Speaking of this, Tasha suddenly remembered something, and said mysteriously: “Hey, Sara, do you know that Zhifei, just made a public decision on the Internet…”
Sara hurriedly asked: “What decision?”
Tasha said seriously: “This guy I don’t know if his brain is kicked by a donkey. He suddenly announced that tomorrow morning, he will set off from Aurous Hill to the Jokhang Temple in the southwest.”
“It will be a three-step kowtow and a kowtow all the way. This is four thousand-kilometer roads!”
Sara asked in astonishment: “Is he crazy? Why did he suddenly make such a strange decision?”
Tasha said: “This is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that this guy actually scolded his grandfather and dad, saying that they were sinful, and went on a pilgrimage to help them wash away their sins. Do you say this person is mad? Can a normal person do such a brainless thing?”
“Besides, tomorrow is your concert. This guy has been busy for so long and spent so much effort just waiting for this concert?”
“If he says, he will leave for the Jokhang Temple early tomorrow morning, he certainly didn’t plan to watch the concert that night.”
Sara also felt very puzzled. Although she was not familiar with this man, these situations were indeed very different from his style of acting, which made her very surprised.
In doubt, she suddenly thought of Charlie, so she quickly took out her mobile phone and sent him a WeChat message: “Charlie, does Zhifei’s matter have anything to do with you?”
Charlie received the WeChat content and replied to her with a dog-headed expression, plus four characters: “What do you think?”
Sara sent a face with a smirk covering her mouth, and also replied with four words: “It must be you!”
Charlie didn’t deny it either, and replied: “This guy has played a bit too much. After I sent you to the stadium today, he asked his people to investigate my license plate number.”
“He even went to the Emgrand Group to perform a big show just to see me. On the one hand, so I gave him a little punishment.”
Sara made an angry expression, and then said: “Why is this guy investigating your license plate number? Is it because he saw me getting off your car?”
“It should be.” Charlie said with a smile: “Maybe he has been in love with you secretly, so he has been dazzled.”
Sara didn’t know that Charlie punished Zhifei mainly because he wanted to investigate Claire’s BMW.
In her opinion, the reason why he punished Zhifei was that he attaches great importance to her deep in his heart, and even had protected her as private property, so naturally, he did not want to let men like Zhifei to come to entangle with her.
Originally, she was a very independent young woman, and she had always scorned the machismo that women are accessories of men.
However, since the reunion between her and Charlie, the big woman thinking in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Her biggest wish right now is to be able to stand by Charlie’s side, being collected, cared for, and even occupied by him like a precious private item.
Therefore, even though she felt deep in her heart that Charlie had been a little bit heavier in punishing Zhifei for her, but her heart was still full of a different kind of happiness.
So, she replied with shame:
“Fortunately, I have decided to quit the entertainment circle after this concert. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people will be taken to the southwest by Charlie for a pilgrimage…”
Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t you leave the entertainment circle without someone like Zhifei harassing you?”
Sara said earnestly: “After I quit the entertainment industry, I will be ready to take over from my dad. When that happens, I will be a lady at home every day, and I will devote myself to my career when I go out.”
After that, she said again: “But if I can get married sooner, it doesn’t matter if I take over dad’s shift later. If my hard-working dad retire later, I will give you two or three children.”
“Anyway, my father is in very good health now, and I don’t think it will matter if he has been working for another ten years!”
Charlie was a little embarrassed when he heard Sara say that she was going to give birth to two or three children very frankly, so he simply changed the subject and asked her:
“By the way, when will Uncle and Auntie arrive tomorrow?”
She replied: “They should be around eleven in the morning.”
“Okay.” Charlie said: “Then tomorrow at nine o’clock, I will pick you up from the hotel, and then we will go to the airport together.”
Sara immediately replied excitedly: “Okay! Then I’ll wait for you at that time!”
Charlie ended the conversation with Sara. When he put away his mobile phone and walked back to the villa, his wife Claire was chatting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law on the sofa.
Seeing him coming in, she hurriedly asked: “My husband, tomorrow is your birthday. I just discussed it with my parents.”
“I will come back early tomorrow afternoon and make a big meal with my parents at home. We are a family of four. We will celebrate your birthday at home, okay?”
Charlie smiled and said: “It’s okay, just have something casually, don’t be so troublesome.”
“How can you say that?” Claire said earnestly: “This is your first birthday after moving to a new house. It must be a little grander!”
