Metropolis: It’s a Showdown, I Am the Richest Man in the World

Chapter 196 Sister Xiaoshuang Is Such a Miserable Person

Li Lingwei suddenly fell to her knees, holding the boss's legs tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Boss, please don't fire me, I really have nowhere to go."

Her voice was full of helplessness and despair, like a drowning person struggling in the abyss.

The boss looked at her like this, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but thinking of Lin Yuan's background and strength, he hardened his heart and kicked Li Lingwei away.

"Li Lingwei, this is your own fault! Who made you offend Boss Lin!"

His words were cold and ruthless, like a sharp blade piercing Li Lingwei's heart.

Li Lingwei fell to the ground, covering her face with both hands, tears pouring out like a spring.

Li Lingwei's face was full of fear and anxiety. She walked in front of Lin Yuan, bowed deeply, and begged with a trembling voice.

"Boss Lin, Xiaoshuang, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong."

She raised her head, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of pleading.

She clasped her hands together, as if looking for a sense of security.

Her body trembled slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Lin Yuan looked at her, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You know you are wrong now, what can you do? Can you take back what you said? You should learn that it is hard to take back what you have said."

"Boss Lin, I promise there won't be a next time, please forgive me!"

Lin Yuan's eyes were like ice, without a trace of warmth.

He glanced at Li Lingwei lightly, and that look seemed to say that your pleading is meaningless to me.

Seeing this, the boss immediately waved his hand to signal his men to act.

Two burly security guards came forward and stood beside Li Lingwei on the left and right.

Their eyes were indifferent, without any sympathy.

"Li Lingwei, Boss Lin has made up his mind, you should leave."

There was a trace of unquestionable determination in the boss's voice.

The security guards didn't say much, they held Li Lingwei's arms on the left and right.

Li Lingwei struggled, but her strength was so insignificant in front of the two security guards.

Her eyes were full of despair and unwillingness, but all this could not change her fate of being expelled.

Lin Yuan watched Li Lingwei being taken away, and a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and sat back in his seat, continuing to enjoy the food.

The atmosphere in the restaurant gradually returned to calm, as if the scene just now was just a small episode.

The boss walked to Lin Yuan and said with a smile on his face.

"Boss Lin, I'm sorry to scare you."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and didn't speak.

The boss didn't care and continued to talk to himself.

"I have asked the kitchen to prepare a few special dishes to calm you down."

As he said that, he waved to a waiter and whispered a few words.

The waiter nodded and left, and soon brought a plate of dishes with good color, fragrance and taste.

Lin Yuan nodded gently to express his gratitude.

He picked up the chopsticks and began to taste these special dishes.

Liu Xiaoshuang followed closely, sitting quietly next to Lin Yuan and eating carefully.

The two occasionally exchanged a few words, their voices were low and gentle, as if they were afraid to break the quiet atmosphere.

The diners around were either chatting and laughing, or lowering their heads to taste the food, and no one noticed the quiet and harmonious scene in this corner.

After Lin Yuan and Liu Xiaoshuang finished their meal, they quietly left the restaurant. Lin Yuan gave her a day off to let her have a good rest. Then the two said goodbye and Lin Yuan returned to the gold shop.

The lights in the store were soft, and the glittering gold jewelry was even more dazzling under the lights.

Lin Yuan walked into the store, and the employees greeted him one after another with respectful smiles on their faces.

He walked to a female employee who was tidying up the counter and asked softly.

"Xiaofang, let me ask you something. How is Liu Xiaoshuang's daily life? Why is she, as the store manager, still living so frugally?"

Xiaofang was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at Lin Yuan, then quickly lowered her head and said hesitantly: "Boss Lin, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing, I just see that she lives frugally. Is my salary wrong?"

Seeing this, the clerk quickly explained.

"No, it's not that Boss Lin's salary is wrong, it's because Sister Xiaoshuang..."

"What's wrong with her? If there is really a problem, tell me so that I can help her."

"Sister Xiaoshuang's father is in prison. There are only her mother and her at home. Auntie is bedridden and can't come out to work, so Sister Xiaoshuang has been struggling to support her."

"What?! Why doesn't she ever mention this kind of thing?"

"Does the poor people still need to be sympathized with their own affairs? We only found out when we went to see Sister Xiaoshuang once during the holidays, and when we went there, we heard The neighbor told me more about Sister Xiaoshuang. "

"Hmm? What happened?"

"Sister Xiaoshuang was actually admitted to a prestigious university, but someone impersonated her. She is really capable. Boss Lin, you have also seen how well she manages the store. It's a pity that her talent has nowhere to be displayed..."

"I know about this matter. Don't tell her that I came here to ask you anything. I will find a way to help her."

"Well, I hope Boss Lin can make Sister Xiaoshuang not so hard."

"Don't worry, you also work hard, and a salary increase is a matter of time."

"Well! Thank you Boss Lin."

Alas, I didn't know until I came here that Sister Xiaoshuang is such a miserable person.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Sister Xiaoshuang in the future. Besides, she is so talented, and it is really unfair for her to stay in this gold shop. If she is really amazing, it would be nice to train her to be my second-in-command.

Lin Yuan thought a lot and finally left the gold shop.

Since there was nothing to do today anyway, and his girlfriend had gone out to play with her besties, he would go to the Zhaixing Agency to take a look.

Lin Yuan's car slowly drove into the parking lot of the Zhaixing Agency. He opened the door and felt the afternoon breeze brushing his cheeks.

The sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the ground, forming mottled light and shadow.

He tidied his clothes and walked towards the company gate with a steady pace.

When he entered the company, the lady at the front desk saw him and immediately smiled respectfully and greeted him softly.

Lin Yuan nodded, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the rest area, but unexpectedly saw Gu Zhirou's figure.

She sat there, quietly flipping through a magazine, the sunlight shining through the window onto her face, outlining a soft outline for her.

Her eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through people's hearts. Noticing Lin Yuan's gaze, she raised her head and smiled at him.

"Boss Lin, why are you here?"

"Huh? Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? How do you pick stars?"
