Chapter 324: Chapter 323 The Return of the Ghost

"Go ahead with your tasks, no need to go up; I’ll handle it myself," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

Although Hu Ying couldn’t decipher Lin Tian’s expression, he didn’t ask further. He had absolute confidence in his boss’s capabilities.

After Hu Ying left, Lin Tian was about to head upstairs when a beautiful mature woman approached him, bringing a fragrant breeze. The woman was dressed in a black lace hollow dress, wore light makeup, and had her hair pinned up, exposing her fair neck, looking both capable and sexy.

"Boss, long time no see, you’re here," she said with a surprised face as she approached Lin Tian.

"Manager Lu, you’ve done well. The bar environment is free from the previous chaos, very good," Lin Tian complimented. He had observed the place upon his arrival. It was evening, and nightlife had already begun, but there were no issues like drug peddling, nor were any female staff being mistreated.

Upon receiving Lin Tian’s praise, Manager Lu’s face revealed an even more joyful smile, seemingly happier than receiving a bonus.

She blinked her eyes and said with a cheerful smile, "Captain Hu Ying has recently focused on improving the bar’s atmosphere, and has indeed disciplined a few groups. Now, the patrons have become much more compliant, aware that the bar has a new owner and the environment has improved. The high-end clientele has even increased compared to before; they all want to meet you, boss."

Wealthy people need entertainment too, but they don’t want to get involved in negative dealings that could ruin their wonderful lives. Only fools would do that; hence, they choose the Night Rose Bar for entertainment. Lin Tian wasn’t surprised by this and simply nodded.

"However, we seem to have offended those involved in drug peddling," Manager Lu added with some concern.

Offending those people was inevitable, but Lin Tian was even less concerned. He chuckled and said, "Don’t worry; if those people think their lives are too long, they can try to cause trouble at the bar."

Although Lin Tian said this with a smile, Manager Lu detected the cold tone in his words. She knew her boss could definitely do what he said. A couple of days ago, there was news that the former head of the bar’s security, Ma Xiangrong, was crippled and subsequently killed by an old enemy in a brutal manner.

While Manager Lu didn’t know who orchestrated this, she intuitively felt her handsome boss was involved. Working for such a boss brought her an unprecedented sense of security.

"Manager Lu, is there anything else important?" Lin Tian asked.

"Su Qingqing resigned," Manager Lu hesitantly reported, her heart also a bit uneasy since Su Qingqing was someone Lin Tian had high hopes for. She feared his reaction since she hadn’t managed to retain her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian wasn’t upset at all; he simply said, "Alright, I’m aware of that. You should recruit another financial manager. Also, you’ve performed well these past few days. I’m officially promoting you to the full manager of the bar, responsible for all its affairs. Make your own decisions on matters, there’s no need to report everything. The security of the bar will be handled by Rossi, you don’t have to worry."

"Really, thank you for your trust, boss, you are so handsome!" Manager Lu exclaimed with a surprised smile, then flirtatiously blinked as the compliment slipped out.

However, after speaking, she felt that her praise might have been a bit inappropriate, as he was, after all, her boss. She looked at Lin Tian nervously, trying to discern any displeasure on his face.

Lin Tian glanced at her and said, "Manager Lu, all talk and no action, that’s a fake trick. You say I’m handsome, yet show no action; despite all the beauties in our bar, not one has confessed. You all just speak with your mouths."

Faced with Lin Tian’s jest, Manager Lu was a bit caught off guard but understanding his humor, her cheeks reddened as she replied softly, "Boss, we wouldn’t dare; the lady by your side is too beautiful."

Uh, just a joke, no need to spell it out so clearly, Lin Tian, looking at Lu Jia whose eyes were brimming with autumn waves, felt he had hoisted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

He touched his nose and got back to the point, "Manager Lu, work hard. I have a lot of faith in you. Go on then, I’ll head up first."

Lin Tian stretched out his hand to pat her on the shoulder as a gesture of encouragement, but halfway he remembered she was a woman, which might seem like flirting with a female subordinate. Lu Jia, however, looked back at Lin Tian, showing no intention of dodging, her eyes even shimmered as if she was completely open to Lin Tian’s affectionate gesture.

Damn it, withdrawing the hand now would be too lame, being a ballsy man, I’m a hooligan, who am I afraid of, Lin Tian exercised his thick-skinned skills, and naturally patted Lu Jia’s shoulder.

Mmm, the skin beneath the hollow-cut dress was very smooth, quite a nice touch. Lin Tian’s sensitive palm felt it instantly, yet he very solemnly said, "Not bad, not bad."

Lin Tian wasn’t sure if he was praising her smooth skin or her work competence, but either compliment was correct anyway.

"Thank you, boss, for your trust." Lu Jia looked up at Lin Tian’s handsome face and said composedly, although her heart was in turmoil.

Lin Tian nodded his head and turned to head upstairs stylishly; staying any longer really would flirt with the suspicion of harassing a female subordinate. Yet, a hint of regret appeared on Lu Jia’s face as she fixedly watched Lin Tian’s departing figure, wondering about something.

Arriving at the rooftop door, Lin Tian, with his keen hearing, had already picked up the swooshing sounds from outside, although the two people fighting outside were restraining themselves, but they could not fool him.

"Creak..." Lin Tian pulled open the iron door, and the two people outside instantly separated, standing at the railings on the opposite ends of the rooftop, but both turned towards the rooftop entrance simultaneously.

"Brother Tian." Rossi continued to call out respectfully as always.

"Brother Tian!" Another person exclaimed upon seeing Lin Tian, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Ghost, how come you seem to have improved a lot since the last time I saw you?" Lin Tian looked at the person on his right and asked with a smile on his face.

Indeed, the person sparring with Rossi was none other than Ghost, who had not been seen for many days, and it seemed that his Ancient Yoga Skill had significantly advanced. Possessing even more formidable skills, Ghost was back!

Ghost had never met Rossi, but Rossi had seen Ghost; during an earlier attack by Japanese Ninjas, Rossi, transformed into a bat, had concealed himself on the sidelines.

So Rossi did not go all out against Ghost, and of course, Ghost could feel that there was no malice from him; they were merely sparring out of mutual respect for each other’s skills.

"Brother Tian, since our last parting, inspired by you, I’ve come to understand many things, and unexpectedly, my realm in Ancient Yoga Skill broke through. So, my progress is all thanks to the enlightening from you, Brother Tian," Ghost said gratefully.

"Haha, you breakthrough influenced by me, Miss also made a breakthrough influenced by me, it seems I have the potential to be an Ancient Martial Arts Instructor," Lin Tian chuckled self-lovedly and then asked, "So, what realm are you at now?"
