The heart of the pretender is sincere

After being kissed, Lingxi immediately went to Suzhou to calm down for three days. No, she was on a business trip for three days. The press conference was coming soon, and the progress in the factory had to be followed up by her, so she had to go there in person.In the past three days, she thought a lot. She felt that she was too cowardly. Isn't it just a kiss? What a big deal. Anyway, if they like each other, they should be together. So three days later, Lingxi came back happily.

It's just that she just came back and didn't have time to rest for a while without her butt warming up, so she received a message from the ballroom that Mr. Qin officially notified her assistant that Chen Xuanyu would not attend the press conference, and asked Manager Li to take the time to discuss compensation and replacement question.Lingxi was still full of thoughts about how to tell Ah Cheng her thoughts, but at this moment all her charming thoughts were scattered, so she made a special trip to Ming's Building to get the contract and brought three assistants (who were supposed to come back again) If you bring two more people, there is really no room in the car) aggressively rushed to the Shanghai Ballroom, but was stopped by someone saying that the boss was talking to a distinguished guest, and asked Manager Li to wait a while before going in.

The most embarrassing thing in the world is that you are furious and ready to fight against others. You have prepared a full stomach and analyzed the arguments in detail. You are ready to fight the opponent for [-] rounds. In your imagination, you should kill the opponent at all. There is no way to fight back, but this person ignores you at all and makes you wait. When you punch the cotton, the person will stuff your mouth with cotton or black heart cotton. Even if you don’t choke to death, you will suffocate. you.

"Manager Li, don't be angry, sit down and rest quickly." Manager Liu was the one who received Lingxi. He was a little worried when he saw the abnormal flush on Lingxi's face, so he asked someone to help him sit down, and then He personally brought warm water, "Come and drink some water and take a while, don't get angry."

Lingxi took a big sip and put down the cup heavily, "Your third master Qin is poisonous, he said Chen Xuanyu would not participate if he didn't participate, didn't he calculate how much ten times the compensation is, he asked me Come and leave me here again, and see the honored guest, which honored guest is so honorable to make me wait!"

"Calm down, hurry up." Manager Liu took out a feather fan from nowhere, and explained while fanning Ling Xi, "I have to explain this to our third master. It's all right, but there's nothing the third master can do about this distinguished guest coming uninvited, and the person you know is Chief Ming, but this time it's not only Chief Ming, there are even more powerful people, you are really not suitable go in."

"A more powerful person?" Lingxi suppressed his anger and thought for a while, and he could count on one hand the people in Shanghai who are more powerful than Minglou, "Wang Fuqu, it's still Zhou Fohai, it can't be Japanese, right?"

"Oh, my little aunt, please keep your voice down." Manager Liu almost wanted to cover her mouth, thinking that this girl is too brave to directly mention Mr. Zhou's name just because of her family background. , "Isn't it Mr. Zhou?"

He waved to the people around him to signal them to move away. Seeing this, Lingxi also asked his three assistants to stand farther away. After making sure that no one else could hear them, Manager Liu whispered, "I Quietly tell you, you can't tell the outside world, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ming came to find the third master today, and asked Ms. Chen to sing alone. As soon as Mr. Zhou came, the third master notified me that Ms. Chen would not participate The press conference is here, let me inform you, and not long after Mr. Zhou came, Mrs. Zhou came, and now these few people have been chatting together in the third master's reception room for more than half an hour."

The smell of gossip is already obvious, "But what does this have to do with Chen Xuanyu's participation in my press conference?"

Manager Liu shook his head, "We have to ask the third master. This is the third master's decision. I can't guess what our boss is thinking."

Lingxi is the kind that can break her teeth after eating a mouthful of iron melon. If Chen Xuanyu can't attend the press conference and Zhou Fohai will be in trouble, although she can claim compensation after signing the agreement, but according to the friendship between Qin and Ming In the end, it was to find someone to take Chen Xuanyu's place, and then pay a symbolic amount of compensation. It was absolutely impossible to pay the amount agreed in the contract.

