Tong Xiaohuai gestured for him to sit down, then watched him silently.
"What do you think I'll do to you?"
That tone, that expression, how could she be like an eighteen-year-old girl?
It was exactly the same as when Boss Tong wanted to punish people.
Li Lin broke out in a cold sweat, regretting her blindness and underestimation of the newly appointed leader, thinking she was just an innocent young girl.
"I will resign voluntarily! I am willing to bear all the losses this time."
Li Lin only hoped that this young lady wouldn't be too ruthless, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to establish himself in L City in the future.
Tong Xiaohuai smiled and said, "No, I don't need you to resign!"
Li Lin stared at her incredulously. Could she really be going to kill him?
"Young Miss, could you please spare my life, considering how devoted I was to the boss in the past?"
Li Lin is in his thirties and is currently looking for a house to prepare for his wedding with his girlfriend, who is ten years younger than him. If something happens at this crucial moment, he and his girlfriend might have to break up.
Tong Xiaohuai had a very clear understanding of her various supervisors and capable subordinates because she always remembered what her father had said.
“Xiao Huai, everyone has their weaknesses. You may not be able to beat them in a fight, but you can try to exploit their weaknesses.”
Li Lin's weakness is his young girlfriend.
"Brother Li, I'm planning to take over the sauna across the street and let you manage it. You can try out any good ideas you have. If it makes a profit of one million within a year, this whole thing will be wiped clean. Not only that, I'll also prepare a big gift for you as a wedding present."
Having worked alongside her father for so many years, Tong Xiaohuai knew firsthand how difficult it was to cultivate a loyal and capable manager. Therefore, she was unwilling to give him up hastily.
Li Lin was a smart man, and of course he knew that the wedding gift Tong Xiaohuai mentioned had a double meaning.
If he performs well this year, he will probably receive a very generous gift.
But if he makes a mistake or gets into trouble during the year, then this "gift" is something he absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Besides that truly lavish gift, there was also a very tempting offer in front of them.
He had always felt that the sauna across the street had great potential, but he had mentioned it to Boss Tong several times before without getting a positive response. Now that the new boss actually said he would take over the place and let him manage it, how could he possibly resist!
"Miss, thank you for giving me a chance to change! I promise you about the sauna!" Li Lin's attitude towards Tong Xiaohuai was now very different from before.
Tong Xiaohuai nodded, "Okay, I'll take over the sauna as soon as possible. I hope you won't let me down!"
Li Lin quickly assured her, "Please rest assured, Miss, I will definitely do my job well!"
Making a million in profit within a year was not a particularly difficult goal for him.
Then, he suddenly remembered a question, "Miss, what about the KTV area?"
Tong Xiaohuai didn't mention it, so he probably meant to be dismissed. Although it's a bit of a pity, he did make a mistake, and he deserved to be dismissed.
Tong Xiaohuai looked at him strangely, "Of course you're in charge! Do you think I'd let you have it so easy, just managing a small place like a sauna? If you don't make me more money, wouldn't it be a loss for me to give away this big gift a year later?"
Tong Xiaohuai's half-true, half-false statement relieved Li Lin.
It turns out I wasn't dismissed after all...
Moreover, judging from her words, she seemed very confident that she would be able to meet her expectations a year from now.
So it seems that in the young lady's eyes, I am actually quite capable, aren't I?
After the two reached a consensus, Tong Xiaohuai listened to his initial ideas about the sauna. As for Liu Yong's matter, it was as if it had been turned over and he didn't mention it again.
Qin Ming, sitting outside the office, nervously listened for more than half an hour. At first, he could barely hear anything inside, but later, he could faintly hear Tong Xiaohuai and Li Lin laughing.
Qin Ming assumed he had tinnitus and that it was fortunate that there was no noise inside; how could there possibly be a scene of laughter and conversation?
He stood up, walked to the door, and listened carefully again.
Indeed, Tong Xiaohuai's hearty laughter could be heard coming from inside.
That's really strange!
He had been worried that the people inside might start arguing or even fighting over something.
But why are they laughing so happily?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Qin Ming stood by the door for more than ten seconds before finally unable to resist knocking.
"Xiao Huai?"
"Come in!"
Qin Ming pushed open the door and immediately saw Tong Xiaohuai's bright smile, while Li Lin also had a smile on her face. It seemed that the two of them were in a very good mood.
Did he travel through time? Or did these two suffer from amnesia?
Shouldn't they be at odds now?
"Xiao Huai, tell Uncle Ming what good news you have, so Uncle Ming can be happy too." Qin Ming strode out, speaking casually, but staring at Li Lin with a face full of suspicion.
Tong Xiaohuai didn't hide anything and simply recounted to Qin Ming what she had just said to Li Lin.
Qin Ming was secretly surprised, but his face was full of smiles. "A-Lin, congratulations!"
He thought that Li Lin would have to suffer greatly to appease Tong Xiaohuai's anger.
Then, in such a short time, this girl assessed the situation and made such a brilliant decision.
Undoubtedly, Tong Xiaohuai's decision could easily give the impression that he was protecting or fearing Li Lin.
However, upon closer inspection, one cannot help but admire her intelligence.
Li Lin is indeed a talented person. If he is crippled because of this incident, it would be a real loss for the Tong family.
Tong Xiaohuai's current approach is to ask him to atone for his sins and perform meritorious service. Her move may seem indecisive, but it is actually a conciliatory policy, undoubtedly aimed at winning over Li Lin's heart.
After Li Lin left, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask Tong Xiaohuai.
"So what big gift are you planning to give him?"
Without hesitation, Tong Xiaohuai answered, "A wedding apartment in the city center!"
Qin Ming chuckled, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted!" Li Lin had indeed been having a headache lately about where to buy a house for their wedding. "Did you tell him?"
Tong Xiaohuai nodded, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cunning light.
"He did tell me! If he didn't, where would his motivation come from?"
Qin Ming was overjoyed and reached out to ruffle her hair, "You..."
Tong Xiaohuai stuck out his tongue at him, looking quite smug.
"So, am I smart?"
Uncle Ming had to nod. "He is indeed very clever. I was worried that you would cripple Li Lin in a fit of anger!"
