Chapter 2999 I also wanted to give him a surprise.
Charlene couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, but she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Actually, she really liked the dress, even though the designer said it was similar in style to the bridesmaid dresses.
Ultimately, it is unique, possessing a distinctive refinement and elegance.
However, the price was a major deterrent for her.
Moreover, there are no occasions in daily life where one would need to wear such a glamorous dress.
She naturally never considered buying it.
However, to her surprise, Shino secretly bought it and gave it to her.
This unexpected surprise warmed her heart.
Charlene couldn't help but lean closer to him, gently kissed his cheek, and said softly, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Shi Ye raised the corners of his lips, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes, and replied, "Yes, I'm glad you like it."
After saying that, he started the car and slowly drove into the night streets.
On her way home, Charlene couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The gifts that Tokino-san gave me were always so precious.
This made her think that perhaps she should work harder to match this deep affection and generosity.
She secretly resolved to work harder to earn money so that she could prepare equally thoughtful surprises for him in the future.
When they arrived at the apartment building, she and Shi Ye shared a reluctant goodbye kiss before going upstairs.
After returning to her room, she immediately contacted Jenny.
She rarely took on editing jobs before, but this time, in order to prepare a decent gift for Shino, she decided to take the initiative to seek opportunities.
Jenny, with her wide social network and abundant resources, readily agreed to her request without hesitation: "Yes, I have plenty of orders. I can introduce you to a few."
but……"
Jenny paused, then asked seriously, "Now that your identity has been exposed, when you take orders, do you have to say it's you?"
Charlene hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay not to say, unless the other party is someone you know very well and trust."
Seeing that she had some reservations, Jenny didn't press the matter.
"Okay, then let's not talk about it for now."
After all, with Xia Lin's excellent editing skills and unique creative style, even if she changed her pen name or wore a different "alias," she would eventually make a name for herself in the industry.
Charlene sincerely thanked Jenny, "Thank you."
Jenny smiled and replied, "It's no big deal."
For her, it was indeed just a small favor.
Because she runs a sizable company, the amount of business she handles daily is far greater than what these orders can represent.
This amount of income is negligible to her.
Jenny is extremely proactive. Upon receiving Charlene's request, she immediately began making arrangements, contacting relevant resources, and efficiently advancing the process.
……
The next morning.
As soon as Charlene woke up, she found that she had received more than a dozen detailed price quotes on her phone.
Each one corresponds to a different style of editing, and the amount of money on them is staggeringly high, completely exceeding her expectations.
Charlene was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe her eyes, feeling both shocked and grateful.
She immediately replied to Jenny, "Thank you, but isn't this price a bit too high?"
Although I am very confident in my editing skills, I don't know if the other party will be satisfied until the work is finished.
Therefore, she felt she still needed to express her concerns.
However, Jenny told her, "Don't worry, your editing is absolutely worth the price, you don't need to have any concerns."
I assured them that the editing quality would be absolutely guaranteed and would definitely satisfy them even more than they expected.
Moreover, everyone knows me and trusts my professional judgment.
And I have complete confidence in your abilities.
Besides, with your abilities, you'll soon have a great reputation.
"At that point, I might be able to take the orders myself, and we won't need him anymore."
She paused, then added, "I've compiled the relevant materials and detailed requirements and sent them to your email. Please check your inbox."
No need to rush, I've already given you plenty of time for production.
You can absolutely do it at your own pace.
Charlene was very touched and thanked her repeatedly, saying, "I will definitely give you a big gift on your birthday."
Jenny laughed and said, "No need for a big gift. Just bring Shi Ye along to make an appearance on your birthday."
I promise, it will make me happier than anything else.
After listening, Charlene fell into a brief moment of contemplation, and she began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.
Taking Shi Ye to meet fans in private sounds like a bit risky.
After all, Tokino-san has always valued his privacy and doesn't like to reveal his whereabouts in private.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that the support from my fans has always been genuine and enthusiastic.
Perhaps, Shino-nii will be moved by their sincerity and might go.
She secretly decided that she still needed to find a suitable opportunity to subtly probe Shi Ye's thoughts.
See if he is willing to accept this arrangement.
……
Later that evening, Shi Ye brought over a nourishing soup that his family's housekeeper had prepared.
Not only that, he also thoughtfully prepared a health supplement for each of the four elders.
Each supplement was selected by him based on the health conditions of his elders.
These are all family businesses, developed from ancient books left behind by the Shi family.
After collaborating with Lu Yanjue, the business has now expanded in all aspects.
Shah Rukh focuses on research and development, and is committed to the innovative exploration of pharmaceutical technologies and products.
The other members of the clan each have their own responsibilities and are responsible for different areas.
Some members are dedicated to business operations, focusing on developing the medicinal herb supply chain, operating chain stores for traditional medicinal diet supplements, and managing the production and market expansion of modern pharmaceutical companies.
At the same time, they also actively participate in the development and brand building of nutritional supplements, and comprehensively lay out the big health industry.
The alliance between the Shi family and Lu Yanjue has led to their rapid expansion, and their industrial empire is no longer what it used to be.
The four elders already held Shino in high regard.
Now, seeing that he is not only successful in his career, but also shows thoughtfulness and consideration in every detail, I like him even more.
During the meal, they couldn't help but praise him, saying how thoughtful he was.
After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Xia prepared to send the elderly couple back to their small town.
Upon seeing this, Shi Ye immediately stood up and said, "I'm not busy this afternoon, I can take Grandpa and Grandma home."
His tone was crisp and natural.
However, Xia's mother stopped her, saying, "No need, Xiao Ye, we'll take him."
Linlin's injury hasn't healed yet, so she's not running around anymore. Could you keep an eye on her and let her recover properly?
That's what they said; they were deliberately creating opportunities so that the two young people could spend more time together.
The elders' eyes were filled with smiles, their tone gentle yet firm in allowing no refusal.
Shino had no choice but to nod in agreement.
