Chapter 170: 170, please treat us to a bowl of noodles Chapter 170: 170, please treat us to a bowl of noodles Ling Yu shivered involuntarily at the memory of Qin Yushen’s stern face, “Boss, please don’t tell Mr. Qin, I promise I won’t make such careless remarks anymore. Whatever you want me to do, just say it, I’ll definitely bow and spare no effort till my dying breath.” Mr. Qin’s jealousy was not something he could handle.
Song Yan Ning’s lips curved slightly, picking up a fry and putting it into her mouth, “The investigation I asked you to carry out, why are there still no results?” Given Ling Yu’s computer skills, it shouldn’t have taken this long.
“Boss, that company also has an expert. I’ve clashed with him several times, and every time we were evenly matched.” Ling Yu felt quite frustrated thinking about this; he was one of the top hackers, and there was almost nothing he couldn’t handle. Of course, he admitted he was no match for the boss and Mr. Qin, those freaks; a normal person like him couldn’t compare. But he hadn’t met anyone else who could challenge him.
“Oh?” A hint of surprise flickered in Song Yan Ning’s eyes. She was aware of Ling Yu’s computer proficiency, and it was indeed rare to find someone who could match him.
“Don’t worry, boss, I’ll get it sorted out as soon as possible.” Ling Yu patted his chest and assured her. He was always more motivated by setbacks; the stronger the opponent, the more it spurred his fighting spirit.
Song Yan Ning nodded, picking up a napkin from beside her to wipe her mouth and hands, “Let’s go.” She had told her grandparents she would come home early today, as it was her grandmother’s birthday. Aside from meeting Ling Yu and Gu Kai, her main purpose was to pick up the birthday cake she had ordered. She hadn’t told her grandmother about the cake; she planned to give her a surprise when she returned.
After parting with Ling Yu and Guo Kai, Song Yan Ning arrived at the cake shop and handed the pickup slip to the staff member, “Could you please check if my cake is ready?”
The staff member took the pickup slip, glanced at it, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go check.”
The staff member entered the cake-making area in the back. A short while later, she returned carrying a cake, smiling as she handed it to Song Yan Ning, “Here’s your cake.” This young girl was truly beautiful; if she became a celebrity, she would definitely become incredibly famous.
“Thank you!” Song Yan Ning took the cake and walked out of the shop. She went back to her natural look because it made her feel comfortable; after all, nobody likes to look ugly. Though becoming prettier attracted some trouble, it didn’t have much impact on her. Moreover, her grandparents were happy to see her becoming prettier day by day.
Song Yan Ning, holding the cake, arrived at the bus station and had just settled in when an elderly couple squeezed up next to her.
“Miss, someone stole our money, and my husband and I are really hungry, could you please buy us something to eat?” The old lady, rubbing her stomach, looked pitifully at Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning pulled out a hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it over, “Here, take this money and find somewhere to eat.”
“No! No! No! I can’t take your money, just treat us to a bowl of noodles, there’s a noodle shop right over there, I just checked, and it’s very cheap,” the old lady pointed ahead.
“I don’t have time to accompany you, take the money and go eat, any extra is yours.” Although Song Yan Ning looked young, she wasn’t a naïve child who didn’t understand anything. They wanted to lure her to a secluded place and take her away; how could she not be aware of that?
The old lady and the old man exchanged a glance, “Miss, we really don’t want the money, your parents work hard for it, just treat us to a bowl of noodles.”
