Xu Zhaoyue explained simply, "You've always liked novel things since you were little, so I think you'll definitely like this too."
Chen Yun nodded, "If you like it, then I'll take it to school and play with my roommates."
“Miss Xu, this gift is a bit too expensive.” Zhang Pei looked at the pen again and again, then put it down. He was certain that this was a pen that would cost him four months’ salary.
"It's just a gift to mark our meeting, there's no such thing as expensive or not." Xu Zhaoyue didn't know what brand of pen Xiao Nan had prepared, and she really wasn't familiar with the prices, so she planned to just laugh it off.
Chen Yun leaned over to take a look. "It's alright. Just keep the gift Xiaoyue gave you! Say a few good words for her company later."
Looking at Chen Yun's carefree expression, Zhang Pei clenched his fist under the tablecloth. He realized that these things were valuable to him, but to these rich young ladies, they were just ordinary pens. He immediately accepted them with a clear conscience.
"We've looked at all the gifts, let's order." Xu Zhaoyue snapped her fingers outside, and a waiter came in. He had been waiting outside, and when he came in, he took a special look at Yue Lanxing. He hadn't expected the young man to be so handsome; it turned out he was a bodyguard.
Although they were gossiping in their hearts, the waiter maintained a very professional demeanor. He first helped them put away their gifts, and said, "It's a pleasure to serve you. What would you four like to order?" Actually, it was mainly Chen Yun and Xu Zhaoyue who were ordering, while the two men simply ordered another serving of the same dish.
"Xiaoyue, you haven't changed at all while you're abroad. As expected, people who are naturally fair-skinned will never get tanned no matter where they are. When they invite you to the banquet, let them have a good look at you."
"By the way, now that you've started working at the company, are you going to hold an onboarding ceremony?" Chen Yun asked.
Xu Zhaoyue knew that Xu Zhaoming hadn't held an induction ceremony, and guessed that she probably wouldn't either. "I probably won't. I just joined the company and haven't achieved anything yet, so how could I have the nerve to hold a party?"
“That’s true, your sister didn’t get one either.” Chen Yun thought for a moment and felt that Xu Zhaoyue’s words made sense. “Did you make any good friends abroad? You can’t just be studying all the time, that would be very boring.”
"Yes, but I'm a student sponsored by the Xu family. I've never been used to Western food, so I rarely go out to eat and don't often run into other students." Xu Zhaoyue has never been very sociable abroad, nor does she need to be.
When Chen Yun heard that she wasn't used to Western food, she immediately looked sad. "Oh? I thought you would need a couple of days to adjust after you got back, so I had Zhang Pei take the morning off and specially chose a Western restaurant. It seems I made the wrong choice."
"I knew it. I remember you don't like Western food either. Why did you choose a Western restaurant? But it's good. After all, you're going to introduce me to your boyfriend. You took a day off to come here, so it wouldn't be good to go back to work smelling like that."
Xu Zhaoyue looked at Zhang Pei, "He only took the morning off, so we won't be able to go shopping this afternoon, right?" Chen Yun nodded, "He went to the newspaper office this morning. I'll take him back after we finish eating."
Xu Zhaoyue went to the newspaper office in the morning and curiously looked at Zhang Pei's clothes again.
It was really strange. Zhang Pei carried a lot of small items, and even had a pen clipped to her pocket, but it just felt like she was deliberately dressing up. However, when she saw Yue Lanxing dressed like this, she felt that this was how it should be.
