A few minutes later, Xiao Chen arrived at the security department, forcing a friendly smile onto his face as he pushed open the door.
Inside the office, a thin young man in a security uniform was hunched over, playing a mobile game. Upon hearing the sound, he quickly hid his phone and looked at Xiao Chen with some nervousness, "You, who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chen. I’m here to report to the security supervisor."
"Oh, you’re Xiao Chen? Hello, hello. I’m Ding Li, everyone calls me Dinger." The thin young man hurriedly stood up, looking a bit uneasy.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Ding Li? Where’s your big brother Xu Wenqiang?"
"Hehe." Ding Li scratched his head, a hint of shyness and awkwardness flashing across his face.
"Ding Li, why are you the only one in the office? Where are the others?" Xiao Chen looked around and asked.
Hearing this, Ding Li’s expression changed as if he had thought of something, "Xiao Chen, they’re all at the gym. Supervisor Liu said to find him there..."
"Oh, where’s the gym?"
"I, I’ll take you there." A look of worry flashed across Ding Li’s face, "Xiao Chen, when you meet Supervisor Liu, you need to be a bit more humble..."
Xiao Chen was taken aback, what’s going on?
"Let’s go." Ding Li sighed, being targeted by Supervisor Liu wouldn’t make life easy!
Xiao Chen nodded and followed Ding Li towards the gym.
"Remember, you must be humble, endure for a while, and things will calm down..." At the gym door, Ding Li gave a few more instructions.
Xiao Chen smiled, he could tell this guy was quite timid and probably often bullied in the security department!
Ding Li pushed open the gym door, his face plastered with a fawning smile, "Supervisor Liu, Xiao Chen is here!"
Hearing Ding Li’s voice, the five or six young men who were exercising all turned to look at the door.
"You’re Xiao Chen?" A man in his thirties with a muscular build looked at Xiao Chen with a challenging gaze.
"Yes, he is..." Ding Li hurriedly said.
"Did I ask you? Go, get me a bottle of water!" The man barked.
Ding Li swallowed the rest of his sentence and nodded meekly, "I’ll go right away."
Seeing this, Xiao Chen frowned but didn’t say much.
"Kid, I’m asking you a question, are you Xiao Chen?"
"Yes, I am." Xiao Chen nodded, meeting the man’s challenging gaze, "And you are... which onion?"
"..."
The gym fell into a brief silence, everyone was stunned. This guy dared to talk to Liu Yanluo like that?
Especially Ding Li, who was about to fetch the water, broke out in a cold sweat, "Oh no, oh no!"
The man was furious, glaring at Xiao Chen, "I’m the security supervisor, Liu DaKui!"
"Oh, so you’re Supervisor Liu." Xiao Chen smiled, "My apologies, my apologies!"
"Kid, I don’t like the look of you, do you know that?" Liu DaKui said coldly.
"Hehe, I know, I’m better looking than you, so it’s normal for you to dislike me!"
"Hmph, as Mr. Su’s bodyguard, do you only know how to talk big?"
Xiao Chen’s smile faded, "So you know I’m Mr. Su’s bodyguard, not just a security guard under your command?"
Liu DaKui’s face darkened, "As the security supervisor, I’m responsible for Mr. Su’s safety... So, I need to test you. If you fail, I’ll go to Mr. Su and have you fired!"
Xiao Chen looked at Liu DaKui and suddenly asked, "Hey, Supervisor Liu, do you have a wife?"
"No."
"Do you have any sisters or younger sisters?"
Liu DaKui was taken aback, why was this guy suddenly asking these questions?
But he still shook his head, "No!"
"That’s strange, I haven’t given you a green hat, nor have I forced myself on your sisters or younger sisters, so why are you targeting me?" Xiao Chen said helplessly.
Liu DaKui was furious, damn it, I’ve been Mr. Su’s driver and bodyguard for almost a month, just when I was planning to win his trust, you show up and take my good job. Who else would I target if not you?
Of course, he wouldn’t say that out loud. Instead, he put on a stern face and said righteously, "I’m not targeting you, I’m just thinking about Mr. Su’s safety!"
"Enough, don’t be a hypocrite. What test do you want to give me?" Xiao Chen was getting impatient, this was getting ridiculous!
"To be Mr. Su’s bodyguard, you need to have strong combat skills... So, I plan to have the security team test you, to see if you have real skills!"
"All this just to beat me up, huh? Fine, I’ll take the challenge, but I need to warm up first."
Liu DaKui was pleased that Xiao Chen had agreed, "Kid, you’ll soon see what happens when you offend me, Liu Yanluo!"
"Alright, you have five minutes to warm up, is that enough?"
"No, two minutes will do." Xiao Chen bounced a few times and did some stretching exercises.
"Xiao Chen, how can you agree? They’re all very strong, especially Supervisor Liu, who’s a veteran from the military..." Ding Li was worried when he saw Xiao Chen accept the challenge.
