Chapter 35
Gu Manyin spoke gently, but she was nakedly provoking Rong Shu.
Rong Shu merely raised her eyebrows and then smiled graciously, “Miss Gu asked for it first, fine, you buy it.”
Gu Manyin didn’t expect that Rong Shu wouldn’t even fight with her, she just gave up her hand and didn’t react for a moment.
“Mangyin, I think Rong Shu doesn’t dare to offend you.” The little sister leaned up and bragged about Gu Manyin, “After she divorced Mr. Fu, she has no backers and her company is on the verge of bankruptcy, so she doesn’t dare to grab things from you.”
Yes, nowadays, Rong Shu had nothing but a broken company.
Hearing her little sister say this, Gu Manyin was so relieved that she picked up the watch and handed it over with her card, “Swipe your card and wrap it up.”
The counter girl didn’t take the card, but asked carefully, “Guest, are you a v member of our family?”
“No.” Gu Manyin knitted her brows, a little displeased, “Is it possible that you can’t just swipe your card to buy this watch at your house?”
“All of our watches can be bought with a credit card, but not this collection.” The counter girl said with a difficult look on her face, “For this collection, only v-customers who have spent a total of 60 million and have been with us for more than two years can buy it.”
Gu Mangyin, “……”
“A watch seller, where does he get such a sense of superiority!” The little sister beside Gu Manyin said, “Call your manager out! What a joke, you can’t buy a watch for the money you spend!”
The counter girl said, “It’s true that there are restrictions on the sale of this series of watches, so even if our manager comes, it won’t change anything.”
“If we can’t buy it, can’t this woman do it?”
“Miss Rong does.” The counter girl said, “She became our family v customer the year before last and has accumulated enough spending.”
“……”
Hearing the teller say this, Gu Mangyin didn’t know how hard to make a soft and gentle expression not collapse.
Rongshu had had enough of watching the drama on the side, she took the watch from Gu Manyin’s hand and handed it to the counter girl, “Since Miss Gu can’t buy it, then I’ll take it.”
“Okay.”
In a short while, the shopkeeper returned with the list and the packed watch.
Rongshu thanked her and as she was leaving with the gift, she stopped by Gu Manyin’s side and said with regret, “Miss Gu, there are some things that you may not be able to buy even if I let you have them.”
When these words fell on Gu Manyin’s ears, it was like a slap on her face, a hot pain.
As she stared at Rong Shu’s back, she thought of the two words that Fu Jinglin had said at dinner last night, and Gu Manyin’s eyes sank a little.
Why did Rong Shu always have to come and rob her?
……
After watching a good show, Rong Shu was in an extremely good mood, and when she took the lift to the underground garage, she just happened to run into an acquaintance.
“Mr. Rong.”
“Chen Xingnuo?” Looking at the tall young woman in front of her, Rong Shu quickly recognised her.
Chen Xingnuo was an alumnus of Lu Qi and was originally going to join Lu Qi’s company, but Lu Qi knew that Rongshu had no one of her own in Tiansheng, so she asked Chen Xingnuo to come and give Rongshu a hand.
She was very busy these days, but she knew that Chen Xingnuo was working as a cashier in the finance department and was very meticulous in her work.
“There are quite a few people in the company, I didn’t expect that Mr. Rong still remembered me.” Chen Xingnuo smiled cheekily, holding a small cake in her hand, “There is a dessert shop here that is very delicious, I am transferring today and came over to buy dessert, what about you, Mr. Rong, you came to buy clothes?”
“Lu Qi has a birthday today, I’m buying him a present.” Rongshu shook the gift bag at her, “Do you have any plans for the evening?”
“No, I’m going to go home and lie on the couch and watch a few episodes of a TV show.”
“Then let’s go together, it’ll be crowded.” Rongshu said, “You and Lu Qi are alumni, we all know each other well.”
“Since Mr. Rong has said so, I’ll go with you!” Chen Xingnuo didn’t excuse herself and pressed the lift button, “Then let’s go to the first floor, I’ll buy a lighter for Lu Qi, I can’t go to his birthday empty-handed.”
Chen Xingnuo’s looks were pure desire, white and thin, especially beautiful, but also very lively, when talking, can not stop, chatterbox.
It was the first time that Rongshu found someone who was more chattering than Lu Qi, and she was helpless.
