Chapter 801: Chapter 801
So Bai Ci began to humbly ask Lin Baici for martial arts guidance.
Lin Baici didn’t really understand the subject, but he had seen some videos on Chinese martial arts, Sanda, and boxing on Bilibili and TikTok, and knew some techniques for power generation and training methods, which he shared with Bai Ci.
Bai Ci listened very attentively, even picking up a pen and paper from the front desk and earnestly jotting everything down.
"Alright, it’s too late, I need to rest!"
"Master Lin, I won’t disturb you any longer!"
Bai Ci stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Lin Baici, calling him ’master’ as a sign of respect.
Lin Baici waved his hand.
Half an hour later, Lin Baici returned to the hotel and found Kim Myungjin had already taken a shower, was sitting in a bathrobe on the sofa, her hair still damp, flipping through a magazine as she waited for him.
The Goryeo girl didn’t ask Lin Baici why he had come back so late, she only said three words.
Was there even a need to ask?
Lin Baici pushed Kim Myungjin down on the sofa, lifting her right leg with his right hand and placing it on his shoulder.
The red-soled high heels dangling from the Goryeo girl’s right toes, like ripe fruit hanging from a branch in autumn, shaking...
Finally, with a slap, the high heel fell off.
The next day early in the morning, Lin Baici and his team went to New World for work.
Being God Hunters, they had a good constitution; no matter how much soju they had drunk, a night’s sleep and they were fine.
Everyone had breakfast in the restaurant, started their busy workday, and it wasn’t until after the morning rush, around 10 a.m., that the Lady Boss came downstairs with her eyes all puffy.
Everyone greeted her in unison.
Han Suying casually waved her hand; the normally business-like lady boss, always in trousers and a white shirt, had today put on a floral dress.
"Lady Boss, drink while it’s hot!"
Huang Jinxiang was great at brown-nosing, bringing her a bowl of porridge and a couple of side dishes.
Han Suying sat and took a few sips, then beckoned to Lin Baici.
"Little Lin, come sit!"
Everyone immediately sneaked glances.
"Trust God Lin, while others work for living, he enjoys an easy life!"
Quan Sangin said enviously.
Lin Baici sat down, only to see Han Suying giving him a plaintive look.
After all, the Lady Boss was a young woman, not as awkward as a young girl, but she felt a bit disappointed thinking her rare initiative got rejected.
Lin Baici touched the Paramour Pliers tucked behind his waist!
"Adjusting to work alright?"
Han Suying turned on the LCD TV hanging on the west wall of the lobby and selected a news channel.
The TV was usually turned on in the morning so that diners could stay informed while eating.
"Getting used to it!"
Lin Baici felt that New World needed to find a solution soon or it was going to flop.
The two chatted idly, no customers that morning anyway, but as they talked, Han Suying noticed Lin Baici staring intensely at the TV.
The Lady Boss glanced over; it was a live broadcast from the city TV station, showing thousands of people with banners protesting and blocking the gate of a dairy company.
The cause was a baby formula with an excessive amount of an additive; babies who had drunk it were showing symptoms, and the people were demanding compensation.
"How has this flared up again?"
The Lady Boss was surprised, wasn’t public relations supposed to have handled it?
The camera was focused on a group leading the protest.
Lin Baici saw Xia Hongyao and Yi Jisheng, both fuming with righteous anger, continuously shouting, trying to break through the security barrier, their heads wrapped in white bands reading ’Give my child’s life back’.
"Isn’t that Red Medicine?"
Kim Myungjin was astonished, what was this all about?
Lin Baici glanced over, not seeing Hua Yue Yu or Gu Qingqiu, but it made sense considering their physical conditions wouldn’t suit such protest activities.
"Do you know someone there?"
Hearing this, Han Suying kindly advised, "Be careful with that company, it’s tough to deal with, tell your friends to be cautious!"
Gu Qingqiu was impressive!
No matter the era, the power of large corporations is immense. Gu Qingqiu organized a protest as a threat, clearly aiming to make the big corporation pay up.
