Chapter Ten: The Extinction of Shifu

  If it's said that Lin Zile has no good feelings towards the beautiful Ning assistant, then that's nonsense. Even his own conscience can't deceive itself. A man who doesn't like a beauty must be sick.

  It seems to prove that he is a real man, not sick. As soon as he heard 'Ning Assistant', he reacted quickly enough, his head swung over quickly, the brim of his big hat was swung 90 degrees, finally revealing the face under the brim, completely disregarding his image, actually didn't notice.

  "Hey! How come Assistant Ning is here? Are you here to inspect our work as lower-level employees? Hehe, we've been holding down the fort, Assistant Ning can rest assured."

  As they spoke, his eyes involuntarily slid down and glanced at Ning Lan's short skirt. Yesterday when the incident happened, he didn't notice, but afterwards he thought about how he had lifted someone's skirt, those white slender legs, that fair buttocks, and those lace panties, regretting not taking a closer look.

  Ning Lan immediately discovered that something was off, the key being that the other person's gaze was too unbridled, and her heart actually felt a bit flustered, her thighs under her short skirt subtly tightening. However, on her face she still tried to control herself from revealing anything, making an effort not to look into Lin Zixian's eyes, her gaze calmly shifting towards the two front desk customer service girls.

  Now thinking about it, Lin Zixian's words just now seem to have a bit of a flirtatious tone, and Ning Lan couldn't help but size up the two customer service girls' appearances.

  The two customer service girls suddenly became a bit nervous. As the saying goes, men understand men best and women understand women best, which is true in this case.

  They faintly sensed some inexplicable things from Ning Lan's eyes, and suddenly thought of the scene where Ning Lan and Lin Zi Xian held hands and entered the company yesterday, coupled with rumors in the company that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

  The two customer service girls secretly thought it was terrible. If Ning's assistant misunderstood that they were flirting with her boyfriend, they would be done for.

  They are the grassroots customer service staff of the famous flower group, but they have also obtained a formal on-the-job qualification certificate after passing level by level assessment. The treatment is much better than that of ordinary companies outside. If they were to be dealt with because of this misunderstanding, it would be too unjust.

  After calming down, Ning Lan's gaze fell on Lin Zixian again. Seeing him wearing a security uniform and looking like an idiot, she really couldn't connect him to the person from yesterday, it was just too ridiculous.

  Earlier, I was a bit nervous and worried about seeing the ruthless Lin Zilei again, not knowing how to break the ice. But now, with a hint of a smile, he said: "Deputy Director Lin, it's really great to see you taking an interest in our customer service work. Are you taken by the beautiful women employees in our company?"

  The two customer service girls' faces changed slightly, and they became even more nervous in their hearts. It's over, it's over, Assistant Ning is jealous.

  Duan Jiye and Minister Duan's interpretation is different, unexpectedly, Ning's assistant started joking around, it's really strange, it can be seen that the relationship with Minister Lin is indeed not ordinary.

  "Cough, cough!" Lin Zixian was exposed in public for his ulterior motives and thought to himself that it's enough to just know about it, why say it out loud and make things more awkward. He let out a dry laugh and said: "Assistant Ning is really making fun of me, an honest person, we're colleagues after all, shouldn't we care about each other?"

  Ning Lan just couldn't help but tease him a bit, nothing else in mind, smiled and said: "Deputy Director Lin, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, can we go to your office?"

  "No problem!" Lin Zixian stood up and left, able to have a private chat with a beauty, what's wrong with that?

  Ning Lan smiled and glanced at his big hat, her high heels clicking crisply as she followed behind him.

  Three pairs of eyes on the front desk customer service edge stared at the back of the two people, pondering what they wanted to chat about privately.

  After arriving at the Security Department office, Ning Lan explained his intention. Since yesterday's meal was not finished, Qiao An Tian wanted to make up for it. In order to be safe, he planned to express his gratitude in the company's VIP dining room and would do something more formal later when there was an opportunity.

  Lin Zile had no interest in having lunch with an old man and talking about some uninteresting topics, thinking that he would have to share his working lunch with two customer service girls outside, he immediately refused.

  Ning Lan was taken aback, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Deputy Director Lin has made up his mind to care about the meal of the two female customer service staff at the front desk. How can I explain this to the chairman when I get back?"

  Lin Zi's face turned red, and he said sternly: "You can't say that. In my eyes, people are equal, the chairman is a person, the front desk customer service staff... employees are also people, we should all be on an equal footing! At least there should be some order, I invited them first, so the chairman's has to wait."

  Ning Lan burst out laughing and thought to herself, "Is this still the same person from yesterday?"

  Her bright eyes sparkled as she teased: "So that's how it is! Then Vice Minister Lin should also come and care about my eating affairs sometime!"

  Lin Zixian thought she was just joking and didn't take it to heart, also, which man would have the idea of hitting on three chicks at the same time and place. He casually said: "Alright, some other day when I'm free, I'll invite Assistant Ning out for a meal."