Elaine also hurriedly said: “Yes, good son-in-law, you are the pillar of our family, we are celebrating your birthday, it must be more grandiose!”
Jacob said with some shame:
“Charlie, you and Claire have been married for four years. In these four years, your mother and I haven’t given you a birthday celebration. I’m really ashamed!”
“Yeah!” Elaine also hurriedly said: “Because I haven’t given you a birthday party before, I just wanted to give it to you this time.”
“I originally suggested going out to eat, so I decided directly to go to the best hotel in Aurous Hill.”
“But later I realized that it’s more meaningful to celebrate the birthday at home. I think it’s the same.”
“Birthdays are definitely the most warmth at home. So tomorrow, the three of us will give you a good birthday banquet. I will give you a warm and unforgettable birthday!”
Charlie couldn’t help feeling a little moved when he heard this.
It’s not because of Elaine’s attitude. After all, she has always recognized money, not the people.
What really moved him was Claire’s intentions.
Celebrating a birthday at home is definitely harder than going to a restaurant to eat ready-made food. His wife can have this kind of heart, which proves that she really is waiting for his birthday.
Moreover, in the past few years, when he had nothing to do and was very unwelcome at home, she would still remember his birthday, and would always quietly buy a cake and drag him out to find a place that she can afford. At a lowkey restaurant, two people would eat a meal quietly.
Thinking back to this, he was grateful for Claire’s persistence over the past few years.
At this time, Claire said to him: “My husband, tomorrow I have to go to the old town. I will go to the construction site of the Emgrand Group at noon.”
“In the afternoon, I will be back early, about four o’clock to start preparations. For dinner, you will eat less at noon tomorrow and save your stomach for a big meal at night.”
“Let’s start early in the evening. After your birthday, we will go to see Sara’s concert!”
Charlie nodded and smiled: “No problem at all!”
After speaking, he checked the time and said: “Claire, you will watch TV with your parents for a while, and I will take a shower.”
“Okay.” she nodded, and when Charlie came upstairs, he suggested to Jacob and Elaine: “Mom and Dad, let’s stay until 12 o’clock in the morning. This time we all can wish Charlie together his birthday for the first time.”
“Okay!” Elaine clapped her hands and said, “I will wait until twelve o’clock, and say happy birthday to my good son-in-law!”
Jacob naturally didn’t have any comments, but he kept sighing with emotion: “Oh! Thinking about the attitude towards Charlie in the past few years, I still feel uncomfortable as a dad…”
Elaine, who was on the side, didn’t think about it. She just kept chanting, “I don’t know if this good son-in-law is celebrating his birthday. Will his customers come to give him gifts?”
“Last time at the new year, those people didn’t give away fewer things, all kinds of rare and precious treasures, it’s really blinding!
Claire helplessly said: “Mom…what are you thinking about here…the things that those people gave Charlie, to be honest, I’ve always been a little worried, I hope they don’t bring such things again in the future.”
“You are afraid for no reason.” Elaine waved her hand indifferently:
“My good son-in-law is now a Feng Shui master. What rich people like to do most is to honor Feng Shui masters. The money given by rich people somewhere to such a master was in billions, which is amazing!”
Jacob said solemnly: “That guy is a big liar, didn’t he get caught later?”
Elaine curled her lips and said, “What does it matter to my good son-in-law? He shows feng shui to others, that’s all true talents!”
As she said, Elaine continued with emotion: “Didn’t they still give my son-in-law a luxury yacht?”
“My legs and feet are not very convenient. I have never had the opportunity to experience it on a yacht. I feel regretful when I think of it. …”
Jacob opened his mouth and said, “The weather hasn’t really warmed up yet. Go on a yacht to feel the northwest wind on the sea? I want to go too but wait till Qingming Festival.”
Elaine’s eyes lit up, and she blurted out, “That’s good! After the Festival, I would be able to remove plaster from my leg too!”
After finishing speaking, she quickly said to Claire: “Claire, when that happens, you remember to remind Charlie, let him take us out on the yacht!”
After Charlie came out of the shower, seeing his wife Claire hadn’t returned to the room, he put on his pajamas and went to the living room again.
In the living room, the family of three was chatting happily.
Jacob and Elaine, the old friends who had been arguing about separating, unexpectedly stopped pouncing at each other.
