In the past, Li Xiujun would have chatted with the two old men for a long time, but today she was preoccupied and could not talk much, so she asked, "Grandpa, what do you two want to do? Just tell me, I'm quite busy."
"Do you know that your birthday is coming soon?" asked Mr. Li.
"I think I know."
The two old men had agreed in advance that they would let Li Xiujun feel disappointed first and then give her a surprise, so that Li Xiujun would remember it deeply.
"We two old men would like to do it for you at home, what do you think?"
"Anything is fine. I won't say any more to you. Grandpa, you two can do whatever you want. I'm going to eat first." Li Xiujun said softly.
The old man didn't want to waste Li Xiujun's personal time, so he quickly said, "Okay, okay, then go eat quickly. A full meal will give you the energy to work."
After the call ended, the two old men realized something was amiss. They looked at each other. Mr. Li was the first to shake his head and express his opinion, "No, Xiujun doesn't feel right today."
"You've noticed it too, right? I've noticed it too. If there was any day in the past, she would always rush to the front, but today she has no interest at all, so we can't carry out the surprise we prepared for her." Old Master Gu sighed.
"Do you think it's because Gu Qingming didn't come to match her? After all, the two of them haven't seen each other for such a long time. As a young couple, they must miss each other." said Mr. Li.
Old Man Gu took out his cell phone and his face changed. He felt that Gu Qingming had no tact at all. He didn't even call to ask about such a big thing as his girlfriend's birthday.
Gu Qingming was rushing around the airport when he saw the call from Grandpa Gu. He thought Grandpa Gu knew about his return and asked, "Hey, Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? Where are you now?!" Mr. Gu said in a very stern tone.
For a moment, Gu Qingming was a little dazed. He stopped and scratched his head, "I... am at the airport now."
Mr. Li patted Mr. Gu's arm gently, signaling him to calm down. He then leaned over to the phone and slowly inquired, "Airport? Are you coming back?"
"Isn't Xiujun's birthday coming soon? I thought of coming over to give her a surprise." Gu Qingming replied.
The two old men were relieved now. They breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you, a kid, actually know something."
Gu Qingming just felt that the two old men were a little baffling, but he was already used to them being like this. He shook his head helplessly and warned, "You two mustn't let anything slip. I want to give her a surprise."
The two old men answered in unison, "Don't worry, we are still very tight-lipped. Just come over slowly, we are here."
After the two old men knew the answer, they felt relieved and no longer had to worry too much about their own affairs every day.
On the other hand, Brother Xu had been sending people to inquire about Xu Leyan's news. After learning that Xu Leyan had come out, he sent people to find out what her current situation was.
Time passed day by day, but there was no news, and Brother Xu's mood became more and more depressed.
It was another evening. The younger brother came over with no expression on his face, shook his head at Brother Xu, and came to report today's results.
Brother Xu sighed and lit another cigarette, hoping to use this method to relieve his inner worries. Then he sighed deeply and said in a hoarse voice, "Are all of you useless? We've been searching for so many days and there's no news at all?"
None of the younger brothers below spoke.
As a cigarette went out, Brother Xu stood up and said, "It's hard to find anyone to support you bunch of useless people. I'll go find them myself."
"Brother Xu, it's already so late today. Why don't we look for it tomorrow?" The younger brother stepped forward and wanted to stop him.
"I'm going out for a walk, so you don't have to follow me." Brother Xu left after saying this.
The younger brothers next to him looked at each other, but were helpless.
Because of his mood, Brother Xu walked dejectedly all the way, and unknowingly, he arrived at the nightclub where he was beaten as a child.
The scene was like a movie playing in his mind, frame by frame, and he smiled helplessly.
The scene of Xu Leyan saving him also emerged in his mind. Brother Xu blinked his eyes. No, this back view... is so familiar!!!
"Xu Leyan." Brother Xu called out subconsciously.
The woman in front of him stopped walking, and Brother Xu was even more certain that his intuition was correct. He quickly ran forward and said, "It's really you. Why are you here?"
Xu Leyan's expression changed immediately. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "You recognized the wrong person."
"How is it possible? You are Xu Leyan!" Brother Xu confirmed again.
Every time Brother Xu called Xu Leyan's name, Xu Leyan lowered her head even more. She didn't want to be noticed, so she used her arms to break free from Brother Xu's hand and ran away.
"Hey!" Brother Xu shouted from behind, but Xu Leyan ignored him.
Brother Xu didn't understand why. He had clearly recognized it, but he still pretended not to know.
Brother Xu was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
Chu Jie walked around the studio door again and again, frowning, his heart was actually quite complicated. He knew in his heart that his ability was not as high as Li Xiujun's, but the big orders again and again made him feel itchy.
But he couldn't destroy his own sign, so after hesitating for a while, Chu Jie still walked in.
Li Xiujun was working inside. Chu Jie knocked on the window. Li Xiujun quickly put down the tools in her hands, looking confused. Chu Jie waved his hand. Li Xiujun understood what was going on and came out.
"We've received a big order in our studio. Let's give it to you," said Chu Jie.
Li Xiujun was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face. "Wow, really?"
Li Xiujun knew that the big order Chu Jie mentioned must be a considerable sum. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that our studio's reputation would be so great now. I'm so overwhelmed with dividends now, hahahaha."
Chu Jie forced a smile. He didn't want things to turn out like this. He also wanted to take on some big orders, but his ability didn't allow it.
Chu Jie smiled awkwardly, "Then don't let me down, do your best!"
Li Xiujun said seriously, "Don't worry, I will complete the task!"
