138 Respectful Gifts
Looking at the cardboard box in front of him, Zhou Xuanji picked it up and put it on the ground. Li Wan threw these things here, but she left in a little disappointed way, and didn't say what it was.
I slowly opened the box and contained some local specialties. This time I went on a business trip for quite a while. Li Wan purchased some local specialties, such as grain pancakes, boneless stewed chicken, etc., and this thought made Zhou Xuanji feel a little warm.
He flipped through the things inside casually. When he reached the bottom of the box, Zhou Xuanji's hand stopped. There was an exquisite small package. He pondered for a while and slowly took it out.
The wrapping paper is red gold-inlaid paper, tied with pink ribbons on it, and a pink bow on the top, which looks very delicate and has a bit of Li Wan's style. The whole packaging box is quite deep and has a faint fragrance.
Zhou Xuanji thought about it and took the cardboard box, but he did not unpack the packaging. Women gave things to men. There was a deep knowledge in it. If it was just a gift from friends, it would be nothing. However, under normal circumstances, it would not be so grand and had a bow tie. This would be a bit like a lover giving gifts to each other. So if he opened it, it would be really hard not to accept it. If there was anything in it that showed his feelings, it would be more embarrassing.
But that cardboard box is not in this ranks. After all, that kind of packaging itself represents an ordinary gift. If a cardboard box is used to hold important gifts, you must be prepared to be rejected.
Putting this exquisite packaging box on the table, Zhou Xuanji then got up and walked into the safety corridor, lit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth. In fact, he was not very addicted to smoking, and he had strong self-control, so he usually wouldn't smoke. However, these things recently touched his mood, making him want to smoke involuntarily.
Leaning on one side of the wall, watching the smoke rising in front of him, Zhou Xuanji's heart calmed down. At this moment, a short message came from his phone.
This was sent by Ye Xiaoxiao. After a look, his face showed a bit strange. The text message was as follows: Xuanji, I just came back from a business trip, but I had a cold and fever, so I can't go to work for the time being. I took annual leave and took a few days to rest at home before going to work. When I came back from business trip this time, I brought you some small gifts. If you have time, you can come to my house after get off work.
Zhou Xuanji vomited a smoke ring. Although Ye Xiaoxiao only sent a text message, this soft and weak tone was her always style. However, it was clearly an invitation, but she said it out like this. If ordinary people were not thinking about it at all, and if they were in a caring way, it would naturally be much easier for others to accept it.
At this point, Li Wan is completely different from her, one is calm and the other is hot, but each has its own style.
As he thought about it, he replied with a text message: Xiaoxiao, please pay attention to rest. I have something to do tonight. Then go to your house to see you tomorrow. If you have a cold, take a hot shower, and then sleep more, and your body will naturally get better quickly.
After sending the text message, he directly called Xiao Qiong's cell phone and agreed to Li Wan's affairs. He still had to do it. He used Xiao Qiong as a shield, and I believe Li Wan will restrain herself in the future.
The phone rang several times before it was picked up. Listening to the sound coming from the other side, Zhou Xuanji was stunned. This was not Xiao Qiong's voice.
"Hello, Xiao Qiong is not here?" Zhou Xuanji asked lightly.
"Oh, Xiao Qiong is recording a song, and it is not convenient to answer the phone for the time being. Who are you? After she has finished recording the song, I will ask her to call you back." This female voice is quite polite and her voice is also very pleasant, but it is obvious that this is not Xiao Qiong's assistant or the like, otherwise the way of speaking should be more professional.
Zhou Xuanji responded and said, "My name is Zhou Xuanji, and I am her friend, so I'll trouble you."
"Okay, I understand. She will be about an hour away. I'll ask her to call you back when the time comes." The woman responded, and then cut off the contact.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head, but he was a little confused. Although Xiao Qiong is a first-line actress in the entertainment industry and has starred in movies and TV series, most of his energy is still on the hosting. He was suddenly about to release a record again, which surprised him a little.