Lingxi leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest her mind. She has a headache now not only because of Chen Xuanyu's inability to play, but also because of the bad weather in Suzhou two days ago, she caught a cold and she didn't have time to eat lunch. At this moment, she felt that she was already getting hot, and she couldn't exert any strength.

After a while, someone suddenly came to Lingxi and said that Mrs. Zhou invited Miss Li to come in and talk. Lingxi helped her forehead. It was not Mrs. Qin or Mr. Ming, but Mrs. Zhou. It was fun. Of course, Lingxi is not afraid of things, she called her assistant to help her up, thinking that the soldiers would come and cover the water and soil.

***

Mrs. Zhou's surname is Yang and her name is Shuhui. Today she heard that Mr. Zhou and Minglou came to the Shanghai Ballroom to discuss matters with Qin San. In fact, don't think she doesn't know. Minglou is just using it as a cover to meet people.Chen Xuanyu claimed to be Qin San's girlfriend, but no one in the circle knew that it was impossible for the Qin family to let a dancing girl in. Chen Xuanyu didn't even have the qualifications to be Qin San's concubine. Just go to his house, Mr. Zhou.She didn't want to care about her husband's such small thoughts, but a singer, anyone with a certain status, who doesn't have some tricks outside, but I heard that Chen Xuanyu played hard to get, and seduced her family Zhou The husband was obsessed with thinking about it day and night, so she wanted to dampen her spirit and let Chen Xuanyu know what her duty is.

As for Lingxi, Yang Shuhui's impression of Lingxi comes from the poker table. One of her regular players praised the chairman Ming's family for a little girl who is very good-looking and has a superb memory. It is restricted to play mahjong and you can only watch from the side and not allowed to serve at the table. The person who came in front informed that Ms. Li from Mingshi Jewelry came to Qin San. She was just joking and thought she was another confidante of Qin San, but Minglou explained This Miss Li is the younger sister of his family, and she is only in a cooperative relationship with Qin San, not Qin San's confidante, so when she came here on a whim, she wanted to meet this very good-looking little girl with excellent poker skills, and Chen Xuanyu Just let her continue to serve while standing with the tea tray.

When Lingxi came in, the three assistants she brought were all stopped outside. Seeing that there were so many people, this trick wouldn't work, so she didn't even bring the contract. It seems that Zhou Fohai and his wife are probably in their 30s or 40s. Behind them are two men in military uniforms who look like bodyguards with guns in their waists. Minglou and Qin Sanye sit on the left and right On the sofa next to Zhou Fohai, Ah Cheng and Chen Xuanyu were standing behind them respectively, but Chen Xuanyu was holding a tea tray with a teacup on it.

"Big Brother, Brother Ah Cheng, Third Master Qin." Lingxi greeted several people. Although she was very dissatisfied with Qin San, she still had to save face.

Ah Cheng hasn't seen Lingxi for three days since the last time he kissed her, and he didn't know if she was angry or shy, and he didn't have the chance to explain or confess. , his face was also abnormally red, and he seemed to be sick, but the current situation did not allow him to step forward to ask.

Minglou got up and introduced, "Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, this is my little sister Li Lingxi. She usually works with my elder sister. When she has nothing to do, she basically stays at home and doesn't like to socialize very much. Lingxi, This is Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou."

Lingxi greeted the two obediently again, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou."

Zhou Fohai is not interested in young ladies from aristocratic families, he prefers mature and charming ones, and his wife is making trouble because of Chen Xuanyu, so he simply nods his head as a response, and Yang Shuhui likes this kind of look very much The good-looking and well-behaved lady is here, she waved to Lingxi, "The little girl is so pretty, I liked it the first time I saw it, come and sit beside me."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Zhou, I'd better not sit next to you when I have a cold, or I'll catch the infection." Listen carefully to Lingxi's voice, which is actually a little nasal.

