164: Chapter 164 Accompanying Gift

The meal was a lively affair, especially with that outrageous teacher, Xu Zhiyi.

When she heard that Su Nange was successful now and was going to be a boss, she seemed very excited.

She didn't care in the slightest about transitioning from the role of a teacher to that of an employee.

Working for Su Nange didn't require any mobilization from her sister at all.

And Su Nange also stated that the two sisters weren't employees, but partners.

He would provide the money and equipment, while the stage would belong to the two sisters!

As long as they could get the black technology up and running, the results would be shared by the team.

Professor Xu Zhiran felt that Su Nange was quite an honest person. She had come into contact with many big bosses and investors.

But the impression Su Nange gave her was that of a sincere person. Furthermore, it was evident that her sister had a genuinely good relationship with him.

Her sister, Xu Zhiyi, wasn't someone who opened up to others easily. Before Su Nange, she had always been a loner.

However, as soon as the meal was finished, Xu Zhiyi was whisked away by her sister. She didn't give Su Nange any chance for private conversation!

Professor Xu Zhiran didn't doubt for a second that these two outrageous people would do something even more outrageous.

And Su Nange felt that this was just as well. He could go find Yuan earlier.

Now was not the time for him to go flirting around; everything still had to be focused on his career.

Su Nange took Professor Xu Zhiran's budget and details and asked the young lady if there were any places suitable for conducting research.

Liu Yuan said that there was no shortage of such places.

Having heard the business plan Su Nange made last time, she suddenly felt like getting another building to develop other industries.

If possible, wouldn't it be best if Su Nange's tech company and laboratory were located with her?

It was just a pity that the Tianyu Building was truly the best choice.

Sigh, Su Nange sighed, wondering if he should just go and take Li Runfa out once and for all.

But that could only be a thought.

Different people require different rules.

Even with Lester covering for him, killing a real estate tycoon wouldn't necessarily land him in jail.

But the image he had painstakingly built with the police would crumble in an instant.

So, how could he make this guy give up that building?

Liu Yuan didn't want to think about these troublesome matters. She asked Su Nange: "By the way, what would be a good gift for Grandpa? I want to hear your opinion."

Su Nange shook his head: "I don't have any concept of high society; with my knowledge, I don't know what would be considered good."

Liu Yuan: "Don't talk nonsense, think carefully!"

Su Nange: "This is really a headache. When is your grandfather's birthday?"

"At the end of this month, just before New Year's Day."

Su Nange thought about it; there should still be time. If all else failed, he could just give him a bottle of potion. Surely the old man wouldn't dislike that, right?

What is more important than life?

However, just at this moment, Zhou Wanqing actually sent a message over.

Saying she wanted Su Nange to accompany her tomorrow to pick out some things.

Yuan's grandfather's birthday was coming up soon, and she also needed to prepare a congratulatory gift.

Su Nange thought: No, are you two biological sisters?

Zhou Wanqing, do you really have to do it like this?

Zhou Wanqing sent another message: "What, going back on your word?"

Su Nange looked at Liu Yuan beside him. Alright, I admit it, this feeling is damn exciting!

After soothing Liu Yuan and getting her to sleep, Su Nange gained over 10 million in one night.

The next day, at the agreed time, he arrived downstairs at Zhou Wanqing's place.

Zhou Wanqing told Su Nange to wait a little longer; she wasn't ready yet.

She went to the refrigerator, wanting to grab a bottle of yogurt to drink on the road.

But once she thought of the joke Su Nange told last time, she inexplicably seemed to hear the refrigerator say: "Come up and freeze yourself!"

Zhou Wanqing's expression suddenly turned sour.

Su Nange saw Zhou Wanqing, wearing a long dress and short boots, get into the car.

"What's wrong, Boss Zhou, you don't look too good?"

Zhou Wanqing: It's all because of your foul mouth!

"It's nothing, let's go."

"Where to?"

"To pick a gift for Yuan's grandfather!"

"Right, where are we picking it?"

Zhou Wanqing felt a nameless fire rising.

"You're doing this on purpose, right? I told you to think of it!"

Su Nange: ???

"Boss Zhou, shall we watch a replay? When did you tell me to think about it? You said you wanted me to accompany you."

Zhou Wanqing's mood for the whole morning was about to be ruined. Wasn't this man supposed to be sharp? Why was he suddenly so slow?

How on earth did those women fall for him?

Zhou Wanqing also started acting shamelessly: "You are my boyfriend now, you need to help me think about these things!"

Su Nange covered his face. I was doing it on purpose! Is there any boyfriend as frustrated as this?

