The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Lin Xin'er realized that these people had deliberately teamed up to deceive her.

She gritted her teeth, glared at everyone, and said, "Fine, you all dare to treat me like a fool and try to fool me. Looks like I've been too lenient with you. Today, I'm going to get my dad to shut down your little shabby shop!"

Others might not know Lin Xin'er's identity, but Zhao Qian did.

Ten years ago, her father was just a minor member of parliament with little power, but after a series of political struggles, he successfully rose to power.

He rose to become the country's vice president, a position second only to the president.

If she were to report him to his father without any investigation, the shop might really suffer.

After much deliberation, Zhao Qian decided that she couldn't let her personal grudges implicate innocent people.

With a composed and delicate face, she said, "Lin Xin'er, if you're angry, just take it out on me. There's no need to threaten the shopkeeper. If you like this tie clip, you can take it. I don't want it."

Lin Xin'er, hands on her hips, said imperiously, "Who cares about your junk? Today you either kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize, or you give me double the money back! Otherwise, I'll let everyone know that this jewelry store is a shady operation, and see who dares to buy anything from you in the future!"

Store Manager Tan didn't want to escalate the situation, so he quickly tried to persuade her, "Ms. Lin, this is all a misunderstanding. Please calm down. We can talk things over properly. Please don't make jokes like this."

Lin Xin'er glared at her fiercely, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

If this had happened to someone else, they might have actually been frightened by Lin Xin'er.

But it happened to Shen Yanran. Ever since she married Li Zhanting, she has never been afraid of anyone, let alone threatened.

Shen Yanran said in an extremely cold voice, "It doesn't matter whether Miss Lin is joking or not, but our shop is too small to accommodate a guest as important as you. Please leave."

Lin Xin'er was surprised that this woman surnamed Shen still disregarded her so much. "You're kicking me out?"

Shen Yanran gently shook her head, "No, I'm asking you to leave. Manager Tan, please see the guest out."

Store Manager Tan was naturally aware of Shen Yanran's true identity. Behind her was the president of Shengtian International. Since Shen Yanran had said so, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Store Manager Tan extended his hand and said, "Ms. Lin, please."

How could Lin Xin'er just leave like that? She immediately signaled the two bodyguards behind her to take action against Shen Yanran. "It seems you're going to refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences. I'm giving you a chance to change your ways, but you won't listen. Don't blame me for being impolite. Ashan, Ahe, make that Shen guy kneel down before me."

The bodyguards' main purpose was to protect Lin Xin'er's safety, but now that she's ordering them around, they have no choice but to obey.

"Yes, ma'am."

The bodyguards walked toward Shen Yanran with icy expressions.

Song Lingxue realized something was wrong and immediately stood in front of Shen Yanran, shouting, "What do you want to do? Don't come any closer, or we'll call the police."

"Please move aside." The bodyguard did not want to harm innocent people.

Store Manager Tan and Zhang Juan also mustered their courage and joined Song Lingxue in stopping the bodyguards.

You have to understand that Shen Yanran is Li Zhanting's woman. You can't afford to offend anyone, not her. They don't even want to think about what would happen to them.

But how could Lin Xin'er, who had just come from the capital, possibly know Shen Yanran? All she wanted now was to vent her anger for the humiliation she had just suffered!

"Why are you being so polite with them? Let's fight!"

Without hesitation, the two bodyguards reached out and shoved the woman blocking their way aside in a few swift movements.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Lingxue quickly protected Shen Yanran and ran downstairs. "Sister Yanran, you go first, I'll hold them off for you."

How could Shen Yanran let someone else get hurt for her? Her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly as she said, "Xiaoxue, don't worry, we'll be fine."

After saying that, she took out her phone and made a call, saying, "I've run into some trouble, can you come in for a moment?"

Just as she finished speaking, four men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses walked in, running into Lin Xin'er's two bodyguards.

The customers who were still choosing items on the first floor were completely bewildered. What was going on?

Bodyguard vs. Bodyguard?

Is a fight about to break out?

Lin Xin followed closely behind and ran downstairs. She was also stunned to see four men who looked like bodyguards protecting Shen Yanran.

These days, people who can afford to hire bodyguards are either very rich or very powerful.

Could it be that Shen Yanran is not just a designer?

Shen Yanran didn't want this to affect the store's business, so she stepped out from behind the bodyguard and said, "Miss Lin, as you can see, if a fight really breaks out, you will be the one who suffers. So I hope you can leave quietly."

Lin Xin'er had never been treated like this before. The bodyguards her father hired for her were the best in the country. She didn't believe that Shen Yanran's four bodyguards were more capable than her two.

She retorted defiantly, "So what if you outnumber us? We're not even sure who'll win! You two, beat them to a pulp! If anything happens, it's on me!"

She has never been afraid of anyone since she was a child. Anyway, with her father, who is the vice president, backing her up, even if she really beat someone badly, she can handle it.

