Chapter 367: Preparing the Birthday Present
Xia Zijian’s voice sounded, “Su Yan, I just wanted to inform you that the flight to Xiang City has been booked. The flight is at four o’clock in the afternoon in three days. What do you think of the time? If it’s not possible, I’ll ask my secretary to change the booking.”
Su Yan said, “The time is just right. Let’s meet at the airport in three days.”
Xia Zijian said, “Let’s meet at the villa. I’ll pick you up then. We’ll be together anyway.”
Su Yan thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright then. I’ll have to trouble Young Master Xia then.”
Xia Zijian smiled and said, “You’re too polite. It’s my honor to be able to pick you up. We can have a meal together then.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan thought of giving Xia Jiang a birthday present. It was his sixty-sixth birthday, and it was once in a lifetime. Moreover, with Xia Jiang’s status, giving ordinary things would definitely not work. However, she had already left this matter to Wang Xiaoxue to worry about.
Just as Su Yan thought of Wang Xiaoxue, Wang Xiaoxue called her, so she stood up again. “Xiaoxue?”
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoxue said, “President Su, I have already prepared the birthday present for Xia Jiang. Now, I will send the birthday present to you to have a look. If you don’t think it will work, then I will immediately look for other things.”
Hearing her words, Su Yan immediately opened the chat app and looked at it. It was an exquisite small gift box with a jade handle, and beside it was a certificate issued by an authoritative appraisal agency.
Su Yan said with satisfaction, “Mm, this thing will definitely be liked by older people. You’ve done well. It’s been hard on you.”
…
Wang Xiaoxue smiled, “It’s my responsibility to help President Su. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get busy first.”
Su Yan hurriedly said, “Come over later. Wei Zhou stayed here last night and left his watch with me. Go to Excellent Era Corporation Corporation on my behalf and give the watch to Li Rong.”
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoxue froze. She quickly came back to her senses and said with a long voice, “Okay President Su, but wouldn’t it be better if you returned it in person?”
Hearing the meaning she was implying, Su Yan laughed in anger. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. This isn’t what you think. If he didn’t have a high fever and faint last night, I wouldn’t have let him stay here for a night.”
It would have been better if she didn’t explain. The more she explained, the more Wang Xiaoxue felt that there was something wrong with this. She even started to imagine the scene from last night, but she replied, “I’m not, I’m not imagining anything. I’m really not imagining anything…”
In reality, she had many questions. If Wei Zhou had a high fever, why didn’t he go to the hospital for an injection? Why did he appear in Su Yan’s villa instead? Even if he didn’t go to the hospital, he could at least go to a hotel and get a room. Could it be because he had a high fever, so he wanted to spend the night at her boss’s house?

Excellent Era Corporation’s CEO’s office.
Li Rong knocked on the door, and Wei Zhou’s voice sounded, “Come in!”
Li Rong pushed the door open and entered. She saw the man sitting upright in the boss’s chair. Even though he was sick, he was still wearing a black suit. However, there was a cold aura coming from his body. Wei Zhou’s complexion was much better than before. Sure enough, Su Yan was this man’s best medicine. Just now, when Wang Xiaoxue came to look for her to give her a watch, she had been showing her attitude. She had even scolded Wei Zhou for being shameless and using his fever as an excuse to stay over at Su Yan’s house. When she heard these words, not only did she not get angry, but instead, she began to imagine the various scenes in Su Yan’s villa last night.
Li Rong handed the watch to Wei Zhou and said, “Miss Su asked Secretary Wang to send this over. She said that you left it at Miss Su’s house last night.”
Looking at the watch on the table, Wei Zhou’s eyes twitched. He reached out to take the watch and looked at it carefully. With a sullen expression, he used his thumb to touch the dial. Last night, after he went to the second bedroom to sleep, he had sweated a lot because of taking medicine, so he took off the watch and put it next to the pillow. When he woke up this morning, he was a little absent-minded. He heard that Su Yan had come down from upstairs, so he forgot about the watch. If Li Rong had not brought it to him, he wouldn’t remember it until now.
Even if he didn’t remember it, he would remember it when he went home to take a shower at night. Then, he could go to Su Yan’s place to get it tomorrow. However, Su Yan had someone send the watch over. It was obvious that she didn’t want him to go anymore. Thinking of this, Wei Zhou’s eyes dimmed and his expression turned ugly.
..
The days weren’t easy. In the blink of an eye, it was Xia Jiang’s 66th birthday. After Su Yan was dressed, she heard Xia Zijian’s car honking outside the courtyard. She knew that it was time to set off.
Su Yan walked to the courtyard entrance. “Young Master Xia, you’re really early.”
