Chapter 21 First Arrival at the Security Department
Upon hearing these words, Lin Ruoxue's face turned cold, she hadn't expected that although the man had improved in other aspects, he had developed a lecherous problem.
In fact, he didn't know that this was actually Su Chen's original personality: carefree and unrestrained. It was just because of that incident a year ago that he seemed to have become a different person.
Nowadays, because he had made progress in his cultivation, his mood had recovered, and naturally, he had returned to his former self.
However, when it came to being lecherous, Lin Ruoxue remembered the incident yesterday when he had stealthily stolen a kiss, something no man had ever dared to do to her before.
Therefore, Lin Ruoxue's expression became even colder, but she still took a deep breath and huffed,
"We should exchange phone numbers."
"Why?"
Su Chen lifted his head, his face full of confusion, wondering why the Ice Beauty suddenly wanted his number. Could it be that she wanted to... with me?
"Don't overthink it, it's just for convenience in case there's something special to contact about in the future."
Lin Ruoxue knew exactly where Su Chen's thoughts were going just by looking at his expression.
"Oh, alright."
After exchanging numbers, the atmosphere between the two turned cold again, without any further conversation.
Watching the two of them, Wang Ma actually felt that compared to before, there was a subtle difference in their relationship, even though they were not aware of it themselves.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue left first, and half an hour later, Su Chen headed to the garage and drove out a BMW 5 Series.
Su Chen parked the car in the parking lot beneath the Belle Group's building and then made his way to the Security Department.
The Driver's Department was a small division under the Security Department, and normally they would wait on duty inside the Security Department, which is why Su Chen came here.
The Belle Group was also a well-known company in Jianghai City, and even their Security Department was spacious, bright, and made for a comfortable working environment for its employees.
"You must be the new guy from the Driver's Department, right? Welcome, welcome!"
A simple-looking middle-aged man greeted Su Chen with enthusiasm as he walked in.
"Hello, my name is Su Chen, it's my first day at work."
Su Chen responded with a smile as well.
"Hehe, good, I am Liu Yuan," introduced the middle-aged man, "Come on, let me introduce you to everyone."
"This is Chen Yong, this is Fan Zhongbo, that robust one is Meng Shan, and that somewhat shy guy over there is Yu Ting..."
The middle-aged man enthusiastically introduced everyone to Su Chen, who nodded and greeted each one in turn, and most of them smiled back and said hello.
"Brothers, I'm new here and hope for your support. When we have time, let's get together; my treat," said Su Chen generously.
No sooner had his words fallen than the people in the Security Department cheered, immediately accepting their new colleague.
However, there was one exception, that being the Driver's Department supervisor, Pang San. Su Chen's warm welcome by everyone was definitely not good news for him.
Although he was just a driver supervisor, he took his modest leadership position very seriously.
This position was obtained through his own sister's relationship, as she was the mistress of the head of the Security Department, Zhang Mingyu.
"Quiet! What's all this noise? Act like professionals, and get back to work!"
At that moment, a stern shout came from the entrance, and a man with a sneaky appearance walked in.
Seeing the man, everyone immediately quieted down, though their eyes were filled with contempt.
"His name is Cao Kun, the deputy head of the Security Department. He's not very capable, but because he's the lackey of the head of Security, Zhang Mingyu, he has secured this position."
Liu Yuan quietly explained to Su Chen, who nodded in understanding.
"Are you the new guy?"
Cao Kun looked at Su Chen, who strutted confidently, and casually nodded in response.
"Come on, follow me to the minister to report for duty."
After saying this, Cao Kun turned around and walked out the door. Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly and followed him out.
When they reached the door of an office, Cao Kun cautiously advised,
"When you meet the minister inside, make sure to be respectful. Whatever the minister says, you listen."
Su Chen, however, didn't pay him any attention and maintained an air of indifference, making Cao Kun mistakenly believe that Su Chen had fully taken in his advice.
After opening the door, Su Chen walked in after Cao Kun, who immediately put on a different face, grinning obsequiously as he bowed and flattered,
"The minister is indeed hardworking, starting the diligent work so early in the morning."
With his naturally sly and rat-like appearance, his smile seemed comical, like a clown performer.
Zhang Mingyu, however, was quite pleased by such flattery and said with a touch of emotion,
"There's no helping it, as the head of the security department, I have to be diligent and responsible. Otherwise, how could I live up to the company?"
"Who is this?" Only then did Zhang Mingyu notice that there was a young stranger standing behind Cao Kun.
"He's the new driver we hired, Su Chen. I've brought him to report to the minister."
"Oh, a new guy?"
Zhang Mingyu walked out from behind the desk to scrutinize Su Chen, his gaze clearly evaluating.
However, after a while, Zhang Mingyu didn't notice anything special about Su Chen, so he sat back down behind his desk.
"When you're in our security department, you must abide by our rules, got it?" Zhang Mingyu spoke indifferently, "In our department, the most important thing is to follow orders. What I dislike the most are people who don't stick to their roles."
Su Chen found the obvious warning and threat in Zhang Mingyu's words somewhat amusing but decided not to say anything, merely nodding to show he understood.
"As a driver, you won't have much to do on regular days. When there's a need for the car, your team leader Pang San will inform you," Zhang Mingyu gave a brief instruction, "After this, you can go to the HR department to take care of the employment formalities."
With that, he signaled for Su Chen to leave, while Cao Kun remained, apparently having some matters to discuss with Zhang Mingyu.
....
In the president's office of Belle Group, Lin Ruoxue stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought for a long time before turning to address Xia Qiuru, who was sitting on the sofa, with seriousness,
"Director Xia, we must find this person at any cost!"
"Okay, I will utilize all resources to locate this individual."
"Hurry up with this task. Such talent is rare. If we're not quick, other companies will surely poach them."
Lin Ruoxue was extremely excited at the moment, for Belle Group was now breaking into international markets, and what they needed most was a talent proficient in various languages!
And that unnamed person was an expert in nearly two hundred languages, calling them a genius would be an understatement, they were practically a monster!
Xia Qiuru also felt the weight of Lin Ruoxue's emphasis on this individual and immediately sensed an immense pressure.
Actually, her heart was also anxious; after all, she knew absolutely nothing about this person, except for the cheeky impression they had left when they departed.
"Let's start searching, if all else fails, I'll have to ask my cousin for help. After all, the police will have a much easier time locating a person than we would."
Sitting in her office chair, Xia Qiuru thought helplessly.
Just then, a series of "knock knock" sounds on the door broke her train of thought.
"Come in!"
As soon as she spoke, the office door opened, and a man walked in.
Upon seeing the man who entered, Xia Qiuru instantly leaped up from her seat...
