We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi sneered.

What's the date today?

"number 7."

Do you know what day the 31st of last month was?

October 31st? Halloween?

"Ha! Never heard of it! What Halloween? I only celebrate the Ghost Festival!"

"You'd better try spending Christmas alone."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Okay, enough nonsense, so what day is October 31st?"

"It's Sister Eden's birthday."

"Oh!?" Bronya's eyes lit up instantly!

"How do I say it? How do I say it? On your birthday... did you...?"

"Don't rush, let me... explain slowly."

······

10.29 night

Golden Courtyard, inside the living room.

Mei and Alicia were playing a game, while Fu Hua and Pado watched them. Kevin and Sue were reading a newspaper and scrolling through short videos on their phones—they were increasingly giving off an old-timer vibe.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop playing, everyone! Do you even know what day it is the day after tomorrow?"

Su asked, "The day after tomorrow? What day?"

"number 31."

"Oh~~" Su showed a look of sudden realization, and then asked, "So what day is it?"

"How did you become a comedian?"

"Learn from Kevin."

"Ok?"

“I know!” Alicia raised her hands high.

Xu Qi expressed great satisfaction with this!

He looked at Ellie with a smile and said, "Come on! Ellie, you answer."

It's Halloween!

"go out!"

The people in the living room laughed so hard they almost fell over.

Alicia pouted, looking aggrieved, and pointed her index finger at her chest, saying, "I was just joking..."

"It's Eden's birthday! Her birthday!"

"Oh, boss, we all know that Sister Ellie was just joking. What do you think about it, boss?" Cat tried to smooth things over.

Pado is really good at this kind of thing.

Well... after all, she often likes to court disaster.

If it weren't for Ellie raising her hand first, she would have been the one to answer "Halloween Night".

"Ahem! To be honest, Eden's birthday isn't something you can just casually celebrate, is it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fu Hua even stated – Of course! That's Sister Eden!

"Come on, let's brainstorm some ideas! Let's see how we can celebrate Eden's birthday. She's in a meeting at the company right now and won't be back for a while."

Upon hearing this, the cat's eyes lit up instantly! It raised its hand and said.

"I have an idea!"

"Great! Haha! As expected of my cat, you have so many ideas! Come on! Paddy, tell me what you think?"

"I propose... strip the boss naked, stuff him into a gift box, and throw him into Sister Eden's room!"

"go out!"

Everyone except Mei was overjoyed.

Mei glanced at the cat, who was still smug after her foolish act, with a smile on her face.

"Seriously, all of you!"

Fortunately, Kevin raised his hand at that moment.

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, anyone can make a joke, except Kevin—but his lame jokes were actually quite funny… Oh, it wasn't the jokes that were funny, it was the person.

"Boss Kevin, what is it?"

526. Sister Eden's nobility is indeed hard to imagine.

(P.S.: The chapter number in the previous chapter was incorrect; it has been corrected.)

"I think we should do it this way or that way."

After hearing this, Xu Qi made a gesture of sudden realization and nodded.

"So, so, and so on. What a great idea... So, what's the method?"

Kevin, with a blank expression, said, "Huh? Isn't that how it's written in the books? As long as someone says 'like this, like this,'..."

The other person will immediately realize the solution and know how to solve it.

"Wow……"

Xu Qi, barely managing to keep a straight face, said, "What...is this a new lame joke?"

Kevin's eyes narrowed.

"I didn't expect you to see through it. Indeed, this is a joke I've been preparing for a long time, but he shouldn't be bored."

"You get out too!"

Now, everyone in the living room, except Kevin and Xu Qi, was laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Su was even more outspoken.

"Kevin, this is the funniest joke of all you've ever told."

Amidst the laughter and commotion, Xu Qi couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

I knew I wouldn't get anything out of these people...

"Never mind, luckily I already had some plans. You guys just need to prepare the cake and food. We'll have a party tonight!"

Now, everyone in the Golden Courtyard, except for Eden who was absent, cheered.

With Xu Qi making such a commotion in the living room, how could others not pay attention?

They were just watching from their rooms.

Although it's Eden's birthday, it's also a reason for everyone to have a good time.

Everyone couldn't help but start looking forward to Eden's birthday the day after tomorrow.

Birthday cake and a big meal, and most importantly, a surprise!

Alicia really wanted to see what expression Eden would have on his face at that moment.

Who told her to always have that nonchalant attitude?

Finally, after everyone's eager anticipation, the calendar turned to October 10.31st...

……

"Chirp chirp! ~~"

Outside, the chirping of birds proved that the Golden Courtyard was not entirely silent.

Pado rolled over on the sofa and glanced at the time—eight o'clock.

"Boss, isn't Eden back yet? When you called earlier, she said she was just having a meeting and it would be quick, right? I'm starving..."

Xu Qi is currently slumped down next to Pado.

My hand fell limply down and landed right on the cat's soft belly.

However, he didn't notice that Pado's face was slightly flushed, but she seemed to be deliberately not reminding Xu Qi of this.

"I understand, I understand..."

He glanced at everyone; they were all in the living room, waiting, and getting a little bored.

"Let's eat first and fill our stomachs. As for the birthday cake... let's put it in the refrigerator to chill for now."

Sakura nodded and led Rin, who was also hungry, to the kitchen to serve everyone the dishes.

Mei then looked at Xu Qi and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Xu Qi shook his head.

He got up and put on a coat.

"I'll go check on Sister Eden's company. You guys eat first. Maybe after you've finished eating, I'll bring Sister Eden back with me."

Mei nodded, got up and saw Xu Qi to the door, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

"Go early and return early."

……

Under the cover of night, the GTR, like a black knight, sped along the highway, and in no time at all, it arrived at the headquarters of the Golden Group in Shanghai.

It can be said to be the most prosperous area in Shanghai - Lujiazui.

When the towering building came into view, Xu Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

The immense wealth of the Gold Group is sometimes difficult to perceive intuitively.

But when I saw this building...

Everyone probably feels the same way – the threshold for becoming the chairman of a gold group is perhaps higher than this building.

After parking his car as directed by the receptionist, Xu Qi entered the building.

Even though it was almost 9 o'clock, the lobby on the first floor was still bustling with people.

Countless people who are considered industry leaders by ordinary people are scrambling to secure a partnership with the Gold Group.

Therefore, it's not an exaggeration at all that ETStudio was so excited when they learned they would be working with someone like Eden that they almost had a heart attack.

Here, you can truly feel what class differences mean.

It's really hard for Xu Qi to reconcile the woman who built this entire business empire with his Eden sister.

It feels so unreal.

"Hello, are you looking for someone?"

The receptionist's voice interrupted Xu Qi's thoughts.

"Oh, I'm looking for Eden."

"..."

The receptionist was silent for a moment before asking, "Sir... could you please tell me your name?"

At the same time, he quickly pressed the hidden button inside the console to call the manager in charge of the lobby downstairs.

"My name is Xu Qi. How long will it take for your manager to arrive?"

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Almost as soon as Xu Qi finished asking his question, the lobby manager had already walked up behind him.

She was a middle-aged woman of about thirty-five years old, with a beautiful appearance and outstanding figure. When she saw Xu Qi, she also showed a perfectly appropriate smile.
