Super War God in the City

Chapter 33: Don’t Judge People by Their Appearance

Chen Ling’s face turned ashen, her lips even bitten until they bled. Just now, it seemed she had said that if Ling Fan could make her leave, she would call him "Daddy"!

She never dreamed that the situation would take such a dramatic turn; the odds were so slim she could have bought a lottery ticket.

Dozens of eyes in the company were watching; how could she face calling him that? How was she supposed to get by in the company after this?

Ling Fan let out a light chuckle. Chen Ling had a figure that was striking from every angle, a real beauty for sure, but he certainly didn’t have the habit of pitying and cherishing jade.

"You’d better pack your things and get out," Ling Fan snorted coldly, though he didn’t seem too harsh on her.

Xiao Chubing stood by, wondering how Chen Ling had managed to offend her husband. She had strong business capabilities and had followed her for over a year.

But now she was listening entirely to Ling Fan. If her husband wanted to fire her, there must be a good reason.

She completely ignored Chen Ling’s pleading gaze. In less than two days, she had developed a blind trust in Ling Fan.

"Wife, go ahead if you’re busy. I’ve got some other things to take care of. Don’t worry about the secretary; I’ll arrange someone right away, guaranteeing both competence and loyalty," Ling Fan instructed.

Xiao Chubing nodded. She was indeed busy with a pile of company matters waiting for her attention.

"Then come find me upstairs later!"

"Hmm, go on!"

At this moment, dozens of company employees looked at Ling Fan with infinite awe!

Ling Fan cleared his throat and stood up to address the security staff: "All security personnel, follow me upstairs for a meeting!"

Li Fu’s legs trembled like sifting chaff; he felt like death was imminent. Previously, he had run his mouth off, mocking Ling Fan as a good-for-nothing in the surveillance room.

Hadn’t secretary Chen Ling been fired just for talking back a few times? Huang Shanhe had ended up with a broken leg, Deputy Director Yang was as meek as a dog, not daring to utter a peep. Who was he in comparison? Wouldn’t it be the end of him if he were to be dealt with?

The security monitoring room on the second floor.

Seven security guards lined up side by side, standing as straight as pens, chests thrust out as if they were at attention.

Just as Ling Fan was about to speak, a sudden ’thump’ gave everyone a start.

It turned out Li Fu couldn’t bear the pressure and had knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Ling Fan asked, annoyed.

"Young Master Ling, I was wrong... I resign voluntarily..." Li Fu said, his entire being drained.

"Did I say you could leave? Stand up straight!"

Qian Dayong, quick on his feet, hurried to pull him up.

"Alright, our company has quite a few problems, especially in the security department. From now on, the security department will be renamed the Security Department!

If you guys work hard, the company will soon face rapid development, and we will urgently need talent. I am now making some adjustments to the appointments in the Security Department," Ling Fan admonished.

"Qian Dayong!"

"Here!"

"From now on, you are the Head of the Security Department, in charge of the entire department. I will be the deputy head, and we will have team captains and squad captains below us.

The personnel structure in the Security Department will eventually exceed a hundred people. You need to progress and grow quickly; do you understand?"

Qian Dayong was stunned; this sudden good fortune was overwhelming. Once it sank in, excitement surged through him like a shot of adrenaline.

"Snap!"

Qian Dayong snapped to attention, full of fighting spirit, "Young Master Ling, rest assured, I will not disappoint the leadership’s expectations!"

"Hmm, there’s one more very important task, ensuring the safety of every female colleague in the company. Under no circumstances should any ruffian get in and harass them, especially the general manager, got it?"

A few security guards looked at each other in disbelief. Was this really a function of the Security Department? Nonetheless, they all thoroughly understood now, an unspoken agreement between them.

"For the personnel arrangements below, you handle the promotions. I’ll be observing you over this period. You’re dismissed!" Ling Fan instructed Qian Dayong.

The nearby security guards were almost green with envy. Envy got them nowhere; fools might have fool’s luck. If it had been them, they certainly wouldn’t have dared to stop Young Master Xu.

Once outside, Qian Dayong took a deep breath, "Seek wealth and honor in the face of danger, the ancients truly did not deceive me!"

"Da Yong, are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to a spa! " a colleague teased Qian Dayong with a wink and a nudge.

There was no helping it; Qian Dayong was now the Head of the Security Department, wielding the power of life and death over the entire department. Although they couldn’t curry favor directly, Young Master Ling mentioned that there were still positions like squadron leaders available—definitely worth vying for.

"Stop bothering with these frivolous things. I, Qian Dayong, am as pure as the wind, treating everyone fairly, only judging by ability. As long as you perform well, there’s a chance for everyone!

Besides, my wife is as beautiful as a flower; how could I be tempted by women of ill-repute? You should go less often, too—watch out for diseases and get back to your post," Qian Dayong admonished, straightening his cap.

The security guard slunk away, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, what a pretentious ass... puts on airs so quickly."

"Hmph, who says being a security guard has no prospects? Sooner or later, you’ll be looking at me with newfound respect!" Qian Dayong’s gaze was resolute.

There was always one thing that bothered him deeply—his mother-in-law looked down on him with disdain, constantly scolding him as a good-for-nothing. Now, finally, his luck was changing.

After Qian Dayong left, Chen Ling sneaked out from a corner and appeared at the door to the Security Department’s monitoring room, hesitating deeply within herself.

She’d been working here for over a year, earning over ten thousand a month. She really didn’t want to lose this job, mainly because she had high hopes for the company’s future.

Just now, she had gone to Xiao Chubing. The general manager didn’t ask much, only saying, "As long as Ling Fan agrees, I have no objections!"

"Creak!"

Ling Fan opened the door and came out of the monitoring room.

Chen Ling’s face turned pale, but she braced herself and went to meet him.

"Huh? You haven’t left yet?" Ling Fan said with a chuckle.

"I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? Just don’t let me go, I’ll do anything!" Chen Ling was desperate, ready to face mockery, this job was really important to her.

"Oh? What did you do wrong?" Ling Fan suddenly became interested, not in a rush to send her away.

Chen Ling gritted her teeth, "Previously, Young Master Xu bribed me to report President Xiao’s whereabouts. I shouldn’t have done that. I swear, I won’t ever do it again!"

"Then how can I trust you again!"

"I swear, if anyone dares to target President Xiao, I guarantee I’ll kick them out!" Chen Ling said determinedly.

"Is that so? Even if you face someone like Young Master Xu, you dare to kick them out?"

"I..."

Ling Fan waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, if you can’t handle it, notify Qian Dayong. If even he can’t handle it, then let me know."

Although Chen Ling didn’t quite understand what this had to do with Qian Dayong, she nodded, "Mm-hm, has Young Master Ling forgiven me?"

"Oh, right, you haven’t called me anything yet!" Ling Fan teased.

Chen Ling’s face immediately turned a deep red, "Can... can I not call you anything?"

"What do you think?" Ling Fan said, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Chen Ling wished she could slap herself—she’d never underestimate anyone again.

Looking around nervously to make sure no one was watching, she then whispered with a flushed face, "Dad... Daddy..."
