Chapter 793: The Story of Ling and Heng (56)
However, Feng Ling usually had no concept of money. Besides, the base offered her food and shelter and she didn’t know what she could do when she left the base. Therefore, she rarely spent money and didn’t care how much she earned. She never thought about this problem.
It turned out that her money was withheld by Li Nanheng?!!
Feng Ling almost didn’t know what to say.
“Why are my mission bonuses all with you?”
Feng Ling was somewhat surprised by this matter. After all, even if she had no concept of money, she knew a bit about Li Nanheng and the Li family. Boss Li would never lack money, or to be exact, there were countless gold and silver mountains behind him. The money she earned in the last two years is just a drop in the bucket for him.
So why was her money withheld by him?
“If the money is with you and members of the base want to borrow money from you, will you borrow it?”
“Yes.”
“What if they don’t pay you back?”
“If they really can’t pay me back, it’s no problem. After all, I don’t need much money, and I can also make money from future missions.”
When Nanheng put down the newspaper and turned to look at her, he saw that the boy was looking at himself calmly. Apparently, he had no concept of money.
He put the newspaper aside, and said lightly, “From what I know of you, the money you earned in the past two years will be all borrowed by others. Han Jin had told me that every time he distributed you a bonus, he would only give a necessary portion of it to you and withhold the rest to give you in the future. However, he only has one account, so for convenience, he left your money with me. After the past two years, the money I saved for you is enough to buy a small apartment in the suburban area of Los Angeles. Before I return to the base, I bought you an apartment with a good geographical condition and a great appreciation s.p.a.ce. You have owners.h.i.+p of that apartment and can sell it at any time. It’s right near here. Would you like to take a look after buying the cell phone?”
Feng Ling had no idea that she had had her own apartment.
Nanheng glanced at him again. The boy was staring at him blankly. Apparently, he didn’t expect that he would have an apartment in just two years.
Nanheng never felt money mattered to him, but it would be better for Feng Ling, an orphan, to have Nanheng manage his money than just let him be cheated out of all his money. At least, he would have something that really belonged to him.
Feng Ling was silent for a long time. When Nanheng became impatient and picked up the newspaper again, she stood by the sofa and said softly, “Thank you, Boss.”
Nanheng raised an eyebrow and slowly smiled, but he didn’t look at her again.
At this time, the manager brought them several new cell phones that met their requirements and specially used a crystal tray with red cloth.
“Young Master Li, these are the new models that arrived this month, which fully meets the requirements you just said.” The manager walked over respectfully and said with a smile.
Nanheng glanced at those cell phones and said, “Let him choose. We’ll buy whichever he likes.”
Feng Ling didn’t plan to buy a cell phone today, but Boss Li was right. After her cell phone felt into the water, it didn’t operate as well as before, and she had used it for almost three years. Besides, this model was out of date and the phone dropped to the ground several times during her previous missions, and there were chips on its corners from b.u.mping. K had laughed at her cell phone several times and asked her why she hadn’t replaced it yet. She just said it still could be used.
But now, she suddenly saw so many new and stylish cell phones in front of her, which looked way better than her old phone.
She couldn’t help picking up one of the most pleasing to the eye, and it was just the right size in her hand. The manager affably taught her how to use it. In just a few minutes, Feng Ling decided to buy the one that she held in her hand.
“I want this one.” She asked, “Are you sure it’s waterproof?”
“Yes, I’m sure. Our department store belongs to Li family. How dare I lie in front of Young Master Li. And now that the cell phone industry is so developed, waterproof devices are a common feature. You can rest a.s.sured. As long as it’s not in deep or hot water, it won’t have any problem.”
Feng Ling nodded.
She believed the manager’s words.
Some very expensive watches also had this feature and were waterproof as long as they weren’t in hot or deep water.
“Little brother, would you like to check other models?”
“This one is good. It just fits my hand.”
Nanheng glanced at the cell phones in front of her and then at the one in her hand. “It suits you indeed.”
Hearing Young Master Li’s words, the manager quickly nodded. “Okay, then I’ll go to the storeroom to get a new one.”
After seeing Young Master Li nod, the manager turned around and hurried to the storeroom behind.
While waiting, Feng Ling was standing upright next to the sofa. Nanheng glanced at her. “You had trained for the whole afternoon. Why do you keep standing? Aren’t you tired?”
“It’s okay, I’m not tired. Don’t worry about me, Boss.”
It seemed that Feng Ling regarded himself as his bodyguard.
Nanheng suddenly took her hand, dragged her to the sofa, and made her sit next to him. Feng Ling was involuntarily busy withdrawing her hand, but Nanheng paused when he was about to let go of her hand. He looked down at her well-manicured nails and at her hands that were whiter than most men. Although she often held guns with these hands, they were still so white and tender.
Why were his hands so tender?
He had been training hard in the base for so long and his hands were still so tender?
His hand only took Feng Ling’s hand for several seconds before he let it go and asked, “Would you like to go to have a look at your apartment after buying the phone?”
Feng Ling glanced at the time: “No, since my money is with you, I am grateful and a.s.sured that you can take the time to help me take care of those things. Don’t bother to look at it. Now it’s getting dark. Let’s go back to the base after buying the phone. ”
