Shi Lin naturally remembered that scene more than ten years ago, so he naturally knew how deeply Lin Xiaotian had a grudge against him at that time.

Hearing him say such things to himself at this moment, he really felt like a world away.

As Lin Xiaotian said, karma has been tried and tested.

More than ten years ago, because of his brazenness, he deducted thousands of hard-earned money from workers like Lin Xiaotian. Now, when he wants to seek further development, he happened to meet an employee whose salary was deducted by him in the past.

Looking at Lin Xiaotian's identity, his position is at least higher than that of Manager Zhang. Obviously, he has the right to decide the outcome of this expedition. Shi Lin was like a dead heart, feeling that he was afraid that he would not only get more orders and increase the price of a single product, but he was afraid that the only orders he had now would be hanging.

Lin Xiaotian could probably understand his thoughts, but he didn't tell him the good news that he would comfort him, or that he would not actually decide the outcome of this expedition. Lin Xiaotian just looked at him coldly, and only said after a while: "Boss Shi, by now, don't you understand what I mean?"

"I know I deserve it. Shi Lin's voice was full of loss.

"No, you don't understand. Lin Xiaotian spread out his palm and stretched out his hand.

Shi Lin lost his soul and did not understand the meaning of his action at all.

"Give me back the wages of more than four months, 7,150 yuan of hard-earned money. ”

Shi Lin was dumbfounded.

"Why, do you think that after more than ten years, there will be no need to settle the salary?" Lin Xiaotian looked like a matter of course, "Getting back these hard-earned money, but it was my biggest dream at that time." I thought that if I got the money, I would have to buy a new set of clothes for my father!

Shi Lin didn't understand his mind at all, and took out his wallet in a stunned manner, and was stunned for a long time without deciding whether to open it or not.

"Really, what are you doing. Lin Xiaotian's eyes flashed with displeasure, snatched his wallet, and quickly counted the cash inside.

"It's only six thousand eight hundred and twenty-three dollars. There's still about 300 pieces left. He frowned, took out six thousand eight hundred yuan from it, and then returned the wallet to Shi Lin, and said angrily: "There are still three hundred and fifty yuan left, you can find a way to send it to me immediately." ”

Shi Lin was still confused and froze in place.

"What are you doing in a daze, go get some money. Lin Xiaotian reprimanded.

Shi Lin looked at the stack of bright red banknotes in his hand, and said dumbfoundedly: "You came here this time for these............ Wages?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Lin Xiaotian asked rhetorically.

Shi Lin swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said in a low voice: "I thought that you were here to take revenge on me." I also knew that I had gone too far. ”

"It's not just excessive, it's just madness!" Lin Xiaotian's expression was cold, "You may not know, if you really had money at that time, I would definitely smash your car without hesitation, and then beat you hard to the point of urine, and let out a bad breath!"

Shi Lin saw that he was a little unhappy, and thought that he was angry again, so he hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Originally, I thought that when I saw you this time, I would definitely be very angry, and then insult you fiercely, in order to avenge the revenge of the year. But when I drove to the gate of this factory and saw your groveling appearance, I suddenly figured it out. Lin Xiaotian stared at him, "I found that watching you flatter us actually has a sense of accomplishment compared to me teaching you a hearty lesson." And most importantly, I find that I don't want to berate you anymore. All the workers who used to work with me have left, and even the people in charge around you have been replaced by another group of people, and the factory is full of new faces, and your factory is still the same for more than ten years...... You have already rebelled against your relatives, and you don't seem to have made a fortune because of your cruelty, all of this may be God's punishment for the sins you have created in the past. ”

The stone forest was once again as dead as ashes.

"If you feel like you're failing right now, then congratulations, at least you still have a little conscience. Lin Xiaotian let out a sigh, and then glanced at him lightly, "Go and return the rest of your salary to me, I won't count the interest, inflation, or whatever." In the future, it will be better to treat his subordinates as part-time workers, they will not be easy. Besides, since they are willing to sweat and pay with you, it means that they trust you, and don't let down this trust again. ”

With that, he got out of the car and walked straight into the factory.

Soon, Shi Lin took the remaining three hundred and fifty yuan to the office to find him.

When he saw Lin Xiaotian again, his hands were shaking.

"Director Shi, don't be nervous. I'm not God, I'm not here to take revenge on you. Lin Xiaotian took the money, then patted him on the shoulder, and left with a smile on his face.

He no longer cares about whether the products of the Stone Forest Factory can pass the inspection. He didn't care what kind of fate awaited Shi Lin. At this moment, he only knows that his dream of more than ten years ago has been achieved.

