Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Holding a Meeting

The few people around were very surprised, and there were outsiders present too, yet the two dared to exchange mutual attraction. Rossi didn’t mind because he understood what kind of person Lin Tian was, and that he wouldn’t care about others’ opinions when doing something he wanted. However, Hu Ying and Su Qingqing didn’t understand, and this was an eye-opener for them.

Lin Tian, thick-skinned as a city wall, naturally ignored the spectators and calmly said, "Second Miss, it’s fine now, please show the document to Hu Ying."

The little girl nodded and then handed the document to Hu Ying. After receiving it, Hu Ying looked it over carefully, his expression growing more surprised as he read, until finally, it turned to shock.

"Is this...is this real?" Hu Ying asked incredulously, finding it hard to believe.

Although he hadn’t been at the bar for long, he had lived in Xikou City for a long time and naturally knew the kind of people Bai Yufeng and his group were. They were either rich or prestigious in Xikou City, backed by wealthy and influential families. It could be said that as long as they didn’t commit a horrific murder, they could do as they pleased in Xikou City.

Yet, such a group had transferred the bar to the young man before him, Hu Ying couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the document in his hand again to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, and confirmed it was indeed the bar transfer agreement, the bar now fully belonged to the young man before him.

"Mr. Lin, no, Boss Lin, please wait, I’ll go fire that jerk who blocked our way earlier," Hu Ying reacted quickly, immediately wanting to dismiss that little rascal, to avoid the new boss’s thunderous fury causing everyone else trouble.

"Hu Ying, don’t rush, if I’m not mistaken, you probably won’t be able to fire him right now, he doesn’t seem to be very afraid of you, does he?" Lin Tian said with a smile.

"I..." Hu Ying’s face reddened for a moment, he was in a higher position than that little rascal, yet couldn’t handle him, and this fact was pointed out by the new boss, making his face even more awkward, unable to save face.

"Be calm, let me ask you, what is your position at the bar? Who is the head of security?" Lin Tian inquired, already suspecting something.

Embarrassed, Hu Ying stammered, "I am the deputy head of security at the bar; the head of security is Ma Xiangrong, who was a notorious bully in Xikou City and was subdued by Second Boss, oh, by Sun Decai, and then brought to work as the head of security at the bar, essentially to maintain order."

He referred to Sun Decai as Second Boss because Bai Yufeng was the main owner of the bar, owning the majority of the shares.

"Oh, what did you do before that?" Lin Tian asked nonchalantly.

I used to guard a warehouse in a shopping mall, but since I was the sole breadwinner for my family, the salary wasn’t enough. I decided to switch jobs, and just then Night Rose Bar was hiring skilled security personnel, so I applied. The interview was simple, just combat sparring, and I defeated five people alone, so they made me the deputy head," Hu Ying briefly shared how he joined the bar, but his face flushed a bit when he mentioned beating five people.

No wonder this Hu Ying acted differently from typical thugs; Lin Tian suddenly realized and took a second look at him.

"If you had a fight with Ma Xiangrong, who would be more formidable?" Lin Tian continued to inquire.

"If it were a full-out fight, I would be slightly better than him, and if I had an iron rod, as long as he doesn’t use a gun, no matter what cold weapon he uses, he definitely can’t beat me," Hu Ying said confidently, but thinking of Lin Tian’s terrifying speed and strength, he felt discouraged again.

At this point, Lin Tian had almost figured out the situation. Ma Xiangrong was definitely the confidante of Bai Yufeng and his people. Therefore, even though Hu Ying was more capable, he had to settle for being the deputy leader.

Most of the security guards in the bar came from delinquent backgrounds and naturally supported Ma Xiangrong, a former bully. Coupled with Hu Ying’s overly upright dealings, he was definitely ostracized by these people in the bar, to the extent that no one listened to him. Just like the security guard just now who daringly showed him disdain, clearly backed by Ma Xiangrong.

"What’s your salary now, and what about Ma Xiangrong?" Lin Tian had made up his mind and chuckled.

"I know this..." Su Qingqing glanced at Lin Tian and whispered, "Hu Ying’s salary is just over four thousand a month, but Ma Xiangrong’s is over eight thousand, twice his amount."

Su Qingqing had taken over the financial duties for just a few days, yet she understood them so thoroughly it was evident she had put in a lot of effort. Lin Tian looked at her appreciatively several times. Lin Tian swore that his gaze was absolutely proper, purely appreciative.

Yet, the little accountant still bashfully lowered her head, her cheeks flushing, which made Xiao Manxuan beside him glare at him as if he had bullied this young girl.

I really am more wronged than Dou’e. It’s her own timidity and shyness. Why does it end up being blamed on me? Lin Tian felt very dissatisfied in his heart, finding himself unjustly labeled as a lecherous boss harassing his female subordinate.

All Lin Tian could do was retract his gaze, turning to Hu Ying, "Hu Ying, go and notify all management to meet in the conference room. Everyone from the bar manager to department heads and supervisors must attend. Remember, don’t reveal my identity first. I want to see what these people are really like."

Having received the instructions, Hu Ying went out to notify them, and Lin Tian, along with Xiao Manxuan and Rossi, went to the conference room first; even Su Qingqing followed.

Once in the conference room, Lin Tian said to Su Qingqing, "You sit tight, don’t worry about us. If I don’t speak later, don’t disclose my identity, okay?"

Su Qingqing obediently nodded and sat down at the edge of the conference table, while Lin Tian and the others sat down in a corner. Lin Tian’s purpose was to clearly see which members of the management needed to be removed and which could stay.

Five minutes later, the first person walked in, a woman in her thirties wearing a spaghetti strap dress, with light makeup on her face, her waist swaying as she walked, a smile on her face. Upon entering, she noticed Lin Tian in the corner and felt that the trio was unfamiliar.

"I’m not sure how to address you. As the HR manager, I don’t seem to have met you before?" In her eyes, the men were handsome, the women beautiful, with extraordinary demeanors, not looking like ordinary people, so she spoke rather politely.

"New here," Lin Tian said simply, expressionless.

The HR manager was about to speak when Su Qingqing pulled her aside. The young girl seemed to have a good relationship with her and anxiously said, "Sister Lu Jia, he is... a new supervisor who hasn’t registered yet."

The statement didn’t quite hold up, but Lu Jia, being a perceptive person, realized these three might be associated with the boss and said nothing more.

Before long, various supervisors and heads arrived one after another—fifteen people, and surprisingly half of the management was female.
