"What are you doing?"
Just as the two young men following Zhang Tao were about to make a move on Chu Lingtian, Liu Bingxue's voice sounded from nearby.
Upon seeing Liu Bingxue arrive, Zhang Tao and the two young men's expressions immediately changed, and they quickly stepped aside.
Guo Xiaoyan also immediately stood up from her seat.
At this moment, Zhang Tao was the first to speak with a fawning smile, "Manager Liu, my two colleagues and I are looking for empty seats."
"Are there any empty seats here?"
Liu Bingxue's expression was icy cold, her demeanor emanating a haughty dominance as she looked at Zhang Tao and asked.
"No, no, we'll look elsewhere."
Zhang Tao was startled and quickly signaled to the two young men. Then, the three of them quickly walked away with their trays.
"Hello, Manager Liu, my name is Guo Xiaoyan..."
Before Guo Xiaoyan could finish speaking, Liu Bingxue gave Chu Lingtian a fierce glare with her beautiful eyes, turned around, and left in her high heels.
Chu Lingtian watched Guo Xiaoyan, who stood frozen in place, looking somewhat stunned and embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, your braised pork is too delicious."
"Brother Chu, I-I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have offended Zhang Tao, and Zhang Tao wouldn't have deliberately come to seek revenge."
Guo Xiaoyan's pure, beautiful eyes were filled with tears of guilt.
"Silly girl, it's not your fault. Even if I hadn't encountered you being harassed by Zhang Tao, if I saw that scumbag's beastly behavior at work long-term, I would definitely have intervened." Chu Lingtian said with a faint smile.
"Brother Chu..."
Guo Xiaoyan wanted to continue with her apologies and expressions of guilt, but Chu Lingtian interrupted her.
Chu Lingtian put down his chopsticks, stood up, and smiled, "Xiaoyan, thank you for the meal. It was truly delicious. If Zhang Tao dares to harass you again, or if you encounter any other problems at the company, just call me."
Watching Chu Lingtian's retreating figure, Guo Xiaoyan was deeply touched. Aside from her parents, Chu Lingtian was the first person who had ever been so kind to her.
Meanwhile, in Zhang Tao's director's office.
"Director, if Manager Liu hadn't suddenly appeared just now, I would have beaten that Chu Lingtian all over the floor."
One of the young men said fiercely.
The other young man chimed in, "Damn it, Chu Lingtian is lucky this time. Next time, I'll make him crawl between your legs in front of everyone, and then beg for mercy on his knees."
These two young men spoke with arrogant bravado, completely disregarding Chu Lingtian. They both believed that if Liu Bingxue hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have already made Chu Lingtian kneel and beg for mercy.
Little did they know, if Liu Bingxue hadn't appeared, it would have been them kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Hmph, no need to rush. As long as this bastard Chu Lingtian is still in Baoxue Company, I'll have plenty of time and ways to deal with him."
Zhang Tao snorted coldly, his eyes filled with malice and scheming.
The first young man who spoke frowned and asked, "Director, rumor has it that Manager Liu personally approved Chu Lingtian's hiring as a security guard without HR's review. Could he have some unknown secret relationship with Manager Liu?"
"No, I'll tell you the truth: I have absolutely accurate information that Chu Lingtian and Liu Bingxue have no special secret relationship. Just go ahead and deal with him with confidence."
Zhang Tao firmly believed the information he had received from his cousin Yang Wei, as Yang Wei had personally probed Liu Bingxue.
According to the information Yang Wei obtained from Liu Bingxue, Chu Lingtian was merely introduced by an old classmate of Liu Bingxue's, and there was no relationship between them.
"Director, don't worry. I will definitely teach this dog, Chu Lingtian, a good lesson for you."
"Director, just watch me. Within a few days, I guarantee Chu Lingtian will kowtow and apologize to you in public!"
The two young men pledged their loyalty to Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao also took the opportunity to offer further incentives, nodding and saying, "As long as you two help me deal with Chu Lingtian and also help me get Guo Xiaoyan into bed, I will apply to the department head to have you promoted to deputy director."
"Thank you, Director."
"Thank you, Brother Tao."
The two young men were overjoyed and bowed and scraped like lapdogs.
At this moment, Chu Lingtian had already returned to the security booth at the entrance of the underground parking lot.
He handed the packed meal to Wang Dagang.
"Brother Chu, you're back just in time. Let's go to the assembly."
Wang Dagang placed the packed meal on the table beside him and said to Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian asked, "Assembly?"
"Yes, everyone in the security department except for the older employees over fifty, who will be temporarily guarding various posts, will gather in the gym. We need to select a personal driver for Manager Liu."
Wang Dagang replied.
Chu Lingtian shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'm not interested."
"Brother Chu, you have to go! When I was taking down the list of applicants just now, I put your name down too. If you don't go, Minister Wang Kai will definitely give me hell. I finally managed to find this job."
Wang Dagang said with a mournful face.
"What the hell!" Chu Lingtian was surprised that Wang Dagang had registered him without his consent. But thinking that the kid was quite decent, he said, "Alright, I'll accompany you, but I won't participate in the selection."
"Thanks, Brother." Wang Dagang grinned. He couldn't help but curiously ask, "Brother Chu, aren't you short of money? If you get selected as Manager Liu's personal driver, your salary will be doubled. Why aren't you interested?"
"No reason. I'm just not interested."
Chu Lingtian shrugged. Of course, he couldn't tell Wang Dagang that he had slept with Liu Bingxue, and that he didn't get along well with the cold and domineering female CEO.
Afterwards, Wang Dagang and Chu Lingtian walked towards the company's gym together.
Meanwhile, in a hidden corner of the gym, Zhang Tao was stuffing an envelope containing a stack of cash into the pocket of Wang Kai, the head of the security department.
"Brother Kai, you must accept this envelope. Otherwise, it would mean you look down on me, your little subordinate."
Zhang Tao desperately tried to shove the envelope into Wang Kai's pocket.
Wang Kai pretended to refuse a couple of times before accepting it. Then, he smiled and asked, "Are you trying to get me to teach Chu Lingtian a lesson for you?"
"Brother Kai, you're amazing! You guessed it right away and spoke so directly. I admire you, little brother!"
Zhang Tao quickly flattered him and gave him a thumbs-up.
Wang Kai nodded, his eyes showing a hint of malice, and said arrogantly, "Don't worry, even if you hadn't come to me, I would have taught Chu Lingtian a lesson later. Because he dared to hit you during the interview, he's too arrogant and ignorant of the rules. And I, Wang Kai, love to deal with these troublemakers. Every time I see such a troublemaker go from being untamed to completely obedient to me, doing whatever I say, and even submitting to my authority, I feel incredibly satisfied!"
