Chapter 10

Li Ling is very familiar with this store, because it is on the way home from the company, so sometimes he gets off work early, and he will drop by to buy some ice cream and desserts.

As soon as he and Kang Wan pushed open the glass door, they attracted the attention of many guests. The boss is also a petite and lively girl. When she saw Li Ling, she immediately smiled and said, "It's been a long time since you came."

Li Ling smiled, and said to Kang Wan beside the counter: "The ice cream and desserts here are delicious, take a look."

When the boss saw Kang Wan, his eyes lit up.Kang Wan didn't have much enthusiasm for sweets, but Li Ling specially invited him to eat, so he took the dessert list and carefully chose two.

Li Ling also ordered two dishes he used to eat, and took them away.After he returned to Linchuan to open a store in his last life, he passed by Zhushi, wanting to taste the taste of the past, but found that it had been converted into a shopping complex.

The clerk was very quick. In about 10 minutes, the dessert and a small portion of Haagen-Dazs were packaged and delivered. Li Ling took out his wallet, and the boss said, "I'll give you half the price."

Li Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you active?"

The boss said: "One is to take care of you as an old customer, and the other is that you brought a handsome guy to my store, which made me and my shop assistant feel better, so thank you."

"Oh." Li Ling said with a smile, "I thought it was enough for you to just look at me."

The boss chuckled and said, "You're handsome too, but women always like the new and dislike the old when it comes to handsome guys."

Li Ling and Kang Wan returned to the car with their respective desserts. Li Ling handed Kang Wan a copy of Haagen-Dazs: "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Kang Wan looked at the ice cream ball that was steaming cold, took it over and said, "Don't be afraid."

Li Ling turned around and started the car and said, "Look, the benefits of women's sensibility. Half price is a bargain."

Kang Wan took a mouthful of Haagen-Dazs and put it in her mouth, the cold sweetness went straight from the tip of her tongue to the bottom of her heart.He looked at the profile of the man outlined by the neon lights on the road, and gave a soft "hmm".

The reception that Fang Huai mentioned was on Saturday night, and Li Ling changed into a slightly flattering suit and went with the boss.

It was only after arriving that I realized that the reception was more powerful than expected. There were many industry giants and elites everywhere. In comparison, Li Ling was like a grain of sand in the sea.It was Fang Huai who brought him by his side and introduced him to many people.

No matter what the starting point of this move is, this is a favor that goes along with the flow, and Li Ling can't help but accept it.

Just as they were drinking wine, a man and a woman walked towards them. Fang Huai greeted them. Li Ling thought he was talking to the man on the left, but Fang Huai greeted the lady in the blue dress directly: "Meng Xuan, it's been a long time! Gone."

The female guests at this reception were all well-dressed and well-dressed, but compared with the one in front of them, most of them still lacked the poised arrogance.

This kind of arrogance is not superficial, it is born out of pampering with a golden spoon in its mouth.

The woman named Meng Xuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"How long have you been in Zhushi?"

"Half a month."

"how do you feel?"

"It's quite fresh when I first came here, although it's not as comfortable as Linchuan. But I can understand that you don't want to stay in Linchuan's company, and you're going to come here."

Fang Huai introduced to him: "This is the person in charge of Linchuan Junliang Enterprise in Zhushi area, Meng Xuan. This is my current right-hand man, Li Ling."

Junliang, that famous Meng family?

Li Ling knew that the Meng family was much quieter than the Jiang family's sons and grandsons. The current boss of Junliang was always the legitimate heir of their family, and he was also a young hero. His father had sold the company early on. to him.There is an uncle who is the youngest in his family and is a famous actor. Li Ling has seen his movies and was very impressed.

Sure enough, Fang Huai asked: "It was reported in the news a while ago that your fourth son won a great award. Congratulations."

Meng Xuan curled his lips and said, "He's just lazy, he doesn't want to help the family with business, and if he goes to act in a play, Junjun is afraid that he will be tired."

Junliang's current boss is named Meng Jun.She turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Meng family, no wonder her nephew was even older, but she looked more carefree than the 20-year-old girl here.

Meng Xuan and Fang Huai exchanged a few words, and then went to socialize separately.After a while, Fang Huai and Li Ling found a sofa to sit and rest, talking about business matters, when suddenly people gathered there, as if something happened.

Dressed in a blue skirt in the crowd, it was Meng Xuan who had spoken to them just now, Fang Huai said: "Let's go, go and have a look."

Li Ling followed Fang Huai to the side of the group of people, and saw Meng Xuan standing there with a worried expression on his face, a sobbing waitress, and a slim woman in a cheongsam.

The person in charge of the reception also rushed over, and the woman in the cheongsam immediately accused: "What kind of waiter did you hire, with dirty hands and feet, daring to steal jewelry from guests!"

The person in charge hurriedly bowed, and asked the other waiters beside him, "What's going on?"

The waiter said: "Just now the guest's bracelet disappeared. We searched everywhere and found it on the plate she was carrying."

