Chapter 48 Xiahou was very depressed

  Xiahou's current mood is somewhat depressed, and towards Lin San, Xiahou really doesn't have much good feeling. In Xiahou's heart, Lin San is just a pretty boy who relies on women to make a living, with hardly any real skills.

  "Director Xia, I don't know what work I'll be responsible for in the future?" Seeing Xia Hou frowning tightly without saying a word, Lin San couldn't help but ask.

  "Hmm." Xia Hou regained his composure and took a deep breath: "From now on, you'll be in charge of distributing security uniforms and tools."

  "Huh?" Lin San was taken aback: "Let me be in charge of this?" A deputy director, actually managing the distribution of security uniforms and equipment, it's really a bit... wasting his talent.

  Xiahou glanced at Lin San: "Lin San, I'm also considering this for your own good. After all, you're a newcomer with little experience. If I suddenly let you take charge of such an important task, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. It's better to start with some lighter work first and adjust gradually as you gain more experience." The excuse sounded reasonable enough, but in reality, he just wanted to teach Lin San a lesson.

  Xiahou had said it so seriously, what else could Lin San say? He could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

  Xiahou picked up the receiver, dialed a number, said a few words and hung up.

  Before long, a pretty woman in her 30s wearing professional attire walked in: "Director Xia, what's up?"

  Xiahou pointed at Lin San: "This is the newly appointed Deputy Director Lin San, take Deputy Director Lin to see his office."

  The beautiful woman was taken aback, and hastily rushed to greet Lin San: "Deputy Director Lin, hello, my name is Gao Xue, I'm the secretary of the Security Department." The secretary was actually a secretary, responsible for serving leaders and handling some simple trivial matters.

  Lin San politely nodded: "Hello."

  Gao Xue gave Xia Hou a nod and then led Lin San out of the office.

  Xiahou sat in a chair, slightly furrowing his brow, with an unpleasant expression on his face.

  Lin San looked around his office with a somewhat strange expression. The area of the office was not small, over 20 square meters, and it had all the necessary furniture such as a desk, chair, sofa, and bookshelf. However, there was one problem - it was dirty, very dirty, extremely dirty. The entire office was filled with dust, and some corners even had spider webs.

  Lin San turned his head to look at Gao Xue: "Is this my office?"

  Gao Xue awkwardly smiled: "Sorry, Deputy Director Lin. Since you were suddenly appointed as the deputy director, we didn't have time to clean up... But don't worry, Deputy Director Lin, I've already contacted the cleaning staff and they'll be here soon to help you clean up."

  Lin San furrowed his brow: "Has this office been idle for a long time?"

  Gao Xue nodded: "Yes, this office is usually used to store miscellaneous items... uh..." Gao Xue suddenly realized she had said something she shouldn't have and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

  Lin San was speechless, feeling a bit disgusted in his heart. After making a fuss for half a day, he found that his own office was actually a storage room.

  Gao Xue saw that Lin San's face didn't look good, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak, lest her stinky mouth would say something unpleasant again and offend Lin San.

  Lin San took a deep breath: "Get someone to clean up immediately, I'll come to inspect before work this afternoon." After finishing speaking, he threw down Gao Xue and Lin San walked out of the office in big strides.

  Walking in the corridor, Lin San was sulking, secretly harboring resentment. He had thought that after becoming a deputy director, he would be invincible, but unexpectedly, he ended up being responsible for some unimportant work, and his office was even replaced with a storage room. It's really infuriating.

  "Deputy Director Lin, hello." A man's voice suddenly came from in front of him.

  Lin San looked up and found a man in his 30s standing opposite him, not very tall but with a strong physique, a flat head, small eyes. Lin San was taken aback and hastily smiled: "Oh, it's Deputy Director Guan, hello." The small-eyed man opposite him was none other than Guan Yue, another deputy director of the Security Department, whom Lin San had met a few times before.

  Guan Yue extended his hand and shook hands with Lin San: "I heard that Deputy Director Lin is taking office today, so I came to say hello."

  "Deputy Director Guan is too polite," Lin San smiled and said.

  "From now on, we are colleagues, if you need anything, just let me know." Guan Yue's attitude was very polite.

  "After that, it's inevitable to trouble Vice Director Guan's place." Lin San tried to lower his posture a bit, after all, Guan Yue had been the vice director for several years and had more seniority and experience than Lin San, so to speak, he was Lin San's predecessor.

  "Deputy Director Guan, Director Xia asks you to go to his office." someone shouted at the corridor entrance.

  Guan Yue smiled apologetically at Lin San: "Director Xia is calling me, let's talk another day." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards Director Xia's office.

  Lin San quietly gazed at Guan Yue's back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, unsure what was going on. Guan Yue gave Lin San a somewhat awkward feeling, although she spoke and smiled warmly on the surface, but her eyes seemed somewhat cold and gloomy.

  A group of security guards soon learned that Lin San Sheng was appointed as the deputy director of security, and they all envied him with red eyes. Especially Li Cong even pulled Lin San to ask him to treat them to a meal, Lin San was delighted in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed to find a hotel to celebrate after work tonight.

  Xiahou sat in the chair, silently puffing on his cigarette.

  Guan Yue poured herself a cup of tea and sat quietly across from him.

  "Have you seen Lin San?" Xia Hou spat out a mouthful of smoke and said slowly.

