Small Farmer Medical God

Chapter 1716 - 1711: Tit for Tat

"Yes! I understand!"

Hearing Ou Jingtian’s words, the assistant didn’t continue this topic and instead shifted the focus back to Hu Xiaobei.

"Manager, that Hu Xiaobei is just a bit stubborn. You really don’t need to get upset with him."

Glancing at his assistant, he spoke coldly, "Just a bit stubborn? I don’t think so. I’ve met many, many people, and I feel he really has a lot of vitality. Investigate his information carefully for me now; I need to know everything about him!"

Ou Jingtian knows that Shangguan Xue is not someone who easily admits defeat, so now she has brought in Hu Xiaobei, surely intending to do something.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

In this situation, he must understand Hu Xiaobei as much as possible; only then can he plan the next strategy and laugh until the end.

Feeling he was making a fuss over nothing, the assistant quickly spoke up, "Manager, I think there’s no need! Even if this Hu Xiaobei has some skills, so what? Can he really change the overall situation?"

Ou Jingtian, being questioned, looked coldly at him, "Why? Can I not give you orders anymore?"

"Manager, how could that be possible! I was just saying casually, just saying casually. Don’t worry, I’ll investigate right away, I’ll go investigate immediately."

Feeling Ou Jingtian’s anger, he quickly spoke up.

He knew there would be no benefit in upsetting Ou Jingtian, so he directly changed his tone!

Hearing his nervous explanation, Ou Jingtian’s expression slightly eased, "Alright! Also, speed up the renovation, finish it within five days!"

"Five days?"

Seeing his bitter expression, Ou Jingtian said coldly, "Why? Didn’t you confidently say before that it could be completed in seven days? Since it can be done in seven days, bringing it forward by two days shouldn’t be a big problem, unless you were lying to me before!"

"Manager, I... how could I lie to you! Alright, five days it is, I guarantee the task will be completed."

"Alright!"

Gently nodding, he quickly opened the car door and got into the car.

The assistant watched him get in the car and silently sighed.

Right now, he really wanted to slap himself...

"Damn it, I shouldn’t have bragged in front of him before, now we’ve lost two days, hopefully it can still be completed."

Muttering to himself this way, he quickly got into the car too.

Just as he got in, he heard an absolutely venomous growl, "Hu Xiaobei, you won this time, but when I come back next time, I’ll completely let you know how formidable I am."

...

In the following days, Hu Xiaobei kept learning about jade in the store.

Because Hu Xiaobei is very smart, he learned a lot in just a few days.

"Xiaobei, my little brother, I don’t know if I should say I’m a good teacher or you’re a good learner, in just a few days, you’ve already learned quite a lot, truly impressive."

Shangguan Xue looked at Hu Xiaobei with wide eyes and open mouth, truly shocked by him, because in just a few days, he had learned it all.

Really!

Right now, Shangguan Xue feels she has nothing left to teach.

"You should say you’re a good teacher, but more importantly, I’m smart!"

"You really are humble!"

"I’m just being honest!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei glanced opposite and quietly said, "Looks like Ou Jingtian really couldn’t hold back! He’s going so crazy with the renovation; it’s only the fifth day!"

"Yes, normally, such a store wouldn’t be renovated in less than a month, but they’re really crazy, it’s only the fifth day and it’s almost done."

"The renovation workers are also almost exhausted!"

Looking at those thoroughly fatigued people, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t exaggerating; they really had eyes bloodshot.

Looking from afar, they truly resembled rabbits.

While Hu Xiaobei and Shangguan Xue sympathized with those workers like this, Ou Jingtian’s assistant exhaled a little.

Because he had carefully calculated and knew today they could finish.

"Luckily, finishing on the last day!"

Letting out a sigh of relief, he hurriedly headed straight to Ou Jingtian’s office, naturally ready to claim some credit.

In his view, completing it in five days should earn him a lot of praise.

"Manager, it’s me!"

Arriving at the room’s door, he took a deep breath and quickly knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Hearing this hoarse voice open, he quickly pushed the door and went in.

After entering, he was about to speak and claim credit but got frightened.

"Manager, what’s... what’s wrong with you?"

He was really bewildered, realizing Ou Jingtian looked pale.

Looking like someone who has just undergone surgery and is suffering from a loss of vitality.

"I’m just a bit inflamed!"

With a hoarse reply, he picked up the water cup and gulped down a large mouthful.

After drinking, he said hoarsely, "Let’s not talk about my problem now, how’s the renovation at the store going?"

"It’s near completion; it can open soon."

"Okay, you’ve done well on this. I will definitely reward you!"

"It’s what I should do!"

Hearing Ou Jingtian mention reward, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

However, he controlled himself...

"Hmm, did you manage to investigate Hu Xiaobei as I asked before?"

"Manager, I’ve got it clear. That Hu Xiaobei really has some skills!"

Taking a deep breath, he detailed the information about Hu Xiaobei’s investigation very thoroughly.

After finishing, he quietly waited for Ou Jingtian to speak.

After listening to his entire narration, Ou Jingtian took another gulp of water, "According to your explanation, Shangguan Xue really clung to a very strong leg this time?"

"That’s right! But this doesn’t affect the overall situation. As long as our jade shop opens, we can crazily slash prices. At that point, no matter how great their skills are, they won’t be able to do anything, because their financial power isn’t as strong as ours!"

"Indeed! Alright, let’s go check out the store now!"

"Sure!"

Quickly agreeing, he stepped forward to help Ou Jingtian up...

...

"Huh? Ou Jingtian came again, but this time he doesn’t look too good!"

In the jade store, Hu Xiaobei saw the familiar Ou Jingtian appear across and spoke indifferently.

Hu Xiaobei is good at observing, questioning, and examining, so he saw at a glance that his vitality was really weak.

"That Ou Jingtian is great at everything except being a bit petty. Surely, after going back before, he got more and more upset, so now it’s normal for him to be weak."

Shangguan Xue understands him better than Hu Xiaobei, so she glanced and quickly commented.

Hearing Shangguan Xue’s ridicule, Hu Xiaobei suddenly realized, "Is that so! Then he shouldn’t come again now! Otherwise, he might get even more upset going back!"

"Haha! Xiaobei, my little brother, being with you, I’ll laugh myself to death soon, you’re really funny!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s humor, Shangguan Xue laughed happily...

"It’s not humor, it’s the truth! It’s rude not to reciprocate; previously, he came to our store, now let’s go check out his store!"

"Okay!"

Shangguan Xue readily agreed to Hu Xiaobei’s suggestion...

Seeing her agree, Hu Xiaobei grabbed her fair hand and strode across.
