Everyone took out their gifts one after another, some were clothes, some were school supplies, and some were toys.
From Lin Chuan's point of view, his gift might be a bit hard to come by.
Because his gift is really a bit expensive, it would be a bit showy if he took it out.
But Xiao Wen had to look at Lin Chuan.
"Kawako, just watch, where is your gift?"
Lin Chuan said with some embarrassment: "I haven't prepared anything, I'll just give my eldest niece some pocket money!"
But Xiao Wen said reluctantly: "Don't come here. I saw you bringing something. Shumin, where did you put that thing? I have to see what gift this guy bought today!"
Zou Shumin didn't think much and immediately went to the bedroom to take out the bag.
Xiao Wen grabbed it and felt that the gift was quite heavy. Then she opened the bag and looked inside, and her eyes widened instantly.
"Hey, what is this? A walkman recorder, right?"
Lin Chuan said hurriedly: "It's nothing, let my eldest niece go back to the house and take a look!"
But his efforts to stop it were of no use, Xiao Wen had already opened the box.
When the Walkman was presented in front of everyone's eyes like a rare treasure, everyone must have opened their mouths in shock.
Especially wishes.
Her eyes widened in shock, not believing that this was really the Walkman she had dreamed of.
Even this little girl was so excited that she burst into tears.
He carefully took the tape recorder and immediately jumped up with joy.
"This is really a Walkman. Oh my god, I love it so much. There is a rich man's daughter in our school who has a Walkman. I also have a Walkman now. Isn't this just a dream?"
Xiao Wen said excitedly: "Look, there are so many tapes and batteries. You just know that you like them, so why don't you thank uncle?"
Zhu Weisheng snatched the bag and saw that the tapes inside were all current popular songs, which made her even more excited.
He jumped up and down and shouted: "Thank you uncle for giving me the gift, thank you uncle for giving me the gift!"
When Lin Chuan saw it, he took it out even if he didn't take it out. He could only say with a smile: "As long as you like it, you must study hard in the future!"
"Thank you uncle, I will remember it!"
At this moment, Meng Yuelin saw the Walkman and immediately asked: "Lin Chuan, this tape recorder is not cheap, how much did it cost?"
Lin Chuan was embarrassed to say it, so he scratched the back of his head and smiled calmly: "It's not much money. Besides, you don't care how much it is, as long as the child likes it!"
But Meng Yuelin's female classmate said: "I have seen this Walkman in the mall. It is imported. It seems to be 750 units!"
"What? So expensive?"
Meng Yuelin's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
Her monthly salary is only 50 yuan, which is a year's salary without food or water.
And how could she take such a valuable thing from someone else because of her friendship with Lin Chuan?
She hurriedly turned around and said to Zhu Zhu: "Zhu Zhu, this gift is too valuable. You can't take it from my uncle. Return it to your uncle quickly!"
The wish must be reluctant.
Seeing the wealthy daughter in school wearing a Walkman, she dreamed of having one herself.
But dreams can only be dreams, she cannot have them.
Because her mother is just an ordinary employee in the management department, and her father is just an ordinary worker.
Their combined salary is less than one hundred yuan.
The monthly tuition fees, book fees, living expenses, etc. all add up, and there is nothing left. How can you afford such an expensive Walkman?
Now I finally got this Walkman that I have always wanted in my dreams, but I can’t have it. I am so sad that I cried.
But she still lifted the Walkman up reluctantly.
Just when Meng Yuelin was about to reach out to pick it up, Lin Chuan spoke.
"No, Sister Meng, what do you mean by this? You look down on me, right? You are all educated and knowledgeable people, I am just an uneducated upstart, a boss full of copper odor.
You are slapping me in the face. Gifts are given to others to make people feel happy. Whether it is 750 or 7.5, it all comes from your heart.
Is a person's heart still valuable? If you don't let your children take it, you don't treat me as a friend. I'm quite happy to have a birthday party. Okay, I'll take my leave first, Shumin.
Where is my coat?"
These words made Meng Yuelin blush.
Seeing Lin Chuan about to leave, Meng Yuelin said with a sad face: "Chuanzi, what are you talking about? Who doesn't treat you as a friend? Don't I just think this gift is too expensive?
Isn’t it a waste for a child to use such a good thing?”
Lin Chuan actually didn't want to leave, he just wanted to let everyone know through these words that a gift is a gift, and don't think he is showing off.
This is the philosophy of dealing with people, don't make people hate you wherever you go.
He then said calmly: "Which child doesn't like these? My daughter also likes them, so let them have them. It's worth all the money in order not to leave any regrets for the children!"
Meng Yuelin also felt guilty and said hurriedly: "Okay, I listen to you, why don't I accept it? I'm really convinced by your words. Hurry up, get the table and eat!"
The Walkman was still given to me with wishes.
The happy little girl kissed the Walkman hard, ran back to the room, read the manual and listened to the music.
After this incident, everyone had a particularly good impression of Lin Chuan.
They have seen a lot of rich people, but people as approachable as Lin Chuan are really rare.
The birthday song was sung, the birthday cake was cut, and the dinner officially began.
Everyone took turns toasting to Lin Chuan, and there was much talk of making friends.
But Lin Chuan only drank beer, not even a sip of liquor.
Zhu Jialong thought that Lin Chuan thought his wine was not good, so he took out all the liquor he had collected for many years.
"This bottle of wine was given to me as a reward when our factory was rated as advanced in the first few years. I have never been willing to open it. I am happy today, so I drank it. Kawako, you have to drink two glasses today no matter what!
"
However, no matter how good the liquor is, Lin Chuan will not drink it.
The oath he made himself must never be broken.
"Actually, I also want to drink, but I told my wife that I will never drink liquor outside. A man must keep his word, otherwise why would he be called a man? I can drink some beer with everyone, forget the liquor!"
Xiao Wen was so moved that she nodded and praised: "Look at Chuanzi, this is so good!"
"Yes, only a man who can restrain himself can achieve a great career!"
"Lao Zhu, you'd better keep your wine, let's just drink beer today!"
After a few glasses of wine, Meng Yuelin's female classmate named Jingyan raised a glass to Linchuan alone.
"Kawako, I also work in a private company, and now I'm a department employee. I came here with this glass of wine to toast you, and secondly, I want to beg you to help me!"
