Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Astonished by the Leggy Beauty, Su Lin is Stunned.

As soon as Lin Xiaowan hung up the phone, she rushed to Su Lin, patting his shoulder, “Hurry, hurry, let’s go to the bus station.”

“Your friend is already at the bus station?” Su Lin asked.

Lin Xiaowan, on the verge of tears, replied, “She’s been waiting for over half an hour. She called several times, but the line was always busy.”

“Why didn’t you tell her to take a taxi?” Su Lin asked with a smile.

“Take a taxi? Yanyan must be furious by now, no time for that. Come on, Su Lin, let’s hurry over there.”

Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Su Lin nodded and quickly got into the car with Lin Xiaowan.

“Aiyo, how could I forget about Yanyan? She’s definitely going to scold me to death,” Lin Xiaowan lamented.

Su Lin, somewhat helplessly, said, “I reminded you several times earlier, but you told me not to interrupt and even kicked me.”

“You saw how it was, I was constantly on calls, completely swamped. The people of Zhongjiang are just too crazy,” Lin Xiaowan said, still shaken by the experience.

When they left, the supermarket was still crowded with people queuing to check out, a line that might last even past lunchtime.

“Especially those elderly customers, they were shopping so crazily. Su Lin, did you hear? Some of them came at five in the morning, before dawn, just for those few cents of discount. It’s madness.”

“Hahaha, Xiaowan, you don’t understand. For them, getting to the market early is a pleasure. Saving a few cents makes them happy for days.”

“Sometimes we don’t understand because we’re not their age yet. These elderly people have been busy all their lives, and now they feel restless with too much free time, so they rush to the markets early.”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin in surprise, “Su Lin, you even guessed their psychology! No wonder you had those people distribute flyers earlier.”

“Hehe, I’m not a psychologist. Just reading up on the internet is enough. Supermarkets in the capital and other big cities have early markets to attract the elderly,” Su Lin said with a smile.

Lin Xiaowan wanted to continue the conversation but her phone rang again.

Watching her busy, Su Lin felt a bit sorry for her. After she hung up, he asked, “Didn’t Yangzi arrange an assistant for you?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, “He did.”

“If you have an assistant, let them handle some of the less important clients. You can’t personally manage everything in a supermarket; you’ll be run ragged.”

“Hehe, I find it quite interesting, especially dealing with these small merchants.”

“Even so, you shouldn’t be too busy. Listen to me, delegate some less important clients to your assistant, and give some to Yangzi too. That way, you’ll be more relaxed. As a leader, you need to learn how to use people.”

Lin Xiaowan, seeing Su Lin’s seriousness, nodded in agreement. “I understand.”

Previously, Lin Xiaowan handled these merchants herself because Su Lin said these clients were valuable resources. She was worried about entrusting them to her subordinates, fearing they might leave.

“How many suppliers are willing to sign exclusive agreements with us?” Su Lin asked.

“Not many, only a few, and they’re not very popular items.”

“Tell them we plan to open supermarkets in all seven districts and try to sign exclusives. With today’s sales figures, many merchants will be willing to sign. Then things will be a bit easier.”

“Okay!”

As they talked, they arrived at Zhongjiang bus station.

At the entrance, Lin Xiaowan spotted Zhao Yanyan waiting. Her face slightly flushed, she said to Su Lin, “That’s Zhao Yanyan over there. Park the car on the side.”

Su Lin followed Lin Xiaowan’s gaze.

Wow! Such long legs!

That was Su Lin’s first thought upon seeing Zhao Yanyan. She was quite tall, standing at around 1.75 meters, and even in sports shoes, which added less height than heels, she appeared to be around 1.78 meters tall.

Her legs, highlighted by a pair of slim black trousers, were strikingly attractive, especially with about ten centimeters of ankle showing at the trousers’ end.

