Chapter 43 Chapter 43 The one who sent the flowers must be a handsome guy...
Yu Wan’s birthday is August 18th, a date that is very easy to remember. It is also the day she was picked up outside the orphanage.
But Yu Wan herself doesn’t like to celebrate her birthday very much. It can be said that she rarely celebrates her birthday. Occasionally, her birthday would pass for several days, and Yu Wan would look at the calendar and find out that it was her birthday a few days ago.
Yu Wan had never experienced the scenes of inviting friends to birthday parties and receiving beautiful flowers and mountains of gifts. Even the sense of ritual of buying cakes, lighting candles and making wishes did not exist for Yu Wan.
Her biggest impression of her birthday is that she has grown one year older, but she already knew this concept when the new year arrived and did not need a deliberate reminder from her birthday.
The reason for not celebrating her birthday was simple. It was difficult for her to even be alive at that time, so how could she have the extra mood to celebrate her birthday?
But things are different now. Yu Wan has a stable income and a considerable amount of savings, and can barely be considered a wealthy woman.
More importantly, she has friends.
After considering various factors, Yu Wan decided to set this Saturday as the celebration day. She sent a message in the group, asking if everyone had time to have a meal together. If not, next weekend would also be fine.
When Yu Wan entered the administrative area on Friday morning, she thought she would be the first one to arrive. But when she reached the front desk, a figure jumped out from behind a workstation.
"surpries!"
It’s Sun Ning.
Yu Wan wasn't frightened at all, and smiled broadly: "Ningning, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"
Seeing that Yu Wan hadn't been frightened, Sun Ning snorted, "That's boring. I can't scare you anyway. I'm eating. My family made mung bean porridge today. They say it helps reduce internal heat."
Sun Ning handed Yu Wan a pink gift bag and said, "I came to the company early just to be the first to say happy birthday to you. Yu Wan, happy birthday! This is your birthday present."
Yu Wan took the gift bag and smiled even more happily, "Thank you."
Seeing Yu Wan's happiness, Sun Ning smiled too: "Let me make it clear first, when you get home, open it and see for yourself. I promise, this is definitely the best gift!"
Yu Wan nodded, looking serious, "Okay, I will definitely complete the task."
Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared from behind him, pressed against Yu Wan's neck, and spoke in a voice like a ghost seeking revenge: "...What mission? Ningning, you're so insidious. We agreed to deliver it together at noon, but you showed up at the company first. You deliberately gave it to Yu Wan at the right time, right?"
Sun Ning knew Yu Wan's exact working hours earlier than Lai Yanxu. She usually came to work an hour early, so Sun Ning got up early to come to the company today.
She looked at Lai Yanxu, her hands on her hips: "How dare you say that to me? Didn't you also come to the company early? We are the same, don't laugh at me when you are fifty steps ahead."
Lai Yanxu rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with her. He picked up the gift he had prepared and stuffed it into Yu Wan's arms. The big cardboard box almost blocked Yu Wan's entire body.
"Fishball, happy birthday, congratulations, you are one year older and more beautiful."
Yu Wan held the box and struggled to stand: "Thank you, Yan Xu."
Yu Wan didn't deliberately tell them that today was her birthday, but Sun Ning was always considerate. After she sent out the invitation yesterday, she asked directly if they were celebrating her birthday and said that she would definitely attend. Her enthusiasm was like a little trumpet, which made the other two people know about it and they all said that they would make time to attend her birthday celebration.
Yu Wan felt somewhat happy, and there was no moment when the corners of her mouth fell down.
Sun Ning helped carry the cardboard box to the table and set it aside. Lai Yanxu discussed with Yu Wan, "Fishball, I don't think we should go out for dinner on Saturday. Call Mao Xinling and we'll go to your house. Fishball, to be honest, I'm really envious of your cooking. I also want to try that plum pork ribs that made the kids next door cry!"
