Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 272 Absolute Master among Masters (Second Update)
Chapter 272: 272 Absolute Master among Masters (Second Update)
Yang Zhenye couldn’t help but give Su Xiaofeng a big thumbs up.
Really something, a sales expert, absolutely a sales expert.
Xiaofeng felt it was nothing special. Helpless about business matters, she possessed experience from two lifetimes. If she couldn’t handle a mere mall manager, how could she speak of tackling the national market? "I still have to thank you. It was you who said Manager Liang stayed and fought in Haicheng for several years without going back, which got him his current standing here."
If it weren’t for Yang Zhenye’s simple word, she certainly wouldn’t have thought of a way to deal with Manager Liang so soon.
"Miss Su, I didn’t expect you to be so clever; my simple word helped you find the breakthrough."
"Her capability should never be overlooked," Wu Yifan smiled. "What about the other mall? Do you have any strategy for it?"
"Right, Manager Bai of the other shopping mall is a middle-aged man. He is competent but lecherous," Yang Zhenye shared what he knew with Su Xiaofeng. "Be careful when you meet him."
"I’m not in a hurry to meet him now. I want to see the effects at Cuiwei Shopping Mall first." Some things can’t be rushed, the more hurried, the smaller the chance of success.
"Then what are your plans next?" Wu Yifan looked at her. After these few days of interaction, he realized that although she had grown up in the countryside and come to a big city like Haicheng, she seemed not curious at all, as if she had been here countless times.
On the other hand, Ershun, who came all along the way, was incredibly curious, asking about this and that, a true first-timer in the city.
"Just now, Tie Bao called me from the place I stay, saying he could arrive in Haicheng by noon. I’ll wait here at noon for them. Once they arrive, I’ll have the goods delivered to Cuiwei Shopping Mall." The hotel had a landline, and on the first day of her stay, she had given the factory manager Zhou the number so they could reach her by landline if needed.
Tie Bao had called her early in the morning, saying it would take another three hours to reach Haicheng.
...
Mi Xue sat at home, becoming angrier the more she thought about it, highly annoyed: Everyone thought she was the cause of the trouble, but who knew that if not for Su Xiaofeng, she definitely would not have been caught so easily? Su Xiaofeng was simply a disaster for her, a thorn in her heart that she couldn’t swallow.
She wanted to see who would support Su Xiaofeng this time. She didn’t believe that Su Xiaofeng, who came from a small place, could know any big shots in Haicheng.
Right, maybe she could dig out who was behind bothering the Mi Family, and once she knew who it was, they were as good as dead.
She picked up the phone, made a call to someone, gave a few brief instructions, and then hung up.
Su Xiaofeng, huh? I want to see if the Mi Family’s trouble has anything to do with you.
...
"Are you doing well in this foreign place?" Almost at the same time, all the major restaurants on the first floor of Cuiwei Shopping Mall hung up dazzling banners: "Deep homesickness, the lingering hometown flavor, just add five yuan to take two bottles of hometown taste home."
Almost at every table, along with the main dish, two small side dishes would be served.
When paying the bill, the waiters would always ask, "Would you like to take two bottles?"
Many people took two bottles, some even more, directly ordering a whole box to distribute to the guests present to take home.
The sales were quite good all day.
Of course, Xiaofeng did not share the secret of using these chili sauces for cooking with the restaurants because there were so many restaurants here. Telling them would have created competition among them, which could have been counterproductive.
After dinner, Xiaofeng arranged for Tie Bao and Liu Chunming to have a room, told them to rest well, and then she went back to her room to rest.
In the middle of the night, two figures emerged from the darkness, sticking to the wall as they approached Su Xiaofeng’s room, checking their surroundings. Aside from the dim light of the hotel, there was no other sound.
The two figures looked at each other, took out tools they had prepared earlier, gently turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open.
Xiaofeng was sound asleep, and suddenly Xiaoqi’s voice rang out, "Master, safety alert, safety alert, safety alert, someone is coming in, someone is coming in."
Listening to Xiaoqi’s voice, Xiaofeng instantly focused on the noises inside the room and indeed heard faint footsteps.
In the darkness, their soft voices could be heard: "Are we here to rob wealth or to rob beauty?"
"That person only told us to teach her a lesson, and teaching can be of various types; plundering beauty is also one of them," another spoke.
