Chapter 205 Gift
Bian Zhi didn't answer.
His eyes fell on the clothing gift box with a red bow.
A few days ago, that fool secretly asked Lin Ye to take the dress from her room away. It turned out that she went to confirm the size and order an evening dress for her.
Bian Zhi sat there for a while with his mind blank.
When I walked out of the office, the reporters inside were holding their instant noodles and complaining bitterly.
Bian Zhi waved to the fat man and asked him to draft a letter of guarantee and have these people sign it before letting them go.
The fat man was puzzled, but still responded with an "Oh."
Yuan Li followed behind Bian Zhi, crossed his arms, and asked, "Didn't we ask them to sign Wang Meizhen's letter of responsibility? Why did you just let them go so easily?"
Bian Zhi stood at the entrance of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, looked up at the vast starry sky, and said softly, "Today is a good day. I don't want the world to be too chaotic."
Yuan Li was stunned.
But Bian Zhi walked into the security booth and took out two cans of beer from under the table with familiarity, and handed one of them to Yuan Li.
Yuan Li raised his eyebrows.
"It's rare to see you drinking."
The two of them sat on the steps of the fountain, the water splashing behind them.
"I don't understand. What are you afraid of?"
"Before, you and Zhou Suihuai were clearly very good friends. Three years ago, I always thought that you would always be so good together. But why did you suddenly get married?"
Bian Zhi held the beer can, opened it cheerfully, clinked it with Yuan Li's, and took a sip.
"If you like him, just go for it. He doesn't mind that you've been married and divorced before. That means he absolutely cannot live without you. If you have feelings for him, just respond to him."
Bian Zhi's lips curled up slightly in a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Bian Zhi said, "Do you know? Most people in this world have prejudices against Traditional Chinese Medicine. For example, they say it doesn't work quickly enough, or that it's not effective enough for severe cases. Furthermore, due to the relationship between experience and syndrome differentiation, it needs to be verified through treatment responses. These are all challenges that Traditional Chinese Medicine faces."
Yuan Li didn't understand why Bian Zhi suddenly said this.
I just watched her tilt her head back and take another sip of cold beer.
"But everyone says I'm talented, and they all say there's nothing I can't do. But, actually—there are things I can't do well."
Bian Zhi lowered his eyes and drank silently, one sip after another.
Yuan Li sat beside her, but he felt that although Bian Zhi looked relaxed, the burden on her shoulders seemed to be a thousand pounds heavy.
She felt a little sorry for her and didn't understand what this had to do with whether or not to respond to Zhou Suihuai.
However, she was unwilling to push her any further.
Yuan Li then said, "Okay, I won't say anything from now on. You're more comprehensive than any of us. I believe everything you do is carefully considered."
Upon hearing this, Bian Zhi turned around and looked at her, smiling faintly with a hint of self-mockery.
However, she still said nothing.
After dealing with the reporters, Tall, Short, Fat and Thin came out and saw that Bian Zhi was actually interested in drinking, so he brought a box of white wine and gathered around him.
The box of wine was empty and everyone, tall, short, fat and thin, was drunk.
Bian Zhi supported himself on his knees, slowly stood up, and stood under the dark night sky, his body thin.
It was light, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was answering the question Yuan Li had asked before.
Bian Zhi said, "Three years ago, the night before I agreed to marry Ou Moyuan, Father Zhou came to me."
Yuan Li seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand it.
She froze in shock, looking at Bian Zhi's back, her lips opening and closing, not knowing what to say for a long time.
I should ask something.
But it seems that everything has an answer.
She had never expected this to be the reason.
Combined with what Bian Zhi just said: [Actually, there are things I can't do. ]
Yuan Li looked at Bian Zhi with a melancholy look as he was about to take a step. "But, doesn't everyone in the Zhou family like you very much?"
Bian Zhi turned his head and looked at Yuan Li from top to bottom with a smile.
As the cool breeze blew, Bianzhijiusan seemed to sober up a little, and she did not continue the topic.
Instead, facing Yuan Li's astonished eyes, he smiled and said, "We in the Lin family like you and welcome you."
After saying that, Bian Zhi rubbed his aching solar plexus and slowly walked towards the building of the Chinese medicine hospital.
Dinner at Zhou's place.
Chen Yuyan and Lin Rushuang had prepared everything, but there was no sign of Bian Zhi showing up.