Not a single benefit, yet he was being used like a beast of burden.

However, Su Nange naturally wouldn't fight a battle unprepared, even when facing women.

They arrived at a building.

Su Nange led Zhou Wanqing to find Dingsheng Auction Company.

Zhou Wanqing was a bit confused: "Why did you bring me here? Isn't this company a connection of Lin Xiongwei?"

Su Nange: "Heh, the things you focus on are truly different. Whoever is with you must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck. Hey, you won't end up getting me locked up too, right?"

Zhou Wanqing smiled: "That's not impossible, oh."

Knowing that Su Nange had arrived, the company's boss, Mr. Zhang, welcomed him personally.

It happened to be Saturday, so there weren't many people in the company, making it quite quiet.

Mr. Zhang hurriedly took the two of them to the tea room to make tea.

Su Nange asked: "The goods I wanted, have you found them?"

Mr. Zhang immediately went to the safe in his office and brought back a wooden box.

"Young Master Su, I've found it. Take a look, how is this large piece of jade?"

Inside a box was a piece of raw jade. It was uncarved, retaining a portion of its original stone state.

The entire piece of jade had a strong icy feel throughout. It also had a hint of golden-threaded vibrant green.

Mr. Zhang introduced: "I entrusted quite a few friends to hunt this down. Although it's not Imperial Green, it has reached the level of true ice-grade. In terms of aesthetics, it's not lacking at all."

"And it has a strong gelatinous feel; it's quite elegant to play with!"

Su Nange took the jade and the flashlight from Mr. Zhang's hand. He shone the light on it, and indeed, it was full of greenery and vitality.

Su Nange handed it to Zhou Wanqing: "Take a look."

Zhou Wanqing had seen plenty of jewelry, but she didn't have much research on jade. Unlike other gemstones, jade's three attributes—luster, variety, and color—could create thousands of different forms.

Holding the small raw piece in her hand, even though she wasn't an expert, she knew this was an extremely rare item.

Su Nange asked: "How much is this thing?"

Mr. Zhang thought for a moment: "Heh, my friend and I are best buddies, I spent 100,000 to get it."

Zhou Wanqing was stunned: So expensive?

If Su Nange knew that Zhou Wanqing actually thought that, he would be furious.

If I let Mr. Zhang tell the truth, wouldn't you be scared to death? The actual price of this thing would have to be multiplied by 5, or perhaps even more!

Su Nange said to Zhou Wanqing: "How about it? This should be quite good to give to Old Master Liu. When the old man holds it in his hand to play with, seeing this touch of golden-threaded spring color, his mood will also improve quite a bit."

Zhou Wanqing felt that what Su Nange said made some sense.

Su Nange: "Since that's the case, hurry up and pay."

Zhou Wanqing pointed at herself: "I pay?"

Su Nange was puzzled: "Otherwise? Isn't this what you want to give as a gift?"

Zhou Wanqing was a bit conflicted. Her annual salary income was about 400,000.

Apart from buying clothes and makeup/skincare products, she didn't have any major expenses. Theoretically, 100,000 was something she could easily afford.

However, because of her family background, this woman had never spent money lavishly since she was young.

Having to take out 100,000 all at once, she felt it was still a bit heavy.

Just as Zhou Wanqing was preparing to take out her wallet.

Mr. Zhang chimed in very appropriately: "If Boss Zhou likes it, just take it and play with it. Why talk about money?"

Su Nange pretended to be angry: "Boss Zhang, that's not right of you. Is Boss Zhou the same as Mr. Lin? Do you still want to continue serving City Investment Company? In the future, you need to change this style of yours!"

Mr. Zhang immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Boss Zhou, this bad habit of mine as a businessman must be changed, must be changed!"

Zhou Wanqing thought: Heh, so this damn guy was deliberately helping Mr. Zhang.

Su Nange swiped his card directly: "Let me pay, Boss Zhang, you have to give me a proper invoice."

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Alright, Young Master Su!"

Su Nange and Zhou Wanqing got back in the car.

The item was shoved into Zhou Wanqing's hands.

Zhou Wanqing felt very awkward: "If I do this, isn't that just me accepting 100,000 from you?"

"I am your boyfriend, do I have to consider so much when I give you something? If I buy you a candied hawthorn on the side of the road, do I have to report it to the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"I really give up on you. Then you should just go marry Liu Zongren! He's so rich, go live in a villa, go inherit half of the Liu family's property!"

Zhou Wanqing chuckled. This damn brat, he was actually kind of cute when he got angry.

It's just, why does it seem like he's really a bit jealous?
