Chu Hongyu was furious with her, so Yan Yangyang quickly pulled her out.
Ning Yuan suddenly walked up to Ding Lan, who was taking stock of how many good things she had gotten.
She asked coldly, "Last time you provoked Sister Hongyu and got some face cream, that wasn't enough. Are you planning to keep using the same trick to get more things?"
Ding Lan examined the imported nail polish in her hand, smiling innocently: "I was just telling the truth, and besides, she didn't want these things."
Even though they're all secondhand, they can still make a small fortune if you sell them!
Ning Yuan suddenly squatted down in front of her: "Ding Lan, do you want to earn more living expenses? Do me a favor."
Ding Lan was taken aback, then immediately said in a soft voice, "What are you talking about making money? We're roommates, of course we should help each other!"
Ning Yuan also rested her chin on her hand, giving an innocent smile—
"Didn't you see Sister Hongyu's fiancé and the nanny going into the woods?"
"If you can find solid evidence that they're having an affair, the real kind, so that Sister Hongyu can see and hear it, how about I give you a hundred yuan?"
Ding Lan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "Talking about money is so vulgar. Why don't we just be family, Ou Minglang or your cousin?"
With one of those two men by my side, how could I not get a hundred bucks?
Ning Yuan stood up abruptly and said coolly, "Pretend I never said anything about this."
Seeing Ning Yuan about to leave, Ding Lan immediately stood up and said, "Little Ning, you have such a bad temper! You scared her!"
She mimicked Chu Hongyu's sweet and soft voice, saying, "Okay, but I need two hundred yuan. You know I need tuition and living expenses for next semester."
Ning Yuan's family sells sparkling water, runs a coffee shop, and a clothing store. With such successful businesses, they must be very wealthy!
Ning Yuan gave her a look that said, "You're dreaming," and turned to leave without saying a word.
Ding Lan panicked and immediately rushed to the door to block her way: "Fine, one hundred yuan it is!"
A poor student's monthly living expenses are usually only ten yuan!
Ning Yuan took out ten yuan from her pocket and put it in her hand: "This is a deposit. I'll give you a month. If you leak this or fail to complete the task, you'll lose the ninety yuan."
Ding Lan nodded immediately, her eyes shining as she stared at the ten yuan: "Don't worry, I have a strong sense of professional ethics when I work, and I will do whatever it takes to complete the task!"
Ning Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly when she heard her say "any means necessary": "Don't do anything illegal like murder or arson!"
Ding Lan nodded with a smile: "Of course!"
But she grabbed Ning Yuan's sleeve, looking like she wasn't going to let her go.
Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Ding Lan pointed to the ground and said in a pitiful and coquettish tone, "I'm out of rice and pickled vegetables. Xiao Ning, could you get me a meal?"
Ning Yuan rolled her eyes: "Fine, the meal cost will be deducted from the payment!"
This guy's greatest strength is his shamelessness and his opportunistic nature!
Ding Lan immediately let go, angrily putting the ten yuan into her inner pocket: "Hmph, I've never seen such a stingy employer."
Ning Yuan ignored her and went out.
Chu Hongyu is her best friend and a promising business partner. It's inconvenient for her to get involved in this matter, but Ding Lan is perfect for playing the "bad guy."
This woman has a very strange ability—she can always find opportunities to take advantage of others and is very good at "playing by her own judgment"!
As for whether she was worried about Ding Lan betraying her in the end, Ning Yuan was actually quite open-minded about it.
If Chu Hongyu truly hates her for exposing the false happiness, just like that junior high classmate from her past life did.
She lived up to her conscience and did not betray Chu Hongyu's kindness.
...
Ning Yuan had made arrangements and plans, but her own shop also had quite a few... well... troublesome things.
"Bang!!"
A stone hit the glass and then fell to the ground.
The glass was intact, but there were many broken bricks on the ground.
It also startled the customers at the coffee shop, as well as those who were picking out items and registering for pre-orders at Ning Yuan's shop.
Six or seven shady-looking young men weren't surprised that Ning Yuan's shop hadn't been vandalized; they just chuckled and whispered among themselves.
"This glass is amazing!"
"How many times do you think it would break?"
"Who the hell knows, if we keep smashing it every day, it'll break eventually, won't it?"
The customers in the coffee shop were fine; they were all worldly-wise foreigners who weren't surprised at all. Such things happen quite often in their countries.
But the customers in the clothing store were all taken aback.
Apart from a few wholesale customers, the rest of the individual customers were startled and left in a hurry.
Hua Zi and Man Hua grabbed their weapons and tried to rush out.
Ning Yuan grabbed their arms and coldly looked at the thugs outside the door: "Don't rush."
Hua Zi was furious: "These bastards came to break into our house in the middle of the night, but when they found out we had a top-and-bottom lock and couldn't open it, they started coming to smash rocks and disturb us in broad daylight!"
"We rushed out, they ran away, we came back, and they kept smashing things!" Manhua was furious.
These scoundrels even know guerrilla tactics!
Hua Zi said angrily, "These guys are Jin Pangzi's men. Luckily, it's not the opening day, or someone would have been smashed!"
Ning Yuan narrowed her eyes: "Their goal isn't to smash people, at least not right now."
If someone gets hurt, it will immediately alert the police station.
But given the current situation, even if she calls the police, there's not much they can do.
Because the thugs didn't even break the glass; they just scared the customers away.
This is the most common form of bullying, extortion, and coercion by organized crime, and it is the least serious of these practices.
"Do you want me to help you catch those guys and beat them to a pulp?" A slightly androgynous, cheerful voice suddenly rang out.
Ning Yuan looked at the newcomer and sneered, "It's no use, Aheng. They're not afraid of you hitting people, they're afraid of you not lifting a finger. They might even try to extort money from us."
A tall figure wearing jeans and a jacket walked in, with short, shaved hair, long, sharp eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose and thin lips.
At first glance, she seemed to resemble Rong Zhaonan in some ways, but he had single eyelids and softer features.
