Chapter 269 - Planning a Few Surprises (1/2)
After the matters in Capital City had all settled, Li Qin Yao and her husband had returned to Y City and she has been busy reviewing a few documents and the site progress for the past few days.
Fortunately, as her investors mentioned that they have complete trust in her, the project in B City was progressing despite a few hiccups. According to Liang Sheng, the construction workers had hesitated whether they should continue to work.
After they heard about the crisis, the workers were scared that later on, QL Group will have no money to pay their salary. Because of that, there was a two days delay on the project.
Liang Sheng had to convince them and coax them to return to work. After agreeing that QL Group will pay in advance half of their salary, the workers then agreed to continue and work.
When Li Qin Yao visited the site yesterday, she was glad to see that the workers were doing their best to catch up with their progress.
A knock sounded on her door and soon, Liang Sheng walked in with a few documents in his hand. He placed the document on the table and waited as Li Qin Yao scanned through the documents and signed it.
”I'm going to clock out earlier today,” Li Qin Yao announced as she closed the file and slid it on the table back to Liang Sheng.
”Something happened?”
”Hmm,” Li Qin Yao smiled, but did not offer any other explanation.
Once the clock struck twelve, it will be her husband's birthday. As this will be the first time for her to celebrate his birthday together, Li Qin Yao was planning a few surprises. She wanted to come back earlier and bake a cake. Then, when the time comes, she wished to be the first person who wishes and celebrate his birthday together.
Seeing that his boss had not offered him any explanation, Liang Sheng knew right away that it might be a personal matter. He picked up the documents on the table and slid an envelope to Li Qin Yao.
”What is this?” Li Qin Yao took the envelope and peered inside.
”LUX Group is holding a banquet next week to celebrate their twentieth anniversary,” Liang Sheng said. ”Would you like to attend?”
Li Qin Yao glanced at the invitation card and nodded. ”LUX Group has been in the industry for years and they had a good reputation. Since it will be their twentieth anniversary, they should be inviting their clients and business partners to come as well. It will be a waste not to go. I can use this chance to get to know a few people.” She looked at Liang Sheng and continued, ”Tell them that I will attend the banquet with my husband.”
Liang Sheng nodded before he left the office.
Once he had left, Li Qin Yao gathered her belongings and pulled out the parcel that Han Yue Xiu had sent over to her office when she had accompanied her to shop for Zhang Yu Han's birthday gift.
Li Qin Yao peered into the box to look at the condition of the gift and paused when she noticed a small foreign parcel inside. Curiously, Li Qin Yao picked up the parcel and saw Han Yue Xiu's handwriting on the card.
'For Yao Yao. Additional present. In case you might need it.'
Li Qin Yao took out the contents and felt her face burned at the sight of the sheer lingerie along with something that resembles cat ears and tail.
