The orders from the eighteen stores went to Lin Lu just like that.
—— "Ordered in person."
Cheng Zhu had mentioned that he was going to give her a big gift to take home. It was obvious that the gift was indeed big!
"Daddy’s birthday, I definitely need to show my appreciation!" the cunning man thought to himself.
At that moment, Lin Lu was dazed from the kissing.
Cheng Zhu had already realized that Baby Lu was not good at handling kisses.
And her dazed expression after being kissed, with a hint of confusion, made her even more adorable.
A few seconds later, she snapped out of it and thought Cheng Zhu was really annoying for doing this.
What do you mean by such a big order, all kissed out by me bite by bite?
Hmph! If you dare, come here, I can still kiss you, kiss you until you’re broke!
Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu’s flushed little face and her breathing lips, and almost couldn’t resist teasing her again.
"Let’s go, we’re still in the parking lot, someone might come soon!" The rational Lin Lu immediately shrank back into her seat and started buckling her seatbelt.
Very well, the two-ball dividing line created again brought a small visual shock.
Cheng Zhu started the car and drove Lin Lu back to Xinhang Apartment.
"Bye-bye!" After they arrived, Lin Lu unbuckled her seatbelt and said goodbye to Cheng Zhu.
The spirited, quirky girl, as usual, kissed her boyfriend goodbye, saying, "Ha! Now you owe me a store!"
Cheng Zhu laughed and played along, "Just for today; we can’t keep counting ! Otherwise, with all this kissing, I’d have to open how many stores around the world!"
Lin Lu got out of the car, clearly in a particularly good mood today.
Being with Cheng Zhu always made her exceptionally happy.
His little tricks were just too numerous, like the scenes that had just unfolded in the car, providing full emotional value.
Little Lu was now pumped up. She had snagged orders for 18 stores in one go, all in high-end malls, all large stores, and both the design and renovation budgets were high.
With this performance, she could probably walk sideways in the company this month, right?
"I’m going to surprise Ms. Meng!" Little Lu couldn’t wait any longer.
Today was the birthday of Lin’s mother, Meng Yue, and Lin Lu picked a high-class, photogenic restaurant for the family to celebrate Meng Yue’s birthday together.
At five in the afternoon, Lin Lu was the first to arrive at the restaurant.
Inside the small private room, she had arranged some simple decorations, hiring a florist to decorate, all paid for with the money she earned from her voice-over jobs.
The cost of decoration added to the gift, also amounted to a significant number.
"Ugh, Ms. Meng’s birthday comes-up once, and my part-time income for the year is basically used up," Little Lu thought.
"Clearly, I’m the one in this family who values Mom’s birthday the most," the cheeky girl started boasting again.
"Lin Qi always says he’ll get good grades for Mom’s birthday gift, but he never improves year after year."
"As for Old Lin, mention him even less. He only ever brings out a bottle of expensive red wine at home, then opens it to drink."
"Meng Yue is so envious of having such a wonderful daughter."
She looked around at the floral arrangements in the private room, thinking how great the photos of her mom would turn out later.
Since she was idle anyway, Lin Lu also recorded a short video in the private room and sent it to Cheng Zhu, sweeping the camera around while saying, "How about it, isn’t the decoration beautiful?"
Soon, she received a reply from Cheng Zhu, "Got it, so you like floral arrangements, I’ll set one up for you on your next birthday."
"Oh, that’s not what I meant," Lin Lu typed.
But reading his words, her heart still felt a little touched.
After chatting with Cheng Zhu a bit more, her parents and younger brother finally arrived fashionably late.
As Meng Yue entered the private room, she exclaimed in an exaggerated tone and manner, "Wow! This is too beautiful, did you do this, Lu Lu?"
"Humph! Of course, it was me!" Little Lu boastfully claimed, "This family can’t function without me!"
She looked up at her younger brother Lin Qi and her father Lin Dong, sure enough, one came empty-handed, and the other held a bottle of his favorite red wine.
"She felt the two of them weren’t as reliable as Cheng Zhu," Lin Lu assessed internally.
After Meng Yue sat down, she took off her coat.
Today she was wearing a fitting black turtleneck sweater paired with a sweater chain.
She was over forty but maintained herself exceptionally well, almost looking like a woman in her early thirties.
Sitting next to her daughter, someone could believe they were sisters.
Aside from having a youthful face, Meng Yue’s figure was also excellent, maintaining a slim figure, not at all like a mother of two children.
The slightly bulging area was highlighted distinctly by the fitting sweater, with Lin Lu undoubtedly inheriting her mother’s advantages.
But Meng Yue carried an additional mature charm.
During the meal, the family of four had a great time.
Girls like Lin Lu were mostly surrounded by love as they grew up.
Thus, her personality was very different from Shen Qingning, who lost her mother early and whose father was a proud old man.
Of course, she was also very different from women like Chen Jieyu, who grew up in a nuclear family.
At the dining table, she could joke around with her parents.
While many people’s parents are not so approachable...
Don’t forget, Lin Lu’s chance encounter with Cheng Zhu initially happened when Old Lin pulled her to watch the World Cup. Then, taking heed of Ningning’s advice, she blindly bet 2000 yuan, and it turned out to earn her a little money, surprising her old dad profoundly.
