Chapter 388: Chapter 387: New Store Preparations for Opening

"President Xiao... what should we do about this?" Bao Chengyun was at his wits’ end, mumbling confusedly.

He had thought just moments before that the young man would at least break one of Zhao Ming’s legs, but who knew he would magnanimously let him go instead? This was completely different from the vigor he showed when he split that safe open.

Xiao Manxue didn’t speak, indeed letting Lin Tian handle everything. She also wanted this bastard to manage things for a change, rather than enjoying being a hands-off boss too freely.

Turning around to face Bao Chengyun, Lin Tian’s formerly stern expression returned to normal as he said, "What do you mean, what should we do? How much longer will it take to reinstall?"

"Three days, no, two days will suffice," Bao Chengyun carefully responded, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"I will only give you one day to install it, and by Friday, the entire store must be operational," Lin Tian stated assertively, his tone filled with absolute pressure.

"One day..." Bao Chengyun murmured softly, cautiously glancing at Xiao Manxue, hoping for a few days’ leniency.

But Xiao Manxue didn’t even look at him. The Xiao Family had been too lenient in the past, allowing even a minor manager to haggle with them, not to mention the Bai Family, wolves ready to bite at any moment. She thought it might be good for Lin Tian to be a bit more assertive, compensating for what the Xiao Family lacked.

"Of course..." Lin Tian’s expression softened slightly before he continued, "If you can meet my request, today’s incident will be as if it never happened, and your company won’t know about it either. But if you can’t, what do you think will be the consequences when your company finds out about such an incident in your project group?"

"No problem, we will complete it entirely to your specifications without any ambiguity. You’re really a great person," Bao Chengyun said, wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead as he hastily agreed aloud.

If the company found out about this, it wouldn’t just be a matter of losing bonuses - fines and salary deductions would be the least of his worries. If the company owner decided to make an example to the Xiao Family by handing them over to the police, the consequences would be dire.

The project team personnel around him also breathed a sigh of relief. They had no idea about the incident, and it would have been a misfortune to be implicated for no reason. Thus, their gazes towards Lin Tian were filled with gratitude.

Admiration flickered in Xiao Manxue’s eyes; this bastard was indeed fiercely formidable. To others, he was a villain, yet in the end, these people had to be grateful to him and even saw him as a good person. His ability to be both tough and generous was truly innate.

"Alright, you guys need to be more careful in hiring in the future. Don’t recruit just anyone, or you’ll only tarnish your own reputation," Lin Tian cautioned finally before preparing to leave with Miss and Su Qingqing.

"Thank you for your guidance," Bao Chengyun said, nodding respectfully.

From beginning to end, he had no idea what the young man’s name was, but he knew that in future dealings with the Xiao Family, he couldn’t afford to behave rashly.

As Lin Tian walked out of the warehouse and continued upstairs, reaching the third floor, he could hear Bao Chengyun’s angry voice.

"Who else was responsible for the project with Zhao Ming? Find them for me. They’ve almost caused trouble for all of our brothers; just wait and see how I deal with them!"

"Right, we need to take care of him," the other personnel also said angrily.

The Miss had very good hearing and clearly heard the conversation below; she laughed and said, "Those two moles are going to suffer now."

"Haha, given their anger, those two might end up spending a few months in the hospital," Lin Tian laughed dismissively.

"But letting Zhao Ming off so easily doesn’t match your style at all," Xiao Manxue said, still puzzled.

"What style do I have? I’m just an honest person. You make it sound like I’m the bad guy," Lin Tian replied discontentedly.

"If no one offends me, I do not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I pay back a hundredfold. Is that not your style?" Xiao Manxue teased with a glance, laughing.

Damn, Miss knows me quite well after all. I thought she only saw me as a lecher in her eyes, Lin Tian thought secretly.

"Miss, how do you know I didn’t pay him back? That Zhao Ming is just a small fish, a small shrimp. Even if I broke his legs or called the police to get him jailed, what would that achieve? It’s better to act as if nothing happened, not to alarm our enemies, and wait until the opening day. When the enemy disrupts things in secret, we can capture them easily. Wouldn’t that be better?" Lin Tian said with a smile, locking eyes with Miss.

"You really are awful," the Miss exclaimed, her heart skipping a beat under Lin Tian’s gaze, unable to help but chide him.

"My nature is kind-hearted; it’s just too well hidden for you to notice, isn’t that right, Miss Qingqing?" Lin Tian turned to Su Qingqing and asked earnestly, winking.

He had acted this way today to demonstrate to Su Qingqing what to do when faced with such a situation.

Who says a kind-hearted person cannot achieve great things? Someone with a fundamentally good nature might have a more winding path to success, but that very nature can withstand external temptations. Once successful, they become a great entrepreneur.

Many people fail because of the traps of temptation.

Lin Tian saw great potential in this intelligent girl. With proper coaching, oh, guidance, she would become an excellent female CEO, standing tall on her own.

Being incredibly perceptive, Su Qingqing understood Lin Tian’s intentions. She nodded gently and spoke softly, "Mr. Lin and President Xiao are both kind-hearted."

Sure enough, a kind-hearted girl—even praising me means including Miss. Lin Tian thought resignedly. Miss did not have any rebuttal; after all, opposing him would mean opposing herself. However, she appreciated Su Qingqing’s praise.

Sincere compliments are always a delight.

Subsequently, Lin Tian and the others continued inspecting the shop. He was only responsible for examining the security systems, while Miss took care of the decor. This wasn’t her first time opening a jewelry store, so she naturally knew what kind of decor was most fitting for the allure of jade jewelry.

After the inspection was complete and they reached the rooftop, an hour had passed. Standing on the side facing the street, Lin Tian looked down at the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, the Bai Family’s jewelry store, a smile forming on his face.

"Miss, the Bai Family’s new store has been open for several days now. I think Tianxue Jewelry’s first shop should open next Saturday, capitalizing on the momentum of the Zhuanghai City Gambling Stone Festival. We could fuel the promotional fire and make a splash with our grand opening. Otherwise, if we wait too long and the buzz dies down, reigniting that excitement will take much more effort," Lin Tian suggested, presenting a compelling case.

"Good thinking. The Gambling Stone Festival showcased sky-high priced jades, along with the most superb red, purple, and tri-color jades in history. Just spreading the word about displaying them on our opening day, along with an auction, will definitely stir up the Jade Industry. Not only that, but powerful buyers are bound to flock to us. Let’s set the opening for Saturday!" Miss said confidently, already well-versed in the promotional work.