Yang Shuhui naturally didn't force it when she heard it, but she knew that Mr. Zhou always brought a doctor with him when he went out, so she was afraid that if something went wrong, she called the accompanying doctor to show Lingxi. Lou's younger sister is naturally worthy of being the Zhou family's doctor.After seeing the doctor, the conclusion was that it was wind-cold, some low-grade fever, and some low blood sugar. It is recommended to eat something to cushion the stomach before going to the hospital for injections and medicines.

"If you don't eat well, be careful to let the eldest sister know and punish you." What Minglou thought in his heart was that young girls nowadays are all the more in pursuit of a slim figure. Mingtai was punished by his elder sister for copying books because of this incident.

"It's not that I don't eat well, it's Mr. Qin." When it came to this matter, Lingxi became angry, "Mr. Qin called my assistant specifically, and said he was going to break the contract and asked me to negotiate compensation The problem is, this is a lot of money, I just don't care about eating for fear that he will regret it!"

Lingxi is also an old hermaphrodite, her tone and intonation are so controlled by her that everyone present can hear the irony, she smiled mockingly, "Mr. Qin said it so frankly If you want me to talk about compensation, I probably haven’t calculated how much you need to pay, so why don’t I tell you how much you need to pay?”

Third Master Qin didn't speak, he just picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. Instead, Yang Shuhui, who had been listening all the way, became interested, "Hey, I really want to know how much I will pay."

"Mrs. Zhou, let me tell you that there was a clause in the contract signed by Mr. Qin and me that if he breaches the contract, he will bear all the expenses incurred by this press conference, including but not limited to venue fees, rental fees, and labor costs. , employee salaries, and jewelry material costs, etc., and pay ten times the cost as liquidated damages." Lingxi turned to look at Qin San, "Does Qin San think that ten times the size of his family's business is not a lot of compensation? You can afford it. Now let me tell you how much it is ten times, 137969.5 yuan. If you are so rich, why don’t you give me 14 together? As long as you give the money, I will leave immediately. This press conference I don’t want to do it anymore, any dream or wish is empty, I immediately disband Ming’s Jewelry and go home to lie down, what are you still working on, let’s play for a few years before talking about it.”

"Lingxi!" Minglou's tone was a little serious, reminding her that she had gone a little too far.

Lingxi was getting more and more angry at first, but the elder brother's warning was in her ears. She was so wronged and wanted to say something more, but she met Minglou's eyes again and could only calm down, and sat on the sofa in a rage. say.

Minglou sighed and got up to apologize, "Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are really sorry. She was spoiled by my eldest sister at home. I will definitely teach her well when I go back."

"Minglou, you are too nervous. The little girl has a really cute temperament, she has the demeanor of your elder sister." It was rare for Yang Shuhui to see Qin San so shriveled, being trained so hard by a little girl that she couldn't open her mouth. Smiling, he motioned Minglou to sit down and looked at Lingxi, "Your money is so accurate, you know every expense in your mind?"

"That's right." Lingxi glanced at Minglou first and saw him nodding slightly before continuing, but her tone was much calmer, "I'm not talking nonsense at all, I'm accountable for all these expenses, Qin San If you don't believe me, I can show him the accounts, and I didn't trick him into signing this contract. I also hired an assistant to talk to Mr. Qin several times about the ten-fold compensation clause. The third master knows it all!"

"I've changed my mind. Chen Xuanyu will attend your press conference." Third Master Qin, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, but Lingxi immediately exploded at these words.

"Qin San, be yourself!" She stood up abruptly, but immediately felt a dizziness that made her unable to continue talking, and she was staggering to the point where she couldn't stand still. Fortunately, Ah Cheng Responding quickly, he supported her across the sofa, Lingxi now only feels a splitting headache.

Minglou was going to reprimand Lingxi for thinking she shouldn't be swearing, but seeing her like this, his heart softened, "You still have a fever, sit down and don't move around."

