The toughest man in the city

Chapter 97 The Sorrow of the City

Li Xiao never imagined that when he came back to look for Ning Xiaoxi, such a situation would happen.

Obviously he came to ask for salary, but it turned into Ning Xiaoxi asking him for money.

Yes, there is a reward of 5000 million US dollars rushing towards him, but the problem is that the money has not yet been received.

What should we do now?
Continue to owe, and pay off the principal with interest when you have money?
As soon as such thoughts came to mind, Ning Xiaoxi said another sentence that made him extremely collapse.

"Li Xiao, don't forget, I paid for the clothes on you. If you want to leave, then leave the clothes behind. If you have the ability, take off your clothes and go out from here. Otherwise, just think about it. Do you want to make something delicious for me tonight?"

As the saying goes, a penny beats a hero.

What Li Xiao owes Ning Xiaoxi now is not just a penny.

Before he could think of the right words to refute Ning Xiaoxi, the eccentric lady suddenly picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

"Hello, Manager Han from the finance department. Well, I'm Ning Xiaoxi. Is tomorrow the day when the company's employees pay their salaries? Just in time, I have something to tell you. There is an employee named Li Xiao in the company. It makes me very dissatisfied. His salary is temporarily held back and released, waiting for my notice."

The phone hangs up.

Ning Xiaoxi pretended to pick up a document and waved lightly at Li Xiao.

The meaning is so obvious, it is to let him go out first, think it through carefully, and then come back.

Li Xiao really needs to think about it.

I didn’t have a penny in my hand, and I didn’t even have lunch.

In the current situation, it is obviously impossible to get a penny from Ning Xiaoxi. You can't sleep on the street every day before the reward is issued, right?
In ancient times, Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and only then did he achieve great things.

Or he would give in for a while, and when he really has money, then...

No, no matter what you say, you can't bow to Ning Xiaoxi!

"Okay, Mr. Ning, just wait, it's just money, I'll compensate you!"

After saying this, he slammed the door, took out his cell phone, and dialed Deng Ziling's cell phone number.

It's time to ask when the bounty will be in place.

As soon as the call was connected, after Deng Ziling understood what he meant, she responded with just one sentence.

"Li Xiao, are you crazy about money? I just picked up, ahem, from Qinghe yesterday. Now I am personally escorting the target back to Western Europe. Do you know how important the target is? To prevent accidents, what do we need? As a professional bodyguard, you should be clear about the escort route. And..."

"Stop, Sister Ling, just tell me when the money will be available."

"just wait."

With a clicking sound, the phone hangs up.

Hearing the beeping busy tone, Li Xiao almost exploded.

waiting?

Why wait until the Year of the Monkey?

I need money now, and I'm in a hurry, so I can advance a little from Deng Ziling, isn't it all right?

He raised his hand and wanted to call back again, but before he actually dialed the button, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Cheng Cheng!

By the way, it's okay to ask Secretary Cheng to borrow money, there's no need to go far and away, and be ridiculed by Deng Ziling.

With a thought, he can put on a sincere smile and greet Cheng Cheng who is walking in front.

"Secretary Cheng, you... eh?"

"Hello."

Cheng Cheng walked forward with his head down, without even looking at him, he just greeted him casually and politely, and continued on his way.

The moment they passed by, the smile on Li Xiao's face froze.

What happened to Cheng Cheng?
Thick dark circles under the eyes, obviously not rested well, lost in spirit and preoccupied, he bumped his head against the door of the president's office, then he shook his head in a daze, stretched out his hand to twist the doorknob, and walked into Ning Xiaoxi's office .

Li Xiao looked at the door of the president's office opposite, and was in a daze.

In the room separated by a door, Ning Xiaoxi saw Cheng Cheng walk in, and immediately sat upright.

I saw Cheng Cheng holding a stack of documents, gently placing them on the desk, and then... stopped moving!

Ning Xiaoxi couldn't understand anymore, she just saw Cheng Cheng standing in front of the desk, the expression on his face fluctuated, as if he was engaged in some violent ideological struggle.

I don't know how long this weird scene lasted, Ning Xiaoxi finally couldn't stand it anymore, tentatively stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Cheng Cheng's eyes.

The little secretary took a step back in shock.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Ning, I didn't know you were here."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Xiaoxi almost rolled her eyes to death.

Such a big man has been sitting here for a long time, and you say you don’t know?
"Cheng Cheng, have you encountered any difficulties? If there is anything you can tell me, I will try my best to help you solve it."

As a company president, being considerate to his subordinates is an essential skill.

Even though Ning Xiaoxi is a little younger than Cheng Cheng in age, but her status and status are there, when she speaks, she definitely carries the majesty that a superior should have.

Cheng Cheng quickly shook his head: "President Ning, I'm fine. It's just that I didn't have a good rest last night. Well, after the investigation team left yesterday, I have brought the work reports of the R&D department and the sales department. President Ning, look, Is there anything else I need to do."

Cheng Cheng forcibly changed the subject to a more serious matter.

Unfortunately, her state is not a normal working state at all.

Ning Xiaoxi sighed slightly: "It's okay, let me take a look at it. You go back to the office opposite to rest and refresh your mind, and accompany me to the hospital to visit a patient in the afternoon."

"Yes, President Ning."

Cheng Cheng turned around in a daze, didn't take two steps out, and suddenly turned back and hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Mr. Ning, can I, can I get my salary one day earlier?"

"Okay, go and make a report with the finance department, and bring it to me to sign."

"Thank you, Mr. Ning."

Cheng Cheng is very grateful for going out.

Ning Xiaoxi didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, Miss Ning, who is not short of money, could feel the sadness of the low-level people in society.

Cheng Cheng pushed the door into the opposite secretary's office in despair, closed the door without looking back, and finally came to a quiet small space, without the attention of other eyes, the girl pretended to be strong, and disappeared in an instant.

Facing the door, his shoulders collapsed, and he squatted down on the ground, buried his head in his arms, and sobbed slightly.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, she became the personal secretary of a company president at a young age. She has a good job and high salary. In the eyes of countless people, she is definitely the kind of successful person who cannot be envied.

But who can know the pain in her heart.

As time passed, the slight sobbing sound became louder and louder.

Cheng Cheng, who was completely immersed in grief, didn't realize that there was another person in the room.

Li Xiao was half lying on the sofa, staring blankly at Cheng Cheng's back, feeling a little at a loss.
