Chapter 1713 - 1708: Traitors in Our Midst

"It should be that Shangguan Xue knows that normal competition is impossible to succeed, so she started to look for alternative paths. But she’s just talking nonsense because the gap between her strength and ours is simply too big."

Hearing this reasoning, Ou Jingtian narrowed his eyes.

This theory is the most reasonable at this stage, but Ou Jingtian still felt something was off.

"Forget it, don’t think too much about it; everything will be clear once we meet that Hu Xiaobei!"

Murmuring to himself, he stopped pondering and closed his eyes to rest again.

The assistant saw him closing his eyes again and said nothing; he felt there was no need to discuss this matter further since winning was a foregone conclusion.

...

"Xiaobei, what do you think of the layout of my shop?"

Hu Xiaobei and Lv Xinxin weren’t aware that Ou Jingtian and others were approaching. At this moment, under Shangguan Xue’s guidance, they had arrived at her jadeite store.

"Not just okay, it’s simply wonderful."

Hu Xiaobei looked at this quaint jadeite store and sincerely praised it...

Hu Xiaobei was speaking honestly; this jadeite shop, though seemingly small, was arranged very thoughtfully.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s praise, Shangguan Xue smiled lightly, "From now on, this shop is yours. Let me give you a good tour."

"Sure!"

Hu Xiaobei agreed readily...

Having only taken a few steps, Hu Xiaobei realized something was amiss because all the staff had surrounded them.

"It seems they think I’m not fit to be this manager!"

As Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, he heard Shangguan Xue ask coldly, "Why are you all gathering around? Is there no need to work anymore?"

Shangguan Xue was genuinely angry at this moment because these people were repeatedly questioning her.

Upon hearing Shangguan Xue’s cold questioning, they realized she was truly offended.

Yet, despite this, they still had to speak up.

Because they couldn’t just stand by and watch Shangguan Xue stray down the wrong path.

"Manager Shangguan, we truly want to know why you chose him as the manager."

"Exactly!"

"If there is indeed a shortage of managers, we have plenty of suitable candidates here."

They had worked here for many years and had deep feelings for this place.

They wished for its continuation, so they really didn’t want an outsider to become the manager.

Hearing their persuasion, Shangguan Xue glanced at Hu Xiaobei and calmly stated, "I think he’s the most suitable candidate."

"This..."

Hearing her firm statement, they were speechless.

They really felt that Shangguan Xue must have been tricked by Hu Xiaobei to say something so baffling.

Seeing they were still speechless, Shangguan Xue thought for a moment and explained, "I know you have many doubts, but soon you will see his capabilities!"

"Manager Shangguan, can’t you just tell us what remarkable qualities he has now?"

"Exactly!"

"I..."

Shangguan Xue was about to respond when suddenly she heard the screeching sound of brakes.

Turning her head, Shangguan Xue saw a black car.

It was Ou Jingtian’s car!

Because she and Ou Jingtian were arch-rivals, she knew him well, and with just a glance, Shangguan Xue recognized the car as Ou Jingtian’s.

"What should come has finally come!"

The staff recognized it too, so they all sighed silently.

Shangguan Xue regained her composure at this moment, "Didn’t you all want to know what extraordinary qualities Xiaobei possesses? You will soon find out!"

Having said this, she looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, the new official must prove themselves with a big move. Your first target has appeared; don’t hold back, go all out."

"You’re really putting me on the spot!"

Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s frustrated look, Shangguan Xue leaned closer to him, blinked gently, and said, "I don’t want to do this either, but there’s no choice now; you must find a way to win them over, right?"

"Yes, you’re right about everything."

Hu Xiaobei sighed silently!

Hu Xiaobei knew that in this situation, he really needed to demonstrate something.

Fortunately, the opponent had arrived.

So indeed, when one is tired, someone will come to provide a pillow.

While Hu Xiaobei and she were conversing, Ou Jingtian stepped out of the car.

As he got out, the assistant quickly spoke in a flattering tone, "Manager, the store we acquired is being renovated. If all goes well, it will be completed within a week."

Hearing the timeframe, Ou Jingtian was slightly surprised and questioned, "A week? Isn’t that too short? I want the renovation to be top-notch this time!"

"I know you demand perfection, but even with such demands, a week should be sufficient! Additionally, manager, you know, the sooner we finish the renovations, the sooner we can launch a final offensive against Shangguan Xue. So, time waits for no one!"

"That’s true! But as I said before, there must be no mistakes, or I’ll hold you accountable, understand?"

"Rest assured, there won’t be a single mistake."

"Alright!"

Nodding slightly, Ou Jingtian stepped forward quickly, and the assistant took a deep breath and hurriedly followed.

To be honest, he also knew that a week was rather tight.

However, he had given strict orders for everyone to work overtime and put in extra effort.

Because the sooner the work was done, the sooner he could take credit in front of Ou Jingtian.

...

"A rare guest, what brings you here? Looking to buy some jadeite?"

Seeing Ou Jingtian walk in, Shangguan Xue spoke indifferently.

Shangguan Xue knew that she and Ou Jingtian had already torn off the pretense, so there was really no need to continue pretending.

"Not to buy jadeite, because I don’t lack jadeite, and frankly, you don’t have anything too precious here."

Saying this, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "I heard you hired a new manager, so I came to take a look."

"I just announced this news, how did you find out? It seems you really have people placed around me!"

"Don’t put it so harshly! It’s not about placement; it’s about birds choosing the right tree to nest in!"

After speaking, he glanced at two people in the room and said, "Alright, no need to stay undercover anymore, come back."

The two hesitated for a second before quickly walking to his side.

"This..."

All the staff were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t believe that these two people were actually Ou Jingtian’s.

"You truly disgust us!"

"Exactly!"

"Don’t let us see you again!"

"Indeed!"

Upon learning their true nature, everyone shouted furiously...

They were really angry at this moment because they couldn’t believe these two were such traitors...
