Chapter 853: Chapter 850: You Are Allowed to Redeem Your Sins With Meritorious Deeds

Tong Xiaohua gestured for him to sit down, then watched him expressionlessly.

"What do you think I’m going to do with you?"

That tone, that demeanor, where did it resemble a little girl of eighteen?

It was clearly just like when Tong Family’s Big Boss was about to deal with someone.

Li Lin broke out in a cold sweat, regretting his own shortsightedness for underestimating the new boss, thinking she was just a naïve and innocent young miss.

"I will resign on my own! I’m willing to take full responsibility for this loss."

Li Lin could only hope that this Miss wouldn’t be too harsh; otherwise, he could forget about establishing a foothold in L City ever again.

However, Tong Xiaohua just smiled, "No, I don’t need you to resign!"

Li Lin stared at her incredulously. She couldn’t really be planning to ruthlessly eliminate him, could she?

"Miss, can you consider my past dedication to the boss and give me a way out?"

Li Lin, in his thirties, and his girlfriend, ten years his junior, were recently looking for a house in preparation for their wedding. If something went wrong at this critical moment, both he and his young girlfriend might have to call it quits.

Tong Xiaohua had a very clear understanding of each supervisor and the subordinates with some capability because she always remembered what her father said.

"Xiao Hua, everyone has their weakness. You might not be able to beat them with force, but you can try starting from their weakness."

And Li Lin’s weakness was his young girlfriend.

"Brother Li, I plan to take over the sauna across the street and entrust you with its management. You can try out any good ideas you have. If you can make a profit of one million within a year, I will consider this issue resolved. Not only that, but I will also prepare a generous gift for you as a wedding gift."

Tong Xiaohua, having spent so many years by her father’s side, knew how difficult it was to cultivate a loyal and capable supervisor. Thus, she was unwilling to give up on him rashly.

Li Lin, being a smart man, understood the double meaning behind Tong Xiaohua’s offer of a wedding gift.

If he performed well this year, then he probably would indeed receive a luxurious gift.

But if he made mistakes or caused trouble again during this year, then that "generous gift" would definitely be unbearable for him.

Besides the actual luxurious gift, there was also a very tempting offer laid out before him.

He had always seen great potential in the sauna across the street, but his suggestions had not been confirmed by the old boss. Now, the new head of the family was actually saying she would acquire it and leave it entirely up to him to manage—it would be strange if he could resist!

"Miss, thank you for giving me the chance to make amends! I promise you, I’ll take care of the sauna!" Li Lin’s attitude towards Tong Xiaohua had greatly changed from before.

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "Okay, then I will take over the sauna as soon as possible and hope you won’t disappoint me!"

Li Lin hurriedly assured, "Miss, rest assured, I will definitely do a good job!"

One million in profit in a year wasn’t an overly challenging target in his eyes.

Then, he suddenly remembered a question, "Miss, what about the KTV?"

Tong Xiaohua had not mentioned it, so he figured he might be demoted. Although it was a pity, he did indeed make a mistake, and being demoted was what he deserved.

To his surprise, Tong Xiaohua looked at him curiously, "Of course you’re still in charge! Did you think I was going to let you off so easily, just managing that little sauna? If you don’t make more money for me, wouldn’t I be at a loss giving away my generous gift a year later?"

The half-serious, half-joking statement from Tong Xiaohua allowed Li Lin to breathe a sigh of relief.

So, he hadn’t been demoted after all...

Moreover, listening to her, it seemed she was quite certain that he would meet her expectations in a year’s time.

From this point of view, in the Miss’s eyes, he was quite capable, wasn’t he?

After reaching a consensus, Tong Xiaohua listened to his preliminary ideas about the sauna business. The matter with Liu Yong, it seemed, had been turned over and wasn’t brought up again.

Sitting outside the office, Qin Ming nervously pricked up his ears for over half an hour. At first, there were hardly any sounds from inside. Later, however, he faintly heard the laughter of Tong Xiaohua and Li Lin.

Qin Ming thought his ears were ringing, as it was already good luck that they weren’t arguing inside; how could there possibly be such a cheerful scene happening?

He stood up and tiptoed to the door to listen more carefully.

Inside, indeed, came the hearty laughter of Tong Xiaohua.

How bizarre!

In vain, he had been worrying that the people inside would start quarreling, or even fighting, at the drop of a hat.

But they were actually laughing so merrily?

This was beyond comprehension!

Qin Ming stood at the door for several seconds before he couldn’t resist knocking.

"Xiao Hua?"

"Come in!"

Qin Ming pushed the door open and immediately saw Tong Xiaohua’s face beaming with joy, and Li Lin, too, had a smile on his face. It looked like both of their moods were very good?

Had he traveled through time, or had these two lost their memories?

Weren’t they supposed to be at each other’s throats by now?

"Xiao Hua, if there’s any good news, share it with Uncle Ming and let me join in the happiness," Qin Ming strode in, speaking in a relaxed tone, but his face was full of suspicion as he stared at Li Lin.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t hide anything and simply repeated to Qin Ming what she had just discussed with Li Lin.

Qin Ming was inwardly astonished, yet all smiles on the outside, "Ah Lin, congratulations to you!"

He had thought that this time Li Lin would have to lose some skin to calm Tong Xiaohua’s anger.

Yet this girl had read the situation and made such a clever decision in so little time.

Undoubtedly, Tong Xiaohua’s decision could easily give people the wrong impression of shielding or fearing Li Lin.

But looking deeper, one couldn’t help but admire her intelligence.

Li Lin, after all, indeed had talent, and it would be a loss for the Tong Family if he were to be discarded because of this incident.

Tong Xiaohua’s current approach was to make him merit redemption and contribute with some misdeeds; what seemed indecisive was actually a lenient policy, doubtlessly aiming to win over Li Lin’s heart.

Once Li Lin had left, Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask Tong Xiaohua.

"So, what big gift are you planning to give him at that time?"

Without a second thought, Tong Xiaohua answered, "A wedding house located in the city center!"

Qin Ming laughed, "Little girl, you’re quite cunning!" Li Lin had indeed been having headaches about finding a house for his marriage recently, "Did you tell him?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded, her beautiful eyes twinkling with sly light.

"Yeah! If I didn’t tell him, where would he find the motivation?"

Qin Ming couldn’t contain his laughter, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "You..."

Tong Xiaohua stuck out her tongue at him, quite smugly.

"How about that, am I not very smart?"

Uncle Ming had no choice but to nod, "You are indeed very smart. I was worried you might just discard Li Lin in a fit of anger!"
