quench thirst

After Assistant Li reminded him, Suo Yu's expression remained unchanged and he only responded.

"Ah."

In fact, Assistant Li didn't need to remind him about Suo Yu's birthday. Although Suo Yu was busy with work, every year when his birthday was approaching, various gifts and greetings would be sent one after another, so he was reminded.Just like the gift that Lin Xun asked the manager of the HR department to bring from China yesterday.

But Assistant Li told Suo Yu that today is his birthday, not to remind him of this matter, but to tell him something else.

For Suo Yu, at his level, birthdays can no longer be simply forgotten or celebrated with his family. The company's departments and departments have already started preparing two weeks ago. It was a gimmick, and it was also an opportunity for everyone to get closer to Suo Yu.

Therefore, after Suo Yu answered, Assistant Li directly explained the arrangements for tonight.

"The reception is held in the X Building, and the company's high-level personnel will basically participate. In addition, several other cooperative manufacturers in South Korea will also send people to contact me early. The reception is scheduled to start at [-] o'clock tonight and end at [-] o'clock. But if you feel tired, you can leave early, and I will deal with the aftermath."

Assistant Li has been with Suo Yu for many years, and he is very familiar with arranging such things, and he explained the arrangements for tonight to Suo Yu in a few sentences.

After he made it clear, Suo Yu was still only at work, and this kind of thing was actually not considered a birthday, but more like a normal entertainment.

"You can arrange it."

"Okay." Assistant Li replied.

After Assistant Li finished answering, his eyes fell on Suo Yu, and he looked up and down.Although Suo Yu was late today, it seemed to be no different from usual.

Normally, even though today is his birthday, he should really be the same as usual.But this year is actually different.

Assistant Li looked at Suo Yu, he thought for a while, smiled, and said, "A few days ago, when I was delivering lunch to Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu asked a question on the way back."

About Xu Yan's matter, Suo Yu had the intention to ask more questions.

"what is the problem?"

"He asked me about preparing gifts for my family, and about my family preparing gifts for me." Assistant Li said.

"What do you say?" Suo Yu asked.

"I said that I like the picture my son drew for me the most. It is more thoughtful than the gift I bought." Assistant Li said with a smile.

After Assistant Li finished speaking, Suo Yu didn't speak again.

After Suo Yu fell silent, Assistant Li looked at Suo Yu's expression and said, "When I saw Young Master Lin's gift yesterday, I suddenly remembered that when he asked me this question, maybe he wanted to prepare a birthday present for you."

Speaking of this, thinking about Suo Yu's early departure yesterday and today's late arrival, Assistant Li said with a smile: "Master Xu has prepared a gift for you, let's celebrate your birthday."

After Assistant Li finished speaking, Suo Yu said, "No."

Assistant Li: "..."

Suo Yu didn't raise his head, he flipped through the report in his hand, and said, "There are no gifts, and no blessings."

Assistant Li: "..."

Xu Yan was busy on the sofa with his computer in his arms when the doorbell rang.He put down the computer, got up and opened the door.As soon as the door opened, Assistant Li smiled at him outside.

He came to bring him lunch.

Although Xu Yan didn't go to Suo Yu's company with Assistant Li these few days, he still delivered meals to him every day.Xu Yan refused at first, but Assistant Li said it was Suo Yu's intention, so Xu Yan acquiesced.

Seeing Assistant Li, Xu Yan also smiled at him and called out.

"Uncle Li."

"Well, you're hungry."

Assistant Li said with a smile, and walked into the house with a food box.

After Assistant Li entered, the two went to the restaurant together.Xu Yan went to get the tableware, and Assistant Li helped put the lunch on the table.Today's lunch is still Chinese food. Xu Yan has eaten at several restaurants here, but Chinese food still suits his appetite.

After Assistant Li put down the food, Xu Yan also washed his hands and came over with the tableware.After coming over, Xu Yan sat at the dining table and began to eat lunch.

After eating late in the morning, Xu Yan is not very hungry now. While eating, he looked at Assistant Li beside him.Seeing that Assistant Li didn't leave, Xu Yan smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Assistant Li waved his hand.

"I have already eaten."

Xu Yan: "..."

"Okay." Xu Yan also laughed, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Assistant Li looked at the boy's smile, his expression froze for a moment, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.Assistant Li thought for a while, and said to Xu Yan: "Our company has a reception tonight, Mr. Suo should be back very late, you don't need to pick him up today, I will send him back."

