"Knock, knock, knock~"
Li Xiaoyao knocked on the door, and inside Lan Cai's voice ca through, "Please co in."
He pushed the door and entered, finding Lan Cai still dressed in professional attire, her smooth long hair draped over her shoulders, giving her an ethereal beauty.
For a mont, Li Xiaoyao's eyes were fixated, captivated by Lan Cai's stunning beauty, which exuded an effortless charm that nearly prevented him from looking away.
Li Xiaoyao promptly redirected his gaze, asking, "Did Director Lan summon ?"
Lan Cai looked up at Li Xiaoyao, her eyes showing a hint of surprise. Li Xiaoyao was dressed in a simple white shirt paired with black trousers that day, a combination that accentuated his entire deanor. The slightly mischievous yet earnest smile playing at the corners of his mouth made Lan Cai's heartbeat quicken when she saw it.
She quickly averted her gaze, concealing the unusual feelings inside her, and said with feigned indifference, "Mr. Li, please, have a seat."
Li Xiaoyao sat down across from her, and Lan Cai said, "Regarding yesterday's incident, I've already spoken to Long Feiyang over the phone. He won't cause any trouble for Zhang ng and Zhuo Yi."
From her statent, Li Xiaoyao imdiately detected an underlying ssage. Not causing trouble for Zhang ng and Zhuo Yi ant that the trouble was ant for him, right?
Lan Cai continued, "However, he might seek revenge against you."
Before Lan Cai could finish, Li Xiaoyao said, "Director Lan, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll submit my resignation later. The incident yesterday was because of . If the Long Family wants revenge, let them co after ."
After hearing his words, Lan Cai suddenly slapped the table, her voice raised several notches as her eyes widened slightly, "Li Xiaoyao!"
The shout from Lan Cai jolted Li Xiaoyao, who then asked, "Director Lan, what's wrong?"
Lan Cai was breathing heavily with annoyance. This jerk, he actually thought she was going to fire him, this jerk!
"When did I ever say I was going to fire you?" Lan Cai's tone had returned to its calm state.
"Not firing ?" Now it was Li Xiaoyao's turn to be surprised and confused. Logically speaking, having offended the Long Family, he had inadvertently drawn an enemy to Lan Cai. The best course of action would be to fire him and disassociate from him.
Lan Cai said, "You should hide out in Yun Country for a while. I've already bought your plane ticket."
She didn't ask if Li Xiaoyao had a passport or visa, as his resu included a record of studying abroad in Yun Country, aning he surely had both.
Li Xiaoyao blinked, disbelief on his face. Was Lan Cai really planning to send him off to Yun Country to escape trouble?
This woman, she was actually planning on protecting him.
Truth be told, Li Xiaoyao and she shared nothing close to kinship, having t just a handful of tis. She had no obligation to do any of this for him.
Yet, she had done so, and this touched Li Xiaoyao's heart a little.
She was a woman with a cold exterior but a warm heart.
"Thank you, Director Lan, but you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll handle it." Li Xiaoyao said.
Lan Cai ant well, no doubt, but Li Xiaoyao had no intention of running off to Yun Country, not now at least. Besides, he didn't consider the Long Family to be such a great threat.
Lan Cai felt sowhat angry, thinking Li Xiaoyao was being incredibly arrogant. Who did he think he was? He was just an ordinary person, while the Long Family had considerable influence in this city. Yet, he believed he could solve the issue himself.
"Suit yourself. I just didn't want to see you beaten to a cripple by the Long Family, that's all. Now, if there's nothing else, you may leave." If Li Xiaoyao could not recognize her goodwill, Lan Cai certainly wasn't going to chase after him with more.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Director Lan, I had the HR departnt release a recruitnt ad. I've done so research and found that our company's security departnt is understaffed."
Lan Cai replied with her usual calm, "As the Head of Security, you're free to make those decisions on your own."
Knowing that she must be upset with him for not agreeing to go to Yun Country, Li Xiaoyao didn't linger any longer and stood up to leave.
As soon as he returned to the office, Zhang ng entered and said, "Xiaoyao Brother, soone is coming for a job interview later."
Li Xiaoyao was sowhat surprised and asked, "So soon?"
"Yeah," Zhang ng nodded and said, "Our company offers so of the best security packages in Ling City, and a lot of people are just waiting for us to post job ads."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Okay, when they co later, just send them straight to my office."
Zhang ng acknowledged and then left.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door; it was still Zhang ng.
Zhang ng was holding a resu in her hand, which she placed on the table and said, "The person is outside, shall I let him in now?"
"Yeah, let him in," Li Xiaoyao picked up the resu to have a look, and didn't think much of it until he took a glance and was imdiately captivated.
The man who ca for the interview today was Zhao Ge, 28 years old. On the resu, only five words were written under one section: "Retired Special Forces."
Those who could enter the Special Forces were undoubtedly tough individuals, and now a retired Special Forces soldier was coming to his doorstep looking for a job?
Li Xiaoyao in fact liked the idea of forr soldiers working as security; first, the job nature was a good match, and second, soldiers were generally more disciplined. But, at the sa ti, it was usually hard for regular people to manage forr soldiers.
The knock sounded again, and a man about one ter eighty in height entered. The man was well-built, wearing tactical pants and a camouflage tank top, with hair standing up like steel pins, exuding a strong military temperant from head to toe.
The man walked with a steady pace, and after coming over, he said expressionlessly, "Hello, President Li, my na is Zhao Ge."
Li Xiaoyao nodded inwardly; this Zhao Ge was no ordinary person. It seed that the title of retired Special Forces on his resu was not written carelessly.
"Sit."
Facing each other, Li Xiaoyao asked, "As far as I know, it's quite rare for Special Forces to retire."
Zhao Ge nodded, speaking concisely, "I killed soone in the army."
Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows raised slightly, killed soone? Interesting.
"For what reason?"
"During a drill, my younger brother was killed by him," Zhao Ge said in his usual indifferent tone and expressionless face, but a flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes as he spoke these words.
Li Xiaoyao did not ask further. He put down the resu and said, "Congratulations, you're hired."
Zhao Ge was sowhat taken aback and surprised. He didn't understand; Li Xiaoyao had only asked him two questions since he entered, and despite knowing that he had killed soone, he was still hired. This truly baffled Zhao Ge.
Zhao Ge looked at Li Xiaoyao with a complex gaze and asked, "Why are you hiring ?"
Li Xiaoyao knew that this was Zhao Ge's occupational military vigilance kicking in – when sothing happened that he couldn't control or foresee, he beca wary.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Because you're a soldier, because you're Special Forces, and because the company is in need of a strong security manager."
"But I've killed soone," Zhao Ge looked directly at Li Xiaoyao.
"You also said that there was a reason you killed, and you didn't go to prison afterward, just retired, which ans you killed under permissible rules. Am I right?" Li Xiaoyao said, smiling as he made eye contact.
Zhao Ge took a deep breath. Li Xiaoyao was right; indeed, he killed that animal within the allowed rules.
Every place has its rules, but as long as there are rules, there are loopholes. Zhao Ge had found a loophole in the military, taking the opportunity during a mission to kill through another's hand!
