CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 290: WHICH SECURITY GUARD DARE ACTS SO ARROGANTLY?

"The CEO has something to discuss with me, I’ll head up first." As soon as she arrived at the company lobby, Su Qingqing took a call and then went up the elevator alone.

Ye Huan was left speechless and had no choice but to join the queue of job seekers waiting for another elevator.

...

CEO’s Office.

"Promote Ye Huan to the position of Vice President?" Su Qingqing was overjoyed.

"Minister Su, you seem... happier than Ye Huan himself?" Liu Tianyun said, her face cold and her tone unfriendly.

Su Qingqing averted her eyes a couple of times and said with a grin, "Of course I’m happy! Ye Huan has contributed so much to our company. Promoting him to Vice President just shows our company’s clear rewards and penalties. I’m happy we have such an open-minded leader at the helm."

Liu Tianyun, knowing she had special feelings for Ye Huan, felt a pang of unease in her heart, but showed no signs of it on her face.

After taking a sip of tea, she spoke calmly, "This is just normal rewarding and punishing. Go inform Ye Huan, will you? If he wants to sit back and take it easy, let him; there’s no harm in just having a title."

"Sure, I’ll go right now!"

Su Qingqing, clutching the appointment letter with great joy, dashed out of the CEO’s office. Seeing that both elevators were on the first floor, she opted to take the stairs down quickly to deliver the good news to Ye Huan.

But unexpectedly...

She slipped and fell hard when she reached the 13th floor, yelping in pain.

...

In the elevator.

"Hey, what’s going on, why is the security guard in the elevator with us?"

"Totally normal, we’ve got over a hundred people here. If any safety incidents occur, he’s responsible."

"I don’t agree with you. I think this security guard has ulterior motives."

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Think about it. The Translation Department is new. The future minister and vice minister will be chosen from among us. I think... this security captain is trying to get in our good graces early. If he succeeds, he’ll have connections at the ministerial level in the future."

"Wow, your analysis is spot on! The schemes are deep with this security! It’s terrifying!"

For a moment, the job seekers in the elevator shrank to the corners, as if avoiding him like the plague. Ye Huan, standing alone at the elevator door, looked strikingly out of place.

With wary expressions, the job seekers eyed Ye Huan cautiously.

Just kidding, if it were a pretty female security guard cozying up to us, that’d be fine. After all, we could use it as an excuse to date, grab dinner, watch a movie, or hit a hotel... whatever!

A male security guard? No value at all!

If luck was on my side and I became the minister of the Translation Department, wouldn’t a small-time security captain be at my beck and call? I wouldn’t need to cultivate a relationship!

Getting close to him would be a total loss to me!

The job seekers’ wariness intensified, and they stopped talking, fearing Ye Huan might start brown-nosing them.

"Ding."

The elevator reached the tenth floor.

Ye Huan yawned, hands in his pockets, as he stepped out, totally ignoring these people.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t go in yet, the interviewer is still changing." Wang Xiaocui, seated outside the interview room, was touching up her lipstick in a small mirror, stopping the group preparing to enter.

Her words once again ignited the job seekers’ anger.

There’s no need to guess, this woman must have struck a deal with the HR officer and already secured her interview spot!

"Xiaocui, come in, there’s still time. Let me test you some more!"

From the interview room, the lecherous voice of the HR officer called out.

"Coming, handsome, just wait!" Wang Xiaocui beamed triumphantly at the others, then stood up.

Just as she was about to enter the interview room, her eyes froze, stopping on Ye Huan’s face.

"What’s a security guard doing joining the fun? Get out of here, don’t dirty my sight!"

Wang Xiaocui was still miffed about cozying up to the wrong person and was particularly upset with Ye Huan for exposing her silicone nose job in the past. Upon seeing Ye Huan, she immediately launched a tirade.

"Joining the fun?" Ye Huan bit into a toothpick, raising his eyebrows, "Sorry, I’m here to interview you all."

"..."

Wang Xiaocui was speechless. A few seconds later, she was so angry she laughed, her lips curling into a supercilious smirk. She sneered:

"Interview us? You? You, a security guard, are going to interview us for the translator position? Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?"

