"Oh, what's your boss's name? Why did you invite your colleagues to celebrate your birthday this year?"

"Shang Wan," I sat back to my place and picked up the water glass, "It's a good match, she is about the same age as me, and she is very good, I think I have a lot to learn from her."

"Not bad, not bad, it's rare for you to have such awareness. So, is this Shang Wan married? Does he have any children?"

Sure enough, she was still my mother. Once the tears were wiped away, she was still the most concerned about the marriage of all sentient beings.

"Oh mom, she's a career woman. By the way, when you see her later, don't ask her mother-in-law to ask these questions. She is my boss. If you turn around, she will be upset and bully me."

"Huh? Will she bully you?"

I was speechless for a moment, "That's all I'm saying, anyway, don't ask her personal questions. Oh, and, her mother died of illness a few years ago, so don't ask her family when you look back."

"Ah? What a poor child! What does she like to eat? I'll see and buy some for her..."

"Mom, mom, mom..." I interrupted her, "You just need to know these words, don't put them all on your face and mouth, oh, you know that Ayou is here too, right?"

"Of course I know. Didn't I also buy her favorite scallops? Make garlic vermicelli scallops for her at night."

Ayou came before four o'clock that day, probably because she wanted to chat with me. Unexpectedly, my mother came earlier. She gave a large bouquet of light purple roses to my mother, muttering: "Daughter's birthday is mother's birthday." Good Friday, Auntie, you have worked hard!"

My mother was happy, I pulled her upstairs and held out my hand, "Where's my gift?"

She shrugged and spread her hands, "That bunch of flowers is more than 600!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Eh? Are you going to come out later?"

"I've been out."

"Then... are you going to introduce the ugly daughter-in-law to the in-laws?"

I rolled her eyes, "Who do you call ugly?"

"Oh, just say, eh, seriously, Shang Wan is really coming soon? Why am I a little nervous?"

I was still immersed in the conversation with my mother just now, and I was not in the mood to talk to her, so I sighed, "Ayou, Shang Wan bought me an education fund in the United States."

Ah You was stunned for a moment, "Wow, boss! How much money?"

I hold out five fingers.

"Fifty thousand? Or fifty thousand dollars?"

"A little more, 50 Ruanmei coins, she said that she will keep saving them..."

Ayou sat down on the sofa in an exaggerated manner, the traces of acting were too serious.

"Does Mr. Shang have any other rich ladies? Introduce one to me!"

"Xiao Ziyan~"

Ayou dropped his shoulders and stuck out his tongue at me.

"How is it? Do you still have the patience for sister Ziyan? I remember you said that now you just want to be by her side."

"Why are you impatient? She is at the lowest point in her life now, and she will always bottom out."

"Well, that's good. However, she is really in a bad state now, and she will work harder for you."

"I didn't think it would be hard or not, but I'm just a little lucky that I can be there when she is at its worst." Ayou leaned back and collapsed on the sofa, "Come and go, what do you value most in love?"

"What can I give her?"

"Oh! So unthinking? It's no wonder that you and Shang Wan have been hesitating for a while."

"Isn't it? I thought everyone was like this. Isn't that what you value?"

"I think I am the same, but there must be many, many people who look at what the other party can give themselves."

After hearing this, I thought about the people around me, my mother, Wu Fei, and of course Shang Wan, "Actually, it's all about sorting. I think most people think about two-way, but I can There is a ranking of what to give to the other party and what the other party can give to me. I think Shang Wan’s number one is what she can give me, otherwise how would she like me?”

Ayou smiled, "You two are a perfect match."

As soon as the voice fell, the downstairs became lively. I listened carefully, and it was a man's voice, "Let's go down, Uncle Li and the others are here."

I went downstairs and saw that it was indeed Lao Li and his son Li He. The father and son bought me a gift together. I took it without looking at it. It must be expensive. Thank you, they are also familiar with Ah You. Everyone just asked and chatted casually.

"Is there another colleague who comes and goes?" Uncle Li asked.

"Yes," my mother was cutting vegetables inside, "she is the manager of the department, surnamed Shang, a girl who is about the same age as Lai Lian."

Ayou made a face at me, "Department manager??"

I pulled her to the other end, "For fear of scaring my mother, just say it's the department manager, don't talk too much."

"Miss is an intern in the company now, right?" Li He asked over there.

Uncle Li's son is one year younger than me. He studied electrical engineering and is now working in a big company. I heard that he will return to Uncle Li's company next year to help him.

"Ah," I walked back, "Hey, the internship or not, it was introduced by a friend. I just happen to have nothing to do during the day, so I went to learn something."

As I said that, my phone vibrated, and I saw that it was Shang Wan's message:

——Sorry, I learned how to make cakes with the chef at home in the afternoon. It was a bit late, and now we are leaving. Are you all here?

I laughed when I thought of her silly way of learning to bake cakes, and hurriedly replied:

——It's okay, they just arrived, don't worry, take your time.

Ayou next to me poked me with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Your mouth is almost crooked. When she comes later, I don't think you two will be able to hide it."

"Go away!" I also whispered back.

For the next ten minutes or so, I fumbled here and there, waiting for Shang Wan to send me a message at the bottom of the building asking me to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang suddenly, so I rushed over to see that she had arrived the door?

I hurriedly opened the door and saw her smiling. I felt excited when I was touched by her eyes. I let her in and asked, "Huh? How did you get into the building?"

"Someone swiped their card in front and let me in without asking me..."