Charlie came down and asked curiously: “Claire, Dad, Mom. Why don’t you go back to your room to rest?”
Claire hurriedly got up, ran over to take Charlie’s arm, and said with a smile:
“My parents said they want to stay awake, your 27th birthday is less than two hours away. Everyone is waiting to wish you a happy birthday!”
Charlie smiled knowingly, and said, “Thank you, wife, thank you, parents.”
Elaine immediately flattered and said, “Oh my son-in-law, what you and doing with your mother so politely, it is really too strange.”
After finishing speaking, she immediately asked: “By the way, my son-in-law, tomorrow is your birthday. Will your customers come to our house to give you gifts like the one time at New Year?”
Charlie was startled. He didn’t know whether Issac and the others would come to give him gifts.
However, he did have some headaches about the scene of queuing to take gifts, so he made up his mind to say to Issac after a while and asked him to ask some other people, if he really wishes to prepare gifts for him, he would ask him to not do it or deliver home.
So while he took out his mobile phone to send Issac WeChat, he said to Elaine, “Mom, the reason why they came to give gifts during the New Year is mainly that I helped them a lot last year, so they concentrated on coming over at the end of the year to say thank you.”
“They will definitely not come on my birthday, after all, people’s money is not brought by the wind.”
When Elaine heard this, she couldn’t help but said with a bit of disappointment on her face: “I thought they would come tomorrow too. If this is the case, then wait patiently until the end of this year.”
Claire on the side heard this and shook her head helplessly.
Afterward, it was rare for the family to sit together and chat quietly.
Both Claire and Jacob talked about their own work.
Although Claire has been very busy recently, she feels very fulfilling.
Although she has been working for so many years before, she has been working in the Willson Group before.
Not only did she have to be blinded by the old lady, she was also constantly squeezed out by her cousins. That kind of work was very awkward and it was difficult to perform with her own Strengths and abilities.
Now that she works for herself after starting her own business, she can naturally sweep away the previous haze, and since the start of her business, she has received a lot of support and help from the Emgrand Group.
Therefore, she has gradually found a sense of success in her career and feels energetic every day with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
As for Jacob, he has made considerable progress in the Calligraphy and Painting Association recently.
He is now the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, the second-in-command of the standard, and has a little fame and influence in small circles.
He happily introduced to his family: “Recently, our Aurous Hill City is actively building the image of a historical and cultural city.”
“The city has allocated a lot of funds to support the cultural field. Because of this, my painting and calligraphy association has recently won subsidies from local governments, it will get better and better in the future.”
“With government subsidies and help, our calligraphy and painting association is no longer just a hobby-based non-governmental interest group, but has become a semi-public and semi-private non-governmental charity organization!”
“Moreover, in this special subsidy from the government, all the full-time staff of the Painting and Calligraphy Association has been given a good salary. In the future, I will also have a fixed salary in the Painting and Calligraphy Association.”
Elaine asked curiously: “Oh, your calligraphy and painting association has started to pay you wages now?!”
Jacob said with an arrogant expression: “Not only pays but also a lot of other things!”
After that, he said again: “Look, as executive vice president, starting from this month, my monthly basic salary is 12,000 yuan, which is the second-highest in our entire painting and calligraphy association after President!”
Later, Jacob said again: “This is just the basic salary given to us by Aurous Hill City. In fact, many private enterprises have recently wanted to take up the business of cultural development, so they also donated a lot of funds to our Association.”
“They have a lot of matchmaking and resources, our association has successively undertaken many painting and calligraphy activities recently, so we will be very comfortable in the coming days.”
Elaine hurriedly asked: “Then you can make money even if you cooperate with private enterprises?”
“Of course!” Jacob said immediately: “Private enterprises have their own sponsorship, and each event will give us some transportation consulting fees.”
“I heard Chairman Pei calculate it. If two events are held a week, and all of us are present, it is estimated that we can get anywhere from 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan for an event.”
“Damn!” Elaine said in surprise: “Can one event earn so much?! That would be two games a week, eight games a month, and a 3,000 yuan per game, which would be more than 20,000! With a basic salary, wouldn’t it be possible to earn more than 30,000 a month?”
“Yeah.” Jacob nodded and said with a smile: “I used to wonder why so many people like to volunteer to participate in various associations and societies that are not paid.”
“Thinking that they are all seeking fame and face, but now I understand. It turns out that there are still a lot of ways in it, and if it is done well, there will be a lot of room for profit.
