Chapter 160: The Funny Little Receptionist
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
It had taken her much time and energy to choose such a “wonderful” place for that bastard girl, but she did not expect the bastard to grow up safely and return, which completely ruined her plan. She really regretted not killing her at the start!
Hearing her words, Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and a contemptuous gleam flashed through her eyes. “Ms. Lin, have you ever been to that place? You should know that the one you called b*stard is your own niece. You use your sister’s money yet belittle her child. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
The others present shot disdainful looks at Lin Jiao when they heard Mrs. Chen’s words, thinking that people like Lin Jiao who always put her own interest first were rare now. It had to be because Xiao Jinning was famous that she tried to defend her.
Noticing that attitudes of the others towards her had clearly changed all of a sudden, Lin Jiao frowned as she turned towards Mrs. Chen and said with a sneer, “Mrs. Chen, why are you trying to defend that bastard girl since you haven’t even seen her? You’re just trying to curry favor with the Xiao Family, aren’t you?!” Then with a cold snort, she continued, “Yes, the Xiao Family is very powerful in City A. I can understand why you want to do this. But right now, the Xiao Family hasn’t decided on how to deal with Xiao Rou and my sister hasn’t acknowledged Xiao Rou, so how can you have the cheek to praise her like this?”
Mrs. Chen didn’t get angry after listening to Lin Jiao’s words but sat leisurely instead. She raised her eyes at the latter and said with a faint smile, “I don’t want to ingratiate myself with the Xiao Family. But Ms. Lin, you’d better think of what to do if your words offend your patron—the Xiao Family.”
Lin Jiao’s face changed and a flustered look flickered across her eyes, but she concealed her panic and snorted coldly. She said, “Don’t worry. You’ll get your money.” She believed that as long as those men went to visit Furao International’s general manager in the name of Lin Ru’s sister and ask him for money, he would surely make a report to Lin Ru. Her sister would not dare to refuse as she would tell her mom otherwise, and then Lin Ru would end up in big trouble.
With this in mind, Lin Ru laughed complacently in her heart. Yes, Lin Ru became rich after marrying a rich man, but so what? She would never be able to escape the Lin Family’s control and she could only be manipulated by them!
Seeing Lin Jiao so confident, Mrs. Chen snorted and said that would be the best before continuing to play mahjong.
On the other side of things, a bouncer of the casino had arrived at Furao International and asked the receptionist to contact the general manager. The receptionist was startled when she saw this big man in dark glasses and a black suit, so she asked carefully, “Sir, why do you want to see our general manager?”
The bouncer frowned as he wondered to himself: hadn’t Lin Jiao mentioned the matter to the general manager? He thought for a while before coming out fierce. “Why? To take money, of course! Just call your general manager and tell him we’re from Lily Casino and he’ll know.”
The receptionist’s heart beat faster at his words. Had the general manager gone to the casino to gamble and lost money...? Was that why someone from the casino had come for him now?
With this thought in mind, the receptionist called the general manager’s secretary and informed her of the situation. The secretary also didn’t know what had happened, so she asked the receptionist to wait a minute while she went to ask the general manager about it. The receptionist carefully said yes and after a minute or two, the secretary’s cold voice came from the phone. “Don’t bother the general manager for this stupid matter! He has never heard of Lily Casino. Have the security guards drive them out.”
The receptionist was relieved to get the instruction from the secretary. Great, the general manager remained that wise, great leader in her heart! She hung up the phone and looked coldly up at the bouncer. Her aura immediately changed and her voice became cold, “Sir, are you looking for the wrong person? Our general manager has never heard of Lily Casino before. Please leave.”
The bouncer was stunned. He faced the beautiful receptionist and asked, “Are you sure? I was told to come here and get money. Can you ask again?”
The receptionist naturally wouldn’t ask again because her doing so would signify that she, a minor employee, was suspicious of their wise, great general manager. That being the case, her face sank and she replied coldly, “Sir, if you don’t leave, I will ask the security guards to take you out. Please leave. Our general manager doesn’t know you!”
The bouncer had just come to take money. Mrs. Chen had only asked him to receive what was due and didn’t say he could make trouble here, so the bouncer immediately turned to leave Furao Building, leaving a cool figure.
Watching the bouncer’s proud and cool retreating figure, the receptionist curled her lips as she muttered, “Don’t think you can cheat any money out of our Furao International! I have sharp eyes!” And then she sat down, secretly took out her cell phone under the table and began to play a game.
At that moment, a handsome, mature-looking man walked over to knock on the reception table, asking in a deep voice, “Where did the man say he was from?”
The receptionist was so startled that she immediately turned off her cellphone and jumped up, and at the moment she saw the man, she blushed and stammered, “President Yang, that man said he was from Lily Casino and he came here to take money.”
Yang Qimo grunted in response as he glanced at the receptionist and then flatly pointed out, “Miss Wen, this is your workplace, not a place to play games. You can play after work.” With that, he took out his cellphone from his trouser pocket and walked towards the outside while making a phone call.
The receptionist looked ashamed, but the next second she covered her chest and almost fainted.
President Yang was so handsome!
By the time Yang Qimo walked out of Furao Building with the phone in hand, the call had connected. He said solemnly, “Just now, a man from Lily Casino came here and asked for money. I doubt that the person you are looking for is in the casino, but shall I go over there and check?”
The person on the other side of the line said something and he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go over and have a look. Don’t worry.” Then he hung up the phone, following which his car happened to be driven to him by a security guard. He got on the car, set the navigation to Lily Casino and began to drive.
On her side of things, Mrs. Chen hung up the phone, tossed it aside and turned her eyes to Lin Jiao.
