Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Making Trouble?

"The supervisors had deep-seated grievances against Manager Zhao and Ma Xiangrong. Now that these few have been sacked, it’s really in line with the people’s will. Seeing hope, of course they are full of enthusiasm for work," Lin Tian said with a slight smile, also in a low voice.

"Then, have you considered hiring a secretary? I could be your secretary," Xiao Manxuan said with a playful smile.

Chuckling, Lin Tian replied, "Heh, you are the precious daughter of the Xiao Family. How could I dare to hire you as a secretary? However, if you were considering the role of a boss’s wife, that could be an option."

The little girl was stunned, it took her a moment to realize. Lin Tian was the boss, and if she became the boss’s wife, wouldn’t that imply a certain kind of relationship? Xiao Manxuan’s pretty face suddenly blushed, as if the red wine she had drunk was playing tricks on her. Her heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks began to heat up.

"Second Miss, are you alright? Your face is so red," Lin Tian said in surprise, he was only making a joke earlier; he had no idea that Xiao Manxuan’s thoughts were running so wild.

"No... it’s nothing. You just do your thing, don’t worry about me," Xiao Manxuan said nervously, afraid that Lin Tian would notice her little thoughts.

This girl, has she been influenced by Su Qingqing and turned into a shy girl too? This is so unlike her usual style, Lin Tian shook his head, puzzled.

He turned back to the meeting table. The supervisors were whispering among themselves, mostly about the new changes in the bar.

"Folks, this is the preliminary personnel arrangement. For positions not yet assigned, Lu Jia will temporarily allocate people to fill them until we find suitable talents to appoint. However..." As soon as Lin Tian spoke, everyone fell silent again, and after a pause, he continued, "I must emphasize the last rule: no one is allowed to sell out on my turf, and no one is allowed to bully our female wait staff. Anyone caught will have their legs broken and be thrown out."

"Our bar, being one of the most upscale in the west part of town, will not tolerate such low-level behavior. I would rather close down the bar than resort to these crooked shortcuts! Is everyone clear on that?" Lin Tian’s tone became serious towards the end, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the supervisors and captains.

He could see every subtle change in their expressions crystal clear. Most of them agreed, but three male supervisors showed a look of unease. Without investigating, Lin Tian could guess that these three had been involved in shady dealings. Sooner or later, these three rotten apples would spoil the whole pot of porridge,

Lin Tian glanced at Rossi, who nodded in understanding. Rossi would take care of these three personally, whether he would kick them out of the bar or cripple them depended on Rossi’s mood.

Given their actions, considered poisoning their own Huaxia compatriots, crippling them wouldn’t even be too harsh!

"Good, I support the boss’s rules," Lu Jia was the first to speak up, saying, "It’s those so-called security guards, scumbags wearing a uniform, who have repeatedly harassed the female staff at the bar, utterly despicable!"

"Yeah, sometimes when we women are bullied by customers, they actually side with the customers. I have several sisters who can’t stand it and are considering resigning."

"We are a high-class bar, not a place to sell our looks. We should have such rules!"

...

No sooner had the last rule been announced than the female supervisors and captains began discussing it excitedly. Lin Tian hadn’t expected this rule to be the one to stir them up the most.

While they were discussing heatedly, someone suddenly ran in from outside, visibly panicked. He was wearing the bar’s uniform and had an earpiece on. As soon as he entered, he rushed to Manager Zhao.

"Manager Zhao, something terrible has happened. There’s trouble in a third-floor private room; the sports car crowd and the motorcycle riders are at odds over the number one room, and it’s about to come to blows," the man said anxiously to Manager Zhao, unaware that Manager Zhao had already been fired.

"Is it them?"

"This bunch of people, not even afraid of the former boss, it’s said that they’re a circle made up of rich second-generations from various places. The people inside are even richer and more powerful than our former boss!"

"Trouble, if we offend them, who knows what they will do to our bar?"

...

All the bar management were all abuzz, obviously recognizing who the troublemakers were. Seeing that Manager Zhao wasn’t speaking, the reporter anxiously added, "Manager Zhao, the boss isn’t here, and you’re the only one who has dealt with them before. Only you stepping in might be able to quell this storm."

The situation had arisen suddenly, and as Manager Zhao listened, a smile appeared on his face, and he became composed. He said slowly, "If I step in, they will surely show me some respect, but the issue is not that I don’t want to intervene; it’s just that I am no longer the manager of the bar, there’s nothing I can do."

While speaking, his eyes glanced at Lin Tian, his expression suggesting, "See, without me, you can’t handle this bar!"

The reporter looked around and then noticed Ma Xiangrong sitting on the ground injured, and the two little hooligans nailed to the table with a broken knife.

A gasp of "Ah" came out of his mouth, but upon seeing that all the supervisors were very calm, he quickly covered his mouth.

"Xiao Wu, this gentleman is the new owner. You mustn’t be disrespectful," Lu Jia signaled with her eyes and said.

"Ah..." Xiao Wu was taken aback and didn’t respond immediately.

Manager Zhao, putting on airs, chuckled and said, "Xiao Wu, you probably don’t know yet, but this young man is the new owner of the bar. You should report any issues to him. I have no position, no power, and no authority to handle anything. With the new owner’s abilities, he will naturally be able to resolve any trouble smoothly."

There was an undertone of irony in his words, indicating that he thought Lin Tian was just a young punk good at fighting but with no experience in dealing with real trouble. By the time trouble arose, the new owner would have to ask him for help. Just imagining the situation where the new owner would ask him to come back made Manager Zhao’s face unconsciously break into a smug smile.

Even Ma Xiangrong, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to see a ray of hope. Ignoring the pain in his hands, he clenched his teeth and stood up.

"What are you dawdling for? Get those two brothers out for treatment," Ma Xiangrong seemed to regain the dignity of being the boss and ordered his underlings.

Lin Tian didn’t have time for these two fools and was the first to leave the meeting room, heading for the No. 1 VIP room on the third floor. As Lin Tian left, Xiao Manxuan and Rossi naturally followed, and all the bar management also poured out of the conference room, trailing behind Lin Tian.

Manager Zhao and Ma Xiangrong exchanged glances, sharing knowing smiles. Although Ma Xiangrong’s smile was a bit distorted due to pain, he still endured it and followed the crowd to the No. 1 VIP room on the third floor.

They all wanted to see how the new owner would embarrass himself and how he would later come back groveling for help. The thought alone made Ma Xiangrong’s pain in his hand feel much lighter.

The No. 1 VIP room was the bar’s most luxurious room. Lin Tian had not yet arrived when he already heard the sound of quarreling coming from inside the room, many waiters, both male and female, crowding outside the door, yet none daring to enter.
