As Ye Zhi spoke, she took out the gift box.
Qi Xuan was about to refuse, but his gaze fell on the gift box containing the thermos cup, which seemed to be a couple's design?
He paused slightly, accepted the gift box, and opened it. The thermos cup was uniquely designed and very beautiful.
Qi Xuan took out one of the cups, "I only need one."
Ye Zhi blinked, "But these are a pair..."
"I drink water alone, I don't need two cups," Qi Xuan said faintly.
Seeing his resolute expression, Ye Zhi nodded and put the gift box back, "So you like these... I have badges and keychains, small merchandise, would you like them?"
Qi Xuan was helpless, did he like merchandise?
The butler's expression was complicated. He was genuinely happy for his young master. After so much effort, they finally had a couple's cup with Miss Ye! It was just a pity that the couple's cup was obtained by himself, and Miss Ye hadn't even realized it.
"...No, thank you." Qi Xuan refused.
"Alright, if I have any other merchandise you're interested in in the future, I'll bring it for you."
Qi Xuan: ...
He wasn't interested, thank you.
Seeing the atmosphere about to turn awkward, the butler quickly said, "Young master, don't you have a gift to give Miss Ye as well, to celebrate?"
"What gift?" Ye Zhi looked at Qi Xuan curiously.
Qi Xuan took out the gift box he had prepared earlier and gave it to Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi opened it and saw a bottle of perfume lying quietly inside. She asked in surprise, "This perfume isn't cheap, is it?"
Fearing she wouldn't accept it, the butler quickly said from the side, "Miss Ye, please don't worry, the perfume isn't expensive at all..."
Ye Zhi picked up the bottle and examined it carefully, "Even if the perfume isn't expensive, this bottle is not cheap! Isn't this bottle inlaid with diamonds? Judging by the size, it should be five carats. And the mouth of the bottle is pure gold! This bottle alone must be sky-high! How could you suddenly give me such an expensive gift?"
Ye Zhi looked at Qi Xuan, her face full of confusion.
Qi Xuan's heart pounded. The next moment, he quickly found a reason, "Although my shares in Taoxun Film and Television are not many, the movie 'Diamond' is certain to break 100 million at the box office. The money I receive will be considerable. Compared to that, the price of this perfume is nothing."
"I understand," Ye Zhi said, suddenly enlightened. She smiled and said, "Is this a reward from a shareholder to me? Then I'll accept it."
Qi Xuan: ...
Well, as long as she accepted it.
"What are Taoxun's next plans?" Qi Xuan asked.
"I plan to create a mobile live streaming platform," Ye Zhi sighed. "However, the conditions are not quite mature yet, and many supporting facilities are not keeping up. So I plan to test it within a small range first, and then officially promote it when the conditions are improved..."
The butler was displeased. He was really anxious for the two of them. Why were they talking about work again?
"Alright, alright, Miss Ye, today is specifically to celebrate you. You two shouldn't talk about work anymore," the butler said resentfully.
Ye Zhi chuckled and agreed.

Cen Ya was currently feeling bothered. Lin Shuangshuang had just called her to say that Ou Minghan's stomach problem had flared up again. He kept calling Cen Ya's name, wanting the porridge she cooked.
She should have retaliated against Ou Minghan and completely ignored him, but why couldn't she stop worrying about him?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She opened it and saw Cen Xiucheng walking in.
"Sister, the house is bought for you," Cen Xiucheng handed her the keys. "It's very close to Gu Sheng's house, so you can move in directly."
"Thank you, brother..." Cen Ya took the keys listlessly.
Seeing her dejected expression, Cen Xiucheng said sternly, "Xiao Ya, do you know you were wrong now?!"
Cen Ya suddenly tensed up, her face turning pale.
Had Cen Xiucheng checked her accounts and found out that she had donated to charity?
"Brother, I, I..." she stammered, her eyes immediately welling up with tears.
Seeing her about to cry again, Cen Xiucheng frowned, "That's enough! Learn from your mistakes, why are you crying?! I already knew you deliberately hired people to smear Taoxun's movie!"
Cen Ya's eyes widened in shock. Cen Xiucheng was talking about this, not her donation?
She was so scared!
"If Taoxun's movie hadn't had those smear articles, its final box office would have been around 20 million, at most 30 million. But those smear articles were equivalent to direct promotion, which is why this movie has the possibility of breaking 100 million at the box office. Xiao Ya, do you know what you did wrong?" Cen Xiucheng asked sternly. xxs
Cen Ya lowered her eyes, her expression dim. "I shouldn't have provoked Ye Zhi..."
"It's not that you shouldn't have provoked her, but that you shouldn't have provoked her at this time," Cen Xiucheng said earnestly. "Xiao Ya, I know the Ye family favors Ye Zhi, and this has always been a thorn in your side. But you must understand that although our Cen family has influence in Country K, in Kyoto, we can only operate step by step.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. In Kyoto, Ye Zhi currently has more connections and resources than us, and she is stronger than us. At this time, we should avoid her sharp edge, develop secretly, and not confront her. Once we establish ourselves in Kyoto and slowly grow stronger, we will have the ability to confront her..."
Seeing Cen Ya's unfocused and absentminded expression, Cen Xiucheng felt a surge of annoyance.
He asked sternly, "Cen Ya, did you hear me?!"
Cen Ya trembled all over. She said timidly, "Brother, I don't understand these things, but I will listen to you, and I won't provoke Ye Zhi..."
Cen Xiucheng's heart softened. It was probably because the Ye family refused to train Cen Ya, which made her unable to listen to this advice.
"Alright, it's all in the past, and you don't need to blame yourself too much," Cen Xiucheng continued. "There are some urgent matters in Country K, and I have to go back. The company is almost set up. You will be the chairman, and Gu Sheng will be the president. I have also hired professional managers to be the vice presidents to help you manage the company. Of course, major company decisions will be made by me. I will train Gu Sheng well so that he can help you and protect you."
In fact, ever since Cen Ya and Gu Sheng were taken to the police station last time, Cen Xiucheng was quite dissatisfied with Gu Sheng.
He had initially thought that although Gu Sheng lacked ability, he at least had a sincere heart for Cen Ya. But now, it seemed that apart from sincerity, he was useless.
Therefore, Cen Xiucheng arranged the position of president for him, intending to use this method to train him. If Gu Sheng still proved to be useless, then he might have to reconsider his relationship with Cen Ya.
"Brother, you're going back?" Cen Ya immediately grasped the important point.
