Chapter 824

Lu Zhenghong said, "She practices it too, but she gets up a little later because she watches TV dramas late into the night."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, not long after, Song Qiaoli also came out and started practicing the Five Animal Exercises. She said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, this set of Five Animal Exercises you taught is really good, much more reliable than those so-called Qigong. I've told all my colleagues to practice this set of Five Animal Exercises."

Su Xinghui said, "Aunt Song, that's good. As long as you practice every day, your body will definitely get better and better."

After breakfast, Lu Xiaoya pulled Su Xinghui into her room and asked, "By the way, Xinghui, have you prepared the birthday gift for Professor Qin? Do you need to go buy it now?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "No need, I've already prepared it."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then show it to me."

Su Xinghui took a long box containing a scroll from his bag, took out the scroll, and handed it to Lu Xiaoya. Lu Xiaoya opened it and saw that it was a painting Su Xinghui had done. She looked at it for a while and nodded, "Mm, this painting is well done."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Is this birthday gift presentable enough?"

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Of course it's presentable. You are now a member of the Provincial Artists Association and a famous young painter; one painting can sell for ten or twenty thousand. I'll have face going with you."

Su Xinghui laughed, "I hear a hint of sarcasm in your words."

Lu Xiaoya covered her mouth and smiled, "How would I dare to mock you? Alright, let's stop joking. Hurry up and put the painting away; it won't look good if it gets dirty and you take it out at the banquet."

Su Xinghui nodded and carefully put the painting away.

Around eleven o'clock, the two went out together, hailed a taxi, and went to the Bai Meigui Hotel. Today, Professor Qin's sixtieth birthday banquet is being held here.

Not long after, the taxi arrived at the Bai Meigui Hotel. The two got out of the car and entered the hotel lobby. A waiter came forward to greet them. Su Xinghui asked, "Is Professor Qin's sixtieth birthday banquet from Jiangcheng University being held here?"

The waiter nodded politely and said, "Yes, it's being held in our West Hall. I'll take you there."

The waiter took the two to the West Hall. At this time, many people had already arrived, and the hall was packed. A banner was hanging on the hall door—Professor Qin Jie's Sixtieth Birthday.
