As soon as Old Master Ning and the others arrived, everyone exchanged greetings, and the two most senior elders sat down, starting another round of conversation.
Ning Ge first presented the birthday gift for the old master. Since they had brought a gift, Old Master Cheng thought it inappropriate to inspect it right away, so he chuckled and said, "You’re all in such a hurry to present your gifts; the banquet hasn’t even started yet!"
"It doesn’t matter when a gift is given, but from what the old master says, has someone already given their gift before me?" Ning Ge laughed and glanced at Cheng Su and the others.
"Indeed, take a look." Old Master Cheng showed off the pair of porcelain figurines like a treasure: "This is my sister and me when we were young. Back then, we didn’t have any photos together, but this girl was so clever, she actually made these porcelain figures as a keepsake."
"Oh my, it’s quite lifelike." Old Master Ning put on his reading glasses for a closer look and said, "This girl has always been thoughtful; I think it’s better than any gold or jade."
Cheng Su laughed and said, "Old Master, please don’t tease me. Actually, I made these because I had no money, being poor forced me to make these porcelain figures, they’re not worth much."
"Nonsense, as the saying goes, the thought is more valuable than the gift! I think this sentiment is more valuable than anything!" Old Master Cheng disagreed and said, "Besides, if you really have no money, aren’t you doing some business? Let your second brother invest in you; whatever you want to do, let him invest, don’t worry about money!"
"I’ve already secured an investment!" Cheng Su teased with a smile, "If I ask for more, my second brother will probably turn around and walk away as soon as he sees me!"
"Haha, you silly girl!" Old Master Cheng tapped her on the forehead with a laugh and said, "I don’t know how you manage to speak so eloquently!"
"Old brother, you don’t know, she not only speaks well but can lecture me with grand principles!" Old Master Ning laughed and interjected.
