Chapter 14 It's because my brother is too stingy that you went hungry.
Lin Xi locked the door and turned around to see Li Sheng.
"How's your grandma?" Li Sheng asked casually, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Lin Xi's eyes were filled with disgust and hatred for Li Sheng; her grandmother's current state was entirely their family's fault.
She was in a hurry to go to the hospital to be with her grandmother and didn't have the energy or time to waste arguing with Li Sheng. Without even glancing at him, she walked past him and headed towards the stairwell.
Li Sheng felt embarrassed to be left standing there, so he caught up with Lin Xi and said, "Your grandma is old, and her death is a relief. If you have money, don't waste it on the old lady. You should keep it for yourself. You'll need money for many things in the future."
Li Sheng's words made Lin Xi stop in her tracks. She turned around, raised her arm, and slapped Li Sheng across the face with all her might. Lin Xi's palm was both painful and numb.
“Li Sheng, shut your mouth! My grandma will get better!” Lin Xi’s eyes were red as she pointed at Li Sheng. “Don’t push me any further. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If you push me too far, I’m capable of anything!”
Lin Xi glared at Li Sheng and then walked away without looking back.
Li Sheng licked his cracked lips with the tip of his tongue, raised his hand to touch the face that Lin Xi had slapped, and then put his hand to his nose to smell it greedily, as if he could smell the fragrance on Lin Xi's body.
She dared to slap him in the face, that's really ruthless. It seems the only way to make her obey is to sleep with her.
...
Lin Xi stayed with her grandmother at the hospital for three days, but her grandmother remained unconscious and showed no signs of waking up.
She searched online for many cases similar to her grandmother's, and found that many of them had been in a coma for a long time, and some had even become vegetative.
No matter what, she will not give up on getting treatment for her grandmother.
Lin Xi scrolled through the messages on her phone and saw that a part-time job group was recruiting car models. There was a large car show this weekend, and they needed forty car models. The requirement was that the model be over 170cm tall, and the salary was 800 yuan a day including lunch.
Lin Xi was tempted. Her tuition fees weren't enough, and she couldn't possibly borrow money from Song Xu for those too.
However, she was only 168 cm tall, two centimeters short. Lin Xi thought about it and decided that she should try her best, just in case. So she signed up in the group.
She was quickly contacted and told to come for an interview that afternoon.
Lin Xi used the cheapest cosmetics to put on light makeup and wore a sleeveless white dress. This dress was a gift from her grandmother after she received her college entrance exam results, and she had never been willing to wear it.
She tied her hair into a neat bun, slung a crossbody bag she bought for thirty yuan over her shoulder, and went out.
When she arrived at the interview location, there were seventy or eighty tall and beautiful women, and Lin Xi was instantly overshadowed among them.
It wasn't that the height difference was too great; all the other girls were wearing 10-centimeter high heels, while Lin Xi was wearing flat shoes, which made her look very short.
During the interview, you need to take off your shoes to measure your height. Lin Xi took off her shoes and stood next to the height measurement sticker. Someone announced her height as 168.5 centimeters.
She has grown 0.5 centimeters taller, but unfortunately she is still not 170 centimeters tall.
"Teacher, could you give me a chance?" Lin Xi mustered her courage to fight for her opportunity. "I can wear higher heels."
Lin Xi was a little short, but her outstanding appearance and perfect body proportions made the interviewer hesitate.
At that moment, the door to the office next door opened from the inside, and a tall man was seen out by the leader of the auto show organizer with a smile.
"Attorney Song, let me see you out."
Song Chen looked up and saw Lin Xi standing against the wall. He stared at her for two seconds.
"Does Attorney Song know this model?" the organizer asked astutely.
A model? Isn't that Song Xu's housekeeper?
Song Chen nodded. "It's an acquaintance. I'll go over and say hello."
Lin Xi recognized Song Chen at a glance. She quickly lowered her head, intending to continue advocating for herself after Song Chen left.
She didn't expect Song Chen to recognize her and even walk over to greet her.
"Hi, what a coincidence, what brings you here?" Song Chen didn't know Lin Xi's name.
Lin Xi raised her eyes and nodded slightly to Song Chen. "Hello, Mr. Song. I'm here to apply for a car model position."
Song Chen smiled, "It seems my brother is too stingy, and you've gone hungry."
"No," Lin Xi waved her hand hastily, "There was an accident at home that required a lot of money, and President Song has already helped me a lot."
"Just kidding, don't be nervous," Song Chen realized that his words had frightened the girl and felt very apologetic. He quickly said to the organizer behind him, "This girl is someone I know. Please take good care of her."
"Okay, no problem," the organizer replied with a smile, then winked at the interviewers, signaling them to keep the person.
Attorney Song is not just a lawyer; he has the Song family backing him up. Anyone who dares to offend the Song family can forget about surviving in Jiangbei City.
Song Chen smiled at Lin Xi, "Then you go ahead with your work, I have to go now."
"Goodbye, Mr. Song," Lin Xi said respectfully, wanting to bow ninety degrees to Song Chen.
With just a simple sentence from Song Chen, she passed the interview; that's the power of authority.
Lin Xi was hired and given a raise to 1,000 yuan a day.
...
Song Chen returned to Song Xu's apartment that evening.
After opening the door and entering, I saw Song Xu sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.
Song Chen habitually took off his clothes as soon as he entered the room, leaving his overly restrictive shirt, tie, and trousers at the doorway, and sat down next to Song Xu wearing only his underwear.
"Guess who I saw today?" Song Chen took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, and took a puff.
Song Xu doesn't smoke; the cigarettes in the drawer are all for Song Chen.
The two brothers have a close relationship, even closer than brothers in a typical family. Song Chen spends half of his time living here.
The excuse was that Song Xu was afraid of being lonely, but in reality, Song Chen felt that the old Song family mansion had too many rules, restricting his actions and leaving him with no freedom.
Song Xu put down his phone. "Who did you see?"
“That pretty little nanny who used to cook for you,” Song Chen winked at Song Xu, “did you mistreat her? Does she not want to work for you anymore?”
He had been staying here for several days, but the nanny had never come again.
Song Xu narrowed his eyes. "You saw Lin Xi? At Huikang Hospital?"
“Hospital? What would I do at the hospital?” Song Chen shrugged. “Oh, so that nanny’s name is Lin Xi.”
Song Chen pondered the name "Lin Xi." It sounded familiar; he seemed to have heard it before, but he couldn't quite place where.
"Brother?" Song Xu patted Song Chen's shoulder. "Why are you spacing out? What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing," Song Chen smiled as he came back to his senses. "I took on a legal consulting job at a car show these past few days. I ran into Lin Xi when I was signing the contract. She went to apply for a car model job."
"Going to apply for a car model job?" Song Xu raised his eyebrows. He kindly asked Lin Xi to stay with her grandmother for a few days, but she went off to work part-time again. She really doesn't respect him, her boss.
Which auto show did she go to?
