Chapter 10 Director of Security Bureau

  Lin San arrived at Ding Sheng Group just in time at 7:30, neither early nor late.

  At this time, the entrance of Ding Sheng Group's building was crowded with employees going in and out for work.

  Lin San took a deep breath, adjusted his collar, and then walked into the building with his head held high.

  The hall is very spacious, with a smooth and shiny marble floor, a row of dazzling crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, and some porcelain vases placed around the hall, which appear to be antiques.

  In the center of the hall stood a group of people, who were the same ones that had accompanied Lin San to the interview yesterday. Lin San walked over with big strides and stood at the edge of the crowd.

  About ten minutes later, Qian Mingguang walked out of the elevator in a straight suit, accompanied by a middle-aged man wearing a security uniform.

  Lin San and others hastily greeted: "Hello, Director Qian."

  Qian Mingguang smiled and greeted everyone, then introduced the middle-aged man beside him: "This is Comrade Xiahou, the director of the Security Department."

  "Good morning!" Everyone greeted respectfully.

  Xiahou nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

  Qian Mingguang smiled and said, "From now on, you will be under the jurisdiction of Director Xia. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Director Xia directly." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xia Hou: "Director Xia, I'll leave these security guards to you. I still have something to attend to, so I'll go back first."

  Xia Chuzhang nodded: "Good."

  Qian Mingguang waved goodbye to Lin San and others, then took the elevator upstairs. The personnel department is only responsible for recruiting employees. After recruitment, they need to be handed over to the department leaders. The internal management of Ding Sheng Group is very strict, and the division of labor among various departments is also very rigorous.

  Xia Hou swept a glance at the crowd in front of him and said coldly, "Since you're working as security guards for Ding Sheng Group, you must follow the rules. I have a bad temper and speak directly. If you make mistakes, I'll scold you mercilessly and even fire you. In short, one sentence: work diligently, be honest, don't cause trouble for me, did you hear that?"

  "Got it!" everyone responded in unison.

  Xiahou furrowed his brow: "Your voice is so soft, didn't you eat breakfast this morning? Speak louder!"

  "We heard it!!!" Everyone puffed out their chest and shouted loudly.

  Lin San stood in the crowd, sneaking a glance at Xia Hou, pouting and thinking to himself: What's the big deal about being a broken security chief?

  Xiahou pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket: "Now I'll start calling the roll, those whose names are called should respond with 'present'... Li Cong."

  "Here!" a thin little fellow cried out.

  "Zheng Guang." Xiahou continued to shout.

  "Here!" a flat-headed man replied.

  Before long, Xiahou had counted more than half of the people.

  "Lin San!" Xia Hou shouted.

  "Come on!!!" Lin San yelled at the top of his lungs.

  Xiahou frowned and glanced at Lin San: "Why are you shouting so loudly, it makes you sound hoarse!"

  Lin San said with a smile: "No, I just want you to hear it more clearly..."

  "I heard it clearly, and my ears are still ringing." Xia Hou said with a straight face.

  Lin San slightly pursed his lips: "Director Xia, sorry."

  "Be more careful next time!" Xiahou hummed lightly and continued calling out names.

  Lin San looked calmly at Xia Hou, in his heart he had greeted eighteen generations of Xia Hou's female ancestors.

  After a few minutes, Xia Hou finished checking off the names of all 30 people, without missing a single one.

  Xiahou put away the form and said: "There are 30 of you in total, mainly responsible for the security of the entire building. You will be divided into three groups, each group working 24 hours a day without stopping. As for salary, since this is a trial period, it's slightly lower, at 1200 yuan per month. After the three-month trial period ends, the company will sign contracts with you and your salaries will increase to 1500 yuan. Do any of you have any opinions?"

  "No objection." everyone said in unison.

  Xiahou nodded: "Alright, next I'll divide you into groups..."

  Lin San was very lucky to be assigned to the first group, from 8 am to 4 pm. The leader of the group was a 30-year-old veteran named Zhou Tian, with dark skin and a smile at the corner of his mouth. He spoke in a gentle tone, giving people a good impression. It is said that Zhou Tian had been a squad leader in the army and had some management experience.

  Xiahou took out a walkie-talkie from his waist and said a few words.

  Before long, someone carried in two trunks.

  Xiahou opened the box and pointed at the security uniforms and walkie-talkies inside: "Each of you will get a set of security uniform and a walkie-talkie, now start choosing."

  Everyone rushed to the box and started selecting their own security uniforms and walkie-talkies.

  Ten minutes later, everyone had changed into security uniforms and was wearing brand new intercoms on their waists.

  Xiahou clapped his hands: "From now on, you will wear security uniforms to work. Take good care of the walkie-talkies and don't damage them, otherwise you'll have to pay for repairs yourselves. Alright, the first group stays behind, the other two groups can go home. Remember to come back to the company on time for shift changes."

  "Yes, Director Xia." The personnel of the second and third groups nodded and then turned around and left the company.

  Xia Hou turned his head to look at the temporary team leader Zhou Tian: "Your main job is to be responsible for the safety of the first floor hall, do not let idle people enter the company, and if there are any disturbances, you must stop them in time."

  Zhou Tian nodded: "I understand."

  "Alright, you all get back to work. If there's anything, come find me directly." Having said that, Xia Hou turned around and took the elevator away.

