Chapter 8: Officially on the Job

  The night-colored East Sea, neon flashing, presents the prosperity of the night.

  The high-rise buildings of Shengqing Group stand tall and proud, while in the lofty CEO's office, "Italian Capriccio" wanders in darkness.

  A refined and elegant man in white attire with a handsome and resolute face, had a red bow tie around his neck, looking as elegant as a prince. He stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass cup in his arms, gently swaying to the rhythm of the music, savoring the red wine in the cup, admiring the city's desires under the night sky.

  In this atmosphere, he seemed to be standing alone at the bow of the ship, ready to ride the wind and waves under the melody in the darkness.

  The office door opened a crack and slowly closed again, the man in the suit who had previously tried to kidnap Qiao An Tian slipped in quietly, walked silently behind him and respectfully called out: "Young Master!"

  "More than sixty of you, against just over ten of them. They only had two bodyguards injured, while more than forty of you died, and five were caught by the police. This is the good news I've been waiting for?" The man in white looked out the window with an expressionless face.

  The slightly stooping man in the suit suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to argue back, and only hung his head to admit his mistake: "Subordinate handled things improperly, subordinate deserves to die!"

  "You should be dead, but who will wipe your butt after you die? Do I have to do it for you?" The man in white sneered.

  The man in the suit, however, was relieved and put his heart back in his stomach, knowing he had escaped a disaster. He immediately promised, "Young master, give me another chance and I'll definitely bring Qiao An Tian to you."

  "Idiot!" The man in white turned around abruptly, his calm and gentle eyes suddenly turning cold, staring at him sternly and saying: "This is no small matter, the police won't let go easily. Those five people can't hold on for long, once they confess that it was my son who told them to kidnap Qiao An Tian..."

  "No, no, no!" The man in the suit waved his hand repeatedly: "Everyone on the road only knows the young master's name, but no one knows that the young master is you. Even if they were to invite him, it would be useless."

  "Do you think the police are idiots? They know it all, they just don't have evidence. The man in white paused and said: "So... let's put aside what happened to Qiao An Tian for now, the most important thing is what you should be clear about."

  "Yes! I'll make them shut up." The man in the suit said respectfully.

  The man in white finally revealed a warm smile and handed him the red wine, saying: "Drink it!"

  "Thanks for letting me off, Mr. Xie." The man in the suit accepted with a surprised expression, took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

  Who would have thought that at this moment, a white palm as fast as lightning, 'cracked' slapped on the bottom of the glass cup, directly slapping the broken glass cup into the mouth of the man in the suit. The man in the suit was in so much pain that he let out a loud hum, looked at his opponent with a terrified face, covered his bloody mouth, but did not dare to take out the glass fragments from his mouth.

  "There are rewards for achievements and punishments for mistakes, you should be clear about the rules." The man in white took out a handkerchief, elegantly wiped his hands, and then slapped it on the other person's body, saying in a low voice: "If you mess things up again, you know what the consequences will be, get out!"

  The man in the suit immediately grabbed a handkerchief from his body and covered his mouth, as if afraid that fresh blood would stain the carpet, and retreated in trepidation...

  Lin Zi had wasted a lot of time and finally returned to the city, slowly wandering on the streets lit up by neon lights, rubbing his growling stomach, thinking about how he hadn't eaten any mountain delicacies or seafood, but instead got into trouble, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly.

  I casually found a roadside stall and hastily finished a meal, then took a taxi back to the hotel to wash up.

  The next day, he arrived at the Ming Hua Group early in the morning, officially starting work. Along with a group of neatly dressed and fashionably dressed white-collar workers, he walked into this large company.

  As he walked into the company's lobby, he immediately caught sight of the two beautiful receptionists who represented the company's image, and his mood suddenly improved.

  Remembering that they are now colleagues, he immediately pulled out his employee ID from his pocket and hung it around his neck, walking over with an air of confidence and a gleam in his eye, looking up and down at the two of them with his hands behind his back, not missing a single detail.

  The two beauties who had a past with him were looked at by him in a way that made their hair stand on end. Their first thought was not to associate him with being a pervert, but rather to wonder if he was looking for trouble. The two of them called out in some alarm: "Deputy Director Lin!"

  As soon as this was said, the male and female employees who passed by the lobby all heard the sound and looked over, and after squeezing into the elevator, they still stole glances here, vaguely hearing which gossip woman say: "Look quickly, that is the newly promoted deputy director of the Security Department by the chairman, it is said to be Assistant Ning's boyfriend, yesterday he entered the company hand in hand with Assistant Ning..."

  Lin Zi's ears moved slightly, and after hearing these rumors, she didn't react much. Instead, she greeted the two tense customer service girls with a "Good morning!"

  He said, with a happy and shameless face, squeezed into the service desk, as if to inspect the work, looking around. The security guards in the distance of the hall looked at each other with disdain, thinking that it was not within their scope of protection unless it was a special situation.

  Security guards working in the lobby, most of them also covet the beauty of customer service girls, but company rules are here, they don't have the guts to openly flirt with girls, unless they want to lose their rice bowl, formal security personnel in large companies, salaries are not low.

