However, Lu Chixiao had to go to Kyoto to report on his work first. The trophies negotiated in the shipwreck salvage contract had to be handed over to the national archaeological team. Then he talked to the leaders at the headquarters about "staying on duty without pay". It was already his birthday when he returned to the fjord.
’s night.
According to local custom, birthday meals are usually held at noon. It will not be moved to the evening just because one person cannot make it. After all, relatives and friends have been invited several days in advance, and the chef and dishes are also prepared for noon.
Therefore, although the birthday is not completely over, the ceremony is over.
"Brother Xiao, punish yourself with three drinks! You almost missed my sister-in-law's birthday, you can come a few hours later." Mr. Fu saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, holding a bottle of wine and making noise.
"How can three cups be enough to show sincerity? Three more cups will be enough!" Lu Chilin said with a wicked smile.
"You're all ready to add insult to injury, aren't you?" Lu Chixiao raised his handsome eyebrows and glanced at this group of plastic and inexperienced brothers.
Li Tao quickly raised his hand to express his position: "I don't! Brother Xiao, I am from your country."
"You traitor!" Mr. Fu was so angry that he kicked him, "How did we discuss it last night? Ah? You turned around and sold your brother, you're a profiteer!"
Li Tao spread his hands and gave a helpless expression.
There was nothing he could do. The gem wholesaler he met in Sri Lanka was introduced to him by Brother Xiao. Not to mention that he was from the same country as Brother Xiao, even if he was asked to call Brother Xiao daddy, he would have to recognize him.
Mr. Fu and Lu Chilin looked at each other, and they approached Lu Chixiao one from the left and the other from the right.
"Brother Xiao, if you want to sit next to your sister-in-law as soon as possible, just drink these cups."
"It's just that I didn't see my sister-in-law looking at you. If you don't drink, it means you don't want to sit next to her earlier. Could it be that you went to Sri Lanka... so what..."
"Hehehehehe..."
Lu Chixiao glanced at these two guys speechlessly: "Aren't you two planning to go on business trips in the future?"
"Come on! But we won't go home for so long, right? Brother Lin?" Mr. Fu turned to ask Lu Chilin, who had formed a temporary alliance.
Lu Chilin nodded, meaning: "Yes, at least I won't almost miss my wife's entire birthday."
Lu Chixiao laughed helplessly: "You think I do?"
"That's not true. I heard from Taozi that you are very popular in Sri Lanka. On the first day you arrived, they even held a state banquet for you, with exotic beauties dancing around you and toasting you. How did it feel?
"
On the first day after arriving in Sri Lanka, the host indeed hosted a banquet for them. As a member of his entourage, Li Tao enjoyed an exotic state banquet with him.
During the banquet, there were indeed dancers dancing around them, and they even gave them drinks afterward. This apparently normal scene seemed to change when it fell into the mouths of these idiots.
Lu Chixiao glanced deeply at Li Tao: If this guy lives in the martial arts arena, he will definitely die from talking too much.
Li Tao was attacked by a wave of looks, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down in front of Brother Xiao.
"Brother Xiao, I swear I didn't add any extravagance! I told them that I had a state banquet on the day I arrived. This was my first experience with a state banquet, so I went into more detail. It was them who deliberately caused trouble..."
Fu Zhengyang and Lu Chilin, the trouble-making duo, looked at each other while holding back their laughter and almost broke out in laughter.
Lu Chilin put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders and led him towards the women's table: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, go and coax your wife! You missed the birthday wine at noon, and you will have a drink with your family in the evening, so give it a good
Your wife proposes a toast to apologize... By the way, why did you come here empty-handed? Where are the gifts for your younger siblings?"
"Oh! You haven't prepared any gifts?" Mr. Fu's exaggerated expression amused the family members who were watching the excitement, "Brother Xiao, isn't this too insincere? It's my sister-in-law's birthday, so you're late, so why not?
Why don’t you even prepare a gift?”
As he said this, he did not forget to wink at his teacher Lin: Did you see that? Did you see that? This is what you call a romantic man with heart and affection. He didn't even prepare a gift for his wife's birthday.
Lin Yujuan didn't believe it and asked Xu Suizhu quietly: "Sister-in-law, has Brother Xiao already given you a gift?"
Xu Suizhu smiled and shook his head.
She believed that Baozi's father must have been prepared, and he might have forgotten it in time, but she also wanted to see how he would deal with the brothers who were waiting to tear him down.
"Really?" Lin Yujuan was extremely surprised, "He can give you an island for your little birthday, but no gift for your big birthday? This is so unlike Brother Xiao's style. Could it be that he left it outside without bringing it in? I wonder?
A surprise for you?"
"Sister Lin, no matter how much you try to make excuses for Brother Xiao, it's useless. I saw him park the car and come in. He had nothing in his hand and his briefcase was left in the car." Mr. Fu said, not forgetting to put his briefcase in the car.
His daughter-in-law called out to her own camp, "Come, come, let's denounce Brother Xiao together. There is no such shop in this village. Such a good opportunity... ugh!"
Mr. Fu's gloating voice stopped abruptly.
Lu Chixiao took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket and handed it to the child's mother with a smile: "Happy birthday, Teacher Xu! Today, every year!"
Some people guessed it was a car key, and some guessed it was a house key. Unexpectedly, the final answer was: RV key.
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but stand up.
She was as surprised as everyone else because she had never heard him mention buying an RV before.
And there is no domestic RV brand of its own, right? So, it is imported from abroad?
"Originally, I wanted to wait for Ayang to contact the car factory for production, but you have seen his efficiency. I don't know if I have to wait until the year of the monkey." Lu Chixiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fu Xiaodi, who had been gloating just now.
Mr. Fu was stunned and speechless: "...Hey, hey, hey! Brother Xiao, you don't want to bury people like this! I have been negotiating for a good deal? But in business, how can we start production tomorrow after talking today..."
Lin Yujuan twisted his waist: "Are you convinced, Mr. Fu?"
"I'm done with it!"
What can I do if I don’t accept it?
…
The imported RV that Lu Chixiao bought through someone else was hailed as a "mobile villa" by the RV industry in this era. It has a second floor and is relatively large in space. It can accommodate up to ten people in the vehicle at the same time.
Although it looks a bit clumsy on the outside, it is fully functional inside: rooftop air conditioner, 2800 generator, hot water sink, gas stove, range hood, microwave, refrigerator, video TV... It is also equipped with a separate toilet and bathroom.
The children had seen the drawings of the RV, but they had not seen the "live" RV, and they were immediately very happy.
Especially the little bun, he ran up and down several times and even jumped on the tatami mat on the second floor.
"That's great! This Chinese New Year, I can take Xiaomao, Fu Luck, foreign girls and the others to Kyoto!"
"Do you like it?" Mr. Lu put his arm around the child's mother's shoulders and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
She smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
The boss is so thoughtful!
"Looking back, I seemed to have given you a too careless birthday on your thirtieth birthday."
She remembered that she gave him a suit that she designed herself, and then asked Chen Junting to find a handmade suit made by the best local master when he went on a business trip to Haicheng.
Although I put a lot of thought into it, compared with the gift from the boss, I feel it is shabby.
"No, having you by my side is the best birthday gift."
"..."
The boss's ability to tease people is really getting higher and higher.
