As soon as Hong Wu heard Ye Chen say that he should prepare pure water, he immediately said, "Master Ye, do you want me to brew some good Ming Qian Long Jing and send it over? They were all picked from Suhang just two days ago and sent to Jinling, they are very good."
Hong Wu obviously did not know why Ye Chen asked himself to prepare pure water, so Ye Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Don't go to such trouble, just prepare pure water directly."
After saying that, Ye Chen spoke again, "Oh yes, by the way, prepare a fruit knife for me."
Although Hong Wu was unsure, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay Master Ye, I'll go and prepare it and send it over right away!"
Mr and Mrs Gu Yanzhong and Gu Qiuyi were also confused as to why Ye Chen wanted pure water and a fruit knife, but they didn't ask any questions.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen said with a smile, "Uncle Gu, Auntie Lin, and Nui Nui, let's sit down first!"
"Good!" Gu Yanzhong laughed and said, "Chen'er, today is your birthday, uncle is so happy, we must have a drink!"
Ye Chen nodded his head without hesitation and said, "No problem, Uncle Gu! I'll drink with you as much as you want!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to open a bottle of Maotai and poured two glasses for himself and Gu Yanzhong.
Gu Qiuyi also hurriedly opened the Romanee Conti red wine and slowly poured it into the wine dispenser while saying to Ye Chen, "Brother Ye Chen, I have a performance tonight, so I can't drink too much, I'll toast you and my parents later, so I won't drink more.
Ye Chen laughed: "It doesn't matter, drinking more won't delay your business."
Gu Qiuyi spat out her tongue, "The performance tonight is so important, I dare not make any mistakes, if I drink too much and go crazy on stage, it doesn't matter if I make a joke, but if I ruin the performance, it will be over."
Ye Chen patted his chest and promised, "Nui Nui, just trust me and drink to your heart's content, I'll never let you interfere with anything."
Gu Qiuyi hesitated for a moment, but once she thought that Ye Chen never said anything irresponsible, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, if I delay the performance or make a joke, I'll be stuck with you."
Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Just put your mind at ease."
Gu Qiuyi asked Lin Wanqiu, who was beside her, "Mum, do you want some wine too?"
Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "It's such a happy occasion for Chen's birthday, so of course I have to drink some."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen and said apologetically, "Chen'er, auntie is a little tired lately, so she may not be able to drink as much as she usually does."
Ye Chen nodded and asked with concern, "Auntie Lin, you are not in good shape because of your recent work, right?"
Gu Yanzhong, who was beside him, said with emotion, "Yes! Ever since I cleared out the threats inside and outside the group, your Auntie Lin has been helping me with the company's affairs. Although my two younger brothers are much more honest, after the previous incident, I can hardly trust them 100%, so I dare not give them important work, and now I am suffering from the lack of trustworthy staff, so your Auntie Lin has to work harder."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Wanqiu and thanked her, "Wife, it's been really hard for you this time."
