EBE Chapter 162 Birthday Gift
Chapter 162 Birthday Gift
After eating the cake, the hotel manager led everyone to the garden with a smile on his face.
The garden is covered with green grass and colorful flowers, like a colorful painting.
A long table is placed steadily in the center, exuding a simple and elegant atmosphere under the sunlight.
After a while, dishes that were as exquisite as works of art were placed on the table one after another.
The attractive color and fragrant aroma stimulate everyone's appetite.
The leader was invited to sit at the head of the table with a kind smile.
Then Wang Qi, Zhao Gang and Nan Qiao took their seats one after another.
Wang Xiaoxuan sat opposite Nan Qiao, happily savoring the delicious dishes. The tender and juicy taste spreading on her tongue made her look satisfied.
She looked around, admiring the dreamlike beauty of the garden, and exclaimed sincerely: "The environment here is really beautiful!"
"Look at this grass, these flowers, and this fresh air. If I ever get married, I'll definitely hold my wedding on the grass here. It must be so beautiful."
After saying this, her eyes were full of longing, as if she had already seen herself wearing a white wedding dress and walking towards happiness in this garden.
Nan Qiao smiled and nodded, with a sincere light in her eyes, and said, "Then I'm already looking forward to your wedding."
"You are so beautiful and lovely. When you put on your wedding dress that day, you will be as beautiful as a fairy. You will be the happiest and most beautiful bride in the world."
"Haha Qiao Qiao, you are so good at praising people. I love you." Wang Xiaoxuan made a heart shape with her hands to Nan Qiao.
Everyone enjoyed their meal happily in this warm atmosphere, with laughter and chatter all around.
Before I knew it, the sky was like a piece of black silk, slowly covering the sky.
At this moment, the lights in the garden lit up one by one, and the soft light intertwined together, making the whole garden dreamy, as if it were in a fairy tale world.
Suddenly, a "whoosh" sound was heard in the distance. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky.
The brilliant colors illuminated the darkness, and one firework after another bloomed, forming clear big words in the sky - "Happy Birthday, Nan Qiao".
The colorful light reflected on everyone's surprised faces, and Nan Qiao was so moved that tears filled her eyes. This sudden surprise was like the brightest star in the night sky, embedded in this special day.
Compared to that cheerful place, the banquet hall here seemed to be shrouded in gloom, and the atmosphere was so gloomy and depressing that it was suffocating.
Pang Shi's face looked as ugly as death. In the past, his career had been smooth sailing, like a huge ship speeding on the calm sea, never encountering strong winds and huge waves.
But today, he suffered a severe setback here, as if falling from the clouds into a quagmire.
Pang Min sat aside, her cheeks pale and bloodless. She was silent, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul, and no one knew where her thoughts were drifting.
There was delicious food on the table. The exquisite presentation and tempting colors would normally make her happy, but now, she didn't even look at it.
This was the birthday party she had been looking forward to for a long time. She had been looking forward to it with great joy, but now it had turned into such a nightmare.
Everyone in the Lan family looked indifferent, and had no intention of paying any attention to Pang Shi and Pang Min, father and daughter.
From today's farce, any discerning person can see that Mayor Pang will definitely step down and his career will be ruined. At this time, trying to cling to connections will only make one bored and be meaningless.
The other officials in the banquet hall were on pins and needles, feeling anxious and uneasy.
They were afraid that their leaders would put them in the same category as Pang Shi and think that they were also here to cause trouble today.
Everyone regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. If they had known that things would turn out like this, they would never have come to this unfortunate birthday party.
I really didn’t check the almanac before going out. I’m so unlucky!
They wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, but at this moment, the banquet hall was surrounded by three layers of walls, like an iron barrel, and they were not allowed to take a single step out.
Just when the situation was at its most depressing, fireworks suddenly rang out outside the banquet hall.
Pang Min subconsciously looked out the window and saw the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky, but this beautiful scene stung her eyes and tears of grievance burst out.
Her birthday should have been a happy one, how did it turn out like this!
After eating and drinking, the leader was busy with work and prepared to leave.
Everyone hurriedly surrounded him and sent him to the door, their eyes full of respect, watching quietly as the leader got into the car and left until the car disappeared from their sight.
At this time, the special forces responsible for security nearby also evacuated one after another, and the originally tense and orderly atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Zhao Gang smiled and looked at Nan Qiao and said, "Miss Nan Qiao, there is something else to look forward to. You haven't opened your present yet. Let's go open it with you."
Nan Qiao's eyes lit up and she nodded happily.
So everyone came together to the pile of gifts.
Looking at the mountain of gifts in front of her, Nan Qiao's eyes flashed with surprise. She gently covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Wow, I've never received so many gifts at once."
Wang Xiaoxuan, who was standing by, watched all this with envy. She pulled Nan Qiao's arm and said, "Qiao Qiao, you are so lucky! I can't even imagine how happy you must be to be surrounded by so many gifts."
The people around also smiled warmly and were happy for Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao was really curious about what gifts everyone would give her, so she first picked up the gift from her leader.
It was an exquisite gift box with delicate packaging and a bow made of ribbons that looked elegant and playful.
She gently opened the gift box, revealing an exquisite jade bookmark engraved with delicate patterns, inspiring words, and his autograph.
It is warm and shiny under the light, and with the signature of the leader, you don’t have to think about it to know that it is valuable and of great significance.
Then Nan Qiao opened Zhao Gang’s gift box, which was square.
Nan Qiao opened it and found that it was actually a limited edition military model.
Each model is made to look lifelike, with ingenuity in every detail. They were specially selected by Zhao Gang for Nan Qiao, who loves military culture.
In fact, Nan Qiao couldn't say that she liked it, but during the year she joined the army, she longed for her country to have a strong military force to defeat the enemy.
Although the Flowering Country is now a military power, Nan Qiao always feels that something is missing.
Now that the sense of ceremony had come, she felt that it was complete.
Nan Qiao looked up at Zhao Gang, who looked at her with a loving expression.
In Nan Qiao's heart, Zhao Gang is not a father, but he is better than a father. He understands her, cares about her, and is willing to give her the fatherly love that she has lacked since childhood.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao Gang." Her eyes were red and her voice was choked.