That feeling. It's cool!

With the wages he had recovered, he drove directly to the mall, bought his father a set of clothes that fit, and then rushed home.

Dad was naturally overjoyed to see him go back. But after seeing the price of the set of clothes he sent, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and repeatedly reprimanded him for being extravagant and wasteful.

Lin Xiaotian smiled and did not refute.

In the afternoon, when he was accompanying his father, he suddenly received a call from Wu Allure. Wu Chengcheng's voice was very nervous, and after saying "hurry up to the group headquarters", he hurriedly hung up the phone.

When Lin Xiaotian heard her voice so eager, he immediately knew that he was afraid that something big had happened, and after hurriedly saying hello to his family, he hurriedly drove to the Dadi Group.

When he arrived at the group, the front desk hurriedly greeted him warmly because of the experience of the previous car.

Lin Xiaotian didn't notice her, and rushed directly past her.

The front desk chuckled in his heart, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his performance yesterday, and he couldn't help but become nervous again.

Lin Xiaotian naturally didn't notice that it was because of his momentary negligence that he would bring such a big psychological burden to others......

After rushing to the office, he saw that Wu Chengcheng was frowning, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Chengcheng didn't speak, just turned on the computer, and then clicked on an email.

At the top of the mail is a prominent umbrella logo.

"What are they sending us an email for?" Lin Xiaotian recognized the meaning of the logo at a glance, and asked with some shock in his eyes.

Wu Chengcheng rubbed his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little distressed: "You can read the content yourself." ”

Lin Xiaotian stared at the computer screen, quickly dragged the mouse, and read the content of the email. After reading the contents of the email, he sank into the water and whispered, "How could they hijack our ship and offer such a high amount of extortion. ”

"I used to think it was strange why the shipment hadn't arrived in Mingzhu for so long, and the people in charge of shipping couldn't be contacted. As a result, just before I could call you, I received an email from the Protector/Umbrella Pirates. Wu Chengcheng rubbed his head.

Lin Xiaotian frowned and asked in a low voice, "How many things have been hijacked?"

"This ship carries a large amount of jade raw materials that you purchased from Qin Zhenshan, as well as a large number of limited-edition luxury goods from all over the world, with a total value of no less than 700 million. In addition, there are many precious jewels under our own Dadi Group, with a total value of about 500 million. If, as required by the Umbrella Pirates, we have to pay a ransom of at least twenty percent of the value of the cargo on board before they will be released. ”

"Twenty percent? Didn't they break their own rules? In the past, weren't they all thunderbolts, and they only charged a ransom of eight percent of the value of the goods? How could they suddenly violate their principles this time? Lin Xiaotian had a flash of doubt in his heart, and then asked, "Were the other boats passing by the nearby waters with our ship hijacked?"

"We haven't heard from it yet. A trace of worry flashed in Wu Chengcheng's eyes, "Actually, if it's just those 1.2 billion goods, I may not be so distressed." It's just that now Dadi Group has just gained a foothold in Mingzhu, and it just so happens that the ship is carrying the goods needed for some important orders that Dadi Group has just received after settling in. If we can't deliver the goods on time, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Dadi Group, and it will make it more difficult for Dadi Group to develop in Mingzhu in the future. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian quickly skimmed through the email again. After reading the email, he thought for a moment, and then whispered, "Give them an email." ”

"Replying to the email?" "As if he realized what he wanted to do, he bounced straight out of his seat, "If you want to agree to their request, I will definitely not agree." ”

"Allure, you know me. If I didn't have faith, I wouldn't do it. Lin Xiaotian didn't say anything to persuade him.

"Yes, I understand you. But this time it was different. Wu Chengcheng's voice was full of determination, "This time it's the protection \/umbrella pirate group, the king of the sea that many countries have united to exterminate, but have not been able to exterminate. Although the defenders are strong, they are only in control of the voice on land. Once you are in the sea, if you don't have special training in advance, I'm afraid you won't be able to show half of your strength. Moreover, you should also be well aware of how advanced the equipment of the protection \ / umbrella pirate regiment is. Once they have the intention of killing you, they will directly bombard you with a guide/bomb, in the vast sea, can you dodge?"

"Allure ......" Before Lin Xiaotian finished speaking, Wu Allure directly covered his mouth.

"Needless to say, it's not negotiable. Her tone was noncommittal, "And you should also be aware that the pirate group's blackmail letter this time is very problematic. If it's just a ransom, they can give us a bank account and let us send the money. They actually asked us to send someone to trade in person. Nine times out of ten, I think they have other plans besides the ransom. ”
