"Chu Lingtian, you clock in and out precisely, but you still dare to play mobile games in the security booth during work hours? Do you know how detrimental this would be if other employees or external clients saw it? You scoundrel! I really want to beat you up!"
Liu Bingxue was furious, her delicate body trembling with anger at Chu Lingtian. Her ample chest heaved with agitation.
Chu Lingtian chuckled inwardly. This Liu Bingxue was truly a workaholic. Despite all his blabber, the ice queen only remembered his playing mobile games during work. It seemed that for now, she wouldn't suspect his true identity due to his overwhelming combat power.
"Calm down. You can't beat me anyway, so don't waste your energy," Chu Lingtian said, observing Liu Bingxue's eagerness to make a move.
Liu Bingxue retorted angrily, "Are you really that capable? What's the use of your fighting skills? In this era, to succeed and make a name for yourself, you need strength, wisdom, and connections. Otherwise, you're just a brute who knows kung fu!"
Chu Lingtian didn't respond. He didn't want to expose his true identity easily. So, let Liu Bingxue believe he was a former soldier, skilled in combat, but a brute who only resorted to violence, lacking true strength or powerful backing. It was better this way.
And indeed, that's precisely what Liu Bingxue thought. She believed that although Chu Lingtian was skilled due to his years in the military, his lack of ambition, his lazy demeanor, and his overall attitude meant he would never amount to much.
However, Liu Bingxue was unaware that Chu Lingtian's capabilities extended far beyond mere combat prowess; his battle power was world-shattering.
He didn't have much money not because he was poor, but because someone who had faced countless life-or-death situations truly didn't place much importance on material possessions. But if he wished, he could access hundreds of billions at any moment.
As for strength and background, Chu Lingtian was the commander of China's, of Dragon Country's, strongest "Wolf Warriors" unit, a legendary man known as the "Death God Wolf King." With a single command, the nation's elite super-soldiers would swarm to his aid.
Chu Lingtian's clandestine return to the city this time was not only to execute a top-secret mission but, more importantly, to investigate the truth behind his family's annihilation.
When a dragon enters the sea, and a tiger returns to the mountain, the sky will surely be stained with blood!
When the taxi was still a kilometer away from the company, Liu Bingxue instructed the driver to stop.
After they alighted, Liu Bingxue looked at Chu Lingtian and said, "I'll go back to the company first. You wait here for five minutes before returning. We can't let the company staff see us arriving together."
Chu Lingtian smiled faintly, took out a cigarette, and lit it. His personality was adaptable, and he wasn't one to quibble over small matters. However, his principle was: if others don't offend me, I won't offend them; if they offend me, I will certainly retaliate. Anyone who foolishly dared to provoke him would inevitably pay a heavy price!
After finishing his cigarette, Chu Lingtian walked towards the company's underground parking lot.
At this time, Liu Bingxue had already returned to her CEO's office. Following close behind her was Wang Kai, the head of the security department.
"Ms. Liu, this is the dismissal report for your approval. The Human Resources Department has also agreed after deliberation. Minister Yang Wei has already signed it."
Wang Kai handed a dismissal request form to Liu Bingxue.
Liu Bingxue picked up the form and read the name of the person to be dismissed: Chu Lingtian.
"You want to dismiss Chu Lingtian?" Liu Bingxue asked Wang Kai nonchalantly.
"Yes, Ms. Liu. Since Chu Lingtian started working here, he has assaulted people publicly twice, causing an extremely negative impact. Furthermore, he abandoned his post during work hours to collect debts with Guo Xiaoyan, and he has repeatedly played mobile games while on duty. He has already crossed the line of company regulations and must be dismissed!" Wang Kai nodded, his demeanor righteous.
Wang Kai's visit to Liu Bingxue for her signature to dismiss Chu Lingtian was actually a scheme concocted with Yang Wei, the head of Human Resources. Yang Wei, being Zhang Tao's cousin, constantly sought to deal with Chu Lingtian and avenge Zhang Tao. Wang Kai, on the other hand, had not only received benefits from Zhang Tao and Yang Wei but also personally disliked Chu Lingtian's insubordinate attitude.
"Chu Lingtian cannot be dismissed. From now on, he will be my dedicated driver and bodyguard." After a moment's thought, Liu Bingxue said to Wang Kai.
Wang Kai was stunned. He hadn't expected Liu Bingxue not only to disagree with the dismissal but also to appoint Chu Lingtian as her personal driver and bodyguard.
"Ms. Liu, I... I don't quite understand. Are you...?" Wang Kai probed cautiously.
Liu Bingxue explained, "Chu Lingtian can be a bit of a slacker, but he's not inherently malicious. And the company is currently in need of personnel, so let's avoid any personnel changes for now."
"Alright, Ms. Liu, you're right." Wang Kai frowned, knowing Liu Bingxue was giving him a polite brush-off. However, he didn't dare to challenge the cold and commanding female CEO and immediately changed his tune.
Soon, Chu Lingtian, who had returned to the security booth in the underground parking lot, received notification. He had replaced Wang Dagang as Liu Bingxue's dedicated driver and personal bodyguard.
"Brother Chu, Ms. Liu has really taken a liking to you! You've only driven her once, and she's replaced me." Wang Dagang said dejectedly, his face a mask of misery.
Chu Lingtian was also surprised that Liu Bingxue had appointed him as her dedicated driver and bodyguard without consulting him, replacing Wang Dagang. However, it was understandable. Compared to Wang Dagang, he had much more familiarity with Liu Bingxue. Moreover, having witnessed his exceptional combat skills, Liu Bingxue's decision to have him replace Wang Dagang for her safety was logical.
Chu Lingtian patted Wang Dagang's shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, the extra salary will still be yours."
"Brother Chu, that won't do. I absolutely cannot accept this money." Wang Dagang hastily refused.
"Gangzi, your mother is critically ill and needs money for treatment. I'm single and don't spend much daily. Consider this money a loan from me, and you can repay me when you can. If you refuse again, then we're no longer friends." Chu Lingtian said, looking at Wang Dagang with a serious expression.
Wang Dagang was touched. "Then... then alright, Brother Chu, thank you."
"By the way, when can you take me to see your mother? I have some medical knowledge." Chu Lingtian mused. Wang Dagang, despite being gossipy and lecherous, had a decent character. If he could help cure his mother's illness, he should do so.
"My mother is in the ICU now and needs sterile isolation. Even I can only see her through the glass window. When she gets better and is transferred to a regular ward, I'll take you to see her." Wang Dagang became visibly sad when his mother's condition was mentioned.
"Alright, don't worry too much. Everything will get better." Chu Lingtian nodded.
Ding!
Just then, Chu Lingtian's phone rang. He took it out and saw a text message from Liu Huohuo, the little vixen: "Brother-in-law, dare to battle me for three hundred rounds tonight?"