When she arrived at the Bright Moon Clubhouse with Chen Xingnuo, Lu Qi called, “My grandmother wants to celebrate my birthday and wants me to go back to my family for dinner. I’ll meet you at the Bright Moon Clubhouse around ten o’clock.”
“Okay, then we’ll wait for you in the private room after dinner.” Rongshu hung up the phone and took Chen Xingnuo to the restaurant for dinner.
After finding a seat in the restaurant, Chen Xingnuo looked around and asked Rong Shu, “Mr. Rong, I heard that you need a capital check to enter the club, is that true?”
“Well, I booked a seat and reported Lu Qi’s name.”
“Why didn’t you report Mr. Fu’s name?” Chen Xingnuo asked curiously, “Aren’t you and Mr. Fu husband and wife? It’s more convenient to use his card.”
Rong Shu’s face didn’t change much, she only asked lightly, “How do you know that Mr. Fu and I are husband and wife?”
“Everyone knows, it’s not like you’re in a secret marriage.” Chen Xingnuo shrugged, “But I’m curious, you’re his wife, Tian Sheng is in such a bad state, why didn’t Mr. Fu say something to help.”
Fu Jingting, not to mention helping her, hadn’t even given her a second glance after all those years of marriage.
“He has a lot of things to deal with, he’s not available.” Rongshu looked down at the black tea in her hand, “I divorced Mr. Fu a few weeks ago and am no longer his wife.”
Chen Xingnuo let out an ah, a little confused.
She quickly saw that Rong Shu was in a bad mood, and picked up the black tea and clinked it with her, “Come on, congratulations on your divorce, you’re single again! It’s good to be single, it’s great to be single every year, and you don’t have so many worries!”
“If you still want to get married, you can consider Lu Qi, you two grew up together and he dotes on you, it’s a perfect match!”
She teased her so much that Rong Shu laughed, and her mood improved.
After they finished eating, Rongshu and Chen Xingnuo walked and chatted, planning to go to a private room to sing and wait for Lu Qi to come over.
The two of them had just left the restaurant when they met up with some women on a narrow path.
The two of them were about to sidle up and let the women go first, when they didn’t expect that among them were Gu Manyin and her little sister whom she had met in the watch shop in the afternoon.
Rongshu, “……”
Gu Manyin also didn’t expect to run into Rong Shu twice in one day, and her face almost fell apart.
“Miss Rong.” Gu Manyin spoke to Rong Shu this time, the words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, very forced, “I heard that Tian Sheng’s financial situation is not good, to come to this clubhouse is required to verify the capital.”
Rong Shu smiled lightly, “Well I know, I used my boyfriend’s card, what, Miss Gu has a problem with that?”
Gu Mangyin’s pink lips pursed for a moment, quickly thought of something and said in a soft voice, “I’m going to play cards with my friends and I’m short of someone, so it’s good to meet Miss Rong, we all know each other well, let’s sit up and play a few rounds.”
She also introduced the woman beside her, “This is the vice president of Tiansheng, Rong Shu.”
Gu Manyin spoke very politely to the woman beside her, and even lowered her attitude a bit, seemingly a bit ingratiating, which made Rong Shu also look at her twice, noticing that the woman was wearing a black halter dress, beautiful and flamboyant, with an even stronger aura, and she had overpowered several women around her.
“Who is this Miss Gu, who is so hostile to you?” Chen Xingnuo came close to Rong Shu and asked quietly.
“The white moonlight in my ex-husband’s heart.”
Chapter 36
“She’s quite powerful, even Gao Meiling can climb on board.” Chen Xingnuo glanced at the woman beside Gu Mangyin and whispered, “Gao Meiling is the granddaughter of Gao Lao, the last retired head of Nanjiang, so if you can hang out with her, you won’t even worry about your connections.”
Rongshu rarely went out before, and knew few people in the business world, let alone elsewhere.
It was no wonder Gu Manyin’s attitude was put so low.
In front of someone like Gao Meiling, Gu Manyin’s little family history was not enough to look at.
“Oh, you’re Mr. Fu’s ex-wife, huh?” Gao Meiling glanced at Rong Shu, with a little contempt under her eyes, not taking Rong Shu seriously at all, “Since we have the chance to meet, let’s play a few games, does Miss Rong give this face?”
