Chapter 4 Deputy Minister Lin

  "Is it you?" Lin Zixian stared with her eyes wide open, coughing out the tea water that had choked into her airway.

  Because of his changed attire, Qiao Yun didn't recognize him at first, but his demeanor quickly reminded her who he was. The bright and smooth forehead with a pair of eyebrows that seemed to contain a heroic spirit furrowed: "How is it you?"

  You can tell she's a woman who stands out from the crowd just by looking at her slender, elegant eyebrows. Most women would pluck and shape their brows, but hers are naturally beautiful, with no signs of ever having been touched up - and yet they're perfectly shaped. If she were to try to enhance them, she might actually lose some of their natural charm.

  Her cold and icy expression, combined with those deep and bright eyes, gave people a sense of reverence and distance.

  But that exquisite and unparalleled figure, paired with a heavenly face, is a beauty that cannot be described in words, truly an extraordinary woman.

  "What? You know each other?" Qiao An Tian's face lit up with joy, if that was the case, it would be easier to handle. If his daughter and Lin Zi Xian had a close relationship, maybe he could get him to put in more effort to help out. He still had confidence in his daughter's charm, not ruling out the possibility that Lin Zi Xian would do something to make her happy.

  "I don't know him." Qiao Yun immediately denied, and then said: "Chairman, I hope you can consider carefully, I think the company really doesn't need to hire this kind of person." She didn't have a good impression of Lin Zixian at all. In her eyes, he was just a scoundrel who liked to flirt with women.

  Lin Zi sat there with an awkward expression, unsure whether to hold onto his teacup or put it down.

  He can be light as a feather in front of Qiao An Tian, but facing this cold beauty, he really has no bottom line. Who made himself unsuccessful in pursuing her, not to mention being beaten by her, his face was lost in the Pacific Ocean, where did he still have the face to protect her? But he just agreed with Qiao An Tian earlier...

  Don't you know each other? How is that possible? The two of you are clearly familiar with each other! Qiao An Tian was also momentarily at a loss as to what was going on between these two people, and after a pause, said: "Xiao Yun, Mr. Lin's background is extraordinary, I've privately invited him to protect you, it's all for your safety."

  "Quite an impressive background, I presume?" Qiao Yun's cold eyes stared intensely as she asked, "Mr. Lin, isn't it? Yesterday, I had the pleasure of returning to China on the same flight as Mr. Lin, and I still vividly remember every move he made. May I ask what Mr. Lin does in America?"

  Qiao An Tian heard the words and was slightly stunned, it turned out that they had met on a plane, and indeed didn't have much of a relationship. He also looked at Lin Zi Xian with some curiosity, wondering what he had done to make his daughter so grown up.

  However, he became more and more convinced of Lin Bao's extraordinary abilities. He made a phone call, and the other party immediately summoned his disciples from the United States, which shows that his followers are all over the country and abroad!

  Lin Zi Xian was actually feeling a little guilty, he was really worried that Qiao Yun would reveal the truth about him flirting with her in front of her father. It wasn't that he was afraid of the father-daughter duo, but rather the embarrassment of being exposed for his shameless and indecent behavior in front of someone else's father. The key point was that deep down, he had indeed harbored improper thoughts towards Qiao Yun, which was his weak spot.

  Men who have experienced their first meeting with their girlfriend's parents can understand this feeling, which is somewhat similar, and tension is inevitable.

  However, when it comes down to it, he has to face it. He can't wait to get rid of this woman and, mustering up his courage, says: "Washing dishes in a restaurant in the United States."

  Qiao An was taken aback, thinking she had misheard. Qiao Yun, however, replied coldly with a expressionless face: "Then do you think you have the ability to protect me?" She really wanted to remind him directly, I can take care of you myself, what are you going to protect me from?

  Seeing that the other party wouldn't dig up old dirt, Lin Zixian also adjusted his mindset and took a sip of tea before saying: "If you need it, I can try."

  "No need." Qiao Yun's crisp and clean rejection was: "Chairman, I won't accept this kind of protection from someone with a problematic character. I have other things to attend to, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb the Chairman anymore."

  A sentence "He has a problem with his character" made Lin Zixian, who had just brought tea to his mouth, choke and cough repeatedly. He wanted to explain himself, but the other person only left behind a beautiful back view, disappearing outside the door.

  "Mr. Lin, is there some kind of misunderstanding between you and my daughter?" Qiao An Tian asked with a puzzled expression.

  "It's indeed a misunderstanding." Lin Zixian was honest, but somewhat evasive in his words: "I won't deny that your daughter is pretty. On the way back on the same plane, I chatted with her for a few sentences, and she took me for a pervert. It's really a misunderstanding, it's even more unjust than Dou E!"

  "Oh..." Qiao An looked at him with profound meaning, sat back in her own seat, and after a moment of contemplation, made a decision: "Mr. Lin, how about this? You can take up a position in my Nianhua Group, as the Deputy Director of the Security Department!"

  Lin Zi furrowed his brow and said, "Isn't that necessary? I don't want to join any company."