Elaine suddenly became interested, looked at Jacob, and asked in a flattering tone: “Jacob, when my legs are healed, can you get me into your calligraphy and painting association?”
“Arrange a part-time job and give me a salary. If there are any activities, I can also follow it. I am idle at home anyway.”
Speaking of this, she touched her right leg and sighed, “Hey, I have been too miserable for most of the year. I didn’t do anything. I stayed at home and raise my legs, but it made me feel bored.”
Jacob was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded her: “Oh, our association has long since stopped recruiting new members. Recently, there are dozens of people who want to come in line and are waiting for interviews and defenses.”
“You don’t know much about painting and calligraphy. If you want me to say, don’t toss about it. Wouldn’t it be okay to stay at home peacefully? When your legs are ready, you can walk around, or travel.”
To put it simply, he is thinking that she has ridiculed him for a long time. This b!tch, now wants to join the Calligraphy and Painting Association? Does she think he is mad?
However, he knew very well that at this time, when she was angry, he would have to go when he said such things, so he could only persuade her.
But even so, she was still a little dissatisfied, and coldly snorted: “What? Do you despise me? You can join the Calligraphy and Painting Association as the executive vice president, don’t even have the qualifications to be a member? Don’t think I am.”
“I don’t know what you are, the executive vice president. Isn’t it because of my good son-in-law?”
“Otherwise, your three sticks can’t show a f*rt character, and you would have long been squeezed out, waiting at the door of the Calligraphy and Calligraphy Institute. It is not your but a dog’s turn to become a vice president!”
Jacob’s face flushed suddenly, and he thought to himself: “This b!tch is really right. I was almost squeezed out at the beginning. Fortunately, Charlie gave me a lot of face.”
“When Pei saw Mr. Orvel treating me respectfully, he rushed to flatter me, and then gave me the position of executive vice-chairman, but Elaine’s words are too ugly, what kind of dog be the vice president in the association?”
As he was thinking, Elaine saw that he was silent, and immediately said: “Since you are unwilling to help me, I will ask my good son-in-law to help.”
“Maybe then I will be able to join. When the time comes, it will be a good story for a husband and wife file to be spread out!”
Jacob’s scared sphincter almost lost control.
He knew Charlie’s abilities. If Charlie really spoke, it wouldn’t be difficult to get Elaine a vice-chairman position.
In that case, if she haunts him every day, he will be over, and there will be no chance to develop with Meiqing.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: “Oh, my wife, you said that I’m in the upswing of my career. If they suddenly find your relationship with me. What would they think of me?”
“Wouldn’t they consider it nepotism? If you really support my cause, you have to take the initiative to avoid suspicion!”
Speaking of this, he saw Elaine’s expression become ugly, and immediately waved his hand, gritted his teeth, and said:
“This way, you don’t have to come to the association in the future. I will give you half of my salary. You can spend it on whatever you want?”
As soon as Elaine heard about the money, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: “No! You have to hand over all your salary to me!”
Jacob gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, spit out a word hardly: “Okay!”
Originally, the family was happily waiting for the arrival of twelve o’clock, but Jacob didn’t expect that he couldn’t hold back his mood and made a show of it, and Elaine would take away all his future income.
While he was heartbroken deep in his heart, he also began to reflect on why he repeatedly fell in front of her.
He discovered that Elaine has this ability.
It seems a simple-minded approach, only relying on shameless and violent energy, in fact, she can always find the most accurate point in him, grasp it and hold it tightly all at once.
Thinking back to the married life for more than 20 years, he felt desperate.
For more than 20 years, he had failed to win in front of this woman and had been eaten by her for half of his life. There was no room for resistance at all.
Seeing Jacob, Charlie was a little sad, while Elaine looked smug and sighed silently. He felt more and more that his father-in-law could not support the wall with mud.
This timid and fearful middle-aged man has limited ability, limited thinking, and can’t hide things in his heart, and he is especially easy to be complacent.
The bigger problem is that he has always lacked courage. According to this view, his wife’s nightmare is inevitable in this life for him.
Claire also noticed that her father was depressed, and quickly turned away from the subject, and said to Charlie:
“By the way, mom said that when her legs get better, she wants you to take her to experience the yachting. I don’t know if it’s inconvenient for you?”
