Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Falling in Love

The woman still had a faint scent of perfume on her. Lin Tian, not wanting to spill the red wine he was holding, raised his hands and let her rush into him.

She let out an "ah" and stepped back until she was at a safe distance before stopping. It was then that Lin Tian got a clear look at her face. She appeared to be around twenty, with curvy eyebrows and long eyelashes above deep black eyes. Her lips were rosy, and she was wearing a floral print dress that fell to her knees. Though her calves were shapely, hinting at a pair of "beautiful legs," she couldn’t compare with Xiao Manxuan, but at least she was no worse than Qi Jing.

She looked at Lin Tian with a hint of fear, nervously saying, "Who... who are you, and why are you entering the bar’s cellar without permission? And you can’t take the wine from the wine cellar."

The little girl was very nervous in the face of Lin Tian but managed to finish her speech, her fair little cheeks a bit flushed.

"I’m the owner of this place. I should be the one asking you, why are you here? Do you know that we are closed this afternoon?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled than she was.

Bai Yufeng had clearly sent everyone away, so why was there still a little girl here? Could it be as Xiao Manxue said, and there was really a beautiful secretary hidden here?

But she didn’t look like a secretary. Nevertheless, the bar was now his territory, and he had to make sure he understood why an unidentified person was there.

The little girl’s gaze was timid. She carefully said, "The owner of the bar seems to have the surname Bai, right? I’ve seen him once. How could it be you?"

Lin Tian also found it strange that she was there and signaled Rossi to show her the documents. The little girl took the papers, looked at them carefully, and only after going through each one did she hand them back to Rossi.

"Well, do you believe I’m the owner now? Just a moment ago, Boss Bai transferred his bar to me." Lin Tian softened his voice, so as not to frighten the girl, and after examining her for a moment, asked, "You’ve seen the documents, so you know my name. What’s your name, and what do you do at the bar?"

"I... my name is Su Qingqing, I’m the new financial accountant at the bar, just started working three days ago." The little girl named Su Qingqing was somewhat nervous; she paused before continuing, "The bar manager said there was no work today, but I haven’t finished handling the handover from the previous accountant, so I wanted to come and get it done."

To encounter such a dedicated employee in this society who was willing to work overtime without extra pay truly amazed Lin Tian.

"What’s your overtime pay usually?" Lin Tian asked.

"If it’s eight hours of overtime, the pay is one hundred and fifty yuan," Su Qingqing cautiously replied, unsure of what Lin Tian was up to.

"Today you’ll get three hundred for overtime. You’re the accountant, just add it on yourself. Okay, you can go back to your work." Lin Tian waved his hand and was ready to leave. It was almost time for afternoon classes, and he needed to go pick up Xiao Manxuan.

"Boss Lin, there’s no need. I’m just completing the unfinished work," Su Qingqing looked up bravely at Lin Tian and said without hesitation.

Damn, where did the human resources department of this bar find such a good employee? She’s practically an exemplary model of a worker, and Lin Tian couldn’t help but admire this little girl’s work ethic. If it had been him, he certainly wouldn’t have done as well as she did.

Such a good employee deserved to be paid for overtime. Lin Tian deliberately put on a stern face and said seriously, "Comrade Su Qingqing, as the boss, what I say goes. No more talk, get back to your work."

Before she could respond, Lin Tian had already left the bar with Rossi. Su Qingqing watched his retreating figure, thinking this Boss Lin was quite young. Younger than herself, in fact. But he seemed not bad at all.

Exiting the bar, the street outside was bathed in bright sunlight, a stark contrast to the dimmer lights of the bar.

"Rossi, when I’m not busy, you’re free to do as you please. Eat if you want to eat, drink if you want to drink, flirt if you feel like flirting. Alright, I’m heading back. I’ll come back to the bar tonight. Bai Yufeng’s place needs some sorting out." Lin Tian patted Rossi on the shoulder and went to drive his car back to the Xiao Mansion.

When he arrived back at the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Manxuan was already waiting at the entrance. The little girl was inevitably full of curiosity, bombarding him with questions about where he had been at noon, especially after seeing the bottle of red wine on the back seat of the car.

"You rascal, what are you doing with that bottle of red wine? Are you going on a date?" Xiao Manxuan’s imagination was running wild; she even thought Lin Tian was going on a date.

"Second Miss, you shouldn’t talk nonsense. I’m still single. Where would a date be coming from?" Lin Tian quickly clarified, then added, "I took the red wine to give to Teacher Fang Ming. She’s always been caring and supportive of me, and helped me a lot. It’s just a small token of my appreciation."

"Oh, is that so? Do you want me to accompany you?" Xiao Manxuan asked with a smile.

"You?" Lin Tian was puzzled as to why she would want to come along.

"What about me? Teacher Fang Ming likes me quite a bit. Is there something wrong with me going to visit her?" the little girl said coyly.

Well, if she wants to go, then let her go. It’s not like a wife is going to meet her future mother-in-law, being so eager for what? Lin Tian nodded in agreement and started the car to head to the school.

The English class in the afternoon finally got a new teacher to replace Wu Li. She introduced herself as Liu Ruming. This English teacher was also young and female, with pretty looks to boot, wearing a neat and clean uniform dress.

The top students of senior class one were already enthusiastic about their studies, but now with a tall and beautiful female teacher, the boys became even more spirited than before. Not only did they listen intently during class and actively engage, but they would also catch the attractive teacher after class to ask questions.

It seemed like Teacher Liu was set to become the most popular teacher among the male students. As for Lin Tian, he was indifferent since she didn’t seek him out for any trouble and didn’t mind the boys and girls sitting together, focusing only on teaching her English class diligently. This was fine by Lin Tian, as he could finally pay attention to his English class.

After all, since coming to Xikou City High School, Lin Tian had not yet had the chance to properly attend an English class, and Teacher Liu’s lectures turned out to be pretty good.

After school, Lin Tian went to the office to find Fang Ming, intending to present the red wine directly there. However, with other teachers present, it wasn’t appropriate, so he had to wait for her to finish work.

"Xiao Tian, do you need something?" asked Fang Ming as she carried a stack of materials to Lin Tian’s car. Seeing Xiao Manxuan there, too, she smiled and said, "Xuanxuan is here as well. You two are always together in and out of class. You’re not in a relationship, are you? Tell Aunt Fang, are you?"

"Teacher Fang, no... it’s not like that. We’re not dating," said Xiao Manxuan, her cheeks flushing red as her homeroom teacher inquired about her private matters.

But the little girl was apparently too nervous and mispoke, implying they had not started dating yet. Fang Ming picked up on this too, smiling as she said, "Not yet, which means there’s already an intention there, right? You two are among the students I’m most proud of—good at your studies and hardworking without being arrogant. However, I must remind you that it’s a critical time for the college entrance exams. You should be cautious with dating so it doesn’t affect your studies. Once you get into university, there’s a whole wide world out there, and you can do as you please."
