Run Away from My Honey a Thousand Times - Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Madam Ling In Turmoil
Mu Tong raised his eyebrows and asked mysteriously as he saw that the middle-level managers’ expressions were not too good, leaning closer to Wen Ai’er.

“What’s wrong? The atmosphere in the company seems to be particularly heavy today?”

Wen Ai’er did not dare to speak too loudly. She cautiously told her, “I heard that there is something wrong with the company’s products. It is that they have already been sold. The very popular blonde hair crystals of the ‘Golden Silk Language’ series on the market have been exploded with fakes.”

Mu Tong was shocked. Didn’t she already tell Ling Yue about this? How could he not deal with it?

Wen Ai’er did not notice her strange expression and silently sighed, “I bought one myself and even helped a few friends get it. Although 5000 bracelets are not too expensive, this kind of thing actually happened at Madam Ling’s. I heard that the top board of directors received news last night and just started the third round of the meeting.”

Mu Xiaotong calmly chatted with her for a while before returning to her seat. She immediately took out her phone and called Ling Yue.

“Don’t worry about it? Just go to work normally.” His tone was very calm, as if he had expected it.

Mu Tong had an ominous premonition and guessed, “You released this news. You knew there was something wrong with this shipment, but you didn’t stop it. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

What does he want? If something happened to Madam Ling, it wouldn’t be good for him, would it?

“In a few days, you won’t have to complain about being a little apprentice anymore.” He said meaningfully, then said he was busy and hung up the phone.

What do you mean? You don’t need to be an apprentice to Madam Ling in a few days?

She frowned, a little confused. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Manager Zhu rushing in. Her complexion was not very good, as if she had been scolded and was on the verge of crying.

The atmosphere in the office room became even more stifling. Mu Tong didn’t say anything else, just like she didn’t know anything about it, silently doing her usual work.

“I heard Manager Zhu resigned?” During the lunch break, everyone seemed to be unable to hold back any longer as they held a discussion meeting.

“I didn’t resign, but I was fired. Furthermore, I was suspected of intentionally protecting the original manufacturer of the ‘Golden Silk Language’ series of products.” Another person said loudly.

“No way, she’s so unlucky.”

“It’s not just her. All the designers involved in the ‘Golden Silk Language’ series, especially the product quality inspectors, have been sent to the police station for investigation. Fortunately, we are just apprentices, so it has nothing to do with us.”

“I heard that the production department and the marketing department have also been involved.”

“In short, Madam Ling is unselfish. She didn’t let go of any mistakes. She must find the culprit.”

They were still discussing. Mu Tong quickly opened the web page. What she wanted to know the most was how the Ling Corporation’s public relations department handled this matter and how to explain it to the consumers.

The sale of counterfeit goods by Ling shi was featured in the headlines of major media websites, and many netizens said it was unsettling that a large group like Ling shi also had such problems.

However, people from Ling’s public relations department also immediately apologized, saying that as long as consumers held invoices, the transaction list could be returned at the relevant counter without returning the money. At the same time, the higher-ups of the Ling clan had already spoken and handed the matter over to the public security bureau, so they would definitely give everyone an explanation.

Fortunately, at least the people from the public relations department were quick to report and react quickly. Otherwise, they would definitely be scolded to death.

However, why did Ling Yue do this on purpose? Did he want to damage the reputation of the Ling Clan?

As soon as he returned to Lings, he met Ling Ziyao at the gate. Mu Tong took the initiative to ask him about the situation.

“Are you alright? How is the company now?”

“Don’t worry, the people in the public relations department have already done a lot of paperwork to compensate consumers. It’s good to wait for the police to catch them now. This matter won’t affect Madam Ling. After all, jewelry is not Madam Ling’s main industry.”

Mu Tong hesitated. She wanted to say that she knew who was the main culprit in this incident, but she could not speak like this. Otherwise, they would definitely suspect why she did not report the matter.

Ling Ziyao did not care about her expression. He smiled at her and reached out to rub her hair. She snorted and ignored him. As for Ling Ziyao, he seemed to be very busy and hurriedly went out again.

She suddenly turned to look at him, his back full of tiredness.

Compared to Ling Ziyao, who was gentle and handsome when he was a university professor, he was even more calm now. She thought that perhaps the huge company was pressing down on him.

Actually, being the general manager of Ling shi was not simple either.

Although Mu Xiaotong did not go to the Ling Clan’s main residence, she knew that the situation was not good when she saw the expressions on Shen Feng and Qin Yu’s faces. He walked all the way to Dongyu Wan’s bedroom, only to see Ling Yue’s relaxed expression, lazily holding his chin with one hand and playing chess by himself.

“I think the whole of Lings will be free for you.” She closed the door and couldn’t help but hurt him.

This person’s limbs were perfect, and he was too lazy to die.

He put down a black chess piece and slowly turned his head to look at her. “Mu Tong, don’t you remember that I’m an idiot? Of course an idiot is happy and relaxed.”

Hearing his voice, which seemed to be in a good mood, Mu Tong immediately moved closer to him and asked with a burning gaze, “Tell me, why are you doing this?”

