Guan Miao went home to rest for half a day, and then prepared to take Chi Yi and the others to a nearby shopping mall to buy some gifts.
"Well, I have to go to the mall anyway, so why not buy a couple of clothes for my daughter as well?"
"Okay, with Shui Shui here, even if paparazzi do take pictures, we have a legitimate reason."
"Okay, let's pack up and get ready to go."
"Why don't you take San San with you this time? He's been cooped up at home for so long, he must be terribly bored."
Guan Miao picked up San San and said, "Huh, you still remember my existence? How many days have you not come to play with me?"
San San rubbed against her arms proudly. Guan Miao stroked its fur and said, "Well, I was too busy the past two days and forgot about you. And with Sister Yuning here, you've been pampered and become fat."
Wen Yuning, who was standing by, turned around and looked at San San, as if asking if he hadn't taken good care of her during this period.
San San stroked the cat's heart and recalled the past few days. It seemed that they were really good.
Seeing that it had nothing to say, Guan Miao hummed twice, "Okay, so I'll take you out to play this time. But even though you're a kitten, you still have to bring a leash."
As she spoke, she took the yellow leash that Chai Yue handed over and was about to put it around San San's neck. "This might be a little uncomfortable, but it's required by law in our country. We have to wear it when entering large shopping malls and public places, so I have to inconvenience you for a while."
[All right.]
Although San San felt uncomfortable, he accepted it obediently.
After the group was ready, they prepared to go out.
In the maternity and baby store of a supermarket, "Hello, do you have any new gifts for my child?"
"Yes, please follow me."
After spending most of the day in the mall, they returned home feeling unsatisfied. "It's so comfortable! It would be great if we could just not have to work forever."
"That won't do. You can't let San San stay with you forever, right?"
The group chatted and laughed while sorting out the afternoon's results. "The Hundred Days Banquet is the day after tomorrow. Let's go together."
………………
Two days later, Guan Miao and his group set out early. "How long will it take us to arrive?"
"If nothing goes wrong, we'll be there in half an hour," Chi Yi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "This area where we live is mostly high-rise buildings, so it's not far away."
"I see."
With Chi Yi's guidance, we avoided the roads prone to traffic jams and successfully arrived at the Shangju's home in just twenty minutes.
Several people got off the car. Guan Miao was a little surprised to see the shell of the building in front of him that was exactly the same as his own. He took Chi Yi's hand and asked about this matter.
"You're talking about this, it's very simple. To avoid all kinds of disputes caused by renovations, the higher-ups say that anyone living here must not change the layout of the house, otherwise they will be evicted.
But it can also be considered a disguised form of protection and admonition, telling them that no matter how high their official position is, everyone is the same in the eyes of the people at the top.
Of course, this kind of talk can only fool children. The person at the top is also a human being, and as long as they are human, they will have feelings. With feelings, don’t they have closeness and distance?
Guan Miao was still a little confused. "Then wasn't my dad's house also arranged by the bureau? Why do I remember it being different from my house?"
"Of course, your father's house is a state-subsidized house for talented people, and yours is for high-ranking officials. They have different meanings, so the layout and size of the rooms are of course different.
But yours is different, it has several cameras installed inside."
"I know, it's not important. Let's just go in quickly with the gifts."
As they were about to go in, they were stopped by the guard at the door. "Please show us your invitation letter and ID card so we can check it."
After a series of verification procedures, the guards confirmed their identities before letting them in.
After they were far away, Chai Yue murmured, "A hundred-day banquet is way too elaborate."
"After all, the Commercial Bureau has a special status, so please understand."
Led by the etiquette lady, they soon arrived at the main hall. Shang Ju had changed into a festive suit, and his expression was much more relaxed than before.
Seeing them, Shang Ju immediately came over, "Miao Miao, Chi Yi."
"Shangju, long time no see."
"Commercial Bureau, this is a gift we prepared for Xixi. I hope she likes it."
Shang Ju accepted all the gifts offered to him with a smile, "Thank you for your help, I am very happy that you came.
By the way, you haven’t seen Xixi yet, I’ll take you to see her.”
"OK."
The business bureau took them to a compartment where a young man in a wheelchair was teasing a child in a cradle.
"dad."
"Mingfei, this is Guan Miao, Chi Yi, Wen Yuning, Chai Yue, and An Jing whom I told you about before."
The man in the wheelchair still had a sick look on his face. Although the corners of his lips were raised, there was always a trace of sadness in his eyes. "Hello, Miss Guan Miao. I heard from my father that it was you who saved us back then. I should have thanked you for saving my life as soon as I woke up.
Unfortunately, my health is not good, so I have delayed it until now. I hope Miss Guan does not mind. "
Guan Miao waved his hands repeatedly, "You are too polite. The Commercial Bureau has helped me before, and with so many lives at stake, I can't just stand by and watch them die, so you don't have to be so polite."
Shang Mingfei listened to her words, and the smile on his face faded. "I understand what Miss Guan said, but you saved me no matter what, and I will always remember this kindness. If you need me in the future, Miss Guan, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best."
