Chapter 126: Lin Tian Strikes, Endless Cunning Tricks!
After arranging everything with Liu Da and others, Su Lin called Zhao Yanyan over. Surprised at her mature look, different from her usual youthful style, Su Lin commented, “Yanyan, you look much more mature in this outfit.”
“Oh, do you think so? I chose it specially. How do you feel about it?” Zhao Yanyan twirled in front of Su Lin.
Su Lin nodded, “Very good, your legs look long.”
“You only think my legs are long, nothing else?” Zhao Yanyan said amusedly.
“No, no, no, besides long legs, Yanyan is also beautiful. It’s just a pity that your chest is a bit small,” Su Lin said with a look of regret.
“Okay, enough of that, tell me why you called me here.”
Su Lin smiled, “What else? Just a reminder that something unexpected might happen at our supermarket tomorrow. Be prepared.”
“What kind of unexpected situation?” Zhao Yanyan asked nervously.
Su Lin shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“Ah! If you don’t know, then why do you say something big will happen?”
“Ah! The reason is simple. I poached their renovation team.”
“What? You poached their renovation team?”
Su Lin nodded, “Could I lie to you about this? Yes, I really did. With the supermarket continuing to expand, it’s not practical to look for renovation teams everywhere, so I decided to poach theirs.”
“But we could have used the previous team for renovations. Why poach theirs?”
“The reason is simple: to strike at a competitor. See, now it will take him at least a few days to find a new team. And with no night work, such a large supermarket can’t be renovated in a month, so they’ll definitely suffer a loss this time.”
Zhao Yanyan sighed, “No wonder you told me to be careful tomorrow. If I were in his place, I would be angry and seek revenge too.”
“Heh! That’s a business competition for you. Wait and see tomorrow. You’ll have to react accordingly. Make sure the security and surveillance are in top shape.”
Zhao Yanyan nodded, “The surveillance cameras we use in the supermarket are the most advanced ultra-clear ones available, so there won’t be any blurriness.”
“Alright, that’s it then. You go ahead with your work.”
…
Indeed, Su Lin’s prediction was spot on. The next morning, Lin Tian’s retaliation began. First, there were arguments in the supermarket, followed by a fight over eggs involving elderly people.
Lin Tian’s tactics were unending, and despite Zhao Yanyan’s preparations, she was still overwhelmed by the situation.
In the surveillance room, Su Lin and Xia Shiyu watched two older women fighting. When Zhao Yanyan tried to intervene, one of the women pulled her, causing her to fall to the ground.
“These women… How can they do this? Yanyan was just trying to help, and they don’t listen, so ungrateful!” Xia Shiyu said angrily.
Su Lin clicked his tongue, “These older women are natural actors. If it was a security guard who went over, they would have been lying on the ground already, believe it or not?”
“Ah! So, you mean they’re doing this on purpose?” Xia Shiyu quickly grasped the possibility.
Su Lin nodded, “Definitely. And these two women must know each other.”
“What should we do now? We can’t let them continue fighting.”
Su Lin, sipping tea, said, “No hurry, there will be others. It can’t be this mild.”
Soon after Su Lin’s comment, a few shady-looking young men entered, wreaking havoc in the rice section, mixing green beans with rice, and then soybeans, creating chaos.
Su Lin picked up the walkie-talkie, “Catch those troublemakers in the rice area. If they resist, hit them.”
The guards, already on high alert from previous warnings, swiftly detained the young men.
“What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?”
“Slap!” A guard slapped one of the troublemakers across the face.
The troublemaker began to shout, “Murder! The guards at Quan Le Gou are killing someone!”
“Hit them until they can’t speak anymore. Aim for the mouth,” Su Lin ordered calmly over the walkie-talkie. With Su Lin’s command, the guards acted more efficiently, striking decisively.
“Slap!”
“Murde…”
“Slap!!”
“Murde…”
“Slap!!”
“Wuwuwu… stop hitting me.”
Seeing the situation, Su Lin smiled satisfactorily. To deal with these hoodlums, reasoning was futile; they needed to be physically subdued. Otherwise, it would just lead to endless arguing and possibly having to pay them off to avoid further trouble.
“Take them to the back for a continued beating, then send them to the police station.”
Following Su Lin’s order, the guards dragged the troublemakers towards the back door. The two bickering old ladies, seeing this, were stunned.
Although they were paid to create a scene, they dared not mess with these guards. If they were beaten like that, they would lose all respect in Donghai.
Zhao Yanyan seized the opportunity to break up the fight. The old ladies exchanged glances, both understanding it was time to leave. They had received their payment and acted their part; it was time to go. So, they quickly paid for their items and left.
Xia Shiyu, relieved to see them go, finally relaxed. But Su Lin’s brows were still furrowed. He didn’t believe that a business tycoon like Lin Tian would let things end so simply.
As expected, it wasn’t long before several thieves with sly looks entered the supermarket. They swiftly stole seven or eight wallets and even slashed some bags.
Su Lin ordered their capture and notified the victims for consolation. Zhao Yanyan was frantically busy all morning until the crowd thinned. She then came to the surveillance room, “Su Lin, have those people been sent to the police station?”
She was extremely angry. The morning had been filled with seemingly trivial but reputation-damaging incidents. She was utterly frustrated.
Su Lin nodded, “They’ve been sent. Luckily, our surveillance covers everything, so we don’t have to worry about evidence.”
“Hmph! I’m going to call my dad right away and find out who’s behind this. If I find out, they’ll regret it.”
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, “Really? You might know the person behind it.”
“Huh? What do you mean, Su Lin? I feel like there’s more to your words. Do you know who it is?” Zhao Yanyan looked at Su Lin, surprised.
Su Lin nodded, “If nothing goes wrong, it should be Lin Tian.”
“Lin Tian? How is that possible? He’s just a high school graduate. How could he do such a thing?” Zhao Yanyan, despite her dislike for Lin Tian, still thought him incapable of such lowly acts, considering his recent graduation.
“Yanyan, aren’t you also the manager of a supermarket at just eighteen? Soon, you’ll be the district manager of Donghai.”
“But I…”
“There’s no ‘but’. Trust me, you won’t be able to find out who’s really behind this, but it’s easy to check the owner of the opposing supermarket. Ask your dad to investigate; it’s definitely Lin Tian.” Su Lin spoke with certainty.
“Huuh!! Su… Su Lin, are you serious?”
Su Lin nodded solemnly.
Hearing this, Zhao Yanyan’s face fell. She felt that if this was true, then Lin Tian must be targeting Su Lin out of spite for her rejection, as Lin Tian liked her. But instead of using fair business tactics, he chose such a disgraceful method.
Su Lin cautioned, “Yanyan, today is just the beginning. Trust me, this afternoon might be even busier.”
“It’s best if you ask your dad to send a few people over. I won’t be here to help you this afternoon; you’ll have to handle everything yourself.”
“Ah! Where will you be this afternoon?”
“Me?… Of course, what comes around goes around. I’m going to help the workers demand their wages.”
