Chubby face

  On Sunday afternoon at five o'clock, when the Longyuan business hall was about to close, Xia Xin led Ling Lele to the bank. Lin Qiang happened to be strolling in the lobby and accidentally locked eyes with Ling Lele.

  Ling Lele was wearing a sporty tennis outfit at the moment, as if she had just finished exercising, with some flush on her face. It has to be said that without makeup, Ling Lele looked completely innocent and pure, if not for prior knowledge, Lin Qiang would also have been unable to connect this girl with that seductive bar girl.

  But Ling Lele didn't expect this, and suddenly seeing Lin Qiang made her heart beat faster and become frightened.

  What is he? Why is he here?

  Ling Lele clutched her sports skirt tightly, her lips drooping down. After the initial shock, she began to frantically make eye contact with Lin Qiang, begging him not to reveal her secret. As for Lin Qiang, he pretended not to see anything and calmly walked forward to greet her. However, just as he was about to say hello, a fat man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way.

  Zhang Jiaming rubbed his hands together, gazing at Xia Xian with a smile all over his face: "Ah! Director Xia, what wind blew you to our humble abode? Please come in, please come in!"

  Xia Xian furrowed her brow: "Who are you?"

  "Oh, I know you, but you don't know me, haha." Zhang Jiaming handed over his business card with a flattering smile, "Zhang Jiaming is at your service, please come in, please come in!"

  Xia Xian reluctantly took over the business card and declined: "No need to bother, I'll find..."

  "This must be Miss Ling. Zhang Jiaming turned around to size up Ling Lele, smiling even more brightly, "You're really beautiful, what business do you have here this time?"

  "Helping my daughter with finance." Xia Xian frowned at Zhang Jiaming, "I've already made arrangements with Lin Qiang, thank you for your kind intentions."

  "Lin Qiang?" Zhang Jiaming was stunned, he never thought Lin Qiang would get involved with this person.

  At this time, Lin Qiang also pushed open Zhang Jiaming and came forward to greet him.

  "Come in, Xia Jie."

  "Ah, sorry we're a bit late, won't affect your work, right?" Xia Xin gently rubbed Ling Lele's head, "She just got out of tennis class, couldn't help it."

  "It's nothing." Lin Qiang led Xia Xian and her mother to the living room, calling Zheng Shuai and Lin Xiao Zhuo to prepare the financial contract.

  Zhang Jiaming stood there in a daze, his eyes wide with shock. Originally, he had been looking forward to making a good impression when the branch manager arrived, but instead he ended up being left out in the cold.

  Ling Lele didn't hear any conversation at all, her body slightly trembling, her face changing color several times, both shocked and frightened, constantly guessing Lin Qiang's identity in her heart, but no matter how she guessed, the result was the same for her - Lin Qiang was too bad.

  With a nervous heart, Ling Lele and her mother sat in the living room. Lin Xiaoju brought two cups of tea, and Zheng Shuai also handed over the contract and materials that had been prepared long ago.

  Xia Xinxin looked at Lin Xiao and Zheng Shuai with satisfaction, this was truly a golden boy and jade girl. She couldn't help but praise: "Little Lin, you have capable subordinates, handsome men and beautiful women, today's trip is really pleasing to the eye."

  Lin Qiang smiled in his heart, he also deliberately let Xia Xian meet Zheng Shuai and Lin Xiao Zhuo, giving the two a chance to show off.

  Xia Xing stared at Zheng Shuai thoughtfully: "I remember... you're Zheng Shuai, right? Originally from the Branch Comprehensive Management Department?"

  "Haha, Director Xia has a great memory." Zheng Shuai arranged the contract neatly, also feeling surprised and delighted.

  "Hmm... I've heard about your situation too." Xia Xing somewhat awkwardly encouraged, "Work hard, there's still a chance."

  Then she turned her head and looked at Lin Xiao-zao who was blushing: "This one hasn't been seen before, is he new?"

  "Yes... I'm still in my probationary period." Lin Xiao Zao nodded nervously.

  "She's really lovely." Xia Xian turned to Lin Qiang with a smile and said, "When the sports meet starts, she must be the flag bearer."

  "Ah? This..." Lin Xiao's face turned red.

  "When you have the chance, show your abilities. Don't be modest when it's not time to be modest." Xia Xian casually said a sentence and handed over the financial materials to her daughter, "Take a look, Dad, Mom, and Uncle Lin have discussed it and plan to buy 24,000 for you."

  Lin Qiang's face twitched... How could even Xia Xian let his daughter call him uncle...

  "Ah?...... Oh......" Ling Yueyue finally came out of her panic, not daring to look at the people around her, and instead looked down at the financial documents.

  The girl changed a lot after heavy makeup, even Zheng Shuai and Lin Xiao-zao saw the seductive Ling Lele that night, but now facing her bare face, they couldn't recognize her at all. Even if they felt some resemblance, they didn't dare to continue guessing, this is Xia Xing's daughter, how could she be there?

  Ling Lele stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly seemed to react to something, turned her head and stared at her mother in a daze, exclaiming: "24,000?!"

  "Ah, Uncle Lin recommended it, saying that your allowance is too little, forcing your dad to spend a lot of money." Xia Xian poked her daughter's nose, "24,000, which is 2,000 per month, is this enough for you to spend now?"

  Ling Lele was suddenly hit by a pie dropped from the sky, and for a moment she forgot about the awkwardness between her and Lin Qiang. She was overjoyed and hugged her mother tightly, kissing her: "Mom is still the best!"

