"Okay, okay, buddy, as long as there's meat in the Wang family, you absolutely can't go vegetarian." Wang Dongliang declared with righteousness, as if he were a longtime friend of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao responded with a slight smile, "Director Wang, what do you think I should do now? I just heard Mr. Xia mentioning that I should find you, probably to take care of some work formalities, right?"

"It's a minor matter. Besides, Deputy Director Li is very proficient in this area. Deputy Director Li, why don't you go help Ye Xiao with the formalities? I feel like Ye Xiao and I have a special connection, so I want to discuss future work matters with him," Wang Dongliang cheerfully said to Li Shengrong, which clearly infuriated Li Shengrong.

Li Shengrong had been in the corporate world for a long time, and Wang Dongliang only a few days? Although Wang Dongliang said that Li Shengrong would still be Li Shengrong in logistics, wasn't this Wang Dongliang just deliberately ordering him around now?

Still, despite Li Shengrong's annoyance, he dared not to argue much. After all, their statuses weren't the same now; Wang Dongliang was for all intents and purposes the boss of logistics, though nominally he was second-in-command, but in the eyes of the number one, there wasn't much difference between the second-in-command and an ordinary subordinate.

How could Ye Xiao not realize that this was deliberate on Wang Dongliang's part? He quickly laughed along, saying, "How can that be? I should go myself."

"Brother, Deputy Director Li is very considerate of his subordinates. Deputy Director Li, what do you say..." Wang Dongliang turned to Li Shengrong with a smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp with intent.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Wang Dongliang was indeed a schemer; such a person couldn't be allowed to gain an advantage, otherwise, they'd be excessively arrogant.

Li Shengrong, though annoyed, barely managed a smile and told Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, since Director Wang wants to talk to you, I'll go. Just give me your ID card."

"ID card?" The mention of the ID card reminded Ye Xiao that his ID card had been taken by Xia Mingyue.

"Mr. Xia took it," Ye Xiao honestly said.

When Ye Xiao made this revelation, Wang Dongliang and Li Shengrong exchanged looks, obviously shocked by his words. Could it be that Ye Xiao and Mr. Xia had a significant connection? Mr. Xia actually had his ID card?

Wang Dongliang immediately asked, "Brother, how come Mr. Xia has your ID card? You're not joking, right?"

"Who knows what got into this crazy woman's head." Remembering how he had been played by Xia Mingyue left Ye Xiao rather displeased, and he blurted out this remark.

Hearing this, Wang Dongliang and Li Shengrong were even more shocked—Ye Xiao dared to speak of their boss, Mr. Xia, in this manner! There must be a remarkable relation between Ye Xiao and Mr. Xia; otherwise, who in Blue Star Technology would dare speak to Mr. Xia like that? Wouldn't that mean risking their job?

"Having a name is enough!" Li Shengrong said and hastily left the logistics department.

Ye Xiao, feeling puzzled by Li Shengrong's reaction, turned to Wang Dongliang and asked, "Director Wang, what's with Deputy Director Li?"

"It's nothing, nothing, brother. Although logistics isn't big, it has many departments. Being a security guard is a very tiring job. How about this? You take the security team leader role. Usually, it just involves patrolling, and I guarantee it won't be too exhausting." At this moment, Wang Dongliang was even more polite to Ye Xiao. Just hearing what Ye Xiao had said earlier, he was convinced that Ye Xiao had a close relationship with Mr. Xia, and besides, Mr. Xia had always been single—who knows if Ye Xiao might be...

Security team leader?

At the mention, Ye Xiao was immediately astounded. Why was he being made a team leader right away? What about King Yanluo? Wasn't he supposed to be the team leader?

Something felt off to Ye Xiao.

"Director Wang, what have I done to deserve this? I'm happy just being a regular security guard, getting a salary of five thousand a month. Oh, by the way, is my probationary salary two thousand or five thousand?" Ye Xiao, since he was here to work, naturally cared most about his salary; as long as he was paid, he wasn't afraid of hardship.

Wang Dongliang hurriedly said, "Didn't I tell you? You'll be the security team leader, and of course, your salary will be paid according to that rank. Moreover, probation is just to prove an employee's capability, and I have great faith in you, brother, so no need for probation; you can start right away."

"That's how it is, but what about Captain Yan Luo!" Ye Xiao said.

Wang Dongliang promptly replied, "Humph, that stubborn old block of wood, still be the security team head? From now on, he's just an ordinary security officer."

Clearly, Wang Dongliang was annoyed with Yan Luo, so, having just taken charge as logistic's main man, he naturally wanted to consolidate his power promptly, ensuring that logistics were manned by his people. Wang Dongliang wasn't foolish; he did not want what happened to Li Shengrong to happen to him.

