Chapter 016: Prepare a surprise for Xia Ou
Today is an ordinary day for millions of people, just one Saturday.
But for Zhao Yu, it is of great significance, because today is the birthday of his wife Xia Ou.
But Xia Ou's birthday and her grandfather's death day were only one day apart, shrouded in a sad atmosphere, and no one had the heart to celebrate her birthday happily anymore, and over time, even she forgot about herself.
The birthday once a year has become a day as plain as water.
However, there is one person who has not forgotten, and that is Zhao Yu.
Over the years, he has been grateful to Xia Ou for his silent dedication, and for herself, she doesn't know how much humiliation and white eyes she has endured.
It's hateful that she is useless, a complete wreck, a poor bastard, but she can't give her any happiness.
In previous years, when he had a birthday, Zhao Yu would give Xia Ou a cake with words written on it with cream, more than 200 pieces, and the price was not very expensive.
But this year's situation is different, today's Zhao Yu is no longer what it used to be, now he is the heir of a 100 billion inheritance, in a few days, after completing the formalities, he will be officially promoted to the richest man in the southern capital!
Therefore, on this birthday this year, Zhao Yu is ready to give Xia Ou a big surprise, so that she can have a good memory that will last a lifetime!
Soon, Zhao Yu rode a small electric donkey to the Zhongshan Road business district, which is the most prosperous area in the city center, with all kinds of luxury brands and well-known businesses. He's going to take a stroll around here first, pick up a few gifts, and see if he's inspired.
However, Zhao Yu is not a romantic person after all, he doesn't know how to please girls, and he doesn't know what Xia Ou likes.
How should she spend this birthday today, so that she will like it?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu was simply heartbroken.
Give the ring, what if she doesn't like it?
Lipstick, that's too corny?
Perfumes, bags, cosmetics and the like? That's even more vulgar!
If you are the richest man in Nandu, then Xia Ou will be the first lady of the richest man in Nandu and will become the object of admiration of all women, so you must give her a unique birthday gift!
Just when Zhao Yu racked his brains and meditated hard and had no answer, as soon as he raised his head, a towering and majestic skyscraper in front of him caught his attention.
This is the headquarters of Citibank in Huaxia, and it is the first international financial building designed and built by a foreign financial group, with a height of 206 meters, with a bird's-eye view of the whole city, in the core area of the entire business district, and is also a landmark building in Nandu.
Of course, it is most famous for the large LED screen outside the building, whenever the night falls, the lights are on, after the screen is lit, the whole building will be shrouded in dazzling brilliance, such a location, two hundred meters high giant LED advertising screen, shining and broadcasting all night, it is really amazing!
It is said that when a director named Zhou Xingxing came here to promote the new film "Mermaid", he once rented this place, and the price of just one hour was as high as 300,000 yuan, which is a sky-high price of gold!
Also, you must make a reservation at least half a year in advance!
At this time, Zhao Yu turned around, and then looked to the side, next to the Citi Building is a moat, sparkling, passing through the city, if you can take a cruise at night, boating on the river, blowing the gentle evening breeze, when it is very comfortable, the giant LED screen lights up, and the whole building is full of light, which must be very romantic.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu suddenly had a bold idea!
"Xia Ou, I swear, after tonight, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world!"
Immediately, Zhao Yu took out his mobile phone and called Fu Bo.
"Hey, Fauber, I have something I want to trouble you......"
After listening to Zhao Yu's thoughts, Fu Bo smiled: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the little young master to be a romantic person!" Don't worry, only the enterprises in Nandu have more or less cooperation with our Zhao Group, and the land under Citibank is rented by our family, so I will call them immediately......"
Fifteen minutes later, in a high-end café on Zhongshan Road, many people came opposite Zhao Yu, including the manager of Citibank, the CEO of the advertising agency, and the person in charge of the cruise ship and the fireworks company.
After discussing some specific details, Zhao Yu took out a check for one million that had just been exchanged, handed it to him, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, money is not a problem, as long as you do what I say, after the deed is done, I will be rewarded!" ”
"In addition, I need more than 10,000 roses and balloons, all of which must be prepared for me by eight o'clock tonight."
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they made records as required and agreed.
After Zhao Yu left, they began to discuss:
"Hey, Mr. Ma, who is this young man, why is he so generous?"
"Yes, I've heard that the LED screen outside Citibank has to be booked at least half a year in advance, and the recent itinerary has been full. But unexpectedly, after the young man finished speaking, the manager of Citibank didn't even dare to fart, and hurriedly ran to prepare. ”
At this time, an old man with a graying beard in the crowd spoke: "You fools, don't think about it, who called us over?" Fauber personally called, who do you say he is? Who else has such a big face! ”
"Huh?!" Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and an incredible expression appeared on their faces.
"Is he the ......?"
"Shhh Let's hurry up and prepare, it's not a few hours until 8 p.m.! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Everyone nodded their heads and ran out of the café.
……
At this time, the company is downstairs.
After explaining everything, Zhao Yu rode a small electric donkey easily and waited for Xia Ou to get off work.
Xia Ou is a salesperson in the business department of an insurance company, not only is she usually busy, but also uses the weekend time to meet customers and discuss business, so at this time, she is always very irritable when she has to work overtime, and she feels that nothing is pleasing to the eye.
However, today is an exception, after going downstairs, Xia Ou was obviously in a good mood, and even chatted with Zhao Yu a lot more.
"What's the matter, so happy today?"
"Hahaha, you don't know yet, do you? As for the obscene manager of our department, Huang Dafu, this morning, he was taken away by the police on suspicion of sexual harassment! Not only that, but when he was taken away, many female colleagues in the company ran out to report him, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out for ten days and half a month after going in this time! And I also heard that the company's leaders took it very seriously and decided to fire him! Xia Ou said happily.
