Chapter 248: Chapter 247: The Bar Changes Hands

"You want this bar?" Bai Yufeng was taken aback, appearing surprised on the surface but feeling relieved inside.

This bar was located in downtown Xikou City, in a bustling area. Although it was valuable, Bai Yufeng thought it was worth it if a bar could resolve this matter.

The scandal of bullying students was going to break out, becoming a family scandal and possibly involving the police. Bai Yufeng didn’t want to take that responsibility. He exchanged a glance with Sun Decai, and after a few seconds of eye contact, they made a decision, though outwardly he appeared very reluctant.

"What if I don’t agree?" Bai Yufeng purposely gritted his teeth. "The value of this bar already exceeds what I’m willing to accept."

Lin Tian had noticed their subtle exchange of looks and casually picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, poured himself a glass, and said indifferently, "If you don’t agree, then you don’t agree. Can I control your thoughts? I’m not forcing you. If you can’t part with the bar, just give me double its value in cash. I can accept that, fair enough, right? I’m not asking for your beloved bar."

Everyone present thought Lin Tian had given up on demanding the bar, but his next words stunned them, feeling like a thousand alpacas were running wild in their hearts. This is not forcing? This is fair? That’s absurd, everyone thought.

"Think it over, I’m not pressing you. Just a shabby bar, to you rich second generations, it’s just a drop in the ocean," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"A shabby bar?" Bai Yufeng was infuriated, and seeing Lin Tian leisurely drinking only made him want to throw a punch.

He yelled, "Do you know how much my bar is worth? The total area of my bar is 2,900 square meters, the most upscale bar in Xikou City. Just the construction costs were 30 million, not to mention additional investments. We spent over 40 million buying this bar, and with the rising property prices in Xikou City, it would double in value after a year. And you call it shabby? Show me a better bar then!"

It’s not that he cared about the money; 40 million wasn’t paid by him alone. Spread among everyone present, his share wasn’t much. But the bar was decorated entirely according to his tastes, Bai Yufeng was very satisfied and loved it. Now that Lin Tian had called it a shabby bar, he felt his creativity was being trampled on, and his anger flared up.

"Why the rush? After today, it won’t belong to you anyway. No matter how well it’s decorated, it’s all in vain, isn’t it?" Lin Tian treated his outcry as barking, completely ignoring his anger.

"Fine, fine, fine, we’ll give you the bar!" Bai Yufeng gritted his teeth and said. Although the others were also shareholders of the bar, under these circumstances, this was the only way to go, and nobody objected.

"Good, I must receive the legal procedures and ownership certificates within an hour. You start the process now, I’ll wait here, remember, one hour," Lin Tian emphasized.

"You... Lin Tian, you’re going too far, it’s after office hours, where would you find someone to do the paperwork! You know as well as I do, it’s notoriously difficult to get stuff done officially in this country," Sun Decai couldn’t hold back anymore, it was exactly lunchtime, so who would be in their office waiting to process your paperwork.

"It might be a bit troublesome, but with the capabilities of everyone present, such a small matter shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Lin Tian said.

At their level of living, the idea of having difficulty with paperwork was absurd. Lin Tian, of course, didn’t believe such nonsense. Bai Yufeng patiently took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Immediately transfer the property under my name, Night Rose Bar, to a person named Lin Tian, yes, right now, the procedures must be completed within an hour... Damn, do you not know it’s noon right now? Just do what I tell you to do, and if you nag any further, you won’t be the financial director any longer. You’re truly useless, needing me to teach you even the smallest things!"

After a torrent of abuse, Bai Yufeng vented all the frustrations he had endured today on the unfortunate financial director. These family scions are just like that, they completely lack respect for the company’s talent, and they don’t regard even the company executives with any esteem.

They treat employees merely as tools, naturally assuming, "I pay your salary, therefore everything about you belongs to the company." They use women like men and men like slaves, squeezing every last drop of residual value from their employees while berating them.

Lin Tian remembered, in Xiao Manxue’s office, there were photos of first-line employees, those genuine smiling faces, which were the best reward for her. Comparing this, Lin Tian found her domineering CEO demeanor quite adorable. Good employees, when they meet a good boss, then there is talk of happiness.

"Brother Tian, Brother Tian... they’re calling you," Rossi suddenly reminded Lin Tian by his side.

Lin Tian snapped back to reality, only to realize a group of people staring at him in astonishment. What are you looking at, it’s none of your business if I was thinking about a woman, Lin Tian suspected he had just shown an inappropriate smile. But with a skin thick as city walls, he wasn’t about to care about these people’s opinions.

"Hmm, very good, Mr. Bai... quick enough, I’m very patient, I’ll just wait here for an hour," Lin Tian said with a chuckle, intentionally elongating the sound of "Mr."

Bai Yufeng and his group were seething with rage, you ask to complete the procedure within an hour and call that patient? Pigs might fly then. But they were furious and yet dared not speak out, unable to fight back and with their leverage in someone else’s hands, they had no grounds to contest.

"It’s mealtime now, let’s eat while waiting," Lin Tian checked the time, then turned to Rossi and said, "Call Tianfu Restaurant, order a table of dishes to be delivered to Night Rose Bar, just say it’s Mr. Bai Junior treating."

Order your uncle, Bai Yufeng really wanted to throw a stool over, Tianfu Restaurant was Xiao Family’s enterprise, the best dining place in Xikou City, a table of dishes would cost quite a bit, he felt Lin Tian was purposely digging for money.

But what else could he say, they were even ready to give up the bar, would they care about the money for some dishes? Bai Yufeng could only comfort himself this way.

The Xiao Family’s reputation for integrity was no joke, no sooner had the call to order food hung up than the meals were delivered. Lin Tian and Rossi ate happily, while Bai Yufeng, Sun Decai and the people from the taekwondo gym ate as if chewing wax.

Halfway through the meal, the financial director arrived, all contracts, procedures, and documents were complete, just needing a signature to take effect. Lin Tian reviewed everything, confirmed there were no issues, and signed his name.

The procedures completed, the financial director could have left, but he suddenly took out a document from his bag, seriously saying, "Mr. Bai, this is my resignation letter."

"What do you mean by this? Getting too bold, huh? You dare show me attitude just because I cursed you a bit, you think I won’t fire you? Just one word from me, and no one in Xikou City would dare hire you!" Bai Yufeng felt his face had been slashed, infuriated.
