Ouyang Xiaoya sat in the passenger seat, looking at Lin Hai with a puzzled expression.

Just a moment ago, after leaving Chairman Ye's villa, she received some shocking news.

And the most surprising part of this news—came from Lin Hai.

"I can't believe it."

Ouyang Xiaoya felt dizzy and completely unable to comprehend the content of the conversation just now.

"Beast Lin, was everything Chairman Ye said just now true?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked curiously.

"D*mn, CEO, from when we left till now, you've asked over thirty times in ten minutes, please give me a break."

Lin Hai complained while driving.

Meanwhile, he was secretly elated, thinking to himself, "Ha, now you dare to look down on me, haha, my status has directly risen."

"Beast Lin, I really can't understand, what exactly did you say to Chairman Ye while pouring tea?" Ouyang Xiaoya scratched the back of her head.

"CEO, please be mindful of your terms. My identity and status are quite extraordinary now." Lin Hai retorted.

"Is that so? Tsk tsk, wasn't it just that Chairman Ye appointed you as Vice President and gave you a ten percent share dividend?" Ouyang Xiaoya glared furiously at the pesky beast.

"In my eyes, no matter how your status changes, you're still Beast Lin."

Lin Hai was displeased, muttering, "Honey, I'm Beast Lin, and you're my fiancée, so when we get married, won't you be Beast Ya?"

"You're Beast Ya, you beast, stop the car immediately."

"Honey, this is a small freeway, why stop suddenly?"

"I'm planning to get out and beat you to death, you're the Beast Ya!"

The thought of being associated with the wicked "Beast" title almost left Ouyang Xiaoya fuming mad.

This "nickname" is unbearable for an Iceberg Goddesses CEO like herself!

"Honey, don't be mad, as they say, 'the ocean accepts hundreds of rivers and has capacity for great atmosphere.'

"I'm always great!" Ouyang Xiaoya huffed angrily.

"I know, you've always been great, haha."

After speaking, someone kept driving while sneaking glances at the CEO's small peaks.

"Great my foot!"

Ouyang Xiaoya instantly understood what Lin Hai meant by "great" the moment she felt his gaze!

Immediately, the CEO felt angry enough to want to rip the steering wheel off and smash it on the beast's head.

"Honey, forgive my unruly nature this life."

Lin Hai finished speaking and even whistled deliberately, with a smug expression.

"Can't you learn to be like someone else, like a warm-hearted guy?" Ouyang Xiaoya gritted her teeth.

"Honey, I've always been a warm-hearted guy, all kinds of warmth, the girls all like my warmth." Lin Hai blinked.

"You're a warm-hearted guy? Well, maybe you are."

Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes rolled, calming down to be rational to defeat the pesky beast in words.

"Oh? Honey, you finally recognized my warmth?" Lin Hai chuckled.

"Yes, you're a warm-hearted guy, but only at best 'floor heating.'

"What?" Lin Hai was dumbfounded.

D*mn, with my height and build, I could play as a forward in basketball, but this "floor heating" title... what a pit!

"Drive properly, by the way, let's talk seriously, why did Chairman Ye suddenly promote you to Vice President of Mingya?" Ouyang Xiaoya couldn't understand why the pesky beast's promotion was so fast, going from a little security guard to a real vice president in just over half a year.

"Maybe because I'm handsome to the point of enchantment at depth, Chairman Ye considers me a rare talent and treasures me." Lin Hai babbled.

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu appointed him as vice president because he felt Lin Hai's status as a small security guard was a bit unmatched for Xiaoya, and besides, should he not look after his nephew?

"Can you not be narcissistic?"

"I can."

Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes again.

"Lin Hai, why are you always so positively optimistic? It seems other people's ridicule has no effect on you, or rather, you rarely get truly angry."

Actually, Ouyang Xiaoya had been wanting to ask these questions for a long time.

Even when Lin Hai was a security guard, he was always cheerful and seemed unafraid of being looked down upon by others.

Previously, Ouyang Xiaoya thought he was resigned.

But after spending so much time together and seeing Lin Hai's plans for establishing Mingya Pharmaceutical and a security company, Ouyang Xiaoya realized Lin Hai was not incapable.

Someone like him doesn't need to try too hard to earn basic respect from others.

Yet, why does the pesky beast always seem indifferent to seeking advancement?

"Honey, why should I care if others look up to me?" Lin Hai questioned back, honking the horn as the female driver ahead seemed unskilled, almost colliding.

"I'm just curious about your mindset?"

"Honey, my mindset is simple. In fact, the same question was just asked by Chairman Ye, why I insisted on staying with you without fearing the status gap as a security guard."

Lin Hai shifted the focus to Ye Zhiqiu's reason for appointing him as vice president.

"Oh? Then tell me, I am curious too, how did you answer Chairman Ye?"

"Actually, I've always upheld one truth—people should have some persistence in their hearts."

"So what is your persistence?"

Honey was even more curious, that pesky beast has persistence?

"I have two: first, to cherish every person worth cherishing around me, not to give up on cherishing due to emotional bias. Even if others look down on me or believe my status differs from friends and family, I won't easily leave because I care about emotions, not status."

"Secondly, I always hold onto the notion of 'being a person even when you're down."

Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful eyes displayed a look of surprise.

These words from the pesky beast couldn't be from an ordinary security guard's mind.

In these simple words, there is an unwavering belief without hostility or sharpness.

"Oh, you do speak of some Gao Dashang stuff."

"Or perhaps it means I'm not bothered by disdain and maintain a cool eye through bustling markets, sparing many worries. Why mind others' opinions when you can be yourself?"

Ouyang Xiaoya was stunned again.

Could these words really come from someone who claims to be a semi-illiterate middle school dropout?

Even though she met numerous successful entrepreneurs in Huadu, who still cared a lot about others' opinions and lost their pride when facing people of differing statuses, as if returning to the struggling beginnings.

But Lin Hai didn't have this inferiority complex.

"Having a cool eye through bustling markets, sparing many worries..."

Ouyang Xiaoya murmured to herself. She thought maybe today she truly understood Beast Lin, no, it's Lin Hai now.

With this thought, unintentionally, the CEO's gaze toward Lin Hai softened considerably.

However, there was still some concern… Xuanyuan Lingfeng, always pressed against her mind, making it hard to breathe.
