Chapter 497: Four hundred ninety-two, even the child brings a congratulatory gift!_1
Tang Tang harbored an inexplicable yearning for such events.
Boss Gu was also uncertain whether Tang Tang’s interest stemmed from never having participated before,
or if she was genuinely curious about the affair.
"Going is fine, but first we need to tell Mom, otherwise she’ll be worried if she doesn’t see us,"
Boss Gu said to Tang Tang.
Since Tang Tang wanted to go, Boss Gu felt it was no problem to accompany her.
Upon hearing Boss Gu’s agreement, Tang Tang immediately showed great happiness.
"Dad! Then let’s hurry, let’s quickly tell Mom!" Tang Tang said to Boss Gu.
Then they quickly drove to Ji Pianran’s company.
Boss Gu felt it was necessary to inform Ji Pianran about this, to avoid her worrying later on.
After arriving at Ji Pianran’s company, Boss Gu briefed her on the matter.
Ji Pianran didn’t say much else, only asking Boss Gu to be careful and avoid any incidents on the road.
Having reported the situation, Boss Gu then directly took Tang Tang to her classmate’s residence.
Boss Gu thought to himself that the kids’ birthday party probably wouldn’t be too extravagant.
On one hand, many people don’t have a high income, and on the other, even if they do, it’s of little use.
Since there were no services specifically for birthday parties available anyway.
Thus, people generally approached such events with normal expectations.
They drove for nearly half an hour,
eventually arriving at a villa district after twists and turns.
Boss Gu had not expected Tang Tang’s classmate to actually live in a villa.
Villas in Chuan City were not cheap at the moment, and even without a rise in housing prices, they were not affordable for ordinary people.
"Dad! It’s number sixteen, don’t get it wrong," Tang Tang reminded Boss Gu from the side.
Upon hearing this, Boss Gu drove straight to villa number sixteen.
When they arrived at the villa’s entrance, Boss Gu saw that there were indeed many guests.
The cars were parked one after another at the door.
The villa’s yard was also bustling with a considerable crowd.
Among them was a man in a suit whose eyes lit up upon seeing Boss Gu’s car approaching.
He then proactively came over with a wine glass to welcome them.
As Tang Tang and Boss Gu got out of the car, the man quickly deduced they were here for the birthday party.
So he took the initiative to approach them.
Boss Gu looked at the man coming towards him with a welcoming gaze.
"Hello, hello, welcome!" the man greeted enthusiastically.
He then reached out to shake hands with Boss Gu.
"I am Qi Qi’s parent," he told Boss Gu.
"I am Tang Tang’s dad. I heard there was a classmate’s birthday party?
On the way here, I casually picked up a small gift to celebrate," Boss Gu said, then took out the gift he had bought on the road.
Of course, he wouldn’t show up empty-handed; he wasn’t foolish.
Although it was just a child’s birthday party,
if a family had the ability to host such a so-called birthday party, then it certainly wasn’t an ordinary household.
So bringing a gift was not just for the child but also as a courtesy to the adults of the household.
The gifts Boss Gu selected were simple: a ten-gram gold bracelet he purchased en route and a bouquet of lilies from the Four Seasons Flower Shop.
The man was quite surprised to see the gifts Gu Chen had brought.
Because among those who came to the birthday party today, very few had prepared gifts.
And even if they had prepared gifts, they were all just very ordinary toys, frankly just for kids to play with.
But the gift from Gu Chen was different—the jewelry store’s packaging box was clearly visible.
Giving such a valuable gift, it must have cost at least nearly a thousand yuan.
An ordinary family really couldn’t afford to spend that much money.
You could tell that Gu Chen placed great importance on this birthday party, which made him very happy inside.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the money, but because of the way Gu Chen gave the gift.
"Tang Tang, go find Qi Qi, she’s right inside the house. Just make yourself at home," he said, looking down at Tang Tang.
At this moment, the most direct and effective form of reciprocation was the way of hospitality.
But! This hospitality was not for Gu Chen, but for Tang Tang.
For a parent, nothing is important, the child is the most important thing.
So as long as the child is happy, nothing else matters.
After hearing this, Tang Tang also very politely said, "Thank you, uncle!"
Then she ran straight towards the house.
The remaining people in the yard were the parents of the children.
"Tang Tang’s parent, there are quite a few people here today. If there’s any lack of hospitality, please forgive me," he said to Gu Chen.
"It doesn’t matter, such birthday parties are rare, and I’ve never attended one before,
Just occasionally I’ve seen them in magazines.
Qi Qi’s parent is really avant-garde and fashionable, sacrificing so much for the child, truly a rare good parent," he said to Qi Qi’s father. In fact, his words were not much different from saying one thing and meaning another.
In this situation, one should be extra polite to the host.
"Actually, it’s not much, as long as the child is happy, anything goes.
Tang Tang’s parent, the flowers you brought look very familiar to me, it seems I’ve seen them recently on TV.
It’s from a flower shop that Mr. Guo Rong visited in Chuan City. If I’m not mistaken, the flower shop should be called Four Seasons Flower Shop," he said.
He was suddenly making a point about the flowers Gu Chen brought.
Gu Chen hadn’t expected he would actually know about his Four Seasons Flower Shop.
"Yes, it’s indeed from Four Seasons Flower Shop," Gu Chen nodded.
"I’ve heard that Mr. Guo Rong is particularly fond of the flowers there.
Recently, quite a few people in Chuan City have been visiting that flower shop.
The flowers from that shop seem to be not cheap, costing fifty-eight yuan a bundle, a price many people can’t afford.
Tang Tang’s parent must have taken quite some effort to get these flowers," he said to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen simply smiled in response; Qi Qi’s father was indeed a clever man.
Dealing with such a person is much easier because a lot of things can be implied and there’s no need to say too much.
"You’re too kind, that Four Seasons Flower Shop is a small business I run.
It’s an honor to be appreciated by everyone.
So bringing out these flowers was not that much trouble."
Gu Chen was being upfront, admitting that the Four Seasons Flower Shop was indeed his own.
Because Qi Qi’s parent’s previous question almost outright asked if Gu Chen owned the Four Seasons Flower Shop himself.
"So that means you are the Boss Gu that Mr. Guo Rong mentioned?" Qi Qi’s parent asked, somewhat astounded.
"Boss Gu is truly accomplished at a young age, and there really aren’t many flower shops in Chuan City."
