Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 511 - 310: Birthday Banquet

April towards the end of the month.

Song Yanxi celebrated her twenty-eighth birthday.

The two had known each other from a very young age, then became acquaintances, and eventually lovers, holding hands on this journey together.

From youth until they were no longer young.

The entire process spanned sixteen years.

Some say that it takes a five-hundred-year passing glance to exchange for a lifetime of marital fate.

Whether it’s true or not, Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi had already walked through life’s springtime side by side.

Up to now, they even had two children.

A woman at twenty-eight, even if she didn’t want to make a fuss, her status was there for all to see.

Countless people came to attend her birthday banquet.

The birthday was not held at home, but at the top private club on She Mountain.

The place was also named "Cloud."

Early in the morning, Zhang Sitong changed into a new cocktail dress she had bought.

Because of her connection to Song Jun, she had the opportunity to get to know Song Yanxi’s family.

And then because of a meal, she was promoted three levels the next day and later even won the design project for the headquarters of Tengying Town.

She received a bonus of five million alone, instantly becoming the most eye-catching person in the company.

Now that it was Song Yanxi’s birthday, she naturally had to dress up carefully.

Song Jun had a house in Magic City, not one he bought himself.

But a rented two-bedroom apartment.

After Zhang Sitong moved in, she even shared half of the rent with him.

This made him extremely happy, always feeling like he had found the best woman in the world.

Zhang Sitong would not tell him that it was because of his cousin that she decided to be with him.

Just as the Tengying Big Boss could easily see through her purpose in approaching Song Jun, yet he did not stop the two from continuing to date.

The line between a good woman and a bad woman, only children can see clearly.

As for when you grow up, there’s no such thing as an absolute good person or bad person; it’s all just mutual.

Zhang Sitong carefully tied Song Jun’s tie; the moment she got the bonus, she hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time.

Then she spent fifty thousand to buy him this suit and spent over a hundred thousand to get him a green Rolex Submariner.

He was just a middle school graduate chef with not much education.

Maybe he was unruly at first when he entered society, but as he started to learn cooking, he earnestly wanted to have a skill by his side.

Over the years, he became a very skilled Hunan chef.

And then, thanks to the family support funds from the Chen and Song families, he headed south to Magic City and opened this Hunan cuisine restaurant.

He met his current girlfriend, Zhang Sitong.

Song Jun felt he was very lucky; he hadn’t worked much harder than anyone else.

Yet he had achieved results that his peers could hardly imagine.

He knew where all of this came from.

So, every time he saw his cousin-in-law, he was particularly nervous, but seeing his cousin was okay. Enjoy new stories from novelbuddy

"Did you prepare the gift I asked you to?"

"I’ve prepared it early."

Song Jun opened a red plastic bag, "Look, these are smoked fish sent from home by my parents, and some homemade cured fish and cured meat. My cousin used to love these when she was young, just not sure if she still likes them now!"

"Whether she likes it or not, your thoughtfulness will always be better than others."

"Sitong, do we need to go to such lengths? She is my cousin, my parents were very good to her when we were kids."

Zhang Sitong often felt speechless in front of this man because he was so lacking in social experience, often appearing naive in handling matters.

But he was also a person who was very serious and sincere about his feelings.

Zhang Sitong patiently explained to him, "This isn’t called being deliberate, this is called thoughtfulness, understand? Your cousin’s status has changed greatly; their family’s condition means they’ve eaten all kinds of delicacies. Maybe it’s only these flavors she loved as a child that might make her nostalgic."

"I’m not talking about that,"

Song Jun said, scratching his head as he put on his suit, which did nothing to make him look cultured, "you always tell me to be careful with my words in front of our cousin, to say things she likes to hear. I just feel that with my relationship with her, it’s not necessary!"

"What’s not necessary?"

Zhang Sitong gave him a disdainful glance, "Do you think you’re Chen Qi or Song Wu, who can say whatever they want? Who are you, anyway, just a cousin? If you don’t know how to strive for yourself, how can you get the most support from your cousin? Or do you really want to spend your life running a small restaurant? With your current accomplishments, if you don’t try harder, you might be too ashamed to even enter your cousin’s house in a couple of years."

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

Though Song Jun said this, he couldn’t help but think his girlfriend was right.

Zhang Sitong’s greatest satisfaction was that this man was willing to listen to her.

Even if what she said went against all the life principles he had held before, it was the same.

Because in reality, his cousin had completely changed from when they were kids.

Even after he had been in Magic City for so long, they barely met.

The family fund didn’t just help one or two individuals but both the Chen and Song families.

Wasn’t there someone who, relying on their family ties, got two million and then squandered it in bars every day?

In the end, that person was sent back to the countryside, never getting another dime from his cousin’s family again.

That person was his brother, too.

Zhang Sitong not only bought Song Jun designer clothes and watches but also got him a Mercedes E300 that cost over half a million.

The rest of the money was spent building a big house in their rural hometown.

If you disregard her ulterior motive in getting close to Song Jun, who wouldn’t say that he had found an exceptionally good woman based on her actions alone?

Zhang Sitong took his Mercedes to She Mountain, and it was only then that he understood why his girlfriend had repeatedly reminded him to say nice things in front of his cousin.

Looking at the birthday party, all the stars were gathered.

Big-name celebrities like Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, and Yang Mi couldn’t even get a seat in the front row.

They were just able to sit in the second row.

And those in front, each one of them was a top figure in Magic City.

Song Jun looked at the dazzling array of birthday presents, the least valuable of which was a Guanyin statue made of pure gold, worth at least eighty-eight thousand.

The more expensive gifts included a Rolls-Royce.

A Rolls-Royce wasn’t rare; his family had countless.

What was rare was that it was an off-road Rolls-Royce, a four-seater, pure red Kurinan.

It wasn’t even officially released in the country yet; it had been brought over from abroad.

Before taxes and shipping, just the car cost over seven million, totaling over eight million landed.

Song Yanxi herself quite liked it, but it was a pity she was pregnant now and could hardly drive anymore.

Song Jun looked at the dried fish from his rural home and the cured meat his parents had smoked in his hands.

Suddenly, he felt a bit timid—wouldn’t it be laughable to bring these as gifts?

It was Zhang Sitong who nudged him and said, "Why are you just standing there, go on!"

"Sitong, should we just spend some money to buy something expensive?"

"Are you stupid? You’re already here and you’re thinking about this? With your cousin’s wealth, any random watch of hers costs at least a few million. What expensive thing could you possibly bring?"

Zhang Sitong continued, "Unless you can do like the others and manage to bring over a limited edition Rolls-Royce that hasn’t even launched in the country."

"But, all these things together don’t even cost five hundred!"

"It’s the thought that counts, understand?"

Zhang Sitong urged him to go quickly and to remember to say some nice things about her in front of his cousin.

No matter how good the relationship used to be, if you don’t know how to maintain it, it will cool off.

Everyone who came today, each one of them, was trying to ingratiate themselves with the hosts in every possible way.

Why is everyone so desperate to climb the social ladder? This is exactly why.

Only when you have sufficient social status will you find the people around you to be good.

Even those who were not good at talking would become eloquent.
