Chapter 121: So Busy Playing That You Forgot About the Opening?

Su Lin didn’t dwell much on the little incident with Zhao Yanyan. Since she was already in his company, he didn’t think she could escape his influence.

After dealing with company matters, Su Lin went to enjoy himself in Donghai with Xia Shiyu. Zhao Yanyan, stuck working overtime in the company, couldn’t help but pout every time she thought of Xia Shiyu and Su Lin having fun at various places, while she was confined to the office.

After all, Su Lin was the boss, and Xia Shiyu was the boss’s wife, whereas she was just an employee.

One day, Su Lin received a report from Li Hongyang’s subordinate about all of Lin Tian’s recent activities. He couldn’t help but smile when he saw Lin Tian getting along well with Luo Sihai, the chairman of Sihai Group, and even striking a deal.

“This is the kind of treatment a protagonist deserves. Lin Tian knows all sorts of secrets from the past twenty years, and on top of that, he’s a business magnate himself.”

“Plus, with his protagonist halo, wouldn’t Luo Sihai be eager to please him? I’m all too familiar with these tropes,” Su Lin mused.

“Sihai Group’s Luo Sihai, he’s going to be one of my opponents, huh?” Su Lin murmured.

Although he hadn’t been in Donghai for long, he had heard about Sihai Group numerous times. Sihai Hotel, Sihai Chain Internet Cafés, Sihai Bars – Sihai Group’s presence was everywhere in Donghai, rivaling even the Su’s Construction and Industrial Group.

Luo Sihai, the chairman of the company, was known to be ruthless. Rumor had it that he had committed murder during his rise to power.

The police investigated but found nothing conclusive, and Luo Sihai, with his daring and aggressive tactics, had firmly established his foothold in Donghai.

With Lin Tian getting close to Luo Sihai, Su Lin anticipated future confrontations with Luo. “Looks like I need to prepare some extra funds. Maybe I’ll make some money in the stock market soon. I’ll play fair in business, but if Lin Tian pulls any dirty tricks, I can only apologize in advance.”

Su Lin hadn’t had much chance to use his Eight Extreme Fist skills and was curious about his own strength. Now, with Lin Tian and Luo Sihai joining forces, he felt that an opportunity to use his skills might arise soon.

Su Lin and Xia Shiyu went to the securities trading office to open an account, preparing for his first foray into stock trading.

“Are you really planning to trade stocks?” Xia Shiyu asked skeptically.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Su Lin nodded, “It’s quite boring staying at home all summer. I’ll trade stocks to earn some pocket money.”

“But I’ve heard that trading stocks is like gambling. Nine out of ten people lose,” Xia Shiyu said worriedly.

Su Lin laughed, “Xiaoyu, don’t you trust my abilities?”

Shaking her head, Xia Shiyu replied, “Although I don’t know much about stocks, I’m aware that it’s not just about skills. The stock market is unpredictable. I heard that many people in Xiangjiang committed suicide after losing in the stock market last year.”

“That’s settled then.”

After hanging up, Xia Shiyu giggled from the side.

“What are you laughing at, Xiaoyu?”

“Hehe, I heard everything you and Yanyan said. Su Lin, you even forgot the opening day?” Xia Shiyu looked at him with amusement.

“Cough cough... I didn’t forget, I just thought it wasn’t necessary to bother about it, you know?”

“Ah! Is there anything more important than the supermarket’s opening?” Xia Shiyu asked, somewhat bewildered.

Su Lin nodded, “Of course.”

“What is it?”

“It’s spending time with our Xiaoyu, of course.”

“Su Lin...”

“Xiaoyu, let’s not go home just yet. Let’s head to a shopping mall.”

“Ah! Su Lin, do you need to buy something?”

Su Lin smiled, “Tomorrow is the grand opening. We can’t go dressed like this.”

Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin, dressed in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops, then at herself in a skirt and t-shirt, agreeing that they indeed didn’t look like company executives.

“Oh! You’re right. We don’t look like company bosses at all.”

“Hehe... let’s go then, we’ll buy some clothes.”

“Okay!!”

Su Lin and Xia Shiyu headed to the nearest mall.
