"Yes, Pavilion Master, you must avenge me. That brat is too arrogant, he completely disregarded us," the hall manager reported indignantly.
"What is his name? Where does he live?"
A cold glint appeared in the Pavilion Master's eyes as she asked sternly.
"He seems to be called Xiao Tian, and he's from the Chu Group," the hall manager continued.
"Chu Group? Chu Nianxue?"
The Pavilion Master showed a hint of surprise. She had some impression of Chu Nianxue, having seen her at an antique exhibition before.
Although they had no interaction, she still had some recollection of Chu Nianxue.
She felt that Chu Nianxue was not an evil person.
"It should be, the brat asked Sun Qian to find him at the Chu Group before he left. Pavilion Master, I suggest we immediately let me take people to the Chu Group and capture that brat."
The hall manager's anger had not subsided. He knew that once the Pavilion Master sent people, she would send top experts.
However, the Pavilion Master did not listen to his plan. Instead, she looked at him curiously and asked, "What does Sun Qian have to do with this matter? Could it be that she knows that person?"
"This... yes, yes, she was the one who brought that brat to our shop." The hall manager's eyes darted around. He knew he had let slip, but he dared not conceal it.
"Bring Sun Qian here."
The Pavilion Master was not angry but suspicious. Sun Qian was a capable artisan she had personally recruited. Although she appeared to be just a waitress, she kept Sun Qian in the shop for a significant purpose.
After all, she was a descendant of those who could forge antiques. In the entire Songzhou City, few people could surpass her skill in antique forgery. She often dealt with antiques, and perhaps one day she could put her to use.
Soon, Sun Qian was brought in by the hall manager. The moment she saw the Pavilion Master, she immediately knelt respectfully and greeted her, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."
"You may rise."
The Pavilion Master responded indifferently. After Sun Qian stood up, she asked curiously, "Manager Zhang just told me that you brought a young man to our shop today, and he even hit our staff. Is this true?"
"Pavilion Master, please spare Brother Xiao Tian."
Sun Qian thought the Pavilion Master was going to trouble Lin Xiao Tian and was immediately frightened. She kowtowed to the Pavilion Master repeatedly and reported truthfully, "Brother Xiao Tian is my benefactor. He saved me today when I was captured by people from the Zhao family."
"He hit someone just now because Manager Zhang disrespected him first, and he also spoke up for Bai Yu Long, asking me to accompany Bai Yu Long. Brother Xiao Tian happened to see this scene and intervened."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this explanation, the Pavilion Master's icy gaze instantly fell upon the hall manager, and she snorted, "Manager Zhang, that's not what you told me just now. Isn't that Xiao Tian a wicked person?"
"Why does Sun Qian say he is a righteous person?"
"Pavilion Master, don't believe Sun Qian. Everything she says is false. That brat is indeed wicked and doesn't put our Langyun Pavilion in his eyes. You must investigate clearly and help me get revenge."
Manager Zhang's eyes darted around. He refused to admit guilt and continued to explain to the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master's expression turned cold. Just as she was about to ask Sun Qian more, the phone on the desk rang. She picked it up directly, "Hello, who is it?"
"Pavilion Master Shao, hello, I hope you are well. I am calling you because I need your help with something..."
An old man's voice came from the other end of the phone. After the Pavilion Master listened, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise, "Who did you just say? The person you want me to help is Lin Xiao Tian? Or Chu Nianxue's husband from the Chu Group?"
Boom!
Hearing this, Manager Zhang's face changed drastically.
He didn't know who was on the phone, but he had a very ominous premonition that something bad was about to happen to him.
A moment later, Shao Hongyu hung up the phone, her icy expression now filled with anger.
She slammed the table hard and glared at Manager Zhang, "What did you tell me just now? What kind of person is Lin Xiao Tian?"
"Pavilion Master, I... I..."
"Summon my men."
Before Manager Zhang could explain, Pavilion Master Shao coldly called her subordinates in. She pointed at the hall manager and coldly ordered, "Take him out and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves."
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
The subordinate nodded, decisively approached Manager Zhang, and dragged him away.
Manager Zhang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted, "Pavilion Master, spare me! Pavilion Master, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again..."
No matter how he shouted, Shao Binghong paid no attention.
When the office became quiet again, she smiled at Sun Qian and said, "Alright, you may rise. Lin Xiao Tian is my friend from today onwards, and I will naturally not harm him."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, thank you, Pavilion Master." Sun Qian couldn't help but thank her excitedly.
Shao Hongyu nodded slightly. She was very puzzled at the moment. Why would that old man suddenly contact her and ask her to help Lin Xiao Tian?
Was something big about to happen in Songzhou City?
And who was Lin Xiao Tian to that old man?
After coming back to her senses, she instructed Sun Qian again, "By the way, Sun Qian, help me run an errand later. Go and select some high-quality jade stones and send them to the Chu Group. Say that these are gifts from our Langyun Pavilion to wish Mr. Lin and Miss Chu a long and happy life together."
"I, I understand."
Only then did Sun Qian realize that Lin Xiao Tian already had a girlfriend.
The affection she had developed for Lin Xiao Tian earlier would ultimately have no outcome.
After agreeing, she bid farewell to Shao Hongyu and turned to leave the office.
As for Lin Xiao Tian.
After leaving Langyun Pavilion, he got into his car and first transferred two hundred billion to Qin Zhentian. He called him to inform him that the funds had arrived. Qin Zhentian also told him that the batch of antique treasures had been delivered to the Chu Group and that he should rest assured.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao Tian leaned back in his seat with satisfaction and took a short nap in the car. He soon returned to the Chu Group.
"Wow, Mr. Lin is here. He looks so handsome today."
"Exactly. Our Madam Chu really knows how to choose people, finding such a capable and handsome man. I wish I could marry him too."
"Our Madam Chu's taste is truly impeccable. Since Mr. Lin joined the company, our company is almost ready to go public."
As soon as Lin Xiao Tian returned to the company, he saw many female employees looking at him with admiration and awe, as if something had happened in the company.
They had seen him often before, but they had never looked at him like this!
He greeted the employees along the way and, with curiosity, arrived at Chu Nianxue's office.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw the treasures from the Qin family's exhibition, now neatly arranged in front of Chu Nianxue.
Her face was full of joy, a smile he had never seen before!
