Chapter 59.2 “Do you want me to carry you in?”

Bai Duanduan nodded hastily, “Although these are the expenses of investigation and evidence collection, you can ask Xie Miao as a customer to pay, but I have never been to this bar. I only heard that the consumption is very expensive. I am not sure whether Xie Miao will accept the final consumption amount…”

“I’ll pay for the part that exceeds his psychological expectations.” Ji Lin looked away, “In short, you can let go of your worries and do it.”

Bai Duanduan was a little moved by Ji Lin’s performance, “You trust me so much Huh? Aren’t you afraid that I’m going to do business for my own benefit, claiming that I’m going to collect evidence, and then spend money desperately because you’re paying for it?”

“I believe you.” Ji Lin gave Bai Duanduan a look before he darted his eyes away once again, “You shouldn’t let me down.”

“Oh, I’ll go pour a glass of water.”

Almost as soon as Ji Lin finished speaking, he immediately got up and left with his glass of water, causing Bai Duanduan to be too late to remind him that his glass of water was actually still full……

The only thing was that although Ji Lin left, Bai Duanduan felt a little nervous and apprehensive and uncomfortable. Recently, when she was alone with Ji Lin, she always occasionally had this feeling of palpitations and uneasiness in her heart which made Bai Duanduan, who has always been carefree, a little at a loss.

The good news was that she soon got off work, and after greeting Ji Lin near the end of the day, she went home first. Since she was going to an upscale bar, she always had to dress up again.

Because she had gone to the bar to collect evidence, Bai Duanduan had left work early today and did not stay in the office to work overtime as usual. Ji Lin looked at her vacant desk, and felt a little unaccustomed to it.

But he was obviously not the only one who noticed Bai Duanduan’s departure, and it wasn’t long before Rong Sheng, who had just returned from a business trip for a multinational labor dispute, was shouting from the main office area—

“Where’s lawyer Bai? Where’s our little Bai? Why isn’t she here?”

When Ji Lin walked out of the office, he saw Rong Sheng, whose face was full of dust and had lost a round of weight, and when he saw Ji Lin, his eyes lit up and said, “Have you seen lawyer Bai? I asked around, but they all said they didn’t know where she had gone.”

Ji Lin avoided Rong Sheng’s hug with disgust, “What do you want with her?”

“I applied to go to her place for dinner tonight. I stayed in England for a few days, and I only ate a few Fast foods every day, except for fish and chips and burgers, there was nothing else to eat. The town I live in was a small town, and there was not even a Chinese restaurant, and it was killing my Chinese stomach. It was only by reminiscing about the table of meals that Lawyer Bai cooked in the team building that I survived, and now I don’t think about anything, just want to eat a home-cooked meal made by her to soothe my stomach.”

He said, while pulling things out of his suitcase, “I brought her a lot of gifts, come on, come on, the rest of you can also have a share……”

The few colleagues in the office area saw the accompanying gifts and cheered as they swarmed forward and began to divide them up.

Rong Sheng was still staring at Ji Lin, trying to find out where Bai Duanduan had gone.

Faced with Rong Sheng’s urgency, Ji Lin took his time, “Oh, she has a testimonial tonight, so she can’t cook for you.”

“What is the testimonial? You’re going at night? Where will you collect the evidence?”

Ji Lin was too lazy to talk to him at first but Rong Sheng was asking repeatedly, and he couldn’t stop Rong Sheng from asking, “Baidehui.”

Rong Sheng was shocked, “Badehui? The one on Jinxi Road?” He said with a condemned look, “How could you let her go to that bar alone to get evidence?”

Ji Lin frowned, “What’s wrong? Isn’t this bar just a bit more expensive? It’s not like I’m short of money to reimburse her.”

“It’s not about money!” Rong Sheng couldn’t bear it, “I have a membership to this bar, but I don’t want to go there after I’ve been there once or twice. How should I put it, it’s a place for rich men to hunt. There are a bunch of internet celebrities and models and eighteenth-tier stars plus those so-called social ‘celebrities’. The consumption is very expensive. Many men will use the excuse of ‘I will pay for you’ to strike up a conversation, and with the effect of alcohol, you know…”

But soon, Rong Sheng was relieved again and felt that he was overly worried, “But with a force value like Lawyer Bai’s, there should be no problem, instead, we should be afraid if she will be drunk and be violent to others…..”

Rong Sheng saw that there was no way to find Bai Duanduan to dine tonight, and quickly also changed the subject, “Then Ji Lin, let’s go out for a meal tonight? Find a private food restaurant?”

Unfortunately, Ji Lin did not have much love for his colleagues, he said succinctly, “No.”

“Why? You have something tonight?”

“Yeah.” Ji Lin pursed his lips, “Bring me your membership card for Baidehui.”

Rong Sheng: “?”

The first time Bai Duanduan entered this “money cave” of Baidehui, even though she had already warned herself to look calm and relaxed, she was still a bit amazed. In this high-end club, money seemed to be just a string of symbols. Tang Li quickly introduced herself to her internet celebrity sisters. After a few chats, Tang Li opened the wine and from the menu brought up by the waiter that there was no such thing as cheap food in this place, and probably the air you breathe here was a little more expensive than outside.

“Wow, little sa, this dress you’re wearing, is it the new one from VALENTINO’s show this spring/summer?”

“Yes.”

“It’s beautiful!”

“Your dress is beautiful too Ruo Ruo, I think it’s high fashion, right?”

“Yes, you have a good eye. My boyfriend specially helped me to contact the high luxury shop in Paris to rush to work overnight on the high fashion. Next time the designer invites me to go, I will also live broadcast the whole process, and may also communicate with the designer there to produce a joint model of mine.”

…..

This group of internet celebrities gathered together, discussing nothing but bags, clothes and shoes and again you praise me and I praise you. All kinds of business blowing each other all over the place, showing off with a tint of jealousy mixed in. Saying that they are good sisters, but in fact, it is just a plastic friendship of competing with each other.

“Right, Pear, have you found out about the limited edition Gucci sneakers I’ve been eyeing? Are they in stock at that reseller of yours?”

Bai Duanduan sat for a while listening to their conversation in a cool and dignified manner, finally waiting for a topic she could insert at the right time. She put down her glass of red wine, “Which one is it?”I know a SA(shop assistant) from the Gucci Florence store. The person is very reliable and local in Italy. Whenever I’ve looked at a model before and photographed it to her, she’s been able to get it done for me and flown it straight back from Italy.”

“Really?! That …… then is it okay if I send you the photos? Can you ask for me Xiao Rui?”

Bai Duanduan nodded haughtily.

With this start, the rest of Tang Li’s internet celebrity sisters couldn’t help themselves and added WeChat with Bai Duanduan, and one after another, they quickly started discussing luxury goods.

“Really?! Then… then can I send you the photos? Xiao Rui, can you ask for me?”

Bai Duanduan nodded reservedly.

Bai Duanduan is a keen shopper and has developed a good taste in fashion with her money, a hobby that has always been criticized by her friends and family. Although Bai Duanduan keeps saying that she should “spend money when she has money”, even she knows that this desire for shopping is actually very sickly and stems from the repression she has suffered and is unhealthy, but she has never been able to change it. By giving them a few tips on how to dress, Bai Duanduan quickly captured their hearts.

When Bai Duanduan showed them her “collection”, the girls were really blown away.

“Xiao Rui, you have all kinds of limited edition items!”

“Xiao Rui’s cloakroom is like a miracle cloakroom, it’s exactly what I want to have!”

“Xiao Rui you must have a mine at home ……”
