Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Too Good at Deceiving Girls

"Boss Xu, it was a pleasure doing business with you! Come on, let’s eat and not waste food," Lin Tian called out for everyone to start eating, and he and Zhou Botong began to help themselves.

However, Xu Shan was extremely cautious. Today, he had finally witnessed Lin Tian’s prowess. His combination of both hard and soft tactics left Xu Shan without any room to resist. Thinking back to having to rely on someone like Lin Tian to act as a bodyguard made Xu Shan secretly shudder with fear. Such an outstanding individual was beyond anyone’s control.

On the other hand, thinking it over, Xu Shan felt a tinge of excitement. He had always been in partnership with the Bai Family, but now having the opportunity to connect with Lin Tian seemed like a good thing as well.

The meal passed in this strange atmosphere, and when it was time to part ways, Lin Tian reminded Xu Shan, "Boss Xu, that Bai Yufeng from the Bai Family seems to have run into some trouble recently, owing quite a bit of money to others. If you start from him and offer some sweet deals, this matter will go much more smoothly."

"Really? If that’s the case, securing this deal is almost a certainty. Thank you for the guidance, Mr. Lin." Xu Shan expressed his gratitude with a clasped hands gesture before hurrying off.

Having settled another important matter, Lin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to handle this himself, he would have been at a loss, utterly clueless about how to proceed. Lin Tian always understood the principle that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"Brother Lin, you’re too impressive! You had Xu Shan completely wrapped around your finger. You’re truly my idol," Zhou Botong said with admiration as he looked at Lin Tian, giving two thumbs up.

His words struck a chord with Lin Tian, who was partnering with Xiao Manxue to open a boutique jade store. If he could get Zhou Botong to pitch in with his eloquence and connections, he would undoubtedly be a great asset.

"Botong, I’m collaborating with Miss Xiao from the Xiao Family to open a jade store. Are you interested?" Lin Tian asked straightforwardly, seeing no need for subtlety with this friend.

"Brother Lin, you were serious about the thing you asked before? I thought you were just asking casually," Zhou Botong recalled the previous phone conversation with Lin Tian.

Back then, Lin Tian had asked in detail, and Zhou Botong found it strange at the time, not realizing Lin Tian was serious about opening a store.

"You’re opening a store to go against the Bai Family, right?" Zhou Botong was no fool. The current situation suggested that opening the store was definitely related to the recent troubles of the Xiao Family. He spoke earnestly, "Telling me about such an important matter in advance shows that you trust me as a brother. And since it’s against the Bai Family, how could I possibly not be involved? But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else."

Despite Zhou Botong’s typically whimsical nature, he was clear-headed when it came to significant matters. Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction, pleased to have not misjudged him. The two quickly agreed to let Zhou Botong approach Xiao Manxue about the venture. As for the distribution of shares, Xiao Manxue had her own plans.

After parting ways with Zhou Botong, Lin Tian checked his phone and saw that it was almost time for school. He drove back to pick up Xiao Manxuan from the Xiao Family.

In the afternoon, there was an English class taught by a substitute teacher from another class. However, he mentioned it was just a temporary arrangement, as the school hadn’t decided who would take over the senior class’s English lessons.

During the ten-minute break between classes, Lin Tian’s phone rang. Taking it out, he saw it was an unfamiliar number. Could it be that something had happened to Xu Shan? It shouldn’t be; the transaction hadn’t even started yet.

He swiped to answer the call, only to hear Miss’s voice on the line. Lin Tian instinctively turned to look at Xiao Manxuan, and seeing her absorbed in her book, he quietly stepped outside.

However, as he got up, he caught Zhang Lingyu’s mockingly amused expression and knew that with the little girl’s hearing, she had already discerned it was a woman’s voice on the call. Her expression made him feel as if he was secretly meeting with a woman, but he was an honest guy. Ignoring her, Lin Tian walked out calmly.

"Lin Tian, this is Xiao Manxue. After you drop off Xuanxuan at home after school, come to the Xiao Group Building to pick me up," Xiao Manxue’s tone was as commanding as ever.

But having taken the Xiao Family’s salary, Lin Tian didn’t make a big deal out of it. He nodded, then realized she couldn’t see him and said, "Alright."

"Beep beep beep..."

Even hanging up the phone was done in her characteristic blunt and domineering manner. Lin Tian despised her a bit for that. Such a big shot, that President Xiao.

Time flew, and after school, Lin Tian drove Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu home. The two had company, so Xiao Manxuan didn’t ask him where he was going, and Lin Tian was happy not to have to lie.

The Xiao Group Building was also considered a rather famous structure in Xikou City. Lin Tian, having worked as a security guard at Xinyi Mall, naturally knew where the headquarters were.

After parking his car, Lin Tian originally planned to wait outside for Xiao Manxue to come out, but then another phone call came in.

"Lin Tian, come up for a bit, my secretary will bring you up."

Lin Tian didn’t know what Xiao Manxue was up to, coming here and then calling him up. Could this woman really be planning a secret rendezvous? An office was indeed an environment ripe for romance. When the time came, would he surrender to her or resist? That was a question worth pondering.

With all these messy thoughts, Lin Tian walked towards the main entrance of the building. Sure enough, a young female secretary was waiting for him at the door. As Lin Tian got closer and took a careful look, he saw that the secretary was also quite a beauty.

A body-hugging uniform on her figure accentuated her curves, and with black stockings and high heels, she had all the typical must-have items for a leader’s secretary.

Lin Tian had never understood why many male bosses seemed to have affairs with their secretaries. But after seeing Xiao Manxue’s secretary, Lin Tian finally got it. It was hard not to be moved with such a delicate beauty performing the uniform seduction act in front of you all day.

While he was sizing up the secretary, she was also sizing him up. Xiao Manxue had never allowed a young man to enter her office before. The secretary wanted to know what was special about the man before her.

But after looking for a while, she couldn’t find anything particularly remarkable about him. He had a good build and was handsome enough, and his healthy skin tone and masculinity were indeed enough to make a girl’s heart flutter. However, she knew that her boss wouldn’t be won over by looks alone.

"Beauty, did you figure anything out?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.

The female secretary did not show any embarrassment or panic at the sudden voice. She replied very appropriately, "Mr. Lin, hello, I’m Secretary Xu, please follow me."

"Secretary Xu, you’re really incredible, becoming President Xiao’s capable assistant at such a young age," Lin Tian said while entering the elevator, idly making conversation with her.

"..."

"Secretary Xu, you’re really beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"..."

"Secretary Xu..."

It was strange, Secretary Xu didn’t respond to anything Lin Tian said, apart from her initial words.

Finally, they arrived in front of Xiao Manxue’s office, and Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask, "Secretary Xu, can you tell me why you’re not answering me?"

Secretary Xu glanced at him, with a look that seemed both wanting to laugh and feeling embarrassed to do so. She opened her red lips and said, "President Xiao told me not to talk too much with you. She said you’re too good at deceiving girls."

"I..." Lin Tian really wanted to scream out loud, Xiao Manxue, I mark you with an X!