  Guān Yuè nodded: "I've seen it."

  "What do you think?" Xia Hou looked at Guan Yue.

  "Thinking for a moment, Guan Yue said: 'The contact time is short, it's not good to evaluate, but looking at Lin San's appearance, he should be a very slick person.' After finishing, Guan Yue pondered for a moment: 'Director Xia, I heard something......'"

  "Speak." Xiahou knocked the ashtray over and flicked some ashes into it.

  "I heard that Miss Gu originally planned to remove you and replace you with Lin San as the department head, but was later suppressed by Chairman Gu..." Guan Yue said while carefully observing Xiahou's expression.

  Xiahou's face sank, and he glanced at Guan Yue: "Is the news reliable?"

  "It should be true, I have a friend working on the 29th floor, and I heard it from Miss Gu's secretary myself." Guan Yue nodded.

  Xia Hou furrowed his brow tightly, his eyes gleaming with a fierce and terrifying light.

  Guan Yue said worriedly: "Director Xia, you'd better be more careful around Lin San in the future..."

  "Hmph! A young whippersnapper like you thinks he can take my place? Don't even think about it!" Xia Hou snorted.

  "The key now is that Lin San has won the favor of Miss Guo...". Guan Yue's meaning was simple, Lin San himself was not to be feared, but with the support of Gu Jialan, Lin San became a dangerous figure.

  Xiahou was furious, but he still had his wits about him. He took a deep breath and said, "Lin San wants to replace me? We'll see if I let him!"

  Guan Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, Guan Yue felt a strong killing intent from Xia Hou. Guan Yue knew that the days after Lin San would be difficult.

  2 o'clock in the afternoon.

  Lin San arrived at his own office.

  Gao Xue's handling ability was not bad, and in the morning, the messy office was already cleaned up. There were several pots of fresh flowers on the windowsill, and the floor was also wiped clean.

  Lin San walked to the back of the office desk, let out a fart, and sat down in the swivel chair with a comfortable spin: "Comfortable." Leaning against the back of the chair, Lin San casually pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, lit it up, and took a puff. Lin San wasn't a heavy smoker, almost never smoking, only doing so when he was feeling depressed or excited.

  When Lin San was in college, he dreamed of becoming a boss who sat in the office. However, after graduating from university, the harsh reality of society hit Lin San hard. It wasn't easy to find a stable job, let alone become a boss. Just when Lin San felt lost, he unexpectedly became the deputy director of the security department at Ding Sheng Group. Not only did his salary increase several times, but he also had an office of his own. It was truly unbelievable.

  "Beep...beep...beep..." The phone suddenly started vibrating.

  Lin San casually picked up his phone and answered: "Hello?"

  "Lin San, what are you doing now?" A soft laughter came from Gula's phone.

  "Miss Gu." Lin San subconsciously straightened his back: "Miss Gu, you're looking for me? Is there something I can help you with?"

  "Can't I call you just because nothing's wrong?" Gu Jialan smiled and said.

  "Ah...... no, I didn't mean it that way......" Lin San hastily explained.

  "Are you free tonight? Accompany me for dinner." Gu Jialan didn't tease Lin San anymore, and directly stated her intention.

  "Got time, got time." Lin San agreed without hesitation.

  "Alright, wait for me at the entrance of the building after work tonight." After saying that, Gu Jialan hung up the phone.

  Lin San gently placed the microphone on the desk and smiled with a crooked mouth.

  Finally waited until after work, Lin San gathered his things, changed clothes, and rushed to the building entrance at a speed of 100 meters.

  After waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Jialan's beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the building, with two security guards following behind her.

  "Miss Gu." Lin San hastily stepped forward to greet her.

  Gujalan smiled: "Have you waited for a long time?"

  "No, I just came down too." Lin San shook his head repeatedly.

  At this time, Zhou Tian led a group of security guards out of the building and surrounded Gu Jialan and Lin San in the middle, cautiously looking around.

  After chatting with Lin San for a few words, Gu Jialan led Lin San to his Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by Zhou Tian and the security guards.

  "Jialan!" An excited voice came from one side.

  Gu Jialan and Lin San were both stunned at the same time, turning around in surprise to see a young man with a shiny face rushing towards Gu Jialan.

  Is that Qin Hao? Lin San furrowed his brow, he had already recognized the young man who ran over as Qin Hao, the son of Qin Shenghan, a big boss in the provincial city. A few days ago, at Qin Shenghan's yacht party, Lin San had also had a dispute with Qin Hao.

  Qin Hao had just run to the entrance of the building when he was intercepted by Zhou Tian and his men.

  "What are you doing? Get out of my way!" Qin Hao shouted loudly, his eyes wide with anger. What was Qin Hao's status that these few small security guards dared to block his path?

  Zhou Tian and others ignored Qin Hao's angry shouts, expressionless, blocking his way.

  Gujalan furrowed her brow and walked up to Qin Hao: "Qin Hao, what are you doing here?"

  "Jialan, I heard you're back safely and I'm overjoyed. I'll drive right over to see you." Just a few days ago, Gu Jialan had gone missing from the cruise ship, which had left Qin Hao feeling gloomy for several days. As for Gu Jialan, Qin Hao genuinely liked her. Yesterday, when he heard that she had returned safely to Lanzhou City, Qin Hao was thrilled and immediately drove over to Lanzhou City.
