Chapter 113 Bleeding Heavily

"Put this magnolia embroidery away properly; I want to take it back to Hangzhou."

Back in the presidential suite, Ling Yue pointed to the box in Zang Lanyi's arms and said to Qu Shu.

Qu Shu took the box and went to store it in the suite's study.

The shelves in the study were filled with various items, all trinkets Ling Yue had bought at the night market. In the corner, there were also several large boxes, all of which Ling Yue intended to bring back to Hangzhou.

Ling Yue had only just rested for a moment when Huang Qianhua called.

She and Mother Jiang were planning to establish a limited liability company.

In her tone, there was full bewilderment about dealing with company formation for the first time.

Ling Yue wanted to help, but Qian Xu was still busy with the house transfer and couldn't spare the time.

So, she had Qian Xu introduce a lawyer friend in Suzhou and recommended the contact card to Li Hua.

Ling Yue paid a high fee, and subsequently, matters including contract signing and finding an agency management team would all be assisted by that lawyer.

Company registration would take at least half a month at the fastest.

Ling Yue planned to stay in Suzhou and only leave after the company registration was successful.

Early in the morning.

Just at seven o'clock, Ling Yue's biological clock woke her up right on time.

She had arranged to go sightseeing in the ancient town with Song Xinyao.

So she didn't linger in bed.

Luo Shanshan had prepared breakfast: pancakes, a fresh berry platter, boiled eggs, and a glass of vegetable juice.

While Ling Yue was eating, Xie Minmin had already brought over an outfit she had put together.

It was the white-gold silk cheongsam with gold floral branch patterns that they had bought at the Weihe Cheongsam Shop.

"The outdoor temperature today is 18 degrees, and it's a clear day.

I recommend this cheongsam for your outing to the ancient town.

It's colder in the morning and evening, so I've prepared a beige cashmere shawl as an outer layer. From noon to afternoon, the temperature will be comfortable, so you can wear the matching silk cape.

The shawl is relaxed and casual, while the cape is graceful and elegant; you can switch styles as you please."

Ling Yue looked at it and thought it was nice, nodding as she said, "OK.

Has Master Qin gone to pick up Song Xinyao?"

"He has already gone." Qu Shu's voice came from behind her.

She had just finished tidying up Ling Yue's bed.

"Then let's start getting dressed and putting on makeup." Ling Yue put down her cup. There were still a few sips of vegetable juice left, but she really couldn't drink any more.

Luo Shanshan cleared away the tableware.

Hu Liyun prepared the skincare routine before makeup.

Just as the base makeup was applied, Master Qin arrived at the hotel with Song Xinyao.

"Oh my god!"

"Goodness gracious!"

The moment she arrived, the quiet room felt as if two ducks had burst in.

One going quack-quack-quack, the other going honk-honk-honk.

She came to the walk-in closet and saw rows upon rows of coordinated outfits.

She experienced the feeling of being dazzled by the sheer variety of beautiful things.

She was then left speechless, stunned by the oversized bathroom with its 180-degree view.

"Forty-eight thousand!" Song Xinyao walked out, holding her phone. "This suite costs forty-eight thousand a night?

How did I not know there were such expensive hotel suites in Suzhou?"

The person in the mirror nearly dropped her jaw.

Ling Yue looked into the mirror and asked, "Stop running around. Do you want to get your makeup done, too?

Since we'll be taking pictures later, I have an expert photographer here."

"Yes, yes, yes!!" Song Xinyao raised both hands high.

She had gotten up at seven-thirty.

It took her 28 minutes to wash her face, get dressed, and eat breakfast, so she didn't have time to put on makeup and had to go bare-faced.

Anyway, the Jiangnan water towns were part of her daily life; she was already immune to the scenery of the ancient towns and didn't need to take photos or anything.

However.

Why not take advantage of free makeup?

Ling Yue said to Xie Minmin, "You and Guaner take my friend to the walk-in closet to pick out some clothes."

