Chapter 71: Good Intentions
Lin You didn't care much, just glanced at it casually and then looked away.
She looked at the darkening sky and said, "Okay, if we don't go back now, we won't be able to take the subway. I'm leaving now, you can get excited slowly."
Chen Lingling responded, waved her hand, and watched her walk into the rain.

Night fell, accompanied by the crackling sound of wind and rain.
The lights in the bar were dim, and several women dressed hotly looked towards the second floor from time to time, trying to attract the attention of those upstairs.
Qian Ling leaned on the railing and raised his glass to one of the beauties from a distance.
The beauty was ready to make a move, but when she touched the man next to Qian Ling, she gave up the idea of going up to him and chatting him up.
Even from such a distance, she could feel the strong anger emanating from this man.
She wanted to climb up the social ladder, but didn't want to be the victim.
Upstairs, Qian Ling saw that the beautiful woman he was about to hook up with had given up, and glared at his friend with a reproachful look.
"Hey, Mr. Shi, we're all out here to have fun, and you've got a gloomy face, scaring off all my romantic interests! Tell me, how many has this been tonight?"
Although he complained, there was no negative emotion on his face.
Nothing could make him happier than signing the cooperation agreement with Qianhe Company. Because of this, he would be willing to give up his love even if Shi Jingyuan scared away his love.
Shi Jingyuan ignored Qian Ling's joke and drank another glass of wine without saying a word.
The alcohol spread and gradually blurred his vision.
Under the dazzling light of the fluorescent tubes, he looked at the people dancing on the dance floor, and the annoyance in his heart increased instead of being needed.
"Qian Ling."
Shi Jingyuan suddenly called him by his full name.
Qian Ling paused and looked over seriously.
The emotions in Shi Jingyuan's eyes were murky and difficult to understand. "During this period of time, ask the people around you to pay more attention."
"What are you looking out for..." Qian Ling said halfway before realizing, "Are you afraid of Yanran doing something?"
Shi Jingyuan was silent.
His silence is a tacit agreement.
Qian Ling also frowned. "That's right. Given her personality, how could she let it go after suffering such a loss?"
This was also what Shi Jingyuan was worried about, so at the beginning, he was prepared to seek justice for Lin You, but he did not intend to let her appear in public.
Qian Ling remembered something and asked, "By the way, I was completely confused by what I heard in the office today. Why did Yanran come to see you?"
Shi Jingyuan turned around and sat back on the sofa, poured another glass of wine, and then answered casually.
"I asked the old man to stop all her cards."
Qian Ling's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "In the name of what? Because she scolded Lin You?"
Shi Jingyuan swirled the wine in his glass, his eyes sharp, "Yeah. But... it's not about cursing, but about the contract signing with Qianhe Company."
"By the way, you just said you didn't want to involve Lin You. Or do you have a way? For a trivial matter like swearing, the old man would never punish Yanran, but if it involves the interests of the company, then the old man will not be lenient."
They are all business people, so it's not surprising that Qian Ling can see this.
However, he still couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder Yanran was so furious. So this is what's behind it? I knew it. Although she's a bit spoiled, she's not the type to take it out on others. Why did she hit someone she didn't like today?"
"So, Lin You is unlucky, right? He just happened to run into an angry Yanran at the elevator entrance."
Fate was so unpredictable. He tried his best to get Lin You out of this matter, but ultimately failed.
After drinking almost all the wine, Shi Jingyuan put down the glass and stood up. Before leaving, he reminded Qian Ling again.
"Don't forget to keep an eye on it for me."
Qian Ling waved at him, "Don't worry."

It rained all night, and although the weather cleared up the next day, the temperature dropped slightly.
Chen Lingling made an appointment with Lin You to go buy battle uniforms together after get off work.
In her words, this time, she must be fully prepared and hit the target with one strike!
Lin You couldn't persuade her and could only accompany her in her madness.
The two took the subway to the shopping mall in the city center and went straight to the women's clothing area.
Chen Lingling visited several stores and tried on many clothes before she finally settled on a black one-shoulder dress.
She struck a few poses in front of the mirror, then turned back and asked, "Sister, how is it? Is it sexy enough?"
Lin You chuckled and gave a thumbs-up, replying, "That's enough!"
In fact, Chen Lingling looks very good, but she is not the type that makes people stunning at first sight, but the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at her.
Chen Lingling has also had several relationships, but they all ended in failure due to various reasons.
Lin You is not clear about the specific reason.
But she knew that although Chen Lingling looked heartless and always licked the faces of handsome guys on the screen, she actually had lustful thoughts but no courage and had never done anything out of line.
Lin You's thoughts were briefly confused, and when she came back to her senses, Chen Lingling had already bought the dress.
Coming out with shopping bags, Chen Ling shook his head and sighed.
"Why are clothes so expensive these days? This skirt costs me half a month's salary. I'm going to have to live on dirt this month..."
Lin You let her hold his arm, smiling and comforting, "It's okay, I'm still here. At worst, I can support you."
Chen Lingling's eyes lit up and she put her arms around her waist and rubbed it.
"You're my real sister! What a pity, we have a gender conflict. If you were a man, I would have slept with you!"
Lin You: “…”
Chen Lingling raised her hand and pointed at the shop in the distance, "Look at that skirt, the blue one, it's so beautiful. Come on, go over and try it on."
Lin You was pushed by her and said, "I don't need to buy it."
She wasn't going to waste money on clothes for a party that meant nothing.
It would be better to buy two more meals for Hu Baoer.
Chen Lingling pulled her in without further ado, "You can try it on even if you don't want to buy it. What if you like it after you put it on?"
However, when the skirt was actually worn by Lin You.
Lin You didn't like it very much, but Chen Lingling was amazed and praised it highly.
Chen Lingling took out her phone and snapped photos. "Sister, I knew blue suits you! With such fair skin, it would be a waste not to wear such a picky color."
Lin You chuckled, "I think you're flattering me."
Chen Lingling swore to the heavens, "I'm serious. If you go out like this, which man would dare not like you?"
Lin You didn't take it seriously. He turned around and went into the locker room to change his clothes.
Chen Lingling grabbed her arm, looking reluctant.
Lin You patted her hands, then calmly showed her the tag.
Chen Lingling took a look and finally let go.
"Forget it, it's not impossible to change it."
A skirt worth three months' salary, it's not meant to be.
