Chapter 145 If soft tactics don’t work, I can only use hard tactics against you
Lin Jiang accompanied the family of three to the property management to handle the formalities.

After looking at the time and today's schedule, Lin Jiang felt that he could take this opportunity to check in.

"You and your uncle and aunt go and handle the formalities. I'll go home and be back soon." Lin Jiang said to Li Zhiyi.

"Well, brother, be careful on the road."

Lin Jiang nodded and went out to find his car.

As soon as I got in the car, a game prompt appeared.

[Mission completed (annoying relatives): Kidney strengthening potion*1, 20 experience points]

Sure enough, for such a bootlicker, drastic measures must be taken, otherwise he will not know what giving up means.

"use!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an image of a white potion appeared in his mind, and finally turned into a series of light spots and disappeared.

The next second, Lin Jiang felt the changes in his body.

Waves of warmth came from the kidneys.

A bit dry!
The unbearable feeling of dryness lasted for a few minutes and then gradually subsided.

In today's situation, it would be useless if we don't ask Li Zhiyi to do a good job of after-sales service.

Because it is not far from Century Triumph, it only takes more than ten minutes to drive to the Suoya Suoya Fitness Center.

【Successful check-in: 15 days】

[Check in for 15 consecutive days: reward: vest line]

The moment the prompt ended, Lin Jiang felt the changes in his lower abdominal muscles.

After lifting up the clothes and taking a look, the muscle lines on the abdomen were indeed much more obvious.

After receiving the reward, Lin Jiang drove back to Jinyueguan Residence.

I waited for more than half an hour before completing all the procedures.

The old couple were so happy that their eyes narrowed into slits, and the same was true for Li Zhiyi.

To some extent, this house proves its weight.

[You have gained the favor of NPC Li Zhiyi, intimacy +30]

[Intimacy: 130]

[Award 300 million NPC special training fund, has been distributed to the account]

[A reward of 300 million NPC special investment funds has been issued to the account]

When the intimacy between the two reaches 130, she will be transformed into a teammate under certain conditions.

But Li Zhiyi's working status does not seem suitable for investment, after all, she is just an employee.

At this stage, Xu Lin is still the most suitable.

At this time, Lin Jiang saw a red exclamation mark appear above Li Zhiyi's head.

A new main quest has appeared.

[Task name: A little famous]

[Task Description: Acquire Zhonghai Haojue Business Club]

[Task Reward: Ten top waitresses, 40 experience points]

This mission is quite interesting, and the reward is even more interesting.

Now Tongzi is full of dirty talk, and I guess the ten top waitresses he gave him are not very decent either.

But I have to say, this game is really fun.

"Thank you, brother. I don't know what to say anymore."

When he arrived in front of Lin Jiang, Li Zhiyi's eyes were misty.

Lin Jiang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "No need to say anything, let's go out and play first. We'll leave tomorrow, so we can't waste time."

"Uh-huh."

The four of them left Jinyueguandi, called Bi Xiaoyun, and gathered at the gate of the community.

The moods of the two families formed a sharp contrast. The mood of Bi Xiaoyun's family of three was even heavier than when they went to the grave.

During this period, Lin Jiang checked the main task.

A few years ago, Haojue Business Club was quite famous, but in recent years, various business clubs have emerged, and now it has begun to decline.

From another perspective, it can be regarded as the opening of a new map.

The district where I live is called Ning'an District, which has nine streets and one town under it.

The street where the noodle restaurant is located is called Beiqiao Street, and Haojue Business Club is located on Beiqiao Street.

The next copy to be opened is the Beiqiao Street copy.

However, there are still many things to do at the moment, so you can put them aside for now. You also need to prevent yourself from becoming addicted to games.

Because we were traveling with two elderly people, activities suitable for young people were filtered out.

In addition, they had been to Zhonghai before, so there were not many options available, but they still had a very fulfilling day.

That evening, Lin Jiang arranged a meal of Huaiyang cuisine. Li Jianshu and Lin Jiang had a few drinks, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

After dinner, because Lin Jiang was drunk, Li Zhiyi drove the car back.

