Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 709 - 681: World’s Top 500

By the time Lin Tian and He Qianqian returned to their Wu'an City apartment, it was already six in the evening. As they opened the door, they saw Bu Mengting sprawled on the table, writing something with a pen amidst a pile of various documents. Bu Mengting's eyelids were droopy, suffused with bloodshot lines, clearly exhausted from overwork.

"Qianqian sis, hubby, you're back so soon," Bu Mengting said lethargically upon seeing them.

He Qianqian quickly poured a cup of tea for Bu Mengting. "Sis, why are you so exhausted? You have to take care of your health."

"The authorities are coming tomorrow to evaluate our company for the top 500 ranking, and there are still some matters I need to handle."

"That's enough," He Qianqian intercepted, without any further discussion, snatching the pen out of Bu Mengting's hand and began tidying up the scattered documents on the table.

"No matter how important the work is, it's not more important than your own health. Rest for a while, and later, we'll help you with it."

Bu Mengting was somewhat reluctant, but she obediently listened to He Qianqian and sat down on the sofa to rest.

He Qianqian tenderly massaged Bu Mengting with her hands, and with nothing else to do, Lin Tian, also feeling sorry for his little wife, began to rub her legs as well.

With a blissful expression, Bu Mengting asked, "Qianqian sis, hubby, why did you come back so soon? What exactly was that Light Point? Did you find it?"

At this, He Qianqian smiled sweetly and then took out the dazzling pearl from her bag.

"Sis, look quickly."

He Qianqian held the pearl in front of Bu Mengting's eyes, her face beaming like a radiant flower.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

Bu Mengting's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she was seeing the world's most beautiful scenery.

"Of course, this is the most beautiful pearl I have ever seen, and it's a gift from hubby to both of us," He Qianqian said, as she handed the pearl over to Bu Mengting.

Lin Tian, listening on the side, was very satisfied.

He had just been worrying about this very issue; there was only one pearl, but two wives—how to divide it? Fortunately, the well-read and reasonable He Qianqian resolved this dilemma for him with a single comment; she was willing to share the pearl with Bu Mengting.

What a good wife!

Bu Mengting held the pearl, her mouth wide open with joy, unable to put it down!

Clutching the pearl in her hands, she seemed to possess everything, as if every beautiful thing in the world paled in comparison to this pearl!

She looked sweetly at He Qianqian and Lin Tian, feeling utterly blissful.

Then she took out a magnifying glass, and with a professional eye, she meticulously examined the pearl.

With its mysterious origins, even the Jiang Family regarded this pearl as a treasure. Lin Tian too was eager to see if Bu Mengting could deduce something about it, hoping to infer the origin of the pearl from her insights.

After a long observation, Bu Mengting concluded that the pearl was very peculiar; she had never seen anything like it before and speculated that it could be a completely new type of pearl.

Lin Tian felt a wave of disappointment; it seemed that Bu Mengting could not discern anything significant either.

Although Bu Mengting hadn't found out much, her bright eyes sparkled, sweeping away the listlessness from a moment ago.

"What's up, got some good news?" asked Lin Tian.

In response, Bu Mengting stood up with a giggling smile, deliberately lowering the neckline of her garment to reveal a glimpse of her fair skin, intentionally tempting Lin Tian.

There was no good news when Bu Mengting was so eager without good cause—it was either treachery or theft.

Lin Tian asked, "What are you up to?"

With a coquettish tone, Bu Mengting said, "Our jewelry store is up for the world's top 500 evaluation tomorrow, and right now, I'm worried about not having a signature piece to showcase. How about you lend me this pearl for a day? Tomorrow I'll display it in our jewelry store for the experts to see. With this pearl as our signature piece, I'm sure our jewelry store will make it into the top 500."

Having finished, Bu Mengting blinked her sparkling large eyes expectantly, waiting for Lin Tian to nod in agreement.

"This..."

A look of uncertainty crossed Lin Tian's face.

Since he had already given the pearl to his wives, Lin Tian really shouldn't interfere by rights.

But...

But this pearl was no ordinary pearl; it radiated an incredibly strong energy, making it a real treasure. To ordinary people, it was just a pearl of inestimable value. But should a Spiritual Warrior see this pearl and feel the powerful energy it emitted, they would surely covet it, and it might lead to a bloody and violent conflict!

He felt troubled; he wanted to help his little wife but feared that any carelessness could bring disaster upon them.

Bu Mengting watched anxiously from the side, not understanding Lin Tian's thinking. She pouted and said, "Hmph, stingy ghost."

Although He Qianqian did not understand, she knew that to retrieve the Pearl, Lin Tian had fought a great battle. She quickly pulled Bu Mengting aside, signaling her not to speak any further.

