Chapter 38: Huge sum of money arrived, convenience store caught fire

  "Ms. An, Manager Liu asked me to take you there."

Looking at Xiaoye in front of him, who was wearing a slim-fitting suit, a low ponytail, and light makeup, giving off a neat, reliable, and generous look, Anluo secretly sighed.

The changes are really huge.

Suddenly, Xiao Ye stopped and turned to face An Luo with excitement and gratitude on his face.

"Ms. An, thank you for what happened before."

Anlu smiled and shook his head.

"It is your ability and hard work that have been discovered by your superiors. You should thank yourself."

Xiao Ye smiled.

"Anyway, thank you."

Xiao Ye led An Luo to the backstage of the auction.

"Ms. An!"

Manager Liu strode towards us with a smile.

"Sorry to bother you. These two documents need your signature."

After Anlu took it, he checked it and then signed with a pen.

Xiao Ye next to her suddenly looked towards the door and frowned slightly.

Is it her illusion?

Did the door seem to have been opened just now?

The box of gold that Yu An had sent had already been sold. Counting the eight-digit sum just received, An Luo's assets had already exceeded 100 million!

With a nine-digit sum of money in her pocket, she felt like her steps were floating and she felt dizzy.

"Ms. An? Ms. An?"

Anluo came back to his senses instantly and turned to look over.

"Anything else?"

The person in charge of the auction handed over a business card.

"Ms. An, it's a pleasure to work with you. I look forward to working with you next time."

Anlu took the business card and nodded.

"Thank you for today."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out holding the document bag.

It was Xiao Ye who sent her out. After watching An Luo's car leave, she withdrew her gaze and walked back.

As I walked, I couldn't stop feeling emotional.

Ms. An is really low-key. Who would have thought that a wealthy woman with a net worth of over 100 million yuan would actually drive a small car worth tens of thousands of yuan?

Is this also a little habit of rich people?

"Miss, please wait a moment!"

Suddenly a girl in uniform called her.

Xiaoye stopped and looked at her.

A waiter at a cocktail party?

"What can I do for you?"

The girl looked out the door and asked with a smile.

"Miss, is the lady who just left a friend of Manager Liu?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye frowned slightly and became alert.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?"

Seeing that she was unhappy, the girl quickly apologized, looked at her cautiously, made an excuse, and explained while observing her expression.

"I'm sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. What I meant was that I didn't see that lady at the reception just now, so I came to ask if she was dissatisfied with our service."

Xiaoye took a step back and examined her.

"This has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, Xiao Ye ignored her and turned away.

Anluoke didn't know that a small incident had just happened because of her.

She is answering a call from the bank right now.

"Financial management? ...No, no need."

She had just hung up the phone when another one came in.

"Didn't I tell you? I don't plan to buy financial products..."

Unexpectedly, there was a burst of crying, a wailing sound, and shouting for help, and it was very noisy.

"Boss, the convenience store is on fire, come and take a look."

Hearing this, An Luo felt a buzzing sound in his head, followed by tinnitus and dizziness.

She didn't even bother to say a word to Linlin. She hung up the phone, hurriedly hailed a taxi, and rushed to the convenience store.

When Anlu arrived, the fire had been put out.

Looking at the burnt and blackened ruins, Anluo felt as if all his strength had been drained away. The moment he stepped out of the taxi, his legs went weak and he almost fell down.

Linlin quickly ran over and supported her.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Anluo burst into tears as he looked at the ruins.

The convenience store her mother left for her is gone!

She got so anxious and angry that her body went limp and she fainted.

"Boss! Boss!"

On the hospital bed, An Luo was in a coma with his brows furrowed and he was mumbling something. Linlin moved closer and listened carefully. He heard that she was shouting "I'm sorry, Mom".

Yes, the convenience store was left by the boss's mother, and the boss cherishes it very much.

It's all her fault. If only she had been less careless and checked more often.

"ah!"

Anluo woke up suddenly.

"Boss? You finally woke up, how do you feel? I'll go find a doctor!"

Linlin ran and called for a doctor.

Anlu rubbed his head and sat up, blinked, and wiped the wet corners of his eyes.

She just dreamed about her mother, who talked about the convenience store burning down.

My mother's comfort seems to still be ringing in my ears.

Mom said that leaving the convenience store to her was to give her a way out, not to trap her.

She also said that it was okay to burn it, and she hoped that she could do what she really wanted to do.

After the doctor finished the examination and left, Anluo held Linlin's hand tightly.

"What on earth is going on?"

Linlin was also in a state of disarray, looking frightened.

"I was sorting the shelves and all of a sudden there was a 'bang' and then it started to burn."

"The cause of the fire has been found. The firefighters said that the socket strip in the lounge was of substandard quality and caused a short circuit, and there were also flammable and explosive items around."

An Luo frowned.

"How is this possible? The power strip is the brand I've been using for years, and I just bought it half a month ago. And there are flammable items, are they the blankets in the lounge?"

Linlin shook her head.

"No, the firefighter said, there was a box of sunscreen spray and a few cans of beer on the table."

"Sunscreen spray and beer?! Whose?"

Linlin quickly shook her head.

"Boss, you know I don't drink. Besides, I was the only one using the lounge before. After Xiaoxiao came, she used it with me."

At this point, Linlin hesitated.

"Xiaoxiao bought the power strip herself. She said she had no place to charge it, so she brought one herself. She also bought the sunscreen spray. I saw her receive a box of express last week, but I didn't see her take it away. I don't know if it was hers."

The more he listened, the tighter An Luo clenched his hands.

She already had the answer in her mind.

Xiaoxiao asked for leave to go back to her hometown this time not because something happened to her family, but to create an alibi!

But why did she do this?

"Boss, I'm sorry."

Linlin bowed her head guiltily and apologized.

Anlu shook his head.

"I don't blame you. You should go back and have a rest. I look forward to being your colleague again when the convenience store reopens."

Even if she starts her own business in the future, she will never give up her mother's convenience store.

Linlin wiped away her tears.

"Woo woo, boss, you're so nice. I will never complain about you being addicted to watching live broadcasts and being an internet addict again."

Anlu patted her hands.

"Go back and rest."

After Linlin left, Anluo's face instantly turned cold.

She took out her cell phone and called Xiaoxiao, but as expected, the owner of the number had changed.

Just at this time, Officer Lu called.

It was said that a large sum of money suddenly appeared in the account of a distant relative of the couple.

An Luo's expression was serious, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

"Officer Lu, another incident happened here. I think there must be a connection between these two incidents!"
