Volume 1: Dragon in the River and Lake Chapter 3: The Thousand Gold Miss
Being a security guard is a hard job with low pay and social status. Wearing the uniform and standing at the entrance, one can always feel the crowd entering and leaving the company looking down on them with disdainful eyes.
Ye Shaofeng was used to wearing military uniforms, but now he had changed into this security guard uniform. With the disdainful glances from others, this hot-blooded and passionate man felt somewhat out of place.
He was once an excellent special soldier who dedicated himself to the country, but now he has become a social bottom dweller in people's eyes, which has severely damaged the dignity that a soldier should have.
It's been two weeks since I joined the Zhonghai Group as a security guard. Every morning, I stand at attention in front of the building, dressed in uniform. The past two weeks have been peaceful and uneventful, with no major incidents occurring, and my own tasks haven't made any progress either.
He thought that by becoming a security guard in the building, he would be able to easily get close to Chang Miao Ke, but after standing watch for two weeks, he hadn't even seen her shadow. This made him feel somewhat disappointed and frustrated, and if things continued like this, he would have no choice but to consider other plans.
It was another boring day, Ye Shaofeng had a late night drinking and chatting with the security guards yesterday, so when he was standing guard at the door, his head was still dizzy, his eyelids drooping, looking completely sleepy.
It's been two weeks since he became a security guard, and the days are passing very boringly. The cheap liquor and poor-quality cigarettes every night have become his only pastime, and then there's chatting and gossiping with Peng Xiaofei and the other security guards in the dormitory.
Just as Ye Shao Feng was listlessly watching the crowd of people flowing in through the entrance, a black Range Rover suddenly drove into the company's courtyard with a loud screech, kicking up clouds of dust.
The Land Rover did not stop in the parking lot behind the building, but instead stopped at the entrance of the building. The car door opened and a man wearing a suit and tie with golden-rimmed glasses got out of the car with ease under the gaze of everyone present.
Many complex gazes were intertwined on this man, both admiring and jealous, with hatred. Ye Shaofeng looked at this person coldly. He knew that this person was called Ma Teng.
Ma Teng is the department manager of the sales department of Zonghai Group. He achieved the best sales performance in history this quarter, so the company's chairman rewarded him with a Range Rover worth over 1.5 million yuan.
The car I bought yesterday, today I drove it to the company, showing off properly, completely with a nouveau riche look.
Ma Teng beckoned to Ye Shao-feng and commanded: "You, security guard! Come here! Come quickly!"
Ye Shaofeng walked over, his waist straight as a pen, standing in front of Ma Teng, a whole head taller than him.
Ma Teng looked up at Ye Shaofeng and said: "Go, fetch a basin of water and wipe down the car for me."
At that time, Ye Shaofeng was stunned, what does this mean? Is he asking him to wipe the car? Is this person sick in the head? Can't you go to a car wash shop? You have to be at the entrance of the company building and ask the security guard to wash the car. This is too pretentious!
"Damn it, yesterday's rain made the road all bumpy and muddy today. There are a lot of mud spots on the wheel hubs. Hurry up and find a basin of water to wipe them clean for me first. Quick! What are you standing there for? Can't understand what I'm saying?"
I've heard of car washing and car polishing, but never just polishing the hubcaps. Whose hubcaps are clean anyway? And to have Ye Shaofeng polish his hubcaps, this is completely disregarding the security guard's dignity.
"I'm a security guard, not a car washer. If you want to wash your car, go to the car wash yourself, it's none of my business!" Ye Shaofeng said, turning around and walking away.
It's just rush hour now, and there are many people. Ye Shaofeng didn't give a bit of face, which infuriated Ma Teng, who had a very strong sense of vanity.
Ma Teng suddenly grabbed Ye Shaofeng's shoulder from behind and scolded: "Bastard, a broken security guard still dares to show off in front of me. Today you must wash the car hubcaps clean for me, otherwise..."
Ma Teng's words were cut off halfway, Ye Shao Feng's vigilance was very strong, and he instinctively kicked out with a whirlwind kick, sending the little guy flying three or four meters away. Ma Teng's entire body flew out, crashing into his own Range Rover, causing the heavy vehicle to shake violently from the impact.
Ma Teng suddenly squatted on the ground, covering his chest with his hands, feeling a mouthful of air stuck in his chest, unable to breathe out or in. Ye Shaofeng lazily glanced at him and walked back to the sentry post by himself.
At this time, a silver Audi A8 luxury sedan drove past the guard post. Chang Fuguo, sitting in the back seat, saw what had just happened and asked his secretary and bodyguard: "How come I didn't notice that security guard earlier?"
"A Qiang said: "Chairman, that security guard has only been with our company for two weeks. He used to be a soldier and after retiring, he went to the south to make a living."
"A Qiang, you're a martial arts expert. You also saw the security guard's kick just now, what do you think of his kung fu?" Chang Fuguo asked again.
"Chairman, judging from the kick he just made, it's not hard to infer that this security guard is absolutely a top-notch expert. The speed of his move and the magnitude of his force are beyond what ordinary martial artists can achieve."
Moreover, I'm sure he just used 50% of his strength. If he had used 100%, our sales department head Ma Teng would probably be dead by now." Ah Qiang analyzed.
Chang Fu Guo's face lit up with joy, saying: "Ah Qiang, go to the personnel department later and get a copy of this security guard's information. The more detailed the better! I'm in need of such an expert right now!"
At noon, Ye Shaofeng and Peng Xiaofei went to the staff canteen for lunch together.
The staff canteen is divided into three layers. The first layer has the largest area and the most people, it's where the lowest-level employees in the company eat; the second layer is where the management level eats, the food must be much better than the first layer. The third layer has the smallest area, only a few small independent rooms. Ordinary people can't go up there, this is a luxurious private room prepared for the company leaders, the standard of the meals inside is absolutely that of a five-star hotel.
Ye Shaofeng held a rectangular iron lunchbox, closely following behind Peng Xiaofei. Although Peng Xiaofei was not as strong as Ye Shaofeng, he had a sturdy build and an overbearing attitude that gave him an advantage when getting food at the cafeteria window. Following him allowed Ye Shaofeng to secure a favorable position in the crowded room.
A bowl of braised tofu, rich in oil and water, and at a low price. Although it's a vegetarian dish, it tastes like red-braised pork when eaten with rice, which is Ye Shaofeng's favorite flavor.
Ye Shaofeng and Peng Xiaofei sat face to face, their stomachs were indeed a little hungry, just about to start eating. Before they could even pick up their chopsticks, trouble came knocking...
