C39 A Good Friend of China
Tang Lingxi's eyes were blazing as she angrily looked at Zhou Ling'er. She felt her scalp tingle as she turned around to run, but was stopped by Tang Ling Hong.
"M-miss Lingxi, it's not my fault!"
"I know!" Tang Lingxi viciously shouted, "Stand here and don't move!"
When Zhou Ling Chen stood up, Tang Lingxi looked at him with worry. When she saw that he was being honest, she immediately ran to her room and took out a bunch of bags — the clothes that Dongling Northern Chen had ordered her to bring over a few days ago.
Tang Lingxi thought for a moment before deciding to leave the bright red dress behind. She then carried a bunch of bags and hung them on Zhou Ling'er's body.
"What is this?"
"Sell it!"
This time, even Jiang Meili was dumbfounded, and Zhou Ling'er almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"No way, no way. This is clothes that Boss Dongling specifically ordered me to bring over."
"Are you selling!" Tang Lingxi raised her fork and aimed it at Zhou Ling's throat.
"I'm not selling!" Zhou Ling Chen swallowed his saliva and stretched his neck. He was born to be the boss of Dongling; his death was the boss's ghost.
"Then I'll call the Dongling Northern Chen and tell them that you sold all my supplements."
Zhou Ling Chen's expression changed. This was simply a beast, a bandit, and a bandit!
If the owner of Dongling knew that it was him who had sold the supplement for money, he would probably lose his job!
"If you continue to help me sell my clothes, I won't complain."
Zhou Ling Chen's mind raced as she thought about it. Selling supplies was already a heinous crime, and selling clothes after that would be a capital offense.
"Let me ask you, I only need to wear that dress on Cheng Linglong's birthday, right?"
"Right." Zhou Ling Chen nodded.
"Then these clothes are all mine. I have the right to dispose of them, right?"
"Right." It seemed to make some sense.
"Then help me sell it. I'll go buy some clothes that I like, isn't that better? Right? Anyway, you just need to wear that on the day of the birthday banquet, right?"
"Right, that's true …"
Tang Lingxi's smile became even brighter. "Wouldn't it be more pleasing to our boss if I wore clothes that I like?"
Zhou Ling'er saw that the fork was almost at her throat, so she quickly nodded.
"Right, right."
"That's good."
Tang Lingxi withdrew her fork and patted Zhou Ling'er's shoulder.
"Go on, I'm optimistic about you, Big Brother Ling Chen." Tang Lingxi turned around and shot a coquettish glance at the dumbstruck Jiang Meili. "Big sister will make a fortune!"
Zhou Ling Chen rushed out of the room with a bag full of famous clothes all over her body.
He definitely had to tell the Dongling Northern ChenChen that he would not serve Tang Lingxi anymore, even if he had to die. He had to find a new servant for Tang Lingxi. He had to pay for it!
Tang Lingxi waited for two whole days, but Zhou Ling Chen still did not come back. At the same time, the people from the East Tomb of North Chen also did not appear.
It would be good if he didn't show up. If he found out that he had sold all of the clothes that Zhang Xuan gifted him, he would probably take out a gun and shoot himself!
Tang Lingxi had some opinions in her heart now that Zhou Ling had delayed so much for Mao's sake.
As expected, people shouldn't be praised. A single praise could cause one's chain to fall off.
In the evening, Zhou Ling Chen came with dark circles under his eyes.
"Brother Ling Chen, were you beaten up?" Tang Lingxi asked in concern, but when he walked in, her expression changed. "What's the meaning of this?"
Zhou Ling Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She pulled out the big and small bag hanging on her arm, and revealed a bitter face.
Tang Lingxi took the bag from him. Wasn't this the same set of clothes she had asked him to sell earlier? Did she just take it back?
He really couldn't help but praise it!
Zhou Ling'er rolled her eyes, and immediately cried out, "My dear aunt, do you know how expensive your clothes are? Where there is someone who wants them, these custom-made limited clothes have names and faces. If you take them, you'll know who bought them. Isn't that asking for my life?"
Tang Lingxi opened her eyes wide as if she was innocent.
"Spare me. If I sell it, I'll find out that they're selling my boss's clothes. I have both old and young friends …"
"Stop, stop, stop …" Tang Lingxi quickly pressed down on Zhou Ling'er's shoulder.
