Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Sending Home
The bald boss saw Qin Tian coming out and quickly put on a big smile. He said, “Boss Qin, turns out you haven’t left! I thought you were just joking when you mentioned giving me money earlier.”
Qin Tian’s face was icy cold as Wang Yan had instructed earlier; they stayed hidden behind the hotel walls but heard the bald boss and Wang Yan’s conversation clearly.
Upon hearing what the bald boss said, Qin Tian snorted coldly and said, “Of course I’ll give your money, but you must repay your debt.”
Hearing Qin Tian’s words, which were so similar to Wang Yan’s, the bald boss was taken aback, blinked, and stared straight at Qin Tian.
At that moment, Qin Tian reached into his pocket, pulled out a wad of cash, and slapped it into the bald boss’s hand.
As soon as the bald boss saw it, he knew it was ten thousand yuan. His face broke into a smile, “Ah—ah—Boss Qin, you… you actually gave it, you… you’re too generous.”
With that, the bald boss stuffed the ten thousand yuan into his pocket.
Then, turning to Wang Yan, the bald boss said, “Kiddo, you see, this is the real boss’s style. Someone like you, just a poor kid, only suited to run errands.”
But just then, Qin Tian turned to Wang Yan and said, “Boss, the money is given to him. How should he repay the debt you mentioned earlier?”
Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, the bald boss was stunned. He blinked, looked at Wang Yan, then at Qin Tian, not understanding the relationship between the two.
Just then, Wang Yan coldly said, “Scum like him who loves money so much, send him to Heaven and Earth and see how much money he can fetch.”
“Got it,” Qin Tian immediately responded and signaled to a few underlings behind him.
A few of the underlings stepped forward behind the bald boss, grabbed his arms, and lifted him up in one swoop.
The bald boss was shocked and shouted, “Boss Qin, what’s going on?”
Qin Tian said, “You heard earlier too. Your money is returned, but your debt must be repaid.”
The bald boss yelled, “But Boss Qin, this ten thousand yuan is what you gave me, nothing to do with that errand boy.”
Qin Tian sneered, “Open your eyes wide. The person standing in front of you is my boss; all my money comes from him. So this ten thousand yuan is also what he repaid you.”
“What? Your boss? How could he be your boss? What… what’s really going on?” The bald boss was stupefied, unable to believe his ears.
Meanwhile, Qin Tian’s underlings had already lifted the bald boss and were heading out.
The bald boss was urgently shouting, “Spare me, spare me, Boss Qin… oh no, errand brother, I’m old and unattractive. Going to Heaven and Earth, I won’t be able to do anything.”
Qin Tian laughed, “There’s all sorts at Heaven and Earth; I heard they’re always looking for old men to abuse. You seem perfect for the role.”
On hearing Qin Tian’s words, the bald boss turned pale with fear.
The terrifying tales of Heaven and Earth were etched in his mind, and he knew once in, there was no coming out.
Was he really going to be sold to Heaven and Earth for some sort of masochist role?
“Help—help—”
The bald boss’s cries grew fainter and gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Tang Jingyi, who was at the corner, heard the cries, quickly ran over but could only vaguely hear the bald boss shouting, without seeing what was happening.
However, seeing Wang Yan and Qin Tian standing there unharmed, Tang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wang Yan, where’s the boss? How did he leave? Did you really persuade him?” Tang Jingyi asked in shock.
Wang Yan nodded and said, “Yes, he was nice. After a few words from me, he immediately decided not to ask us for money.”
“Really?” Tang Jingyi looked skeptical and turned her gaze to Qin Tian.
Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly nodded and said, “Really, this… this fellow here is really good at conversations. Not only did the bald boss drop the money issue, he even stopped running his shop and went off to do charity.”
Hearing this, Tang Jingyi’s eyes widened in excitement, “Wang Yan, you were amazing today. You helped me so much; how should I thank you?”
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said, “I didn’t really help much, just said a few more words.”
Tang Jingyi shook her head, “Those few words were a huge help to me. I must repay you. Quickly tell me, how should I repay you?”
Tang Jingyi spoke while playfully tilting her head forward and pouting her rosy lips adorably.
Seeing Tang Jingyi’s cute demeanor, Wang Yan felt the same electrifying sensation earlier. Frightened, he took half a step back, waved his hands, and said, “No need, no need. It’s late; we should head back now. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
Seeing Wang Yan wanting to leave, although Tang Jingyi was somewhat reluctant, as a girl, she couldn’t be too forward, thus looked at Wang Yan with deep eyes full of reluctance.
However, standing beside them, Qin Tian became anxious. He thought: my boss, after an evening of work, is about to succeed, and you’re slipping away—what’s this all about? Just now when the girl asked how to repay you, you could’ve just said ‘with your love’. It would be much simpler.
Seeing Wang Yan really wanting to go, Qin Tian quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying, “Hey… uh, buddy, it’s already dark. You can’t let the girl go home alone. It could be dangerous.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan paused and looked at Qin Tian, asking, “Really?”
Qin Tian nodded seriously and said, “Of course, it’s true. You must escort her home; it’s courteous.”
Wang Yan nodded, saying, “Makes sense. Alright, Tang Jingyi, let me escort you home.”
Tang Jingyi’s heart soared upon hearing this but expressed her gratitude with a bashful nod while lowering her head, “Thank you.”
Watching Wang Yan escort Tang Jingyi home, Qin Tian remained behind shouting, “Make sure to escort her home. It’s courtesy, make sure to escort her into the house, even better into the bedroom—”
After Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi disappeared from sight, Qin Tian finally stopped yelling, though his voice was almost hoarse. Clearing his throat, he thought: Boss, I’ve helped you as much as I could. Escorting her to the bedroom, preferably to the bed. Damn, if this helps the boss make a mini-boss next year, I should get some credit, right? Could I be the godfather? Wait, why would I get any credit if they have a kid?! Pah, I wonder who the mini-boss would resemble? The boss or the lady boss?
Qin Tian muttered quietly while slowly walking in the opposite direction.