After smoking the cigarette, he slowly returned to the seats. The fat man and the monkey had already returned. After Zhou Xuanji came in, the two of them looked at him dryly, with a strange look on their faces, but he didn't care, and sat straight on the chair.
Just as he sat down, he realized something was wrong. The packaging box with a pink bow seemed to have become flattered. It was obvious that someone had moved it, but after moving it, he found something was wrong and packed it again. However, the packaging level is really unsatisfactory.
Zhou Xuanji glanced at the fat man and said lightly: "Fat man, if you want to see what is here, just ask Li Wan directly?"
"Brother Zhou, we didn't mean to unpack your packaging box on purpose." The fat man rubbed his hands and said with awkward expression, but when he saw Zhou Xuanji's indifferent expression, he seemed to not believe him. He could only change the subject: "Really, Brother Zhou, we didn't mean it."
"Well, what you mean is that this packaging box was opened by himself?" Zhou Xuanji was speechless. Although he did not want to remove Li Wan's gift, since he had already opened it, he would not be obsessed with this matter, especially Fatty and Monkey are his friends after all. For these two people, he still has this responsibility.
The fat man and the monkey shook their heads at the same time, shook their heads like wavy drums, and then the fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Brother Zhou, that's right. When I saw this packaging box, I had a little argument with the monkey. I said it must be an important gift prepared by Mr. Li for you. It should be a belt or a tie. But the monkey said it was definitely not. With Mr. Li's temperament, it should be something like underwear and underwear. I think he is very perverted. How could Mr. Li give these things like this elegant woman..."
Before he finished speaking, the monkey interrupted: "Okay, your idea is too perverted. I just said that Mr. Li gave Brother Zhou something like that, and did not say that he gave her the underwear she had worn. It was the filth in your mind, and it had to be imposed on my head."
Zhou Xuanji's mouth twitched. These two people are definitely the best, and all these messy ideas can be accomplished.
His eyes glanced at the fat man and the monkey, and there was a smell of murderous aura. He heard the two of them say this, and he knew about it. The two must have been arguing and dissatisfied with each other. Then he opened the packaging box for impulse, but it was not so easy to restore it after opening it.
"So after you look at it, who is right?" Zhou Xuanji said softly, but it was this sentence that made the fat man and the monkey tremble at the same time. They suddenly felt cold around them, making them extremely uncomfortable.
"Brother Zhou, none of us guessed correctly. You'd better... take a look at it yourself." The fat man shrank his neck nervously and said dryly, but the monkey didn't even dare to say anything, so he just nodded.
Zhou Xuanji was stunned. He then slowly opened the packaging box. The beautiful wrapping paper was a wooden box with exquisite workmanship. The whole box was not made of any metal parts. All of them were hand-polished. This technique was usually used in the production process of traditional mahogany furniture.
The material of the box itself is Huanghuali, which is relatively rare, which is enough to show the value of the box. Moreover, the color of the box is quite deep. This shows that the box has been around for a long time and should not be the current product. The top of the box is designed with a slid cover, and Zhou Xuanji's thumb gently strokes it to reveal the things inside.
There is a greeting card and a pendant at the bottom of the box, which is made of gold, and a pendant hanging in the center. The pendant is green all over, as the size of a quail egg. It is a pair of emerald necklaces hanging around Li Wan's neck. She is wearing a women's model. This one is a standard men's model and looks radiant and eye-catching.
Zhou Xuanji took a deep breath, then took out the greeting card and slowly opened it. The greeting card was full of words. Li Wan's handwriting was quite beautiful, and it was obviously practiced with great care.
Lao Zhou:
When I saw this pendant, I think you will know what I mean. That's right, this is the heirloom treasure left by my mother back then. There are a pair of them. My mother's grandfather was a big capitalist with a reputation as a demon. When my grandfather got married, he handed down this pair of necklaces, and then my grandfather passed it to my mother, and my mother passed it to me again.
