214: Chapter 214 Land Reclamation and Island Building!

Soon, the segments of the birthday banquet proceeded one by one.

Finally, it was time for everyone to present their gifts.

The first to present a gift was a girl from a relative's family of the same age who was close to Gudisha.

"Gudisha, this is a limited edition Mickey doll I prepared for you."

"Thank you, I really like your gift."

Gudisha accepted the limited edition Mickey doll with great surprise.

Although this type of extremely rare doll was quite valuable, it was not something guests would typically give.

Therefore, when she received the Mickey doll, Gudisha was quite pleasantly surprised.

After all, she had loved Mickey since she was a child.

The many guests around were also watching this scene with smiles on their faces.

Gudisha, who had always been seen as high and mighty in the eyes of others, possessed a very elegant and noble temperament.

But after she accepted the Mickey doll with such surprise, she instantly became much more down-to-earth.

This also made many of the young men in the venue look at Gudisha with even more intense longing.

"Big sister, it's my turn next."

A girl with a sweet smile handed Gudisha a gift card.

On it was a unique contact method, as well as a specifically marked warehouse address.

"Big sister, I have prepared three hundred limited edition designer bags from major luxury brands for you."

"Of course, they are all limited editions."

"Some of the rare styles were hard for me to get, and I even put a few limited edition bags from my own collection into the warehouse."

Gudisha was also quite pleasantly surprised when she saw this gift.

It had to be said that the gifts from her close friends were all carefully prepared.

Meanwhile, the gifts presented by other guests were either very valuable or appropriate for their relationship.

Especially the embassies of various countries; the gifts they presented were more symbolic, representing their friendship with the country of Dubai.

For example, the Chinese Embassy gifted a special piece of porcelain.

The surface of this porcelain had a celadon glaze, and it was a replica of domestic blue and white porcelain.

The value of this porcelain was not high, but the political significance it represented behind it was very profound.

After accepting it personally, Gudisha politely expressed her thanks and handed it to a servant nearby.

Soon, other guests presented their gifts one by one.

As for the elders in Gudisha's family, they mostly presented items representing great wealth.

In less than an hour, the total value of the gifts Gudisha received had already exceeded one billion Euros.

To this, the expression on Gudisha's face remained very calm.

One billion Euros was indeed an impressive figure, and even she could not easily ignore it.

But the wealth that had passed through Gudisha's hands since she was a child was too vast, so one billion Euros still could not shake her composure.

After one gift after another had been presented, many people's gazes unanimously focused on Shen Zhou.

"This must be Gudisha's fiancé. I wonder what kind of gift he has prepared?"

"Regardless, the value of that gift shouldn't be low, after all, standing behind this kid is Benrati, a major shareholder of Saudi Aramco Group."

Many people looked at Shen Zhou with great anticipation.

They had already established certain connections through this birthday banquet.

Now, all that remained was to watch the show.

The guests present naturally knew that many young men were extremely hostile towards Shen Zhou.

If the birthday gift prepared by Shen Zhou was outdone, many of his peers would likely jump out to cause trouble.

Even many of Gudisha's elders narrowed their eyes as they looked at Shen Zhou.

"Shen Zhou, it's your turn next."

"I heard you just returned to Dubai two days ago, but I assume your birthday gift is already prepared, right?"

"If the birthday gift you prepared is not presentable, then don't blame us for not giving you any face."

Several elders of the Dubai Royal Family looked at Shen Zhou with slightly furrowed brows.

They were the family members who had always opposed the marriage between Shen Zhou and Gudisha.

However, both Gudisha's father and Gudisha herself were very satisfied with it.

Therefore, they had no good way to stop it.

But right now was the perfect opportunity for them to launch an attack.

More and more people focused their gazes on Shen Zhou.

A hint of mockery appeared in the eyes of many people; they were already prepared to watch a good show.

"My gift is, of course, one of a kind, but I have no way to bring it to the venue for everyone to see in person."

Shen Zhou said calmly.

Many people's expressions changed, and everyone thought Shen Zhou was just playing tricks.

Even Gudisha looked at Shen Zhou with helplessness.

She thought Shen Zhou suddenly felt that the gift he prepared was not presentable.

Gudisha's father was even more displeased, but at this moment, even if he wanted to hand out jewelry again, it was too late.

Meanwhile, many of the young men around could no longer hold back.

"Gudisha, did you hear that? This guy is playing tricks again. I don't think he prepared a gift at all!"

"Either this guy didn't prepare a gift with any effort, or he felt his item wasn't presentable."

"I heard he just obtained shares in the Saudi Aramco Group, and since it's not yet time for the year-end dividends, he probably doesn't have any money!"

"Gudisha, I'll say it again: this guy Shen Zhou is simply not worthy of you!"

Many people in the venue immediately stood up to criticize Shen Zhou.

Gudisha was just about to speak up for Shen Zhou, but was held back by her father at her side.

Today's occasion was a test for Shen Zhou.

No matter how good the relationship between Gudisha and Shen Zhou was, if Shen Zhou couldn't even pass such a simple test...

...then they, the Dubai Royal Family, would really have to reconsider the marriage between their precious daughter and Shen Zhou.

"What's the rush? You haven't even seen my gift, so what right do you have to say my gift is not presentable?"

Shen Zhou said nonchalantly, and gestured to Maria at his side.

Maria immediately plugged the USB drive in her hand into the computer with the help of the staff.

Then, the projector that had already been prepared projected the image onto the white wall nearby.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and what they saw next was a scene of a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

"Everyone, please take a look. What is presented on the screen is an artificial island."

"In fact, I had already secretly prepared a birthday gift for Gudisha; I started land reclamation to build an island half a year ago."

"The area of this small island is not large, but the island has already been set up with all the surprises I prepared for Gudisha."

"These surprises will be gifted to Gudisha along with this island, and I have named this island after Gudisha."

"I have prepared a total of three hundred and sixty-five little surprises inside the small island."

"Of course, these surprises need to be opened by Gudisha herself; regarding that, I won't share them with everyone."