Ding Li’s voice was low, but Liu DaKui still heard it and glared at him, "Dinger, are you looking for death? Get out of the way, I’ll deal with you later!"
Ding Li shuddered and didn’t dare to speak, but he still gave Xiao Chen a look, warning him not to fight.
Xiao Chen felt a warmth in his heart, this guy might be timid, but he was a good person, a friend worth making!
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Xiao Chen smiled at Ding Li, glanced at the eager young men, and walked over to a punching bag, kicking it a few times.
"Kid, it’s been two minutes, are you done warming up?"
Liu DaKui urged, eager to see Xiao Chen get beaten up!
The young men in the gym today were the best fighters in the security department, even he, a veteran from a special forces unit, couldn’t guarantee a win against them!
So, in his view, Xiao Chen was doomed!
The young men, seeing Liu DaKui’s nod, clenched their fists and started to taunt.
"Kid, hurry up, don’t waste time!"
"Right, why should you be Mr. Su’s bodyguard? We’ll beat you down and see if you have the face to be a bodyguard!"
"Damn, you don’t even have the qualifications to be a security guard!"
Hearing their taunts, Xiao Chen smiled wryly. The lazy look on his face suddenly changed, and he became like a sharp sword, radiating a fierce aura!
Bang!
Xiao Chen’s right foot, like a thunderbolt, kicked the punching bag with a heavy thud.
In the next second, the solid punching bag burst open in the middle, and the iron sand inside scattered everywhere!
The taunts stopped abruptly, everyone was shocked, staring at the burst punching bag, how was this possible?
"Warming up is done, who wants to fight me now?"
Xiao Chen didn’t look at the burst punching bag but at Liu DaKui and the others, his tone was domineering!
His voice snapped the stunned crowd back to reality, and they all instinctively took a step back, including Liu DaKui!
Kicking a punching bag to pieces was terrifying to them!
"Or, do you want to come at me all at once?" Xiao Chen pointed at the young men, "I’ll take on all of you!"
The young men all shook their heads, a joke, if he could kick a punching bag to pieces, what would happen if he kicked them?
Seeing his subordinates hesitate, Liu DaKui’s face darkened, "What are you afraid of? Can’t a few of you beat one person? This is your chance to show loyalty to Mr. Su, come on!"
The young men were reluctant, but they couldn’t ignore their boss’s order, so they reluctantly charged at Xiao Chen.
Bang!
The young man in the lead was kicked away by Xiao Chen, and then he moved like a tiger among sheep, his iron fists sweeping through the air!
In just a few seconds, the five or six young men were all on the ground, groaning in pain.
Although Xiao Chen didn’t use his full strength, the pain was still unbearable!
Liu DaKui’s face changed, how could he be so strong?
"Supervisor Liu, they’re all down, are you next?" Xiao Chen looked at Liu DaKui provocatively.
Liu DaKui’s face changed again. Although he didn’t want to be beaten, if he didn’t fight, he would lose all his authority in the security department.
Thinking of this, he roared and charged at Xiao Chen, "Kid, I’ll fight you to the death!"
Bang.
Xiao Chen swung his fist, colliding with Liu DaKui’s. He was surprised, this guy was actually skilled, much stronger than the fake special forces soldier Ren Kun had brought!
The collision made Liu DaKui’s face twitch, the pain in his fist almost made him cry out, but he held it in and quickly kicked at Xiao Chen’s chest.
Bang.
Xiao Chen’s reaction was faster, and their right legs collided with a heavy thud.
Liu DaKui’s right leg trembled, he gasped and staggered back.
"Three hundred rounds? Ha, let’s end it in three!"
Xiao Chen stepped forward and punched Liu DaKui’s stomach hard.
"Ah!"
Liu DaKui let out a scream, feeling as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, flying backward and crashing to the ground.
"Supervisor Liu, did I pass the test?"
Xiao Chen stood over Liu DaKui, looking down at him.
"Y-Yes..."
Liu DaKui clutched his stomach, bent over, and forced out the words through the pain.
"Hehe, thanks for letting me win!"
Xiao Chen bowed mockingly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "My temporary office will be in the security department. We’ll be colleagues from now on, I hope we can get along... and don’t bully me just because I’m new!"
"..."
Hearing this, Ding Li was overjoyed, but the others cursed inwardly, damn, who would dare to bully you now?
"Alright, I’ve reported in, I’m leaving. You can continue your workout!" Xiao Chen was about to leave when he remembered something, pointing at Ding Li, "And, from now on, I’ll protect him. I don’t want anyone to bully him anymore!"
"Xiao Chen, I..."
Ding Li’s eyes welled up with tears.
"Come, help me set up my office!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Okay!" Ding Li nodded vigorously and quickly followed Xiao Chen.
Liu DaKui watched Xiao Chen’s back, his eyes turning cold and vicious, "Kid, we’ll see who wins in the end. And Ding Li, don’t think you’re safe just because Xiao Chen is protecting you. In my eyes, you’re still a dog to be bullied!"
