I had just taken over a new position and was incredibly busy.
Everything seed 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 ti 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 .
What did he an 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 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 ti to get back to you. Email your report to my inbox, and I’ll reply when I have ti.”
“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 .
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 ti to chat with her.
“Have you dealt with Yuan Li?”
“Inford 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 ngyan give you any trouble?”
“She’s probably too busy dealing with her issues right now!”
In spite of being calculating, Ye ngyan is ultimately a graduating student with no work experience.
She hasn’t experienced a harsh professional environnt. Playing probabilities with , 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 a ssage.
She even sent a red envelope containing money as a birthday gift.
With the phrase “Happy birthday” flashing on it.
Only then did I rember that today was September 16th, my birthday.
Wenya sends 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 .
Half an hour later, my car pulled up to ngle Restaurant’s entrance.
It was a thed restaurant.
A place popular among young couples.
The atmosphere was particularly good, with private rooms…
By the ti 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 handso.
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 sll the cologne he wore, mixed with the scent of shower gel and aftershave.
This suggested that he had bathed and changed his out at ho before coming.
As far as I knew him, Gu Yuanzhou would be so ticulous only when eting soone very important.
Was he… really this concerned about a female employee now?
In my mont of pause, he was already greeting .
“You’re half an hour late.”
“I’ve been dealing with company matters, working overti, and then ended up in a car race on the way here.”
His expression relaxed considerably,
“I’ll let it go this ti since you were promoted today.”
I pulled out a chair and sat down.
“President Gu, did you call 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 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 to a al.
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 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, nurous tis while passing by jade shops, I’ve wanted to buy one but have always held back…
I rember 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 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 mont…
“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 noticing.
He walked over to …
“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 .
“Happy Birthday!”
Looking into the deep gaze in his eyes,
For a mont, I felt transported back in ti.
Back to the warm tis when we were deeply in love.
Caught in such a poignant mont, I felt a surge of emotions, “President Gu, thank you!”
“No need to thank , 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 co 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 mont.
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.