Chen Yuyan was a little anxious and tugged at Lin Rushuang's sleeve, "Are you not coming? The dinner has already started for almost half an hour."
Lin Rushuang frowned and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, feeling a little anxious.
She had never been so speechless in her life. Bian Zhi was late for such an important occasion, wasting all her initial planning.
"Impossible. Bian Zhi will definitely come tonight. To put it bluntly, this kind of dinner is a large-scale blind date. Bian Zhi should be here regardless of whether it's because of Zhou Suihuai or because of their friendship."
Lin Rushuang said this, but she felt unsure.
Seeing that Zhou Suihuai was finally left alone and his friends had retreated, Lin Rushang immediately tugged at Chen Yuyan's sleeve.
Chen Yuyan was delighted when she saw this. She twisted her waist and followed Lin Rushang towards Zhou Suihuai.
With her hair hooked at the tips of her ears, Chen Yuyan stood in front of Zhou Suihuai and took out the gift she had carefully prepared. "Master Zhou, this is the birthday present I prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it."
Zhou Suihuai was in no mood and had no good feelings towards Chen Yuyan.
He looked at Chen Yuyan's embarrassed look and frowned, "I don't remember inviting you to my birthday party."
Chen Yuyan, who had wanted to seize the opportunity to contact Zhou Suihuai, froze in her expression.
She gritted her teeth, feeling angry.
She came to give a gift! Even if a normal person doesn't like it, they would still say thank you politely!
Chen Yuyan glanced at Lin Rushang, who signaled her to stay calm. Chen Yuyan swallowed her breath and raised her slightly twisted smile again.
"Hahaha--"
"Master Zhou is such a joker. We are all well-known figures in City A. Isn't it reasonable for us to come to your birthday party?"
Chen Yuyan handed the gift over again and said, "Take a look. Do you like it?"
Seeing that Zhou Suihuai had no intention of taking it, Lin Rushang, who was standing on the side, took Chen Yuyan's gift herself and opened it in front of Zhou Suihuai.
"Master Zhou, this gift may not look big, but our sister Yuyan put a lot of thought into it." Inside the big red gift box was a cufflink inlaid with sparkling diamonds, which attracted the attention of the onlookers on the side.
Seeing people around looking at her, Chen Yuyan couldn't help but straighten her chest.
She spent a lot of money on this cufflink, and she didn't even remove the label to prevent others from mistaking it for a cheap item.
Lin Rushuang naturally saw the label as well. After a feigned exclamation, she pointed it at everyone and said exaggeratedly and loudly, "Sister Yuyan, you are so generous." She glanced at Zhou Suihuai and said jokingly, "Master Zhou, please tell me, what is your relationship with our sister Yuyan? How could I give you such an expensive gift?"
“I’m almost losing count of all the zeros on this label.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became more curious about the price of the cufflink.
Audience member 1: "It doesn't look cheap. I never knew Chen Yuyan was such a generous person before."
Audience member 2: "After all, she was the young mistress of the Ou family before, so it's only natural that she could give a generous gift. But why did she give Zhou Suihuai such an expensive gift?"
The third audience member stared with wide eyes, "Fuck! Are there any ulterior motives between the two? Even if Chen Yuyan was the young mistress of the Ou family before, she was only in the past. Chen Yuyan didn't have a career, so if she wanted to buy something so luxurious, she would be a little short of money. If she didn't have a personal relationship with Young Master Zhou, would she be able to give such an expensive gift?"
Audience member 4: "That's what they say, but the expression on Master Zhou's face is full of disgust. This doesn't seem like they have a good relationship."
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Lin Ye, who was not far away, rolled his eyes, thinking that Chen Yuyan's high profile was really disgusting.
If you really want to give a gift, just do it in a low-key manner.
She seemed to want the whole world to know that she had given him a valuable gift.
Lin Ye put down his wine glass and sneered.
The word "low-key" in gift-giving that Bian Zhi emphasized was completely thrown out of the window.
He took out a key from his pocket and strode towards Zhou Suihuai with a proud and confident look.
Stand still in front of Lin Rushang.
He first glanced at the price tag.
He scoffed, picked up the label, and took the initiative to count them out loud for them.
"Come, let me see how many zeros there are. Also, let me see how much Zhou Suihuai values in your sister Yuyan's heart."
"one."
"two."
"Five."
“…”