Ling Yue turned around and continued to play chess with him. He answered her slowly, “Didn’t you complain about your low status in Madam Ling all day long? A week later, you will rise to your peak. You will be able to satisfy your vanity. Remember to thank me at that time.”

She glanced at him and was somewhat dissatisfied. “Mysteriously, it definitely wasn’t a good thing.”

He seemed to have finally eaten all the white chess pieces. The king holding the white chess pieces turned around and stuffed it into her hand. He pinched the tip of her nose and said meaningfully, “I just took back my own things. Some things have dragged on for too long. I have no patience anymore.”

Mu Xiaotong looked at the white king in her hand and immediately understood what he was doing. “However, why did you do this? You are already the biggest shareholder of the Ling family. You can just directly tell the Ling family that you are not sick. Why …”

He stretched out his hand and combed her long hair with his teeth. Instead of answering her question, he said inexplicably, “Don’t let anyone get so close to you. I don’t like it.”

She was a little stunned. Did he see Ling Ziyao tease her just now? Ling Ziyao had just messed up her hair at the Lings Gate, but she didn’t mind. In the past, when they were teachers and students, they often played pranks on each other like this.

He seems to know everything. This thought flashed through Mu Tong’s mind, causing her heart to tremble. She felt that he was very terrifying.

Suddenly, Qin Yu knocked on the door and told her to go with Ling Yue to Old Master Ling’s place. Said the old man had something to ask them.

Mu Tong was a little surprised. She had only seen that old man once. He was a tough and talkative old man, and Mu Tong liked him quite a bit.

The two of them walked all the way to the old man’s resting place. Mu Tong asked him curiously, “Do you know why Old Master is looking for us?”

Ling Yue did not answer her, but his expression was not very good.

Mu Tong stared at him for a while. She guessed that perhaps he was afraid that someone would see him not pretending to be stupid, but at this moment, he seemed to be in a more conflicted mood.

Ling Yue had the best relationship with Old Master Ling. She had heard this guy say something about the old man. If it was someone he didn’t like, he wouldn’t even bother to mention it.

“Tongtong, have you eaten yet?” The old man immediately smiled when he saw them enter the room.

Mu Tong also laughed, “We have already eaten.”

The old man’s face suddenly stinked and he snorted. He seemed to have turned around somewhat angrily.

Mu Xiaotong was unable to react. What was the situation? This old man was as sinister as Ling Yue. It really was the grandfather and grandson, both of them had strange temperaments.

Shen Feng walked in and saw Old Master Ling’s stinking face. He smiled and said to Mu Tong, “Third Young Madam, Old Master has been waiting for you to eat.”

So that’s the case, but he didn’t tell them in advance. Isn’t it too awkward for this old man to be angry?

“What? Normally, you don’t know how to come and see me when you’re free. Now it’s so hard for you to accompany me to dinner. It’s all heartless stuff.”

Mu Xiaotong pinched her belly and immediately said, “Actually, I wasn’t full just now.”

The old man looked at her and immediately changed his face. He smiled and said, “Serve the food.”

Mu Tong couldn’t help but step on the dazed Ling Yue beside him. Damn, look at your grandfather’s character!

Mu Tong respected his elders very much and pretended to be very hungry. He held on to his last mouthful of soup and weakly collapsed on the sofa. “I can’t do it anymore.”

Ling Yue took the opportunity to give her an idiotic look. Not long after, the old man pulled Ling Yue and asked him to play chess with him. Fortunately, Mu Tong did not understand this. Otherwise, she felt that she would be unlucky again.

Mu Xiaotong leaned against the sofa, rubbing her belly as she looked at them.

Ling Yue was always expressionless on the iceberg, while the old man’s face was dark. She guessed that Ling Yue was unwilling to let go of the water and had eaten a lot of his chess pieces.

Finally, she heard the old man say in a heavy voice, “Do you really have to do this?”

It was probably because his voice was too heavy that Mu Tong heard something strange. She suddenly sat up straight and looked at them.

The entire board was filled with black chess, and even the last white chess piece had been taken away by Ling Yue.

Although she didn’t understand chess, there wasn’t a single white chess piece left. Moreover, Ling Yue actually had such a majestic black chess lineup on his side. It was likely that he had killed the old man too ferociously.

Sure enough, the old man immediately picked up his walking stick and knocked on Ling Yue’s head without hesitation, threatening, “You unfilial descendant, even your wife knows how to respect your elders. You actually killed me so mercilessly and didn’t give me any face. Humph! See if I don’t knock you to death!”

As he spoke, he knocked on him again. Ling Yue was actually sitting there dumbfounded, allowing him to beat him and scold him.

This kind of situation seemed to be very ordinary. Shen Feng also felt that it was no wonder. Anyway, the old man was pulling the Third Young Master to play chess. Every time he lost, he would cheat and beat people up.

However, Mu Tong glanced at them. She felt that the old man was really angry. He seemed to be really angry, as if Ling Yue had done something wrong, but she could not help but stop him.

‘”Could it be related to Madam Ling” she murmured to herself.