After Assistant Li finished speaking, Xu Yan looked up at him and nodded, "Okay."

"Are you going?" Assistant Li asked.

After Assistant Li asked, Xu Yan, who had just lowered his head, raised his head again. He looked at Assistant Li, leaned back in his chair and smiled, and said, "What reception?"

"Mr. Suo's birthday reception." Assistant Li said.

Xu Yan leaned on the back of the chair, raised his eyes, and secretly looked at Assistant Li. After watching for a while, Xu Yan straightened his body and continued to eat.

"I won't take part."

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Assistant Li: "..."

Is this the point?

After the boy finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to eat, and even picked aside the coriander he didn't like.Assistant Li looked at the handsome young man on the dining table, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think he looked like a white-eyed wolf.

"Don't you know about Mr. Suo's birthday?" Assistant Li asked Xu Yan without going around in circles.

Xu Yan didn't raise his head, and said, "I don't know."

"Master Lin didn't tell you?" Assistant Li asked.

"No." Xu Yan said.

"Then you specifically asked me what gifts to give to my family that day, wasn't it to prepare Mr. Suo's birthday present?" Assistant Li asked.

Speaking of this, Xu Yan, who was eating, raised his head, looked at Assistant Li who was full of earnest eyes, and said, "No."

Assistant Li: "..."

After speaking, Xu Yan thought for a while, and asked as if asking for advice.

"Should I prepare a birthday present for uncle?"

Assistant Li: "..."

Forget it, little white-eyed wolf.

In fact, Assistant Li shouldn't say anything about Xu Yan.

After all, when their leaders learned that Xu Yan didn't congratulate him or give him a birthday gift, they always looked calm.Obviously, even if Xu Yan didn't do anything, his boss would still spoil him unconditionally.

Assistant Li went to ask Xu Yan again, but found it strange.At that time Xu Yan did ask him about the gift, and after that, he never followed him to Suo Yu's office in the afternoon.He really thought he was preparing a birthday present for Suo Yu.

Assistant Li has been with Suo Yu for many years, and he has observed his own leader carefully.Maybe Xu Yan didn't prepare a gift, and his leader wouldn't blame him.And if Xu Yan prepares a gift, then his own leaders will definitely regard it as a treasure.

It's like treating Xu Yan like a treasure.

However, when Xu Yan asked if he wanted to prepare a birthday present for his uncle, Assistant Li didn't give Xu Yan a clear answer.Whether the gift is a gift or not depends on the intention. If the gift is prepared after the opinions of others, it will also add a little bit to the meaning of the gift.

After chatting with Xu Yan, Assistant Li said goodbye to him, left Suo Yu's house, and returned to the company.

After returning to the company, I was busy all afternoon.

Because of today's birthday reception in the company, the atmosphere is very high.In the company in Incheon, except for domestic employees, most of them are Korean employees.Korean employees have their own system to celebrate the birthdays of leaders within the company.As early as the morning, the work atmosphere was impetuous, but in the afternoon, it became a little overwhelming.

Compared with the employees of the company, Mr. Shouxing himself is as stable as Mount Tai.Suo Yu still handled company affairs as usual, held meetings, and occasionally received birthday congratulatory calls from relatives, friends or business partners.When answering the phone, his tone was also indifferent. For this day, it was no different from usual.

Time was advancing quickly in the usual busyness. After [-]:[-] in the evening, after finishing the day's work, Assistant Li drove Suo Yu to the X building where the reception was located.

The top floor of the X Building is the most luxurious banquet restaurant in Incheon, with champagne and fine wine, and a swimming pool with lights. When Suo Yu arrived, the well-dressed banquet staff had already arrived.

After Suo Yu arrived, the banquet began.

The birthday party is indispensable to those forms, champagne tower, cake cutting, birthday song... After the form is finished, everyone disperses, either to socialize separately, or to toast and congratulate the birthday star.

Suo Yu usually has a lot of experience in such entertainment.Amidst all the noise, he remained calm and dignified, thanked the congratulators, and chatted with the manufacturers or senior management of the company.

In the banquet, even if everyone is as bright and beautiful as a crystal lamp, but Suo Yu stands there, anyone can see where the center and focus of the banquet is.

