Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 178 Birthday Gift
The next morning, the weather was fine. In a cake shop downstairs from Phoenix Capital, Jiang Xiaoguo was paying with her membership card at the cashier. The clerk of the cake shop looked at her and smiled:

"Ms. Jiang, today is your birthday. Members have exclusive benefits. This cake is specially given to you. I wish you a happy birthday and smooth work."

"so good?"

Jiang Xiaoguo happily took the small box of cheesecake given to her by the clerk and said with a smile:
"thank you."

"You're welcome, please walk slowly."

……

Walking into Phoenix Capital, she put the cheesecake in the refrigerator in the tea room. Then, Jiang Xiaoguo turned and left the tea room. She walked into the investment business department. At this moment, she heard Yuan Xudong and the others behind her singing Happy Birthday:
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Jiang Xiaoguo turned around in surprise and saw Yuan Xudong holding a two-layer cake in his hand, followed by Liu Shishi and the others. She couldn't help but murmured happily:
"You guys are so thoughtful, thank you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Xudong walked past her holding a double-layered cake. He walked up to Guan Xiumei and smiled slightly:

"Director Guan, happy birthday."

Others also walked past Jiang Xiaoguo, and they all blessed Guan Xiumei and said:

"Sister Xiuxiu, happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Yuan, and thank you all."

Guan Xiumei said with some surprise:
"I forgot that today is my birthday. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday. Thank you."

"Sister Xiuxiu, hurry up and make a birthday wish, and then let Mr. Yuan help you realize it."

"Mr. Yuan, what special birthday gift have you prepared for our sister Xiuxiu?"

"Mr. Yuan, do you have any words of blessing for our sister Xiuxiu?"

"Sister Xiuxiu, have you ever..."

……

It turned out that Yuan Xudong and the others were celebrating Guan Xiumei's birthday. Jiang Xiaoguo was so embarrassed that she huddled in the corner for fear that others would notice her. At this moment, Yuan Xudong looked at her and smiled slightly:

"Jiang Xiaoguo, come here quickly, isn't today also your birthday?"

"Is today my birthday?"

Jiang Xiaoguo pretended to be stupid and said, seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"I just heard it, happy birthday."

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Yuan Xudong deliberately teasing Jiang Xiaoguo, everyone couldn't help laughing. Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Yuan Xudong, then walked to the front and stood with Guan Xiumei.

At this time, Yuan Xudong rotated the specially customized two-layer cake ninety degrees, and saw the words written in red cream on the lower layer of cake:

[Happy birthday to Jiang Xiaoguo. 】

Seeing this birthday greeting, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but be filled with surprise. Yuan Xudong looked at her and smiled:

"Xiaoguo, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Yuan."

Jiang Xiaoguo thanked him happily, and everyone also sent their blessings:

"Xiaoguo, happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

After a while of excitement, Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and Guan Xiumei and smiled:

"Okay, let's blow out the candles and make a wish. If this wish is not difficult, I will help you make it come true."

"Wow, Mr. Yuan is so awesome."

"Xiaoguo, hurry up and make a wish to buy a house."

"Sister Xiuxiu, let's make a wish to buy two houses, and give me one as a gift when the time comes."

……

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Jiang Xiaoguo and Guan Xiumei put their hands together, closed their eyes and made a birthday wish, and then blew out all the candles together.

"Sister Xiuxiu, what birthday wish did you make?"

"Xiaoguo, what about you, what birthday wish did you make?"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Guan Xiumei asked each other, and everyone also wanted to know, after all, Yuan Xudong would help them realize their birthday wish, if this birthday wish is not excessive.

Although everyone wanted to know what birthday wishes they had made, neither Jiang Xiaoguo nor Guan Xiumei wanted to tell them. Seeing them like this, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Okay, let's cut the cake." Jiang Xiaoguo and Guan Xiumei began to cut the cake for everyone. Yuan Xudong also took out the birthday gifts prepared in advance and gave them to them respectively, two very exquisite boxes, one long and one square.