Don't think about it, this must be the credit of Fauber.
"It's just that I'm worried about what will happen if he comes out and retaliates against us......" Xia Ou frowned as he spoke.
"Hahaha, don't worry, he won't come out again in his life!" Zhao Yu patted his chest and smiled happily.
He said in his heart, Huang Dafu, you offended me, and you still want to come out? It's good that I didn't let you disappear in Nandu!
"Ah, what?" Xia Ou looked at him and was even more puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing, I mean people like him should be investigated for a few more crimes, the law is fair, let him stay in it!" Zhao Yu hurriedly explained.
"Well, hopefully, I hope so!" Xia Ou nodded.
At this time, seeing that Xia Ou was in a good mood, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to say: "You see that you have encountered such a happy thing, do we want to celebrate tonight?" Why don't I take you to Zhongshan Road for dinner, I know there is a restaurant that tastes pretty good. ”
But Xia Ou didn't guess what he meant, and shook his head: "Forget it, go to my mother's house." Tomorrow Sunday is my grandfather's death day, and I have to go to the countryside early in the morning, so I have a lot to prepare. ”
Zhao Yu scolded in his heart, hey, this stupid girl, why don't you open up?
But he couldn't help it, so he nodded and said disappointedly: "Alas, okay." ”
It seems that he can only find another way to find an opportunity to deceive Xia Ou!
When I arrived at my mother-in-law's house, as soon as I opened the door, the family of three was in full swing, Zhang Caifeng was busy cooking in the kitchen, Xia Jianming was wiping the table and cleaning, and even Xia Lu was called back and peeled the fruit.
"Mom, what's wrong, are we cleaning up today?" Xia Ou asked inexplicably, and then she went into the kitchen, "Wow, my God, it's fish, meat, and crabs and lobsters, it's better than eating for the New Year!" Our family celebrates the New Year today? ”
"Silly girl, it's your birthday!" Zhang Caifeng glanced at her and poked her head with her finger.
"Oh, Mom, you still remember, look at my brain, I'm almost busy and forget!" Xia Ou excitedly went up and hugged him.
"Isn't this nonsense? You were born to your mother, how could your mother forget? ”
"Okay, come over and help me get that fish, and we'll have dinner later!" As he spoke, Zhang Caifeng looked at Zhao Yu and said coldly:
"Hey, who is that, tomorrow Xia Ou's grandfather will die on her death day, you don't have to go. I have no one at home, no one to take care of Chubby, so you can stay and help. ”
Chubby is a cat raised at home.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Let's prepare cat food and cat litter drinking water for Chubby before we go out, isn't it okay? Moreover, we just went for one day and came back in the evening, do we need to let Zhao Yu stay and take care of it? Besides, he's our son-in-law, who will go if he doesn't go? Hearing this, Xia Ou said unevenly.
"Hehe, son-in-law? I've never been a man of his! ”
Zhang Caifeng did not shy away from it, and shouted angrily in front of Zhao Yu:
"Xiaoou, do you know what kind of boyfriends your uncle's two daughters have found? One is a doctor, the other is a lawyer, and the future is bright, but what about our family? Do you still want this wretch to go out and embarrass me? ”
"But, but even so, didn't Zhao Yu go with us last year?"
"Last year was last year, this year is different! Xiao Jia said, I'm afraid that we will work too hard to buy vegetables and cook, so tomorrow after going to your grandfather's grave to worship incense, come back and go to a famous chef to book a big box for us, set up five or six tables, and then take your uncle and them all, let's have a meal in the hotel! In this way, I can save trouble, and the banquet money is also saved, hehehe......" As he spoke, Zhang Caifeng's heart couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Jia, which Xiao Jia? Qian Xiaojia? Mom, how did you get together with him! Hearing this, Xia Ou finally understood, it turned out that all this was done by Qian Xiaojia behind him!
"People gave me so many expensive gifts, and I ran to say hello to them, what's wrong?" Zhang Caifeng muttered as she touched a newly worn jade bracelet on her wrist.
Xia Ou was even more angry when he saw this: "You, Mom, why did you even accept other people's gifts?" Hey, take other people's hands short, eat other people's mouths short, you said you let me say what is good about you! ”
As she spoke, she was anxious: "No, if Zhao Yu doesn't go, I won't go tomorrow, he is my husband!" ”
"Nonsense, he can go as an outsider or not, but that's your grandfather, I've hurt you for so many years, you white-eyed wolf!" Zhang Caifeng also shouted angrily.
Just when the mother and daughter had a heated argument, the doorbell rang.
Zhao Yu was the closest, and he was just about to open the door, but he was pushed aside by Zhang Caifeng, who rushed out of the kitchen.
"It must be Gui Shao who is here, I'll open it, I'll open it!" She shouted excitedly.
Immediately, she glanced at Zhao Yu again, "Hey, why are you standing here and making a mess, there are guests coming, why don't you go wash the fruit quickly!" ”
The door opened, and Qian Xiaojia stood outside in a brand-name suit, dressed brightly.
In his hand, he also carried a large stack of beautifully packaged gifts.
Hello, aunt!
"Xiao Jia is here, come in and sit, come in and sit!" Zhang Caifeng's face was wrinkled with a smile, as if Qian Xiaojia was her son-in-law.
"Hey, I just gave a gift yesterday, and today is a generous gift, Xiaojia, you are really too polite!"
Qian Xiaojia waved her hand, looked at Xia Ou, and said with a smile: "It's okay aunt, mainly because I heard that Xia Ou has a birthday today, and I came to see her." ”