Realizing she had misunderstood Lin Tian, Bu Mengting stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, hubby, I won't borrow your Pearl anymore. Even without this Pearl, our company can still break into the world's top 500 tomorrow."

Lin Tian smiled and replied, "How about this, I can lend you the Pearl for one day, but you must agree to two conditions from me."

"You say," said Bu Mengting excitedly.

"First, no one is allowed to take photos of this Pearl. It must be kept in a hidden place, and anyone who wants to see the Pearl must surrender all electronic devices."

"This...!" Bu Mengting found it somewhat difficult; jewels are meant to be seen, keeping the Pearl so secret would negate its purpose as a jewel, wouldn't it?

After pondering for a moment, Bu Mengting still nodded her head.

Lin Tian continued, "Second, I want to personally oversee who can and can't see the Pearl."

His intention was clear: to keep Spiritual Warriors out—ordinary people couldn't sense the immense Energy contained in the Pearl and thus could view it.

Bu Mengting struggled for a while but ultimately nodded her head again.

After setting these two conditions, Bu Mengting hurriedly made arrangements for the next day, with Lin Tian personally escorting the Pearl and Wang Ying leading experts to guard it closely, ensuring not even the slightest damage would occur.

As soon as daylight broke the next day, Lin Tian placed the Pearl in a secluded room within the jewelry store. Lin Tian guarded the main door himself, while inside, Wang Ying and his people lay in ambush.

The jewelry store was unusually lively today, with a significant increase in people—staff bustled about, all looking quite tense.

Wearing a uniform, Bu Mengting paced nervously at the entrance; she was determined to make it into the top 500 this time, but the wait left her anxious.

At nine o'clock in the morning, several stretched limousines arrived; music played at the door, and firecrackers were set off as the evaluators arrived.

Bu Mengting, along with the core members of her company, went to the entrance with smiles to receive them.

From the cars, about thirty people descended, among whom eight were evaluators, including 'Imperial Officials,' seasoned entrepreneurs, and four foreigners. They were all influential figures who would determine if Mengting's jewelry store met the criteria for the top 500 in the world based on its scale, market value, staff, and potential.

The rest were drivers, bodyguards, and such—the bodyguards were all experts, with several of them possessing the strength of the condensing mirror stage.

"Hello, welcome to our store. Please come in," Bu Mengting greeted them with a smile and ushered them inside.

After entering the jewelry store, Bu Mengting handed over a stack of documents outlining the store's assets, profits, and future business plan.

After half an hour of touring and consulting, one of the eight evaluators spoke up on their behalf, "Miss Mengting, your jewelry store has a promising future, and the profits are substantial. However, since the store has only been established for a few months, there's a gap before it can enter the top 500 due to its brief history."

Once they had finished, Bu Mengting couldn't hide her disappointment and felt somewhat reluctant.

A Huaxia person quickly stepped forward to console her, "Miss Mengting, your company's scale and development are at the standard of the top 500 in the world. What's lacking is merely the tenure. With the pace at which you are growing, in another year, by this time next year, your company will undoubtedly enter the top 500 without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Bu Mengting felt quite reassured, and then she smiled, "Actually, we have a treasure in our store I hope you can take a look at before you make your final decision."

The Huaxia person, impressed with Bu Mengting, replied, "A treasure cherished by the store, eh? I would quite like to see this. If it's valuable enough, it could enhance your company's influence and allow you to be an exception to enter the top 500 enterprises."

Bu Mengting smiled slightly and said, "But I have a condition. To see our treasure, only the eight of you can go in, and you must bring no electronic devices."

"This..." The Huaxia person appeared troubled.

One of the foreigners exploded on the spot, shouting, "What kind of joke is this? Jewels are meant to be seen. Now you won't allow our bodyguards in, and what kind of rule is that? Are you running a shady business here? Are you planning to harm us?"

Bu Mengting's expression turned slightly ugly, but she could not rebut, as the condition she had set was indeed unreasonable.

Lin Tian quickly stepped forward behind her to smooth things over.

"After a thousand calls, it appears covered, as a beauty who veils her face—such is the way with beauties, and likewise, with treasures."

With Lin Tian appearing, the group's eyes lit up. Tianyi Pharma, headed by Lin Tian, was also competing in this company selection, ranking third worldwide this time. Thanks to its rapid development and strong momentum, Tianyi Pharma had the potential to become the world's number one company next year.

They all recognized Lin Tian and held him in the highest esteem.

"Nice to see you, Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin!"

... ...

Lin Tian said, "Come in and take a look. Missing this opportunity, you would remember it for the rest of your lives. As for everyone's safety, there's no need to worry. I guarantee your safety with the reputation of Tianyi Pharma."
