Chapter 24 The money I just spent doubled again
Shen Linglan prepared enough supplies for Zhao Yunduo, and would buy something on weekends if she remembered anything. Zhao Yunduo said that they went to the drugstore to sleep for a night, but most of the medicines in the drugstore were taken out. Shen Linglan then had an idea in her mind.
She went to many stores and bought many kinds of medicine for Zhao Yunduo.
There are medicines for colds and fevers, as well as disinfectants, bandages, and some daily necessities. Medicines with the same function are placed in one basket so that you can see them at a glance when you need them.
Shen Linglan left the pharmacy with satisfaction, and on the way home, she unexpectedly met the boss of the company.
He was coming out of the garage, and Shen Linglan and Chen Mengxue were also walking out of the garage one after another.
I don't know who the boss was talking to on the phone, his brows were wrinkled into a shape of a "川" (川) character. The boss was an old man in his sixties with a shaved head. Normally, when he met customers, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha, but now when he didn't smile, he looked like a villain.
Shen Linglan shook her head. After a few months of internship, she still hated the company and her boss. Just when she was about to bypass her boss, the boss who had hung up the phone suddenly turned around and saw Shen Linglan.
"Hey - isn't this the one - it looks so familiar, is it from our company?"
Shen Linglan stood still and smiled at him, "Mr. Chen, I am an intern in the company, Shen Linglan."
Boss Chen saw Shen Linglan, then looked at Chen Mengxue beside her, and suddenly asked: "Is this your sister? Does your sister live here?"
Ever since Chen Mengxue followed Shen Linglan, she felt that Shen Linglan was of extraordinary worth, so as an assistant, she naturally had to dress more upscale. So whenever she was at work, she would wear expensive work clothes, sometimes a hip skirt, sometimes trousers, and today she was wearing a hip skirt.
Boss Chen's eyes fell on Chen Mengxue's legs, and his eyes seemed to ask, is it Chen Mengxue's sponsor who lives here? Or is it Chen Mengxue who can live in this community by selling meat?
“No, I live here.”
Shen Linglan motioned Chen Mengxue to stand behind her and cover her eyes with her long legs. Only then did Boss Chen retract his gaze and look at Shen Linglan's face.
"Oh..." Boss Chen thought it was the house rented by Shen Linglan, so he lost interest and didn't ask any more questions.
But this incident also made Shen Linglan completely give up on keeping a low profile. She threw away all the clothes that she had bought for around a hundred yuan. She felt that the clothes she bought before were expensive and she would feel bad if they got bumped and bruised. Now think about it, she still has hundreds of millions of yuan on her, so she can just replace them when they get worn out. As for keeping a low profile, hundreds of millions of yuan is not a big deal.
Shen Linglan changed into an Hermes bag, LC clothes, and Ji Fandong's skirt. In addition, Shen Linglan also took Chen Mengxue to the 4S store to buy a new car, a red Porsche.
It doesn’t matter whether she can drive or not. Shen Linglan has a driver’s license, but she doesn’t like driving normally.
She bought another parking space and parked her brand new Porsche without any regrets in the busy parking lot.
Chen Mengxue looked at the shiny car roof and asked hesitantly, "Should we buy a car cover? Otherwise, it might get dusty if left there for too long."
Shen Linglan waved her hands nonchalantly, "It's okay, just wash it when there's dust."
Chen Mengxue has realized how wealthy the young lady is these days. Previously, she thought that the house Shen Linglan bought was too extravagant, but after spending these days with her, she found that the young lady's house was not worthy of her.
Just the clothes, bags, shoes and this car in the room are more expensive than the house.
Today, Shen Linglan even bought a few sets of clothes for Chen Mengxue, the total price of which was more expensive than her three-month salary. Chen Mengxue wanted to sell her clothes, after all, the family still had a big gap in the cost of her child's surgery. She could only spend 700 or 800 yuan to buy a set of work clothes, which was already her limit. She couldn't bear to wear clothes worth thousands of yuan, and she wanted to exchange them for her child's surgery fee.
After much hesitation, Chen Mengxue finally spoke to Shen Linglan.
"Ms. Linglan..." Chen Mengxue held the shopping bag, bit her lip, and said with a little embarrassment: "Can I return these clothes?"
"Refund? Why?" Shen Linglan asked.
"Because... I need to save money for my daughter's surgery. These clothes cost tens of thousands of dollars, and I can change them..."
"How much does it cost?" Shen Linglan interrupted her.
"We still need more than 400,000 yuan."
After Chen Mengxue resigned from her previous company, she received a base salary plus commission, a total of nearly 10,000 yuan, in addition to the advance salary paid to her by Shen Linglan, which now requires about 480,000 yuan.
After she opened her mouth, she was afraid that Shen Linglan would think she was lying and was trying to trick Shen Linglan into giving her a raise, so she opened her mouth to explain, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Linglan say, "I'll lend you 500,000 yuan. Then I'll raise your monthly salary to 15,000 yuan. When you cure your daughter's illness, you can consider paying me back."
"……ah?"
These words made Chen Mengxue open her mouth wide.
Is the young lady so... rich and generous? She made the family worried for half a year. They sold the house in their hometown and the only car in the family. They finally saved up 200,000 yuan, but they couldn't even raise half of the surgery fee.
And now, after Shen Linglan spoke, she easily transferred 500,000 yuan to Chen Mengxue.
Just like that, the huge rock that was weighing down Chen Mengxue's family was easily pushed aside by Shen Linglan.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Chen Mengxue, who always adheres to the principle of "smile to the boss and be serious to others" at work, had tears in her eyes for the first time in front of Shen Linglan.
She even felt that the word "thank you" was not enough to express her gratitude.
Chen Mengxue knelt down and wanted to kowtow to Shen Linglan, but was pulled up by Shen Linglan, "No, no, Sister Chen, if you keep kneeling and kowtow, I think you will shorten your life."
"Ms. Linglan, you are our family's adopted parent. I, Chen Mengxue, swear that I will serve you like a slave in this life, and I will do the same for the next life and the next."
Shen Linglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Five hundred thousand was indeed a small amount that was not worth mentioning to her. If she wasn't afraid of "fighting for favors and then retaliating", Shen Linglan wanted to say that she didn't have to pay back the five hundred thousand. However, if she gave the money for free, she was afraid that it would cause trouble, so it was better to write a verbal IOU.
With the 500,000 yuan, Chen Mengxue immediately transferred the money to the hospital, and the child's surgery could be arranged immediately.
After paying out the 500,000 yuan, Shen Linglan unexpectedly received a message from the system again.
"Please note that your balance has reached the minimum amount and the doubling system will be turned on again for you."
Since the last time the balance reached 10 billion, it has basically been spent without any increase. Shen Linglan doesn't care. After all, 10 billion is enough for her and Zhao Yunduo to live on for ten lifetimes. But she didn't expect that it can actually increase again now.
Just as she was immersed in the joy of having so much money in her life, the system gave another reminder.
"Ding, congratulations to the host's best friend for eating and drinking to her heart's content. As a reward, the host's bank card balance will be doubled!"
Shen Linglan opened her cell phone and saw that the original balance was only about 8 billion yuan, but now it has become 10 billion again.
