Chapter 705: Chapter 702: Bringing Under Command

The captain and co-captain of the Xiao Family’s private plane hadn’t changed, still those two haughty beauties, reportedly former fighter pilots.

However, Lin Tian did notice a difference, the air hostesses had been replaced. Although Lin Tian had only seen those few hostesses once last time, he still remembered their faces, and these were obviously different.

There were a total of five new hostesses, none of them much older than twenty, but Lin Tian could tell they were different from regular hostesses; all five of them knew martial arts!

In other words, they were not just air hostesses but also served as female bodyguards. It seemed that after the last incident, Mrs. Xiao and her daughter had become more vigilant.

"These sisters are pretty fierce, Lin Tian, you better not mess with them," Xiao Manxuan whispered to Lin Tian, confirming his guess.

"Don’t worry, I’m an honest person. By the way, what did Miss Xiao tell you?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

Xiao Manxuan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "I’m not telling you, big pervert. But I can let you in on a little secret, sister told me to keep an eye on you, to make sure you don’t take advantage of Lady Kikuchi."

Lin Tian turned his head to glance at Kikuchi Mika behind him, uncertain if it was Miss Xiao’s words or the little girl’s own caution.

After loading the medicine cauldron, and forty minutes later, the plane finally took off, leaving Japan behind.

There were no direct flights from Japan to Xikou City; one would typically have to transfer via the Imperial Capital City or Zhonghai City, but it was different with a private jet, no need for transfer.

Initially, Lin Tian had considered inviting Zhou Botong, but this guy, along with Ou Mengmeng, had returned on Ou Qinglan’s private plane.

After flying for more than ten hours in the sky, the plane finally landed safely at Xikou City Airport without any malfunctions, and by then it was already night; Xiao Manxuan, the little girl, had long since fallen asleep.

The people arranged by Miss Xiao were supposed to receive them at the airport, but Lin Tian unexpectedly saw familiar faces; it was the Qi father and son, Qi Dapeng and Mr. Qi.

Qi Dapeng’s usual worried expression was gone, his son’s safety was more important to him than anything else. As for Mr. Qi, he still looked somewhat weak, having just suffered from the torment of the Gu worm; though his hair had been cut short, it was still white and it seemed that if he didn’t dye it black, he would never recover his original hair color.

But a head of white hair rather suited him, at least it made him look more mature, no longer displaying the demeanor of a carefree young master; it was as if his thinking had undergone a life-and-death experience, leading to a kind of rebirth.

"Did you just get off the plane?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.

Qi Dapeng’s voice was still loud, but he answered very respectfully, "No, we came especially to pick up Mr. Lin."

"To pick me up? How did you know we’d be back at this time? And why pick me up?" Lin Tian asked with even more surprise.

This time, Mr. Qi answered, "We inquired with Miss Xiao and learned that Brother Tian was returning to the country, so we came to pick you up. Compared with Brother Tian saving my life, picking you up from the airport is a trivial matter."

"I see, well then, I’ll tell the people Miss Xiao arranged to go back. Have someone help unload my things," Lin Tian said simply. He understood the Qi Family’s emotions at the moment; if they weren’t allowed to do something, they might come every day and drive him crazy with their persistence.

"Okay, I’ll arrange it immediately," Qi Dapeng said, delighted as Lin Tian agreed, and then had Mr. Qi arrange for someone to go.

"Does Boss Qi have anything else?" Lin Tian asked, noticing that Qi Dapeng seemed to have something more to say.

Qi Dapeng beckoned, and a male assistant stepped forward to hand him a folder. "Mr. Lin, please have a look," Qi Dapeng began, "this is the transfer procedure for Dapeng Entertainment Company. Just sign your name, and the company will be immediately transferred to your ownership. This is the reward I, Qi Dapeng, promised, and I will not go back on my word."

"Oh, Boss Qi moves quickly. The paperwork is all ready," Lin Tian was surprised, noting that martial artists tended to be more decisive than the average businessman.

Lin Tian took the documents and quickly scanned through them. They listed the basic assets of Dapeng Entertainment, including real estate, funds, and some artists under their label.

He specifically took note of the artists’ names. There were no famous ones; they were mostly third-rate stars, if even that. It was clear that Dapeng Entertainment was far from those top-tier entertainment companies.

The more first-class or top-tier stars an entertainment company had under its label, the stronger the company was considered. But Lin Tian was prepared and did not expect Dapeng Entertainment to have any top-tier artists.

The only good thing about Dapeng Entertainment was that it had no debt, which could be due to Qi Dapeng’s martial artist personality—playing it safe and steady.

Unlike some companies that seemed large and glorious on the surface but in reality, were burdened with massive debts. Once such a company’s cash flow broke or business problems arose without profit, banks and creditors would immediately come knocking, causing the company to go bankrupt in an instant.

Lin Tian was quite satisfied, and without hesitation, he signed his name swiftly. From this moment on, Dapeng Entertainment Company officially changed hands, becoming Lin Tian’s property.

Outsiders could never have imagined that such a significant decision would be made so casually in an airport, without a signing ceremony or media coverage. It would seem hasty to anyone observing.

Even Qi Dapeng himself found it somewhat incredible. He had thought Lin Tian would have a professional review the documents, or at the very least, read them thoroughly himself. But the young man had simply flipped through casually, possibly without even fully understanding the company’s asset structure.

But what he did not know was that Lin Tian, with his photographic memory, appeared to flip through the papers casually but had actually read and remembered everything.

Lin Tian seemed to pick up on Qi Dapeng’s musings and casually pointed out the irrational aspects of the company’s asset structure and other issues that needed attention.

These remarks left Qi Dapeng astounded, with only one thought in his mind: How did this young man do it? He remembered everything just by flipping through casually, even offering deep insights!

Seeing Qi Dapeng stunned, Lin Tian knew he had achieved his goal. With martial artists, it was necessary to show some edge sometimes, to impress them so they would truly respect you.

Although Lin Tian wasn’t a businessman and hadn’t managed a company, the outstanding businesspeople around him were not few—Miss Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, Wan Gaoyuan, Zi Yan, and Ou Qinglan, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the older generation.

Constantly interacting with these individuals, and certainly not dull-witted, Lin Tian naturally learned a lot. From their business acumen and tactics, he had gained much knowledge: among any company of three, there must be my teacher!

Moreover, Dapeng Entertainment was simply too small compared to Xiao Group, with a much simpler structure.

"Mr. Lin, I, Qi, am truly convinced. I am willing to follow Mr. Lin. May I ask if you are willing to have me?" Qi Dapeng said earnestly.