"Wait a minute, both of you don't get off the car." said Li Jianshu.

Li Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, "You're not getting off the car?"

"Well, I drank a lot today, so I'm sure I'll snore in the middle of the night. You two won't get a good rest, so you should stay at Xiao Jiang's place."

"what?"

Li Zhiyi blushed. She didn't expect her father to say such a thing.

Li Jianshu was very tactful and touched Huang Chunying.

"Yes, yes, your dad will definitely snore today. I won't live in the same room with him. You two have no place to sleep, so go to Xiao Jiang's place."

"Mom and Dad, it's not that you don't want me to..." Li Zhiyi said embarrassedly.

"Alright, alright, your mom and I are going to go back and rest first, you two should leave as well."

Li Jianshu waved his hand, took Huang Chunying and left.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll go together."

"Well, okay."

Seeing the old couple leave, Lin Jiang chuckled.

"Uncle and aunt are really open-minded. They know how to create space for us."

"Brother, it's all your fault. They heard everything last night."

"I can only say that your house is of poor quality and has no sound insulation at all. Now that you have moved to a new house, it will definitely be different."

"My brother is so bad."

Li Zhiyi drove back to Century Triumph.

"Brother, I want to go back later." Li Zhiyi said in a low voice.

"Will you go back later?"

"I think..." Li Zhiyi said, looking at the back row.

"I know what you're thinking."

……

The next morning, the screen was full of game prompts again.

[You have understood the new idiom "Lin's father moved three times", your understanding +1]

[You have gained the favor of NPC Li Zhiyi, intimacy +10]

[Intimacy: 140]

[Award 100 million NPC special training fund, has been distributed to the account]

[A reward of 100 million NPC special investment funds has been issued to the account]

Li Zhiyi's intimacy has reached 140, successfully surpassing Xu Lin. It seems that vigorous development is still useful.

But I have to say, those who learn dancing are awesome.

It is always possible to perform some difficult moves to adapt to the limited space in the car.

Only Qiu Yunong can compare with her in this respect.

"elder brother……"

Li Zhiyi moaned, feeling a little embarrassed, and lay on the bed with her head buried.

"I have some important work to do today. If you don't get up, I'll have to give you a wake-up call."

"Brother~~~"

Li Zhiyi said softly, "I'm a little sleepy and don't want to get up."

"If soft tactics don't work, I can only use hard tactics against you."

A wake-up call was arranged and it was already past ten o'clock when we got up.

"Brother, let me help you clean up the master bedroom and the second bedroom before you leave." Li Zhiyi said with a blushing face.

Because of the gravity of the moon and the delay card, there were several tidal phenomena last night, making the bed in the master bedroom unsuitable for sleeping, so the two moved to the second bedroom.

After moving to the second bedroom, the tidal phenomenon occurred again, so I had to move to another room.

If you include the process of walking from the car back home, that’s really three moves.

This also made Lin Jiang sigh that a bigger house is better.

"You are not needed now. The housekeeper will be here soon and I will take you to meet up with your uncle and aunt."

"understood."

Li Zhiyi didn't bother to be polite anymore. Facing the battlefield from last night, she would feel a little embarrassed if she was really asked to clean up.

It's already been done anyway, the housekeeper shouldn't be able to notice anything.

Afterwards, Lin Jiang drove to pick up Li Zhiyi's parents.

We had originally agreed to have breakfast together, but because a wake-up call service was added at the last minute, we could only have lunch together.

While eating, facing the gazes of his parents, Li Zhiyi dodged and dared not look at them.

After dinner, they did not go to look for Bi Xiaoyun and the others, but split up into two groups and rushed to the airport.

At the time of parting, Li Zhiyi hugged Lin Jiang reluctantly.

"Brother, I will be back the day after tomorrow, please miss me."

"Well, I'll pick you up then." "Yeah."

After watching Li Zhiyi walk into the boarding gate, Lin Jiang went back and called Chen Jingxian to have dinner together in the evening.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jiang went to Berkeley.

No matter what, this trip back home can be considered as returning home in glory, and I can't go back empty-handed.

