President, please comfort me.

Wen Qi quickly opened the message and said, "Hey, Lanling sent a message, let me see."

Lanling seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, speaking in a light and cheerful tone, as if the surrounding air had become sweeter: "Friends, how about we go to Dongning Island together for the National Day holiday?"

"It's very close to Xiamen! Ah Chao told me that the resort on the island just opened during the National Day holiday, it should be very interesting!"

Yang Xu quickly responded: Sure, no problem, it's your birthday, I'll do whatever you say!

Chen Nuo, who had been diving, then popped up again: +1.

Wen Qi quickly replied to the message: +1.

Then she smiled and looked at Xiao He: "Lanlan really agreed."

And so, a joyful trip was decided.

After returning to the capital, Tang Chao not only spent a lot of money to buy the island garden in Xiamen, but also personally designed a sapphire necklace engraved with L&T, intending to give it to Lanling as a gift for the two of them together, since the last time they went there was too rushed and they didn't prepare anything.

As for a birthday gift, he had already bought a high-end watch that was perfect for Lanling to wear; it was pink and very girly.

Now that it was decided to go to Dongning Island to celebrate Lanling's birthday, and time was of the essence, Tang Dynasty naturally put a lot of effort into preparations without stopping.

The next morning, he called out to Xiao He and Ye Lin in the group chat: "I'm planning to throw a birthday party for Lanling on the island. You two should set aside the last day and fly with me first."

Ye Lin immediately chimed in upon seeing the message: "Oh ho, what are you planning to do?"

Tang Chao recalled the scene of the island garden he had seen in Lanling last time: "The little girl likes flowers and plants. I'll have someone go to Ecuador to pick some roses first, and then we'll set up a birthday party for her on the lawn of the resort."

After arriving at the company, Xiao He replied: How many roses do you need? I'll arrange that; they'll be airlifted directly to the island.

Tang Chao already had a plan in mind: ten thousand flowers, in dopamine-toned colors, but not the bright red of true red.

Ye Lin belatedly realized that this was a division of labor, and secretly sighed at Xiao He's cunning. He was a step too late, so he had no choice but to take over Tang Chao's work: "Then I'll take care of the company's affairs. You go and prepare well."

Tang Chao chuckled: "Thanks a lot, brother." [doge.jpg]

After reaching an agreement, Tang Chao sent his men to invite a pastry chef and instructed his assistant to prepare all sorts of balloons and decorations.

-

The day before National Day, Tang Chao, along with Xiao He, Ye Lin, and several assistants, flew to Dongning Island.

The venue wasn't very big, only about 300 to 400 square meters, since there weren't many people. But Tang Chao strived for perfection, and it took seven or eight grown men a whole day to dress up and set up the venue.

Even during the Tang Dynasty, there was no one else on Earth who could persuade Xiao He and Ye Lin to do this arduous task for him.

Looking at the dreamlike and beautiful scene before him, Ye Lin slumped to one side, exhausted, and couldn't help but praise, "Wow, you're almost thirty and still doing this. I bet Lanling will think you're proposing."

Tang Chao carefully inspected the venue inside and out, and after confirming that there were no problems, he sat down and said, "When you catch up with Chen Nuo, I will cooperate with you."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Lin's face. Feeling energized again, he sat up straighter and asked, "That's more like it. Is there anything else you want to do?"

Tang Chao said, "That's about enough. I'll have Jiangnan keep an eye on the rest."

Seeing Xiao He walking over from the other side, he asked, "Why did you bring some red roses? I was planning to order them separately, but it seems this will save you trouble."

After sitting down, Xiao He habitually took out a cigarette, lit it gently, took a deep drag, and then slowly said, "I need it, so I'll share half with you."

"No problem, I only need one bunch."

Tang Chao's purpose in leaving red roses was obvious. Ye Lin didn't know why Xiao He was getting involved. These past few days, along with Tang Chao's workload, he had been getting off work very late every day, to the point that he hadn't seen Chen Nuo for five days.

Now that the work is done, I can't wait to get back to the capital. Maybe I can still make it in time to bring Chen Nuo a late-night snack or something.

Looking at his watch, Ye Lin realized it was almost five o'clock and hurriedly stood up: "Since it's about time, let's go back to the capital."

Xiao He also had the same idea: "Let's go."

Tang Chao kept his assistant behind to do some finishing work, along with the pastry chef.

After boarding the plane, the group sat down to eat together at lunchtime. Ye Lin made an excuse to chat with Chen Nuo: "I haven't seen Xueqiu for several days. Is it convenient for me to go see her tonight?"

Chen Nuo had just finished class and replied quickly with her phone in hand: Okay, sure.

Ye Lin: Then I'll go over around nine o'clock.

Chen Nuo: Okay.

After receiving permission, Ye Lin felt much better. Looking at his two brothers beside him, both staring at their phones with sly smiles, he knew without a doubt who they were chatting with.

He asked, "How did you guys manage to woo them? Share your tips with me."

Xiao He looked up at him with a mocking expression: "What else can you do? Cater to her preferences and pursue her patiently. Give her clothes, cars, bags, and money. Just keep showering her with gifts. As long as you're generous enough, you're guaranteed to win her over."

Tang Chao was drinking water when he heard this and almost choked: "Hmm, no problem!"

Ye Lin frowned. Why did this sound so familiar? Damn, wasn't this what he had taught Xiao He back then?

Hey, that old man! He actually used his own words to shut him up.

"Forget it, I should lower my stance when I need something from her," Ye Lin sighed. "It's no use. Chen Nuo is different from other women. If I give her these things, she'll definitely be angry, and who knows what she'll think of me."

He was almost in an emotional state: "Besides, I also catered to their preferences, and I had patience too."

Tang Chao comforted him, "Don't worry, it's only been less than two months, and you can't stand it already?"

Xiao He deliberately provoked him: "If you can't stand it, then find another one."

Ye Lin fell for it as expected: "Change my ass! I'm not changing, I want her!"

Xiao ignored him, quickly ate her meal, and went back to her room to video chat with Wen Qi.

It's rare for Ye Lin to turn over a new leaf, and Tang Chao still has high hopes for him: "As long as you swing the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down. Keep up the good work, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

Seeing that they had all left, Ye Lin said, "Hey, when it comes to women, you forget about humanity!"

Unable to rely on those two, he took out his phone again and instructed his assistant, who was far away in the capital, to prepare dog food, dog toys, and snacks that girls like to eat, and to wait for him at the Xiao family's helipad.

The assistant replied instantly: Okay, Mr. Ye.

An hour later, with a loud roar and a slight turbulence, the plane landed smoothly in Xiamen.

Tang Chao was a little impatient. After saying goodbye to Xiao He and Ye Lin, he quickly walked out of the cabin passage and headed straight for the exit.

The group agreed to meet in Xiamen the next day and then set off together for Dongning Island.
