Chapter 30: Chapter 30: What Glows is Not Necessarily Divine
Qi Yue: “… !”
She had accidentally spoken her mind!
“Ah, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry! That was just a figurative way of expressing gratitude, don’t mind it! What I mean is, I really, really, really appreciate you so much! I don’t know how to thank you enough. By the way, do you have anything you like? I’d like to express my gratitude!”
Qi Yue felt that since someone had helped her out so much, it was only right to offer thanks.
“Actually, no thanks are needed. You won by your own merits,” Gu Huai said.
“That won’t do, the prize is a bit too… too beyond what I expected, and I feel unsettled. Let me just show my appreciation!” Qi Yue insisted.
“Are you sure about the gift?”
“Yes!”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Huai seemed to ponder for a moment.
After a while, he spoke, “Okay, but, I’m not sure what I want right now. President Qi, do you have time tonight? Take me shopping in a mall?”
“Ah, shopping at the mall! Yes yes yes! I’m free tonight, anytime works for me; you set the time!”
Qi Yue was now completely willing to accommodate Gu Huai, as if she would agree to anything he asked for, even the impossible.
“Good, then let’s make it six o’clock, I should be done by then here.”
“No problem! Are you at the old campus? I’ll come pick you up!”
Gu Huai chuckled, “That would be great, thanks, President Qi.”
For some reason, whenever Gu Huai called her “President Qi,” it always gave off a gentle yet lingering sense of flirtation.
It really made her feel as if she were some domineering CEO about to pick up her secretary after work to go shopping for gifts…
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yue excitedly dashed over and gave Song Qiuqiu a big hug: “Qiuqiu——”
Song Qiuqiu couldn’t help laughing at Qi Yue’s exaggerated reaction. “I heard it. Now you can see Potato on the rainy days! Look how happy you are… ”
One might think the big boss had just agreed to be her boyfriend…
“I told Gu Huai I wanted to thank him and give him a small gift to show my appreciation. I’ve arranged to go shopping together tonight. What do you think I should buy for him?” Qi Yue asked, seeking Song Qiuqiu’s advice.
She was indeed clueless in this area. The watch she previously gave Chu Mufan had also been chosen by Song Qiuqiu.
Song Qiuqiu thought for a moment, “Usually for guys, isn’t it those things? Like watches, ties, tie clips, sneakers, or maybe some electronic gadgets…
Of course, that’s for ordinary guys. As for a big shot, I’m at a loss after seeing his social circle. I felt like I had stumbled into a god’s sanctuary; I really dare not to guess his preferences…”
Qi Yue thought hard, “That’s true! Then we’ll just browse around and see. If all else fails, I’ll just let him choose…”
But where to take the big shot to buy gifts?
Qi Yue took out her phone, opened the browser, and started searching strategies: Coordinates A city, where to go for shopping for gifts with a secretary?
It was only after she finished typing that she realized she had actually typed “secretary”…
Yet, she did find several good places.
After deciding on the location, Qi Yue opened her social circle and happily updated her status: It turns out that not only gods can shine!
Not long after Qi Yue posted it, she refreshed the page and already had a like.
The like was from Gu Huai.
Gu Huai commented: What is that?
Qi Yue immediately typed back: You!