Su Lin marveled at her legs; they were extraordinary. Lin Xiaowan, at 1.68 meters, was already considered perfect in height, with a typical short-waist-long-leg body type. But next to Zhao Yanyan, even her legs seemed somewhat less impressive.

“How about that, aren’t her legs long? You always said you were a leg man, Yanyan’s legs are impressive, right?”

Su Lin gave a thumbs-up, “Indeed impressive. Such long legs are wasted if not used for pedaling a tricycle.”

Lin Xiaowan, unable to contain her laughter, exclaimed, “Su Lin, I’m about to get out of the car. Can you please stop making me laugh? Yanyan is going to be even more upset when she sees us like this, hahaha…”

Su Lin, glancing over at Zhao Yanyan again, observed her tall figure. She had the common trait of tall girls – a smaller chest – but it wasn’t particularly small.

It just seemed average compared to her perfectly long legs. Her facial features were exquisite and, despite her tense expression showing she was in a bad mood, her beauty couldn’t be concealed.

After regaining her composure, Lin Xiaowan gave Su Lin a glare, “Behave when you speak later. Yanyan can be quite playful, but that’s with people she’s familiar with. She’s quite aloof with strangers.”

Su Lin gestured understandingly, recalling how Lin Xiaowan herself was quite aloof when they first met. But now, they could chat and say whatever they wanted.

As they got out of the car, Lin Xiaowan, feeling guilty, quickly approached Zhao Yanyan, “Yanyan, you’re here~!!”

Zhao Yanyan, with a cold expression, retorted, “Go away… Lin Xiaowan, don’t think acting cute can change the fact that you left me waiting at the bus station for an hour… Dream on if you think a hug will make me not angry, that’s impossible.”

Lin Xiaowan, trying to appease her, said with a giggle, “Yanyan, it wasn’t intentional, I was really too busy, bombarded with calls all morning.”

“You just opened a supermarket, how busy can you be?”

Just then, Lin Xiaowan’s phone rang again. “Sorry, Yanyan, I need to take this call. Oh, this is Su Lin, my friend~!! Su Lin, this is Zhao Yanyan, the one I told you about. You guys talk first.”

Leaving Su Lin and Zhao Yanyan to face each other, Lin Xiaowan walked away to answer her phone.

Zhao Yanyan scrutinized Su Lin, noting his high attractiveness and handsome features, particularly his smile that could outshine many celebrities. His physique was excellent.

With her years of dance experience, she could tell that Su Lin had one of the best body proportions among Asian men.

Zhao Yanyan thought to herself, “No wonder Xiaowan is smitten by Su Lin. With his looks, which girl wouldn’t be charmed? But Lin Xiaowan isn’t shallow; there must be more to Su Lin that attracts her. She’ll have to discover that herself.”

Su Lin allowed Zhao Yanyan to boldly size him up, standing still as she examined him from head to toe.

When Zhao Yanyan finally felt embarrassed about staring, she spoke, “Su Lin, Xiaowan has mentioned you.”

Su Lin nodded, “Xiaowan has also spoken about you.”

“Oh? What did she say about me?” Zhao Yanyan curiously asked.

“Beautiful, with long legs!” Su Lin remarked, glancing again at Zhao Yanyan’s legs.

Zhao Yanyan burst into laughter, covering her stomach, “Haha… Xiaowan was right. If I stand in front of you, the first thing you notice are my legs. I thought she was joking, but it turns out to be true.”

Su Lin, puzzled, glanced at Lin Xiaowan.

Highly aloof? Really?

Zhao Yanyan, sensing Su Lin’s gaze, provocatively asked, “Do you find my legs that attractive?”

Su Lin nodded, “Your legs must be at least 1.1 meters long. It’s rare to find such long legs in China.”

Zhao Yanyan, half-jokingly, asked, “Aren’t you worried Xiaowan will be jealous?”

Su Lin nodded earnestly, “Afraid, but still can’t help looking.”

Zhao Yanyan laughed heartily, “Su Lin, you truly are a common man.”