  Xia Xian was kissed, and a happy smile also appeared on her face. She then reminded him, "These 24,000 yuan are not to be spent casually, Uncle Lin Qiang will tell you the specifics."

  "Oh......" Ling Yue's heart was filled with a mix of terror and excitement, but she finally gathered her courage to look at Lin Qiang and nodded shyly, "Thank you, Uncle Lin."

  "It's just a matter of time." Lin Qiang said with a hint of amusement.

  This guy is so bad... Ling Lele cursed Lin Qiang again in her heart.

  The purchase procedure was quickly completed, and Xia Xing and her mother also signed their names on the contract.

  Then everyone chatted for a while, and Xia Xing stood up to leave: "Nothing else, I'll go first, Xiao Lin you can tell Lele the details."

  Lin Qiang nodded and smiled after that, Lin Xiao Zao and Zheng Shuai sent Xia Xin away, leaving only Lin Qiang and Ling Lele in the room.

  "You... you..." Ling Lele waited until her mother left before daring to speak to Lin Qiang, she was fearless in the karaoke hall, but now she's as timid as a little cat, "You're too bad..."

  Lin Qiang cried and laughed: "Big sister, this is where you wronged me. I worked hard to persuade your parents to give you so much pocket money, but in the end, I became a bad person?"

  "No matter what, it's all bad!" Ling Lele turned her head and showed off her proud and spoiled personality. Then her face changed to being uneasy, anxiously asking, "You won't tell them, will you......"

  "Uh-huh, I told them." Lin Qiang nodded.

  "Cheater! You're a bad egg!" Ling Lele made a face, saying disdainfully, "You won't tell them, if you did, how would they still give me pocket money?"

  Lin Qiang spread his hands and said, "This girl always does things in reverse, so just let her be."

  "Come, let me tell you how this financial management works..."

  Later, Lin Qiang carefully explained to Ling Lele and deliberately guided her to consume in moderation, so that she could reap a lot of benefits the following year, and the benefits would be quite good from year to year.

  After explaining it once, Ling Lele pouted and said:

  "You're still cheating... If I had been frugal, in the end it would have only added up to a few hundred yuan..."

  "Hehe, I think there's more to it." Lin Qiang chuckled and hinted, "Think about it, why didn't your parents just give you pocket money directly, but instead bought this financial product?"

  "This... " Ling Yuelei wasn't stupid either, and smiled slyly, "Want me to learn to save money and develop a financial consciousness?"

  "Yes." Lin Qiang continued to ask, "If they see that you quickly take the money away, they will think this trick is useless and won't buy it next year either."

  "So...I suppose you're right..." Ling Lele supported her cheek with her hand and nodded seriously.

  "So, if you save more and manage this money well, they will be very happy and will definitely continue to buy next year. I will also persuade them to increase their investment."

  "Hmm..." Ling Lele thought for a moment, then opened her mouth wide and pointed at Lin Qiang, "You're too bad, you even counted my parents in!"

  Lin Qiang spread his hands: "You are my client, I naturally think for you, this is professional ethics."

  "Hmmph! You think I don't know what you're thinking!"

  "What am I thinking?"

  Ling Lele paused for a moment, and then her face suddenly clouded over with a layer of shadow. She lowered her head and sighed: "Uncle Lin... I know your good intentions. You advised my parents to give me more pocket money, so I wouldn't have to go there to work."

  "Sister can be taught." Lin felt relieved and comforted, after all, she was still sensible.

  "But... this line... isn't something you can just enter or exit at will..." Ling Lele lowered her head, her voice somewhat choked with sobs. "If I don't go... Fang Jie will definitely make things difficult for me..."

  "Her?!" Lin Qiang suddenly became somewhat annoyed, "A prostitute dares to threaten you?"

  "You didn't know... it turns out there's a sister who has to leave... finally..." Ling Lele slowly got up and was about to leave, "I'll go first... I'll think of a way to talk to Fang Jie properly... and come back for my allowance later."

  "I'll go with you!" Lin Qiang grabbed Ling Lele's arm, his face revealing a fierce light. The words that came out of his mouth made people laugh and cry at the same time. "Originally I still thought she was a fellow worker in the service industry, so I left her a way out. Who would have thought she dared to play like this? This is seeking death!"

  Ling Lele was held back by a firm palm, and for a moment she looked dazed. Then she hastily shook her head and said, "Don't help me... the song hall has regular thugs, if someone makes trouble they'll get beaten."

  Lin Qiang patted his chest: "I'm so bad, am I still afraid of fighting?"

  "You... don't care about me..." Ling Lele said, struggling to shake off her arm but couldn't break free from Lin Qiang's grip. "Let go..."

  "This is settled. Lin Qiang hummed softly, "You go back to school, I'll go to the song hall tonight and make things clear with Fang Qing. Tonight, no, from now on you don't have to go there anymore."

  Ling Lele looked at Lin Qiang's determined eyes and felt an unstoppable momentum, like a steel nail stuck on an iron plate, unshakeable.

  Lin Qiang's expression changed from stern to gentle as he slowly released Ling Lele's arm: "Don't worry, you go back, I'll take care of the rest."

  Ling Lele looked at Lin Qiang again, nodded with difficulty, and pushed open the door in a daze, ready to walk out.

  But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a fat face stuck on the side of the door.
