Chapter 2146: Chapter 2146: Eighteenth Coming-of-Age Ceremony (28)
Jiaojiao is currently at the southwest side of the hotel, and as far as her eyes can see, the walls are covered with streamers, the kind they hang from the roof during business openings, with blessings written on them.
However, Jiaojiao’s streamers have birthday blessings.
Jiaojiao can see two walls at the moment, both covered, with red silk as the base and black text as decoration, looking as tacky as can be!
The blessings written on them made Jiaojiao almost want Duan Xi to turn the car around; it was too embarrassing.
The most eye-catching one was from Old Man Shu, because his streamer was bigger than the others, about twice as large, so the text was also particularly big—"Happy Birthday to my dear granddaughter Jiaojiao, wishing health and happiness."
This blessing was rather conventional, the problem was that while others chose red silk and black text, he used gold text!
The weather today was especially good, and those words practically blinded people in the sunlight!
"..." Jiaojiao.
She stared silently at the cheerfully fluttering, distinctive streamer, deep in thought.
According to Shu Jiao, Old Man Shu is a very meticulous person, doesn’t smile much, very serious, a typical old cadre personality. So, exactly who is this person who used red silk and gold text, wanting the whole world to know he’s rich?
She held back, but finally couldn’t, and turned to ask Shu Jiao sitting behind her: "Mom, why has Grandpa changed like this? Doesn’t this affect his retirement life?"
After all, he is a retired old cadre, aren’t they usually very low-key, afraid of people gossiping behind their back?

Why is her grandpa an exception, and why is he going further down the path of being a big spender like the Ruan family?
Shu Jiao and members of the Ruanlin family were sitting in Duan Xi’s car, and hearing this, Shu Jiao smiled and explained: "You know your grandpa’s temperament, no one can persuade him otherwise."
Shu Jiao knew about this beforehand and had tried persuading him.
Although Jiaojiao’s eighteenth birthday is indeed very important within the Ruan Family, she thought internal celebrations were enough, there was no need to make it such that the whole world knew.
But when Old Man Shu is stubborn, would he listen to her? At most, she can only have a word with Ruan Jianguo, but she can’t control Old Man Shu.
So in the end, it was Old Man Shu directing at the front while Ruan Jianguo busily organized things at the back, creating the current scene.
And it’s not just the main store of the Ruan Family, but over thirty stores nationwide are doing the same, so presumably the whole country knows today is the birthday of the hotel’s little owner.
Jiaojiao was instantly speechless.
Someone from the Ruanlin family chuckled: "Sweetie, this is so festive, it’s okay, it’s your grandpa’s heartfelt intentions."
What else can Jiaojiao say?
After taking a deep breath in the car, she put on a smile, got out, and flew to Old Man Shu’s side like a little butterfly to act cute.
"Grandpa, we’re here."
Old Man Shu was waiting at the entrance of Ruan Family Hotel, and upon seeing Jiaojiao get out of the car, his eyes lit up, waiting for her to run up, he immediately leaned on his cane with one hand, pointing to the neatly arranged streamers on the hotel walls with the other, proudly saying: "The blessings on those were all thought up by grandpa himself, do you like them, sweetie?"
