Chapter 581
Is this still Chinese?
And those behind who originally felt a bit embarrassed because of Boss Yang's "30-yuan" huge red envelope, at this moment, upon hearing Shen Ci's gift, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in addition to their shock.
The reason is simple: when the gap between you and the other party is large enough, then you don't need to feel inferior.
At least now, when facing Shen Ci's gift, Boss Yang was the same as them.
"My mother!" The old lady came back to her senses and weighed the box in her hand, her teeth trembling with excitement: "Aci, this, this is ten jin of gold? Pure gold?"
"Yes, Auntie, this thing can't be faked." Shen Ci said with a smile.
"Oh my, this, this..." The old lady, who was such a worldly person, felt hot in her hands while holding Shen Ci's generous gift at this moment, and for a while, she didn't know whether to accept it or put it down.
Seeing this, Shen Ci hurriedly said: "This is for Xixi. Bringing it here today is just to pass it through my hands. I have opened a personal safe deposit box for Xixi in the bank in my sister-in-law's name. I will deposit this thing for Xixi later."
"Good, good, it's truly Xixi's blessing to have a little aunt like you." The old lady nodded excitedly again and again, and only then did she take the thing.
When the younger daughter-in-law was registering, she didn't know how to write it: "Mom, how should I register this? Just write ten jin of gold?"
The old lady glared and pointed out: "Wouldn't that look stingy? Write 5000 grams, 5000 is so big!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The younger daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly, curiously glanced at the young and beautiful girl, and asked suspiciously: "Mom, who is this girl? Why is she so generous? Such a heavy gift, it must be worth several hundred, right?"
"This is Xizi's god-sister. Why? Didn't Taozi tell you?"
"No, haven't heard him mention it."
Yan Mu smiled with a happy look: "I'm thinking of adopting her as my god-daughter, so that we can be closer. Since Xizi went in, your sister-in-law has been relying on her help."
"Is that so..." The younger daughter-in-law smiled dryly upon hearing this and didn't answer.
On the other side, Boss Yang pulled Shen Ci to the side with an unhappy face: "You girl, you, you, you, is this right?"
Shen Ci smiled obediently: "Uncle Yang, don't be angry, I'm different from you."
"What's different?"
Shen Ci explained with a smile: "Think about it, my sister-in-law was taken care of by me during the most difficult months of her late pregnancy. Then my feelings for Xixi must be different."
"Then this is also too exaggerated!" Boss Yang stared and gestured: "Ten jin of gold? Listen to it yourself, is this reasonable?"
Shen Ci was amused by his expression and laughed out loud.
"You're still laughing!" Boss Yang glared: "Now you've learned to steal your Uncle Yang's spotlight, right? You should have told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have given this gift in front of you."
Shen Ci looked at him for a long while without saying a word, and finally asked: "I don't think Uncle Yang is someone who would be angry with me because of this little vanity. I think you're jealous, right?"
"Uh..." Boss Yang choked and opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Shen Ci laughed out loud: "You don't need to be jealous. You, go back and work hard with my aunt to have another baby. I guarantee I'll also give the baby a big gift, absolutely not favoring one over the other!"
"You girl, you're really disrespectful, now you dare to say anything!"
Shen Ci reached out and pushed Uncle Yang to walk inside, responding: "Anyway, I do what I say. After all, if you really have a child in your old age, I definitely have to give a gift!"
As soon as the door of the banquet hall opened, the clamor of voices rushed toward them. Shen Ci had guessed that today would be very lively, but she didn't expect it to be this lively.
Uncle Yang's voice followed with a sneer: "Hmph, this is because Xizi was sentenced. Everyone knows he'll be out in five or six years, so many people have taken the initiative to pounce on him again."
Shen Ci didn't care about this. Human nature is like this, no need to be serious.
As soon as the two appeared, many people took the initiative to cling to them to say hello. Shen Ci's accumulation in Longcheng this year had already made many people know her. Now that she was entering and leaving such occasions, she naturally wouldn't be treated poorly.
She handled this scene with ease, but this scene fell into the eyes of Yan Wentao not far away.
He was in a suit, rarely dressing himself up like a human, holding a glass of wine and staring straight at Shen Ci. At this moment, Shen Ci was chatting with her old friend Lu Jinzhao.
"President Yan, what are you looking at?"
Someone on the side asked curiously upon seeing this.
Yan Wenxi had given his younger brother a nominal position in the company, so he had the title of "President Yan" which sounded good when spoken out. In fact, he was just eating empty pay, occupying shares in Yan Wenxi's group and taking wages for free. As an older brother, it could be considered that he was willing to support him.
Yan Wentao curled his lips and laughed, raising his eyebrows at Shen Ci: "That one, do you know her?"
Upon hearing this, the person looked over and said after just one glance: "Isn't that Miss Shen?"
"You really know her?" Yan Wentao was a bit surprised.
Then he heard the person on the side nod and say: "Can't say I know her, but I have seen her several times on different occasions."
In Yan Wentao's eyes, Shen Ci was just a very beautiful college student in her twenties. He had never thought she would have any other identity.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be a bit surprised: "Then her connections are quite wide. I see many people taking the initiative to say hello to her."
Shen Ci was chatting with Lu Jinzhao about next year's cooperation project. After all, this year's "Destiny as Phoenix" was a big hit. Whether it was for Lu Jinzhao's company or Shen Ci, the biggest investor, both had made a fortune.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Shen Ci clearly felt that a gaze had been staring at her from a certain position, so she turned her head subconsciously and looked over, just meeting Yan Wentao's gaze that didn't dodge at all.
Seeing Shen Ci look over, he even raised his glass with a smile and said hello to her.
Shen Ci naturally wouldn't give him any good looks, rolled her eyes, and turned her head away.
A rogue like Yan Wentao naturally wouldn't be angry because of such a thing and drank the wine on his own.
At this time, his wife Lin Shuang suddenly came to the front. Seeing this, Yan Wentao frowned: "You're not registering gift money at the door, what are you doing running in?"
"Sister-in-law is here, said no need to register, let me come in and rest for a while."
"Tsk." Yan Wentao smacked his lips in dissatisfaction: "Doing registration is the rule, why is there no need to register?"
Lin Shuang pulled the impatient Yan Wentao to the side and lowered her voice: "It's all about the same. Boss Yang gave the most, gave '30', and there's also an older brother's god-sister, brought a longevity lock for Xixi..."
Before Lin Shuang could finish, Yan Wentao said: "What's so strange about that thing, at most a few yuan."
Lin Shuang stretched out a hand, opened her five fingers wide, and shook them in front of Yan Wentao.
Yan Wentao pushed her away: "Five yuan is five yuan, it's not that expensive. On the contrary, this Boss Yang really treats my brother as a friend!"
Lin Shuang gripped Yan Wentao's wrist tightly and gritted her teeth: "Five thousand grams!"
