Chapter 29: The Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 29

Recently, the company's projects have all been on the right track. Zhong Ruanxing has little to do except report on the progress, so she can fully experience the joy of slacking off in the president's office.

When in a new environment, she can't help wanting to add something new. Whenever she has nothing to do, she lies on the comfortable leather sofa and shops online. The deliveries have finally arrived one by one these past two days.

When Tong Ling received the call from the company receptionist, she thought she had misheard: "President Song's...deliveries?"

Receptionist: "Yes, ten of them."

Tong Ling was in a daze: "Okay, I'll come down to get them right away."

Riding the elevator to the first floor, the beautiful receptionist had the same dazed expression: "Sister Tong, these are all... I didn't know President Song would shop online too!"

Don't ask her! She was also very surprised!

Tong Ling took the packages back, and couldn't help but look at the logistics information. The recipient was indeed the boss's name, but why was the seller called "Cute Cultural Dream Small Store"?

As if glimpsing some terrible secret, Tong Ling quickly withdrew her gaze, not daring to look any further.

After knocking on the door of the president's office, a few seconds later she heard the boss' low, charming voice: "Come in."

Tong Ling pushed open the door: "President Song, your deliveries have arrived."

Zhong Ruanxing had just gotten up from the sofa and sat up straight. She still maintained Song JinXing's image in front of others: "Put them on the table." Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Tong Ling did as she was told, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the boss ask: "Did you dye your hair?"

Tong Ling was shocked, and her brain worked furiously to quickly recall if there was a clear ban on hair dye in the company handbook.

In just three seconds, just three seconds, she had already thought through how to write her resignation letter!

Then she heard the boss say in a smiling tone: "The new hair color looks great."

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Tong Ling's cheeks were a little red. She usually spoke very little in front of the boss, only brief exchanges about work. At this moment, she couldn't help but respond: "I went shopping yesterday and came across a new store having its grand opening. They happened to have a discount, so I tried it out."

Zhong Ruanxing almost couldn't resist asking where the new store was. She wanted to try it too.

Luckily she didn't forget her identity, and solemnly nodded: "Not bad, it suits your skin tone."

Tong Ling suppressed her accelerated heartbeat: "Thank you for the compliment, President Song."

Song JinXing had probably never been here before. When the driver drove into the luxury residential compound, the security guard checked for a long time before respectfully allowing them to enter after learning of Song's identity.

Since entry was so strict, how did that sneaky man get in?

Zhong Ruanxing followed Fu Ling all the way to Song Shuling's front door. The door was half open, and the subordinates keeping watch had already subdued the intruding man. She didn't know how Fu Ling had conveyed the message, but the man was tied up elaborately, with a towel stuffed in his mouth, looking exactly like a kidnapped victim.

Zhong Ruanxing entered the house and waved for Fu Ling to close the door before walking up to the struggling man.

He was quite a young and oily handsome man.

The very capable-looking subordinate next to him respectfully said: "Boss Song, he stole Third Miss' jewelry and designer bags. They're all here."

Zhong Ruanxing glanced at the dirty items on the side, then looked condescendingly at the terrified man. After taking a picture of him, she found Song Shuling on WeChat and sent it over.

The reply came quickly. Song Shuling sent back three question marks.

Zhong Ruanxing: 【Do you know him?】

Song Shuling: 【......!! I'm coming back right away!】

She had seen that Song Shuling's door had a passcode lock and wasn't broken into. This man could enter the residential compound smoothly and knew the passcode to Song Shuling's home. Clearly something was going on.

Zhong Ruanxing glanced at the shivering young man, and didn't bother with him further. While waiting for Song Shuling to return, she put on Bluetooth earphones to finish watching the Bilibili expert's video she had been watching in the office.

In less than half an hour, she heard the sound of the passcode being entered outside the door. Song Shuling, looking rushed, pushed the door open. Seeing the scene inside, the angry expression on her face froze, then became somewhat complicated.

Seeing her, the young man immediately struggled violently, the towel in his mouth muffling his cries of her name.

Zhong Ruanxing took off her earphones and signaled for the subordinate to remove the towel from his mouth.

As soon as it was removed, she immediately heard his pathetic wailing cries: "Lingling! Save me! Tell them we know each other, I'm not a thief!"

Song Shuling's expression was ugly. She walked up to him and slapped him resoundingly, snarling: "We broke up already, what are you still doing at my house!"

Oh? Turns out he was the ex-boyfriend.

Zhong Ruanxing raised her eyebrows.

The ex-boyfriend didn't get angry from being hit, only desperately begged for mercy: "Lingling, it's all a misunderstanding. Tell them to let me go first, my hands are about to break off, they beat me up too, I think my bones are fractured."

Song Shuling: "You deserve it! Why didn't they just beat you to death!"
