Ling Chen froze, before slowly turning his head to stare at Zhong Wei, who was just entering the gym. He hurriedly rushed to explain, “Captain Zhong, I…”
“Save your excuses. The punishment will be docked directly from your pay.”
Hearing this, the other members of the squad all revealed a strange expression on their faces and looked curiously at Zhong Wei. There wasn’t such a rule in the past though?
Zhong Wei noticed the gaze of the people around him and knew what they were thinking, but he had no way of explaining himself. Just now, when he called the director for the details of their latest assignment, he had casually mentioned Ling Chen, but the President had given him a complicated order.
As their employer, although he felt there was something weird about the order, he dared not to disobey his boss’s commands and could only carry them out dutifully.
Ling Chen’s heart was screaming with grievances. No one had told him that he could not play with his phone while on the job. But then again, a thousand dollar fine wasn’t too much.
“Ling Chen, your job has been arranged. Follow me.”
Ling Chen could only shrug helplessly. Screw it. I’ll just take the thousand dollars fine as a lesson. I’ll take note in the future!
The two rode the elevator down to the basement. Zhong Wei pointed to a Rolls Royce as well as two Land Rover and said, “Clean up these three cars before lunchtime. In the afternoon, I have other assignments for you.”
“Captain Zhong, there are specialised car washing services outside. I’m here to be a bodyguard, not a car washer.”
“Where can you find a car washer that’s paid thirteen thousand dollars? Ling Chen, don’t forget my words. When working under me, there’s only one thing you need to do and that’s to follow my orders. Are you disobeying me right now?”
“I… am.”
Zhong Wei’s face instantly frosted over.
“No, Captain Zhong! You misunderstood me, what I meant to say was that I would listen to your order.”
“There’s still two hours before lunch. You best manage your time well. If I find out that you did not accomplish your task in the stipulated time, I’ll dock another thousand dollars from your pay.”
Watching as Zhong Wei walked away, Ling Chen could not help cussing out loudly.
This mother fucking bastard, how can you just dock thousands of dollars like that? There are so many people on the squad, why did you only ask me to wash the cars?
Suddenly, a thought popped into his head, and he glumly wondered, it can’t be that witch Su Lin taking the opportunity to deal with me, right?
“Achoo!”
Su Lin, who was almost dozing off on the sofa, suddenly sneezed loudly. Rubbing her nose, she turned her head to look at Nanrong Wanqing, who was diligently working at the desk and stood up. “Wanqing, did you manage to deal with that bastard?”
“I already spoke with Zhong Wei. He should know what to do.”
Wanqing curtly replied to her, without even lifting her head.
“What are you busy with?”
“In the next few days, the revitalisation project in the old city district is about to commence. There are still some procedures I need to settle.”
“Then do you need to head down to the site?”
“This time, the government is the one helming the project. When the time comes, there will be a signing ceremony at the site itself. Although it’s only to walk over the grounds, as a key sponsor, I must be there in person.”
“Then remember not to overwork yourself. You must rest more often, if there’s too much work, then share your workload with Nanrong Hao. At the very least, he’s the eldest son of the Nanrong Family.”
Nanrong Wanqing shook her head dispiritedly. When mentioning Nanrong Hao, her eyes would reveal disappointment. She wanted to nurture her brother to be her successor, but he was simply too playful and had never taken company affairs seriously at all. Asking him to come to the company would not only fail to lighten her workload but may even cause her more headaches instead.
At that time, the person in question was leisurely driving his car into Hongyu Multinational’s underground parking lot.
After disembarking from the car, he saw that there was a man currently squeezing into a Land Rover and busily washing it. He could not help calling out, “Yo, the car washer over there, can you help me wash my car too?”
“Who are you calling a car washer?” Ling Chen unhappily grumbled as he stuck his head out of the car.
“Bro Chen?”
Nanrong Hao froze for a moment before an ecstatic smile spread across his face.
“Bro Chen, what are you doing here? Hmm? Isn’t that our company’s bodyguard uniform? Bro Chen, when were you hired as a bodyguard of our company?”
“Why are you asking so many questions?”
