Chapter 135: 135 His Surprises_1
Everything seemed to be developing in the direction I wanted….
I needed to create more detailed and better plans.
Not until around half past eight in the evening did I find time to pour myself a cup of coffee.
Then I sat in my previous favorite office, staring at the city’s lights, deep in thought.
I pondered over the things Gu Yuanzhou had said to me.
What did he mean exactly?
I knew that every step I took was careful and perilous. Any carelessness could lead to catastrophe.
My phone rang, it was Shen Yishu on the line.
He was single-handedly holding up a newly established company.
Whenever he encountered problems that he could not solve, he would call and ask me for help.
“Xiaoyun, you said that the factory has been contacted, and the main broadcaster has also been identified, can we start live streaming of goods now?”
“Yes! I’ve been pretty busy these past few days and haven’t had time to get back to you. Email your report to my inbox, and I’ll reply when I have time.”
“Alright!”
The phone call with Shen Yishu lasted for more than ten minutes.
After I hung up, I realized it was already nearing nine o’clock. I quickly turned off my computer, grabbed my bag, and hurried out the door.
On the road, Wenya also called me.
While I was driving, I answered with my earphones. It was rush hour, and the traffic was slightly congested.
With my car crawling along in the traffic jam, it was a great time to chat with her.
“Have you dealt with Yuan Li?”
“Informed the police, and left it to the traffic police. Anyway, we’ve given all the evidence we have to the police, she’ll likely get at least three years.”
“Did Ye Mengyan give you any trouble?”
“She’s probably too busy dealing with her issues right now!”
In spite of being calculating, Ye Mengyan is ultimately a graduating student with no work experience.
She hasn’t experienced a harsh professional environment. Playing probabilities with me, she stands no chance.
I’m almost ten years older than her, and I didn’t idle away those ten years.
“Fine, you’re good. Has Ding Yinuo disclosed anything about the love letter yet?”
“He said he knows who wrote it, but he won’t reveal who!”
“Heh, you really can’t guess this one huh!”
“I have to stop here, I need to refuel!”
“Oh, by the way, happy birthday!
Just before Wenya hung up, she sent me a message.
She even sent me a red envelope containing money as a birthday gift.
With the phrase “Happy birthday” flashing on it.
Only then did I remember that today was September 16th, my birthday.
Wenya sends me a red envelope every year on this day.
Oh boy, I’ve been so busy lately, I would have completely forgotten if she hadn’t reminded me.
Half an hour later, my car pulled up to Mengle Restaurant’s entrance.
It was a themed restaurant.
A place popular among young couples.
The atmosphere was particularly good, with private rooms…
By the time I found the private room, Gu Yuanzhou had been waiting for a while.
A circle of small candles was lit on the table, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Under the candlelight, the man’s rugged features were strikingly handsome.
The pure black suit made him look even more refined.
His hair was styled immaculately with wax, and his suit was perfectly ironed.
I could smell the cologne he wore, mixed with the scent of shower gel and aftershave.
This suggested that he had bathed and changed his out at home before coming.
As far as I knew him, Gu Yuanzhou would be so meticulous only when meeting someone very important.
Was he… really this concerned about a female employee now?
In my moment of pause, he was already greeting me.
“You’re half an hour late.”
“I’ve been dealing with company matters, working overtime, and then ended up in a car race on the way here.”
His expression relaxed considerably,
“I’ll let it go this time since you were promoted today.”
I pulled out a chair and sat down.
“President Gu, did you call me here today just to celebrate my promotion?”
I could hardly believe that he would care so much about a female subordinate, it’s quite extraordinary.
He just looked at me intently, then produced a red cloth box.
“See if you like it.”
There’s even a gift?
I got a gift for my promotion, that’s quite a nice perk.
But, I helped him rid the company of Yuan Li, the parasite. It’s only right that he treats me to a meal.
I curiously opened the cloth box.
On the red velvet, laid a jade bracelet.
Under the light, the bracelet was luminescent, obviously of great value.
I actually really liked jade bracelets.
My aunt, Wu Lijuan gave me a pair when I first got married.
But one of those two bracelets was shattered by my daughter and the other by my son.
In retrospect, jade bracelets really aren’t suitable for those who have children to take care of.
Since then, numerous times while passing by jade shops, I’ve wanted to buy one but have always held back…
I remember once when we passed by a Jin Fengxiang Jade Shop, I couldn’t resist and tried on a bracelet.
Gu Yuanzhou thought I looked very good with it on and wanted to buy it right there and then, but I refused.
My reason to him was that he should wait until the children were grown up and didn’t need me to hold them anymore before buying it. Otherwise, it would be a waste.
Upon closer inspection, and to my shock, this jade bracelet is exactly the one I had my eyes on back then.
I flipped it over and saw the bottom label marked with “Jin Fengxiang…”.
I really loved this jade bracelet.
Indeed, I was getting a little ahead of myself at that moment…
“Try it on!”
“Sure!”
I eagerly put it on my wrist. It was not too big, not too small, just the right fit.
While I was trying on the bracelet, Gu Yuanzhou had gotten up without me noticing.
He walked over to me…
“It’s quite beautiful.”
“Yes, President Gu, this bracelet must have been expensive, it must have been a big expense.”
As soon as I finished speaking,
He took a birthday candle-lit cake from a waiter, and slowly placed it in front of me.
“Happy Birthday!”
Looking into the deep gaze in his eyes,
For a moment, I felt transported back in time.
Back to the warm times when we were deeply in love.
Caught in such a poignant moment, I felt a surge of emotions, “President Gu, thank you!”
“No need to thank me, as long as you’re happy! Make a wish!”
“Alright then!”
I closed my eyes and made a small wish by the candles.
I hope my deep-seated vengeance is avenged!
I wish for my two children to be reincarnated and come back to us!
After a while, I opened my eyes and blew out the candles.
Gu Yuanzhou took the cake cutter, cut the cake into four pieces, and put each piece in front of its designated spot.
Watching his familiar motions,
I was taken aback for a moment.
When we used to go out for dinner as a family of four, that’s how he would distribute the food.
He, myself, two children, one piece each. That’s how we used to divide our birthday cakes every year!
Wait a minute, birthday!!!!
That’s right, today’s my birthday, but not Song Xiaoyun’s birthday.
Yes, Gu Yuanzhou was celebrating my birthday, not Song Xiaoyun’s birthday.
With that realization, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