"Can you understand distinguished English or elegant French? People like you probably speak only the most rustic of Chinese all your life!"

Ye Huan walked with a calm expression to the public seating area and sat down, no longer arguing with Wang Xiaocui, that lapdog. Arguing with such a shrew is no different from wasting one’s life. During the interview later, he would just eliminate her.

But to Wang Xiaocui, this action of his was simply "inferiority".

"What’s the matter? Feeling inferior because you can only speak the inferior language, Chinese?"

"I tell you, feeling inferior is useless. You made me think you were a big shot and tried to ingratiate you, but it turns out you’re just a small security team leader, causing me such disgrace. You’re done for!"

"That handsome guy inside is a supervisor in the personnel department, and he’s the big shot I’ve been trying to cozy up to. He’s already put out word."

Wang Xiaocui mocked with her hands on her hips, "He’s already said he’s going to fire you, the security guard, and teach you a lesson. Understand?"

Upon hearing this, the job hunters around couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

That personnel officer is actually a supervisor in the personnel department? Everyone knows that the HR department wields the power of life and death over employees. The status of a personnel department supervisor is comparable to that of some minor department heads!

This Wang Xiaocui is truly lucky to have backed such a big shot!

As for this security team leader, he’s in for it!

To become a security team leader, this guy must have worked hard, but because he offended someone he shouldn’t have, he’s about to fall from grace, truly lamentable...

However, he deserves it, who told him to pretend to be a big shot, even boasting about coming for his own interview without considering if he’s up to it, truly laughable.

After today, he’ll probably have to go to another company for a security interview.

The job hunters all laughed, some even quietly approaching to slip a few bills into Wang Xiaocui’s pocket, obviously trying to curry favor.

As for the money sent to her, Wang Xiaocui accepted it all, her face showing even more pride, yet inwardly simmering with anger.

How could the person who flattered me the first time and the one who did the second be so different?

One was a pretender, the other a real big shot!

But it doesn’t matter, this pretender is about to be fired!

Wang Xiaocui patted her cheek, plastering on a fawning smile before heading to the interview room.

At that moment...

"Hello, Captain Ye!"

"Hello, Captain Ye!"

"Hello, Captain Ye!"

Three sweet and respectful greetings caught everyone’s attention.

They saw three pretty, graceful HR department employees slightly bowing to Ye Huan.

"Hello, quickly get back to work." Without a care, Ye Huan glanced lightly at them and resumed looking down, browsing his phone.

After the three ladies left, Ye Huan’s indifferent demeanor made several faces change.

What’s going on? It’s one thing for the receptionist to be inexperienced, but how could these beauties in HR also be so inexperienced, especially when they came specifically to greet the security team leader?

Seeing the three women greet him, Wang Xiaocui was instantly infuriated, cursing the Huaxia people as blind for showing such respect to a mere security guard.

Entering the interview room, she hurried over to the personnel officer and complained.

"Is there such a thing? I’ll go teach him a lesson later!"

Meanwhile, outside the interview room.

Ye Huan looked at his phone, his eyes gradually narrowing into slits.

Ten minutes ago, a piece of news had instantly exploded across the Huaxia internet.

"Shocking: Four detainees at the Celestial Sea City Police Headquarters die mysteriously, suspected to have been severely tortured before death. Is this human nature twisted, or moral depravity?!"

From the news photo, it was clear...

The deceased were: Zhong Ming, Li Benshi, and two other members of the human trafficking gang!

...

Half a minute later.

The personnel officer exhaled, adjusted his clothing, and said, "Let’s go, is that security guard still outside? I’m going to fire him to vent your anger!"

"Handsome, you’re so awesome, I love you so much~" Wang Xiaocui embraced the personnel officer and gave him a kiss.

Thinking of how upset the security team leader would be when he got fired, she felt extremely happy and quickly fixed her clothes before hooking her arm through the personnel officer’s and walking out together.

Outside the interview room, the personnel officer with an indifferent expression and a pretentious air adjusted his collar, speaking dismissively:

"Which security dares to pretend like this?"