Lingxi closed her eyes and rubbed her hands on her temples, and she was exhausted when she spoke, "Master Qin, you should know that I just came back from Suzhou at noon today and received a message from you saying that you want to change someone and let me talk to you about compensation. You came here without eating, but you asked me to wait, so you can wait, and now you can’t change it, so Qin Sanye, you did it on purpose, may I ask if you still have a little bit of professional ethics. "

Qin San knew that he was wrong, "I'm sorry, today's matter is my problem, I apologize to you."

Lingxi didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she stood up on the sofa with difficulty. Ah Cheng saw it and hurried forward to help her, "Brother, I have a terrible headache, I'll go back first."

"Okay, I'll ask Ah Cheng to take you back, remember to eat something first and then go to the hospital." Ming Lou sighed, the illness looked a bit menacing.

"Well, thank you, brother." Lingxi nodded, "Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, I will take my leave first."

The Zhou family and his wife nodded together. Lingxi helped Ah Cheng's hand around the sofa and put all the weight on Ah Cheng. She moved to the door with difficulty, and suddenly looked back at the man who had been standing there with a tea tray as if he was an invisible person. Chen Xuanyu, "Miss Chen, what are you still standing here for? Your Third Master Qin has already said that he won't change you. Why don't you hurry up and rehearse for me? Are you trying to be lazy? I'll tell you that I haven't paid the balance. If you don't do well, be careful and I will deduct your boss's money!"

Chen Xuanyu has been standing here with a tea tray for more than an hour. She looked up at Third Master Qin, and saw Third Master Qin nodded at her. She lowered her head and closed her eyes again, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Ming, I will also take my leave first gone."

"Well, you can go." This time Yang Shuhui didn't make things difficult for Chen Xuanyu anymore, she just snorted coldly in her heart and thought that it would be better if she left, so that she wouldn't be stuck here in her eyes.

With Mrs. Zhou's consent, Chen Xuanyu left the reception room with the tea tray. When the door closed, she lost all strength and leaned against the wall. Manager Liu, who was guarding outside, quickly took the tea tray from her hand and supported her. Chen Xuanyu stared blankly at Lingxi, who had been picked up by Secretary Ming and walked away. Thinking about what happened to her today, the tears couldn't stop falling. Manager Liu quickly persuaded her in a low voice, " My good girl, now is not the time to cry, let's go."

***

Ah Cheng arranged for Lingxi's assistants to go back separately, and then ordered the staff in the ballroom to bring a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and after feeding Lingxi half a bowl, he couldn't keep feeding, "Brother Ah Cheng, I don't want to eat it." Yes, I want to go back."

Ah Cheng touched Lingxi's forehead with his hand, and found that the temperature was still quite high, "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, but how do you go back in this state, we have to go to the hospital now, your forehead is so hot now."

"My forehead is hot because I'm angry. I'll be fine after calming down for a while. I don't want to go to the hospital. Let's go to the clinic to buy some medicine, go back, take some sleep, and then I'll be fine." They were all a little hoarse, and their voice became small and weak, like a newborn kitten.

Ah Cheng refused without thinking, "No, you have to go to the hospital, this matter is not negotiable."

Lingxi hugged Ah Cheng's waist and buried her face in his arms, her voice sounded broken, "Brother Ah Cheng, I don't want to go to the hospital..."

"Lingxi..." Ah Cheng was very helpless, Lingxi hugged his waist, begged and acted coquettishly, which made him soft-hearted. Only reason still insisted on telling him that he couldn't let her do whatever she wanted and never get sick. Hospital.

"I really don't want to go to the hospital, I hate hospitals..."

In the end, Ah Cheng compromised under Lingxi's offensive. In his memory, Lingxi's body was indeed better in the past, not as weak and easy to get sick as other girls. He took Lingxi to buy antipyretics and returned to the hospital. In the Ming mansion, Lingxi fell asleep after taking the medicine, he was worried and stayed at home without going anywhere, and went to her room to see her once an hour, and he could go to the hospital in time if the condition recurred.

However, in the end, Lingxi did not escape the fate of going to the hospital. When Ah Cheng went in to see her at almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Lingxi was already completely burned and red, and Ah Cheng had no choice but to hug her and rush to the hospital. went.
