Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 544 - 516 Dog Eat Dog
The driver yelled, "I've had enough of you, I don't want to serve you anymore. You don't even have a car now, and I'm about to be out of a job. These four slaps are for you."
"You don't need to threaten me. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you. Today, I'm going back to my hometown. See how you find me then."
After finishing his words, the driver kicked Xue Qiang viciously and stormed off.
This time, Xue Qiang had completely lost face. He was worse off than Li Qing. Right now, Lin Tian really wanted to set up a camera and interview him with a microphone. He had been slapped four times by his driver. What a feeling that must be.
Xue Qiang struggled to his feet and yelled at the remaining bodyguards, "Tell me, why didn't you smash the car?"
A bodyguard explained on behalf of the others, "Mr. Xue, you really misunderstood Xiao Zhang (the driver who just left). It's not that we didn't want to smash the car, we really had your best interests in mind!"
Xue Qiang was furious. The driver Xiao Zhang had hit him, and they dared to take his side.
He roared, "You bunch of waste, what use is there in keeping you around? Incompetent in your duties and still using my well-being as an excuse. Waste, all of you."
The bodyguard, drenched in a verbal bloodbath, couldn't bear listening anymore and stepped forward to explain, "There was one car, a fiery red Ferrari, the one you saw last month at the dealership, worth eighty million. I was afraid if we smashed that car, you wouldn't be able to afford it."
Every word from the bodyguard hit Xue Qiang like a hard slap to his face.
Xue Qiang had been showing off, trying to flaunt his wealth against Lin Tian. And now here was a bodyguard, basically saying he couldn't afford it—wasn't that proving he wasn't as wealthy as Lin Tian?
Yet, in just a few short sentences, Xue Qiang was shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Tian to be driving an eighty million Ferrari. If he had known that Lin Tian drove such a car, he wouldn't have dared to show off against Lin Tian!
Thankfully, the bodyguards hadn't smashed it, otherwise, an eighty million Ferrari, Xue Qiang really couldn't afford to pay.
Saved eighty million, but thoroughly lost face. Now, it's hard to tell whether Xue Qiang was happy or sorrowful!
Xue Qiang felt awkward but managed to ask sternly, "Doesn't he have several cars? Why didn't you smash the others, yet you come back empty-handed!"
The bodyguard helplessly said, "The other cars are Fang Shaoxiong's Death War Chariots. You should have heard of that name. We wanted to smash them, but we couldn't."
"Pfft!"
Lin Tian spurted out a mouthful of tea. Listening to the bodyguard, it felt like he was there for comic relief. They couldn't afford to smash the cars that could be smashed and couldn't smash the cars that could be afforded.
How awkward.
The bodyguards looked wronged; Xue Qiang had nothing to say anymore. He was almost regretting his guts out. Why had he chosen to oppose Lin Tian? He was very puzzled about Lin Tian's identity. Logically speaking, someone who drove an eighty million Ferrari should also be a top-tier person. Why hadn't Xue Qiang ever heard of Lin Tian?
Now, Xue Qiang stared at Lin Tian, eagerly wanting to know Lin Tian's identity.
Lin Tian had humiliated Li Qing and Xue Qiang. His goal had been achieved, and he felt doubly satisfied. He stood up and revealed his identity to them.
"My name is Lin Tian, from Wu'an City, the founder of Tianyi Pharma!" he announced proudly.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Li Qing and Xue Qiang exclaimed simultaneously. Li Qing only knew Lin Tian's name, but he didn't know that Lin Tian was the Lin Tian from Wu'an City, the founder of Tianyi Pharma.
As for Xue Qiang, he only knew Lin Tian's surname. He was even worse off than Li Qing; he didn't even know Lin Tian's full name.
Lin Tian's reputation was well-known, as was the fame of Tianyi Pharma, almost known worldwide. They had just never seen Lin Tian in person and didn't know why he would come to Yunhai City.
Li Qing was stunned, and so was Xue Qiang, especially Xue Qiang. He had dared to compare his wealth with Lin Tian, and now he felt ashamed just thinking about it. Lin Tian's net worth was at least hundreds of billions. Comparing himself to Lin Tian was like comparing a wild chicken to a phoenix.
Lin Tian stepped closer to Xue Qiang and said, "So, you are the one who wanted to hoard a thousand Lingzhi mushrooms and sell them at a high price to our Tianyi Pharma?"
"No, no, no." Xue Qiang shook his head quickly and slapped himself twice. It was one thing to say such things behind someone's back, but now that Lin Tian knew, he wouldn't dare. He was really afraid Lin Tian would kill him out of anger. No profit was worth his life.
"Good," Lin Tian nodded. "Since you've changed your mind, that's for the best. Otherwise, you would have died a miserable death."

"Thank you, Boss Lin, for sparing my life." Xue Qiang knelt on the ground, terrified, and kowtowed to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian said, "Your earlier actions infuriated me. From this day forward, I don't want to see you again. Every time I see you, I'll break your legs right away."