The bracelet had been returned to Meng Xuan, but she held it in her hand and hadn't put it on yet.Li Ling glanced at it and felt familiar.

It was woven with gold threads in the shape of twining lotuses. The pearls inlaid in the lotus stamens were not big, but they were almost exactly the same. Li Ling had been making jewelry for several years in his previous life, so he was quite knowledgeable. He knew that the most valuable thing about this bracelet was not the gold, but the twisted silk. The craftsmanship is now rare.

When Meng Xuan was standing face to face with them, Li Ling hadn't paid much attention, but now he took a second look, and couldn't help but sigh that it was a coincidence that he saw something pawned by his family.

This bracelet was originally a pair. Grandma’s natal ancestors were jewelry craftsmen. They have passed down from generation to generation. Although they are still in the jewelry business, many of the unique craftsmanship at that time have been lost. When this pair of bracelets was passed on to grandma, it was already I couldn't find the second pair of treasures. My grandma brought one as a dowry when she got married, and kept the other in her mother's shop.

The bracelets are divided into left and right, and what Meng Xuan is holding now is the left hand in grandma's hand.

Later, the family was really struggling, so my grandmother sold the bracelet at a low price. Li Ling knew that she was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

The woman in the cheongsam was still mocking: "It's really shallow eyelids, I can't even see anything good, and I have a pretty face for nothing."

The waitress was indeed very handsome, but she was so frightened that she shed tears and kept explaining: "I really didn't steal, I didn't..."

Meng Xuan's bracelet fell out in the ladies' lounge, and the waiters were looking for it for her. Later, the woman in the cheongsam said that she saw something flashing on the plate served by the waitress, and everyone froze. I found it after checking.

There are no cameras in the lounge.The person in charge listened to other people's narration, bowed to Meng Xuan and said, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Meng. I'll send someone to adjust the camera records in the hall immediately."

Meng Xuan was casually playing with his nails, but he said, "Wait a minute, I still have something to ask you and her."

"Ms. Meng, please tell me."

"I'm not a little girl who has never seen the world. I remember this kind of high-end reception. Guests come in with invitations, and your staff are strictly controlled when they come in and out. Even if this little girl stole my bracelet, it's okay to take it out." Difficult, right?"

"Yes."

Meng Xuan looked at another person again, but it was not the waitress, but the woman in the cheongsam, and said, "This...Miss Yang? I remember Mr. Zhu's wife is named Feng. I don't know what you are people."

Low laughter came from the crowd of onlookers. Everyone knew what Meng Xuan meant. This woman was brought over by the boss of a well-known company, but this Mr. Zhu is now divorcing his original partner because of She gave birth to an illegitimate child and planned to straighten her lover outside.

This "Miss Yang" probably managed to win the opportunity for the original wife to attend, but the divorce has not yet been settled, and the name is not right, so it is inevitable to be laughed at.

Meng Xuan said: "Originally, I don't want to talk about Mr. Zhu's housework, but the reception is so big. I just happened to see you call this girl aside alone. I don't know what you are doing. Someone told me that Mr. Zhu was socializing just now. When I was there, because the waitress looked pretty, I took care of her. I think it would be uncomfortable for me, don't you think?"

Miss Yang's complexion changed, and Meng Xuan continued: "Before I left the ladies' lounge, Miss Yang just came in to touch up my makeup, right?"

When Meng Xuan said this, it was no different from directly exposing it.

Ms. Yang's face was livid, she turned around and walked away quickly under the eyes of the onlookers.As soon as she left, the female guests couldn't restrain their laughter even more.

Meng Xuan took the bracelet back to his left hand, and said to the person in charge, "You don't need to adjust the camera anymore, let your employees learn a lesson."

The person in charge bent down again and said, "Thank you, Ms. Meng."

The crowd dispersed, Meng Xuan saw Fang Huai, glanced at him and said, "Isn't it interesting to watch the excitement?"

Fang Huai said with a smile: "Ms. Meng is very observant and admires."

"Don't be bitter with me." Meng Xuan snorted, "It doesn't matter who she is, using me as a pistol, isn't it just a matter of making fun of it?"

Li Ling couldn't help laughing either.Meng Xuan looked at him and said, "I know you all think I'm the one who grew up at home, and you all think I'm an embroidered pillow, don't you?"

Li Ling hurriedly said: "No, I just think that Ms. Meng's bracelet is very beautiful. It would be a pity if it was stolen."

Meng Xuan calmed down, turned his wrist to look at the bracelet and said, "You are telling the truth, this bracelet was bought at an auction a few years ago, I fell in love with it immediately, but it looks like a Yes, it’s a pity that there is only one left. I asked the auctioneer, and they said it was collected from a pawn shop, and the pawn’s information has been cleared. If I can find a seller and buy another one, I will feel at ease. "

She thought of something, and said to Fang Huai: "By the way, isn't your family also in the antique business? Take the time to find out for me."

Fang Huai spread his hands and said, "My second uncle took care of that, I don't know anything about it."

"Then look for your second uncle..."
