Chapter 473: One Person’s Sincerity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Xuan resolutely turned off the half-busy work on his computer. “You shouldn’t have said such a big thing so slowly. You insisted on waiting for me to finish asking you one question at a time.”
“I actually wanted to say it directly when I pushed the door open just now, but didn’t you tell me to knock when I came in? You even told me to stay calm no matter what happened.”
Faced with Zhou Xuan’s accusation, He Sheng felt as aggrieved as a bullied little wife. “That’s why I had no choice but to close the door and come in again. Then, I tried my best to remain calm and talk about this matter. That’s why I was delayed.”
He Sheng’s words caught Zhou Xuan between laughter and tears. For a moment, he didn’t know what to retort.
Zhou Xuan glanced at He Sheng. “The next time something as big as this happens, don’t knock on the door anymore. Open the door and tell me immediately. No matter what, I can’t be later than Yang Shuo.”
“I understand, President Zhou. I’ll definitely do it next time!” He Sheng nodded. “President Zhou, are you turning off your computer to prepare to go out?”
“What else? You’ve already told me about this. Do you think I can still sit still? If I can still sit in the office calmly, the sun will really rise from the west.”
Zhou Xuan was a little impatient like now. “Or do you want me to see Shan Yue holding the flowers that Yang Shuo sent over and read the words on the greeting card? Wouldn’t that make me feel even worse?”
“I knew you had this plan, so before I came to the office, I had already instructed my subordinates to drive the car to the entrance of the company. I’m just waiting for you to go down.”
He Sheng immediately came over. “On this day, President Shan should still be in school. Cla.s.s will only end at noon. There are less than two hours before her cla.s.s ends, so we still have time to prepare.”
“Go to the best flower shop in the Federation’s Central City immediately and buy 99 tulips. You must wrap them carefully. Don’t be as childish as young people in love. Shan Yue won’t like it. Be more magnanimous and mature.”
Zhou Xuan picked up the phone on the table and was about to go downstairs. As he waited for the elevator, he said, “Put another bottle of the limited edition perfume I bought last time inside. Remember to pick a fresh and elegant smell.”
“But—”
“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
He Sheng probed, “Then why are we giving tulips instead of roses? Don’t young couples like to give roses to express their love for each other? Moreover, red is a symbol of festivity.”
“Yang Shuo will definitely know what we all know. That’s why I bet that he’s giving her roses. If we give this too, there won’t be any difference. Then who will Shan Yue accept?”
Zhou Xuan walked into the elevator and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the first floor. “Besides, didn’t you just say that Yang Shuo asked the flower shop to send it over? This is where the gap between us can be widened. This kind of thing depends on a person’s sincerity. If someone has to send it, I’ll send it personally. I definitely won’t choose to send it on my behalf.”
After hearing Zhou Xuan’s words, He Sheng was enlightened and realized that he had indeed not thought about many things.
As the elevator slowly descended, the door opened and Zhou Xuan was already standing in the lobby on the first floor. “I’ll go straight to the entrance of the Capital University and wait. You must send the flowers to me within these two hours.”
“No problem, President Zhou. Leave this small matter to me. I’ll be back in an hour.”
With that, He Sheng stopped following Zhou Xuan. Instead, he ran towards the garage and drove to the flower shop.
Just like that, Zhou Xuan sat in the Maybach waiting for him at the entrance of the company. As he got closer and closer to Capital University, he calmed down and parked the car in an inconspicuous spot at the entrance.
As expected, not long after they arrived at the school gate, Zhou Xuan saw a middle-aged woman riding an electric scooter with a large bouquet of roses.
After placing the roses at the temporary courier station at the school gate, the woman took out her phone and sent a message before leaving. It was obvious that she was the person Yang Shuo had asked to send the bouquet.
The truth was exactly as Zhou Xuan had guessed. Yang Shuo had sent roses..