  Seeing someone using their power for personal gain and doing it so openly and unapologetically, it's not just ordinary jealousy.

  Seeing him searching around in front of the customer service desk, a younger sister said softly: "Deputy Director Lin, we didn't bring any prohibited items with us."

  "Haha!" Lin Zixian flipped through the documents with one hand, turned his head and glanced back, saying casually: "I just want to understand why this company is so stingy, such a large customer service front desk only has two chairs, it's simply too unreasonable."

  Two beautiful customer service girls looked at each other in silence. This is not a reception room, and there are only two people on duty at the customer service desk. Why not put out a few more chairs?

  "Hey you, come here for a moment." Lin Zixian pointed at one of the security guards with the documents in his hand.

  The security guard was stunned, although he despised his behavior, but the other person is now his superior, so he had to force himself to run over and flatteringly say: "Vice Minister Lin, what are your orders?"

  "What's your name?" Lin Zixian asked solemnly.

  The other party immediately replied: "Qian Ligang."

  "Hmm! Not bad, looks like you're in good spirits. I've seen your photo on the Security Department's staff page, and it seems like you have the potential to be a team leader." Lin Zixian casually complimented him, and Qian Ligang was taken aback at first, but then his face lit up with excitement as he nodded and bowed. However, before he could react further, Lin Zixian continued, "Qian Ligang, this customer service front desk only has two chairs, which is really not enough. Go, bring another chair from my office."

  "Ah......" Qian Ligang and his two sisters were stunned together.

  The two sisters were filled with incredulity, initially thinking he was joking, but it turned out he was serious.

  Qian Ligang was about to speak, but then stopped himself, thinking that this wasn't quite right. But when he thought of the position of the head of the security squad, he immediately decided to obey orders and turned around and ran off without another word.

  Not long after, Qian Ligang indeed carried a chair from his office, Lin Zilei took it and put it against the wall, propped up his legs and sat down. He was sitting right behind two customer service girls, able to appreciate their buttocks and beautiful legs at any time, as well as those delicate curves.

  A man suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind them, making the two customer service girls feel uneasy all over, and Qian Ligang was stunned again.

  Lin Zilei suddenly coughed and said, "Qian Ligang, you're not bad. I'll seriously recommend you to Director Lin as the head of the security team. You can go now!"

  Qian Ligang immediately burst out laughing, and then he leaned in with a sly look on his face and whispered: "Deputy Director Lin, sitting here like this is too conspicuous." As he spoke, he also subtly tugged at his own uniform, hinting that he should change into something better.

  Lin Zixian was immediately shocked and looked at him with a gaze that seemed to see through heaven and earth. His first thought was that this guy was a talent, doing things very solidly and meticulously, indeed worthy of good cultivation.

  Just then, Director Duan Jiye also arrived upon hearing the news. He looked around and his gaze searched for Lin Zixian before immediately walking over with a smile. However, when he saw him sitting at the customer service desk, he couldn't help but cry and laugh: "Director Lin, this is too humiliating for you. The Security Department has your office, what are you doing sitting here?"

  He knew that Lin Zixian was so powerful that even the chairman didn't dare to mess with him, and the chairman still had to flatter him. So he deliberately downplayed the "deputy" in Deputy Minister Lin's title and directly addressed him as Minister Lin.

  "Hey! We can't be so bureaucratic! The Security Department's responsibility is to protect the company and its employees' safety, how can we do that by just sitting in the office?" Lin Zixian pointed to the empty hall: "I think this place is great! We can keep an eye on all directions and respond immediately if anything unusual happens. With Director Lin taking care of overall planning in the office, I'll take the lead here as Deputy Director!"

  "Huh……" Duan Jiye was stunned, momentarily unable to react to what was happening. His puzzled gaze met the two beautiful customer service girls, and he suddenly came to his senses, uttering a couple of "ohs". Everyone was a man, so he understood quickly. He acknowledged that he had no ability to stop this guy's craziness, so he could only acquiesce.

  He had nothing more to say, Lin Zixian threw the materials in his hand back and stood up with a frown: "Director Duan, I have something to react to you."

  His opinion was that Duan Jiyi did not dare to underestimate him, and immediately said solemnly: "You can speak freely."

  "Never mind that I'm the deputy director of the Security Department, I'm also a member of the Security Department now! When will my uniform be issued?"

  "Hmm..." Duan Jiye thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this. He immediately turned around and said in a low voice to Qian Ligang beside him: "Xiao Qian, go run an errand to the company's labor insurance department and get Director Lin's uniform."

  "Alright, I'll go now." Qian Ligang turned around and walked away with big strides, but then heard Lin Deputy Minister's voice again: "Director Duan, I think this little Qian is quite capable, he can fully take on the role of captain of the security department! I think you should consider it carefully."

  Qian Ligang's feet suddenly got tangled, and he almost fell to the ground. This Deputy Director Lin was really something else. He immediately took off like a shot, sprinting towards the company's labor insurance department. He couldn't afford to delay Deputy Director Lin's good deed.
