379: Chapter 375: Strange (Second Update!) 379: Chapter 375: Strange (Second Update!) The originally soft banknotes turned stark and rigid when grasped in Lin Tian’s hand.
With one swift strike, Zhao Wu’s half face swelled up, several teeth scattering onto the ground.
Hearing the crisp sound of the slap and Zhao Wu’s scream, many in the sales department couldn’t help but run to the office door to look inside.
When they saw Lin Tian grabbing Zhao Wu by the collar, all the beauties in the sales department widened their mouths in shock.
“Do you still want a share of the money?
Is this how you always treat your subordinates?
Tianzi Group has such a rotten person like you, it really is bad luck!”
Lin Tian snorted coldly, twisted the entire stack of money, and fanned Zhao Wu’s other cheek, causing it to swell up as well.
“Ah, this looks much more pleasing to the eye!”
After sizing up Zhao Wu, Lin Tian nodded and stepped out of the office with Shangguan Xin.
“Wow, little brother, good hit!”
“Come here, let sister pinch your cheek!”
“We’ve finally let out some steam!”
The girls in the sales department exclaimed excitedly while giving Lin Tian thumbs-up; some even started to applaud.
“Everyone, get back to work, or Zhao Wu will come back after picking up his flight and start trouble again!”
Lin Tian waved his hand, dispersing the enthusiastic group.
“Kid, you’ve got guts!
At the same time, Zhao Wu, looking like a pig-face, suddenly walked out of the office, cast a harsh look at Lin Tian, and scurried out of the sales department.
The debt owed to Flying Emperor Agency was resolved, Shangguan Xin sighed in relief, and with the recovered money, headed to the finance department.
It was not ten minutes before Shangguan Xin returned.
It was evident that He Chunmei from finance didn’t give her a hard time today.
“That… Lin Tian, keep the extra million for yourself.
Back at her desk, Shangguan Xin turned around, looked at Lin Tian who was not far behind her, passed him the stack of money, and whispered.
Sister Xinxin, you went with me, let’s split it!
Otherwise, I won’t take the money either!”
Lin Tian shook his head, pushed the money back, and firmly said, “It’s rightfully yours!”
Seeing how Shangguan Xin was in dire need of money, Lin Tian insisted, and after much persuasion, she finally accepted it.
With the matter settled, Lin Tian glanced at You Siyan’s empty seat across from him.
The girl was not seen today; likely she was out busy trying to secure that million in sales by herself.
But for an intern college student who hadn’t even fully graduated yet, to achieve a million in sales in a month was not just invariably difficult.
Since You Siyan wished to try hard on her own, Lin Tian did not intervene much more.
As for his own task, it was much simpler for him.
There was no rush as he only needed to report at the end of the month and he could get it done in just a little over half a day.
The only thing Lin Tian was not at ease with now was Xu Tangge.
Xu Zhuyun’s sudden inquiry about Xu Tangge must have been intentional.
“If I’m guessing right, it must be for that Ancient Map!
But, Tang Ge herself doesn’t understand the whereabouts of the Ancient Map.
It seems, as long as the Ancient Map doesn’t surface, Tang Ge remains safe.
The Red Cloud Sect must value the map highly; they not only won’t harm her but perhaps will even secretly try their best to protect her!”
Sitting in silence before his desk for a while, Lin Tian thought of all possible scenarios and the stakes involved, heaving a sigh of relief before whispering, “What other sects could appear?
I could use their help in searching for the Spiritual Medicine required to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill!”
A day passed, and Lin Tian did nothing much as time slipped away.
In the evening after work, Lin Tian parked his run-down Geely not far from the entrance of Tianzi Group.
When a silver Maserati drove out from the underground parking of Tianzi Group, Lin Tian immediately followed.
“Who’s driving that car?”
Watching the silver-white luxury car ahead, Lin Tian frowned slightly and let his curiosity take over, extending his Divine Sense forward to investigate.
When he saw the woman driving the car through his Divine Sense, Lin Tian couldn’t help but be stunned.
Dressed in a sharp OL suit with her hair up, revealing a long, snow-white neck and a delicate yet alluring face, she wore an excessively beautiful smile.
I remember now, she had mentioned Tianzi Group back when I was at Dream Seeking Port, and since I joined Tianzi, I’ve heard others mention an Assistant Shi various times.
