Lin Beifan drove to the group building with the newly appointed beautiful secretary, Liu Rumei.
As they arrived, Liu Rumei exited the car and said, "Mr. Lin, I'll handle the preliminary contact for the investment business. As for the bodyguard, you can choose one yourself."
With that, she departed, leaving Lin Beifan amused by her confident demeanor.
Parking the car, Lin Beifan leisurely made his way towards the security department.
The manager of the security department awaited him at the entrance.
Upon Lin Beifan's approach, the manager greeted him with a slight bow, saying enthusiastically, "Young Master Lin, you are here!"
"Don't call me Mr. Lin, now I'm working in the company as the vice president of an investment company. You can call me Vice President Lin from now on!" Lin Beifan said solemnly.
"Okay, Mr. Lin!"
The other party was particularly good at talking, and after only a few dozen steps, he had already flattered Lin Beifan more than a dozen times.
Lin Beifan was starting to feel a bit weary of it. Although he enjoyed the praise, too much of it could become tiresome.
Though I enjoy hearing it, let's not overdo it. Too much talk can wear you out.
The two entered the Security Department's hall, chatting amiably. Inside, several tall bodyguards were busy with various tasks - some were exercising, others were checking surveillance, and a few were arranging security facilities.
The manager of the security department clapped his hands and called out, "Everyone, come here!"
Except for two of them who were checking the surveillance, the others trotted over and formed three rows.
"Let me introduce you to this handsome, young, and promising young man standing beside me. He is the son of Chairman Lin of our group and also the heir of our group, Lin Beifan!"
"Now, he is going to take office in our group's investment company as vice president! According to the regulations, he can choose a person from among us to serve as his bodyguard! This is a very cherished opportunity, so you must seize it and perform well! Do you understand?"
"Yes, understood!" The security guards replied in unison.
"Now, let our Vice President Lin say a few words to you all. Let's give him a round of applause!"
*Clapping sounds...* Applause filled the room.
Lin Beifan squeezed his hands, and the applause gradually subsided.
"With a smile, Lin Beifan spoke, "I don't have much to say, just one sentence: Follow me, and you'll experience life with zest!"
"Well said!" The security department manager was the first to applaud. "Although it's a simple sentence, it's thought-provoking and impactful. Well done!"
Lin Beifan smiled in response.
"Mr. Lin, how do you plan to choose?" inquired the security department manager. "Most of these individuals are military veterans, boasting strong security capabilities and proficiency in various techniques..."
Lin Beifan smiled slightly. "Everyone seems capable, but did anyone step forward voluntarily? I appreciate proactive individuals."
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
One of the security guards who stood up was the intended target of Lin Beifan's selection, a highly capable and loyal fighter. However, the presence of the other individual puzzled him.
Why was he here?
Wasn't he the second protagonist, supposed to be a security guard in Belvedere Group?
Shouldn't he be meeting the beautiful president and enacting the classic drama of being the beautiful president's bodyguard?
Lin Beifan stared at the person in question blankly, sensing that something was amiss.
At that moment, Ye Xingchen was also gazing at Lin Beifan with a bewildered expression, though inwardly he was feeling quite thrilled.
His name was Ye Xingchen, currently 28 years old and working as an ordinary security guard in the Lin Group's security department. However, behind the scenes, he was renowned as the king of mercenaries in the underground world, a formidable warrior!
Throughout his career, he had executed numerous successful missions and claimed the lives of countless adversaries. However, weary of the constant violence, he had decided to leave that life behind and settle in the city, assuming the role of a humble security guard, seeking solace in the mundane affairs of everyday life.
Yet, there was another facet to his identity.
He was also a reincarnate!
Originally slated to work in the Belvedere Group, his path was meant to cross with Chu Ruoxue, the enchanting president, initiating a tale of fervent romance.
However, fate had other plans, leading him to encounter Lin Beifan, a man of unfathomable mysteries!
On the surface, Lin Beifan appeared to be nothing more than a wealthy and clueless scion, dazzling with his ignorance. Yet, beneath this facade lurked a man of formidable strength and unwavering resolve.
His power was unmatched, his abilities unparalleled.
Proficient in every aspect, he effortlessly amassed trillions in assets within a mere span of years, ascending to the pinnacle of the world.
However, what irked Ye Xingchen the most was Lin Beifan's audacious act of stealing away his beloved, Chu Ruoxue.
Not content with merely stealing his love, Lin Beifan obliterated every faction that stood in his way, rendering Ye Xingchen powerless and forcing him into exile like a wretched stray.
Reduced to nothing but a street rat, he endured the taunts and jeers of those around him.
Determined to reclaim all that he had lost, Ye Xingchen vowed to exact his revenge upon Lin Beifan a hundredfold.
Yet, faced with an adversary of such indomitable strength and perfection, he found himself grappling with the daunting question: How could he ever hope to emerge victorious?
Later, Ye Xingchen mulled over his predicament.
"Only by infiltrating his inner circle, earning his trust, and closely observing him, can I uncover his vulnerabilities. It's only then that I can exact my vengeance and quench the burning hatred in my heart!"
