“What’s a gift suitable for a twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old girl?” Bai Xiao asked his assistant. He remembered that his assistant had a girlfriend who was about the same age as Hu Ke. He should be more experienced in choosing gifts.

“Who do you want to give a gift to? If it’s someone you want to pursue, it’s best if it’s flowers and jewelry, or cosmetics. I give my girlfriend lipstick and so on.” When the assistant heard the boss’s question, he didn’t react for a moment and replied casually.

When Bai Xiao heard him say that, he started to think.

It seemed that pregnant women could not use cosmetics well. It was not good for the fetus. It was fine to give flowers and it seemed that it was rare to see Hu Ke wear jewelry. Why not give flowers and a necklace?

The assistant at the side packed her things and suddenly said casually, “You still have to give her what she likes when you give her a gift. Boss, ask her what she likes.”

Bai Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood. He left the venue with everyone who participated in the bidding. Wen Huai was also present this time. She was discussing with Zhang Rong if they should go for a meal later.

Previously, Wen Huai and Zhang Rong were only acquaintances, but after this collaboration, their relationship had developed to the extent of putting their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Wen Huai had always been a carefree person who could hang out with anyone. Zhang Rong was also the type of person who would hang out with the young masters of aristocratic families. The two of them hit it off immediately and said that they regretted not meeting sooner, not caring at all about the existence of Bai Xiao beside them.

“Let’s eat Western food tonight! It’s my treat! Let’s celebrate everyone winning the project!” Zhang Rong was so excited that his face was flushed. He shouted that he wanted to eat a big meal, but Wen Huai slapped him on the back.

“Let’s celebrate and eat Western food! Let’s go, let’s go straight to 1943. Today, we won’t entertain anyone else, but us! I still have a barbecue grill over there. We can roast meat ourselves!”

As soon as Wen Huai said this, everyone became lively and crowded towards the parking lot. Bai Xiao took the opportunity to squeeze to Wen Huai’s side.

“Wen Huai, do you know what Hu Ke likes?”

Wen Huai was shocked by Bai Xiao’s sudden appearance. When he heard him ask this, Wen Huai was stunned and subconsciously asked, “Isn’t Xiao Ke’s birthday next month? Why are you preparing so early?”

Bai Xiao did not say anything about his plan. He nodded in accordance with Wen Huai’s words and looked at Wen Huai sincerely. “Yes, so what gift should I prepare?”

“If we’re talking about something she likes, Xiao Ke would probably want a piano. She learned how to play it since she was young, but then something happened to her family, and her Steinway was sold to pay off their debt. If you really want to give her a gift, it’s a good choice.”

Bai Xiao made a mental note of this option and planned to buy a piano in a few days.

He realized that the information regarding Hu Ke that he had asked someone to investigate at that time was not comprehensive. It only recorded some important events and did not mention her hobbies or situation. However, this was indeed the limit of what those private investigation teams could do.

Hu Ke’s information was protected very well. There was no news revealed about her to the outside world before she became an adult. Bai Xiao felt that he might have to spend more time with Hu Ke and see what else he did not know about her.

The group of people arrived at 1943. On the way here, Wen Huai called and instructed that 1943 would not receive outsiders today, so the waiters had also tidied up the hall and turned it into a large indoor barbecue stall.

1943 was quite famous in the Beijing circle. Most of the people who came had heard of 1943’s name. Of course, the most famous person was still the bartender, Fox. After a group of people ate, drank, and played for a while, they made a bold suggestion. “Brother Wen! Everyone is celebrating winning the project today. Can you ask the 1943 gold star bartender, Fox, to show us her skills?”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Everyone began to agree.

Wen Huai could not dissuade them, so he could only take out his phone to send a message to Hu Ke. He even comforted everyone, “Don’t worry, don’t worry! I’ll ask Fox if she’s willing to come! She’s not an employee I hired, she’s a shareholder!”

Everyone was cheering. Wen Huai sent a message to Hu Ke.