  "Everyone must know my name by now. I'm a straightforward person, no beating around the bush. It's an honor to be working with all of you, and I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future."

  "It was a pleasure working together!" said the members of the group in unison.

  Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Next, let's have everyone introduce themselves."

  "My name is Zhang Biao, I'm 30 years old, and I used to be a driver," said a slightly chubby man.

  "My name is Wang Long, my name is Wang Hu, we are biological brothers." said two young men who looked very alike.

  "My name is Li Cong."

  "My name is Zheng Guang."

  "My name is Lin San, I just graduated from university."

  Zhou Tian smiled: "On the day of the martial arts competition, I was also present. You knocked down your opponent with one punch, it was really amazing."

  Lin Sanqian humbly said: "That was just luck, not worth mentioning."

  "You're too modest," said Zhou Tian.

  "Ding ding ding......" A sudden burst of urgent ringing echoed through the building.

  Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, then continued: "It's time to go to work. Next, I'll assign tasks. Lin San and Zhang Biao, you two will stand guard at the entrance. Zheng Guang and Li Cong, you two will stay inside the hall..."

  Lin San and Zhang Biao arrived at the entrance of the building together, standing one on the left and one on the right.

  Zhang Biao stood up straight, his eyes fixed ahead, and his expression was very serious.

  Lin San looked up at the scorching sun and pouted: "It's too hot, if I have to stand for 8 hours, I'll probably pass out directly."

  Zhang Biao didn't say anything.

  "Alas... it's really unfair, we security guards have to stand outside and get sunburned, while others can enjoy the air conditioning in the hall. The treatment is just too unfair." Lin San complained.

  Zhang Biao still kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.

  "Hey! Why are you ignoring me?"

  Zhang Biao turned his head and took a look at Lin San, then turned his head back: "We are on duty now, we can't talk."

  "Hey big brother, don't be so serious." Lin San said with a smile. This Zhang Biao is really too rigid, and now that the leader isn't around, it's not like it's a big deal to chat casually for a bit, what a bore.

  "I finally managed to get a job at Ding Sheng Group with great difficulty, I must cherish it well and can't make any mistakes." Zhang Biao said stiffly.

  "You... now there are only two of us at the door, no one else will see us even if we chat for a bit." Lin San slightly raised an eyebrow.

  "There's nothing much for us to talk about." Zhang Biao said calmly.

  "What's wrong with you, are you so stupid?" Lin San said with a crooked mouth. Today was really unlucky, how did he run into such a wooden-headed guy?

  "If you're afraid of being exposed outside, you can go and ask Director Zhou to change your position." Zhang Biao said coldly after glancing at Lin San.

  "Vroom!" A Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped in front of the building, the door opened, and a driver got out, running to the back to open the rear door. A slender white leg stretched out from the car, followed by a beautiful woman who slowly stepped out.

  "Ah!" Lin San's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the woman who got off the car was Gu Jialan.

  Gujalan got off the car and walked directly towards the entrance of the building. Her figure was elegant, and her pace was also very even.

  At this time, Zhou Tian ran out of the building and respectfully greeted Gu Jialan: "Miss Gu, hello." When he was applying for a job, Zhou Tian had met Gu Jialan once before and knew that she was not only the daughter of the big boss of Ding Sheng Group but also an executive director of the group.

  Gujalan glanced at Zhou Tian, nodded slightly, and walked towards the building without saying a word from start to finish.

  Lin San stared blankly at Gu Jialan as she approached from afar, his entire body frozen in place. For the first time, Lin San and Gu Jialan were so close to each other. At this moment, Lin San's heart was extremely excited, his breathing becoming somewhat difficult.

  Gujalan walked very quickly and soon entered the building.

  Zhou Tian followed closely behind Gu Jiaran, his face revealing an exceptionally respectful expression.

  After entering the hall, Gu Jia Lan directly took the elevator upstairs.

  For a long time...

  Lin San came back to his senses, let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "I'm really hopeless... Hmm..." Lin San suddenly saw a handkerchief at the entrance of the building, with an embroidered flower on it. He walked over to pick it up, and was hit with a refreshing fragrance. The handkerchief was made of silk, feeling smooth and soft in his hands. Lin San looked at the handkerchief and thought: "This must be Gu Jialan's." With this thought, he rushed into the hall, intending to return the handkerchief to Gu Jialan, but there was no sign of her anywhere except for the security guard and the duty salesperson.

  "Lin San, you're not standing guard outside, how did you get in?" Zhou Tian walked over with his hands behind his back, asking suspiciously.

  "Ah? I...I'm thirsty, I want to drink water..." Lin San said hesitantly, his right hand secretly moving behind his back to hide the handkerchief.

  "Oh, then hurry up and drink it, and go stand guard at the door immediately after finishing." Zhou Tian said.

  "Ah." Lin nodded and ran to the water dispenser in the corner, got a cup of water and drank it, then walked out of the hall and continued standing guard at the door.

  Zhang Biao still stood upright at the door, his eyes fixed straight ahead, without saying a word.

  Lin San opened his palm, quietly gazing at the handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief was something Gu Jialan always carried with her, and it still held her scent. Lin San took a deep breath, carefully folded the handkerchief, and tucked it into his pocket. He had already decided that as soon as Gu Jialan came out of the building, he would immediately return the handkerchief to her.
