Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 79: The Little Lotus Just Begins to Show its Point

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Little Lotus Just Begins to Show its Point

"I don’t think I need your advice," Wu Tian said, shaking his head.

"Are you so sure?" Qin Yuhan smiled. "You must have many questions about business to ask me."

"No," Wu Tian said, shaking his head. "In a few days, I’ll be a business prodigy."

Qin Yuhan gave Wu Tian a look one might give an idiot and laughed. "Stop talking nonsense. You won’t be the number one business prodigy in Yang City. I just did some research. Everyone says the Nalan Group has a man named Hua Biehe, who was once famous on Wall Street. His performance at Nalan Group is even better than our corporation’s Nangong Yi. If Nalan Feng knew how to recognize talent, Hua Biehe would have risen through the ranks long ago. Now that Nalan Feng is blind and Nalan Jie is in power, he’s being heavily promoted. I think every company CEO in Yang City believes Hua Biehe is the one most likely to be noticed by the Kuangte Family and become number one."

"No, you misunderstood. That’s not what I meant," Wu Tian said.

Hearing this, Qin Yuhan smiled. I knew you were talking nonsense. She calmly took a drink from the office refrigerator, opened it, and took a sip.

"I didn’t say I was number one in Yang City. I said I’m the number one business prodigy in the world."

PFFT.

She sprayed out a mouthful of her drink. Staring at Wu Tian in amazement, she said, "You really have some nerve. The world’s number one business prodigy? I’d be satisfied if you could just become number one in our corporation."

Before long, a bell rang throughout the corporation. Qin Yuhan sat up straight in her chair and said seriously, "Alright, it’s time for work. You should head back."

Wu Tian smiled and left.

Watching Wu Tian’s departing figure, Qin Yuhan was still a bit dazed. I can’t believe he’s so audacious. The world’s number one business prodigy? How is that even possible? Besides Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the person in Dragon Country most likely to earn that title is the old master of the Li family from the Five Surnames and Seven Families. It would never be Wu Tian’s turn.

As Wu Tian left the office, a smile played on his lips. Oh, my dear wife, you really underestimate your husband. There are some abilities I can’t show you yet, lest I frighten you. But the title of a mere business prodigy? I’ll take it just to make you happy. The Kuangte Family is nothing. On the surface, I’ll let them think they’re evaluating me, but behind the scenes, I will be the one to conquer them.

Wu Tian hadn’t yet returned to the logistics department, but a few people had already arrived: the security patrol, led by Liu Feng.

Relying on his connection as the brother-in-law of a board member, Liu Feng threw his weight around the corporation. He would report the slightest thing that displeased him, turning minor mistakes into serious incidents. Of course, he also hoped one of the beautiful women at Qin Corporation would take a fancy to him, especially Li Muge. He had always coveted her alluring charm, but he didn’t dare pursue her. Instead, he could only watch her from afar, determined that no one else would get close. Recently, he had noticed Li Muge gazing at Wu Tian’s back, which, in his opinion, was undoubtedly Wu Tian’s fault.

When Wu Tian finally returned to the logistics department, Liu Feng confronted him with a stern expression. "Hey! You’re the head of this department. Where did you just go?"

"The president sent for me," Wu Tian said.

Hearing this, Liu Feng knew his report had worked. He was overjoyed, assuming Wu Tian had just been thoroughly scolded by Qin Yuhan. "Speaking more with the president can certainly be... educational," he said with schadenfreude.

Wu Tian smiled. "Yes, I quite enjoy speaking with her."

Liu Feng figured Wu Tian was just putting on a brave face. Who wouldn’t be scared of getting chewed out by the president?

Wu Tian couldn’t be bothered arguing with someone as petty as Liu Feng and returned to his seat. Now, what books should I read to quickly become a business prodigy? he wondered. Noticing that Lin Fa had bought several books, Wu Tian casually picked one up and began to flip through it.

He didn’t read slowly, page by page. Instead, he fanned the pages, letting them flash before his eyes as if he could absorb the contents that way.

Seeing Wu Tian’s relaxed expression, Liu Feng grew irritated. He suddenly shouted, "The board of directors gave me a problem! I wonder if anyone here can solve it?"

This was his old trick. The problems weren’t necessarily from the board; most were difficult international business cases he had found himself. He did this often, counting on the silence that followed when no one could answer. He believed it made him seem like a business genius who understood complex challenges.

When no one in the logistics department responded, Liu Feng singled out Wu Tian. "You’re the head of this department. You answer it."

Anger flared in Wu Tian. You tell me to answer, so I have to answer? You’re just a security captain. Who the hell do you think you are?

For Qin Yuhan’s sake, Wu Tian didn’t want to cause trouble in the corporation, but that didn’t mean he was afraid of it.

Wu Tian stood up and walked toward Liu Feng.

"Good, you’re showing some initiative," Liu Feng said, his tone arrogant. "Now, answer me quickly. If a factory’s operations—"

He was only halfway through his sentence.

WHOOSH!

Wu Tian threw a casual punch.

ARGH!

Liu Feng crumpled to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Everyone was stunned. After all, Liu Feng had connections to the board of directors.

Wu Tian said calmly, "According to the rules, you were disrupting our work. You’re the one at fault."

After spitting up a good deal of foam, Liu Feng was helped to his feet by his subordinates. He glared coldly at Wu Tian. "You dare hit me? Working? Heh, how exactly are you working?"

"Oh? And what makes you think I’m not working?" Wu Tian asked with a smile.

Seeing Wu Tian’s smiling face, Liu Feng gritted his teeth. "Then answer my question!"

"If I answer correctly, you will crawl out of here," Wu Tian replied.

"Fine!" Liu Feng snapped.

He refused to believe Wu Tian could possibly answer it.

Wu Tian recalled the beginning of Liu Feng’s question, then picked up a pen and paper and began to draft a plan.

Come on, Boss! Put him in his place for being so arrogant! Lin Fa cheered for Wu Tian in his head.

"Our department head probably can’t do it."

"Yeah, I think that case is about the factory in Jiangnan that went bankrupt last year. It was a lost cause."

"If anyone in our corporation could devise a plan to save it, it would have to be Nangong Yi."

Just then, Nangong Yi happened to be passing by on the same floor with Bing Hong and his other sycophants. Seeing the commotion and hearing the others praise him, Nangong Yi smiled, basking in the compliments. He shot Wu Tian a triumphant look. So what if you can fight? When it comes to business acumen, you’re leagues behind me.

At that moment, Wu Tian finished writing. He handed the page to Liu Feng and said, "Here. This business problem of yours is child’s play."

"Keep talking," Liu Feng scoffed, refusing to believe him.
