Urban Ace Bodyguard

Lin Hai walked in leisurely, picked up the steaming cup of tea on the desk, took a gentle sip, and nodded slightly, "Not bad, good tea."

Ouyang Xiaoya, who was signing documents, looked up with a slight frown. When she saw Lin Hai standing in front of her, as well as that smiling face, President Ouyang's complexion immediately turned an ashen color.

"You beast, how dare you..." Before she could finish, Ouyang Xiaoya saw Wang Dajun and Fan Jian also walk in, and the words she was about to say were forcibly swallowed back.

This beast almost made her embarrass herself again. Ouyang Xiaoya attributed all her dissatisfaction to Lin Hai in her heart.

With a slight frown, Ouyang Xiaoya asked Wang Dajun, "Captain Wang, what's going on?"

Wang Dajun's face was solemn, standing still like a straight weapon, he reported in a military tone, "Reporting to the President, just now during the inspection work, it was found that Lin Hai and Fan Jian, two colleagues from the security department, were slacking off during working hours and were insubordinate."

"Oh? Continue," said Ouyang Xiaoya, glancing at Lin Hai who was still obliviously sipping his tea, and speaking to Captain Wang.

Captain Wang saw Lin Hai daring to touch the President's teacup, not knowing that the thing President Ouyang hated most was any man touching her belongings, especially personal items like cups.

In Captain Wang's eyes, Lin Hai's action was tantamount to seeking death.

"President, I think slacking off during work hours might be a minor issue, and it even happens frequently in many large companies, but the security department shoulders the important responsibility of protecting company assets, which is of the utmost importance. There must be no carelessness, and those who slack off and make excuses should be dismissed," Wang Dajun said, then clasped his hands in front of him, respectfully bowed his head slightly, and stood to the side.

Ouyang Xiaoya, after listening to Captain Wang, scanned over Lin Hai, who was still leisurely squinting his eyes and sipping tea, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Her gaze then swept over to Fan Jian.

Feeling the unique aura and sharp gaze of President Ouyang, beads of sweat began to form on Fan Jian's forehead, and he didn't dare to look directly at the beautiful CEO.

The atmosphere in the office felt as if frozen in an instant.

Of course, that was with the exception of Lin Hai, who was still obliviously drinking his tea.

"This is over, I'm definitely done for this time," Fan Jian muttered while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely anxious.

Wang Dajun watched this scene, sneering in his heart, "Lin Hai, I want to see how long you can keep up this arrogance."

After a long while, the entire office was dead silent, with only the occasional gulping sound made by Lin Hai as he drank his tea.

Finally, Ouyang Xiaoya, with an authoritative aura, slowly said, "This matter needs to be dealt with severely!"

Captain Wang instantly felt relieved. With the CEO speaking out, Lin Hai wouldn't be able to escape this time.

Fan Jian felt incredibly unlucky today, almost having been crippled by a girl's high heel earlier, and now feeling a painful and tense sensation again, possibly getting fired at any moment. To report errors, please visit the original post on M|VLEMPYR.

"Cough cough, Dabang..." Lin Hai coughed just in time.

"Dabang?! What do you mean?" Everyone present was full of confusion.

"Lin Hai, what nonsense are you spouting?" Captain Wang demanded.

Ouyang Xiaoya froze for a moment, then recalling the incident from yesterday, her pretty face blushed, and the commanding presence she had gathered instantly dissipated.

Of course, as outsiders, Captain Wang and Fan Jian did not pick up on these subtle details.

Immediately after, Ouyang Xiaoya saw Lin Hai with a smug smile, looking meaningfully in this direction.

Clearing her throat, Ouyang Xiao quickly changed the subject from Wang Dajun and asked, "Lin Hai, slacking off during work hours and leading other colleagues astray, do you have anything else to say?"

Lin Hai put down his teacup, which by now was almost empty except for his saliva inside.

Seeing her beloved cup desecrated by this beast, if it weren't because they were at the company and she needed to maintain composure, she would have long wanted to give Lin Hai a good beating.

"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Lin Hai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Fan Jian watched, dumbfounded, and wailed in his heart: "Big brother, you wouldn't die if you don't court death, drinking the CEO's tea and daring to smoke in front of the CEO, aren't you a bit too arrogant?"

Wang Dajun also frowned; he knew all too well that the CEO really hated the smell of cigarettes.

"Lin Hai, put out the cigarette." An opportunity like this to show off in front of the CEO, Captain Wang wouldn't miss it.

"Oh? Captain Wang, don't be so serious, come on, have a cigarette," Lin Hai said with a smile.

Wang Dajun refused with disgust: "I don't smoke, smoking reduces lung capacity, affects physical strength, and also looks bad. As security staff on the frontline of the company, we must always maintain ample physical strength and a clean image, I advise you to put out the cigarette immediately."

After saying these words, Wang Dajun also sneaked a glance at Ouyang Xiaoya, wanting to see the CEO's reaction.

However, Ouyang Xiaoya just frowned with a look of disgust but did not order Lin Hai to stop smoking.

"Lin Hai, if you don't speak up, you're admitting to slacking off in a group during work hours. According to company rules, you should be dismissed," Ouyang Xiaoya said with furrowed brows.

Lin Hai blew out a ring of smoke and said, "President Ouyang, I've been wronged. I was conscientiously working, and yet I've been falsely accused by the powerful Captain Wang, sigh."

"You're talking nonsense; I clearly saw you and Fan Jian chatting in the office!" Wang Dajun rebuked angrily.

"Who told you that talking in the office is slacking off? Captain Wang!" Lin Hai rolled his eyes at him.

"We're security guards; our duty is to patrol and protect the company's property. If sitting in the office and chatting isn't slacking off, then what is?" Wang Dajun said.

"What a joke," Lin Hai mocked with a laugh, then said again, "It's easy to find a stick to beat a dog when you want to accuse someone. If you want to give me a hard time, could you just say it, without causing a fuss in front of the CEO?"

"You!! Lin Hai, don't slander people. There's surveillance video in the security room downstairs, ready to be used as evidence!" Wang Dajun retorted.

"Is there audio recording?" Lin Hai followed up.

"Uh... there's no audio at the moment, which is quite normal," Wang Dajun replied truthfully. Surveillance video is now widespread, even small shops have it, but recording devices are rarely used. He thought Lin Hai's question was stupid and his own reply very normal, which is common knowledge to everyone.

"In that case, I'll just come clean," Lin Hai paused, then continued, "In fact, just now, Fan Jian and I were not slacking off, whereas Captain Wang has shown partiality, jumping to conclusions without thorough investigation, and has decided on mine and colleague Fan Jian's career based on personal subjective judgment, which I think is irresponsible."

"You're still trying to argue your way out of this?!" Wang Dajun said, seething with anger.

"Argue? Do I need to argue? Captain Wang, do you know what I was just discussing with Fan Jian?" Lin Hai snorted coldly.

"What could you possibly be discussing? Fan Jian's peculiar hobby, it's probably a common interest among you guys who have no ambition, right?" Wang Dajun scoffed, referring to Fan Jian's love for action movies.

"Your mind is truly wicked," Lin Hai mocked Captain Wang, then shed his frivolous demeanor and adopted a grave and serious expression, saying, "Actually, the matter is like this..."