The square box was given to Guan Xiumei, and the long box was given to Jiang Xiaoguo.

"Open it and take a look."

Yuan Xudong smiled, and everyone looked at the gift boxes Guan Xiumei and Jiang Xiaoguo held in their hands with great curiosity.

Opening the gift box, the gift Guan Xiumei received was a very exquisite ladies' watch, inlaid with sparkling diamonds, while the gift Jiang Xiaoguo received was just an ordinary pen with a black body, which looked very cheap. Moreover, it doesn't seem to be new, there are signs of being used.

Looking at the diamond watch Guan Xiumei received, and then looking at the old pen he received, Jiang Xiaoguo felt disappointed. Isn't this too different?

Like Jiang Xiaoguo, Guan Xiumei felt quite uncomfortable. It would be fine if she and Jiang Xiaoguo, an intern, celebrated their birthdays together, but the birthday gifts they received represented completely different feelings and there was no comparison at all. .

After eating the cake, everyone returned to their stations and started working, and Yuan Xudong also returned to his office.

At this time, Guan Xiumei walked to Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"Xiaoguo, I saw that you didn't look very happy just now. Do you dislike the birthday gift from Mr. Yuan?"

"No, Sister Xiuxiu, I..."

Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to explain, but Guan Xiumei interrupted her and said with a smile:

"You don't need to explain. I understand in my heart that I have also come from your age. I am just twenty-two years old, so young. When I was your age, I also liked beautiful things, such as diamonds. "

Having said this, Guan Xiumei put the diamond watch that Yuan Xudong gave her on Jiang Xiaoguo's right wrist, and then said with a smile:
"It's so beautiful. I gave it to you. Let's work together in the future."

"Sister Xiuxiu, this..."

"Don't refuse me, otherwise I will be very sad."

Guan Xiumei smiled slightly. As she spoke, she glanced at the pen on Jiang Xiaoguo's table, with a hint of fondness in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately asked sensibly:

"Sister Xiuxiu, do you like this pen?"

"I like it very much, I..."

Guan Xiumei wanted to be more tactful, but Jiang Xiaoguo immediately gave her his pen and said with a smile:

"Sister Xiuxiu, if you like it, I'll give it to you."

"really?"

Guan Xiumei said with surprise on her face:
"Do you really want to give it to me?"

"Ah."

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded. Seeing that she really wanted to give this special pen to him, Guan Xiumei couldn't help but smile:

"Okay then, thank you."

"It's okay."

Jiang Xiaoguo said with a silly smile that she felt that Guan Xiumei was very kind to her. Since that simulation project, she has been studying with Guan Xiumei. It can be said that Guan Xiumei is the mentor who brought her into this industry, so Jiang Xiaoguo likes her very much.

Looking at the somewhat silly Jiang Xiaoguo, Guan Xiumei couldn't help but smile and said:
"Xiaoguo, I think that company that specializes in online short video processing that you found in the email last time is pretty good. I wonder if you have the confidence to take charge of this project?"

"Yes, I am very confident."

Jiang Xiaoguo said happily. Seeing her so happy, Guan Xiumei smiled and said:

"Well, I'll leave this project to you. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me. Come on."

"Well, thank you, Sister Xiuxiu."

"I'm leaving first. You have to work hard. Bye."

"OK Bye Bye."

After Guan Xiumei left, Li Tianyang, who was sitting opposite Jiang Xiaoguo, couldn't help but said with envy on his face:

"Xiaoguo, you are so lucky to be able to follow Sister Xiuxiu and be able to work on your own project so quickly. As far as I know, you are the first one of our interns to work on their own project. Really? I envy you so much.”

"I just have better luck, it's nothing."

Jiang Xiaoguo said modestly, and Li Tianyang smiled and said:

"Good luck is also your strength. As angel investors, luck is also very important."

"What you said makes sense, let's work hard together."

"Well, let's do our best together."