He seems to be able to attract people's eyes and attention by nature, not only his appearance and identity, but also his temperament.

The birthday party started at eight o'clock and lasted until twelve o'clock in the morning, but at almost ten o'clock, Suo Yu left first.

Suo Yu left, and the banquet was not over yet.This banquet will last until twelve o'clock, and after twelve o'clock, there will be a second and a third... until the early morning of the next day.

Koreans don't seem to need to sleep.

When Suo Yu left, it was naturally Assistant Li who drove him off.Today was to send Suo Yu home, so Assistant Li didn't drink.After getting in the car, Assistant Li started the car and glanced at Suo Yu who was sitting behind.

Suo Yu was the protagonist today, and he drank a lot of wine when he was greeted and sent off.But he is a heavy drinker, as unfathomable as he is. Assistant Li has never seen him drunk.And just looking at his current face, it doesn't look like he has been drinking.

After taking a look, Assistant Li looked away, started the car and drove towards the seaside villa.

The X building is farther away from the villa than the company. It was already eleven o'clock when Assistant Li drove Suo Yu back to the villa.At eleven o'clock on the beach, there is still today's unmelted snow, and behind him is the dark sea. Assistant Li stopped the car, glanced at the villa, and said to Suo Yu.

"Master Xu seems to be asleep."

The yard did not turn on the lights, only relying on the faint moonlight to reflect the light of the snow, the outline of the villa was illuminated.Inside the outline, there are no curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and behind the curtains is a deep darkness, and the scene inside cannot be seen at all.On the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the reflection of the car outside.

After Assistant Li finished speaking, Suo Yu looked up at the villa and responded.

"Ah."

After answering, Suo Yu opened the door and got out of the car.

The heater was turned on in the car, and outside the car was the seaside after the snow. The sea breeze was salty and humid, carrying the chill of melting snow. The temperature difference was like an ice knife that could cut people's skin.

But when Suo Yu got off the car, there was no influence or change at all.Assistant Li got out of the car, he couldn't resist the cold wind, and said to Suo Yu, "I'll take you in."

The lights were not turned on inside, Suo Yu drank again today, he didn't know if Suo Yu was drunk, he was afraid that he would not be able to find his way in the dark again.

While speaking, Assistant Li took out his mobile phone and was about to walk towards the entrance of the villa. Suo Yu said, "Go back."

Assistant Li holding the phone: "..."

"Can you do it?" To be honest, although Suo Yu usually gives people the impression of being reliable and stable, but at this late hour, without turning on the lights, and because he drank so much wine, Assistant Li's trust in him has also slightly weakened. crack.

"En." Suo Yu responded.

Assistant Li wanted to insist, but Suo Yu had already looked at him.In the dim light of the moonlight reflecting the snow, the man's tall body stood there, and his facial contours were more delicate under the shadow.Under the raised eyebrows, he looked at him lightly with a pair of dark and narrow eyes.

wait for him to go.

Assistant Li: "..."

"Okay. Then I'll go first, you should be more careful." Under Suo Yu's gaze, Assistant Li hastily retreated.He returned to the car, started the car, reversed and left the courtyard of the villa.

The lights of the car illuminated the yard, and as the car turned around, the lights also ended in the yard like the evening sun.The sound of the car faded away, the lights disappeared, Suo Yu turned his head and looked at the French windows.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are still not very bright, and you can't see what's going on inside, nor can you see the people inside.Suo Yu glanced at it, got up and walked to the door, unlocked the electronic lock and opened the door.

The sound of the electronic lock opening the door seemed to be the beginning of an accompaniment. When Suo Yu pushed the door in and closed the door, the accompaniment seemed to have finally entered the main theme.

Suo Yu stood at the door, and there was a "cha" sound in the living room.

The friction of the gears of the lighter produces sparks, and the sparks burn into flames, trembling in the dark living room.The trembling firelight illuminated the outline of the boy in front of the sofa.

He sat cross-legged on the sofa, shielding himself from the wind with one hand, and with the other he passed the flame of the lighter to the candles on the cake.

The candle was lit with the flame of the lighter, and the silhouette of the boy was beautiful and soft in the candlelight.He turned his head, his eyes sparkled, and smiled at Suo Yu who was standing by the door.

"Uncle, happy birthday~"
