Chapter 5 Rescue

Chen Lingling has been worried about Lin You these days. She works in the Human Resources Department and is afraid that one day she will receive an order to fire Lin You.

On the contrary, the person involved, Lin You, remained calm from beginning to end.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

At afternoon tea time, Chen Lingling brought her coffee and pulled her to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Lin You had a message coming in, typing on his phone, not looking up, speaking in a casual tone.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't done anything illegal or criminal."

Chen Lingling rolled her eyes. "No, you've made Mr. Shi lose face so much, aren't you worried about his revenge?"

"Is worrying useful?" Lin You was still sending messages.

Chen Lingling thought for a moment, "That's true. We're just ordinary people, and those big shots can easily deal with us with just a flick of their fingers. It would be so frustrating to do nothing and just wait to die."

After Lin You finished sending the message, he looked up and said, "It's not like waiting to die. I will do my best to save the relationship."

Chen Lingling: "What do you mean?"

Lin You raised his phone and said, "I was just asking He Xuan what Mr. Shi likes. I'm planning to buy him an apology gift."

This method...

"That's Mr. Shi. Does he need a gift from you?" Chen Lingling felt that this idea was not very good.

Lin You put the phone back in his pocket. "Whether it's missing or not is one thing, my attitude is another. After all, I bumped into someone and embarrassed them. Even if the person who was bumped into wasn't Mr. Shi, this apology is what I should do."

"That's true." Chen Lingling came closer and asked curiously, "Then what does He Xuan always like when he talks about it?"

Lin You smiled softly, "He Xuan said... Mr. Shi's preferences cannot be known to anyone other than me!"

Chen Lingling: “…”

After get off work, Lin You planned to go to Nangu Street. The distance was not close and it would take about 40 minutes by subway.

In order to save time, she jogged all the way to the subway station.

She was wearing flat shoes and carrying a cross-body bag. As she ran on the sidewalk, her bangs were blown up, revealing her smooth forehead. With her slightly red cheeks, she no longer had the rigidity she had at the company, but instead had a kind of straightforwardness that didn't care about the lives of others.

A black car was waiting for the traffic light not far away. Shi Jingyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, turned his head inadvertently.

I just happened to see a delicate woman running, with her skirt slightly lifted up, revealing a slender waist that could be held in one hand.

Shi Jingyuan: “…”

That waist is so white that it's a little too dazzling.

Lin You ran fast and his figure soon disappeared at the subway entrance.

Nangu Street is an antique street, usually a place where tourists from all over the world come to check in and take photos.

In order to attract tourists, the authorities have invited some special masters to come here. Among them is a master who makes traditional Poria cocos and celery fish cakes. His cakes are sweet but not greasy, fresh and delicious.

According to He Xuan, he often ran errands for Mr. Shi to buy cakes here, so this cake must be Mr. Shi's favorite.

Lin You walked on the street for more than twenty minutes according to the navigation on his mobile phone, but still couldn't find the old master's shop.

Did she come to the wrong place?

She hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to He Xuan.

When He Xuan received the message, he had just sent Mr. Shi to the door of the villa.

Today was just a simple dinner, no drinking involved, so it ended quickly.

He glanced at the content of the message, bravely chased after him, and stopped Shi Jingyuan who was about to enter the door.

"Mr. Shi..." He Xuan forced a slightly stiff smile, "It's been a while since you asked me to buy the traditional Chinese-style Poria Cocos and Celery Fish Cake. Do you want some? I'll go get it..."

Shi Jingyuan was startled. He looked down at his watch and turned to walk out of the villa. "Now that you mention it, I really feel like eating. It's still early, let's go straight over."

He Xuan was shocked, "Huh?"

Shi Jingyuan: "Freshly baked, it tastes better."

He Xuan: “…”

That's not what he meant. He just wanted to ask indirectly whether the store had moved to another location.

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car." Shi Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

He Xuan swallowed angrily, opened the passenger door and got in.

On the way, he called Lin You several times, but the phone was always turned off. He didn't know if she was still waiting for his news in Nangu Street.

The red lanterns on both sides of the road sway with warm light, creating an atmospheric atmosphere. Tourists browsing the ancient street are looking for the best photo spots in every corner.

Lin You walked among the tourists and asked several staff members before she found the dim sum shop on the next street.

It turned out that due to the transformation of the landscape, the master's shop was temporarily moved to the next street.

This master craftsman is really famous, and there is already a long queue in front of the shop.

Lin You stood at the back of the team with an empty stomach, and the team moved forward slowly.

Half an hour later, it was finally her turn.

"Miss, this is a new flavor that was just developed today, and each person is limited to one portion! Would you like another one in addition to the one just now?" The staff packed the snack and handed it to her.

Lin You smiled and said yes, took the snack in one hand and used his mobile phone to scan the code to pay in the other.

Black screen!

I don't know when my phone ran out of battery and turned off!

She changed her bag when she left home this morning, and now she doesn't have a dime in cash...

Her cell phone was turned off, she had no cash, and the people in the queue behind her and the pastry shop staff were all staring at her.

It's embarrassing that I can afford a three-bedroom apartment!

Lin You pursed her lips, struggled for a while, and then put the snack back.

"Sorry, I'm not buying it."

The cakes were sold in limited quantities. Lin You stood next to the shop and watched the last cake being bought.

When Shi Jingyuan turned the corner, he saw a quiet and beautiful woman standing in the dim candlelight in the dim light.

Her eyes were pure and clear yet full of regret, like an exquisite statue made of top-grade white porcelain. Her perfect appearance was shocking enough, but her otherworldly demeanor was even more impressive.

He Xuan also saw Lin You. He was about to wave and call her, but suddenly thought of something. He put down his hand angrily, and his face showed obvious guilt.

Shi Jingyuan had guessed about 70% of what was going on by looking at his reaction.

"You're so capable that you even dare to reveal my preferences to others." Shi Jingyuan sneered.

He Xuan smiled innocently and didn't dare to say anything.

Shi Jingyuan turned and walked away, saying, "This month's performance bonus will be deducted in half."

When He Xuan heard this, he immediately wailed and quickened his pace to catch up and explain.

"Mr. Shi, Sister Lin just wanted to buy you a gift to apologize. She really didn't mean to do that in the cafeteria a few days ago..."

Before he could finish his words, Jingyuan, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped.

He turned back and walked forward, passing He Xuan.

When He Xuan reacted, he found that Shi Jingyuan had already walked in front of Lin You.
