Chapter 248 Telling Horror Stories at Night
"Of course there's extra charge for overtime. 1,000 yuan an hour. Here's the payment code."
He Tingchen took out the WeChat payment code from the drawer and placed it on the table.
Lin Rushuang was stunned. She didn't expect that He Tingchen still kept this payment code.
She was suddenly doubtful now.
"Could this payment code of yours be specially prepared for me?"
He Tingchen touched his chin, as if he had received some advice from Lin Rushang.
"Well, if you put it that way, I think it makes sense. Should I write on it that it's for Lin Rushuang only?"
Lin Rushuang shrank her neck and said, "No need, an hour is enough."
Even if she went out to find a coffee shop, it would be cheaper than He Tingchen's study.
How can it be as expensive as one thousand yuan an hour?
He Tingchen bent his fingers and gently scratched Lin Rushuang's nose, chuckling.
"You're smarter than a dog, how can I make money from you?"
Although Lin Rushuang knew that He Tingchen didn't need this little money at all, she had spent a lot of his money on eating and drinking here recently.
I guess it's this man's bad taste that's at work.
Sometimes it is a sin to have too much money and too little time.
However, sometimes she wished she could bear this sin herself.
After Lin Rushuang left, Yang Xin walked forward curiously and said, "Quick, tell the truth. What were you two doing in there? Why did you stay there for so long?"
Lin Rushuang thought of what He Tingchen had just said and sighed.
"I almost got blackmailed. Let's go. We only have an hour."
She pulled Yang Xin towards He Tingchen's study.
But soon, Lin Rushang suddenly understood why He Tingchen said he would charge her one thousand yuan per hour for overtime.
This is not a study, it is clearly a paradise on earth!
She had been here for such a long time, and this was her first time entering He Tingchen's study. She was very self-aware and knew that the study was usually a forbidden area for men.
And if any secrets were leaked out, she would be in trouble.
Yang Xin looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh my God, is this really a study?"
The interior is filled with cool colors and the lighting is slightly dim but stylish. The books and expensive art pieces displayed on the shelves look like suspended geometric installations under the blur of hidden light strips.
And it was a bird's-eye view. Opposite the bookshelf was a special shelf for red wine. Lin Rushuang looked at several brands, all of which were very expensive.
Yang Xin had never seen such a scene before, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, but Lin Rushang stopped her in time.
"Don't move. If you break even one bottle of wine in here, it would be enough to pay you several years' salary."
When Yang Xin heard Lin Rushuang's words, he was so scared that he quickly pulled his hand back.
“So expensive!”
Lin Rushuang spoke frankly: "Do you think He Tingchen would drink cheap wine given his personality?"
Yang Xin nodded in agreement: "That's true."
She didn't care: "Let's get started."
Lin Rushang pulled out a chair and sat down.
Time passed quickly during the discussion between the two of them, and it was almost an hour.
Yang Xin began to pack her things. "But speaking of which, Rushuang, I'm really worried. What if Li Wenyuan and the Li family find out and they take revenge on you?"
Lin Rushuang was quite open-minded.
"What's the point of being afraid? I can't run away like I did five years ago. Besides, Li Wenyuan and the others are just going too far and are almost bullying me. If I continue to be like before, wouldn't that be too weak?"
Yang Xin sighed, "Honestly, I'd actually rather have you follow Mr. Li's uncle. That way, at least I can give you an extra layer of protection. Even if Li Wenyuan is doing this for his uncle's sake, he won't go too far."
Lin Rushang thought for a moment and blurted out.
"Isn't He Tingchen okay?"
Yang Xin touched his chin. "Actually, Mr. He is also very good, but Mr. He is... well, what I mean is, I always feel that Mr. He seems really heartless and sentimental. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Rushuang understood what Yang Xin meant. After all, He Tingchen didn't look like the type of person who would stand up for others.
The same is true of the rumors about him in the circle. He will not interfere in anything that is not his own business.
Lin Rushuang thought about it again and again: "Actually, you shouldn't think that way. Who knows what kind of person this Li Wenyuan's uncle is? Maybe he's even weirder and more difficult to deal with than He Tingchen. Maybe he's a pervert or something like that, right?"
After hearing what Lin Rushang said, Yang Xin nodded immediately.
"You're right. Who can really tell? Besides, this person is always elusive. For so many years, there's been no news of him in the circle. Maybe he really has some psychological problems."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and their imaginations ran wild.
"There's also that kind, maybe a tyrant, who's specifically designed to torture people. I saw that TV show a while ago, wasn't it? It was about a rich CEO or something, and he looked so gentle, but when people got to know him, they found out he was a complete tyrant."
When Lin Rushang heard what Yang Xin said, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Knock knock…”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"ah!"
The two people screamed in unison.
The door was opened, and He Tingchen's handsome face stared at the two panicked women with a cold and stern look.
"Why, are you two playing Ouija?"
This is what usually happens in horror movies: a few friends get together in a room to play with the Ouija board, and they get so engrossed in it that they feel like they're about to come into contact with the supernatural entity.
What strange noise was made at this critical moment?
It really scares people to death.
Lin Rushuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was He Tingchen.
"We were just telling horror stories."
"Oh, is it a story about a supernatural being?" He Tingchen asked casually.
Lin Rushang was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, you could say that."
He Tingchen nodded: "Well, let's talk about the story about the transformation you mentioned tonight."
"Huh?" Lin Rushuang was stunned on the spot. "Today... today we don't have to sing?"
Why are you suddenly telling horror stories again?
"Yes, no need to sing. Let's tell a story tonight. I want to know how unpredictable Li Wenyuan's uncle is."
After He Tingchen finished speaking, the door was closed again.
Following a bang, Lin Rushang and Yang Xin felt their hearts trembling.
Lin Rushang turned her neck stiffly and looked at Yang Xin.
"What happened to him?"
Why does it feel so weird?
Yang Xin shook his head in confusion and spoke dully.
"I don't know either."
Lin Rushang mouthed something to Yang Xin, and Yang Xin saw through it.
She was talking about being sick.
While eating, Lin Rushuang always felt that the atmosphere at the table seemed a little off, especially He Tingchen. His face, which was originally cold, now looked as if it was covered with a layer of ash from the bottom of a pot, almost becoming completely black.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
Yang Xin kicked Lin Rushang's foot secretly and asked in a low voice.
"Boss He, do you dislike me eating here?"
