Imperial University. Out of sight, out of mind..........Clouds and Water ManorGu Xi came poured himself a glass of red wine, the high-footed glass held between his fingertips.With elegant hands raise...After twenty minutes passed, it was time for the moment everyone had been waiting for - the draw.
Although everyone knows the chances of winning in a lottery with thousands of participants are extremely low, people still hold onto a glimmer of hope that they might win!
Winning means not only getting a substantial prize, but everyone is on the edge of their seats, holding their breath as they wait for her brother to open the card in his hand.
Many people hope to win the draw.
Xu Yixue had been paying attention to the stage, finding it very boring. After all, the raffle was not for her. She told her mother, "Mom, I'll go sit in the room for a bit."
Okay, be careful, I'll be out in a minute to cut the cake.
She doesn't like noisy places. Unless it's the company's annual meeting or her birthday, she definitely wouldn't stay that long.
Stepping out of the hall, it became much quieter, and the air felt different.
Entering the room, it was incredibly quiet. After all, almost no one left midway, and even fewer would come here.
There was a knock at the door, but no one came in.
She probably didn't expect anything when her mother asked the waiter to bring tea and snacks, so she opened the door without any guard.
A tall figure appeared before her: "Ms. Xu, hello, my name is Ji Chuan, I'm Mr. Gu's assistant..."
Before the man could finish his introduction, Xu Yixue said, "What's up"
Ji Chuan raised an eyebrow, feeling a little cold. It was his boss who had insisted he come over, "Ms. Xu, this is a gift from the president."
"Birthday present"
"Yes, the CEO mentioned unintentionally that Ms. Xu's birthday is today when he left two days ago," Ji Chuan calmly replied.
Xu Yixue fell silent for a moment before faintly saying, "Thank you. Thank your CEO for me."
“This is the chairman’s business card, Miss Xu, please accept it.” Ji Chuan said with a smirk, looking at the cold-faced woman in front of him. He thought to himself that his family's chairman would definitely not mind him giving out his business card like this, and he would probably be very happy.
Xu Yi Xue fell silent, but still took the gift and business card. "Thank you," she said before closing the door.
How could his personality be so similar to that of the CEO at home He thought about it as he walked away to go back to work.
In the room, Xu Yixue opened her gift, her brows furrowed and her lips twitched. A pen Who gives women a pen as a birthday present She thought it would be something like lipstick. She looked at it still and put the card and pen into her handbag.
Soon Xu Hengwen came to call her out to cut the cake, revealing her face.
"Hello."
No sooner had she finished speaking than her brother reached out and tousled her long hair, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "You're getting more well-behaved."
"Don't touch my stuff, you stole it! It feels just like petting a puppy." She puffed up her cheeks and said in an angry voice.
"Okay, okay."
She smiled faintly with her lips pressed together.
.....
Ji Chuan got back in the car and immediately reported to his boss, with a slight smile. "Boss, Ms. Xu accepted the gift."
Gu Xicheng didn't answer, he just fell silent and hung up the phone.
Walking to the window, he looked down at the glittering city lights. me show you right now."After finishing his sentence, he pulled his arm out of her grasp and pushed her away.This person is just too heavy.She had to push with all her might just to get him out of the...
