Chapter 64: Taking Advantage? Lin Guoqiang’s Roar!
Su Lin, along with Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu, were chatting and laughing, unaware that they were being followed.
They were discussing the specifics of their supermarkets grand opening, so their attention wasnt on the car trailing them. Lin Xiaowan never imagined that Lin Guoqiang would come to pick her up from school.
After about fifteen minutes, Tian Weis expression changed, Guoqiang, this road doesnt look familiar, its heading towards the development zone.
Lin Guoqiang waved his hand dismissively, No matter where they go, just follow them. Today, I want to see what Xiaowan is really up to.
Alright, but remember Xiaowan is a sensible girl. Dont get too angry.
Hmph!
Sensible? I thought Xiaowan was sensible before I came here today, but now Im not so sure, Lin Guoqiang said, barely containing his anger. He felt like he could slaughter Su Lin at that moment, his fury mounting.
Seeing Lin Guoqiangs state, Tian Wei sighed but said nothing. He understood why Lin Guoqiang was so angry hed be furious too if his daughter acted this way.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Su Lins group parked in front of the supermarket, which was under renovation.
Theyve stopped. Hey, this place is being renovated. What are these kids doing here? Tian Wei was surprised, looking at the building under construction.
Lin Guoqiang was also puzzled, but he remained silent, choosing to continue observing. He knew the truth would soon reveal itself.
Su Lin, Ill go check todays financial situation with Xiao Juan, said Xia Shiyu.
Go ahead, Xiaoyu, Su Lin waved her off.
Okay~!!!
As Xia Shiyu left, the foreman approached with two helmets, Boss Su, youre here to check the progress again?
Su Lin took the helmet and handed one to Lin Xiaowan, Yeah, we had some free time today, so we came to check. Hows the progress, Wang Gong? All going smoothly?
Wang Gong nodded, With the payment settled, the guys are working hard. Progress is fast.
Thats good. Well go in and have a look. You carry on with your work, and well call you if needed.
Okay~!!
Wang Gong didnt intend to chat more with Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, mostly due to the age and perspective gap.
Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, holding pre-prepared blueprints, entered the supermarket.
Guoqiang, are they supervising the work? Tian Wei asked uncertainly.
The scene surprised him. Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, both senior high school students, were starting a business?
Lin Guoqiang was surprised too, It must be Su Zhenguos sons doing. Xiaowan wouldnt have such a grand idea. Getting her involved in school activities is one thing, but starting a business? Shes still too young for that.
Tian Wei nodded in agreement, Should we get out and have a look?
Lin Guoqiang fell silent. Go over there and then what? Let Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin continue their venture, or take Lin Xiaowan home?
Throughout the trip, Lin Xiaowans smile never faded, clearly enjoying herself. If he intervened, it would either mean letting go or taking her home both undesirable options.
Lets just watch for now, Ah Wei. Later, check out whats going on here. Such a big building cant be just for play. Let me know once you find out.
Okay, Ill have someone ask around.
Lin Guoqiang nodded, deciding it was best not to intervene rashly for now, waiting to act once he had a clearer picture.
Unbeknownst to Lin Guoqiang, he would soon deeply regret not taking Lin Xiaowan home today.
Su Lin, isnt it a bit much to have two freezers here?
Su Lin shook his head, Definitely not. The freezers are not just for drinks. We need to store various frozen and bean products here.
Oh~!
This area will be for vegetables, pork, etc. And shelves over here~!! f(r)ee
Listening to Su Lins explanations, Lin Xiaowan began to visualize the layout. She found Su Lins placement methods innovative yet efficient in utilizing all available space.
Boss Su, are you here to push the progress again? Boss Su, dont worry, well definitely finish by the 25th. No need to come every day.
Su Lin laughed, Were not here to rush you today, just planning the layout. Uncle Liu, just do your job well.
Alright, working for you is really comfortable, Boss Su good refreshments and high wages.
Hehe, then, Uncle Liu, make sure you deliver quality work worthy of my tea money.
Dont worry, we never take on shoddy projects.
As Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan left, they faintly heard the staff chatting comments about how handsome Su Lin was and how elegant Lin Xiaowan appeared, seemingly a perfect match.
Su Lin gently nudged Lin Xiaowan, Did you hear that?
Hear what? fr(e)e
They said we make a great couple, a match made in heaven. They were so loud, dont tell me you didnt hear them.
So what if I did? They also said you and Xiaoyu are a perfect match.
Whack~! Su Lin slapped Lin Xiaowans backside.
Su Lin!!!! Lin Xiaowan glared at him, as if to say if he didnt explain himself, shed have it out with him.
Hmph, thats for your punishment. Dont forget what you promised me not to get jealous or make fun of me with Xiaoyu.
But you cant cant hit me like that~!! Lin Xiaowan protested, clearly upset.
I let it slide once or twice, but youve been teasing me these past few days. Remember, I, Su Lin, also have a temper. But I must say, Xiaowan, youre quite bouncy, makes me want to smack again Su Lin said with a mischievous smile.
Go to hell~!! Lin Xiaowan kicked his leg.
Ouch~! Xiaowan, youre quite strong, you nearly wrecked my leg.
Stop it, your bones are as hard as iron. A kick from me wont hurt you, but it hurts my foot, Lin Xiaowan grumbled.
Su Lin chuckled. His physique had become much stronger compared to Lin Xiaowans gentleness, almost like iron indeed.
Im warning you, dont hit me casually, or Ill get angry.
Su Lin shrugged, Then you also need to stop joking about me and Xiaoyu, especially when were together.
Ill try
Then Ill try too
After touring the three floors and planning the placement of goods and aisles, they left the supermarket.
Su Lin looked at the supermarket, somewhat troubled.
Whats wrong? Any other issues?
Su Lin nodded, Indeed, were missing an elevator. Having an elevator would surely increase foot traffic. Not many supermarkets in Donghai have one. If we have it in Zhongjiang, itll be quite prestigious.
But youre opening in just over ten days. Its not easy to buy an elevator domestically on such short notice.
Su Lin nodded, Thats a problem, but not an unsolvable one. He thought of Li Hongyang, Su Zhenguos right-hand man, who could surely contact an elevator manufacturer.
But isnt your budget too tight for an elevator?
Su Lin shook his head, Definitely not. Xiaowan, I owe it to you for saving me two hundred thousand. Two hundred thousand for an elevator, maybe a little more, should be enough.
Unaware of current elevator prices, Su Lin assumed two hundred thousand would suffice for a two-story elevator.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaowan beamed with pride, Thats right without me, they might not have sold to you even for a million. You should open more companies for me.
Su Lin laughed, Not even a penny in wages.
Bang~!!
Why the horseplay, why kick me?
Its your fault for teasing me. I saved you so much money, busy day and night with you, and you wont pay me wages. Thats like treating me as free labor, Lin Xiaowan said, slightly angry.
Though she hadnt thought about wages, Su Lins blunt words still upset her.
Su Lin immediately stepped forward, took Lin Xiaowans hand, pinched her nose, and said with a smile, You fool, dont forget were starting a business together. Paying wages wont work.
No wages, but shares, yes. Ive prepared them for you, Xiaoyu, and Chen Yang.
Meanwhile, in an Audi across the street, Lin Guoqiang roared in a textbook fashion, That brat, daring to take advantage of my daughter!!!
