"It's okay, I'll celebrate your birthday for you." Zhou Shen said.
"No, really." Chen Xiaohui was a little anxious.
"Why not?"
Zhou Shen glanced at the red string around Chen Xiaohui's neck and said softly, "I'm giving you a gift, you don't need to feel any psychological pressure. Even between friends, it's normal to give a birthday gift, right? If you refuse, then do you not consider me a friend?"
Zhou Shen was eloquent and Chen Xiaohui couldn't win the argument. Seeing that he insisted on giving her another gift, she had to take out the ring hanging on the red rope from her collar.
"This is the gift you gave me. I have received it. I like it very much. Thank you!"
Seeing the ring, Zhou Shen grinned, "I just want to buy you another necklace so you can wear it around your neck."
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Chen Xiaohui asked in surprise: "Do you know I'm wearing a ring?"
Zhou Shen did not hide it and nodded and said, "Manager Li told me."
Chen Xiaohui: “…”
Unable to persuade Zhou Shen, Chen Xiaohui followed him to the mall and picked out a platinum necklace.
Zhou Shen personally helped her take off the ring hanging on the red rope, then passed the necklace through the ring and helped her put it around her neck.
"When you are willing to be with me, I will help you put this ring on your finger."
Zhou Shen said softly, with tenderness in his eyes.
Chen Xiaohui lowered her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. She did not respond, but said, "Thank you."
Zhou Shen did not say anything else. There was still a long time to go. He believed that one day Chen Xiaohui would be able to untie the knot and accept him.
He was willing to wait until she was willing to accept him. He knew that she had him in her heart.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
After sending Chen Xiaohui home, Zhou Shen left.
He did not do anything out of line to Chen Xiaohui.
…
Zhang Yan stayed in the hospital for more than half a month before being discharged.
During her hospitalization, Li Man would go to the hospital to accompany her after get off work every day.
Accompany her to eat. After dinner, Riemann pushed her in a wheelchair to take a walk in the garden downstairs.
After taking a walk, they returned to the ward and Li Man brought hot water to help her wash her body.
Riemann took the dirty clothes home to wash.
The hospital here does not provide accompanying care, so family members must leave when the time comes.
But with a nurse taking care of him, Riemann felt relieved.
On Saturdays and Sundays, Huang Duoduo would come back from school and go to the hospital to accompany Zhang Yan.
Li Man asked Chen Xiaohui to buy chickens, turtles and other things for her every day. After buying them, she would make soup in the restaurant and then send it to the hospital.
It took a hundred days to heal the broken bones. Although she was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yan still couldn't get out of bed and walk.
Li Man had to go to work and had no time to take care of Zhang Yan, so he hired a Filipino maid to take care of her.
In order to take care of Zhang Yan more conveniently, Li Man moved in with her.
Huo Jiansheng would pick up Li Man after get off work every day, and then go home together to accompany Zhang Yan, and he would not go back until it was time to go to bed.
He did not live with Riemann at Zhang Yan's place.
Because Riemann wouldn't let him live there.
…
After three months of preparation, the new store finally opened.
Zhou Shen finally went to Xindian because Riemann asked Chen Xiaohui to manage the new store.
In this way, Zhou Shen can get a promotion and a raise, and be with Chen Xiaohui at the same time.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Zhou Shen knew Li Man’s intentions and was very grateful to her, so he worked even harder.
He knew that Chen Xiaohui also had shares in this store, so he treated the store as his own and worked hard so that Chen Xiaohui wouldn't have to work so hard.
Over the past three months, Zhou Shen had been caring and considerate towards Chen Xiaohui, but he had never done anything inappropriate towards her.
This made Chen Xiaohui trust his character even more.
Riemann still manages the original hotel.
Although Chen Xiaohui manages the new store, the purchasing of the original restaurant is still done by Chen Xiaohui. It is quite hard for Chen Xiaohui to manage the purchasing of two restaurants, but fortunately with Zhou Shen's help, she is not so tired.
