Cheng Liu put down the phone and carefully went over the conversation she had with the staff just now. The gift did not necessarily need to be expensive, but it must express her affection.
So what gift could express her deep affection?
Cheng Liu thought about it, but she still couldn’t come up with an answer. In the end, she could only pick up her mobile phone, open Taobao1, and type a few words in the search box: [Gifts for love more than gold.]
In the next second, a series of products appeared on the interface, and two gifts in particular caught her attention.
One was a stainless steel plaque, and the other was a brick that said ‘rock solid’.
These two gifts were absolutely true!
One never would never rust, and the other was heavy enough.
At that time, Young President Cheng’s heart was moved.
But…
Cheng Liu clicked on the product details and looked carefully, but she was still not satisfied!
The stainless steel plaque wasn’t shiny enough, and the price was really too cheap, so it wasn’t good enough for her boyfriend.
Slab bricks were also not good, not to mention the fact that they were also too cheap, if they somehow get dropped and fell on the ground, then there was a risk of it breaking in two.
Her gift should represent the rock-solid relationship between her and her boyfriend. If it really broke like that, didn’t that mean that the relationship between the two of them could also be broken?
No, absolutely not.
Cheng Liu stared at the product page for a long time, using her talent for drawing inferences from one instance to another, and finally made a decision. She now knew what gift she should give.
She got up immediately and strode out of the office.
He Bai looked up from the computer screen and saw Cheng Liu. She had only been in her office for more than ten minutes. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the bank,” Cheng Liu said and hurried out of the company without looking back.
… …
Half an hour later, Cheng Liu was sitting in the VIP room of a certain bank, opposite the president of the bank.
After listening to Cheng Liu’s request, the president’s delicate face showed signs of discomfiture but years of high-standard professionalism allowed her to forcefully maintain her composure, so she asked again, “Are you sure about this?”
“Very sure,” Cheng Liu nodded.
She was a private customer of the bank, and Shenyin Technology was also a large loan holder of the bank. Generally, the bank gave priority treatment to Cheng Liu’s business, and the person who directly dealt with her requests was the president of the bank herself.
The president sat across from Cheng Liu, made a few phone calls, and then explained to her with a professional smile, “President Cheng, our bank’s stock of real money may not be enough, and we need to transfer it from the head office. In addition, the… money you requested, the plaque and the two gold bricks need to be crafted by a master, so it may take a little longer.”
“When will it be ready?” Cheng Liu asked.
The bank president said, “We can give it to you on the morning of the 6th.”
“Okay, then I’ll pick it up on the morning of the 6th.” Cheng Liu took out her card and swiped it, signed the contract, and got up to leave.
The president stood up and looked at Cheng Liu, hesitating to speak.
“Is there anything else?” Cheng Liu noticed her hesitation and stopped to ask her.
“President Cheng, why did you think of giving such a gift to your boyfriend?” The president finally couldn’t help asking.
The president has been in the bank for twenty years and has seen all kinds of people. She has also received a lot of wealthy people with their own eccentricities. She always thought that Cheng Liu was a normal young woman who acted properly, but she didn’t expect that she would be bombastic if she ever fell in love.
“The golden and heavy solid gold plaque is engraved with our rock-solid emotions. After we get married, this gold plaque can still be hung in the center of the living room. As for the two gold bricks, it is my wish for our future.” Girlfriend Cheng Liu was full of enthusiasm; she looked at the president and said, “And the gold is pure like our feelings, not fancy at all.”
The president heard the words and doubted life. Solid gold was pure? Not fancy?
“President, don’t you think so?” Cheng Liu asked in surprise when she saw that her expression was not right.
“… It’s really very pure,” the president agreed with a practiced eight-teeth smile. She couldn’t possibly interfere with the customer’s aesthetics, especially if the other party was the largest customer of their bank.
Cheng Liu was very satisfied with the president’s response, and she couldn’t wait to get the gift on the sixth.
The president sent her to the door, and Cheng Liu suddenly remembered something, “Don’t forget to hang big red flowers on the gold plaque.”
“Red… flowers?” The president couldn’t react for a while.
“It’s the kind of big red flowers that the ancients used for marriage in TV dramas. Please help me source one and hang it on the gold plaque.” Cheng Liu stretched out her hand to hold the president’s, her expression deadly serious, “My future happiness is in your hands. Make sure to do it well.”
The president hesitated: “…wouldn’t it be too festive?”
“What I want is celebration,” Cheng Liu said firmly. Then she said full of sincerity, “When I get married, I will definitely invite the president to be a witness.”
“This is simply what our bank should do,” the president said, a little flattered that she had received such a big promise from President Cheng; she would definitely make sure to complete the target tasks.
Cheng Liu walked out of the bank feeling refreshed and returned to the company.
This time, the problem in her heart was solved, and she worked with all her energy and concentration.
… …
Sometime later, He Bai knocked on the door, came in, and walked to the front of Cheng Liu’s desk, “Let’s go eat.”
Cheng Liu put down the document report in her hand, looked up at the time: it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
“You haven’t eaten yet?” Cheng Liu stood up, “Next time, go by yourself, don’t wait for me.”
“I was dealing with something just now, and I forgot.” He Bai explained casually, and he turned sideways to open the office door for Cheng Liu, “What do you want to eat today?”
“Just look at what’s in the cafeteria.” Cheng Liu walked in front, lowered her head towards her mobile phone, and sent a message to her boyfriend.
Number six: [Have you eaten yet? Don’t forget to eat, it’s not good for the stomach. ]
In the model industry, it can be guessed that people’s diet was also irregular.
Although Cheng Liu often forgets to order meals herself, she was too resistant, naturally energetic, and had a physique that was different from ordinary people. In this industry that promoted a workaholic, unhealthy lifestyle, her annual health checkup report made the doctor look at her in awe.
Her boyfriend did not reply.
That’s normal, he should be busy with work—Cheng Liu can understand, and she comforted herself in her heart.
