The father-in-law praised He Qianqian while dragging Lin Tian into the house; clearly, he was thrilled about Lin Tian's proposal and really hoped his daughter could marry Lin Tian.
Lin Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he owed his father-in-law ten thousand thumbs-up. If his father-in-law hadn't shown up in ti, he would have been dood.
He Qianqian was fuming at the side, her teeth itching with irritation, while her mother simply dragged her off to cook. For the mont, she was powerless and could only temporarily let Lin Tian off the hook.
Seeing He Qianqian cooking, Lin Tian finally relaxed. He quietly found He Dong, who was shirtless, looking in the mirror, laboriously applying red potion to a bruise.
Seeing the bruises all over, Lin Tian felt heartache.
"I'll help you apply it." Lin Tian stepped forward and snatched the red potion.
He Dong, seeing that Lin Tian was unhard, looked at him in astonishnt and whispered, "Brother-in-law, didn't my sister thrash you?"
"How could she not have? That attitude, even fiercer than when she pinches you. But at the critical mont, your parents ca back, and my sister was too embarrassed to continue, so she let off."
"Brother-in-law, you're really lucky. I'm so envious of you."
"Be envious then. Actually, I feel pretty lucky too."
...,....
He might have escaped temporarily, but he couldn't escape forever. That evening, unable to stand the loneliness, Lin Tian went to find He Qianqian and ended up getting a thorough beating before things went as expected.
The task from Nidhogg was incoming, and Lin Tian dared not stay in Yunhai any longer. The next day, he proposed leaving Yunhai and returning to Wu'an City.
Of course, he very formally invited He Dong and his father-in-law to go and enjoy their lives in Wu'an City.
He Dong was only too eager, but the old couple seed not accustod to city life and stubbornly refused to go. Helpless, Lin Tian had to abandon the idea.
The old couple were both in their fifties or sixties. With He Qianqian and He Dong gone, they would be very lonely, so she decided to stay and spend more ti with her parents to fulfill her filial duties.
He Qianqian deciding to stay put Lin Tian in a reluctant position for reasons you could guess!
But He Dong was overjoyed; with He Qianqian staying in the hotown, no one would monitor what he and Lin Tian did outside.
Thinking about it made He Dong happy and excited!
The next day, Lin Tian took He Dong, Wang Ying, and Fang Shaoxiong to the airport.
Before leaving, He Qianqian took Lin Tian and He Dong to the airport, reluctantly giving them a bunch of needless nagging. Finally, she warned Lin Tian not to lead He Dong astray.
Lin Tian agreed readily, and then everyone boarded the plane together.
"Wow, brother-in-law, this is my first ti on a plane in my life!"
"Do you like the feeling of flying?"
"I love it, just look at those blue skies and white clouds below, so beautiful. If I could fly every day, it would be simply heavenly."
"Alright, He Dong, in a few days, your brother-in-law will let you enjoy flying a few tis. I'll buy you a private jet."
"Haha, brother-in-law, you're the best."
...,....
Having returned to Wu'an City, Lin Tian arranged for Fang Shaoxiong and He Dong to stay in a high-end hotel. He then took Wang Ying and went to find Shen ngyi.
As he pushed open the door to Shen ngyi's office, he saw her busily flipping through docunts. She appeared to have lost weight in just a few days; managing such a large company was imnsely fatiguing.
Looking around and not seeing Bu ngting, he thought to himself, with Shen ngyi this busy, where had ngting run off to? Why hadn't she thought to co and help Shen ngyi?
At that mont, Shen ngyi noticed Lin Tian as well. Seeing him, her eyes clearly lit up with joy.
Lin Tian spoke first, sowhat boastfully, "How about it? I did a great job with the Lingzhi matter, didn't I? Seventy thousand per kilo, the lowest price in history."
"Mm, it is good. I really underestimated you," Shen ngyi said as she poured Lin Tian a cup of tea.
Lin Tian looked at the thick stack of docunts on the desk and said sympathetically, "ngyi, are you this busy every day? Take care of your health and don't wear yourself out."
"Not really, it's just these few days have been exceptionally busy. Oh, I have so good news for you." Shen ngyi pulled out a contract and handed it to Lin Tian.
It was a transfer contract.
Shen ngyi happily announced, "These last few days, Tianyi Pharma has officially partnered with the Shen Family Group. Moreover, my father has already put in full charge of the Shen Family Group. With our collaboration, the strength of the company has more than doubled."
Lin Tian gave her a thumbs-up, genuinely admiring how impressive it was for such a young girl who hadn't even graduated from college to achieve so much.
"And there's even better news. With the strong alliance between Tianyi Pharma and the Shen Family Group, the Wang family has gone bankrupt, Wang Zhenchuan has been caught for corruption, trafficking, and taking lives, and he's been arrested. It's only a matter of ti before he's sentenced to death. I've finally had my revenge. Whenever I think of Wang Zhenchuan, I get so angry—had you not saved back then, I would have...!"
