Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 540 - 512 Picking Faults
Having figured out Li Qing's personality, Lin Tian sneered silently, thinking to himself, "Li Qing, you look down on others and bully security guards; let's see how I deal with you in a moment."
The security guard really had a good temper; despite being humiliated by Li Qing, he still happily ran up to Li Qing.
"What are you doing here? Don't get in the way of my work, get out," Li Qing scolded.
The security guard quickly halted his steps, whispering, "Chairman, it's Mr. Fang Shaoxiong and someone else here to see you. The person with Mr. Fang is his elder brother, driving a Ferrari, a luxury car worth at least fifty million."
"What?" exclaimed Li Qing as he abruptly stood up, scolding, "What are you good for, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
The security guard felt wronged and thought to himself, "Chairman, I'm innocent! The moment I showed up you started shouting at me; how could I have told you?"
"Quickly bring them in," Li Qing hurriedly ordered.
The security guard jogged to the door, opened it, and with a smile, said to Lin Tian and the others, "Please come in."
Lin Tian, Fang Shaoxiong, and He Qianqian walked in, and upon entering, they saw Li Qing smiling broadly, bald, and extremely sleazy.
What angered Lin Tian was that Li Qing's gaze lingered on him for a second, on Fang Shaoxiong for a second, but on He Qianqian for a full three seconds.
Lin Tian made a judgment: Not only was Li Qing a bully who feared the tough and looked down on others, but he was also highly sleazy and lustful. Li Qing, he was nothing but scum for daring to covet my wife; if it weren't for the need to negotiate a deal, Lin Tian would've really liked to beat him to death.
It was beyond Lin Tian's understanding how the shareholders of Qianling Company could have possibly allowed someone like Li Qing to become the chairman. Because of Li Qing's presence, Lin Tian's impression of Qianling Company soured.
Li Qing was like a grain of rice that spoiled the whole pot of soup for Qianling Company.
Li Qing quickly grasped Lin Tian's hand, saying, "My subordinates don't understand etiquette and have slighted you. I'm truly sorry, truly sorry."
"What are you still standing there for? Get out of here," Li Qing rebuked the security guard.
The security guard hastily departed, and just before leaving, he still had a smile on his face as he gently closed the door. Lin Tian really admired his good temper.
Li Qing shook hands with Lin Tian and then with Fang Shaoxiong. Following that, he reached out to shake hands with He Qianqian.
Shake hands with He Qianqian? That was impossible. For someone as sleazy as Li Qing, Lin Tian felt it was an insult to He Qianqian; how could he possibly allow him to shake hands with her?
"Ahem..." Lin Tian grabbed He Qianqian's hand and said to Li Qing, "My wife has a thing about cleanliness; she only touches my hand. Other people's hands, especially other men's hands, she finds dirty!"
The comment left Li Qing dumbfounded. Not just Li Qing, but He Qianqian and Fang Shaoxiong were also stunned.
However, they quickly realized that they both found someone like Li Qing repulsive, and they knew Lin Tian was deliberately messing with him!
He Qianqian chimed in, "Yes, I'm sorry, Chairman Li, I only hold my husband's hand. Others' hands, I find dirty."
Then, He Qianqian gripped Lin Tian's hand tightly.
By all accounts, Li Qing should have been angry at this point, but Li Qing's thinking was different from others; he thought that since He Qianqian was so distinctive, and since Lin Tian was her husband and drove a Ferrari worth at least fifty million, Lin Tian must also be extraordinary, certainly not someone he could afford to provoke.
Li Qing laughed and said, "Not at all, not at all. Besides, my hands are indeed dirty, and to have insulted Miss Qianqian's hand is my fault, my mistake."
As he spoke, Li Qing gazed at He Qianqian's hand, just looking at that single hand, he felt himself stiffen.
Lin Tian really wanted to kick him. A company's chairman was not only voicing such words but was ogling his wife's hand. How could anyone be as shameless as him?
Lin Tian was simply speechless.
"Please sit," gestured Li Qing to Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Tian sat next to Li Qing, followed by He Qianqian, and Fang Shaoxiong sat last.
Fang Shaoxiong opened the conversation, "Lin Tian is my elder brother, and he would like to make a large purchase of Lingzhi from you, hoping to establish a long-term partnership."
"It is truly an honor for Mr. Lin to cooperate with me!" Li Qing modestly remarked.
"Stop," interrupted Lin Tian. Li Qing immediately shut up, clueless as to what Lin Tian was going to say.
Lin Tian continued, "Chairman Li, I think you misunderstand. I don't want to cooperate with you; I want to cooperate with your company."
Lin Tian's words made Li Qing's face turn beet red, while Fang Shaoxiong almost laughed out loud. That was quite a slap in the face!
Embarrassed, Li Qing quickly changed the subject, "Xiao Wang, quickly serve Mr. Lin, Mr. Fang, and Miss Qianqian with tea. They are our company's most honored guests. Serve them the best tea—bring out the Tieguanyin I've been saving for a year."
Soon, a female secretary with a very voluptuous figure and pretty features, wearing big curls and high heels, clacked her way over.