This is my mother's relic and the only thing that I can get comfort when I think of her. Because you also make me feel very safe, I gave it to you.
My mother said that this pair of necklaces is a pair, I give them to you, I hope you can cherish it. I, Li Wan, have never been the kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, nor are they the kind of petty person. But this time I want you to understand that I cherish this necklace very much, and I hope you can learn to cherish it too. Anyway, if you open this packaging box, it means that you have accepted this gift and are not allowed to return it to me.
He stretched out his fingertips to stroke the pendant. The emerald was transparent and deep, refracting light, emitting a charming smell, which made people feel moved, but Zhou Xuanji felt a little stressed. This thing was quite valuable, but if it was returned to Li Wan, he would have no better excuses. After all, the packaging had been removed.
After putting the packaging box back, Zhou Xuanji thought about it and carefully wrapped the packaging paper. At his level, it was not comparable to the fat man and the monkey.
Seeing his hands turning into magic, he wrapped the box up in a few straight strokes, and the bow became more detailed, and the fat man and the monkey were a little stunned.
"Brother Zhou, your hand is so beautiful, it is even more beautiful than Mr. Li's packaging. Why don't you teach me? I also want to learn it. Once I learn it, I can make my girlfriend happy." The fat man came over with envy.
Zhou Xuanji put the packaging box in his hand and said lightly: "Yes, but I'll give you a task. No matter what method you use, I have to return the box to Li Wan. It must be a face-to-face return. Since you opened the packaging box, you have to deal with it."
Hearing this, the monkey shrank directly, sat in the seat and pretended not to hear anything, and the fat man could only face it alone. He said with a bitter look: "Brother Zhou, you are just a slut. If I really return this thing to Mr. Li, she will definitely beat me to death, and I don't have to keep going in Fengzhan anymore. So, Brother Zhou, I beg you, let me go, I will definitely not be able to complete this task."
"Don't worry, Li Wan is willing to introduce you to a girlfriend, so she will definitely not deal with you. She is not that kind of person. No matter what, she knows that this is what I mean. If you go back, she will not take her anger on you. At most, it will only cause you to suffer some flesh and blood. Anyway, you are thick-skinned and rough, and you are not afraid of her strength. Besides, don't you have special abilities? At that time, just use your mind to stop her."
Zhou Xuanji smiled slightly, finally turned his body and replied casually, regardless of any of the fat man's expressions.
The fat man seemed to be about to cry. He held the box with both hands and said a little frustrated: "Brother Zhou, my special ability is useless at all. I have tried it many times, but none of it was fulfilled. I guess that thing must have nothing to do with me. I think it must be yours, so I really can't do this task."
"Fatty, if you think it doesn't work, just put it aside. But you can think about the consequences of this matter yourself. Anyway, my understanding is very simple. You would rather disassemble my packaging box to offend me than return the packaging to offend Li Wan."
Zhou Xuanji didn't raise his head, but just said softly. After saying that, he stood up and changed the subject: "I'll go out, you can do it. Speaking of the last incident, Sun Xiang, downstairs, rushed up with a fat female army, and finally fell to the ground, um..."
Hearing this, the fat man stood up directly. He blocked Zhou Xuanji's face, gritted his teeth, held the packaging box in both hands, and said with a tragic look: "Brother Zhou, can you go? Can you not scare me with that? I'll go now. Anyway, you're right. At worst, I'll be beaten by Mr. Li. As long as I'm at work and girlfriend, it's no big deal."
After saying that, he took several deep breaths, straightened his chest, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and walked towards Li Wan's office with big strides.
Zhou Xuanji raised his mouth and shook his head. He glanced at the monkey. The monkey quickly lowered his head. Zhou Xuanji didn't care. He patted his shoulder and said, "Monkey, I'll go out to do something. Regardless of whether the fat man has completed the task or not, you will send me a message to tell me."
The monkey didn't dare to respond, but just nodded desperately. Obviously, the matter of unpacking the packaging box always made him feel guilty. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
