Chapter 89 - Better Quality (2/2)
”So Lena Shen has heard of me?” She replied.
”How could I not?” They both shook each other's hand. ”You are a top movie director, and definitely the best female movie director.”
”I did say you would know of her.” Henry inquired.
Lena gently elbowed Henry. ”Aish… I didn't know you have this in you to attract such a wonderful lady! Make sure you keep her, you won't find anyone better than her, except me of course, but I won't take you in.”
”You are embarrassing me.” Henry was slightly blushing red from the comments.
”I won't tease you anymore. That was just payback for all the times you had teased me. Miss. Liu, I hope we can talk business next time.” Lena quickly left the two couples.
Lena spent the rest of the time walking around and chatting with several people. She got her daily gossip. She was also representing the entire Shen family here today so she had to converse with several businessmen.
She doesn't remember how many times they wanted her to meet their sons or grandsons.
It was time for opening the presents before they can eat. The family each presented their presents first then others can.
Mike Zhao presented his gift first because a few weeks ago, the Zhao family had already announced him as an official son of the Zhao family. They did not say that he was the firstborn or the next heir.
Mike Zhao walked up to Elder Zhao and kneeled down. He presented a big box for him. He opened the box.
”Grandfather, I did not know what you like, but I searched far and wide for this.”
”This is... ginseng?”
”Yeah, but not just any ordinary ginseng. It is very large and old ginseng.”
Mike quickly showed his present to the crowd. The ginseng was indeed bigger than most. The crowd was amazed.
”It must have cost him a lot!”
”He is such a thoughtful son!”
They continued to murmur compliments to Mike.
”I wish grandfather a happy birthday and many more years of a healthy life.”
”AHAHA..... Very good, very good.” Elder Zhao accepted the gift.
Because Sophia was with Mike, she also presented her gift. Her gift was an expensive French wine. Elder Zhao seemed pleased with both of them.
When it was Ming's turn, he walked up with a small box in his hand. Everyone was concerned about what was in that tiny box. Mike Zhao had presented something so grand, how can Ming present something so small?
”How can the young master Zhao gift his grandfather something so small?”
”Do you think he is too proud that he had been their only son for such a long time that he would still be favored regardlessly?”
The crowded continued to spouse some nonsense but Elder Zhao could clearly hear them. He cleared his throat loudly and everyone went silent.
Lena smiled from the crowd. 'Stupid people... a gift's value is not defined by its size but its quality.'