"Director Wang, I think I should just start as a regular security guard. If Director Wang appreciates my work, perhaps in ten days or half a month, replace Captain Yan Luo, then promote me. Mr. Xia has just announced the appointment, and if you make a major reshuffle now, might that upset Mr. Xia?" Where Ye Xiao worked didn't matter; becoming a security team leader directly with higher pay was obviously good, but he didn't want others to think he was Wang Dongliang's man. That could cause trouble at Blue Star Technology in the future. Besides, given Yan Luo's cold and non-sycophantic nature, that might be the reason Wang Dongliang took a disliking to him.

So, after thinking it over, Ye Xiao still felt he shouldn't take Yan Luo's job—at least not right away.

Wang Dongliang listened to Ye Xiao's words, and thought they made sense. Moreover, he now felt that Ye Xiao had a good relationship with Mr. Xia, so he took Ye Xiao's suggestion very seriously.

"Yes, yes, you're more thoughtful than I, but don't worry, no one dares to bully you. If you need to take a leave, just go. If anyone asks, tell them you've informed me," Wang Dongliang said.

Ye Xiao gave a wry smile and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Subsequently, Wang Dongliang called Yan Luo over. After all, Ye Xiao was a security guard and naturally should report to Yan Luo. Initially, Yan Luo came over, and Ye Xiao was supposed to follow him to get acquainted with the place and meet the other security team members. However, before the two could leave the administrative department, a graceful figure drifted in through the door.

Beige business attire, carrying an aura of intellect yet with a slightly playful charm.

"Assistant Fang?" Wang Dongliang was the first to see the girl at the door and immediately stood up in surprise from his chair.

The person at the door was Fang Jing. Seeing her, Wang Dongliang hurriedly greeted her. Fang Jing was Xia Mingyue's assistant. Xia Mingyue listened to Fang Jing on almost everything. In Blue Star Technology, Fang Jing was effectively the second in command, so Wang Dongliang dared not show any disrespect upon seeing her.

"Director Wang, Mr. Xia sent me to tell you that she has new instructions regarding Ye Xiao's arrangement!" Fang Jing said with a light smile, her lips barely moving.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Fang Jing with confusion. At that moment, Fang Jing was still looking at him which struck him as very odd, as her eyes were filled with teasing laughter, as if there was something amusing going on that only applied to Fang Jing.

"Oh? And what are Mr. Xia's instructions?" At this point, Wang Dongliang looked at Ye Xiao with even greater respect. A newly recruited security guard could get Mr. Xia to arrange his job personally—how could this be considered having no connections? Wang Dongliang was even more convinced of his own deductions.

Fang Jing, eyes smiling, looked at Ye Xiao, taking in his confusion. She could not help but laugh and then said, "From now on, Ye Xiao's job will be a driver, as Mr. Xia's personal chauffeur."

"What?" Fang Jing's announcement surprised not only Ye Xiao, but also Wang Dongliang and Yan Luo.

"Doesn't Mr. Xia drive herself?" Wang Dongliang asked, puzzled.

"That, you should ask Mr. Xia, Director Wang!" Fang Jing looked at Wang Dongliang.

Wang Dongliang was taken aback by Fang Jing's glance and immediately lowered his head in silence.

Fang Jing then turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she realized that Ye Xiao hadn't followed. She immediately turned around to look at Ye Xiao, who still hadn't moved an inch.

"Why aren't you walking?" Fang Jing asked in confusion.

Ye Xiao immediately said to Fang Jing, "Assistant Fang, what about my salary? You haven't mentioned it yet."

"Oh, I apologize, I overlooked that. Mr. Xia arranged it, your probationary salary is 2000 yuan, for three months. After three months, if converted to permanent, the salary will be reconsidered!" Fang Jing explained.

"Two thousand?" Ye Xiao immediately said, "But, the probationary salary for Blue Star Technology's security guards is also five thousand!"

"Do you have a military discharge certificate?" Fang Jing suddenly changed the subject and asked.

A military discharge certificate?

Ye Xiao had never served in the military, so how could he have such a certificate? He immediately shook his head.

Fang Jing said, "The reason Blue Star Technology offers such high salaries is not to support idlers, something I think you should understand. The primary requirement for security personnel at Blue Star Technology is military experience with robust physical skills, and the best proof of having served is a military discharge certificate. Since you don't have one, if you insist on being a security guard, the probationary salary is 800!"

"What?" Ye Xiao, upon hearing Fang Jing's words, immediately felt some anger. This clearly showed some disrespect.

Just now, Wang Dongliang had mentioned assigning him a team leader's salary, but now it had dropped to not just below a team leader's salary but even below that of a regular security guard.

Wang Dongliang and Yan Luo were even more bewildered. They had just assumed Ye Xiao was someone special, but now, his value had tumbled from five thousand to two thousand and now down to eight hundred, which obviously…

Wang Dongliang was now doubting whether he had misjudged earlier.
