"What happened?" Wang Lin asked as he walked towards the office in Aixiu Square.

Guo Lingling quickened her steps to keep up with Wang Lin, and said, "Boss Li just told me to find you as soon as possible, but he didn't say what it was."

Wang Lin thought, it must be a big deal, and Li Jiaxin probably felt that it was useless to tell Guo Lingling, so she didn't say anything.

Love Show Plaza has its own office area.

Wang Lin was afraid that he would have an important call, so he arranged for a secretary to be on duty in the office.

Aixiu Company also left Jin Yue on duty.

Wang Lin came to the office and made a long-distance call to Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin quickly answered the phone.

"Jiaxin, it's me, what happened?" Wang Lin asked.

"My lord, we're opening here."

"Oh, I know, we opened at the same time. The Shanghai Fashion Show has just started."

"Just now, a member of an association ran over and asked us to pay the sanitation fee."

"Collect sanitation fees? Hehe, is there such a thing? What about the people in the police station? Don't you care about it?"

"Young master, the police station can't handle this kind of thing."

Wang Lin pondered for a while and asked, "How much do they want?"

"30."

"30? This is really a lion's mouth!" Wang Lin sneered.

Guo Lingling, who was next to her, couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, wondering what kind of sanitation fee is so expensive? 30 sanitation fees?Isn't this robbery?How did she know that others were here to rob.

Li Jiaxin said: "My lord, do you want to invite the Tang family to come forward? Now only the Tang family can control the situation. As long as Boss Tang speaks a word, these people will obediently retreat."

Wang Lin couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons.

He didn't want to get too close to Tang Jixian, but in fact, he was getting closer and closer to the Tang family.

Some people and some things cannot be avoided just by thinking about them.

Li Jiaxin said: "Young Master, these people are greedy. We gave this association 30 sanitation fees today, and another association will come to charge tomorrow. We hold such a big fashion show in the Red Hall. If they come here every day to make trouble, then We can't make it either."

Wang Lin couldn't help having a headache.

The money over there is really not that easy to earn.

Aixiu Group opened a branch in Xiangjiang before, and encountered more or less troubles, all of which were settled by relying on Tang Jixian's name.

However, it didn't make much noise in the past. The pioneering act of booking the red hall like today and inviting dozens of performing arts stars must have caused a sensation, and it also attracted all kinds of monsters and ghosts.

Wang Lin said slowly: "I see, I will call Boss Tang to talk about it."

Li Jiaxin said: "Young Master, if you are in trouble, I will just come forward. I have a good relationship with Miss Tang. If I tell her, she will help us."

Wang Lin murmured, "You said the same thing as me. Hey, we're opening today, didn't we invite Boss Tang and Boss Yan?"

"I invited them, but they all said they couldn't come due to something. My son, you are not here, we don't have enough face, please don't let them go." Li Jiaxin replied, "Big brothers at their age are not interested in catwalks. .”

Wang Lin hummed, and said, "Okay, I'll call Boss Tang. You hold off on those people first, and don't let them make trouble."

Li Jiaxin said: "Young master, I know, hurry up, they are outside, telling us to hand over 30 within half an hour. Otherwise—"

"How about otherwise?"

"They said that if there is a lot of rubbish in the stadium and no one cleans it up, then don't blame them."

"..."

Is it really a sanitation fee?

It is more expensive!
Wang Lin gave a wry smile, there was no one else in the society with such a mess!

Why don't you do something serious?Like Tang Jixian, Yan Shixiong and the others, they have already gone ashore, making more money than the club?

Wang Lin put down the phone, pondered for a while, is he looking for Tang Jixian or Yan Shixiong?

One guest does not bother two hosts.

Wang Lin had already owed Tang Jixian a lot of favors before, and he didn't need this one more.

On the contrary, it was Yan Shixiong, Wang Lin didn't have a deeper relationship with him, if he begged today, wouldn't he owe him a favor in the future?

The relationship between him and the Tang family has long been cut and messed up.

Wang Lin smiled wryly and called the Tang family.

Today was the weekend, and Tang Jixian happened to not go out.

It was a servant of the Tang family who answered the phone. Hearing that it was Wang Lin, he said that the master was visiting.

Wang Lin's matter is urgent, otherwise he will wait until Tang Jixian's meeting is over before talking about it.

The servant was talking, and Tang Jixian, who was sitting on the sofa, heard her calling Mr. Wang, and asked, "Is it Wang Lin's call?"

"Yes, master." The servant replied respectfully, "It's the call from the prince of Shencheng, saying that he has something urgent to ask the master."

Tang Jixian waved to the guest, then got up and walked over, took the microphone, and said, "Wang Lin!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, I'm sorry."