Not to mention playing mahjong, Rong Shu didn’t even want to say a few words to Gu Manyin.
But she had put up with Wang Shuqin for so many years when she was in the Fu family, she had learned to read people’s minds long ago, and as soon as Gao Meiling opened her mouth, she knew that this person was not to be messed with.
“Of course you can, the person we’re waiting for doesn’t arrive until ten o’clock.” Rongshu had nothing at the moment and didn’t want Gao Meiling to get upset and cross the line to suppress herself, “But I’m not good at cards, you guys just don’t mind.”
Gao Meiling chortled and stepped on her ta*seled heels to leave first.
“That’s okay. Playing cards is just a way to spend time.” After Gao Meiling left, Gu Mangyin dared to speak up, “If you can’t, I can also give you a break.”
She knew from her friends that Rong Shu had played mahjong with a few of Boss Liang from Zongshi last time and lost more than a hundred thousand.
According to the waiter who delivered the tea, Rong Shu looked like a novice, playing mahjong was simply disastrous.
The sulking she had held in the watch shop this afternoon, she must get it back from Rongshu tonight!
Rong Shu smiled, “Then thank you, Miss Gu.”
Chen Xingnuo followed Rong Shu to the private room and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Rong, you really suck at poker, don’t you? Why don’t you stop playing, I see that she is very hostile towards you, what if she sets you up in the middle of a game?”
“She was setting me up when she just ran into me.” Rongshu said, “Gao Meiling is obviously protecting her, so if she sets another trap later, I’ll have to drill it too.”
Chen Xingnuo gave her a look, “Hey! You’re too miserable too.”
After entering the private room, a few people walked to the mahjong table inside, touched the mahjong to determine the seat, and then quickly sat down to start playing.
Chen Xingnuo didn’t know how to play mahjong, but she could search and searched the internet on how to play mahjong, so she could at least see the way, and then once she saw Rong Shu playing mahjong, it was so miserable that Chen Xingnuo wanted to play for her.
The smile on the corners of Gu Mangyin’s mouth shone brightly as she watched Rong Shu get hooded by herself or Gao Meiling on two consecutive hands.
“Miss Rong, do you have a tattoo of ‘fjt’ on your waist?” Gu Mangyin suddenly asked Rong Shu, “It’s an abbreviation of Jing Ting’s name, right?”
Rong Shu threw a card out and didn’t reply.
Gu Manyin played her tile, but her eyes were fixed on her face, “You and Jingting have already divorced, and I don’t feel comfortable with having his name tattooed on your body. How about this, let’s use mahjong as a betting game, if you lose, I’ll call the tattoo artist to come over and wash that tattoo off for you on the spot.”
Chen Xingnuo couldn’t help but speak up “Miss Gu, you’re going too far, it’s Rong’s freedom to tattoo what she wants on her body, she’s not good at poker, you’re using this as a betting game, you’re obviously bullying people.”
“Miss Rong didn’t even open her mouth, what do you need to say?” Gao Meiling skimmed her red lips, very unhappy, “Noisy as hell!”
Chen Xingnuo turned red with anger and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Rong Shu.
“I accept.” Rong Shu smiled lightly, her eyes gentle and calm, “But Miss Gu, what should you do if you lose?”
Gu Manyin looked at the card played by Rong Shu and said loudly, “If I lose, I will leave Jingting, leave Hai City and never come back. If you think I’m giving you a hard time, I’ll have someone teach you how to play mahjong, and when you learn, we’ll bet again.”
“No need, I think I’m quite good at mahjong.” Rongshu said, “Does Miss Rong really want to gamble with me, not jokingly?”
Gu Manyin said firmly, “No joke, everyone else present can testify to that.”
“Good, then it will be two out of three.” Rongshu said, throwing a card out, but it happened to be the one Gu Manyin wanted to play.
When she pushed the card away, the smile on Gu Manyin’s face even showed a bit of smugness.
She was sure to win this bet!
After the first hand of the game started, Chen Xingnuo knew that she was sure to lose as soon as she saw Rong Shu’s card, and she didn’t even look at it.
Chen Xingnuo sighed, “I really don’t want to see your miserable face when you lose, I’m going out for some air.”
After leaving the private room, Chen Xingnuo went to the common bathroom, and had just entered the compartment, fished out a cigarette from her bag and lit it when her phone rang.