Shen ngyi's face turned red, and she felt too embarrassed to continue. She looked at Lin Tian earnestly and said, "Lin Tian, everything I have today, I owe it all to you."
The more she talked, the more moving and emotional she beca. Eventually, she started crying.
Lin Tian quickly embraced her, "Don't cry, all of this is the result of your hard work. Believe in yourself, and you will continue to do better, but rember, your health is most important."
"Mmm!"
Shen ngyi nodded happily.
Lin Tian asked, "You just took over your father's company and you're so busy. Where is Bu ngting? Why isn't she helping you? That girl is becoming more and more thoughtless."
Shen ngyi rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and said, "Lin Tian, you are wronging her. Shen ngyi is not just any girl now. She is the owner of Wu'an City's largest jewelry store—'ngting Jewelry', a company worth several billions, and managing hundreds of employees!"
"Bu ngting, her? She's the owner of the largest jewelry store now?" Lin Tian looked incredulous.
Shen ngyi's achievents today were no accident. She grew up in the Shen family, influenced by her parents, so it was natural for her to be business-minded.
But Bu ngting... Lin Tian had grown up with her, and he knew exactly what Bu ngting was capable of. He could never have dread that Bu ngting could manage hundreds of employees.
"Tsk!"
"What about ngting? ngting might not have the talent, but she is diligent and learns quickly. I carefully considered making her the owner of the jewelry store, and ngting is doing well. In just over ten days after taking over, profits increased by two percent. Could you achieve such results in just ten days?"
Lin Tian, like a sulky kitten, shook his head. He was okay in combat, but managing a company was really not his forte!
Afterward, Shen ngyi looked at him with disdain, "Are all you n like this, looking down on your own won? If you think so little of them, why marry them? Arrogant and disdainful, n are all the sa!"
What was this all about? It was originally a minor issue, but how had it escalated into a wide-ranging problem about n and won?
Moreover, Shen ngyi seed to be in a worse temper than before.
When people are busy, they beco irritable.
Just then, an employee ca to report to work, and Lin Tian seized the opportunity to quickly make his escape.
Lin Tian disliked driving slowly, so he had hired a driver to drive the car back. The Ferrari had yet to arrive; it would only reach Wu'an City in the evening.
With no other choice, he had to take a taxi to ngting Jewelry.
The taxi drove for about twenty minutes when traffic suddenly beca congested. Sticking his head out to look, he was exasperated to see that it was completely jamd with vehicles.
The driver, frustrated, kept honking the horn, but it was utterly useless. The cars moved slower than ants.
The driver complained, "Damn, what's going on? This place was never jamd before! What are the traffic police doing, eating up taxpayers' money without doing their job?"
Lin Tian was also puzzled. This road was not a pri location, and it wasn't rush hour; even if there was a traffic jam, it shouldn't be this bad!
After waiting a minute or two, with the car not moving at all and more cars piling up behind them, the congestion worsened.
What was more infuriating was seeing bicycles zipping back and forth beside the BMWs and rcedes, with the cyclists wearing smug expressions as if to say to the drivers: see, your cars may be more expensive, but are they faster than mine?
Lin Tian couldn't wait any longer. He pulled out a hundred yuan and said, "Driver, I don't have change. Keep the change. I'll walk from here."
The fare displayed was only sixty-seven yuan, but Lin Tian had taken out a hundred, making the driver quite happy. He got out of the car enthusiastically, pointed not far off and said, "Sir, ngting Jewelry is about a kiloter away from here. Just walk forward and take a left, then..."
"That's fine, thank you, driver."
Lin Tian said goodbye and, following the driver's directions, headed for ngting Jewelry.
The further he walked, the more congested it got. The whole street was filled with vehicles, and so drivers, unwilling to stay in their cars, ca out to stand in groups of two or three. They looked ahead, discussing sothing.
Further on, he saw street vendors hurrying forward, as if drawn by the prospect of witnessing so excitent.
Lin Tian was puzzled and turned to look back just in ti to see a middle-aged man around fifty.
Lin Tian stopped him and asked, "Uncle, what happened up front? Was there an accident?"
The uncle replied, "I heard there's been a kidnapping! A beautiful businesswoman was taken hostage. The police have arrived and are in a standoff with the kidnappers. The kidnappers have guns, and the police can't do much about it."
"Beautiful businesswoman, up front, kidnapping!"
These three keywords linked together instantly made Lin Tian think of Bu ngting.
Lin Tian froze, rooted next to the uncle.
"Young man, why are you blocking ? I want to go see what's happening too. Let's go together...!" The uncle was sowhat anxious.
The uncle's words reminded Lin Tian.
"ngting!"
He shouted loudly and dashed forward recklessly, with speed that rivaled a sprint champion.
"This kid, his curiosity about the commotion is even greater than mine..." The uncle sighed and continued running forward!
