I Gave Birth to a Cub without Telling the Head Assistant - Chapter 10.1

Chapter 10.1

“Master Wang, did you come to pay my money?”

Hearing Ruan Longling’s question, Li Zhulin thought. ‘Why is she only interested in money? It seems like she only cares about money and nothing else in life.’

Li Zhulin remembered that every time he saw her, she was always focused on money.

‘The first time I saw her, she was going to Liu’s house to get money that was owed to her.

When we met again, she increased the price by ten times.

The third time we saw each other, in front of Liu Chengji, she calculated all the money she had spent on Liu Chengji’s education and studying throughout the years.

Now, it’s the fourth time, and she still asks about money.’

Li Zhulin felt like he was hearing the word “money” a lot more after meeting her than in his whole life.

The Li family was very rich and powerful. It was not exaggerated to say that they even have valuable jades and gold similar to those in the palace in their family.

The little bits that leaked out from Li Zhulin’s fingertips were all the wealth that ordinary people could only hope to achieve! Some of the people he grew up with since he was young were not enterprising, some were mediocre, and some were dandy and rude, but they were never short of money.

As he had been born and raised among the highest nobles in the country, he had seen a lot of women who grew up in rich families. But he had never heard them mention the word “money,” just like Ruan Longling.

The woman in front of him was really the most uncultured and rude person Li Zhulin had ever seen. And if he hadn’t been in a hurry, he wouldn’t have gotten mixed up with a small businesswoman over money.

Li Zhulin came to visit to get his handkerchief back, but since she suddenly asked about money, he had to deal with this matter properly.

He made a little frown and tilted his head a little bit. Yunfeng received the signal and quickly came forward. He handed over the money he had prepared and placed it on the table in front of them.

“Boss Ruan, this is a 30,000-tael silver note. Please make sure to look at it carefully.”

Ruan Longling hurriedly took the silver note and started to check it thoroughly.

Li Zhulin’s eyes lit up; he couldn’t stop smiling when he saw the woman in front of him holding the silver note. ‘Is there something to check?’

Three banknotes worth 30,000 taels in total. She could see it crystal clear. However, she also held the banknote up to her eyes and looked at it carefully. Her eyes were wide open with astonishment.

‘Is it possible that I, the chief minister, still use fake money? It’s only thirty thousand taels; why does she care so much?’ Li Zhulin, who was usually calm and didn’t show much emotion, felt a little dizzy when he saw how obsessed someone was with money. He suddenly removed the wooden token given to him by Ruan Longling. “I remembered that the boss Ruan said if I show this wooden sign at Ruan’s store, I can get a 20% discount right away. Can we get a 20% discount on these 30,000 taels?”

Ruan Longling looked a little surprised for a moment and then quickly looked sly. She lifted her hand and used two fingers to move the wooden sign on the table. “I don’t think the young master has ever really looked at this wooden token. There is also a line of small words written on the back of the wooden token, except for credit.”

Ruan Longling smiled happily and with a little bit of pride in her eyes. “The young master still needs to pay for his room on credit; there have been too many days, so the wooden order is no longer valid.”

Li Zhulin didn’t usually worry much about money, but this made him upset. It wasn’t the money that bothered him, but he felt disrespected and wanted to retaliate without even thinking about it.

“Boss Ruan, I’ve helped you many times, but can’t you give me a small favour in return?” Li Zhulin was shocked when he heard himself speak these words.

He asked for a discount, which had not happened before. Or maybe after seeing the businesswoman a few more times, it was likely he would start thinking more about money?

However, these words made Ruan Longling feel really ashamed.

‘Yes, even though he seemed unfriendly when he talked, he really helped me a lot. If he hadn’t stopped me last time, Liu Chengji might have slapped me, but he also showed me how to defend myself. By the way, I should thank him.’ Ruan Longling pondered for a while. ‘I can use a full six thousand words to say thank you… It’s actually a bit too much.

“The rules of the world cannot be broken, so how about a 10% discount? What do you think?” After saying that, Ruan Longling slowly got up and left the room while handing over the money to a maid.

‘Is this even a thank you?’ So the dignified chief minister condescended to be lowered, sacrificed his face, and only paid back the price of three thousand taels? Li Zhulin’s face darkened instantly.

Ruan Longling had always been very good at watching and understanding the feelings of people in front of her, ever since she was a little girl. ‘Is he not happy? Okay, 3,000 taels seems to be too little. He is an important guest and should not be easily upset.’

“Three thousand taels are not enough to repay Mr. Wang for his help. If Mr. Wang is willing to show his face, Linglong will host a banquet to entertain Mr. Wang. How about it?”

Normal women wouldn’t want to go out to eat with a man by themselves. Yes, but Ruan Longling would have to meet and talk with businessmen at the mall, so the restrictions on normal women don’t apply to her anymore.

Actually, she said this because she was thinking about herself. At first sight, she could tell that Wang Chulin had a strict upbringing, was well-behaved, and did not like being around women too much. It was thought that he wouldn’t want to go to the banquet, so it saved a lot of problems. Get into a difficult situation.

[Tl: I think you can remember that Li Zhulin said to Ruan Longling that his name is Wang Chulin.]

Actually, Li Zhulin didn’t want to have anything to do with Ruan Longling anymore. He was going to say no, but he saw that she was trying to persuade him and agreed for the first time.

“It’s only a fancy dinner; why not give it a try? Can you pick the place for the party? It’s my only request.”

Ruan Longling never thought that he would agree, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face, but this reward banquet She should have deserved it, so she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

“It’s your choice. In addition, there is also a silk handkerchief left by the young master. I always wanted to give it back to the young master, but I have been busy and forgot about it. Now, let’s pass it around at the party.”

She was nice and knew she should return the scarf to the man in private.

Li Zhulin pondered with a frown, then got up and nodded his head. He looked back and left.

Have a nice day!
