'ring...ring...ring'
The ringing sound came from Mr. Fang's phone during a short scolding section.
Apparently this was what saved the sorry-looking young man in a work suit.
The young man got scolded for submitting a wrong proposal to Mr. Fang. He had unknowingly picked the wrong file and brought it over.
Luckily, when he felt the last sentence from Mr. Fang was going to get him fired, the ringing sound from his phone saved his life.
With a stoic expression on his face, Mr. Fang glanced at his phone screen before shifting his gaze back to the young man while picking up the phone from his desk.
"Get out!" He commanded in a calm tone.
The young man pushed back the frame of his glasses to the bridge of his nose after bowing, and then dashed out of his office frantically.
As soon as he left, Mr. Fang answered the call.
"Tell me there is an emergency for calling in the middle of work," Mr. Fang said immediately he answered the call.
Chuanli laughed sheepishly. "Actually there is an emergency. If you didn't make me call you, I wouldn't have bothered to call you during work hours."
"Are you calling because of the form you asked my employee to fill?"
Mr. Fang had already guessed the reason he was calling and just asked about it directly without waiting for him to say it.
Chuanli hit his desk with a smile, "You are on point. You just called Miss Zhang your employee, do you accept her now?"
Mr. Fang ignored him and went back to the main point. "I will drop by your office after work today." After responding, he ended the call without waiting for a response, which surprised Chuanli.
"Yah! I called you with my call card, why do you always leave me without honour?!" Chuanli lamented with a bitter expression on his face while gazing at his phone screen.
At last he sighed and dumped his phone on his desk. The only reason he wouldn't pick up a fight with his patient (as if he would dare to do that with Mr. Fang), it's because he would finally get his hands on Zhang Liling's information.
Work hours would end in the next 2 hours. What was 2 hours that he couldn't wait? He would have patience because Mr. Fang was known for keeping to his words.
Who knew that Zhang Liling would cause trouble within 2 hours that would require Mr. Fang to go over directly?
After classes that day, Zhang Liling left school for a high-end store. She learned that an international brand FJ based and originated from Country C, released a new handbag, and that a particular store managed to ship it in, and there were only two of it.
Knowing how reputable FJ brand was, Zhang Liling knew that it would not be long before that bag gets out of stock, so she had to leave Tungmei to go shopping.
"Do you have to get that bag?" Tungmei asked.
"My dear friend, it's not a must, but I must get it." Zhang Liling replied with a smile.
Tungmei didn't look too happy because that bag was quite expensive, and she wondered how she would continue to feed if she spent most of her money to acquire one bag.
"Which special occasion do you want to wear that bag to? I bet there is none,"
"Our graduation is the perfect day to wear such a luxury. Don't worry about my money because I have none yet. My mum will not hesitate to give me money. Just check it out, when last did I spend money on shopping? It was definitely not this year." Zhang Liling said with a sigh.
She knew her friend was worried about her, and had to convince her.
Tungmei's facial expression softened a bit. She could remember how much Zhang Liling has suffered in the past and decided to let it slide.
"I remember you mother sent you money last year's new year. Anyway, let's not talk about it. You can go for shopping, but remember not to be tempted in that store and end up buying the whole shop." Tungmei joked.
Zhang Liling chuckled a bit, "I wish I could do that and then force my father to pay for it."
"I bet your stepmother would take this as an opportunity to speak ill of you." Tungmei added.
The girls chuckled before Zhang Liling spoke. "Do you want to come with me?"
"No, thank you! I need to speak with my father soon. I need money for this month's expenses." Tungmei replied with a sigh.
"Alright, I will go ahead."
Zhang Liling and Tungmei parted ways without knowing that one of Shu Rushi's underling's heard most of their conversation, mostly from the time she started talking about the latest collection from FJ.
Immediately they left, the girl picked up her phone and immediately dialled Shu Rushi's contact and made a report.
"Rushi, Zhang Liling has eyes on that bag you want to wear for that party you are going to with your father by next weekend."
"What?! How dare her have eyes on the things that belong to me?" Shu Rushi was almost going crazy to hear about Zhang Liling's intentions on the bag she was planning to get the next day.
The girl noticed that she was already riled up and hurried up to tell her the main point. "Rushi, Zhang Liling just left for the store. She is determined to get the bag today. If you still want that bag, you have to hurry to the store immediately!"
Shu Rushi was even more angry when she learned that Zhang Liling had already left for the only high-end store in the City that had that had her latest favourite.
Someone that was on her way home, hurriedly asked the driver to turn around.
"Yah! Turn the car around right away!" She commanded.
"But Miss, we are already nearing the street of your house, I can't take you back or I will be in trouble as Madam is expecting you." The driver said.
"You fool!" Shu Rushi said and picked up her bag to whack him on the head.
