Chapter 508 Lou Xiao'e's Invitation

"Who knows? It's probably some kind of handicraft. What I gave Petrov before was a cloisonné wine vessel."

Li Shengli looked at the box in front of him and expressed his guess.

"Artwork?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the gift box on the table curiously.

"That's probably the case. I gave him a gift, so he has to give me one in return."

Li Shengli took two steps forward and prepared to open the bag of the gift box.

Han Qiuyun and Lou Xiao'e also came over. Seeing their curious looks, Li Shengli didn't keep them in suspense. He grabbed the two ends of the bow on the gift box and pulled hard, and the rope was opened.

Li Shengli opened the box and saw that there was another small box inside the gift box.

This guy Petrov can't be a nesting doll you brought by yourself, right? Although this is also their characteristic, looking at the big box inside the small box, it is really possible that it is a nesting doll.

This time, Li Shengli was no longer looking forward to the gift. He readily reached out and opened the small box inside.

This small box no longer contains another smaller box, but an Easter egg.

When Li Shengli saw this Easter egg, his eyes suddenly widened. Could this be the Fabergé Easter egg? Would Petrov give him such a valuable gift?
“Is this an Easter egg?”

Lou Xiao'e is quite knowledgeable about these things. Western culture is popular in Hong Kong now, and Lou Xiao'e also has a certain understanding of these.

“What are Easter eggs?”

Han Qiuyun didn't understand these things. Looking at the exquisitely crafted egg-like thing in front of her, she asked Lou Xiaoe curiously.

So Lou Xiao'e began to explain to Han Qiuyun what Easter eggs were.

Li Shengli was a little confused. Why did Petrov send him such a thing? There was still a long time before their Easter.

Could it be that Petrov had taken it from his own home? If so, that would make sense.

Thinking of this, Li Shengli smiled and wondered what he was just guessing about.

Han Qiuyun also listened to Lou Xiao'e's explanation of what Easter was.

"Why did he send such a thing?"

Han Qiuyun was a little confused, as it wasn't even the so-called Easter yet.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's a work of art. Just treat it as a decoration at home."

Li Shengli looked at the Easter egg carefully. It was made of silver, and had a unique pattern woven with silver threads on it. It looked similar to the cloisonné wine set he had bought.

Li Shengli did not have any expectations of Petrov, nor did he expect him to give him a gift in return, so this Easter egg was a surprise.

"By the way, Lou Xiao'e, why are you here this time?"

Li Shengli ignored the Easter eggs on the table. They were just decorations and not particularly pretty. He was more curious about what Lou Xiao'e wanted to see his wife for.

"Well, it's been a while since I last saw Qiuyun. Plus, I heard that you guys always went to other places to celebrate the New Year, and you don't have many relatives here, so I thought of letting you go to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year."

Lou Xiao'e extended the invitation again. She had discussed this matter with Han Qiuyun before, but Han Qiuyun pushed the matter onto Li Shengli. As for Li Shengli's family, major matters were usually decided by Li Shengli. She had to discuss this matter with Li Shengli before making a decision.

It just so happened that Li Shengli had also contacted her, so she asked Lou Xiao'e to wait for Li Shengli in the office together. "Go to Hong Kong."

Li Shengli lowered his head and thought for a moment. If Li Shengli was still young, he would definitely go to Hong Kong, but now Li Shengli has no intention of going there.

What can you do in the past? Nothing more than shopping. Li Shengli doesn't lack those things now. The most important thing is that Han Qiuyun doesn't like those luxury goods very much.

Lee Seung-ri doesn't like it either. In Lee Seung-ri's opinion, whether it is Xiangyunsha or Yunjin, both of them are better than those so-called foreign luxury goods.

"We'd better not go over there. There's nothing there."

Thinking of this, Li Shengli shook his head. That place was too small and very messy, and the scenery was not very good. There was really no need to go there.

Li Shengli's refusal was not beyond Lou Xiao'e's expectations. Li Shengli had this personality decades ago, and Han Qiuyun was not a person who liked to run around. Lou Xiao'e was also quite aware of this.

After persuading them again, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun still rejected Lou Xiaoe's kindness, especially Li Shengli. If he was still young and unmarried, he might have gone to look for those Hong Kong beauties. But now he is fifty years old and no longer has that idea.

"You guys, go out and see more. There are many development opportunities in Hong Kong."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In her eyes, Hong Kong was much more developed than the mainland.

"Well, there are opportunities for development everywhere. Hong Kong is too small. What can we do even if we go there? I'm just a cook and I don't know anything about finance."

Li Shengli spread his hands. In the mainland, Li Shengli could still use his connections to do some business. But what could he do in Hong Kong? Would he become a gangster?

Lou Xiao'e was speechless for a moment. She really didn't know what Li Shengli and his wife would do in Hong Kong. These two people were not interested in luxury goods and cosmetics.

Look at Han Qiuyun's mink coat, even she doesn't have it.

Thinking of this, she became more jealous of Han Qiuyun.

"By the way, do you know? Shazhu resigned."

Lou Xiao'e quickly changed the subject, otherwise she would feel lonely again.

"Shazhu resigned? We really didn't know about this."

Han Qiuyun first glanced at Li Shengli, and she also saw doubt in Li Shengli's eyes.

"I quit my job. I don't know what I was crazy about."

Lou Xiao'e was a little confused. She thought she had been very good to Sha Zhu, so who knew why he would resign.

"It's his pride that's getting in the way. He probably can't even lift the spoon anymore."

Li Shengli shrugged and asked Lou Xiaoe in a certain tone.

"Yes, I even reduced his workload." Lou Xiao'e nodded in confusion.

"It's just his self-esteem that's getting in the way. Someone else must have said something about him." Li Shengli guessed casually.

"With his family, he's lucky to have a job. Where does his self-esteem come from?"

Lou Xiao'e now looked down on Sha Zhu even more. She had originally thought that he had to support a large family and several people who had nothing to do with him, and she thought he was a pretty good guy. But who would have known that he would abandon his entire family for his so-called self-esteem.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Lou Xiao'e once again confirmed with Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun whether they wanted to go to Hong Kong with her. This time, Li Shengli did not hesitate to reject her invitation again.