Ever since she tasted Yu Wan's cooking when she moved, Lai Yanxu has been deeply impressed by her skills. This time, it was a rare opportunity, and she wanted to eat Yu Wan's dishes more than any high-end Michelin restaurant.
Sun Ning thought of Yu Wan's cooking skills and nodded frantically. He counted on his fingers and read out the menu: "Potato beef brisket, loofah and clam soup, honey chicken wings, soy sauce shredded chicken..."
Yu Wan was overwhelmed by what she heard. "Stop, stop, stop. You can come to my house for dinner, but let's eat out this week. I have a voucher for a Michelin restaurant, the Sky Garden Restaurant. I looked it up online, and the setting is beautiful. Don't you want to take some beautiful photos?"
Sun Ning and Lai Yanxu looked at each other, and greedily decided to go to a Michelin restaurant for lunch, go shopping in the afternoon, and then go to Yu Wan's house to have fun in the evening.
There is no way. Compared with the other two, Yu Wan's house is undoubtedly the most perfect place to celebrate.
In order to save rent, Sun Ning and Lai Yanxu still live with their parents. However, the place Mao Xinling rented is too far away and it is a one-bedroom loft. The kitchen is too crowded for both of them.
After much thought, Yu Wan's house is undoubtedly the most suitable, but the landlord is a bit weird and doesn't allow other people to stay overnight. Otherwise, it would be nice to have a party for a night and sleep on the floor at Yu Wan's house.
Yu Wan loves cleanliness and keeps things neatly organized. The floor at home is always spotless and you can walk on it barefoot. Both the decoration and the environment are well-liked by the other people.
Yu Wan agreed to their idea lovingly and helplessly.
The matter of Yu Wan's birthday was not widely publicized, but perhaps because the last incident of reporting Zhao Yushu caused a big stir, Fu Zhiyao took the opportunity to rectify the office atmosphere. The heads of various departments held many meetings during that period to criticize and warn their employees who liked to gossip.
Therefore, when Yu Wan was walking in the office building today, she met several people who took the initiative to greet her and wish her a happy birthday.
Yu Wan felt strange and talked about it during lunch.
Sun Ning said confidently, "Yu Wan, you don't think this company is a school, do you? Those people are so shrewd and snobbish. The interview form you filled out when you joined the company has passed through countless hands, especially since you ended up in the CEO's office. If you didn't usually interact with those people, you would definitely have as many people flattering you as Secretary Cai!"
Thinking of this, Sun Ning felt that she was extremely smart.
A careful analysis of the composition of the staff in President Fu's office: there is Secretary Shang, who has a firm seat and rich experience, Secretary Cai, who is smart and good at dealing with people, and Special Assistant Lin, who is steady and thoughtful. When Special Assistant Lin left, Yu Wan, a down-to-earth secretary who is devoted to work, took over.
Just like in the ancient imperial court, the emperor needs flattering and capable eunuchs around him, and he also needs censors like Yu Wan who are not tempted and fall into depravity!
Censor Yu Wan: “…”
Not long after lunch, Sun Ning sent her a message with several exclamation marks to express shock.
[Yuwan! Come here quickly! Someone sent you flowers!!!]
It was break time now, so Yu Wan put down her phone and went to Sun Ning to bring back a bouquet of flowers.
A very beautiful bouquet of flowers, unlike ordinary flowers that are supported by floral mud, is a completely hand-made bouquet with bright colors. Various styles of fresh and plump flower branches are perfectly contained in moon-white snow pear paper and tied with a flowing and soft ribbon at the bottom, which is high-end and beautiful.
Yu Wan rummaged through the bouquet and finally found a white card with only one sentence on it: Happy Birthday
The font is elegant and neat, very nice looking.
But who sent it?
Just as she was guessing, a shadow fell behind her and the familiar aroma of wormwood came to her.
Yu Wan turned her head and saw Fu Zhiyao as expected.
