After scanning the warehouse, he found that Guan Ming was still there, so he had no choice but to walk up to him with a thick skin and hesitantly wrote: "Guan Ming, could you please lend me a thousand yuan? I have something urgent to attend to, and I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Guan Ming looked at the note, his eyes full of concern: "Sure, but what happened to you? You can tell me, maybe I can help you."
Xiang Jin shook her head; she couldn't say.
"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." He put down the package in his hand, dusted himself off, went back to his car, took out a thousand yuan, and handed it to her.
"Thanks."
She put the money in her bag, opened her umbrella, and headed towards the city center.
She hadn't taken two steps when a car suddenly stopped beside her.
"Xiangjin, let me give you a ride." Guan Ming rolled down the car window.
On the other side, after replying to the message, Murong Xiao tossed his phone to Su Ming and then went to the bathroom to tidy himself up.
Fortunately, that woman didn't leave any lip prints on my clothes, otherwise it would have been impossible to explain.
No, why should he explain? Although she is his wife, it is normal for Murong Xiao to have several women around him. Why should he explain to her?
………………
With Ming driving, Xiang Jin quickly arrived at Fengrong Group.
"Thank you," Xiang Jin said again.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Guan Ming didn't ask her what she needed to do, assuming it was just to find Feng Rong's employee, and there was nothing to ask.
Xiang Jin wanted to refuse, but she couldn't go back to Fengjia Village alone, so she could only nod.
Fengrong Group is located in the core area of Huadu. Its headquarters occupies an entire building and is the most dazzling place in Huadu, extremely magnificent.
She looked up at the building and thought to herself, "I'll never be qualified to enter such a dazzling place in my lifetime."
Upon entering the lobby, she found it bustling with people and heavily guarded, which made her inexplicably nervous. Xiang Jin looked around and found the reception desk.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The receptionist was very polite and considerate.
"Hello, Murong Xiao asked me to come." Xiang Jin saw that there was paper and pen next to her, so she simply wrote it down.
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked.
"No...no."
"I'm sorry, we can't take you upstairs without an appointment," the receptionist said. "If you need anything, please let us know and we'll pass it on for you."
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and handed the envelope to the receptionist: "Please give this to him for me, thank you."
A corner of a red bill peeked out from the envelope, and the receptionist was slightly surprised: "This is..."
"Give him his money back."
The receptionist was even more surprised.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and it was a stack of banknotes that didn't amount to much. Did her boss even care about such a small amount of money? It probably wasn't even worth as much as a scrap of his clothing.
"Okay, is there anything I need to pass on?" the receptionist asked.
Xiang Jin was silent for a moment, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote on a sticky note: Thank you for saving my life.
Then I stuck a note on the envelope and handed it to the front desk.
As Xiang Jin left the building, he felt a great sense of relief. Not having to meet her face-to-face was a mercy in itself. Besides, he was incredibly busy and probably wouldn't have time to see someone as insignificant as her.
As Xiang Jin walked toward the parking lot, she hadn't gone more than a few steps when a large group of bodyguards suddenly rushed up and surrounded her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiang."
It was the same receptionist as before, but her tone was much more polite and respectful: "Our boss would like to invite you upstairs."
……………………
The receptionist handed Xiang Jin over to a secretary, and surrounded by two bodyguards, they took the VIP elevator directly to the top floor of the building.
After exiting the elevator, I walked around a garden and arrived at the door of the president's office.
The secretary knocked on the door, and after a reply came through her earpiece, she pushed the door open and led Xiang Jin inside.
"Mr. Xiao, the guests have arrived." The secretary said to Murong Xiao by the window, then quietly withdrew.
In the huge office, only the two of them remained.
Xiang Jin suddenly tensed up. She pinched her hand, forcing herself to meet the figure.
The figure stood sideways, fiddling with an envelope in his hand, a hint of disdain in his smile: "Miss Xiang, are you joking with me?"
Xiang Jin clenched the hem of her clothes, somewhat confused about his meaning.
“A VIP ward costs 20,000 yuan an hour, plus registration fees, medical fees, and nursing fees… Miss Xiang only offered me 1,000 yuan. Are you sure you're not joking?” He finally turned his head and looked at her.
Feeling his sharp, piercing gaze, Xiang Jin's steps became unsteady.
She used sign language: "I'm sorry, I don't know. Could you... give me some more time? I'll definitely give you the money."
That day, she didn't even realize she was staying in a VIP room, and she knew nothing about medications, but now it seems like it would cost at least 100,000 yuan.
Tens of thousands... Even if you sold her, you couldn't come up with that much.
“Miss Xiang, I don’t have the habit of buying on credit.” He walked towards her, and she subconsciously took a step back.
This action did not escape Murong Xiao's notice, and he frowned.
“I will definitely give it to you, it just takes some time. You weren’t such a calculating person before, could you give me some more time?” As she was writing, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up and saw the man standing in front of her, looking at what she was writing.
"How do you know what kind of person I used to be?" He accurately seized on her weakness.
Xiang Jin lowered her head: "I...I heard it."
Seeing her lowered eyes, the man felt a pang in his heart. He looked into her eyes and said, "Then you're in trouble. Don't take rumors seriously. I'm the kind of person who likes to nitpick."
"Not only medical expenses, but I also bought you a bracelet at the Xiang family's last visit. Miss Xiang, aren't you going to repay this favor?"
Swish swish——
Xiang Jin looked up at him.
As she lifted her head, she met his deep, wolf-like eyes. As if bewitched, she instinctively gestured, "This... how do I return it?"
He smirked: "How do you plan to pay me back?"
Xiang Jin gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. The cheapest way was of course to pay back the money, but—she had no money left.
Should I borrow from Shuangshuang? No, if Shuangshuang knew about what happened last time, she would definitely be angry and worried.
After thinking it over and over, she couldn't come up with a solution, so she sighed and said, "How do you want me to pay you back?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly and moved closer to her: "Since Miss Xiang wants to repay the life-saving grace, it would be good to repay her with your body."
As soon as he said it, Murong Xiao was stunned.
Ha, is he missing her body? After being aroused by the last woman, he can't wait to have her?
No, that can't be it. He just thought the game was fun, that's all.
