"Look, it's really beautiful." Huo Haoshen put on his watch, stretched his hand out in front of Ruan Ruan, and admired it himself.
The other men also put on their watches, and the two women opened the skincare products to take a look. They were very happy to see that the products were from the Beijing Overseas Chinese Store.
It's not that they're materialistic, but rather that bringing back gifts from so far away shows the sister-in-law's appreciation for her sister-in-law, and they will reciprocate in kind.
"When did you get back?" Huo Haoshen asked as they put away their gifts.
"I came back yesterday and slept all day. I couldn't fall back asleep this morning. Hao Cheng is busy, so I thought I'd come and see you all since it's almost Chinese New Year."
"You've come at the right time. The financial statements for the first half of this year are out. I was just about to take them to the factory manager. Here, take a look first." With that, Zheng Xuyang handed her the statements that Lu Shuyan had given him earlier.
"Why should I look at this? You know what's going on. Perfect timing. I'll go with you to the factory manager to discuss the holiday arrangements for the New Year and the New Year's gifts."
She hates looking at those densely packed numbers the most; every time she looks at them, she feels her scalp tingling, so she doesn't want to look at them at all.
The two arrived outside the factory manager's office.
"Ta-da!"
"Please come in."
"Director Chu, it's been a long time!" After the two pushed open the door and went in, Ruan Ruan was the first to greet him, after all, he was helping her make money and was much older than her.
"Oh my, Comrade Ruan, what brings you here today?" He was quite surprised to see Ruan Ruan come in with Zheng Xuyang. He had seen her at the pharmaceutical factory countless times since it was started.
At first, he was quite puzzled, but after asking Commander Gu, he learned that this comrade was just lazy, especially in winter, he would stay at home as much as possible and really didn't like going out.
So it's quite a surprise to see her in my office now.
"Uncle Chu, you don't need to tease me. I just got back from the capital and came to see you. I even brought you a gift. See if you like it." As she spoke, she took out a long box, placed it in front of him, and gestured for him to open it and take a look.
Looking at the box in front of him, and then at the little girl smiling at him, he couldn't refuse her request, so he opened it. Inside lay a silver fountain pen.
"This, this is too valuable, I can't accept it. You can take it back and use it yourself." With that, he closed the box and pushed it back in front of her.
"Uncle Chu, it's just a fountain pen, there's no question of it being valuable or not. Besides, it's a New Year's gift from your niece, are you really not going to accept it? And it's not just you who has one, my brother and the others have one too."
The fountain pen was bought in Beijing. Originally, it was intended as a gift for her older brothers, Ruan Shaohong and the others. However, after thinking about it, she realized that Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen had been traveling a lot and had spent all the money they earned on their weddings. So, she decided to take this opportunity to give each of them a watch. This left her with a few extra fountain pens. She and Huo Haocheng each kept one, and she gave the remaining one to the factory manager.
“That’s right, factory manager, just accept it. Look, what Ruan Ruan gave us is even more valuable.” As he spoke, he showed him the watch on his wrist.
Seeing this, he realized that a pen was indeed no match for a watch, so he didn't refuse and accepted the pen.