Fu Zhiyao's eyes inadvertently swept over the greeting card in Yu Wan's hand, and he saw clearly the words written on it. The simple four words "Happy Birthday" were written in iron-stroked and silver-hooked, vigorous and powerful.
The font looked so familiar that he couldn't help but frown.
Fu Zhiyao didn't eat lunch at the company today. He went to the old house and had a meal with his grandmother. A few steps after he walked out of the elevator, he saw Yu Wan holding a bouquet of flowers.
She wore a dark grey short-sleeved shirt with a small V-neck today, and black suit pants tied with a thin brown belt. The hem of the short-sleeved shirt was tucked in to create a slight outline. Her long hair was not tied into a low ponytail. The upper half of her hair was pinned with a black clip, and the lower half of her hair hung naturally behind her shoulders. She looked neat and tidy.
Noticing the direction of the boss's gaze, Yu Wan hurriedly stuffed the card face down into the bouquet and greeted Fu Zhiyao: "Hello, boss."
Fu Zhiyao nodded calmly, walked beside her with one hand in his pocket, and did not ask who sent the flowers. But before returning to the office, he suddenly threw a beautifully wrapped box into her arms and left a message.
"Director Ma gave it to you."
Yu Wan held the bouquet and hurriedly caught the box. When she looked up, Fu Zhiyao had already entered the office.
Yu Wan: “…”
Can't you give her a little more time and let her ask why?
Yu Wan returned to the president's office holding a bouquet of flowers.
Secretary Shang is on a business trip, so there are only her and Secretary Cai in the president's office today.
Secretary Cai was resting in a chair when she saw Yu Wan coming in with a bouquet of flowers. She asked curiously, "Yu Wan, who gave you these flowers? Is it because it's your birthday today?"
Yu Wan shook her head. "I don't know who sent it. It's unsigned."
Secretary Cai, though usually a reliable secretary, was as gossipy as anyone else and jokingly said, "Maybe it's someone who has a crush on you."
Yu Wan quickly interrupted Secretary Cai's reverie, "Not necessarily, maybe just an ordinary colleague."
After saying this, Yu Wan herself felt it was outrageous. How could an ordinary colleague send flowers?
Secretary Cai knew Yu Wan's concerns and was understanding: "Yu Wan, you're still young. It's okay even if you have suitors. Be more selective. Don't be anxious, and don't be shy."
Yu Wan: “…”
This is true, but Secretary Cai is obviously not that old.
No one in the office was allergic to flowers, so Yu Wan placed the bouquet on the empty space next to the coffee machine, using it as a decoration to add some color to the office.
The bouquet was beautifully packaged, and the flowers used were not ordinary roses, but calla lilies, poppies, lily of the valley, and many other kinds of flowers that Yu Wan couldn't name. The colors were rich, but not gaudy, which showed that the person who chose the bouquet had very high standards.
But, who sent it?
In the group, Mao Xinling and Lai Yanxu were more anxious than the other, afraid of missing the scene where Yu Wan was confessed to. They bombarded Yu Wan with messages frantically, wanting to know who the mysterious person who sent the flowers was.
Yu Wan had no choice but to take pictures of the flowers and greeting cards and send them to the group.
Yuwan: [Don't think too much about it. It's not signed, so I don't know who sent it.]
Lemon Tart: [You know what, the handwriting is pretty nice.]
Lifelike: [!! The flowers are super pretty, but he didn't even give me an exclamation point. He must be a really, really, really old-fashioned person.]
Lingling Qi: [! A person's handwriting reflects his character. I guarantee that the man who sent you flowers is a handsome guy.]
Fish Ball:【……】
How can we be sure of the gender when we don’t even know who sent the flowers? Yu Wan didn’t want to listen to the gossip anymore, so she found an excuse to slip away.
Yuwan: [I have to work [typing jpg.]
Lemon Tart: [Hmph, boring Yu Wan.]
Lingling Qi: [Hmph, boring Yu Wan.]
Xuxurusheng: [Hmph, boring Yu Wan.]
Yu Wan: “…”
