During this time, Kikutaro suffered terribly.
He was nearly driven to the brink of collapse by Jin Tiancai's abuse! Before, he had repeatedly assured him that Su Yanan wouldn't be a problem, that he had already won her over, and that she would be on his side. But what happened? Not only did Su Yanan not side with him, but she became the biggest obstacle to the Jin family!
At this moment, Kikutaro was filled with resentment towards both Su Yanan and Lin Chen!
...
Later, at Jin Tiancai's invitation, Jiang Jiahan specially flew from Haizhou City to Lutian City to meet Lin Chen and then went to Jin Tiancai's house together. However, they were stopped at the door by two bodyguards.
"Mr. Jiang, what an honored guest you are to have grace our humble abode with your presence!"
Jin Tiancai greeted them with a beaming smile, the hospitality lavish and respectful. He glanced at Jiang Jiahan, then curiously scrutinized Lin Chen, his brow furrowing slightly. "President Jiang, didn't your company's chairman accompany you?"
Jiang Jiahan smiled charmingly and gracefully stepped aside, as if revealing a surprise. "My boss is already here," she said softly, while Su Yanan also slightly stepped aside to introduce Lin Chen to Jin Tiancai.
"I've heard so much about you, President Jin. I'm Lin Chen." Lin Chen introduced himself calmly. Although he deliberately dressed to be mature and composed, his youthful aura was hard to hide, and his age, which was similar to Jiang Jiahan's, was even more unbelievable.
Jin Tiancai then began to seriously examine Lin Chen, secretly thinking to himself, "It's unbelievable that someone so young can stir up such a storm." He had already made up his mind to find out Lin Chen's background.
"You really can't deny getting old; it's the world of young people now. Chairman Lin is truly a young hero, admirable indeed," Jin Tiancai said politely.
"President Jin, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn from you," Lin Chen replied humbly. Although the two addressed each other as president and chairman, they maintained a subtle sense of distance between them.
Throughout his conversation with Jin Tiancai, Lin Chen remained vigilant. He activated his Insight skill, which he later upgraded to Super Insight, in order to better learn from her business management experience.
At the same time, he also keenly sensed Jin Tiancai's doubts and curiosity. Lin Chen always cleverly avoided these questions, making him difficult to understand.
Jiang Jiahan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. She felt that Lin Chen and Jin Tiancai were like two old foxes locked in a battle of wits. She clearly sensed that as their conversation deepened, Jin Tiancai's attitude towards Lin Chen was constantly changing.
And so, Lin Chen spoke fluent Mandarin, while Jin Tiancai spoke Korean with a slight accent, and the two communicated for a long time. Later, they realized that it was more reliable to use sign language than for neither of them to understand anything! So the two began to communicate "silently" through gestures.
After a flurry of activity, Jin Tiancai finally saw Lin Chen and Su Yanan off, without even leaving them a meal. He rubbed his aching wrists, secretly relieved to have finally gotten rid of these two "troublesome" guests.
Only Jin Tiancai remained in the room. He picked up the phone and reported the situation to the chairman. "Chairman, I've seen the man, and he's definitely someone we need to be wary of. Moreover, I have a feeling he might become a formidable opponent in the future! As for Kikutaro, that bastard has given us too much false information; I'm going to send him to clean toilets!"
In many situations, feigning weakness is a wise tactic. However, against an adversary like the Kim family, feigning weakness is often ineffective.
Especially since Lin Chen will need to develop his career in Lu Tian City for some time to come, his actions are likely to be exposed to the Jin family. At that point, keeping a low profile will be of no use.
Moreover, Lin Chen's later strategy was not to act discreetly, but to be high-profile, extremely high-profile! He had already obtained the share transfer document from Jin Tiancai, and with the shares that had not been sold before, Lin Chen had achieved complete control of "Tokyo Not Hot".
The next day, Jiang Jiahan left first, while Lin Chen and Su Yanan made a high-profile appearance at the headquarters of the "Tokyo Not Hot" Lu Tiancheng branch. The media's attention was mostly focused on Su Yanan, the newly appointed beautiful vice president, while they did not pay much attention to Lin Chen, the real behind-the-scenes boss.
Some people even mistakenly thought he was just Su Yanan's bodyguard or assistant.
However, those minor details seemed insignificant at this moment, because Su Yanan's appearance at the "Tokyo Not Hot" headquarters undoubtedly announced to the public that she had readily accepted the Kim family's previous "apology." Jiang Jiahan's earlier statement also clearly indicated her acceptance of the compensation, and everything seemed to have been settled.
But in this turmoil, Kikutaro became the most awkward character. Although he was currently acting as the head of "Tokyo Not Hot," all the limelight was stolen by Su Yanan, making him feel unprecedentedly marginalized within the company. More importantly, the Jin family was now abandoning him! He had become a stray dog.
Immediately afterwards, an even more shocking piece of news quietly spread from within "Tokyo Not Hot," like a thunderclap from a clear sky: the position of the company's president would be taken over by a young man who was only around twenty years old.
Soon, Lin Chen's photos were made public, attracting widespread attention.
However, these reporters searched every corner of Lu Tiancheng but couldn't find a single piece of information about Lin Chen. Even more strangely, the media seemed to have received some kind of hint to minimize their coverage and attention of Lin Chen.
When Kikutaro saw the photo, his hands trembled with rage. Lin Chen had not only stolen his woman, but now he wanted to take his company? He coughed up blood and nearly fainted.
...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had been staying in Lu Tiancheng for two months, and at the "Tokyo Not Hot" entertainment company for a full month. During this month, he finally reunited with Liu Tiantian and Cai Xiaokun. Liu Tiantian had become even more beautiful and charming, while Cai Xiaokun had gained an even more captivating and alluring aura.
During this period, Lin Chen carried out a large-scale reorganization within the company. The first person to be reassigned was Kikutaro. Now, just as Jin Tiancai had wished, Kikutaro has gloriously become the head of the cleaning department, responsible for cleaning the entire company. Whenever he's busy sweeping, his heart is filled with resentment towards Lin Chen.
Su Yanan is now the company's CEO, fully responsible for its daily operations. Lin Chen and Jiang Jiahan serve as the president and vice president, respectively, only appearing during major decision-making processes; otherwise, they are mainly responsible for collecting money.
