Chapter 17 You're going to collect the trash in my house?
Lin Xi blushed and quickly explained, "No, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh," Bai Tiantian muttered softly, "they look quite like a married couple."
Lin Xi sighed, "Who can control Tian Tian's mouth?"
She stole a glance at Song Xu, wondering if he had heard her; it was so embarrassing.
Song Xu's expression didn't change, so he probably didn't hear it, and Lin Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The bald man was taken away by the police, and the crowd dispersed.
Bai Tiantian was pushed away by Lin Xi, who told her to return to her seat.
Song Xu stared at Lin Xi and asked, "Should I also sign a contract with you, so you won't be restless and run around everywhere?"
Lin Xi felt guilty and kept her head down, not daring to look at Song Xu. "I just want to earn enough for tuition. School starts soon, and I don't have enough money."
Song Xu raised an eyebrow; he had forgotten about it. He took out his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to Lin Xi, saying, "This is an advance of one month's salary. The debt will be settled starting from October."
Lin Xi's eyes widened when she saw the 20,000 yuan transferred to her account. This amount of money was enough to cover her tuition and living expenses for two years.
"Thank you, Mr. Song," Lin Xi bowed to Song Xu, "Then I'll go to work today."
With only a few days left in August, she was already working early as a bonus, having already received so much money.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng were stunned. Wait a minute, when did their boss Xu become so familiar with Lin Xi?
"Brother Xu," Shen Yan asked in a low voice, "what is your relationship with Lin Xi?"
"Can't you tell?" Song Xu glanced at him.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng exchanged a glance, seeing anger in each other's eyes. Xu Ge was trying to poach their man.
Lin Xi was clearly the hourly worker they had hired, but they dared not speak out against her anger and could only swallow their resentment.
Song Xu put on his sunglasses and said to Lin Xi, "Come back with me."
With her tuition fees covered, Lin Xi no longer wanted to be a car model. She nodded and then looked at the staff members still standing beside her, "I quit. I'll wash the clothes and mail them back to you."
“You can quit, but you have to compensate us for the losses,” the organizer’s staff member said coldly. “Because of your impulsiveness, our auto show has been greatly negatively impacted, and you have to take responsibility for that.”
"How do you want her to take responsibility?" Song Xu asked dismissively.
"We will have our lawyers send her a lawyer's letter; the specific amount of compensation will be included in the letter," the staff member said.
"This..." Lin Xi panicked a little. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she bear such unreasonable consequences?
Song Xu raised his hand, and Lin Xi obediently shut her mouth.
"Then I'll wait for Attorney Song's lawyer's letter." Song Xu smiled slightly, but the smile was mocking.
Too lazy to waste words with these people, Song Xu grabbed Lin Xi's wrist and pulled her away.
Lin Xi followed Song Xu's pace with small, quick steps.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng walked behind the two.
Three handsome men and one beautiful woman, the four of them together, became an eye-catching sight in the exhibition hall.
Song Xu is tall with long legs and a fast pace. Lin Xi, wearing a bodycon skirt and high heels, couldn't take long strides and couldn't keep up with Song Xu's speed even when she was jogging.
She wasn't used to wearing high heels to begin with, and when she ran too fast, she lost her footing on one foot and twisted her ankle. She lurched forward with the momentum, crying out, "Ouch!"
Song Xu was still holding one of her wrists. Hearing Lin Xi's cry, he lifted her up and pulled her into his arms to support her. "Are you alright?"
Lin Xi's eyes were filled with tears. It really hurt. She looked down at her foot. It wasn't deformed or dislocated, so the bones shouldn't be broken.
"Did you hurt your foot?" Shen Yan squatted down to check Lin Xi's ankle and pressed on a certain spot.
"Ouch!" Lin Xi pulled her foot back, stepped on the ground, and tried to take a few steps, but as soon as she touched the ground, she hissed in pain.
“It seems like you’ve injured your ligaments and can’t move around freely,” Shen Yan said, standing up. “How about I carry you?”
“You’re not strong enough, let me carry you,” Xiao Heng said, pushing Shen Yan aside.
Lin Xi looked at Shen Yan and then at Xiao Heng. She felt it wasn't appropriate for either of them to carry her. Actually, she could take off her high heels and hop back slowly.
"I……"
Lin Xi had barely uttered a single word when her feet left the ground as Song Xu swept her up in his arms.
"President Song!" Lin Xi exclaimed, struggling to get down. "I can try to walk by myself."
"Don't move around," Song Xu said coldly. "Today is considered a work injury. If it gets serious, I'll have to find someone to take care of you."
Lin Xi dared not move; her ankle was sprained quite badly, and an ankle injury at this time was really making things difficult.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng both slapped themselves. They were too stupid and too slow. Look at their brother Xu, he didn't even ask and just carried them in a princess carry, not even giving them a chance to refuse. How despicable.
Song Xu glanced back at them. Shen Yan and Xiao Heng straightened up, afraid that Song Xu would notice something.
"Yanzi, take off your coat." Song Xu's gaze fell on Shen Yan's upper body.
Shen Yan wore a black linen short-sleeved jacket over his white T-shirt. He didn't immediately realize why he was being asked to take off his jacket until he noticed Lin Xi's hand tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
He quickly took off his coat and draped it over Lin Xi. He couldn't hug the beauty, but having his clothes touching her skin was better than Xiao Heng.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Lin Xi nodded slightly to Shen Yan in gratitude. "I will wash the clothes and return them to you later."
Shen Yan was about to say that they didn't need to be washed, but Song Xu spoke up a step faster, "No need to wash, just throw them away. Anyway, he basically only wears his clothes once."
"Huh?" Lin Xi was shocked. Rich people are so capricious.
Shen Yan's eye twitched. He didn't have that many clothes. This black coat was new, and he had only worn it for an hour. Was he going to be thrown away?
Xiao Heng couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
Lin Xi felt it was such a waste to throw away such nice clothes. "Mr. Chen, I'll wash them and sell them for you on a second-hand platform."
Shen Yan was taken aback. In their circle, only some girls liked to sell clothes they had worn a few times when they were bored. Most of the boys found it troublesome and would just throw them away if they didn't like wearing them anymore.
However, it would be a good option if someone could help them sell it. He nodded, "Sure, I'll give you half the money."
"Half is too much," Lin Xi thought, and a brilliant idea flashed in her mind when she heard that she could share the money with her. "I'll help you take photos, upload and mail them, and work as customer service. I'll earn a little money for my hard work, and you can give me 10% of it."
Shen Yan's eyes lit up. "Great! I have a lot of stuff at home that I want to throw away. You can help me sell it all."
"My family has a lot too, can we really sell them?" Xiao Heng asked, joining in the fun.
"I can give it a try first." Lin Xi seemed to see countless gold ingots falling on her head; this was much more profitable than collecting and selling plastic bottles.
Song Xu was unhappy about being ignored. He snorted and said, "You want to collect garbage in my house? Did you ask for my opinion?"
