CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 67: PAID TO RESOLVE OTHERS’ TROUBLES

Chi Xingtong looked at Su Heng’s face that made her infatuated, her slender fingers moved slightly: "Am I not pretty enough?"

Why would Su Heng want to get to know Gu Ningyue? And be so persistent?

With Ling Tianyou in front of her, even Su Heng now regarded Gu Ningyue highly, which made her feel a bit jealous.

"If you’re willing, you could try coming to our company when you have some time." Su Heng reached out and took out a business card: "Here’s the address of our company."

Chi Xingtong took it with both hands, "Really?"

Although Su Heng hasn’t been in the entertainment industry for long, he quickly understands the meaning of certain things: "Of course! I don’t even know your name yet!"

Chi Xingtong said: "Chi Xingtong, just call me Xingtong."

Su Heng silently repeated the name in his mind, Chi Xingtong? The Chi family’s youngest daughter who has been abroad all this time?

Turns out, his luck is indeed pretty good.

"Still, let’s go with Miss Chi!" Su Heng raised his glass, "It’s more respectful that way."

Chi Xingtong felt a bit disappointed: "Okay."

Gu Ningyue listened to the conversation, feeling something was off with this Su Heng.

Is he naturally so ’well-mannered’, or is he playing push-pull tactics with Chi Xingtong?

"Miss Chi’s qualifications are good too, just that she’s a different type from your friend, not quite suitable for the type we want to recruit lately, so that’s why I didn’t mention it." Su Heng said with a smile: "Sorry for the misunderstanding."

Chi Xingtong shook her head, "It’s okay, I understand. Could I take a picture with you?"

Su Heng paused for a moment, then his face returned to the previous calmness: "Of course you can, but you can’t post it on social media or use it commercially."

"I won’t." Chi Xingtong looked at him and said: "I just want to keep it for myself to look at."

They took a picture together and Gu Ningyue reminded: "Signature, don’t forget the signature."

Chi Xingtong just remembered, embarrassedly smiling: "Could you sign something for my friend as well?"

Su Heng looked surprised: "Your friend doesn’t like me, right? So why the autograph now?"

Chi Xingtong thought for a while and said: "I’m not quite sure myself."

If she said she was asking for someone else, Su Heng would be even less pleased!

Su Heng said nothing more, signing behind the photo and then on another piece of paper which he gave to Chi Xingtong.

He raised his watch to check the time: "Miss Chi, I have things to attend to later, I’ll be leaving first."

Chi Xingtong was a bit surprised: "So soon?" Was it really work, or because she wasn’t Gu Ningyue?

Su Heng chuckled lightly: "Too bad, work calls, goodbye."

Chi Xingtong stood up, seeing Su Heng off, "Will we meet again in the future?"

She knew she shouldn’t ask, but she couldn’t help herself.

Su Heng turned his head, his fair and handsome face making one’s heart flutter: "If there’s a chance, of course we can. Miss Chi is very cute."

Chi Xingtong blushed, happily waving: "Goodbye."

After Su Heng left, Chi Xingtong immediately closed the room door and asked Gu Ningyue: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Oh my, Su Heng called me cute! Hahaha..."

Gu Ningyue was speechless: "Calm down."

Chi Xingtong, with her hot body and sultry vibe, shouldn’t Su Heng have complimented her as sexy? Yet he called her cute!

This person, is he blind or something?

"I can’t calm down, oh my!" Chi Xingtong hugged the phone and giggled foolishly in the private room: "I really don’t understand how you’re indifferent towards him, he’s too perfect! Boohoo..."

Chi Xingtong alternated between laughing and crying, Gu Ningyue couldn’t bear listening anymore: "Remember to transfer the final payment to me! Bye!"

After hanging up the call, Gu Ningyue stood up from the toilet, just opening the bathroom door to see Ling Tianyou leaning against the wall: "Finished the call?"

Gu Ningyue’s expression froze: "Wh-when did you come here?"

Wasn’t he busy reviewing documents? Why did he come to guard the door for her?

Ling Tianyou’s expression was a mix of laughing and not: "You were inside for over half an hour, I came to check. What’s this about the final payment, let’s hear it!"

Gu Ningyue forced a dry smile: "This, this..."

How could she say it! If she did, wouldn’t she lose her final payment?

"Hey hey, why are you grabbing my phone!" In an unguarded moment, Ling Tianyou took the phone from Gu Ningyue’s hands: "This is an invasion of privacy, you know! Give it back to me!"

Ling Tianyou looked at the recent calls on the screen, "What were you talking to Xing Tong about? You two have been acting strange these days."

Gu Ningyue stammered, "Just girl stuff, you don’t get it!"

Ling Tianyou looked at her, "Oh? Really? Then I’ll call Xing Tong and ask!"

Gu Ningyue’s eyes darted, "Hmm, go ahead and call!"

Better her friend Chi Xingtong, who grew up with Ling Tianyou, handle this scenario!

Seeing her relieved expression, Ling Tianyou was a bit surprised, isn’t this girl afraid at all?

Or is this matter unrelated to Gu Ningyue?

He dialed Chi Xingtong’s number, glancing at Gu Ningyue: "Xingtong, what were you chatting about with my wife?"

Gu Ningyue: "..." Wife? Just hearing that word gave her goosebumps.

Not knowing what Chi Xingtong said, Ling Tianyou softened a bit after the call: "I didn’t realize you were helping with purchases."

She felt Ling Tianyou’s words had hidden meanings, hesitant to directly answer his question: "I knew some sellers before, so I was just helping her connect..."

Ling Tianyou gazed at her like a teacher lecturing a student: "Alright, tell me, what did you buy?"

Gu Ningyue awkwardly smiled: "Just clothes, makeup, jewelry, things like that! What else would a girl buy?"

"Oh? Really?" Ling Tianyou’s expression suddenly turned odd: "But Xing Tong said you helped her buy a cat with odd-colored eyes, what’s up with that?"

Gu Ningyue inwardly exclaimed ’oh boy’, knowing Chi Xingtong hadn’t told the truth.

"Well! The cat’s just one of them." Gu Ningyue nervously continued making stuff up: "That breed’s hard to find here, haha..."

"Gu Ningyue!" Ling Tianyou chuckled darkly: "You sure know how to cover things up!"

He turned to leave, clearly unhappy with Gu Ningyue and Chi Xingtong’s collaborative deception.

Gu Ningyue had planned to explain, but on second thought, she couldn’t sell out Chi Xingtong for money.

Moreover, right now even if she explains, Ling Tianyou wouldn’t be appeased.

She sighed, sitting wearily on the hospital bed.

Now, she could only pray Ling Tianyou gets immersed in work and quickly forgets about this matter!
