Chapter 92 I've Put Up with You for a Long Time
The commotion over here immediately caught the attention of the passers-by, and since today was a special day with more people coming and going, soon about a dozen onlookers had gathered.
Being watched by everyone, Tang Jian suddenly felt he was losing face, especially since the person showing off in front of him was just a damn security guard.
"Motherfucker, are you sick?" Tang Jian snorted coldly, a stinky security guard, he didn't take him seriously at all.
Qian Dayong was rather stubborn, he chuckled, "Do you have medicine?"
Tang Jian was taken aback, then a vein of anger rose on his forehead, "Damn it, he's actually arguing with me!"
The onlookers couldn't help but laugh, even Lu Xiaomei and Zhao Xinxin almost couldn't hold back and had to bow their heads to suppress their laughter.
"I don't know where a security guard like you gets the courage to provoke me, I'll give you a chance to apologize, or you'll regret it!" Tang Jian said coldly, his face ashen.
By now, there were even more onlookers, as a few dozen people had quickly gathered around.
"I advise you not to embarrass yourself, considering you're an employee of the company, I'm only giving you one warning, don't do it again, leave now!" Qian Dayong was unmoved, issuing another warning.
"Who is this security guard? How bold is he? This is the first time I've seen this, who's the one being scolded?" some onlookers whispered to each other.
"Not sure, probably on the same level as this security guard, otherwise how would he dare to bother him?" another person mused aloud.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Tang Jian's face turned crimson with embarrassment, he was an official, not too big or too small, about to be promoted to a mid-level leadership position at the group headquarters. How would he hold his head up at the company in the future if he lost face today?
"Kid, just a reminder, I'm here today to report as the deputy director of the operations department, believe it or not, I can have you fired with one word!" Tang Jian said gravely, seeming to have found the confidence to handle the other party.
He had already decided, no matter whether this idiot apologized or not, he would find a way to get rid of him afterwards.
"Oh my God, he was actually here for the promotion nomination at the kickoff meeting, the security guard is in trouble, he's hit the iron plate now!" someone murmured quietly.
"What are these two arguing about? They're not from the same department, that shouldn't be right!" someone else wondered.
"Seems like it's over a girl at the front desk, some jealousy issue, I saw it just now!" another person chimed in.
"Oh, I see, this security guard is pretty gutsy, daring to hit on the girl at the front desk with his status, commendable courage!" came a voice from the side.
Qian Dayong ignored the whispering around him, glanced at Tang Jian, "Don't say you're a deputy director, even if your manager breaks the law knowing it, I'd deal with him just the same!"
"Hiss~"
As soon as Qian Dayong said this, a sharp intake of breath could be heard from the crowd.
"Fuck, that's some big talk, seems he's not a simple security guard, probably has a terrifyingly powerful backing, we've been mistaken, so mistaken!" The onlookers instantly murmured among themselves.
At this point, quite a few people had covertly noted Qian Dayong's appearance, planning to inquire after him later. If he truly had a powerful background, they would need to be more careful in the future.
Hearing this, Tang Jian's breathing hitched, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Qian Dayong. Could it be that he had misjudged the situation?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had already revealed his status, yet this guy was not the least bit wary, but blatantly arrogant - either he was out of his mind, or he truly had no fear with a terrifying background.
Moreover, this was the headquarters, he was new here, and had no idea how deep the waters were. It seemed he had been reckless, and now he had humiliated himself immensely!
His face flushed with embarrassment, he gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry, I've just arrived and am not familiar with the rules of the group, my apologies!"
Just then, a person squeezed out of the crowd.
Suddenly, seeing Tang Jian, Ling Fan said sternly, "Xiao Tang, what's going on, apologizing to whom? Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile when you came here? This is headquarters, not a branch office!"
Turning his head, Tang Jian was surprised to find his promoting supervisor Zhuang Kai; cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead as he hurriedly explained, "Director Zhuang, it wasn't intentional. I've just joined the company and wanted to build a good relationship with colleagues, so I invited the front desk staff for a dinner after work.
I had no idea there was a rule against treating others to meals. I've already apologized to this security brother!"
"Hmm?" Zhuang Kai looked puzzled.
He immediately turned to Qian Dayong and said, "Inviting a colleague to dinner should be no big deal, right? Does headquarters really have such a rule?"
However, when he got a clear view of the security guard beside him, his eyes widened in recognition, "Qian Dayong?"
Qian Dayong, having recognized the voice, replied indifferently, "Ah, my brother-in-law is here too?"
Tang Jian was instantly bewildered, "Damn, did I just offend my supervisor's relative?"
The onlookers were also taken aback, guessing that Qian Dayong might be Zhuang Kai's brother-in-law and understanding why this guy dared to say that even if their manager broke the law, he would still have the courage to discipline him!
Isn't that the case? It's probable that Zhuang Kai's wife had placed her own brother in the company as a spy. A casual report from Qian Dayong could probably give Zhuang Kai quite a headache.
Regaining his senses, Zhuang Yong said with disbelief, staring at Qian Dayong, "Are you the security guard here?"
"What about it, is there a problem?" Qian Dayong responded with his typical indifference.
His wife had an older sister named Ruan Na, and Zhuang Kai was Ruan Na's husband, rumored to be a department manager at a large corporation. He hadn't expected him to have a connection with Tian Yun now.
His mother-in-law usually didn't think much of him, considering him useless, simply because he was a security guard, always comparing him with Zhuang Kai. Zhuang Kai and his wife often ridiculed him for being a loser.
Now facing Zhuang Kai, he wouldn't show any pleasant expression!
"Heh heh!" Zhuang Kai scoffed coldly. Experience tales at empire
"You're pretty arrogant for a security guard. I just heard from Ruan Fei that you joined a big company as a security guard, but you're carrying quite the air about you, aren't you? Even a leader inviting employees for a meal needs your approval?"
"Inviting for a meal? I think it's more like having ulterior motives. Besides, does the person even want to go?" Qian Dayong sneered back. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to talk back to Zhuang Kai like this.
But things were different now. On his own territory, with Ling Fan's instructions still ringing in his ears, why would he fear Zhuang Kai? Fed up with being treated like a pushover, he thought, why should I tolerate your nonsense today?
Zhuang Kai was inwardly shocked; this worthless man today actually had the nerve to talk back to him. Dammit, he's become a security guard at the group and now he's lost his way.
"Fuck, do you think you've become all high and mighty now that you're a security guard here, acting as if you're some kind of national security agent? Haven't said you're fat, and already you're panting?" Zhuang Kai mocked with a sneer.
The watching crowd was immediately exchanging glances, wondering what was going on. The tension between the two seemed much thicker than anyone had anticipated.
"Apologize to Tang Jian, and I can forgive your ignorance. Let me tell you, Qian Dayong, with your loser status, you are bound to live the life of a lousy security guard forever. Do you really think you are someone important? Believe it or not, with just one word from me, I could have you kicked out right away?" Zhuang Kai shouted coldly, pointing at Qian Dayong and cursing.
Lu Xiaomei and Zhao Xinxin were a little nervous at this point. They worried that Qian Dayong might be fired from the company for helping them. However, considering the mysterious Deputy Director Ling Fan, they felt somewhat relieved.
Facing Zhuang Kai's cold shout, Qian Dayong's face tensed. He straightened his security uniform and responded deliberately, "Don't think just because you're a company department manager, you can yell at me. I've put up with you for a long time!
No one is above the rules of headquarters. If you're not part of the company, fine, but if you belong to Tian Yun, no matter your position, you have to follow the rules strictly!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around was dumbfounded, and Zhuang Kai's eyes bulged as if he were looking at a fool!
