"Bastard, who do you think you are? You have no strength but a big temper. You truly have no self-awareness!"
Liu Bingxue snapped back to reality, surprised that she had been intimidated by Chu Lingtian's aura.
This made her, a dignified and beautiful CEO, feel an unprecedented sense of frustration, and she couldn't help but fly into a rage.
Chu Lingtian walked out of Liu Bingxue's CEO office. Qin Li, the beautiful secretary, immediately crossed her arms in front of her large chest and stepped out to block his path.
"Chu Lingtian, I want you to apologize to me right now!"
Qin Li glared at Chu Lingtian with her beautiful eyes and said resentfully.
Chu Lingtian grinned and asked, "Apologize for what?"
"You groped my chest last time. You were acting like a pervert. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Qin Li asked, her face flushed with a mixture of shyness and anger, looking quite cute.
"Last time, you refused to let me in to see President Liu. Just as I reached for the doorknob to open the door, your own chest bumped into my hand. To be precise, your chest touched my hand. I didn't ask you for a massage fee, and you still want me to apologize? Does that make any sense?"
Chu Lingtian rolled his eyes at Qin Li and said.
Qin Li trembled with anger, her large chest heaving, and threatened, "Bastard, I'm warning you, if you dare not apologize to me, you will regret it!"
"We'll see about that then," Chu Lingtian smiled indifferently, then glanced at Qin Li's slender, straight legs and said, "Those black lace stockings look nice today. I like seeing them. You can wear them more often."
The life of a soldier is very monotonous, especially for men. They gradually develop the habit of teasing beautiful women when they see them. This kind of rogue demeanor is common among almost all soldiers. The stronger the soldier, the stronger their rogue nature. Chu Lingtian is such a rogue soldier king.
"You pervert, you..."
Qin Li was so angry that she grabbed a water cup from the desk and wanted to smash it at Chu Lingtian, but in the blink of an eye, the guy had already walked far away.
"Chu, you just wait and see!"
Qin Li put down the water cup, vowing in her heart, unable to contain her fury, that she must teach Chu Lingtian a lesson, otherwise, as the company's second-in-command secretary, she would lose face.
As it was nearing the end of work for lunch break, Guo Xiaoyan sent Chu Lingtian another WeChat message: "Brother Chu, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria entrance."
Upon receiving Guo Xiaoyan's WeChat message, Chu Lingtian asked Wang Dagang who should go eat first, as someone always had to be on duty at the underground parking lot gate.
Wang Dagang told Chu Lingtian to go first and that he would come back to relieve him later.
When Chu Lingtian arrived at the cafeteria entrance, he saw Guo Xiaoyan still holding two lunchboxes.
They entered the cafeteria together and found an empty seat by the window.
"Wow, Xiaoyan, if you keep feeding me delicious food like this every day, I'm afraid I'll get fat soon," Chu Lingtian teased with a smile.
Guo Xiaoyan smiled happily, quickly opened the lids of the two lunchboxes, and said, "Brother Chu, try my braised beef with potatoes today and see if it's good."
"This braised beef with potatoes looks like the work of a five-star chef. It must be delicious, so delicious food must be shared. Let's eat together."
Chu Lingtian still divided the food equally, half for himself and half for Guo Xiaoyan.
"Mhm, mhm."
Guo Xiaoyan was very touched. Chu Lingtian was the person who treated her the best, aside from her parents.
"By the way, have Zhang Tao and your superior Peng Xia troubled you again recently?"
Chu Lingtian picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and asked Guo Xiaoyan while chewing.
"No, our sales department has been very busy lately. I heard President Liu wants to expand new businesses, so she wants us in the sales department to increase our performance. The money earned by the sales department will be heavily invested in the development of new projects. Tonight, everyone in our team has to go out to entertain leaders from other companies."
Guo Xiaoyan replied.
"Alright, drink less alcohol."
Chu Lingtian reminded her.
Employees in any company's sales department inevitably have to attend banquets and social gatherings.
If you want to secure orders and make money, you must gain recognition and liking from the other party. Hosting dinners and drinking is a very common affair.
Some companies even have dedicated public relations departments, staffed entirely by handsome men and beautiful women. Some of them, in order to secure orders, will indulge clients in eating, drinking, gambling, and entertainment, accompanying them for meals, drinks, and even sexual favors, which is all commonplace.
This is because if the client enjoys eating, drinking, and gambling, then you have to engage in those activities to cater to their tastes, so they will recognize and like you and agree to sign contracts with you. Otherwise, if you don't make the other party happy, why would they let you make money?
"Mhm, I don't drink alcohol. I'll drink juice then," Guo Xiaoyan nodded.
After finishing lunch with Guo Xiaoyan, Chu Lingtian returned to the underground parking lot to relieve Wang Dagang, telling him to go to the cafeteria to eat.
In the afternoon, Chu Lingtian played games in the security booth for the entire afternoon. When it was time to get off work, he went to the car early to wait for Liu Bingxue.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Liu Bingxue finally appeared with her laptop bag.
"I heard..."
"I heard..."
As soon as Liu Bingxue sat in the back seat of the car, Chu Lingtian and she spoke in unison.
Such a coincidental synchronicity made both of them freeze for a moment.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "You go first."
"You go first," Liu Bingxue frowned slightly and said coldly.
"I heard you're planning to expand new projects?" Chu Lingtian asked.
"Yes," Liu Bingxue replied, then asked back, "What do you mean by asking this?"
"I think, considering that the company's current various businesses haven't reached their peak, it's not suitable to expand and develop new projects. If the new project fails, it will drag down the already profitable projects, and the company will be at risk of bankruptcy," Chu Lingtian said.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bingxue scoffed at Chu Lingtian's words and replied with disdain, "What do you know? Do you understand my company? If you truly had business acumen, you wouldn't have applied to be a security guard."
"Fine, I'll just keep quiet then." Chu Lingtian shook his head with a smile, knowing that the high and mighty CEO Liu Bingxue would never listen to the words of a mere low-level security guard like him, so he couldn't be bothered to argue further.
Seeing Chu Lingtian speechless after her retort, Liu Bingxue felt smug and sarcastically questioned, "I heard you were playing mobile games in the security booth all day today. Didn't you say you were very busy recently and had some personal matters to attend to? Is this what you call being busy?"
"I have my own arrangements and plans," Chu Lingtian said.
The secret mission entrusted by his superior and the investigation into the destruction of his family were always in Chu Lingtian's mind. He pondered over them every day and was anxious, but these were not things that could be accomplished in a few days. If he wasn't calm and couldn't control his impulses, he would be more likely to mess up both matters.
True strong individuals, true wise men, those who can accomplish great things, must be mature and steady, capable of hiding their talents and waiting for the right moment. They don't act unless necessary, but when they do, they will surely amaze the world!
Moreover, Chu Lingtian already had his own arrangements and plans in his heart, which he would soon begin to implement.
"Hmph, your own arrangements and plans? Just keep making excuses for your laziness and lack of ambition." Liu Bingxue snorted coldly, clearly not believing Chu Lingtian's words.
"That's not right, how did you know what I was doing in the security booth today? Did you send someone to monitor me?" Chu Lingtian suddenly paused, then turned to look at Liu Bingxue in the back seat of the car and asked.