Most importantly, she wants that woman to pay the price for her previous foolish actions!

The bodyguards hesitated for a few seconds. Based on their experience, they judged that the other party's skills were no less than theirs. They were already at a disadvantage in a two-on-four fight, and if a real fight broke out, they might not be able to win.

Seeing that they were not making a move, Lin Xin'er was furious and her face turned ashen. Just as she was about to urge the two bodyguards to make a move, her cell phone in her Chanel bag suddenly started ringing incessantly.

She was extremely annoyed and wanted to smash her phone on the ground, but then she realized it was her father calling.

Lin Xin'er quickly answered the phone, her voice filled with grievance as she complained, "Dad, I've been bullied! Come and save me!"

Lin Haiyuan didn't believe that anyone would bully her when she had two professional bodyguards protecting her, especially since his text messages proved that she had just spent 2.5 million yuan at a jewelry store.

Being able to shop means the person is okay.

It's unlikely that anyone would be so foolish as to rob a jewelry store in broad daylight.

So he called to ask what Lin Xin'er bought that cost so much money in one go.

Although he doted on her and spoiled her, never refusing to buy her anything she wanted, 2.5 million was nothing to him.

But this only applies under normal circumstances.

Now that he is in the midst of a new presidential election, every action he takes as vice president is subject to public scrutiny, including from his family.

Before coming to Haicheng, Lin Haiyuan specifically instructed Lin Xin'er not to buy anything worth more than 100,000 yuan. Even if she liked it, she had to hold back. After the presidential election, she could buy whatever she wanted.

Lin Haiyuan said in a somewhat serious voice, "With bodyguards with you, who would dare to bully you? You just know how to scare your father. Tell me first, what did you buy with that 2.5 million?"

Lin Xin'er, her voice choked with sobs, tearfully recounted her ordeal at the jewelry store to Lin Haiyuan, embellishing the story: "Dad, I'm telling the truth! I was ripped off while shopping at the jewelry store. They tricked me into spending 2.5 million on something that was clearly worth 500,000. When I exposed them, they got furious and hired people to beat me up. Dad, if you don't come to my rescue, they're going to beat me to death!"

Lin Haiyuan couldn't bear to see his daughter cry. He immediately stood up and said with a heavy expression, "What! In broad daylight, there is such a black shop? Xin'er, don't be afraid, Daddy is coming to save you right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xin'er's face, which had just been tearful and aggrieved, instantly turned smug. "Hmph, when my dad gets here, you're all dead meat!"

Shen Yanran wasn't afraid at all. She thought it would be better to have her father come over and talk things out properly than for the two sides to fight.

But the scene had already become so chaotic, and there were so many onlookers around, which was really having a bad influence. So she asked Song Lingxue and the shop assistants to discuss letting the customers leave first and closing the shop for half a day.

If you wish to pay, you can purchase at a 50% discount.

Anyway, with the 2.5 million paid by Lin Xin'er, it's enough to make up for all the store's losses.

While customers were eager to see the spectacle, they were even more willing to buy jewelry at a 50% discount—a price unavailable during any holiday.

Before we knew it, more and more people were paying their bills.

Lin Xin'er grew increasingly angry, feeling as if she had been insulted once again, but she endured it.

She was waiting for her father to come and stand up for her, so that she could make this arrogant woman kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

About half an hour.

The customers left one after another.

Lin Xin'er's father, Lin Haiyuan, also arrived at the store.

He was followed by four or five bodyguards.

Judging from his appearance, he is indeed someone of extraordinary status.

As soon as Lin Haiyuan entered the store, he rushed to his daughter and looked her up and down carefully, saying, "Xin'er, Xin'er, are you alright? Who bullied you? Tell Daddy quickly."

Lin Xin'er immediately put on a delicate and aggrieved look, and said in a choked voice, "Daddy, why did you take so long to come? Xin'er was almost bullied to death by them. Look, they cheated me out of 2.5 million yuan for such a small tie clip. I had no choice but to buy it."

Lin Haiyuan has been a prominent figure in high society for many years and has seen all kinds of precious jewelry. Although the tie clip in his precious daughter's hand looks luxurious and exquisite, it is worth no more than 500,000 yuan, and it is definitely not 2.5 million yuan.

His daughter was indeed scammed.

Lin Haiyuan gently held Lin Xin'er's soft little hand and comforted her with a face full of heartache, "Okay, Daddy understands. Daddy will take care of it for you."

But when he turned around, he had a serious and deep expression. "Which of you tricked my daughter into buying this? Don't you know that's illegal? Apologize to my daughter right now and turn yourselves in to the police station!"

Shen Yanran said frankly, "Sir, it seems a bit inappropriate to conclude that we have broken the law based solely on your daughter's account."

Lin Haiyuan looked over upon hearing the sound, and froze the moment his gaze fell on Shen Yanran's face.