Soon, Lin Jiang drove back to Berkeley with a clear goal: to buy three watches.

Comrade Lao Li is together, and my uncle and aunt are together.

First, I went to the Rolex counter and bought two Oyster Perpetual watches. The styles of the men's and women's models are similar, so they can be matched as a couple's watch.

The two pieces cost nearly 20 yuan, and Lin Jiang felt very comfortable.

When I got married, my aunt came to my house and asked Comrade Lao Li if he was short of money. She even took out 30 yuan from him.

From the perspective of blood relationship, my aunt is an outsider, and it is very rare for her to be able to do this.

It is only natural to buy two watches to honor them.

Afterwards, he spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a Cartier Blue Balloon for Comrade Lao Li.

The main mission this time is completed.

Ok?
suddenly!

Lin Jiang's eyes were covered by someone from behind.

It was a pair of women's hands, slightly cool and with a pleasant fragrance.

"Xu Lin, it's you."

"How did you guess it was mine? That's so boring."

Lin Jiang turned around and saw Xu Lin moving her small nose. At her age, doing such a movement was somewhat cute in contrast.

She wore a black blouse and a champagne-colored skirt, paired with black high heels and a handbag, looking very feminine.

"I can tell the smell of you as soon as I smell it."

"You can talk."

Xu Lin adjusted her hair out of habit and saw what was in Lin Jiang's hand.

"You bought so many watches? Are they for gifts?"

"I plan to go home tomorrow to check it out. I bought these for my family."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going home? I haven't prepared anything."

Xu Lin took Lin Jiang's hand and walked towards the elevator.

"I happen to have something in my store, you can take it back to Auntie."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Just have this intention."

"These are two different things. At least give me a chance to honor the old man. I can't let those little devils out there outdo me. Don't you agree, Boss Lin?"

Lin Jiang put his arms around Xu Lin's waist and pinched the soft flesh on her waist.

"It's not without reason that people say women like you are popular."

"Then exercise well and don't let other women drain you dry. Leave some for me."

"no problem."

After going down to the basement floor, the two walked towards the store.

Xu Lin's pace suddenly slowed down and he looked in the direction her gaze followed.

Lin Jiang saw Ma Shangxi's former lover standing next to a man in uniform.

The two were chatting in front of the counter. Although they did not do anything excessive, they were smiling all the time and seemed to have a good relationship.

Lin Jiang had good eyesight and saw the name tag on the man’s chest. He was the manager of the shopping mall and his name was Fu Yaohua.

"what happened?"

"This woman is really not honest at all. She hooked up with the manager again."

"This person looks a little unfamiliar. I have never seen him before."

"He's new here, he's the assistant manager of the mall."

Lin Jiang nodded and understood the whole story.

It is very likely that he is the newly hired deputy manager who replaced Liu Hongquan's role.

"Did this person not give you any trouble?"

"Every time they come to talk to me, they are quite rude. They always point out some small faults and ask me to correct them. I guess they won't install it after a while. Maybe they will be fined."

"Don't worry about him. I really want to see what he is capable of."

"Oh don't worry about me, I'll go get you something."

The two returned to the store, and Xu Lin took out two boxes of sea cucumbers and a ginseng from the counter.

"These two boxes are from Liaohai and the ginseng is old mountain ginseng from Northeast China. They are all first-class products. You can take them back to Auntie." Xu Lin said.

"Ginseng is a good thing, and ordinary people can't buy it."

"Of course, I waited a long time to get it." Xu Lin said:

"Don't be polite to me, I will be unhappy."

"Boss Xu has said this, what else can I say?"

"That's right."

cough cough-

A cough interrupted their conversation, and it was Fu Yaohua who came over.

"The manager is here."

Seeing Fu Yaohua, Xu Lin greeted him with a smile.

Fu Yaohua nodded lightly.

"Recently, several people have come to me and said that the medicine you sell is problematic, and you sell it at a high price with inferior products as good ones. You can make money, but that's not how you do business."

Fu Yaohua pointed and said:
"Also, the merchandise in your store is so messy that when customers come here, they think Berkeley is a third-rate shopping mall."

