Chapter 558: Disagreement over Gift Giving
Time flies and another day has passed.
Today's plan for the three of us is to visit Lake Al in H City, then visit the City Hall, and go to the old street to eat delicious food and drink coffee in the afternoon.
Jiang Duoduo thought that she would have a good time today and then shamelessly go for a free meal tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them came out of the elevator on the first floor, Luffman, who was squatting in the lobby, immediately rushed towards Jiang Duoduo with shining eyes.
"Jiang... Director Jiang... I... I want to invite you to dinner at my house tonight."
As a small employee, Lu Fu was still a little nervous about inviting the hotel boss to his home for dinner. He was afraid that the boss would not agree.
He has always been slow to react and his emotional intelligence is average.
Even the matter of inviting Jiang Duoduo to dinner at home was something that Luffman asked his wife Tata to do after he came home from get off work yesterday and told her what happened in the afternoon.
"Who are you? Why are you inviting us Duoduo to dinner?"
Shang Jing'an saw a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard from Country D suddenly jump out, calling him "Mr. Jiang" in not very fluent English, and saying that he wanted to treat Jiang Duoduo to a meal.
I just feel that this person is not a good person.
So he stood in front of Jiang Duoduo without saying a word.
Luo Kai had some impression of this D country man. He remembered that he and Jiang Duoduo had seen this man arguing with another D country man in the Kafuk Coffee Shop.
Jiang Duoduo was watching with great interest at that time!
Why did this guy suddenly appear and invite Jiang Duoduo to dinner, and even to his house?
Could this person have some plans against Jiang Duoduo?
Thinking of this, Luo Kai looked at the bearded uncle with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He pulled Jiang Duoduo behind him, and stood in front of Luffman like Shang Jingan.
Then he said in an extremely cold voice, "We are not interested in eating!"
Luffman was startled by the way Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy. "I... I'm an employee of the Bowman Hotel. I don't mean any harm. I... I just want to thank Mr. Jiang!"
"Director Jiang?"
Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an then noticed that this person had been calling Jiang Duoduo "Mr. Jiang".
"You two make way!"
When Jiang Duoduo heard Luffman say he wanted to invite her to his house for dinner, she was completely stunned. How could good things happen so suddenly?
But just when Jiang Duoduo was confused, Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an almost ruined her mission of getting a free meal.
"Luffman, I'd like to have dinner at your house tonight. Thank you for your invitation."
Jiang Duoduo walked out from behind Luo Kai and Shang Jingan and quickly agreed to have dinner with them.
They say that even if you search high and low for something, you still can't find it, but when you get it, it's effortless.
Jiang Duoduo has personally verified this statement today.
"Okay...Okay, then I'll go back and prepare with my wife. Mr. Jiang's two friends can come along if they don't mind."
Luffman scratched the back of his head, then walked away with a grin on his face.
In order to invite Jiang Duoduo to his home for dinner, Luffman even took a day off.
Tata had to pick up and drop off the children, buy groceries and cook by herself, and Luffman was worried that she couldn't handle it all by herself.
Moreover, if the guests came early while Luffman was still working in the hotel, it would seem a bit impolite, so Luffman simply asked for leave.
When Tata heard that the guests coming to dinner were from Country Z, she learned several home-cooked dishes from Country Z on the Internet overnight.
"Come... I will definitely come..."
When Luo Kai heard that the man had a wife at home, he was much less wary of Luffman.
Besides, they invited Shang Jingan and me. If he really had any bad intentions, why would he invite two men to go together?
"I'm going too! I have to go!"
Luffman had already left, but Shang Jingan was still talking to the air and saying that he had to go.
Luo Kai and Jiang Duoduo both wanted to laugh after hearing this.
……
The most difficult problem was solved, and Jiang Duoduo was in a good mood.
The three of them went out to play that day, and Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an rarely fought with each other.
Because they were going to Luffman's house for dinner in the evening, Jiang Duoduo and the other two took a taxi back to the hotel at around 3:00 p.m.
Everyone went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an even discussed what gifts to give to the Luffman family.
Luo Kai: I think we should send a case of red wine! It's easy. There's a wine store across the street from Boman.
Luo Kai’s universal gift-giving formula is to give red wine to everyone he visits.
Shang Jing'an: I just searched on a certain red book, and it says that sending flowers and chocolates are good choices. If you have children at home, you can also send toys.
I quickly made a list on my phone and planned to ask Xiao Liu to go out and buy it as soon as possible.
Jiang Duoduo didn't expect that she just took a shower and put on some makeup, and when she went downstairs, Luo Kai and Shang Jingan had already prepared the gifts.
Xiao Liu drove a Volvo and waited at the hotel entrance.
In the trunk there was a box of red wine, gift-boxed fruits, a bouquet of bright red roses, five boxes of beautifully wrapped chocolates, two plush dolls and two car models.
"Why didn't you tell me when you bought something?"
Jiang Duoduo felt like she was facing a formidable enemy when faced with the full trunk.
Jiang Duoduo had already experienced a bad experience when she went out to eat with Luo Kai.
This time, she had to be extra careful about everything she said.
"Duoduo, just focus on having a nice meal. We two grown men are here! We don't want you to worry about such a small matter as buying gifts!"
Shang Jing'an came over and showed Jiang Duoduo all the flowers, chocolates, and toys he bought as if he was presenting a treasure.
In fact, Jiang Duoduo knew without Shang Jingan telling her that only the red wine and fruit gift box were sent by Luo Kai.
"Alright! Since you've already bought them, you have to listen to me when it comes to giving out these gifts, okay?"
Jiang Duoduo forced a smile and confirmed with Luo Kai and Shang Jing'an that they would listen to her when it came to sending the gifts.
"Yeah! You have the final say!"
"I'll listen to you, I'll definitely listen to you!"
Luo Kai and Shang Jingan were both concise and clear in their words, but they both listened to Jiang Duoduo.
Five o'clock in the evening.
It’s already getting dark in Country D.
As soon as it gets dark, there's a sense of urgency that it's getting late.
After the three got in the car, Xiao Liu turned on the car navigation and headed to 263 Wapson Road.
Wapson Road is relatively close to their project site, so Xiao Liu is familiar with the route.
The whole journey took only about ten minutes, and Jiang Duoduo and the other two arrived at their destination.
"Second Master, I'll move the things from the trunk for you. I'll come pick you up after you finish eating."
"Don't worry about the things first!"
As soon as Xiao Liu finished speaking, Jiang Duoduo immediately said that there was no rush to move the things.
"Huh? Duoduo, we're almost there. If we don't send the gift now, when will we send it? Do we have to wait until we're done eating?"
Shang Jing'an has always been very concerned about his reputation.
He felt that if he didn't send it now, he would have to eat at the other person's house empty-handed, and as the second son of a businessman, he couldn't afford to lose face!
