38: Chapter 38: Looking down on others with disdain!

Seeing Wu Jie in a daze, Zhao Dong laughed.

“What are you spacing out for?

Protecting the headquarters of the corporation is a significant and glorious responsibility.

This is a great gig!”

Wu Jie chuckled in response.

“I firmly obey the arrangements of my superiors!”

“Off you go!

Do a good job!

It has great prospects!”

Exiting the room, Wu Jie headed to the storeroom to collect his gear.

Wide-brimmed hats, patrol uniforms, combat fatigues, leather boots, belts, batons, walkie-talkies…

After getting equipped, Wu Jie felt as if he had become someone else.

“Who would have thought that, brother, you’d look quite handsome in a security uniform!”

Standing before the mirror, Wu Jie turned from side to side to get a better look.

The Tang Family, a military household through and through, had designed the uniforms for their corporation’s security, which were brimming with military style.

Of course, there were differences in the details, such as the name tag displaying the name and department, and the shoulder insignia bearing the corporation’s logo.

Still, the look was sufficiently imposing and handsome.

The security division of the headquarters was on the first floor.

Right next to the administrative office was the surveillance center, and close by were the equipment room, rest area, gym, and combat room, among others.

Inside the office.

“…That’s pretty much the situation.

Starting today, you’re a member of the third squad, mainly responsible for patrolling and guarding the parking lot and the surroundings of the building!”

“There’s one thing you need to be aware of: President Tang has given a strict order that no one from Tianyuan Wang Real Estate is allowed in, especially Wang Kun.

Whoever disobeys will be kicked out on the spot!”

“After all this, do you understand?

If you have any questions, you can ask your team leader later!”

Section Chief Liu, slightly chubby and somewhat prosperous, smoked his cigarette and looked at Wu Jie with feigned authority.

“Understood.

I’ll put my things away and then go find Captain Guo!”

Wu Jie left the office, went to the equipment room to lock up his personal belongings, and then set out to find the third squad, which was on patrol.

Thanks to the collision with Tang Xiao, Wu Jie had gained some notoriety at the headquarters, and everyone recognized him.

They chatted while patrolling.

It didn’t take long for Wu Jie to fully understand the work content and requirements.

The headquarters building operated with smart technology, so there was no need for constant patrols on every floor, but the surveillance center had to be monitored at all times.

The parking lot and the area around the building, however, required frequent patrols, which was the hard part of the job—walking a circuit amounted to two or three kilometers.

Of course, the old employees got to stay in the surveillance center, drinking tea and chatting, enjoying a relaxed atmosphere.

As for the newcomer Wu Jie, it was a different story.

He had to traverse both the grounds and the parking lot, with fingerprint and facial recognition check-ins at every patrol point, making it impossible to cheat.

After completing a round, he could rest for a few minutes before continuing.

Approaching noon.

The old employees went ahead to get their meals.

After finishing their lunch and wandering around for their post-meal walk, Wu Jie and a few other newcomers finally had the chance to head to the dining hall.

Upon entering the dining hall, Wu Jie immediately sensed something different.

Previously, dining at the same table as President Tang had been an enviable and sought-after event!

Later, the news of his promotion to deputy project manager made countless people beat their chests in envy!

And now…

Wu Jie, donning a security uniform and carrying a lunchbox, came to get his food—what did this mean?

For a moment, quite a few people turned their eyes toward him.

“Integrity!”

Sun Liang shouted loudly and quickly jogged over.

“Oh my God!

You…why are you dressed like that?

Weren’t you supposed to be the deputy project manager?”

Zhang Li passed by, sneering, “Old Sun, you still don’t know?

The group has withdrawn its investment from the Tianyuan Flower Water Bay project.

It’s said it’s because someone had a fallout with Mr.

Wang, which was really embarrassing, so the group pulled out!”

“However, to cause such a big disaster and still not be fired, to continue eating at the group’s table, President Tang is really magnanimous!”

After saying this with a mockingly sarcastic tone, Zhang Li swayed away.

“That damn witch, with a butt as wide as her waist and a mouth as stinky as her feet!”

After cursing in a low voice, Sun Liang patted Wu Jie on the shoulder, “Don’t take it to heart, I don’t think a multi-billion project would be dropped just because you didn’t get along with Wang Kun.

I think it’s him who messed up and was too ashamed to continue cooperating with our group.”

Wu Jie chuckled, “It doesn’t matter, my salary hasn’t decreased, and being a security guard is quite nice.

It’s much easier than dealing with customers and writing proposals.”

“Uh…

as long as you’re happy!” Seeing Cao Bin walking over, Sun Liang immediately patted the shoulder and left.

“Yo!

Isn’t this Manager Wu?”

Cao Bin approached with a smile brimming on his face, intentionally assuming an exaggerated expression, “Huh!

Strange, why are you wearing this security guard uniform?”

“I’m poor!

Got nothing to wear, and being a security guard at the group comes with free clothing, hats, shoes, and socks, how great is that!” Wu Jie laughed heartily.

Cao Bin hummed with a disdainful look on his face.

“To make such a demotion sound so refreshing and unworldly, you’re the first!”

Wu Jie smiled faintly and, without responding, got his meal and then planned to go downstairs.

However, just as he left the dining hall, he happened to run into Xie Wanjun and the other president’s secretaries.

Xie Wanjun was holding two lunch boxes, apparently fetching food for Tang Xiao.

They brushed past each other without a word.

Xie Wanjun even tilted her head up slightly, intentionally assuming a very arrogant demeanor.

Little did she know, Wu Jie didn’t even bother to pay her any attention.

Pretty faces are commonplace; it is a unique soul that is rare.

Beauties like Xie Wanjun, with some looks and a nice figure, are really not too uncommon in today’s society.

So, the occasional glance is fine, but it’s only lustful devils like Cao Bin who would drool over her.

“Strange!

Why didn’t he go back to the marketing department but is wearing a security guard uniform instead?”

“President Tang takes good care of him, even if he was transferred to the security department, he wouldn’t be just a security guard, would he?”

Xie Wanjun was puzzled, and after getting Tang Xiao’s meal, she casually grabbed a bite and hurried upstairs.

The president’s office.

Tang Xiao was busy with a video conference call at noon.

Withdrawing from a multi-billion project all of a sudden, as the president, she naturally needed to give a clear explanation to the board and shareholders.

Fortunately, Wang Kun’s bad reputation had spread far and wide; withdrawing from his project and making a small profit of three billion, no one had much to say.

Moreover, Tang Long, who was usually in Liuli City, got a tip-off that there would be policy changes, so pulling out early to avoid risks was not a problem either.

After the meeting ended, Xie Wanjun immediately delivered the lunch boxes.

Walking in, she hesitated.

That morning in the conference room, Tang Xiao was willing to bang on the table and turn against Wang Kun for Wu Jie’s sake.

Out of a woman’s intuition, Xie Wanjun believed that their relationship was far from ordinary.

Moreover, the day Tang Xiao hit Wu Jie with her car, she went to the control center and destroyed a segment of the surveillance footage.

What exactly happened then?

It must have been something disgraceful.

“I ran into Wu Jie when I went downstairs to get food!

He was wearing a security guard uniform!”

After hesitating, Xie Wanjun decided to speak up.

After all, now that Wu Jie was a favored man in front of Tang Xiao

In an instant!

Tang Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed, her expression one of shock, “A security guard uniform?

Are you sure?”
