Chapter 631: A Special Grand Gift

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: A Special Grand Gift

Speaking of birthdays, the dates of the three members of this family are actually quite close to each other.

Zhu Qianying’s birthday is on the Dragon Boat Festival, which in the Gregorian calendar, is in mid-June, while Eldest Young Master Yan’s birthday is at the end of June, and Baby Yan, or baby boy Zi Zi’s birthday, is in mid-July. The birthdays of all three fall within a span of about one month.

Zhu Qianying hadn’t thought about how she wanted to celebrate her birthday, but she had already prepared presents for Eldest Young Master Yan and her precious son.

Of course, these gifts were meant to be a surprise, so she couldn’t let the ones concerned know about them.

When Eldest Young Master Yan couldn’t get any answer from Zhu Qianying, he started racking his brains, trying to plan memorable birthday for her.

According to Young Master Yan’s previous understanding, unforgettable memories could be created with material things, as he did not usually bother to understand what women want.

However, now he understood that genuine thoughtfulness could be much more impactful than any material gift.

At least this is true for his beloved wife.

"Qin Xiu!"

"Hm?" Qin Xiu lifted his head from the pile of files, waiting for his boss’s orders.

"What kind of gifts do you usually give to your wife?"

During a meeting break, while the others were discussing operational issues related to a certain project, Eldest Young Master Yan, as the Boss, was asking his special assistant this question with a serious look on his face.

"..."

Qin Xiu wasn’t expecting his boss, who excels in many ways, to ask such a naïve and basic question.

"What? There are too many? List them for me. I need references!" Young Master Yan apparently misunderstood Qin Xiu’s reaction.

"Sir, I believe you should ask Ying Zi instead of me. Shao Shan and Ying Zi are two completely different types of women. Therefore, the act of gift-giving won’t be the same."

Qin Xiu did not want to play the role of a mindless advisor.

"I know they are different, that’s why I just need some references."

Of course, Young Master Yan also knew that his wife was probably a tough person to please.

However, she was also relatively easy to please.

This contradiction caused his indecisiveness when it came to choosing a gift.

Qin Xiu had no choice but to list all the gifts he usually gives his wife to please her, including birthday presents, holiday presents, anniversary presents, etc. The list was so long that he had no choice but to email it to Eldest Young Master Yan.

Even though Eldest Young Master Yan was overwhelmed by the list, besides fresh flowers and thoughtfully crafter surprises, he didn’t think none of the other items would deeply touch Zhu Qianying.

Since he could not find an answer immediately, Eldest Young Master Yan decided to put this matter in the urgent to-do list.

After all, besides this dilemma, there were many more tasks that needed his attention.

And today, there was one specially marked event in his calendar: the inaugural cocktail party for the new acting CEO of Mingxuan Group.

Ke Kai, as per his instructions, had sent a special present there.

The cocktail party of Mingxuan Group was held in the flagship branch of Mingxuan Hotel in downtown L City.

Zhu Zhizhou attended the cocktail party, accompanied by Fang Caiping. However, Zhu Shaofen, his high-profile wife, did not appear until the event was almost about to start.

As for today’s cocktail party, Zhu Zhizhou had a hard time expressing the bitterness he was feeling.

Outsiders saw him as heartless and ruthless, thinking only a few days of illness (Zhu’s family had always claimed this to cover up Zhu Junwei’s disappearance) could make him strip Zhu Junwei of his power.

In reality, Zhu Haoming’s appointment as the acting CEO was implemented through the joint pressure from the Board of Directors and Song Zhicheng.

Because of this, he had offended the Zhu Family.

He was confused as to why Song Zhicheng, with whom he had been getting along well recently, would suddenly raise such a demand. Could it be that the initial help he gave Mingxuan was actually intended to pave the way for Zhu Haoming’s return to Mingxuan Group?

But Zhu Haoming was his son Zhu Zhizhou. No matter how much effort Song Zhicheng poured into Zhu Haoming, wouldn’t it eventually benefit him, Zhu Zhizhou?

The most puzzling thing was that the board members, who had never favoured Zhu Haoming, suddenly and unanimously proposed Zhu Haoming’s return as the acting CEO.

"Dad, you should go up and make the opening speech!"

As Zhu Zhizhou’s youngest son, Zhu Haoming was undoubtedly the least conspicuous one in the past.

He understood this, and that’s why he decided to join the Song Family a few years ago.

This time, he was returning much mature and steadier than before, but he still could not win Zhu Zhizhou’s favour.

And this opening address, had nothing to do with Zhu Zhizhou who had stepped down from the chairperson’s position at the board of directors a few years ago.

But someone needs to keep the situation under control. Clearly, Zhu Haoming did not have such ability.

A self-aware Zhu Haoming obviously realized this, so he temporarily proposed this request.

Zhu Zhizhou understood the pros and cons, but had no choice but to give the speech.

Just as he was finishing his speech, intending to give the stage to Zhu Haoming for his speech, a commotion suddenly arose at the entrance of the cocktail party!

At this point, Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Haoming were both on the stage, one just on stage and the other yet to step down. Hearing the noise, they both looked towards the source of the disturbance.

As people gave way, they saw Zhu Shaofen, accompanied by her elder brother, the current head of the Zhu family, Zhu Shaoyong, pushing a wheelchair into the room.

And the person sitting in the wheelchair was none other than Zhu Junwei, the legitimate CEO and Chairperson of the board of directors of Mingxuan Group, who was rumoured to be severely ill.

All the attendees’ gazes moved to them, and on seeing the condition of Zhu Junwei, they were all taken aback.

Initially, they didn’t believe that Zhu Junwei was sick, but now they had to accept this fact.

Because Zhu Junwei, who was sitting in the wheelchair, looked extremely decrepit and haggard, indeed looking like he had been sick for a long time.

The ones who were equally shocked were Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Haoming who were standing on the stage.

Zhu Haoming, who was about to deliver his inaugural speech, was now in a dilemma.

"Dad..."

Zhu Haoming wanted to ask for Zhu Zhizhou’s opinion, but Zhu Zhizhou had already left him behind, getting off the stage and rushing towards Zhu Junwei.

Zhu Haoming had no choice but to signal the MC to temporarily control the situation, while he, too, followed Zhu Zhizhou off the stage.

Zhu Zhizhou ran up to Zhu Junwei, looking at his son sitting in the wheelchair with teary eyes. If Zhu Shaofen hadn’t led him in, he wouldn’t have recognized this feeble man to be his most proudly exceptional son.

"Junwei... you..." Realising he almost blurted out his concern, Zhu Zhizhou swallowed his words.

"Me what? It’s only been a few days since I left, and you already couldn’t wait to get him up there? A son of a mistress, does he even deserve it?"

As soon Zhu Junwei spoke, he seethed with rage.