"Hey! What's the trouble?" Tang Jixian said, "What's the relationship between us? You are welcome to disturb me at any time. I really like chatting with young people who are capable and thoughtful like you. Every time I talk to you, I can benefit greatly.”

"Uncle Tang's praise." Wang Lindao, "Our Aixiu Group held a fashion show in Xiangjiang, which opened at the Red Pavilion at ten o'clock today. I was negligent and forgot to invite Uncle Tang to watch it."

"Oh, I already know about this. Ms. Li personally invited me to my home. I have to meet an important guest today, so I didn't go. Wang Lin, you don't have to be so polite, you even made a special trip to call me to tell me." Tang Jixian's voice was calm, and he laughed with a magnetic voice.

Wang Lindao: "Uncle Tang, it's like this. Someone came to our opening ceremony venue and said that they would charge 30 yuan for sanitation. I don't know if there is such a rule in Xiangjiang? So I asked Uncle Tang for advice."

"There is such a thing?" Tang Jixian said sharply, "Who is charging?"

Wang Lin named a society.

Tang Jixian snorted coldly: "I see. Wang Lin, I will send someone to deal with this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Lin knew that the other party kept his promise. He said he would send someone to deal with it, so he would definitely deal with it, so he said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, and I'm sorry for the trouble."

Tang Jixian said: "These people are lawless now! It's unreasonable! How dare you even smash my Tang's place? Hmph!"

Wang Lin thought, this is my place, when did it become your place?

However, when Tang Jixian said that, he was not treating him as an outsider.

Wang Lin can't refute without understanding, right?

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two ended the call.

Tang Jixian hung up the phone, picked up the phone again, dialed a number, and said in a very stern tone: "You go to the Red Pavilion right away. The show in the Red Pavilion was opened by someone from Tang, who gave them the courage to dare Where do you go to collect the money? If you spread the word, whoever dares to smash the signboard of the show in the Red Pavilion will have trouble with my Tang!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone with a bang.

On Shencheng's side, Wang Lin did not leave, but sat in the office to listen to Li Jiaxin's echo.

He took out his cigarette, took one out and put it in his mouth.

Guo Lingling took out a lighter and lit it for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin glanced at her: "You smoke too?"

"Don't smoke."

"What do you buy a lighter for? It's not cheap."

"I'm just afraid that it will be useful sometimes. I can light a cigarette for you, Mr. Wang."

"You have a heart!"

Guo Lingling smiled shyly and put away the lighter.

Wang Lin sat on the office chair with his legs crossed, smoking and thinking.

Guo Lingling asked: "Mr. Wang, who is the other party? Dare to charge 30 for sanitation?"

Wang Lindao: "Who do you think they are?"

Guo Lingling shook her head: "Anyway, he's not a good person."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "In your eyes, am I a good person?"

"Of course Mr. Wang is a good person." Guo Lingling said, "Mr. Wang has arranged hundreds of thousands of jobs. Everyone says you are a living Bodhisattva!"

Wang Lin was stunned: "Who said that?"

"The employees below are discussing."

"Don't say that! Don't spread it like that. Did you hear me? I just did a small thing within my power. How can you say that about me?"

"This, isn't this a good word?"

"Good words? You don't understand! Forget it, I can't explain it to you. Anyway, I don't like others to label me, no matter what kind of label it is."

"Yes, Mr. Wang." Guo Lingling really didn't understand that her thoughts were not at Wang Lin's level.

Wang Lin glanced at her.

Guo Lingling's hair was pulled back, she was wearing a white shirt, a short wrap skirt, black silk and black high heels, and she looked neat and clean.

"Mr. Wang, shall I make you a cup of tea?"

"Well, I don't have my cup here, do I?"

"Mr. Wang, can I use my cup?"

"Okay. Herbal tea will do."

Guo Lingling smiled sweetly, turned around and picked up the water glass she was carrying with her, and brought Wang Lin a cup of tea.

The moment she handed the cup to Wang Lin, she suddenly saw her own lipstick marks on the rim of the cup.

She quickly turned the cup around, facing her with the lipstick mark.

But Wang Lin still saw it.

He took the cup, looked at her lips, and said, "The color of your lipstick is very beautiful, but it's a pity that it's not very elegant to print on the cup. As a secretary to represent the image of a company, you can't use those cheap lipsticks." .”

"Ah?" Guo Lingling felt a kind of humiliation in her heart and almost shed tears.

Wang Lindao: "Remember to use better lipstick next time, good lipstick will not fade."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I understand." Guo Lingling said shamelessly.

Wang Lin put down her water glass and didn't drink it.

At this moment, Guo Lingling was even more ashamed.

The phone on the desk rang.

Wang Lin took the opportunity to answer the phone.

Li Jiaxin's happy laughter came from the phone: "My lord, it's all right, those people are gone. It's still my lord who is the best!"

