This is the old man's 80th birthday, presumably many people will come to cheer, if the invitation is not in place, it will definitely be more troublesome to meet in the future. It seems that it is better to take ideas with Ling Zhaoting.

When she returned home at night, when the two of them had gone to bed, Lu Youyou remembered this matter and asked Ling Zhaoting.

Ling Zhaoting didn't bother with it, just reassured her that he would discuss and decide with the old man about the list.

Soon, under the intensive arrangement of the housekeeper, everything in the Ling family's hall became completely new, and Lu Youyou felt a little proud when she looked at these achievements. This is the first time she's done something like this, so it looks pretty good, right?

The next day was the old man's birthday, and I didn't know that Ling Zhaoting was not satisfied with this result.

Suddenly, Lu Youyou thought of the birthday gift she had prepared for the old man, and Lu Youyou hurriedly drove away from home.

When he came to the jade shop, the shopkeeper smiled and said with a smile when he saw Lu Youyou: "Miss Ye, I was still thinking about sending it to you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

Lu Youyou smiled: "Master, are you done?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Wait a minute, I'll go and bring it out for you." Lu Youyou smiled and sat quietly on the stool waiting for the shopkeeper.

Within two minutes, the shopkeeper walked out with a large black gift box with a gold ribbon.

Lu Youyou walked over in surprise: "Master, can I send it to see?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Of course, you are the buyer, you must inspect the goods, and I will help you open it." Lu Youyou smiled, in a happy mood. She's really looking forward to what this chessboard will look like.

I saw the shopkeeper gently untie the ribbon on the box, and then gently opened the box. When the contents of the box came into view, Lu Youyou couldn't stop exclaiming: "Wow!

Seeing that Lu Youyou was satisfied, the shopkeeper also smiled with satisfaction: "You said at the beginning that all the good jade was used, but I tried it later, and it would be difficult to find all the black chess pieces if they were all black jade, even if they were reluctant to use jade with a lower price, the effect would not be as good as expected." So I changed it to obsidian without permission. ”

"Obsidian?" Lu Youyou picked up a black chess piece suspiciously and leaned in, the chess piece was cold for sale, but there was an indescribable beauty.

"These you. Lu Youyou hurriedly took out her wallet from her bag, then took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from it and handed it to the boss: "This is the follow-up money, you take it." ”

When the shopkeeper saw so much money, he hurriedly said, "You don't need so much Miss Ye, you have paid the full amount before, you don't need so much, you just need to make up the difference in the price of obsidian." ”

Lu Youyou shook her head: "Boss, you take it, this is what you deserve, even if you have to work hard" After speaking, Lu Youyou took the chessboard and left.

The boss stood at the door with a stack of hundred-dollar bills, stunned.

When she returned home, Ling Zhaoting had already returned, and her boxes hurriedly rushed to buckle, afraid that the old man would see her gift in advance.

Ling Zhaoting looked at her with a puzzled expression, and when he saw her go upstairs, he followed her upstairs.

When he opened the door in the room, Ling Zhaoting saw Lu Youyou fiddling with something in front of the closet, and he asked, "What are you hiding?" He walked over to see what Lu Youyou was hiding, and he saw her holding a black gift box just now.

"It's nothing, it's just a birthday gift I prepared for grandpa, you can't be lazy! I'm going to give it to grandpa myself at tomorrow's birthday party!" she closed her closet and said with a warning face, not wanting Ling Zhaoting to sneak a look.

Ling Zhaoting shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, why don't you tell me if you have prepared a gift, and I will prepare it for you." At first, he was afraid that Lu Youyou didn't know what to prepare, so he specially asked someone to buy a piece of jadeite at a high price from overseas Chinese collectors who knew it, and planned to give it to Lu Youyou as a gift to the old man.

But now it seems that she is also worrying, how could her stupid girl not know how to prepare?

"Someone is going to send something in a moment, you can sign it for me. I'm going to go to the study and take care of something. Ling Zhaoting said with a faint smile.

Lu Youyou frowned, and just wanted to ask Ling Zhaoting what it was, when she saw one of Ling Zhaoting's documents and left the room.

She sighed, turned her head to look at the closet behind her, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.

After a while, just as Lu Youyou was discussing tomorrow's dishes with the housekeeper, someone knew that the maid came over: "Housekeeper, young grandmother, there is someone outside who said that it was a courier, and it was the young master's thing." ”

"Oh, I know, Zhao Ting told me, you take me. She put down the menu and went out with the maid.

When Lu Youyou almost laughed when she saw the delivery person, she looked at Bai Shaoting and said with some tears and laughter: "Mr. Bai, why don't you go in, I thought it was really a courier." ”

Bai Shaoting complained dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I want to, it's not Ling Zhaoting's thing, you have to let me pick it up, and let me send it to the door!"

