C8 See old friends again
"Ah?" "We're not even on the ground yet."
"I'm sorry, this is it." Lin Nan took out 10 yuan and paid the fare, then walked straight to the jewelry store.
Entering the automatically rotating glass door, entering the shop is a clear white floor tiles and rows of glass cabinets.
He remembered that the last time he was a shop manager here was three years ago. It had been so long since he had seen so many familiar faces, and most of them were new employees.
Lin Nan looked around and finally found the woman. He heaved a sigh of relief.
That woman is called Zhao Xiaoxiao.
She wasn't tall, with a delicate face and a single ponytail. Her figure was a bit flat, and her beauty could only be considered average at first glance. The only strong points were her oval face and her pair of large, dark, intelligent eyes.
Just as Lin Nan was about to go over and talk to them, two muscular men in black came in.
There were scars on their faces, and tattoos could be seen on their bare wrists.
Lin Nan frowned, and pretended to look at the jewelry at the corner.
The two black clothed men aggressively walked towards Zhao Xiaoxiao and surrounded her.
The black-clothed man's expression was vicious as he muttered a few words. After Zhao Xiaoxiao heard this, his face paled and her legs went limp.
Not knowing what the black clothed man said, Zhao Xiaoxiao kept nodding her head obediently.
Soon, the two men in black left.
When it was eight in the evening, the jewelry store staff all finished their work and all carried their bags and walked out of the shop. However, no one glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiao when they walked past her.
When the manager walked over, he stared at Zhao Xiaoxiao with a threatening gaze and said softly: "Don't fail to appreciate my kindness, this is good for you!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled, she gritted her teeth and nodded silently.
It seemed like Zhao Xiaoxiao was on duty tonight. The female shop assistant had all left, leaving behind the two old security guards who were smoking outside, while Zhao Xiaoxiao had her head lowered, it was unknown what she was thinking.
Lin Nan waited until all the employees had left before he entered the shop again.
He stared at Zhao Xiaoxiao, and the remaining strand of precious consciousness in his body spread out, like a tentacle inspecting Zhao Xiaoxiao's body.
After a moment, Lin Nan's expression became happy, it was indeed a cauldron of 'spiritual stove'!
spiritual stove is the saying of the Immortal World.
Its true function was to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and store it in one's body, helping Martial Masters to greatly increase their cultivation speed. The highest tiered spiritual stove in the Immortal World could even enlighten an ordinary person and make him an immortal king!
As for what grade Zhao Xiaoxiao was actually at among the spiritual stove, they would need concrete contact with him before they could find out.
Lin Nan's heart was burning with passion. In a place like Earth where there was very little spiritual energy, with the help of a spiritual stove, how could his cultivation speed be multiple times faster?
It could be said that with the help of the spiritual stove, the amount of time Lin Nan had to break through to the God Realm was reduced by at least half.
While thinking, he had already walked in front of Zhao Xiaoxiao.
Lin Nan pointed to a jade necklace and asked: "Hello, how much is this?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao did not seem to hear her, as she continued to droop her head in a daze.
Lin Nan said in a slightly louder voice, "How much money do you have?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao was shocked, she then realised that she had a customer, and couldn't help but blush in panic, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
But when Zhao Xiaoxiao raised her head, she was instantly stunned. Clutching her mouth, she asked in disbelief: "Manager?"
Although after not seeing him for three years, Lin Nan's appearance had greatly changed from before, but Zhao Xiaoxiao had a very deep impression of those dark and clear eyes, and he immediately recognized him!
"Hehe, that year when Lin Ao came, you were still speaking up for me, you didn't even have the time to thank him." Lin Nan laughed, "Come, let's go out for a midnight snack together?"
Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiao to speak, Lin Nan had already passed a box of cigarettes to the two old security guards at the door, asking them to take a look at the shop. Then, he brought Zhao Xiaoxiao to a coffee shop.
On the way, Lin Nan asked: "What's wrong with those two black clothed men, they still dare to mess around in the Lin Clan's shop?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao did not speak, her eyes dim.
11 AM in the cafe.
There were very few people at night and the shop was quiet.
Zhao Xiaoxiao sat opposite of Lin Nan, her eyes red and swollen. The coffee on the table was steaming hot and she did not move.
Lin Nan frowned, his face had a layer of anger. Are you saying that Lin Ao framed you? "
"Yes."
Zhao Xiaoxiao bit her lips, "Last month, the shop lost a pure gold necklace, the manager said that the compensation was at least 400 thousand, on that day, I was the only one on duty, the monitoring system was also deleted, they all said that I stole it."
"But I didn't steal it, I'm not that kind of person!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao covered her face and cried. She did not have a father, so she came out to work after dropping out of school. She spent the majority of her savings on her severely ill mother.
"And Lin Ao came to find you?" Lin Nan squinted his eyes. He originally wanted to make a move on this "Second Brother" a little later, but he couldn't blame anyone else but himself.
Lin Nan looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao and said, "Will Lin Ao send someone to pick you up at 6 PM tomorrow? "Are you willing to go?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao bit her lips: "He said that as long as we go over there, we will write off everything that happened in the shop."
"Listen to me, don't go." Lin Nan shook his head, "I will help you with this matter."
Zhao Xiaoxiao's expression was struggling, but she still nodded her head in the end.
Lin Nan patted her shoulder, "Tomorrow, after work, I'll come to pick you up. Don't worry about Lin Ao, I'll take care of him."
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoxiao trembled as she nodded her head.
After sending Zhao Xiaoxiao back, Lin Nan rented a new car and headed towards the Lin Family residence.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
This was a huge manor.
There was a small path inside the manor, and it was paved with pebbles. On both sides were rows of willow trees, their branches gently swaying in the night wind. Beside them was a man-made brook, the brook was clear and clear.