Wang Lindao: "I'm amazing! Boss Tang is amazing!"

He sighed secretly in his heart, he thought he had drawn a clear line with Tang Jixian, but in the end there was still an entanglement, between the two parties, I'm afraid it will be inseparable in the future!
"Master, I miss you." Li Jiaxin said softly.

Wang Lin coughed lightly: "Yes, I see."

Li Jiaxin knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak, so she stopped talking and said with a smile: "Young master, then I'm going to work. Sister Deng is currently on stage! Her demeanor has fascinated a large group of people, and the audience is all whistling." And shout good."

"Well, remember to record it, I want to watch it again." Wang Lin said with a smile, "The Xiangjiang branch venue must be very lively."

"Yes, there are no empty seats in the red hall."

"Okay, that's it, I still have something to do here, let's talk."

Wang Lin hung up the phone and went back to watch the show.

Guo Lingling dejectedly picked up her water glass, staring at the red lip marks on it in a daze.

She took out her wallet and went out to the nearby shopping mall.

As soon as he walked out, he saw a young man standing outside. When he saw her coming out, he shouted, "Guo Lingling!"

"Zhao Bolin? What are you doing?" Guo Lingling asked.

That young man was none other than Zhao Bolin, her male classmate in high school, who was later admitted to a different university, and now also joined the Aixiu Group, working in the marketing department.

Zhao Bolin scratched his forehead and said with a smile: "I know you are here, so I came to look for you."

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Guo Lingling asked as she walked towards the supermarket.

Zhao Bolin smiled and said, "It's nothing, isn't it a rest today? Come here and ask you, do you want to watch a movie together?"

"Watching a movie? Do you think I am so busy? How can I have time to go to the movies?"

"What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going shopping. What are you doing with me?"

"What do you want to buy? Shall I give it to you?"

"No need. I'll buy it myself."

The air conditioner is turned on in the supermarket, and it will be much cooler when you walk in.

There are many counters for cosmetics on the first floor.

Guo Lingling came to a cosmetics counter of a foreign brand and happened to encounter a promotional event for cosmetics.

She only glanced at it, and the enthusiastic promoter immediately pulled her back.

"Do you have any good lipstick here?" Guo Lingling asked.

The promoter introduced her to a French brand of lipstick.

This lipstick has vivid and beautiful color, does not fade and does not stick to the cup, which makes Guo Lingling very excited.

The salesman saw that she liked it, so he took out the trial kit, applied it on the back of Guo Lingling's hands, and said with a smile, "Look, this kind of lipstick doesn't fade easily, and you need to use our special makeup remover to remove it." Wash it cleanly. Now when you buy lipstick, you can get a bottle of makeup remover and a pack of cotton pads, which is very cost-effective."

Guo Lingling wiped the lipstick marks on the back of her left hand with her right hand, and it really didn't fade.

Zhao Bolin saw what she was thinking, and took out his wallet to ask the price.

The promoter said that there will be a 8% discount during the event, and the price will be 388 yuan.

Zhao Bolin's hand froze there suddenly.

He glanced at Guo Lingling and blushed in embarrassment. He probably didn't expect that a lipstick would be worth 388 yuan, which was equivalent to his salary for more than a month, and he didn't have so much money in his wallet.

Guo Lingling immediately felt hurt, knowing that he couldn't afford it.

The problem is, Guo Lingling didn't expect this lipstick to be so expensive!
She is just Wang Lin's secretary, and her salary is not too high.

Living in this big city, she has exhausted all her energy. In order to own a fund-raising house of her own, saving money has become the focus of her life.

Her clothing and cosmetics only accounted for a very small part of her daily expenses. Most of her lipsticks cost about 10 yuan a piece. She never cared about its price. She only thought that youth is the capital of pride, but today she feels seriously Self-esteem is hurt.

If Wang Lin hadn't put down her water glass in disgust, she would never have felt inferior because of using cheap lipstick.

She found that her mood was obviously different. Like many girls, she had a sense of loss that her vanity was not satisfied.

If Wang Lin hadn't put down her water glass, she wouldn't have gone to the cosmetics counter in France to ask the price of the lipstick.

Seeing a good lipstick sold for more than a month's salary, Guo Lingling's emotions were beyond words.

And the man next to him who was obviously pursuing her, took out his wallet but couldn't pay the bill, made her lose someone again!

From the smiling expression of the promoters, it can be seen that they have long been used to this kind of man who has no money, and even the expression of ridicule is stingy and does not want to give him.

Guo Lingling's self-esteem received the most merciless blow in her life at this moment.

She turned away.

Because the money in her wallet is not enough to buy this lipstick.

The promoters behind them, head to head, giggled.

Guo Lingling's face instantly turned red up to her ears.