  Who would have thought that Ning Lan smiled and said: "You're a man of your word, I'll remember that." Her eyes stared into his without blinking.

  "Haha! Got it, got it." Lin Zixian waved his hand and invited him to leave: "Assistant Ning is a busy person, I won't take up too much of your time, I'll send you off." He was thinking about his lunch appointment with the two customer service beauties, and didn't have the heart to continue being teased by others, so he directly started sending them off.

  "I'm a beauty too, without someone like you! Just now you said we're even, but now you're being biased. Ning Lan pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes, but her cheeks were slightly flushed, she didn't know what was wrong with her today, she had never joked around like this at the company, especially not with a man."

  To cover up the awkwardness, he immediately changed the subject and said: "Vice Minister Lin, it's not good for me to go back like this either. Why don't you call the chairman now and explain it yourself? I'm not going to say that you didn't give him face because of your infatuation with his sister!"

  "Am I that kind of person? ... What's his office phone number?" Lin Zixian asked for a phone call, and directly dialed Qiao Antian, casually making up a reason, even saying that he was physically uncomfortable, and sent Qiao Antian away like this. Then, with a smile, he again expressed to Ning Lan the intention of sending him off.

  Ning Lan glared at him, pretending to be angry and turned to leave. Lin Zixian didn't even say a comforting word, and before he could escort her to the elevator, he tossed out a sentence: "Assistant Ning, slow down, I'm not seeing you off!"

  Li Ma excitedly rubbed his hands together and walked towards the customer service front desk, shouting: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, have you thought about what to eat for lunch? I'll go get it myself."

  "Pervert!" Ning Lan turned her head and gave him a disdainful look, biting her lip in anger and muttering under her breath before entering the elevator.

  The two customer service girls at the front desk were still in shock, and they didn't dare to let Assistant Ning misunderstand again. Little Zhang tactfully declined: "Deputy Director Lin, it's better not to, we can just have a simple lunch together." Little Li nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  "You don't even give me a chance to have a working lunch with you, it seems like you look down on us security guards." Lin Zixian's expression was very serious.

  Duan Jiye glanced at him and immediately cooperated, pulling a long face: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, you're not doing this right. You can't just change what's been agreed upon. Director Lin has just arrived, and if you treat him like this, it'll be embarrassing for our new colleague..."

  The deputy minister and the vice minister coordinated to talk a lot of sense, finally persuading the two sisters. Deputy Minister Lin sat back in with a smile, and several people discussed what to eat for lunch...

  Just then, the sound of high heels came from the elevator again, not like ordinary footsteps, but a rhythmic and regular "click-clack" that made people think of a morgue at midnight. Several people turned their heads to look.

  A middle-aged woman in a professional suit with glasses walked over, looking decent, her eyes gazing seriously at this place, her facial expression also very serious, both palms motionless and clasped together on top of each other, steadily placed on her abdomen, her demeanor resembling that of Extinction Grandmaster.

  "Director Dong!" Little Zhang and Little Li called out respectfully.

  The Extinction Sect's leader walked over with a rhythmic gait, exuding an air of superiority, ignoring the two men. She glanced at Duan Jiuye and then shifted her gaze to Lin Zixian, looking him up and down in his security uniform. Her eyebrows furrowed as she asked, "Who are you? Why are you sitting at the customer service front desk?"

  "Director Dong, let me introduce you to our Deputy Director of the Security Department, Lin Zixian, who has just started working. " Xiang Jiye smiled and introduced Lin Zixian, then turned to the latter and said: "Director Lin, this is Director Dong Jiayun of the General Affairs Department."

  "It's Director Dong, I've long admired you." Lin Zixian, although he had never heard of this person before, still immediately stood up with a smile and extended his hand for a handshake.

  "Why, the family didn't even mean to shake hands with him, both hands still resting on his abdomen, and said lightly: "The company has so many departments, I've never heard of a deputy minister position before. The security department doesn't have many people, but there are quite a few positions. There are so many positions that there's no place to put them, and they shouldn't occupy the customer service front desk either! The entrance is empty, it seems like that's where you should be standing."

  Lin Zile was taken aback for a moment. His first thought was that this woman had reached menopause, and he quickly withdrew his outstretched hand, somewhat at a loss as to what to make of her.

  Duan Jiye's face turned ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Director Dong, let's talk properly, no need to be ambiguous. Deputy Director Lin was directly appointed by the Chairman, if you have any opinions, you can report them to the Chairman."

  "Oh! Then I'd like to ask the director, how did the Security Department end up sitting at the customer service desk of our General Affairs Department? Do you want to put our General Affairs Department under your Security Department's management as well?" Director Dong's face was tinged with sarcasm.

  Duan Jiye was immediately speechless, he also knew that Lin Zixian's actions were not in line with the rules, and if the lawsuit reached the chairman, there would be no way to reason it out. Most importantly, this woman had some background, and he couldn't afford to offend her.
