Chapter 8: Seeing the Old Man Again
"Ahh ”
"I'm sorry, so be it. Lin Nan took out ten yuan to pay the fare and walked straight to the jewelry store.
Step through the automatic revolving glass doors and enter the store to reveal the striking white floor tiles and rows of glass cabinets.
I remember the last time I was the store manager here was three years ago, and now after such a long time, there are very few familiar faces, and most of them are new employees.
Lin Nan looked around and found the woman, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That woman's name is Zhao Xiaoxiao.
She is not tall, her face is delicate and combed with a single ponytail, her figure is generally a little flat-chested, and her appearance can only be regarded as middle and upper at first glance, and the only advantage is the goose egg face and the big dark and smart eyes.
Just as Lin Nan was about to go over to talk, two sturdy men in black came in outside.
They have scars on their faces, and tattoos can be seen on their bare wrists, which are not serious at first glance.
Lin Nan frowned and pretended to look at the jewelry in the corner.
I saw the two black-clothed men walking towards Zhao Xiaoxiao menacingly and directly surrounding her.
The man in black whispered a few words with a vicious expression, and Zhao Xiaoxiao's face turned pale after hearing this, and his legs were a little weak.
I don't know what the man in black said, Zhao Xiaoxiao kept nodding his head.
Soon, the two men in black left.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the jewelry store employees got off work, and they all picked up their small bags and walked outside the store, but no one looked at her when they passed by Zhao Xiaoxiao.
It wasn't until the middle-aged man dressed as the manager walked over that he glared at Zhao Xiaoxiao with threatening eyes and whispered: "Don't be ignorant, this matter is also good for you!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled, gritted her teeth and nodded silently.
It seems that Zhao Xiaoxiao is on duty tonight, and the female shopping guide is all gone, leaving only two old security guards smoking outside, and Zhao Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lin Nan waited for all the employees inside to go before entering the store again.
He stared at Zhao Xiaoxiao, and a wisp of precious divine consciousness remaining in his body emanated, inspecting Zhao Xiaoxiao's body like a tentacle.
After a while, Lin Nan looked overjoyed, and it was indeed a 'spirit furnace'!
The spirit furnace is a saying in the fairy world.
Its real effect is that it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and accumulate it in the body, helping the martial artist greatly increase his cultivation speed. The top-level spirit furnace in the immortal world can even empower an ordinary person and directly create an immortal monarch!
As for what grade Zhao Xiaoxiao is in the spirit furnace, it must be made clear by specific contact.
Lin Nan's heart became hot, with the help of a spiritual furnace in a place like the earth, where the spiritual energy was weak, how could the speed of cultivation increase several times?
It can be said that with the help of the spirit furnace, the time for Lin Nan to impact the Innate God Realm would be shortened by at least half.
While thinking about it, 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 didn't seem to hear it, and still drooped her head in a daze.
Lin Nan raised his voice a little: "Hello, how much is this?"
"Ahh
Zhao Xiaoxiao was taken aback, only to find out that there was a customer, and couldn't help blushing in panic, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." ”
But when Zhao Xiaoxiao raised her head, she was instantly stunned, covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "Store manager?"
Although he hadn't seen him for three years, Lin Nan's appearance had changed a lot from the beginning, but Zhao Xiaoxiao was very impressed by those dark and clear eyes, and immediately recognized him!
"Hehe, when Lin Ao came, you still spoke for me, and you didn't have time to thank you. Lin Nan smiled, "Let's go, let's go out for a supper together?"
Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiao to speak, Lin Nan had already handed a box of cigarettes to the two old security guards at the door, asked them to look at the store, and then took Zhao Xiaoxiao to a café.
On the way, Lin Nan asked, "What's the matter with those two men in black, who dare to mess around in the Lin Group's store?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't speak, her eyes were gloomy.
11 o'clock in the evening, in the café.
At night, there are few people, and the shop is quiet.
Zhao Xiaoxiao sat opposite Lin Nan with red and swollen eyes, the coffee on the table was steaming, and she didn't move.
Lin Nan frowned, and there was a layer of anger on his face. "You mean Lin Ao planted the blame for you?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhao Xiaoxiao bit her lip, "Last month, I lost a pure gold necklace in the store, and the manager said that the compensation was at least 400,000 yuan, and I was the only one on duty in the store that day, and the monitoring was deleted, and they all said that I stole it." ”
"But I didn't steal, I'm not that kind of person!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao hid her face and cried, she had no father, she came out to work after dropping out of school, and most of her savings were used on her seriously ill mother, and she was poor at all.
"Then Lin Ao found you?" Lin Nan squinted, originally wanting to move this 'second brother' a little later, but he couldn't blame others for his own death.
Lin Nan looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao and said, "Tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ao will send someone to pick you up?
Zhao Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "He said that as long as he went over, he would write off the affairs of the store." ”
"Listen to me, don't go. Lin Nan shook his head, "I'll help you with this." ”
Zhao Xiaoxiao looked struggling, and finally nodded.
Lin Nan patted her on the shoulder, "I'll pick you up after work tomorrow, don't worry about Lin Ao, I'll clean him up." ”
"Hmm. Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded tremblingly.
After sending Zhao Xiaoxiao back, Lin Nan took a taxi again and went to Lin's house.
Soon we arrived at our destination.
It's a huge estate.
Inside the estate there is a path paved with cobblestones. It is flanked by rows of willow trees with branches gently swaying in the night breeze, and next to it is a creek that has been dug out by hand with clear water.