Zhao Bolin caught up and said, "There's no need to use such expensive lipsticks, you can also use cheaper ones. Domestic lipsticks are no worse than foreign ones."

Guo Lingling's chest rose and fell sharply. She stopped and looked at the man in front of her who seemed extremely humble because of money and love.

She wanted to say something, but this is a supermarket, there are too many people coming and going, she didn't want to make a fool of herself here, so she walked out quickly.

Zhao Bolin didn't know that the goddess was angry, so he quickly followed.

Guo Lingling returned to the office.

Zhao Bolin hesitated for a while, then followed in.

Guo Lingling closed the office door and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Bolin asked Ai Ai eagerly: "Guo Lingling, I just want to invite you to watch a movie, or have a meal together at noon?"

"I don't want to watch a movie! I don't want to go to dinner with you either! I'm afraid you can't afford the bill! Do you understand?" Guo Lingling sat down on a chair angrily and said, "You can't get involved in my life! You still Don’t understand? The lipstick I use is 388 yuan a piece, which is still a 388% discount! You can’t even afford it! Can you afford the food I eat? I can eat [-] yuan for a meal, Do you believe it or not?"

"Huh? One meal, 388 yuan? Is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible? A bottle of better wine costs 300 yuan! Can you afford it?"

"..." Zhao Bolin instantly petrified, "Are you a woman who worships money?"

Guo Lingling laughed at herself: "Money worship? Is this called money worship? I haven't bought a mansion or a foreign car yet! Go and see Mrs. Wang's life. From clothes to cosmetics, she doesn't use anything other than famous brands. She squanders money." It is her happiness. What qualifications do women like us have to talk about worshiping money? I just want to live with a little dignity! But, even this minimum dignity, you can't give me! I beg you, Stay away from me from now on, okay?"

Zhao Bolin turned around dejectedly, and left dejectedly.

Guo Lingling opened her wallet and closed it again. She bit her lip: "I want to change my life! I can't be a woman who is looked down upon and has no dignity!"

But how could she live with more dignity?

She is just a little secretary with a dead salary.

For a fund-raising house, she has tried her best, taking out all the savings of her parents and family, as well as her monthly salary.

Unless married?

When I was in school, two kinds of feelings were popular on campus, one was to choose poor spiritual love for love, and the other was to choose material marriage because of money.

After the lights are turned off in the girls' dormitory, Guo Lingling often discusses these two feelings with her roommates.

At that time, pure-minded girls would choose the first relationship without hesitation, thinking that a marriage without love would be a self-deprecation.

Guo Lingling has always had such innocent thoughts.

However, she met Shang Liwen.

Shang Liwen is a rich man.

However, the relationship between her and Shang Liwen did not bear fruit.

After Shang Liwen left without saying goodbye, Guo Lingling's emotional life fell into a state of contradiction.

She has been unable to find the goal she wants.

With her beauty and education, there are not many men in the company who pursue her.

Zhao Bolin is just one of many suitors, and he is the most inconspicuous one.

Guo Lingling now understands better that it is impossible for her to enter the marriage hall with such a man.

She suddenly thought of the conversations between girls in college, and she asked herself softly: Could it be that I would choose a material marriage because of money?

Guo Lingling was thirsty, she picked up the cup to drink water, but immediately saw the lip marks on the rim of the cup, she poured out the glass of water angrily, and scrubbed the lip marks on the rim of the cup fiercely.

But what's the use of wiping it off?
As soon as she uses the cup again, the cheap lipstick will be on the rim again.

The instigator, Comrade Wang Lin, probably never imagined that his unintentional words and actions caused a storm in the secretary's heart!
The catwalk event of the day was very successful.

Almost all the clothes sold on site are sold out!

With the best design and perfect quality, Aishu Group has conquered foreign businessmen.

Many foreign businessmen who watched the catwalk also placed orders one after another.

The child couldn't sit still, Li Wenxiu wanted to accompany her son, and went home after watching a few catwalk shows.

Wang Lin didn't go home until ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Wenxiu made him a delicious supper.

Under the soft light, Wang Lin and his wife sat face to face at home.

While eating with gusto, Li Wenxiu looked up at him, and suddenly said a word: "Who is the person you love the most in this world?"

Such an abrupt question almost made Wang Lin pissed off, because the question was too strange and extravagant.

Wang Lin knew there was something in her words, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I love my parents the most, even though they are no longer here."

This answer can be said to be impeccable.

Li Wenxiu didn't seem surprised, and said, "Then, do you know who is the person I love the most?"

Wang Lin said, "You yourself? Or your parents?"

Li Wenxiu shook her head lightly: "Neither. The person I love the most is—"

Her eyes were calm and calm, and it was obvious that her answer was well thought out.