“What are you doing?”
“At the clubhouse, watching the boss play mahjong with someone.” Chen Xingnuo took a drag on his cigarette and said lazily, “What, are you coming over?”
“I asked you to go to the sea city to look for someone, do you really think you’re a beat worker?”
“Rushing, rushing the hell out!” Chen Xingnuo was annoyed and said in a bad mood, “He deserved it himself, abandoning his wife and son, oh, and now that he’s dying, he remembers that he still has a son and wants to make it up to him, and wants us to come and search?”
“Go to the hospital and persuade the old man to hurry up and die! Donate all his property to the foundation, and save those sons from fighting to the death over this amount of money, I almost had my leg broken last time!”
“Chen Xingnuo, how dare you speak!” The person on the other end of the phone shouted angrily, “You are the bodyguard of the Ye family, the Ye family wants you to live when they want you to live and die when they want you to die, and you dare to curse your employer to die early?”
Chen Xingnuo took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled smoke reluctantly, “It’s my fault, I don’t dare anymore.”
“Fourth young man’s men have already left for the sea city, so pay attention.”
“I know.” Chen Xingnuo said, “Send me the information of the Nanjiang Gao family, I was bullied by the Gao’s people.”
“Wasting time with such small goods, you might as well look for the young master more often.” The man said unhappily, “I’ll have someone send you the email later. I received the information and found that the young master has spent time in Jiangxian before, you should go to Jiangxian when you have time.”
“Yes, Chen Sir.”
The few minutes of phone call made Chen Xingnuo’s mood even worse, she threw the cigarette butt down the toilet and flushed it away and exited the washroom.
On her way back to the private room, Chen Xingnuo saw a man in the club’s black uniform, with a straight and slender body, holding a tray in his hand, talking to a colleague in front of him.
After seeing the man’s face, Chen Xingnuo’s pupils snapped shut.
She hurriedly turned around, fished out the mint candies from her bag and ate two of them to disperse the smell of smoke in her mouth, then walked over quickly.
“A car repairman?” Chen Xingnuo tapped the man’s shoulder.
Cheng Huai turned his head and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, his eyes narrowed and he quickly remembered, “The little beauty from the 4s shop who repairs engines?”
“Yeah.” Chen Xingnuo smiled, swept down his outfit, a little surprised, “Aren’t you a car repairer, why did you come to the clubhouse as a waiter again, is your family so poor?”
Cheng Huai, “……”
Where did he have the words “my family is poor” written all over his body?
He lost a game bet and had to work as a waiter to deliver drinks to his friends.
Seeing that Chen Xingnuo misunderstood, Cheng Huai didn’t bother to explain, and deliberately teased her twice, “Yes, my family is very poor, I have to work three jobs a day, I just finished tutoring and came to the club, I just started working.”
“How much money can you make as a tutor, it’s tiring.” Chen Xingnuo said, took out a pen and paper and wrote a string of numbers for him, “This is my number, take it down, I’ll introduce you to our company to drive for the boss, the treatment is very good.”
“Oh?” Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows, “From what you said, your company is very large and your boss is very rich?”
“It’s alright, you know about Tian Sheng, right?”
“I know.” Cheng Huai felt something was wrong, “Your boss is?”
“Rong Shu.”
Cheng Huai looked at her and his expression became subtle, “I know General Manager Rong, the vice president that Tian Sheng has just appointed.”
“Yes, she’s quite nice, if you work for her as a driver, she will definitely not treat you badly.” Chen Xingnuo didn’t see that his expression was wrong, as he was leaving he added, “I know in your business, the drinks draw is very high, you send a few more bottles of expensive wine to room 1288, I’ll pay for it later.”
“……”
Chen Xingnuo left on the first foot, and a waiter came over on the second, “Boss, Tian Sheng’s General Manager Rong is playing mahjong at 1288, do you want to go over and take a look?”
Cheng Huai thought for a moment and asked him, “Isn’t there another woman who is very pretty and has a mole on her eyebrow?”
When he went to the restaurant earlier, he bumped into Gu Manyin talking to Rong Shu.
“Huh, boss you’ve been to that private room?”
“How interesting.” Cheng Huai wiped his thumb on his lips and said with interest, “I wonder what Mr. Fu’s face will be when he knows his ex-wife is playing mahjong with his current girlfriend.”