But as the secretary approached Lin Tian step by step, a heavy perfume scent assaulted Lin Tian's nose. The perfume was so overwhelming that it almost made him vomit.
Looking at Li Qing, however, he seemed to really appreciate the scent, taking a sneaky sniff.
Lin Tian silently lamented his poor taste.
"Hello, please enjoy your tea!" the female secretary said gently as she brought the tea to Lin Tian and the others. As she approached Li Qing, she even winked at him, nearly melting him to the bone.
Li Qing definitely had an inappropriate relationship with this female secretary, Lin Tian guessed in his mind.
"Please drink your tea," Li Qing said as he watched the secretary leave, addressing Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Tian took a small sip and then spat it all out.
"What kind of tea is this? It's so bitter. Has it been sitting for a year, or is it expired?"
Expired, how could that be? Could it be that the secret technique was botched? Li Qing hastily took a sip to verify. Right, it tasted the same, quite delicious actually!

Tentatively, Li Qing asked, "Young Master Lin, the tea tastes quite good to me, do you find it disagreeable?"
"Too bitter," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, looking for an excuse.
"Bitter?" Li Qing was full of question marks, isn't tea supposed to be bitter?
He asked, "Young Master Lin, if you find this tea bitter, what kind of tea do you usually drink?"
"The ones I drink are all imported from Europe, Frank Ribery Tea, and they are quite sweet," Lin Tian said.
Li Qing was baffled. Isn't tea unique to Huaxia? Huaxia is the birthplace of tea. Does Europe even have tea?
Moreover, he had never heard of a sweet tea called Frank Ribery in the world of tea!
Confused but not daring to ask, he continued, "Young Master Lin, what else do you like to drink?"
"Red wine. Bring me a glass of French red wine, at least twenty years old," Lin Tian demanded unceremoniously.
Li Qing's face twitched, thinking to himself, at least twenty years old — you sure have the gall to request it! I haven't even dared to drink it myself.
Indeed, he treasured a bottle of French red wine aged twenty-three years, worth more than three hundred thousand yuan, but he hadn't had the heart to open it.
Seeing that Lin Tian was someone who liked to pick faults, he reluctantly brought out that twenty-three-year-old bottle of red wine.
"Someone, bring the wine."
Soon after, the female secretary walked in again, her heels clacking noisily.
"Hello, please enjoy," the secretary said.
Lin Tian took a small sip, and to be honest, the wine tasted quite good.
But he was here to make trouble for Li Qing; even if the wine was good, he couldn't admit it.
"What the hell is this wine?" Lin Tian shouted angrily as he slammed the wine glass onto the floor, and in doing so, also shattered the entire bottle the secretary held in her hand.
The secretary let out a scream, and Li Qing, staring at the spilled wine on the floor, was utterly heartbroken. He hadn't even had the chance to take a sip before Lin Tian destroyed it.
He was filled with rage and wanted to confront Lin Tian, but Lin Tian's anger was greater, promptly quenching his arrogance.
"Li Qing, Chairman Li, what's the meaning of this? Do you look down on us? We're here to discuss a partnership, not to demand money from you. What kind of attitude is this, serving us lousy tea and lousy wine? You dare to claim this is a treasured wine you've stored for over twenty years? Who are you trying to fool!" Lin Tian roared, his face displaying extreme anger as if Li Qing had committed an unforgivable act.
Li Qing wilted completely, originally wanting to question Lin Tian about destroying his fine wine, but he had already been overpowered in terms of presence and couldn't utter a word, not even daring to take a deep breath.
Li Qing was subdued, but the secretary next to him exploded in anger. She yelled, "Young Master Lin, you're going too far! Chairman Li treated you with good tea and good wine, and this is your attitude? Spitting out tea, smashing wine bottles — you came here today with bad intentions, just looking to pick a fight!"
"Slap!"
Without a hint of mercy or restraint, Lin Tian slapped the secretary across the face.
The slap shocked everyone. He Qianqian was terrified just thinking about it, and Fang Shaoxiong's perception of Lin Tian as a good man was completely overturned. He thought, this guy is too ruthless, he even hits women!
As for Li Qing, he felt even more distressed. His petite secretary was also his lover. If her face were to be ruined, he'd have to find a new secretary.
Lin Tian pointed at the secretary and yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are? Is this your place to speak? Who do you think you are! Chairman Li, how do you discipline your subordinates? Is a secretary even qualified to speak to us?"
Lin Tian's behavior was excessive, and even He Qianqian started to feel she no longer knew him. Fang Shaoxiong suddenly had the impression that he might have misjudged his boss.
"Yes, yes, my fault, I didn't discipline my staff properly. Wang, quickly apologize to Young Master Lin, and then leave," Li Qing said apologetically with a forced smile.
Not daring to do anything to Lin Tian, the secretary ran crying to Li Qing and fiercely slapped him across the face.
At that slap, He Qianqian and Fang Shaoxiong were completely dumbfounded. What on earth was happening? A mere secretary, without a word, slapped the company chairman? Li Qing's role as chairman was truly humiliating if even a secretary dared to hit him.
