I left Zhang Dafu's gold shop.
Hu Ling got into her private car without saying a word to Chen Zhe and the others.
The group was filled with trepidation; the excitement they had felt from the money was now suppressed by the atmosphere.
Hu Ling returned all the two piles of gold to Zhang Xin'ai at the secondhand market price.
Subtracting the money Zhang Xin'ai just gave them, they still have 15 million.
Sister Hu didn't get a single penny.
Chen Zhe felt the bank card in his hand was heavy.
The entire 15 million was deposited into his account.
Mo Xiaohong came up and asked with some concern, "Chen Zhe, do you think Sister Hu will fire us?"
Her worries were the same as those girls' worries, because Sister Hu had repeatedly emphasized that they should not cause trouble outside. Now that they had caused such a big problem, they would be happier if Sister Hu hit or scolded them, but now Sister Hu left without saying a word, which made them a little scared.
"Probably not... If she wanted to fire us, she wouldn't have come just now..."
"Then why isn't Sister Hu saying anything?"
"I feel that Sister Hu is scarier when she doesn't speak than when she does..."
"Why don't we give all this money to Sister Hu?"
The girls chattered excitedly, offering their suggestions.
Chen Zhe also felt that it was best not to keep the money; holding onto it now was like holding a hot potato.
"Chen Zhe, you were recruited by Sister Hu, can you go and say the word for us?"
Mo Xiaohong said.
Chen Zhe nodded. He had to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter, because it was all his fault.
"Okay! I'll go tell them!"
...
Lin Meiyu came again tonight.
Seeing that Chen Zhe was distracted while massaging his shoulders, she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
"I……"
Chen Zhe didn't know how to bring it up. He had been thinking about Hu Ling all evening at work.
Lin Meiyu seems to be in a pretty good mood today.
"Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can give you some advice!"
Chen Zhe thought of the relationship between Hu Ling and Lin Meiyu. Hu Ling was very respectful to Lin Meiyu, and Lin Meiyu dared to tease Hu Ling. Listening to her advice would be a good idea.
He recounted everything that had happened that day.
"No wonder I saw bruises all over your face. Well... you were indeed at fault, but Hu Ling probably won't take the money."
"Why?"
“I know Hu Ling’s character. I’ve never seen her take money from her subordinates. If she doesn’t mention it, then it means the money was given to you.”
"But...but why isn't Sister Hu saying anything? She must be unhappy with us."
"Hehe, it's normal to be dissatisfied. Who told you to cause such a big incident? I heard you say that, but the matter also involves the daughter of Zhang Dafu, right?"
"Yeah, that's right, she helped us too."
"That's the problem. When wealthy people interact, it's always a give-and-take situation. Miss Zhang helped you, so Hu Ling owes her a favor. That's what she's struggling with."
"Oh? Is that so? But if the gold is discounted, Miss Zhang still makes a profit!"
"Do you think she cares about this little bit of money? What they care about is interpersonal relationships. Hu Ling owes her this time, and she'll have to pay it back next time. If you want to get her forgiveness, there's only one way."
"What method?"
"You should find a way to make that young lady owe you a favor, or you can find someone else, as long as you can make her owe you a favor once. Chen Zhe, don't underestimate the power of favors. For someone in this position, owing someone even once is a very serious matter."
Chen Zhe kept Lin Meiyu's words in mind.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Lin. I'll remember it."
"Okay, come sleep with me for a bit, don't think too much!"
"ah???"
Chen Zhe seemed to have a strong reaction.
Lin Meiyu laughed; "What are you thinking? It's just a hug, what else do you want, you brat?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare!!"
Lin Meiyu seemed to really enjoy his hug, and fell asleep in his arms in less than five minutes.
Holding Lin Meiyu's soft waist, Chen Zhe was still thinking about what she had just said.
Where am I supposed to find someone to repay Sister Hu for this favor...?
...
He still couldn't figure it out even after Lin Meiyu left.
Given his current status and position, he has no way of meeting such high-ranking people except in the club.
But how could someone of this status and position possibly owe others a favor?
Chen Zhe was a little troubled, but when he got off work, he decided to go and apologize to Hu Ling first.
But Hu Ling wasn't there. Mei Xiaoting looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "I heard you made some money today."
"Sister Mei, please stop making fun of us. I bet Sister Hu is still angry."
"Haha, it's normal for Sister Hu to be angry. Who told you not to listen to me? Now you realize how serious the problem is, right?"
"Sister Mei, can you give me some advice?"
Mei Xiaoting shook her head; "I don't have any ideas, you'll have to figure it out yourselves. But don't overthink it. Qianqian came to see me earlier, she was worried they'd be fired. Let me tell you first, you don't need to worry about that. Sister Hu is very magnanimous. Just do what you need to do."
"But……"
"No buts! By the way, you can keep that money yourselves. Qianqian just mentioned their concerns. Knowing Sister Hu as I do, she won't take the money. Go downstairs and divide it with them later."
Is this appropriate?
Chen Zhe asked with some concern.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Do you intend to embezzle it?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm still worried about Sister Hu..."
"Alright, if you're worried, you won't solve the problem. Just be more careful in the future and don't cause another incident like today!"
"Sister Mei, don't worry, we won't do it again!"
"Okay, go down!"
"good!"
...
When Chen Zhe returned to his dormitory, he found that all the girls had entered his room and were looking at him with worried expressions.
Chen Zhe sighed softly.
"Let's split this money..."
"Oh? What about Sister Hu's side?"
Chen Zhe explained it to them, and they were much more at ease than Chen Zhe was. They were all very happy to hear Sister Mei say that Sister Hu wouldn't take the money.
Each person could receive hundreds of thousands, which made them extremely excited. Several bold girls even came over to flirt with Chen Zhe.
They said this was tonight's overnight fee.
Chen Zhe certainly didn't believe that statement was true.
He managed to "difficultly" get them all out, and as he lay alone in bed, he was still thinking.
"This matter can't be left like this, otherwise Sister Hu will definitely be very disappointed in me..."
Hu Ling was a benefactor who changed the course of his life. The longer Chen Zhe stayed here, the more he understood that if he wanted to succeed, he had to seize every opportunity.
After thinking it over, he still felt that Lin Meiyu's words made a lot of sense.
"Looks like I still need to think of a way to help Sister Hu get her favor back..."