This was much easier than going to work oneself.
Lin Baici could already guess what Gu Qingqiu planned to do next.
Compensating so many families would cost the company how much money?
But compensating only Gu Qingqiu to keep her quiet would be much cheaper, and Gu Qingqiu didn’t want money, she wanted currency.
Once this deal was done, Gu Qingqiu could start trouble with other companies, and because of her successful track record, other companies would be even more wary and would likely choose to quiet things down quickly.
Of course, this approach came with a great risk of death or arrest. If this were the real world, Gu Qingqiu would definitely be targeted, but this was God’s Ruins.
With Xia Hongyao and Yi Jisheng as her powerful bodyguards, Gu Qingqiu would be very safe.
Lin Baici couldn’t help but want to applaud.
He didn’t know Gu Qingqiu’s family background, but judging by her dress and behavior, she was definitely from a capitalist background.
Just look at her thinking; she never even considered working for others.
Lin Baici felt a myriad of emotions. If not for the pointers from Eater God, he would be no match for Gu Qingqiu, but that was a matter of family background, an inherent disadvantage.
"I must study more in the future!"
Lin Baici warned himself.
[The king at the top of the food chain isn’t born perfect. The ability to grow quickly is the secret to great power!]
Lin Baici’s reasoning was correct, Gu Qingqiu indeed planned to use public opinion and evidence to threaten those big corporations and, at critical moments, could even target the government.
She wanted currency, and as for the interests of those she incited, she didn’t care at all, since they were all God Ruins Aboriginals.
Gu Qingqiu did even more than Lin Baici thought. The journalists at the scene had been bribed by her, so the reports were biased. Also, two security guards would soon assault the protesters, tarnishing the company’s reputation.
She even bought some black material on the company.
All these actions combined, if the company didn’t negotiate with her promptly, its reputation and stock price would definitely take a hit.
The Lady Boss was holding the remote control and changed the channel several times before suddenly flipping back.
On the screen, a news item was being broadcast against the backdrop of a large hotel on fire, with firefighters attempting to extinguish it, but it was clearly too late.
"It has been confirmed that there are no people trapped in the hotel. The cause of the fire is under further investigation!"
The female reporter’s voice was crisp.
"Isn’t that the Huanghai Hotel?"
A waiter shouted, and upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around.
"What goes around comes around!"
Watching the hotel, which was sure to become ruins, the staff of the New World cheered happily.
"Extra meal for lunch today!"
The Lady Boss announced.
Lin Baici had not expected Red Medicine’s actions to be so swift.
On TV, the middle-aged owner he had seen the day before was wailing desperately, nothing like his previous arrogant demeanor.
This fire had burned through most of Huanghai’s life savings.
In fact, Huanghai Hotel also dealt with Head People and, due to booming business, consumed even more of them, so Red Medicine had long wanted to get him.
This time, it was just a coincidental opportunity.
After the news ended, Lin Baici switched channels, still lingering on the thoughts.
"Lady Boss, with Huanghai Hotel gone, our business should pick up, right?"
Han Suying shook her head, her expression downcast. There were more than one restaurant in Gwangju and standing out wasn’t easy for New World.
"Do you want to become famous overnight?"
"Do you want a multimillion-dollar prize?"
"Do you want to be the brightest star in Gwangju?"
"Come and join our variety challenge! Once you complete the challenges, you can have all these!"
"Taxi drivers, waiters, security guards... remember, we only want ordinary people, not stars. This is a festival for the layman!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Come and sign up to compete!"
The TV commercial was very enticing and caught everyone’s attention again.
"Lady Boss, I think we could participate in this. Just by winning the championship, wouldn’t New World become famous?" For more chapters visit novel⚑fire.net
Huang Jinxiang suggested.
"Oppa, there are ancient coins in the rewards!"
Kim Myungjin was astonished.
On the screen, the reward list specifically stated that there were a thousand collectible ancient coins. Just by obtaining them, they could immediately complete the mission.
