Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Let’s Throw a Party for Little Wu to Celebrate! Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Let’s Throw a Party for Little Wu to Celebrate! Qingwu watched as Shen Jishi skillfully swiped his card, feeling a bit of a headache.
Forget it, she thought, knowing that a portion of the one hundred million would end up in her big brother’s pocket. Earning Fourth Brother so extra money didn’t feel as uncomfortable now.
Maybe next ti she should let her big brother’s mall have so extra profit!
While Shen Jishi was settling the bill, Qingwu whispered, “Arrange for soone to keep an eye on Lin Jingsheng, place people around Grandma Lin’s grave, and don’t let anyone disturb her peace.”
She was always worried that Lin Jingsheng might act out of desperation and do sothing disrespectful to Grandma. It would make Grandma sad, watching from above.
“Okay, I got it. Boss, you really brought your own brother here to boost sales, huh? I was wondering who asked to close the shop early for this spectacle!”
Qingwu: “…”
Shen Jishi signed with a flourish and waved to Qingwu, “Xiao Wu, let’s head upstairs to have dinner with Big Brother!”
“Okay.”
Shen Jishi had bought his sister a whole load of clothes, feeling quite cheerful as he led Qingwu to the sa sky restaurant where Shen Boyi had taken her before.
Inside the restaurant, Shen Boyi had already prepared the dishes, standing in front of a flower-covered table in a sharp suit and gentlemanly pulled a chair out for Qingwu.
“Thank you, big brother.”
Shen Boyi clapped his hands, and the waitstaff stread in, placing an array of desserts in front of Qingwu.
“Try it, Xiao Wu. It’s a new creation from Big Brother’s restaurant.”
The cakes before her were exquisitely crafted, each made into a small and adorable shape that imdiately whetted one’s appetite.
Qingwu took a bite with a little gold spoon and remarked, “Delicious, there seems to be so lemon juice added, it’s refreshing without being cloying.”
“This dessert is a bit lacking though, the amount of cocoa powder seed to overpower the cake’s original aroma.”
Shen Boyi nodded, motioning for the head chef to co over.
Jakes, the French chef with his chef’s hat on, was not pleased about soone critiquing his desserts.
These Easterners couldn’t possibly appreciate how delicious his desserts were!
He had heard that the one critiquing his desserts was the eldest Ms. Shen who had just returned ho, but what did a girl from the countryside know about desserts?!
As Jakes followed the waiter out, he saw Qingwu, elegantly dining at the table.
Jakes: !!!
Wasn’t this the prodigious young lady who had critiqued his cooking in France before?
Thanks to her advice, he managed to win the championship at the international culinary competition!
Thinking about Qingwu’s assessnt of his desserts just now, Jakes felt a pang of embarrassnt on his face!
Qingwu saw Jakes and was clearly surprised that her big brother’s restaurant’s pastry chef was him.
“Sorry, Ms. Shen, I will certainly practice my culinary skills diligently, the recipe for this dessert was a bit of a misstep, and it’s unworthy of your refined palate!”
Shen Boyi said indifferently, “Take it away, Xiao Wu said the cheesecake was delicious, keep that for the future, no need to serve the others.”
“Yes!”
Jakes wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed to Qingwu, and took the batch of failed cakes away.
What an embarrassnt!
The restaurant manager jogged in and stopped in front of Shen Boyi.
“President Shen, there are a few police officers who say they need to see the eldest Ms. Shen.”
Shen Boyi and Shen Jishi both looked over, frowning slightly, and stared at the manager with seriousness and anxiety.
“They’re looking for Xiao Wu? Did they say what it’s about?”
“No, they just said the eldest Ms. Shen should know.”
Shen Boyi frowned, “Could it be about the kidnapping incident? But why didn’t they contact us? I was the one who called the police, and Fourth Brother is Xiao Wu’s lawyer. Why would the police go directly to Xiao Wu?”
Qingwu: “…”
She finally understood why the Lin family mother and daughter were arrested; it was her big brother who reported it.
“I don’t know either, let the police in.”
Shen Boyi and Shen Jishi exchanged a glance and instructed the manager, “Let the police in.”
Three plainclothes officers in International Police uniforms strode in from outside, standing before Qingwu. Two officers held a banner on either side of her.
[Thanking the Helpful Citizen Qingwu, the International Police Alliance Salutes You!]
The three officers saluted Qingwu, “Thank you for your outstanding contribution to Operation D! We salute you!”
Qingwu: “…”
She had said many tis that she didn’t need a banner; she had no place to put it even if they gave it to her!
“You don’t need to bring it next ti; I don’t have room at ho.”
Back when she was at the Lin Family, she had received one as well, and Qian Yueqiang scolded her, saying that the banner was too unsightly and clashed with the Lin Family’s decor, and told her not to bring such worthless things ho.
Shen Boyi imdiately stood up, a polite and warm smile on his face.
“Xiao Wu is just joking; we have plenty of space at ho. Thank you very much!”
Shen Jishi stepped forward, accepting the banner, his smile broader than when he wins a lawsuit!
“Thank you for going out of your way to deliver this. Our Xiao Wu wasn’t involved in any dangerous operation, was she?”
In his mind, anything that warranted a banner personally delivered by international police surely involved a relatively dangerous operation.
Since the banner didn’t specify the operation, it must be highly confidential!
More than the banner, they cared for Qingwu’s safety.
Qingwu quickly spoke up, “No, it was just that I happened to co across so suspicious-looking people at the bar last ti, and I thought sothing was off, so I called the police.”
Shen Boyi extended his hand, shaking hands with the lead officer, exuding the aura of soone in charge. “I’ll see you out.”
“No need, please stay; we’ll return to our station after delivering the banner!”
After the officers left, Shen Boyi realized his forehead was covered in sweat!
“Xiao Wu, you really didn’t do anything dangerous? Although the banner makes Big Brother proud of you, we don’t lack these things. There’s no need for a girl to put herself in the spotlight, your safety is always the most important!”
Recalling the ti at the bar when Qingwu encountered a dangerous situation, Shen Boyi felt a wave of dread!
Had he known, he would have kept his sister by his side all along!
Qingwu quickly explained, “Big Brother, I didn’t participate in anything dangerous; I just made a phone call to the police.”
Shen Boyi and Shen Jishi breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the bright red banner, Shen Boyi began contemplating where to hang it!
“Let’s hang it in the living room! Alongside the Jade Smoke Residence Painting!”
Qingwu: “…”
The living room’s Jade Smoke Residence Painting was the final piece by a contemporary master of Chinese painting, auctioned at a staggering six hundred million. To place her banner alongside such a masterpiece?
Shen Jishi: “That’s inappropriate; it should be in my office!”
Qingwu: “…”
Frequent visitors to Shen Jishi’s office included billionaires and important governnt officials, along with many international figures. Seeing her banner there felt embarrassing…
“Bring it ho first; Xiao Wu is so impressive, we should throw a party to celebrate!”
Qingwu: “…”
This was the smallest banner she had ever received. Previously, when she personally participated in international rescues, she had been awarded honorary dals from the United Nations. If she brought everything out, would the Shen Family need to honor them all directly?
Seeing the look of excitent on the Shen brothers’ faces, Qingwu swallowed her words again.
Forget it, when her brothers find a place to hang the banner, she would quietly take it down later!