Lu Youyou snorted and laughed: "What is this, Zhao Ting didn't tell me." ”

Bai Shaoting raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Ling Zhaoting didn't tell you?"

Lu Youyou nodded, she was indeed a little curious, she didn't want to know much about what it was at first, but now that she saw Bai Shaoting personally send it, she really wanted to know.

Bai Shaoting stretched out his hand and lifted the box and handed it to Lu Youyou: "Take a look for yourself." ”

Lu Youyou opened the box suspiciously, and when she saw that it was a piece of turquoise jadeite inside, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise: "Jade?"

Bai Shaoting nodded: "He turned it into someone to buy it from a collector in the United States, it should be a gift for the old man, you take it first, my company still has some things, so I will leave first." ”

Lu Youyou nodded, and watched Bai Shaoting leave before she entered the house with the box.

As soon as she entered, thinking that this might be a gift from Ling Zhaoting to the old man, she was afraid that the old man would see it now, so she hurriedly ran to Ling Zhaoting's study with the box.

"Knock knock knock. Lu Youyou knocked on the door with some difficulty, holding the jade with one hand.

"Come in. When he heard Ling Zhaoting's voice, Lu Youyou opened the door and walked in, and as soon as he entered, he directly put the jade in his hand in front of Ling Zhaoting.

"I received what you said, it was personally sent by Mr. Bai, and you are a birthday gift for your grandfather?" she asked.

Ling Zhaoting shook his head: "This is for you." ”

"Me?" Lu Youyou looked at him with a confused expression.

Ling Zhaoting smiled: "Didn't you say that I didn't tell your grandfather's birthday?" I was afraid that you wouldn't have time to prepare, so I thought of a gift for you first, but since you have already prepared, then this should be regarded as a gift from me to grandpa." ”

"Uh, okay......" She swallowed as she looked down at the jade on the table.

Although the chessboard she bought was said to be made of jade, the total price was only tens of thousands of yuan, and Ling Zhaoting's case, according to the color of this jade, was at least hundreds of thousands! Moreover, since it was bought in the hands of collectors, it should be more than this price, after all, no collector would collect things with very low prices.

Moreover, this is a collector's collection, and there should be room for appreciation in the future. That chessboard of your own......

In comparison, it seems that it is really impossible to take it.

"Well, where is this now? Is it going to be sent to the bank? Or is it going to be put in a safe?"

"No, just leave it at home, and give it to the old man tomorrow, where is the grandfather. Ling Zhaoting said lightly, as if this green stone was not worth hundreds of thousands.

Lu Youyou frowned: "Then you put it in the safe put by the secretary first, and then take it out to grandpa tomorrow." ”

Ling Zhaoting nodded, and then picked up the box and put it in the safe.

The next day, because of the old man's birthday, the Ling family was on holiday, and Lu Youyou and Ling Zhaoting started to prepare in the house early in the morning.

It wasn't until almost noon that the entire venue was arranged, and Lu Youyou looked at the arranged venue and felt a little more relaxed. As for Shi Xianyun and Wei Shuqian, they never came out from head to toe, Shi Xianyun left early in the morning, saying that there was something, but Wei Shuqian stayed in the room all the time.

"Let's go eat first, people will come one after another, and you, as the host, can't let others see that you are here to help decorate." ”

Lu Youyou pouted, but she didn't think there was anything, no matter what the reason was, she should make the old man like it even more and believe in her. As for Shi Xianyun and Wei Shuqian, it is best not to contact Ling Zhaoting, at least so that she doesn't have to worry about their true thoughts about Ling Zhaoting telling their identities.

After lunch, Lu Youyou originally wanted to help do something, but was forcibly pulled into the room by Ling Zhaoting to rest, saying that she wanted to have a beauty sleep, and then attend the banquet in the best state at night.

Lu Youyou was helpless, so she had to let him pull her back to the room.

However, Ling Zhaoting didn't let her sleep for long, and woke her up at about three o'clock. Lu Youyou thought she had slept, but when she was about to get up in a panic, she saw several people standing at the door.

"This is?" she looked at Ling Zhaoting together, and Ling Zhaoting smiled: "The banquet is about to start, no makeup?"

"Uh......" She looked at the people at the door, and then looked down at her outfit: "Okay, I'll get up immediately, you let them wait for me in the guest room first." ”

Ling Zhaoting nodded, then turned around and asked those people to wait inside.

Because of this, Lu Youyou didn't dare to delay at all, got up and put on her coat and went to the guest room.

She believed that this should just be a makeup, because she remembered that there were many dresses in her room, which were prepared by Ling Zhaoting.
