Summer vacation is a time for other students to relax and have fun, but for Xu Xiu, it's the beginning of a nightmare.
Bai Yushu had meticulously planned his summer vacation schedule, leaving him no time to rest. Even though his boss was finally on vacation, he still had to make the most of every second.
As the company grows larger, many problems and conflicts will emerge, requiring someone to make the final decisions.
This person could only be Xu Xiu, so after the holiday, Xiao Ruoyan, Ning Bufan, and Wang Mengqi went back to Jincheng first, while he stayed in Hangzhou to work overtime at the company...
Liu Qianxue was also called back by Xu Xiu. His personal secretary seemed dispensable, mainly because Xu Xiu himself was quite resistant to her.
Moreover, Liu Qianxue also has classes and is usually quite busy. This time, Xu Xiu asked her to return to Jincheng first, ostensibly to help him, the boss, supervise the work there.
To exercise the powers of the big boss on his behalf is like an imperial envoy in ancient times.
Xu Xiu's words in Jincheng probably carried less weight than Liu Qianxue's; Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting were more accommodating to Liu Qianxue.
Seeing the boss's troubled expression, Bai Minjing asked softly, "Boss, is something the matter?"
"Sigh, nothing much, I just miss my wife..."
Xu Xiu has been at the company in Hangzhou for half a month, and he can only video chat with Hanhan every day.
A day apart feels like three autumns; how could he not worry, especially after the two had consummated their marriage...
Xu Xiu noticed Bai Minjing's expression—wanting to laugh but not daring to—when she heard the big boss's words.
"Sister Bai, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Huh? No, boss."
"Go and have a relationship, and you'll understand how I feel right now."
"Boss, where's more fun than making money?"
Xu Xiu: "......"
After working at the company for almost a month, Xu Xiu finally managed to persuade Bai Yushu to give his boss a week off.
However, Bai Minjing will be going with them; she may not be there in person, but there are many things that need to be coordinated.
Only after returning to Jincheng's home and seeing Hanhan did I realize that I was still alive.
In July, because Xu Xiu didn't come back, everyone skipped their birthday celebrations.
After Xu Xiu returned, Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi found him and asked him to celebrate his birthday together.
Before returning, Xu Xiu went to a shopping mall in Hangzhou and bought a lot of gifts, not because he had a good memory.
Instead, Wang Mengqi would send him messages frequently, reminding him every few days.
Xu Xiu was speechless; even his fiancée didn't have so many demands.
Xiao Ruoyan did prepare a gift for him.
For some reason, the four of them ended up at the same restaurant they had eaten at last year, in the same private room.
As soon as they entered, Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan looked at Xu Xiu with great anticipation, like children waiting for the adults to bring out their gifts.
Xu Xiu placed the bag on the table and took out the gifts he had bought for them. Ning Bufan received a watch.
Wang Mengqi is her favorite lipstick, and it's also her favorite color.
As for why Xu Xiu knew, it was naturally because of the gift that Wang Mengqi had specified...
Ning Bufan looked at the watch in his hand and liked it at first sight; he couldn't put it down.
Xiao Ruoyan took out a smart bracelet and gave it to Xu Xiu. Although the gift was not expensive, it had a different meaning.
Seeing how busy Xu Xiu has been lately, even working overtime at night, she thought of buying him a bracelet with features like blood sugar and blood pressure monitoring.
Although Xu Xiu knew these functions were somewhat useless, he completely appreciated Hanhan's thoughtfulness.
Then look at Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi on the side; there's no harm without comparison.
Thinking that his wife still cared about him the most, Xu Xiu took out the gift he had prepared for Hanhan from his bag.
When Xiao Ruoyan opened the box, she found a card inside that looked like a room key.
Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan also looked over, their expressions quite interesting.
"Old Xu, what's going on?"
Wang Mengqi looked at Xu Xiu with a gossipy expression, clearly having misunderstood.
"What are you thinking, Mengqi? This is my room key for the villa in Hangzhou..."
"Holy crap."
Ning Bufan shouted it out directly.
"Old Xu, when did you buy a villa?"
"I stopped by a few days ago on my way back, and bought what I liked."
Xu Xiu answered casually.
Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan were speechless. Why was he buying a house like he was buying vegetables at the market?
Xiao Ruoyan looked at the room key in her hand, her face full of surprise: "Xiu, why did you suddenly think of buying a house?"
"There's no particular reason. I just didn't know what to give you for your birthday, so I thought I'd just give you a villa."
"Xiao Fan has already given me a house, I can't let him outdo me."
Wang Mengqi suddenly felt that the studio apartment wasn't so appealing anymore; she really wanted a villa too.
Looking at Wang Mengqi's expression, Ning Bufan knew that his standards for buying a house had risen to a new level.
"Old Xu, what are you planning to give Xiao for his birthday next year? A sports car?"
"Xiao Fan, that's a great idea."
Xu Xiu glanced at Ning Bufan and praised him.
At this moment, Ning Bufan really wanted to slap himself. He had just brought up the very thing he shouldn't have said, and he had only made trouble for himself.
After dinner, Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi had to leave first, while Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan planned to go shopping at the mall.
As soon as he entered the mall, a lot of people gathered around him, leaving Xu Xiu completely bewildered and unable to figure out what was going on.
Little did he know that the more interviews and public appearances he made, the more famous he became.
Now he might be recognized even if he walks down the street.
With no other option, he ended up buying a mask and hat at the mall. He never imagined he would one day receive the same treatment as a celebrity.
Xiao Ruoyan felt as if she were having a secret rendezvous with her idol, because Xu Xiu was just as good-looking as the idols on TV.
But before she could be smug for long, fans recognized her, and many people who gathered around said they really liked the clothes she designed.
Now she has no choice but to wear a mask and hat.
In the end, the two could only wander around in places with fewer people; it turns out that being too famous is not a good thing.
If you have to bring a bunch of security guards and entourage when you go out in the future, what's the point of shopping?
After they finished shopping and returned home, Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting were already waiting for them.
Upon entering, Fang Xueting took Xiao Ruoyan's hand and asked, "Any requirements for getting engaged at the end of the year?"
"Oh, Auntie, I don't have any requests. Why call me Auntie? Just call me Mom."
Xu Xiu: "......"
"Ah, Mom..."
Xiao Ruoyan was completely bewildered, unsure whether she should call out or not.
Xu Tinglong, unable to bear watching any longer, finally spoke up to dissuade the child, saying, "Don't frighten the child. It's better to let things take their course."
Fang Xueting realized she had been a bit too hasty and quickly explained, "Ruoyan, Auntie just likes you so much, please don't mind."
"Auntie, no, I like you too."
"Mom, what's the rush? She'll be your daughter-in-law sooner or later. A cooked duck can't just fly away, can it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Xueting stood up and grabbed Xu Xiu's ear.
"You brat, you've been waiting a few days and you're itching for a beating, haven't you? You've been on vacation for over a month and only just came back, leaving Ruoyan all alone at home. I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
"Oh dear, Mom, I can't help it."