He was truly speechless. The first time he saw Zhou Ling Chen, he was an ice-cold gun-toting man. Why didn't they see him for a few days? It was as if he was a grieving wife!
"Can't you sell it to some small places at a low price?"
"I've asked around in such a small place, the price I've offered is less than half the original price." Zhou Ling Chen sighed.
It looked like he would have to take matters into his own hands.
Tang Lingxi's eyes were filled with tears. Zhou Ling'er stared blankly. What was she thinking?
"Never mind, brother Ling Chen, you're tired too. Come and rest, I'll peel some fruits for you to eat."
"No, no, no …"
This was the first time that Zhou Ling Chen felt the passion from Tang Lingxi, but she felt a sense of foreboding.
Tang Lingxi held Zhou Ling Chen as she sat down on the sofa. Then, she quickly turned around and picked up an apple and placed it in front of Zhou Ling Chen.
Zhou Ling Chen waved her hand to pull her hand, and Tang Ling Hong once again walked up to her. After many times, Zhou Ling Chen was finally unable to bear it any longer.
"I can't see."
"Huh?"
Only now did Tang Lingxi see that the apple was still pressed against his nose, blocking his sight. She smiled coyly as she retracted her hand and bit into it, letting out a crisp sound.
"Brother Ling Chen, can you do me a favor?"
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Ling Chen felt a chill run down her spine, and she quickly folded her arms across her chest and leaned back.
"Look at how scared you are." Tang Lingxi continued to chew on the apple.
Zhou Ling Chen swallowed her saliva, while Tang Lingxi had a leisurely look on her face.
These clothes are too expensive. It would be a waste if I wear them.
Furthermore, it would be a pity to ruin it at such a high price. It would be such a pain to throw it away!
Tang Lingxi was determined to sell it!
This way, he could get a lot of money and buy whatever clothes he wanted. Moreover, his sister could be considered a rich woman. If she broke her five hundred yuan worth of clothes, he would throw it away.
Tang Lingxi could not help but daydream that this piece of clothing could support a lot of money and could buy dozens of items. When the time came, she would also live a life of wealth and beauty.
— These clothes are useless!
He had to sell it!
"You can't help me sell it, I'll sell it myself."
Zhou Ling Chen let out a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to continue torturing herself.
"Okay, okay. Miss Lingxi will definitely succeed."
"But I have another question." Tang Lingxi raised the half-eaten apple in her hand as she looked at Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he heard her say: "You cover me and take me out of the house."
"No way!"
This was not a small matter. The Northern ChenChen of the East Tomb was specifically instructing Tang Lingxi not to take even half a step outside.
"I'll be gone for ten minutes." Tang Lingxi threw away the apple and looked eagerly at Zhou Ling'er.
"This is absolutely out of the question." Zhou Ling Chen refused righteously, not leaving any room for negotiation.
"If you don't help me, then I'm going to expose you?" Tang Lingxi probed.
Zhou Ling Chen shook her head, her expression unchanging.
Selling supplements and clothes was a small matter. If he were to go out, he might really lose his life.
He wasn't threatened at all, he really was a good secretary!
"Alright, alright. Seeing that you are in a difficult situation, I won't force you."
Only then did Zhou Ling'er's expression relax. After saying a few words, she left.
After her plan failed, Tang Lingxi turned her gaze towards the door of Jiang Meili's room.
A few minutes later, Jiang Meili elegantly carried a pile of clothes bags out the door. The people in the control room saw that it was Jiang Meili. However, half of her face was covered by the clothes bag.
Since Jiang Meili would be out shopping for the next few days, the people from the control room did not step forward to stop her.
Getting off the elevator and out of the main entrance, Jiang Mei quickly crossed the street without looking back and disappeared into the crowd.
Tang Lingxi turned around and smoothed her hair. Her chestnut hair covered her pretty face – it was Tang Lingxi.
He was truly worthy of being a good friend of China!
He and Jiang Meili were about the same height and wore a wig, so he couldn't tell at a glance. Tang Lingxi also stole Jiang Meili's clothes, but he couldn't see anything under the surveillance!
Tang Lingxi hummed a small tune as she lowered her head and moved through the crowd.