"Then let’s plunder her beauty before teaching her a lesson. Make her cancel the cooperation with Cuiwei Shopping Mall and immediately get out of Haicheng."
"You go ahead and cover her mouth," the other one eyed the woman sleeping soundly on the bed, her silhouette ethereal in the darkness.
One carefully approached, wary of waking the person on the bed.
Before he could get any closer, he felt something push him from the darkness, causing him to cry out and crash into a nearby coffee table.
The other was surprised and frowned, "What’s the matter with you?"
The woman on the bed hadn’t stirred at all, but his companion had somehow flown out on his own.
"It felt like something pushed me." The person who was pushed looked around anxiously, "This room doesn’t have anything unclean, does it?"
The woman on the bed had not woken up at all, so it couldn’t have been her who pushed him.
If it wasn’t her, there was only one possibility, that he was pushed by an unknown object. Speaking of unknown objects, every hotel had its share of such stories, which were always somewhat unsettling to hear.
"Impossible," another didn’t believe, "It must be your imagination. Let me try."
They were carrying knives, those unclean things definitely wouldn’t dare to approach them.
The pushed person gestured for his companion to go ahead, while he himself stopped and dared not take another step forward.
The other person took out a sharp dagger from his pocket, which even in the darkness, the gleam of the dagger was perceptible; he carefully advanced, taking no chances.
Even so, as he got close to the bed, he still felt a resistance, which lightly pushed him back out.
He was terrified, thinking to himself, there was definitely a ghost.
In an instant, he pointed the dagger at his companion, "It attacked me, did you see anything?"
Ghosts, definitely ghosts.
His companion was equally terrified, it was too eerie.
There was nothing in the darkness, only a woman sleeping soundly. What else could it be if not some other presence?
The two of them looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes, "What do you think we should do?"
"How about we turn on the light and wake her up directly? I heard that unclean things are afraid of light.
"Then let’s turn on the light, she’s just a young girl and won’t dare to scream."
The room’s light was turned on, and the glaring light made Xiaofeng uncomfortable; she slowly opened her eyes.
"Beautiful," the two did not dare to approach closer, but sat on a sofa nearby, smirking sinisterly at Su Xiaofeng, with the daggers in their hands flashing in an irritating way.
Xiaofeng sat up, looked at the two men in front of her and frowned slightly, "Who are you? What are you doing in my room."
Yet she knew in her heart that these men must have been sent to deal with her.
Having just arrived in Haicheng, there weren’t many who would want to target her, and she could guess who it was immediately.
"Beauty," one of them began slowly, his voice ominous, "Someone paid us to teach you a lesson. You look quite pretty, it might be nice if we carved a flower on your face."
"Carve a flower on the face," Xiaofeng nodded and picked up a pen from the bedside table, "Sounds interesting, I wonder what it feels like."
With a light flick of the pen in her hand, it hit the other’s dagger-holding hand directly.
With a clang, the dagger dropped, falling to the ground.
The black pen was firmly embedded in the back of the man’s hand.
The person holding the dagger, and the other one, seeing the pen had fallen, were scared and immediately knelt down.
A person who could hit the target with one shot was definitely a master, no, a master among masters.
"Miss," the two knelt on the ground, their voices trembling, "We were blind to your skill, like trying to show off in front of a master swordsman, we deserve to die."
"Right, we will leave now. We wouldn’t dare to disturb your rest anymore."
Xiaofeng sat on the bed, her expression calm as she looked at them, "Don’t leave, now that you’re here, let’s have a good chat. For instance, who is the scariest force in this area, and whom should one never offend? Maybe you can tell me all about it." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Although she wasn’t involved in the underworld, she still needed to know some things, didn’t she?
"Miss, do you want to join us?"
Xiaofeng shook her head, "Of course not. Why would I join you? With the way you are, you’re just waiting to be jailed."
Not only were they timid, but they were also inept, and to top it off, they weren’t even involved in a legitimate business. Getting caught was just a matter of time.
"For example, right now, I just need to make one phone call and you could be sent in. Do you believe me?"
They believed, of course they believed. If their opponent wasn’t skilled, they wouldn’t have been at a disadvantage, so what was there not to believe? "Miss, what do you want to know about?"
Su Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, "Let’s start with the Mi Family. What do you know about them?"
