Chapter 258: Excessive Enthusiasm [14th Update #4]
"Husband, you are so wonderful!"
Wang Xiangjiao was instantly touched and gave You Yaozong a fierce kiss.
After getting ready, they headed to the downtown area.
Xu's Mall, since the last time Xu Hao acquired it, the mall had officially been renamed to Xu's Mall.
Although the name had changed, signifying a change for everyone involved, what difference did it make to the millions of citizens?
So, many were just shocked for a moment, and less than a day later, no one cared anymore.
Where people used to shop and relax, they continued to do so.
Upon entering the mall, Wang Xiangjiao dragged You Yaozong straight to the First Class Jade Shop. "Husband, shall we go take a look at that jade store?" she suggested.
You Yaozong looked up and saw it was a jade store called "Zhou Xiaofu." "Oh, sure!" he agreed.
"Husband, you are the best!" Wang Xiangjiao's eyes twinkled with a cunning smile.
"As long as you are sincere to me, I am willing to spend money on you." Recently, You Yaozong had been running around with not much money left, but after resuming his job, the hospital paid him his salary, and he had tens of thousands in his pocket, more than enough to buy a few pieces of jade jewelry.
However, You Yaozong still harbored some doubts.
The former Wang Xiangjiao only liked shiny gold and diamond jewelry and used to sneer at jade jewelry; why did she suddenly want this stuff now?
But he didn't think too much about it, perhaps Wang Xiangjiao's tastes had changed.
"Husband, you treat me so well!" Wang Xiangjiao hugged You Yaozong and gave him a fierce kiss. Passersby were astonished; they were in their forties, an old couple, and yet they were so affectionate in public. Weren't they embarrassed?
You Yaozong touched his face, puzzled. "Wife, why are you so passionate towards me now? You weren't like this before!" he remarked.
Wang Xiangjiao laughed. "Because only after losing something do you know how to cherish it. Thank you, husband, for giving us a chance to start over. Of course, I will cherish it."
You Yaozong smiled, thinking to himself that he was indeed overthinking. After being apart for a few days, he'd become so suspicious. Without further thought, he took Wang Xiangjiao towards the Jade Store.
As they approached the entrance, he heard Xiao Er shouting, "Zhou Xiaofu's Jade Store is having a grand opening promotion! Buy one get one free, buy one get one free!"
Xiao Er was shouting energetically, and upon seeing You Yaozong and his company, he greeted Wang Xiangjiao with a smile plastered across his face, fawning over her, "Sister-in-law, you've come!"
Sister-in-law?
You Yaozong asked in confusion, "Xiangjiao, do you know each other?"
Wang Xiangjiao glared at Xiao Er fiercely, then said, "We know each other. I came here for a stroll the day before yesterday, so he recognizes me."
Xiao Er wished he could slap himself and quickly added, "Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law is so pretty that one cannot help but remember her at a glance. Director You, you are truly blessed!"
Then, he quickly smiled at You Yaozong, "Director You, please, come inside."
You Yaozong was baffled and touched his nose, "You know me?"
"Of course! Director You of the First Hospital, who doesn't know you? Your expertise in dermatology is unparalleled in the whole of Tiannan!"
Xiao Er was trying his best to flatter You Yaozong, singing praises until You Yaozong almost felt like he was floating on air. If it weren't for knowing about Xu Hao and others, he might have truly believed he was the number one doctor in Tiannan.
Xiao Er yelled inside, "Manager, Director You has arrived! The Director You of the First Hospital has come!"
A tall and handsome young man came out, his hair neatly combed without a strand out of place, as if licked by a dog.
Xiao Er introduced to the pair, "These are our store's manager, Zhou Sheng, Young Master Zhou."
There were many surnamed Zhou in the world, not all of whom were from the Hua Du Zhou Family; thus, You Yaozong did not think to connect him to the Zhou Family.
Zhou Sheng glanced at Wang Xiangjiao, his eyes unabashedly sweeping over her chest and abdomen. Wang Xiangjiao also secretly gave Zhou Sheng a flirty wink.
All of this went unnoticed by You Yaozong, who heard Zhou Sheng warmly say, "Director You, a pleasure to meet you."
You Yaozong smiled, "Manager Zhou is so young and commendable, opening such a large-scale jade store, your abilities truly surpass others!"
Zhou Sheng laughed, "These are just minor endeavors. How can that compare to Director You being the head of the First Hospital, so prestigious!"
"Manager Zhou is kidding. Us folks are always cautious, fearing that one day we might accidentally offend someone. It's not as comfortable as Manager Zhou running a Jade Store where you can make a lot of money and not be subject to others' control."
At that moment, You Yaozong truly envied Zhou Sheng for being an independent businessman, and even briefly considered resigning. But remembering the precious medicine Xu Hao used for him to resume his position, before he had repaid Xu Hao's kindness, he immediately dismissed the thought.
Gratitude for a drop of kindness should be repaid with a burst of spring. If he did not repay the kindness, his conscience would be condemned.