"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right now." Upon hearing this, Xue Qiang felt as if he had been granted a huge reprieve and immediately ran towards the exit.
"Stop." Lin Tian called out to Xue Qiang coldly.
Xue Qiang shivered all over, now, he even had the thought of dying.
"Boss Lin, what… what do you want?"
Lin Tian said, "I just remembered, I also smashed one of your Rolls Royces, and that car was pretty expensive, wasn't it? Should I compensate for it?"
"No need, no need, if you like smashing cars, I'll bring all my cars over for you to smash to your heart's content!"
Kidding, surviving was already lucky enough, he wouldn't dare ask Lin Tian to compensate him for the car.
"You're sensible, now scram!" Lin Tian laughed.
Xue Qiang didn't even dare to look back, and immediately ran out.
Lin Tian then walked up to Li Qing and said, "I know all the little tricks you and Xue Qiang were playing. Now, do you still want to help Xue Qiang against our Tianyi Pharma?"
"No, no, no." Li Qing quickly shook his head, "It's my fault, I won't dare anymore. Rest assured, I won't sell a single kilogram of Lingzhi to Xue Qiang. I'll even give you a discount, seventy thousand per kilogram, how's that?"
"Hmm, good. Also, I smashed your antiques; do you need me to compensate for that?" Lin Tian asked, employing his tactics again.
"No need, if you like smashing, you can even smash up my office," Li Qing said lowly, his heart bleeding though, as the money she lost could cover five to six years of her hard work.
As Lin Tian walked outside, he said, "I'm not a patient person. Within three days, I want to see the contract and the Lingzhi. If I don't see them within three days, you will have no further need to live in this world."
"Sure, sure, absolutely," Li Qing hurriedly agreed.
Afterward, Lin Tian left the place with He Qianqian and Fang Shaoxiong. Once Lin Tian had left, Li Qing sat down on the ground, took a deep breath, sweating profusely as though he had just been through an intensive ordeal.
After a while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly stood up, and upon seeing the shattered inkstone and torn paintings, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and his heart thumped wildly. He quickly took a blood pressure pill and a heart-saving pill to calm down a bit.
An hour ago, he was still the respected director of the company in people's hearts, possessing power, making money, accepting bribes, and sleeping with mistresses; his life couldn't have been better.
But just an hour later, his mistress had run off, the scandal had blown up, and he might even lose his position as chairman. Most importantly, the antiques and paintings in his office, worth over two million yuan, were smashed to pieces.
All this was caused by Lin Tian. Remembering Lin Tian, Li Qing clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill him.
But Lin Tian had a net worth of hundreds of billions, and Tianyi Pharma had expanded worldwide. Comparing himself to Lin Tian was out of the question. No matter how angry he was, he had to endure it because this was a world of the survival of the fittest.
"Bang!"
A dull thud sounded as the office door was suddenly kicked open.
Li Qing thought it was Lin Tian and quickly turned around, only to relax when he saw it was Xue Qiang.
Li Qing said weakly, "What are you doing back here?"
"What am I doing back here? I came back to beat you." Xue Qiang, furious, ran up to Li Qing and slapped him hard.
"Slap!"
A harsh slap landed on Li Qing's face, and Li Qing spun 360° before he stopped.
Poor guy, he lost three teeth, and his face swelled up like a pig's head.
"Xue Qiang, what the hell are you hitting me for!" Li Qing shouted.
"Why am I hitting you? You knew he was Lin Tian, why didn't you tell me? He drives an eighty million Ferrari, why didn't you tell me? When we were comparing who had more money, why didn't you hint at me?"
Li Qing, like a mad dog, lashed out, taking out his anger over Lin Tian on Li Qing.
Li Qing shouted, "How did I not remind you? I hinted, did you listen? You can't take on Lin Tian, don't take it out on me, I'm not your punching bag."
Furious, Xue Qiang sat on the sofa and yelled, "Fine, you're also a victim in this. I won't hold it against you. But my car cost twelve million, and it took a lot of determination to buy it. Now my car is smashed into a pile of scrap metal, you must compensate me."
Xue Qiang was really quite something. Lin Tian smashed his car, and he didn't dare ask Lin Tian for compensation. Instead, he bullied Li Qing, asking him for compensation. Compared to each other, Xue Qiang seemed even more shameless.
Li Qing furiously said, "Xue Qiang, can't you have some shame? Lin Tian smashed your car, go ask Lin Tian for money. If you're going to say that, my paired paintings and a Tang dynasty antique have been smashed by you, their total value nearly one million nine hundred thousand. Compensate me!"
"Li Qing, you're shameless. Your little money is nothing. My car is wrecked, and you have the nerve to ask me for money?"
"How shameless are you, if you dare, go ask Lin Tian, don't bother me, …."
"Compensate me for my car."
"Pay me!"
…, ….
"Enough, stop arguing."
As the two were arguing heatedly, a voice suddenly rang out.
