Chapter 454 - Utilize Opportunities
While the family of three was busy with the birthday presents, lots of people were gushing over the pictures from the birthday party.
Fu Hua personally took a picture of Jia Li and the little bun together and posted it on his social media pages to wish them a happy birthday, and he ended up not tagging anyone.
In the picture that he posted, only a little of Jia Li's side profile was seen, but the side profile of the little bun was seen clearly.
Everyone was complimenting the little bun for how cute and beautiful she was. Many of them asked the reason they couldn't see Jia Li's face.
Even the picture Grandfather Fu posted of Jia Li and the little bun, Jia Li had her head lowered, while Jasmine was looking up at her. From the picture, it could be seen that Jia Li was saying something to the little bun that warranted their poses being that way.
As everyone was curious about Jia Li's identity, they were still happy that they at least got to see her side profile. Someone asked under Fu Hua's comment section when he would finally let them see his wife's face, but as usual, he didn't reply to anyone.
Grandfather Fu left this matter for Fu Hua and Jia Li to decide. Jia Li didn't seem to care about her hidden identity, while Fu Hua had something else in mind. He has decided to reveal Jia Li's identity as his wife soon, and he was going to do it in an unexpected way, and that's the reason he will not bring it up, anyone before then.
Jia Li being a normal citizen posted a selfie of herself without make-up and wished herself a happy birthday.
Jia Li had fans, so she received a lot of birthday wishes and comments under her post, but who would have thought that she was the same person the members of the Fu family were celebrating?
Jia Li's three friends who were also present at the birthday party wished her a happy birthday under her latest post.
On Monday, when Jia Li went to work, she received birthday gifts and cards from her colleagues. Sunny also handed her a bottle of perfume as a birthday gift.
Soon August came, and FJ Styles held their Autumn Fashion show. And a day after the show, FJ posted on their official social media pages the 5 outfits designed by their newbies that made it to the Autumn show, with their names included.
Although Jia Li wasn't trying to be popular, being in FJ, has made her more popular, and caused the media attention to be on her. She was like a mini-celebrity right now.
Jia Li also reposted the red dress she designed from FJ Styles' page, on her page as well, with a little write-up, 'I had no idea this dress would look this pretty. Thank you @FJ_Styles for recognizing my arts.'
Jia Li and her 4 other colleagues whose works were recognized, received some rewards from FJ. Their work tables were upgraded, and they had their little office spaces now.
Marié being amongst the people that got her own little office space, was very excited and couldn't stop talking about it.
Before the end of work that day, Sunny announced that she was going to give a treat to all the newbies who have been with them since January.
This was good news to the newbies because Sunny was usually very strict with them, and she doesn't smile with them at all. Now hearing from her that she was going to give them a treat, they were beyond happy.
"At least she is not treating her group only, but our entire set." One of the newbies said with a big smile.
"I'm glad this is the weekend, so I can drink all I want," Marié said.
"Don't forget we are dining with our superiors, don't forget your manners at the end of work today,? bring it along," Linda said to her.
Marié glanced at her and asked with a frown, "Really? do you think I'm insensible to get drunk and act crazy in front of my superiors from work?."
"We know how crazy you can be, so we are reminding you ahead of time." One of them said with a smile.
"Are you serious? I don't want to lose my job or lose pointers, so I will definitely be on my best behavior." Marié replied.
Jia Li on the other hand was happy with the treat, but she had a baby-toddler at home whom she needed to get home to spend some time with after staying away from her for almost a whole day.
Jia Li went to Sunny's office to permit her to be absent on her treat, but Sunny refused.
"I know you have a child, but I want you to be present today because I have an important announcement to make as well. I will permit you to leave after half an hour." Sunny said with a gentle gaze.
"Thank you." Jia Li replied. Returning to her office, Fu Hua requested to have a video call with her. Jia Li fixed her earphones before answering the call.
"How do you feel about owning a little office space?." Fu Hua asked immediately the call got connected. A big smile played on his lips while waiting for her response.
"I love it, it feels like I am a small CEO of a company. Be careful of me, so I won't snatch FJ from you." Jia Li teased.
Fu Hua chuckled softly and said to her, "I would really love to see you stand side by side with me in this Fashion World. Hard work brought me here, and not because I was my grandmother's grandson, so I would like you to work hard so you can meet me quickly."
"I promise that I will meet you soon. Every little opportunity that comes my way will be utilized just to be a few steps away from you." Jia Li replied with a smile.
"I love your spirit. I will reward you handsomely if you can achieve a lot before January." Fu Hua said to her.
He was setting a goal for her to reach before she celebrates her 1st anniversary working in FJ, and Jia Li took up the challenge.
"What would my reward be?." Jia Li asked with a smile.
Fu Hua thought hard and said, "I would have loved to pay for a 2 weeks vacation to anywhere you want, but I can't because Jasmine and I would want to come along, so I have decided to reward you with myself."
"What!." Jia Li exclaimed in surprise as she chuckled hard.. She thought he had something reasonable to say or something that would sweep her off her feet, but it turned out that he would say something that is not relevant.
