Birthday?
Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment before understanding.
Tomorrow was his birthday. A few days ago, Shuyi mentioned this, but he had been busy recently and did not care.
“You guys play. I won’t be going,” Jian Changsheng said to Vivian. “The company will cover all expenses. Thank everyone on my behalf.”
!!When Vivian heard this, she couldn’t help but quickly say, “Don’t, CEO. Everyone specially prepared it for your birthday. Why aren’t you going?”
As she spoke, Vivian wrapped her arms around her shoulders and tilted her head to soften her tone. “Go, CEO. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a gathering with you. We’re looking forward to it.”
Jian Changsheng was not in a good mood, but he hesitated when he heard Vivian’s words.
In the end, he nodded. “Alright.”
Seeing that Jian Changsheng had agreed, Vivian was delighted. She patted the small gift bag on the table with her red nails and said happily, “I hope you like my gift.”
Jian Changsheng wanted to say that there was no need for a gift, but Vivian beat him to it. “I especially chose it for you. It’s not anything valuable. You have to accept it!”
Jian Changsheng swallowed his words and nodded. “Thank you.”
Vivian left the office with a glowing face and long legs. Lili, who was at the secretary’s desk, looked up at Director Vivian’s back and rolled her eyes.
That night, Jian Changsheng went to the birthday party the company had prepared for him with a stomach full of worries. After a few rounds, he had drunk too much.
Qiao Shuyi waited until past one in the morning before the chauffeur sent the unconscious Jian Changsheng back.
“Why did you drink so much?”
When Qiao Shuyi saw Jian Changsheng being held by the chauffeur at the door, she reached out to help.
Jian Changsheng had always drunk alcohol regularly. Even if it was an especially important social gathering, he wouldn’t drink like this. At most, he would talk nonsense, but today, he drank until he was unconscious.
The chauffeur quickly said, “The CEO might have drunk a few more gla.s.ses because he was happy.”
Qiao Shuyi had always been gentle and would never lose her temper with others, let alone make things difficult for a driver.
She only said, “It’s been hard on you. Quickly go back and rest. Leave him to me.”
“I’ll help Madam help the CEO in first.”
The two of them helped Jian Changsheng, who had lost his center of gravity, to the sofa and lay down. Only then did the chauffeur leave.
Looking at Jian Changsheng, who reeked of alcohol and had no reaction, Qiao Shuyi sighed softly. Recently, because her daughter suddenly left her side, she had been in a terrible state and neglected her husband and son. Looking at Jian Changsheng’s face, Qiao Shuyi’s heart ached, and she blamed herself.
She turned around and got a wet towel. She squatted down and wiped Jian Changsheng’s face.
“Xiao Yu… Forgive… Oh…”
Jian Changsheng started talking in his sleep and said something unclear. Qiao Shuyi paused and frowned. Jian Changsheng stopped talking.
She vaguely remembered that because of Han Wenjing’s accident last time, Changsheng was also very drunk. In the car, Qiao Shuyi still remembered hearing him say happy birthday…
When he was drunk, he said something he didn’t understand. Qiao Shuyi sighed and ignored him.
The next day, Jian Changsheng woke up on the sofa in the living room with a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes, he couldn’t help but press his temples.
His head felt as heavy as lead, and it was still buzzing. His stomach felt uncomfortable as if he had been tortured.
“Husband, you’re awake.” Qiao Shuyi walked forward. Seeing Jian Changsheng like this, she couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
“My head hurts a little. Perhaps I drank too much,” Jian Changsheng muttered. Then, he looked at Qiao Shuyi and asked, “I didn’t vomit when I came back yesterday, right?”
Qiao Shuyi smiled and shook her head. Then, she said, “Go back upstairs and rest again. Don’t go to the company today.”
“No, I still have a few doc.u.ments waiting for me to sign on my desk. Some of them are urgent. I have to go,” Jian Changsheng said and stood up.
Seeing this, Qiao Shuyi pushed him back down. “If you feel so uncomfortable, don’t go. It’s your birthday today. Just treat it as a day off for yourself.”
Looking at the time, Qiao Shuyi said, “Yiyi is especially rus.h.i.+ng back from the capital today. She should have already boarded the plane. Yichen would come over with Dad and Mom tonight as well. Be energetic. Don’t let the children come back and see your tired face.”
Hearing that his daughter was back, Jian Changsheng hesitated.
Seeing this, Qiao Shuyi said, “How about this? I’ll get Xiao Chen to send over the doc.u.ments from your office later. Eat something later. When you’re in good spirits in the afternoon, sign the doc.u.ments at home.”
Jian Changsheng shook his head. “That won’t do. They’re all private and important doc.u.ments. Why don’t you go to the company and help me get them back?”
Half an hour later, Qiao Shuyi drove to the Jian Group.
“Madam, why are you here?”
As soon as she reached the office door, the secretary, Lili, welcomed her warmly.
This secretary was very familiar with Qiao Shuyi. Back then, Qiao Shuyi gave her a high-cla.s.s supermarket shopping card with a denomination of over ten thousand yuan and asked her to help her pay more attention to Jian Changsheng’s condition.
Lili did as she was told. Usually, when Jian Changsheng was not in good condition or was angry at the company, Lili would report it to Qiao Shuyi.
In the blink of an eye, over two years had pa.s.sed. Qiao Shuyi had given her a lot of things, and Lili gradually understood her true use.
Qiao Shuyi said nothing. She knew what she should pay attention to now.
When Qiao Shuyi saw Lili, she also revealed a friendly smile. Then, she said, “Changsheng drank too much at the gathering yesterday and has a headache today. I came over to help him bring some doc.u.ments back. He said it was quite urgent.”
Lili quickly nodded and opened the door for Qiao Shuyi.
Qiao Shuyi walked to the desk and took out two blue doc.u.ment folders, a red one, and a black one according to Jian Changsheng’s instructions. The doc.u.ment folders were labeled with the words ‘confidential.’ Jian Changsheng said that these were doc.u.ments for the South City project and were very important.
No wonder it could not be handled by others.
After putting away the doc.u.ments, Qiao Shuyi noticed an exquisite gift bag on the table.
With just a look, she knew it was a gift. A gift from someone to Jian Changsheng.
Qiao Shuyi picked it up with a calm expression and opened it. Inside was a golden box. When she opened it, it was a man’s tie with a refined color.
It didn’t look like anything valuable, but this tie was indeed suitable for Jian Changsheng. It was obvious that the person who chose the gift had thought about it.
A card fell onto the table. On it was written: Happy birthday to you! Vivian.
