Chapter 281 - 281 196 Qiuqiu Lingling
?Chapter 281: Chapter 196 Qiuqiu, Lingling Chapter 281: Chapter 196 Qiuqiu, Lingling About Golden Shield Security, Tang Song was not unfamiliar.
He had seen this name before when he received his Mercedes-Benz S450L.
However, he didn’t recognize the legal representative or the shareholders.
What he could find out was that the company had some business dealings with “Shengtang Security,” which he created in a game.
They undertake some local activities such as event security, stationed duty, and personal bodyguard services.
He nodded briefly to the four individuals.
Tang Song’s gaze returned to the familiar faces in the office.
The White Knight Band quartet.
Having just enjoyed their performance the night before, it was quite a coincidence.
As their eyes met, Tang Song nodded imperceptibly and quickly moved his gaze away from her.
Cheng Qiuyu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but quickly shut it again.
Her mind was a mixture of emotions, still somewhat in disbelief.
The car owner was actually Tang Song?
Wasn’t he a programmer at Glimmer Coffee?
Her impression of Tang Song was rather memorable, and of course, it wasn’t a good one.
Perhaps for that reason, although they had quite a few interactions at work, she just nodded at Yinyue Banquet the previous night and did not greet him.
For her, Tang Song really could only be considered an acquaintance.
Zhao Xingzhi pointed to the two people on the bench, briefly introduced some information about them and the process of damaging the car cover.
Tang Song nodded and stepped over to Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing.
The moment he saw Liu Wenning, he understood the whole story.
It must have been the hug he shared with Gao Mengting downstairs that had upset him.
Having encountered him again at the music restaurant, he kicked the car a few times to vent his frustration.
No wonder he had refused to apologize at first.
Zhou Dongbing’s face changed colors, and he quickly stood up, saying in a deep voice, “Brother, I accidentally damaged your car cover last night. I am willing to compensate for the loss and sincerely apologize to you, hoping you can give me a chance to correct my mistake.”
Although he usually blustered about, when it really came down to it, what he felt more than anything was fear and timidity.
Especially since the other party was a powerful and wealthy man.
He was genuinely afraid of being sent away, as that would truly ruin him.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Wenning dared not look into Tang Song’s eyes, his voice trembling, “I’m sorry, I had too much to drink last night and wasn’t thinking clearly. I hope you can forgive me. I am willing to compensate for the damage to the car cover.”
“Hmm,” Tang Song nodded calmly, his gaze shifting away from him, measured and casual.
It was as if he didn’t remember him at all, too indifferent to spare him another glance.
Liu Wenning bit his lower lip hard, feeling a tremendous sense of humiliation.
He knew that Tang Song definitely remembered him, yet he acted as if he didn’t care at all.
It was clear he was saying that Liu Wenning was nothing in his eyes.
Moli looked at the handsome and indifferent Tang Song, her eyes sparkling.
While she deeply sympathized with her two friends’ plight, she still had to say, this “little brother” was darn handsome.
Especially his aura and demeanor, very much like the domineering CEO from novels.
In comparison, Liu Wenning, who was also handsome and attractive, seemed quite inferior, appearing all cowed and timid.
“Um… President Tang,” Moli said, straightening some wayward strands of her hair, speaking cautiously, “The four of us were together last night, and we indeed drank a lot. I’m so sorry for the trouble we caused you! Rest assured, they will cover all the repair costs, and I also hope you could show leniency.”
Cheng Qiuyu pursed her lips, ultimately choosing to remain silent.
She was there last night as well, but did not take immediate action to stop the incident after learning about it.
Moreover, Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing were her friends, and in a way, she was involved in the matter too.
She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and self-reproach.
…
Lawyer Zhao approached, whispering, “President Tang, if you don’t have any other demands, shall we proceed with the legal process?”
“Yes, thank you for your efforts, Lawyer Zhao.”
“You’re too kind,” Zhao Xingzhi smiled and turned to leave.
Tang Song spoke softly to a staff member of Golden Shield Security beside him.
Soon, the police officers from the station came over.
