Chapter 271 Lucky Star 6

I remember when the two of them were having lunch, Grandpa Tang called his grandson. Because Tang Jiayou had the phone on speakerphone, he heard it all clearly.

The old man said he met a very lucky girl today; if it weren't for her, he would have bought a haunted house today.

They also sent over a photo of the girl, asking Tang Jiayou to add her to the "Lucky Star Green Bubble" group.

Tang Jiayou didn't understand his grandfather's thought process. He showed him the photo, and he remembered it very clearly. The girl in the photo was very beautiful. She was sitting on the sofa with her head tilted to the side, handing water to Grandpa Tang.

But he simply couldn't associate her with any kind of lucky star.

But now, he believes it!

Without her pulling him, his head would probably have been smashed to pieces by that huge sign.

"Sorry I wrinkled your clothes. I'll be going now if you're done."

Ning Yan offered a half-hearted apology and then turned to leave.

Nie Jiu instinctively grabbed the woman's arm. "Madam, please wait a moment. My name is Nie Jiu, and I'm the owner of this shop. Would you mind leaving me your phone number?"

Ning Yan: What?

"This signboard didn't just fall down for no reason. If you hadn't pulled me up, I might be lying here today."

We definitely need to call the police about this today. I'm leaving my phone number so I can contact you.

Ning Yan was very easy to talk to; she gave him her phone number and even added him on WeChat (Green Bubble).

She was busy and didn't want to get in the way, so she put away her phone and left.

After she left, Nie Jiu really called the police.

Such a heavy signboard, properly nailed to the second-floor balcony, couldn't possibly have fallen down by sheer coincidence. Thinking of some things at home, Nie Jiu pursed her lips.

Tang Jiayou: "Could it be that your partner can't wait any longer?"

Grandpa Nie hasn't been feeling well lately, and the whole family has been rushing to the hospital to try and take care of him, hoping that his will will include a larger share for them.

Why are they trying to curry favor with Brother Jiu when they're also scheming against him?

"I don't know, maybe it was just an accident."

The police arrived quickly and, after investigating, discovered that it really wasn't an accident!

“These nails all show signs of being loosened by someone, but we can’t figure out how the murderer knew when you would be going out and then had the sign smashed down?”

The staff in the trace evidence department were puzzled.

It was windy today, and the screws had come loose. The signboard was very heavy, and it just happened to fall down when Nie Jiu came out of the store. The question is, how did it fall at such a coincidence?

No matter how capable or calculating the murderer is, even if they can predict when the signboard will fall down, they can't predict when Nie Jiu will come out of the store, right?

After listening for a while, Nie Jiu finally spoke up, "Is it possible that the other party just wants something to happen to my shop? He doesn't care who gets smashed, as long as the signboard hits someone?"

I was just the unluckiest one; I just happened to be there at the right time.

Hong Suo: "You mean this could be a business competition? Then our focus of investigation will be different."

Business competition and premeditated murder are two completely different things.

However, he couldn't rule out that possibility.

After the police finished their inspection and took photos as evidence, they left. Nie Jiu went with them to give a statement.

It was already evening when I got home, and Tang Jiayou had already gone home.

At that moment, he also thought of Ning Yan.

I remember Grandpa Tang saying she works at a real estate agency. How about I go buy a house tomorrow?

He messaged Tang Jiayou to ask for Ning Yan's work address, and the next day, he actually went there.

But the chubby manager told him that Ning Yan had resigned yesterday.

As soon as Nie Jiu got back to the car, she called Ning Yan.

"Ms. Ning, you resigned?"

"Hmm, hmm? How did you know?"

"Would you be interested in working at my company? What did you major in at university? My company can find you a satisfactory position."

The original owner studied planning, the kind where you write a proposal, the client makes you revise it eleven times, and in the end they still choose the first version.

This isn't repaying a debt of gratitude; it's clearly repaying kindness with enmity.

In any case, Ning Yan can't do it at all!

So she refused.

"I'm so tired of clocking in and out at work every day, don't make me suffer!"

"If you don't want to come to my company, would you be willing to help me manage that seafood restaurant? The monthly salary is 50,000 yuan, and you don't have to do anything. You just need to sit in the restaurant every day."

"If the store does well, you get a commission. How about it?"

Ning Yan: "Can we eat seafood whenever we want?"

Nie Jiu immediately laughed, "Of course."

"Deal! Thanks, boss! Don't worry, I'll definitely be on time for work every day."

She earns 50,000 yuan a month, plus free seafood, which is much more than she makes from painting. Besides, painting is only a temporary job, and the business is unstable. Sometimes she earns a lot, and sometimes she might not make a single sale all day.

Nie Jiu: "See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Jiu opened the work group and sent out the work assignments.

The manager of Zijin Yunding was completely bewildered.

Did the boss find a vice president for the store or arrange for a tyrant to come along?

First, don't bother the vice president with any work.

In other words, the vice president's job is to not work.

Secondly, any request from the vice president must be immediately carried out by all store employees, including the general manager.

In other words, the general manager is nominally the top executive in the store, but the vice president is above him.

The third vice president should report any issues to the boss immediately.

Manager: He's the spy planted next to the vice president.

From another perspective, he was also one of the boss's confidants.

Anyway, the boss pays a lot of money, so he's not afraid of his shop being ruined. What does a small manager like him have to worry about? He should just do what the boss asks.

...

Ning Yan arrived at the company at nine o'clock sharp the next day. As a vice president, she had her own private office. The manager was also very considerate and personally decorated the vice president's office, and thoughtfully prepared fruits and snacks for her. After helping her complete the onboarding process, he took her on a tour of the store.

The entire Zijin Cloud Top has four floors, with 18 private rooms and 42 tables.

When the store is at its busiest, you have to wait in line for a table to be turned over.

Ning Yan walked around for a bit and then returned to her office on the fourth floor.

I learned from the manager that Nie Jiu was the owner of the Muxin Building next door, and also the eldest son of the Nie family in City A.

Zijin Yunding was opened for the convenience of the boss's dining.

The world of the wealthy is always so simple and unpretentious.

Around noon, Ning Yan, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest, was woken up by a phone call. She picked it up and saw: Boss.

She quickly answered the call.

"Come down, let's have dinner together, in room 318."

Ning Yan glanced at the time; it was twelve o'clock.

Ning Yan sat up from the sofa, washed her face, and went to room 318.

Besides Nie Jiu, Tang Jiayou, who had sensed his brother's intentions, was also in the private room—he admitted that he was there to watch the show!

As the eldest son of the Nie family, the president and largest shareholder of Muxin Group, he has never lacked outstanding women since childhood, yet he has never been seen to care about any of them.