"Tsk tsk, which neighbor is this? I'm so dazed, today is you, what if a beautiful serial killer comes one day?"

"Hey, don't be poor." Shang Wan reminded in a low voice.

I turned around and saw, my good fellow, a whole room of people were watching us like they were watching a show, and I quickly laughed, "Oh, everyone, this is my colleague Shang Wan, Shang Wan, this is everyone."

I don't need to introduce the identities of these people, do they?

My mother held up a large spoon, "Let's go, introduce him to Manager Shang, don't be so sloppy."

"Oh, hey, the person who is dissatisfied with me is my mother, Ms. Wang Yaru, this is Uncle Li Qihong, this is my younger brother Li He who has different fathers and mothers, and this is my relative who has different fathers and mothers and has no family relationship." Sister Ayou."

From the corner of my eye, I saw my mother was about to pass by, Shang Wan was generous, completely immune to my words, nodded slightly, "Hello, Auntie, Uncle," and nodded to Li He and Ayou, "Hello. "

Everyone also said hello to her, and I saw that she was still holding the cake, and I laughed again, "You really made this yourself?" She said and took it.

"Yeah, poor workmanship, don't laugh at me for a while," she said, and then gave me something in the other hand. I saw that it was a bottle of red wine. Take it."

I saw that she had taken off her coat again, so I took it for her. She was wearing a very ladylike white round-neck coat and a light brown skirt of the same texture. The fragrance is light, the hair hangs naturally, and the ends of the hair are slightly pulled back.

I looked very satisfied.

She still didn't come in, hesitated for a moment, I suddenly remembered the shoes, I bought a pair of slippers for her specially before, "Oh, wait a minute." I took out the new slippers from the cabinet beside me and put them on for her .

Turning around again, I saw my mother watching there.

"Cake made by Manager Shang himself?" she asked the old man.

I hold my forehead, why is this name so awkward.

"Oh, it's shameless, Auntie," Shang Wan said with a smile, "Auntie, you can just call me Shang Wan."

"Oh, how can it be, you are the big manager, you are our immediate boss, right?"

"Ah? Hehe..." Shang Wan laughed and laughed.

"Then you call her Xiaoshang." I said.

Ah You leaned over, "Yes, yes, Xiao Shang is good," then turned to Shang Wan, "Xiao Shang is good."

I really want a shadowless claw to send her downstairs.

Shang Wan smiled and said, "Hello, Ayou, you are always mentioned in our communication."

"What would Sister Shang want to drink? Juice, coffee, tea?"

I was startled by the intruding sound, and when I turned around, Li He had already taken the initiative to recognize his relative.

"Oh, thank you, no need." Shang Wan replied with a smile.

"Xiao Shang, I don't know what you like to eat. Take a look at the dishes made by auntie. Do they suit your appetite?" My mother became polite again in the kitchen, "You can talk about it. I should find out what you like to eat in advance. Tell me again, I'm so prepared!"

I will take the blame!

"I know that I don't choose, so I don't worry about it. Auntie, don't worry."

"Oh, Xiaoshang is such a nice girl, capable, sensible, and so pretty..."

I pulled Shang Wan up, "Mom, we went upstairs to play, call us when dinner is ready!"

"Hey?" Shang Wan pulled me back and whispered, "Don't you want to help me?"

"Oh, don't worry about it," I said loudly on purpose, "my mother cooks my birthday, isn't it, mother?"

"Yes, yes, go and play."

I pulled Shang Wan, and Ayou followed us upstairs, and built a [-]-watt super-large light bulb.

"Why are you here too?" I asked Ah You honestly and bluntly as soon as I reached the small living room upstairs.

"Oh my god, didn't I come here today to cover you two? If I don't come, you two will come upstairs. Aren't you afraid that Auntie will suspect you?"

Shang Wan's face turned red at what she said.

"Otherwise you two are exchanging information here, and I'll go to the stairs to watch?" Ah You asked again.

Just as Shang Wan was about to speak, I slammed it back: "You must be poor!"

Shang Wan laughed, "I finally know why you two are good sisters," he said and looked at Ayou, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"Huh? It can't just be verbal."

As soon as Ah You finished speaking, the pillow in my hand had already fallen on her head.

"When we were in Denmark, if it weren't for your phone call, I wouldn't know what she did for me."

"Oh~ you said that, you told me about it after we met," Ah You arranged the pillow and straightened the messy hair on his forehead, "Oh, Mr. Shang, just think I did it on purpose."

"Huh?" Shang Wan didn't know if she could hear her talking, "You can call me Shang Wan."

"Can I? Why don't you feel afraid to call you by your first name?"

"How come? Everyone is not a few years apart."

"But you are Shang Wan from the Shanggu Group." Ayou crossed his fingers and looked at the sky at [-] degrees. "In the past, in my eyes, you were all people in the clouds."

Shang Wan laughed, "Don't think so, everyone is similar."

"You are too proud of your modesty," Ayou shook his head, "But because you are my sister-in-law, I forgive you."

Over there, Shang Wan blushed again, and I glared at Ah You, "Can't you make a better impression on others?"

"Oh! Shang Wan, let me tell you about my name. My surname is actually Zuo, called Zuo Xiaochen. In the 50s, my grandfather..."

I rolled my eyes and heard her tell Shang Wan the bad story, and Shang Wan also listened with great interest, and suddenly felt that this was also quite happy. I didn’t want what my mother said before, and I didn’t want Dad's business, I don't want to study, I don't want to think about the future, just at this moment, isn't it very happy?