"Manager, if you say the goods are displayed in a disorderly manner, I can rectify it. But if you say that you are selling inferior goods as good ones, I will not admit it. We have never done such a thing in our family."

Xu Lin said in a friendly manner:

"You can't listen to other people's nonsense and then wrongly accuse our things."

"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Xu, you can't talk nonsense. We should do business with conscience. I have never done anything to harm others and benefit myself." The woman in cheongsam retorted.

"I didn't say anything about you, but you suddenly interrupted me. Isn't that confessing yourself?"

Lin Jiang glanced at the woman opposite him and felt that all her skill points were focused on fever, and her IQ was ignored.

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about your problem now." Fu Yaohua said seriously:
"I've always been fair and just. If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad. I'll tell you directly. Given your family's situation, you should make corrections quickly. It's a mess. What a mess."

"Aren't they arranged neatly? Where's the mess?" Lin Jiang said.

Fu Yaohua looked at Lin Jiang, "What does this have to do with you? I'm the manager of the mall. Do you know more than me?"

"I don't understand management, but I can find people who do." Lin Jiang said while fiddling with his phone:

"As a human being, you should behave yourself and not do anything that would offend your conscience, otherwise you will be punished."

"Who do you think you are? You're talking to me about retribution? This is none of your business. Just stay away."

"You haven't explained the situation clearly yet, I can't leave."

"Why don't you understand? There are things piled everywhere. Can't you see?"

Fu Yaohua pointed the finger at Xu Lin, "I told you about your family's problems. Are you dissatisfied? Are you looking for someone to argue with me?"

"Manager, please don't misunderstand me. That's not my intention. I'll sort out the goods later and try to make it better."

"It's too late to talk about this now. You will be fined 1000 yuan. Go to the finance department to pay the money tomorrow." Fu Yaohua said with a straight face:

"This is just a warning. If the same problem occurs next time, your business will be closed for rectification."

Xu Lin's face turned cold.

"Manager, that's not necessary. You fined me 1000 yuan right away. That's how much I earn in a day."

"How much you earn is your business. If you don't comply with the mall's regulations, you will be punished," Fu Yaohua said.

"If you want to do it, just follow the rules. If you don't want to do it, just say so. No one will stop you."

Fu Yaohua snorted coldly and turned to leave, but was stopped by Lin Jiang from behind.

"Don't leave yet."

"What are you going to do? Do you want to fight me?"

Lin Jiang's figure was still somewhat intimidating in front of Fu Yaohua, making him stand still and not dare to get closer.

"I'm telling you, this is a public place, don't play social games. I'm not afraid of you."

"We are all civilized people. How could I do such a thing?" Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"I called your manager here and asked them to come and judge whether there is any problem with my friend's store."

"I have done nothing wrong, I am not afraid even if you call the manager!"

Fu Yaohua pointed at Xu Lin's counter and said:

"No matter who comes today, there are problems with her store and they must be rectified. When our manager comes, the fine may be even greater."

"Then let's wait until someone arrives. There's no need to rush."

"Ah……"

Fu Yaohua sneered and didn't take Lin Jiang seriously at all.

Those who come here are our own people. How could I be afraid of you?
On the other side, Lin Jiang saw the woman in cheongsam and started to pack up his shop. His leader would be here soon and he didn't want to leave any evidence behind.

Not long after, Huang Youwei and He Jing arrived.

Seeing the two of them, Fu Yaohua greeted them with a smile.

He thought the person coming was He Jing, but he didn't expect Huang Youwei to come too.

I guess we met halfway and came here together.

In fact, no matter what he does these days, Huang Youwei will drag He Jing along.

When Lin Jiang first came to Berkeley, it was He Jing who brought him here, and the two have maintained a good relationship ever since.

There is a vacant vice president position in the mall now. Given their relationship, she might be promoted soon, so naturally they have to pay attention to He Jing.

Huang Youwei nodded lightly, and he and He Jing quickened their pace and walked towards Lin Jiang.

"What happened to Mr. Lin?"