So, it was Sister Mu Wan!”
Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, then showed a bitter smile and muttered to himself, “Not just that, when I met her it’s no wonder I smelled a familiar fragrance on her.
It must have been the same perfume or cosmetics that Tang Ge uses!”
Just as Lin Tian was about to withdraw his Divine Sense, he suddenly noticed the two women discussing something.
“Sister Wan, was the project with Baiying Group really signed like that?”
“Yeah, that little guy was too amazing back then.
I really think he must be from some big family’s Young Master!
Even though he strenuously denied it, my intuition tells me he might be from Yanjing or somewhere over there…”
“Hehe, Sister Wan, are you smitten?
I’ll have to meet the person who’s been such a great help to us when I’m free!”
“Stop talking nonsense…
He’s so young, I don’t want to be accused of cradle-snatching!
But if you want to meet him, I’ll introduce you when there’s a chance.
Getting to know more people will add strength to our expansion of channels!
As for his name, hehe, I’ll keep it a secret for now!”
I want to see who this extraordinary person is that has Sister Wan so endlessly praising him!”
Hearing their conversation, Lin Tian was astonished; did he really need an introduction?
Everyone already knew each other well!
However, thinking about how Xu Tangge didn’t want too many people to know about their relationship yet, Lin Tian decided it was best to avoid meeting Shi Mowan.
If he messed up his mom’s mission because of this, he was certain to get an earful.
After Shi Mowan sent Xu Tangge to the Lake Island and left, Lin Tian slowly drove in.
Walking into the villa’s living room, Xu Tangge looked up from the sofa and said helplessly, “You didn’t seem this violent back in school, yet just two days into the company, you’ve already beaten up your department head twice; pretty impressive!”
“Such scum in the company, tossing him out the door is letting him off easy!”
Lin Tian curled his lip and quickly changed the subject, “There are some people who have appeared recently, and they might be harmful to you, so be careful!
Also, if possible, think about where your grandfather might have put those things, or just directly ask the man himself!”
“I have thought about many possible hiding places before to no avail.
As for my grandfather, if he has hidden them, he definitely doesn’t want me to know!”
Xu Tangge shook her head slightly and added, “Don’t worry, those people are after the items, they won’t harm me easily!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
That night, after Xu Tangge had gone to sleep, Lin Tian returned to the basement to practice his cultivation.
The Spiritual Spring hidden on Guanlan Lake Middle Island constantly emitted Spiritual Energy.
Although it was weak, it was still beneficial to Lin Tian’s current stage of Cultivation.
Even now, at the Eleventh Layer Heaven Defying Realm, which required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy, his Cultivation was still slowly improving, and reaching the Eleventh Layer Perfect level was just a matter of time.
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Tian followed Xu Tangge early to the company.
Stepping into the elevator, Lin Tian thought about finishing the million-dollar sales task assigned by Zhao Wu as soon as possible, taking You Siyan with him in the next couple of days.
But right after leaving the elevator, his mobile phone began to ring.
Seeing the name on the incoming call on his mobile phone, Lin Tian looked around, and then walked to a secluded staircase to answer the call.
“Lin Tian, did you go to Flying Emperor Agent Company yesterday?”
As the call connected, Gu WanYin’s textured voice immediately rushed in with a question.
I’m currently an employee at a company, sort of like an internship, and yesterday we went to collect a debt.
Lin Tian was surprised by Gu WanYin’s words; the National Security Bureau wasn’t investigating his business affairs, surely?
After all, he was the Deputy Leader of the Superpower Group.
Why are you so impulsive!”
Gu WanYin’s words carried a hint of frustration as she scolded Lin Tian, “Even if these people are up to no good, there’s no need to kill them, is there?
Everyone at Flying Emperor, except Hong Jinglong who escaped, is dead!
You’ve been given the authority to act first and report later, but that doesn’t mean you can just kill people indiscriminately!
If we hadn’t locked down the news, this could’ve become a big issue when the higher-ups start asking questions…”
Everyone except Hong Jinglong is dead?
Lin Tian’s expression changed, his eyes narrowing.
Upon reflection, he immediately understood; someone was causing trouble!
Either they were targeting him or they were targeting Xu Tangge!
