My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 237: 237, you are the Boss Chapter 237: 237, you are the Boss Li Meixiang sighed in relief upon hearing the news, “Xiang didn’t even tell me herself.” Although Xiang was a quiet person, Li Meixiang always felt something was missing when she wasn’t around. Perhaps it was due to years of habit.

“Xiang left in a hurry and didn’t have time to mention it, grandma. The day after tomorrow, I need to go out too,” Song Yan Ning said as she led Li Meixiang to sit down under a parasol tree.

“Going out again? How long will this trip be?” Yang Lisheng asked as he came out of the house just in time to hear Song Yan Ning’s words.

“Grandpa, come and sit,” Song Yan Ning said with a smile, gesturing for Yang Lisheng to join them.

“Xiao Ning, are you going out alone this time?” Li Meixiang asked worriedly as she looked at Song Yan Ning.

Song Yan Ning shook her head with a smile, “I’m going out with Aunt Qin this time. She has a conference abroad and is taking me and Qin Yushen along for a trip overseas.”

Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng both breathed a sigh of relief. They were well acquainted with Xiao Yue, and her presence reassured them.

“Won’t it be troublesome for Xiao Yue?” Li Meixiang asked. After all, Xiao Yue was there for a conference and had to look after two teenagers; Li Meixiang was unsure whether it would affect her.

Song Yan Ning shook her head, “Aunt Qin said the conference won’t take long, and once it’s over, she’ll take me and Qin Yushen around to explore.” No matter how capable she was, in her grandparents’ eyes she was still a child who wished to grow up quickly.

“Mhm.” Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng nodded.

After eating breakfast, Song Yan Ning took a car to Wangjing Street, the busiest commercial district in Beijing.

She walked into a jewelry store, where she and Liu Xin had agreed to meet today. Over the years, Liu Xin’s jewelry business had been thriving, naturally increasing her income.

The sales associates in the store were cleaning the counters and ignored Song Yan Ning as she entered. They saw no benefit in attending to a child who couldn’t afford any jewelry here.

In Beijing, their jewelry store was among the highest in class; even a single piece of jewelry could cost thousands or tens of thousands.

“Young lady, are you here alone?” The manager came forward and asked as Song Yan Ning settled down in the store’s resting area. The young girl was strikingly beautiful, garnering immediate sympathy from onlookers.

Song Yan Ning nodded, “I’m waiting for someone, you don’t need to attend to me.” She had arranged to meet Liu Xin at ten, and with ten minutes still to go, he should be arriving soon.

“Then let me get you a glass of water,” the manager offered, picking up a disposable cup and filling it with water for Song Yan Ning.

“Thank you!” Song Yan Ning smiled as she took the cup.

The manager chuckled, shaking her head, “No worries. I’ll be busy, but if you need something, just find me.” She really liked this young girl and wondered who she was waiting for.

At that moment, two men walked in and scanned the surroundings.

One of the men quickly turned and locked the door behind them. They had scoped out the place several times; at this time of day, the store was usually at its least crowded, but they needed to act quickly and finish their plan within five minutes.

“What are you doing?” the manager panicked as she realized the men’s intent. The store had security guards, but they had already been locked outside by the men. Even if she called the police now, it would take about five minutes for them to arrive. All she could do was try to stall.

“What do you think we’re doing? Hurry up, don’t waste our time, or we won’t be nice,” one of the men said as he already had a weapon out.

The employees, pale with fright, crouched and covered their heads.

The other man quickly walked up to the counter, pulled out a hammer, and prepared to smash it.

“This is illegal, stop it!” the manager anxiously rushed forward. She had only seen such scenes on TV and never imagined experiencing it herself.

Song Yan Ning grabbed the manager’s hand and flicked her fingers lightly.

The manager withdrew her hand and turned to look at Song Yan Ning, “You hide first.” Knowing the young girl must be scared, she pulled her along. In truth, she was scared too and unsure how to handle the situation next since it was her first encounter with such a circumstance.

“It’s okay now, go open the door,” Song Yan Ning said.

“What?” the manager looked at Song Yan Ning, puzzled by her words.

Seeing Song Yan Ning point at one of the men, the manager turned to see that he was frozen in place, as was the other man, “What happened to them?”

“Bang!” A loud noise erupted as the door was kicked open.

Liu Xin stormed in, furious. He had planned to meet the Boss there and did not expect such an ordeal. Even his store wasn’t safe from robbery, which was certainly pushing their luck.

The manager sighed in relief when she saw Liu Xin, “Boss!” Now, she didn’t have to worry.

“Boss!” Liu Xin also noticed Song Yan Ning behind the manager and quickly walked over. He had arrived a few minutes early, not expecting the Boss to be even earlier.

The manager looked astounded as Liu Xin approached her, struggling to grasp the situation. Was he calling her the boss? Had the boss gone mad?

Liu Xin arrived in front of Song Yan Ning, “I’m sorry, Boss, for startling you.” Though his words conveyed an apology, he knew in his heart that the ones truly startled were probably the robbers. And sure enough, they couldn’t even move because they were still frozen in place.

“Boss… Boss?” the manager’s eyes widened, disbelievingly staring at Song Yan Ning. She was their boss? How could that be possible?

Song Yan Ning smiled and said to Liu Xin, “Let’s sort out this issue first, and then we can talk.”

“Yes,” Liu Xin respectfully responded. He was fully aware of the Boss’s capabilities; not just these two, but even two more wouldn’t stand a chance against the Boss. Otherwise, how would he be willing to take orders from a kid in Beijing?

“Are you really the boss?” the manager still couldn’t believe it. She looked no older than twelve or thirteen; how could she be their boss? But the reality in front of her was undeniable.

Song Yan Ning nodded, “You did well. I’ll have Liu Xin give you a raise.” Her initial impulsive reaction indirectly highlighted her character.

“Thank you, Boss! Can I ask, what happened to them? Why couldn’t they move?” The manager was curious.

“I don’t know either,” Song Yan Ning said as the police arrived, and she flicked her fingers again.

The two men suddenly felt a relief wash over them and fearfully looked around. Had they encountered some malevolent force?

But they had no time to ponder further as the police quickly restrained them.