Holding two documents in his hand, he spoke with a serious expression, “Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing intentionally damaged other people’s property, and although they were forgiven due to the minor nature of the incident and thus not prosecuted, not being prosecuted does not mean not being punished. To urge you to deeply recognize your own wrongful actions, we have decided to impose an administrative detention of 5 days.”
Upon hearing that they would still be detained, the faces of Liu Wenning and Zhou Dongbing turned red and white in turns.
Still, they gritted their teeth and accepted it.
These consequences had all been laid out by that lawyer beforehand, and compared to going in to work the sewing machine, this was much better.
Liu Wenning lifted his head, looked up at the high and mighty Tang Song who disregarded him, and clenched his fists hard.
He firmly etched this moment of humiliation and fear into his memory.
Once matters were settled, Tang Song raised his wrist to check the time and said his goodbyes to Zhao Xingzhi and the others.
The four people escorted him out.
Cheng Qiuyu bit her lip and quickly followed them out.
“Hey, Qiuyu, what are you doing? The decision has been made, it’s no use looking for him now,” Moli called out to her.
Through the bright glass windows, Cheng Qiuyu could be seen chasing after Tang Song for a few steps before ultimately giving up.
Liu Wenning watched Qiuyu’s figure, feeling somewhat touched in his heart.
At a critical moment, Qiuyu still proved to be reliable.
…
At 20:30 in the evening.
With her cheeks flushed red, Yao Lingling stepped out of the restaurant’s front door, surrounded by several close colleagues from her company.
“Goodbye, let us know in the group when you get home.”
“Keep it up, Lingling!”
“See you next Monday!”
…
Her colleagues bid farewell and left one after another.
Li Shumin gave Yao Lingling a pat on the bottom, “Designer dear, don’t forget to bring me along when you make it big.”
Xiao Mingxuan chuckled, “Keep it up, Minmin, who knows, maybe you’ll get a chance like this one day.”
“Really?” Li Shumin’s face lit up with delight.
That’s the son of the company owner speaking; his words meant there might be a chance!
“Of course. Our company is going to get even better,” Xiao Mingxuan said with a pursed smile, pressing his car keys, “Let’s go home, you two beauties. I’ll drive you.”
In the parking spot by the doorstep, the lights of a Honda Civic blinked.
During his two months as an assistant at the company, he had been very low-key. Whether it was driving or dressing up, he tried to maintain his persona to better integrate into the company.
“Rumble—” The roaring sound of the engine started.
The bright projector headlights illuminated the road ahead.
Black tires rolled over the clean streets, heading towards the Star Garden Community.
Laughter filled the car.
Yao Lingling rolled down the car window, the evening breeze hitting her face and scattering her long hair.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling a level of relaxation and joy like never before.
The sample review meeting went perfectly, and she received unanimous praise from several senior designers and executives.
On Monday, she would be able to change her labor contract.
Her salary would increase by 3,000 yuan, with even more performance bonuses.
From assistant to a real designer, she achieved the expectations she had set for herself before graduation.
From now on, she could design all kinds of clothes that she liked, turning her ideas and inspirations into reality.
Xiao Mingxuan, in the driver’s seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and chuckled, “Lingling, now that you’ve achieved your small goal of promotion and salary raise, what’s the next thing you really want to do?”
Yao Lingling opened her eyes and playfully said, “Things I want to do? Of course, there are tons and tons, and this weekend is definitely going to be very happy.”
After speaking, she looked down at her bag, remembering there was another matter she couldn’t forget.
She took out her phone from her bag and opened Tang Song’s chat.
Yao Lingling messaged with a giggle, “Little brother, little brother! Your sample garment is all done. You can come and get it when you’re free, and try it on to see if it fits. If there are any issues, I can alter it anytime.”
“Ding-dong—”
[Tang Song: “That’s great, are you free tonight? I’ll come over to pick it up now.”]
Yao Lingling blinked and replied, “Sure, I should be home in about 30 minutes. I live right next to Yan City University of Science and Technology. I’ll send you the location.”
[Tang Song: “Okay, see you later.”]