“It’s convenient.” Charlie agreed casually, and said, “When Mom’s legs are better and the weather is warmer, let’s go out to sea.”
When Elaine heard this, her eyebrows were instantly pleased, and she kept saying: “Oh, that’s really great! I’m so old but I haven’t been on a private yacht yet!”
The happy Elaine blurted out again: “By the way, let’s sail out to sea, can we go all the way south and go to the South Island for a round?!”
Charlie nodded and said,
“No problem. It’s not far from the estuary to the South China Sea. Maximum, it’s only 2,000 kilometers. If you are on a yacht, you can arrive in two or three days at most.”
Elaine suddenly became excited and clapped her hands and said, “It’s great, great! I have never been to the South China Sea.”
“In the winter a few years ago, Mrs. Willson was going to the South China Sea to spend the winter at sea.”
“But she only took Noah every time with his family and never let us follow. When I think about it, I get angry!”
After speaking, she began to take out her mobile phone and studied the famous scenic spots and delicacies in that region.
The family chatted freely, and the time ticked to 12 o’clock in the morning.
At 11:59 p.m., Claire began to take out her mobile phone to count the seconds silently.
At 12 o’clock exactly, she put down her mobile phone and said softly to Charlie who was sitting next to her, “Husband, it is twelve o’clock, happy birthday to you!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Thank you, wife!”
Elaine also hurriedly joined: “Happy birthday, my good son-in-law! Mom wishes you wealth and great fortune in the future!”
Jacob was a little bit depressed, but still cheered up and said, “Charlie, Dad wishes you a happy birthday, every year you have today, and every year you have the presents that you wish for!”
Charlie thanked all of them one by one, and the phone began to vibrate constantly, receiving dozens of text messages and WeChat texts in a row.
He turned on the phone and saw that many friends sent messages of blessings to him at this time point. Needless to say, Issac, Orvel, and Qin Gang, Warnia, Aoxue, Zhovia, Elsa, Doris, and Nanako also sent their wishes and Happy birthday message to him.
In addition, Mr. Philip and his wife, Liona and Zhiyu the mother and daughter, Pollard and Melba, the father and daughter also sent messages of blessings and good wishes.
Charlie didn’t expect that even Wendy sent a blessing text message and thanked him for helping her during this time.
However, the one person Charlie didn’t expect most was his grandfather Zhongquan.
Even this old man kept awake till 12 o’clock and sent a message on time to wish him a happy birthday, but Charlie didn’t expect it.
And his aunt, Cynthia, who had been suffering in front of him, also sent a message, wishing him a happy birthday, and at the same time apologizing for her previous actions, hoping to be forgiven by him.
Claire was surprised to see that Charlie was constantly receiving lots of messages.
She didn’t look at the content of the information, and just guessed that the people who sent wishes should be his customers.
Elaine, who was sitting opposite, saw that Charlie was constantly receiving various messages, and couldn’t help but smile and said with emotion:
“Oh, my dear son-in-law, your popularity is really good now. There are so many people who kept till 12 o’clock to wish you a birthday. They should all be your customers, so it seems that your business this year will definitely be better than last year!”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Actually, they are all old customers. It’s just that they have become friends with me after a long time.”
With that, he replied thank you one by one to all the people who sent the message, even if it was Cynthia, he politely replied the two words thank you.
Afterwards, he said to Jacob and Elaine: “Parents, it’s too early. Please go back to your room and rest.”
Elaine nodded and yawned: “Oh, I’m really a little sleepy. I can’t stand it at this age.”
After speaking, she turned to Jacob and said, “Help me and take me back to the room.”
Jacob did not dare to say anything, and reached out to help her up, and accompanied her into the elevator.
Seeing the two of them enter the elevator, Claire couldn’t help asking Charlie:
“Husband, do you think my parents can recover as before?”
Charlie chuckled twice: “Who can be right about this kind of thing.”
Claire asked in a low voice,
“What’s the situation between Dad and Aunt Meiqing? Last time Dad cried so much in the car, I was too embarrassed to ask him about these things…”
Charlie smiled slightly and said: “I haven’t been aware of this matter recently, but I feel that I will see the result soon.
Claire asked nervously, “Husband, what do you mean by saying that you will see the result soon?”
Charlie thought of Pollard, and said calmly: “I still can’t say this, but if there is any result, I will tell you as soon as possible.”
Claire nodded helplessly: “Well then…”