  "Don't worry, it's just a nominal position, you don't need to do anything, I'll notify the people below, your main task is to protect General Manager Qiao Yun... Don't misunderstand, you've also seen my daughter's temper, if we don't use some tactics, she won't accept it. Within the company, as long as it doesn't affect the normal operation of the company, as the chairman of the board, I have direct administrative power to appoint and remove personnel. Once your position is established, even if she wants to veto my appointment, she must go through the board of directors for approval. And she won't make a big deal out of this small matter and take it to the board of directors to embarrass me as her father. Even if it goes to the board of directors, other board members will give me some face. As long as a formal decision is made, even if she doesn't accept it, she'll have to." Qiao An Tian smiled.

  "Alright!" Lin Zixian reluctantly accepted, but in fact, he had the idea of finding an opportunity to get close to her in his subconscious mind, otherwise, he might not have agreed.

  Qiao An Tian made a phone call, and Ning Lan immediately took charge of the matter. He led Lin Zi Xian to several departments, taking photos and handling paperwork, until finally an employee ID card was issued to him.

  Holding the employee card in his hand, Lin Zixian couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. If someone from another circle found out that he had started doing this, they would probably laugh their teeth off.

  Ning Lan took him to the Security Department again and handed him over to Director Duan Jiyi of the Security Department.

  The Director of the Department received a notice from the Chairman, and suddenly a Deputy Director was parachuted in. He was not very happy about it, worried that the other person had a relationship with the Chairman and would eventually take his job.

  But before Ning Lan left, she pulled Director Duan aside and whispered something in his ear, immediately dispelling the displeasure in his heart. It turned out that he was a professional bodyguard who would leave sooner or later, not someone who came to steal his rice bowl.

  Despite this, Director Duan still conscientiously performed his duties, giving Lin Zixian a general introduction to the situation of the Security Department and taking him on a tour of various posts.

  Those two security guards who had previously kicked him out of the building were now very nervous, never expecting that this guy would suddenly become their superior. The two customer service girls at the front desk were also nervous, knowing that a deputy director of security in a large company has considerable power over lower-level employees, not to mention having his own office and even the authority to discipline them; if he wanted to make things difficult for them, he could easily get them fired.

  The two of them finished their patrol and were almost at the end of their workday. Director Duan was very enthusiastic, wanting to invite Lin Zixian out for dinner, but Lin Zixian declined politely. Just then, the office phone suddenly rang, and Director Duan picked it up: "Hello! Security Department, who's this? Hmm... Chairman... Uh-huh... Okay!" He turned around and shouted to Lin Zixian: "Director Lin, the Chairman is looking for you."

  "Qiao An Tian looking for me? Ask him what's up." Lin Zixian turned his head and casually said, continuing to look at the photos of the more than 100 employees under the Security Department column.

  Director Duan was sweating profusely, realizing he had really encountered a big shot. Not to mention the chairman's phone calls that were hard to answer, he even addressed him by name. He quickly covered the receiver with his hand and smiled wryly: "Minister Lin, what right do I have to care about the chairman's affairs? You'd better answer the phone yourself!"

  Lin Zi didn't make things difficult for him, walked over to take the phone from his hand, and said: "What's up, Director Qiao? ...Receiving wind? Eating...". He glanced at Duan Jiye, "I'm afraid not, Director Duan of the Security Department wants to invite me to dinner, I've already agreed..."

  Director Duan's body swayed, almost losing his balance. He asked himself what virtue or ability he had to dare snatch the chairman's guest, and thought that if he didn't behave, he wouldn't be able to mix in the famous Flower Group anymore. Faster than a rabbit, he rushed over, hastily covering Director Lin's phone with his hand, and broke out in cold sweat: "Director Lin, have I offended you? Please forgive me, my meal can be eaten at any time, let's find an empty space, today I remembered there was something I hadn't done yet, temporarily unable to accompany you, why don't you go attend the chairman's appointment instead?"

  Lin Zi suddenly reacted, daring not to give Qiao An Tian face, others still want to mix rice under Qiao An Tian's hands, but don't dare offend the big boss. Pushing away his hand, he replied: "Director Qiao, are you there? ...Oh! That Director Duan suddenly remembered that there was something else, the dinner party was postponed... Alright, I'll wait for you."

  Bang, hung up the phone and continued to look at the staff column to see who was the most handsome, I guess it won't be long before my own photo will be posted.

  The minister wiped the cold sweat, turned back to grab the teacup on the table and gulped down the tea water to quench his thirst, finally sat down in a chair with a thud, looking at Lin Zilei's gaze still lingering.

  The company has a new employee appointment, and the materials naturally arrived at the general manager's hands in the first place.

  Qiao Yun saw the appointment notice of Deputy Minister Yan Lin, and she immediately understood what was going on. She directly threw it aside, without even having the interest to take another look, and turned back to continue with her own tasks at hand.

  The phone on the table rang, Qiao Yun grabbed the receiver, and his father's voice came from inside. After listening, he replied coldly: "Chairman, I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I won't be able to join you for dinner for now. Maybe next time!" He hung up the phone directly.