While on duty, Xie Minmin maintained a composed demeanor. "This way, Miss, please."

"Oh, you don't need to call me Miss. My name is Song Xinyao."

"Very well, Miss Song."

Song Xinyao felt like she had her clothes on backward; she felt completely uncomfortable. "Just call me Xinyao. We'll be colleagues in the future anyway."

"Colleagues?" A small question mark appeared over Xie Minmin's head.

Weren't they college roommates?

How did they become colleagues?

Since she hadn't traveled with the boss yesterday, she was out of the loop!

Asking around was out of the question. The Miss had said so, and it was even written in the employee handbook: one must keep the employer's privacy absolutely confidential and is not allowed to discuss it in private.

She certainly didn't want to be fired for doing the wrong thing.

Song Xinyao had the look of a girl-next-door and was similar in height and build to Ling Yue. Once she put on the rich-girl-style outfits from the closet, she turned into an adorable bunny.

Cute makeup was Da Fei's specialty; applying it was as simple as eating or drinking water for him, and Song Xinyao's makeup was finished almost at the same time as Ling Yue's.

Ling Yue looked fresh and refined, while Song Xinyao looked cute and lively.

"I've shocked myself with my own beauty!" Song Xinyao spun around in front of the full-length mirror. "As expected, a makeup artist's hands can reshape a face. Is this really me?

The makeup isn't even heavy, yet my face looks so dimensional.

Just one word: beautiful!"

Da Fei, having received the compliment, smiled shyly.

Suddenly, he remembered the master saying he would have bad romantic luck this year, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Can't see me... Can't see me...

Guaner shot Da Fei a look of disdain, walked past him, and pushed the cart filled with accessories over to Ling Yue.

Some of them were brought from Hangzhou, but many more had been bought at the night market. There were many accessories with traditional Chinese elements that matched today's cheongsam better.

Ling Yue selected a pair of bamboo leaf stud earrings and a white jade bangle.

Both pieces of jewelry had been bought at the night market.

The earrings were quite unique, but the bangle was a bit lacking.

Ling Yue took the bangle off, thinking that since she had already bought the cheongsam, not buying some jade to go with it would be a total waste of such a beautiful outfit.

Once things in Suzhou were wrapped up, she would have to put buying jade on her schedule. She hadn't spent big money in a long time, and her hands were itching for it.

On the way to the ancient town.

Today was for sightseeing, and almost everyone was going out, except for Cheng Jiao and Qian Xu.

"I stayed up all night making a plan, and I guarantee you'll have a great time today!" Song Xinyao took out her phone, opened her notes, and read from them: "First, we'll go to the Three Bridges and the Songshi Wuyuan Garden to take photos and check in. Then we'll go for lunch. I've booked a restaurant; the first floor is by the water, and we can even hire an old master to sit in a black-awning boat and play music. Eating while listening to music—it's so stylish!"

"In the afternoon, we'll go to the cultural and creative shops, and then go to a milk tea shop to sit and chat for a while..."

Song Xinyao said a lot, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

Actually, her heart was aching a little bit.

That restaurant was quite expensive.

You could only book the old master to play music if you sat in a private room, and a one-hour performance cost 2,000.

A single meal would cost at least three thousand.

But since it wasn't being spent on a stranger, even if it did hurt her wallet a little, Song Xinyao quickly let it go.

Ling Yue didn't know yet that someone was planning to splurge heavily.

She happily toured the ancient town under Song Xinyao's guidance.

During this time, Cheng Jiao called to say she wanted to pay for the manor.

At that moment, Ling Yue was dining in a private room.

Everyone was captivated by the performance outside the window.

Ling Yue pulled up the lucky draw panel, spent half a second clicking to draw, and obtained [2x Cashback].

Fifteen minutes passed.

The phone screen on the table lit up.

Ling Yue took a quick glance.
