Liu Jingfeng stood up and shook hands with Lin Yi.
"Don’t leave just yet. I’ll find soone to guide you around, and that’ll be your formal induction. Any issues with that?"
"No issues. Just assign the normal work."
"Alright."
"Please step outside and wait a little while."
"Sure."
Lin Yi walked out of the eting room, found a quiet spot, and sent a ssage to Ji Qingyan, informing her of the interview results.
She responded with an overly enthusiastic string of encouraging words.
No matter how Lin Yi looked at it, it seed like she was gloating.
At that mont, a system notification sounded in Lin Yi’s mind.
[Task completed: Reward 100,000 Master level driving skills.]
[Job completion rate: 10%, Reward Alloy Shuai Gun.]
Lin Yi knew what an Alloy Shuai Gun was.
Back in high school, it frequently appeared in cri dramas.
He had sneakily bought one back then to look cool.
But as soon as he got ho, it was discovered, and he got a beating for it.
The system was now rewarding him with one, which was actually quite useful for self-defense.
But it hadn’t appeared yet. Following the system’s usual practices, it would likely be mailed to his ho.
The interviews of the remaining three people lasted a total of ten minutes.
Two of them left, leaving behind the man with a tanned complexion.
Lin Yi still had so impression of him, it seed his na was Zhao Xiangyang.
"Hey man, you stayed too, huh."
Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "We’re colleagues from now on."
While the two were chatting, a middle-aged man approached them.
He strolled leisurely, a bunch of keys jingling at his waist.
Seeing the man, Lin Yi felt he looked familiar.
He was indeed the one who’d given him directions at the security office when he first arrived.
Upon seeing Lin Yi, the middle-aged man smiled.
"Looks like you managed to get the job."
"Got lucky."
"You young folks are always so modest, but there’s nothing to be modest about with this crappy job, anyone can do it, don’t take it too seriously."
Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang exchanged a glance.
This guy seed to be a straightforward person too.
At this ti, Liu Jingfeng ca out of the office.
"Brother Ma, you’re here."
Liu Jingfeng greeted him warmly, then introduced Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang:
"This is Ma Weiguo, he’ll be your team leader from now on, if you have any questions, just ask him."
As he spoke, Liu Jingfeng handed over two security manuals.
"In your spare ti, go through the contents. Even though the job seems minor, the position is important. Be diligent."
"Got it."
"Brother Ma, they’re new here, so you take care of them."
"Sure, I’ll take them away now."
"Okay."
The two followed Ma Weiguo to the first-floor warehouse.
Inside, there were many tools and firefighting supplies.
Ma Weiguo led the two to the far side.
On the ground was a cardboard box with new uniforms inside.
"Pick ones that fit you."
Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang rummaged through and found two sets of clothes that fit, marking them as their work uniforms.
Ma Weiguo pulled out his phone, "Let’s add each other on WeChat for easier communication later."
The two did as told and added each other.
"You both should have work experience, right? I won’t say much else. Just go around the neighborhood and familiarize yourself with the surroundings."
"We don’t have work experience. Could you explain it more clearly?"
"There’s really not much work. It mainly involves two aspects: gatekeeping and patrolling." Ma Weiguo said:
"When there’s nothing going on, walk around the neighborhood. Check for cars parked for too long. If so, call them to move."
"Besides that, inspect the community facilities for any risks. If residents need help, lend a hand to maintain good relations for easier work."
"Guarding the gate is pretty easy, nothing much to stress over, once you’re familiar with the work, you’ll get the hang of it."
The two nodded in understanding, and said nothing further.
Ma Weiguo then looked at Zhao Xiangyang.
"You should have work experience, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, you two patrol together; similar work, just explain it again."
"Understood."
After explaining briefly, the three went their separate ways.
Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang walked towards the neighborhood, chatting with each other and quickly becoming familiar.
"I often read online about security guards getting into conflicts with residents. Have you encountered such situations at your previous job?"
"I have, but there’s not much you can do. They’re the residents, you can’t do much about them. If it’s not too outrageous, you just have to tolerate it."
Zhao Xiangyang looked at Lin Yi, "I think you have a short temper. When the residents are unreasonable, you’d better hold your temper."
"I don’t provoke them, so they shouldn’t bother ."
"But they only consider things from their perspective, not the rules."
"Like what?"
"For example, private cars aren’t allowed in the neighborhood. If there’s renovation or moving large furniture, or if the elderly need imdiate dical attention, they should get a permit in advance."
Zhao Xiangyang explained:
"But so people are just unreasonable. Without a permit, they still want to drive in and even curse at you. If things get too heated, the higher-ups might bla you, it’s not a great job."
Lin Yi clicked his tongue.
Such situations really were quite common.
Just like Zhao Xiangyang said, so people are selfish and only think of themselves.
"If you have a good temper, it’s okay. But if you don’t, you really have to restrain yourself."
"It depends on the situation."
"Just from your deanor, you don’t seem to lack money. Probably just finding a job to pass ti?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Who becos a security guard and looks as energetic as you?"
Zhao Xiangyang laughed, "I’m standing right next to you, but if I were further away, I’d think you’re a cop."
"Stop teasing . If I really didn’t need money, I’d be out enjoying life, not working this job."
"For now, just stick with . Do what I do, and try not to get into conflicts with the residents. Most tis, it’s quite relaxed."
"Sounds good."
The two strolled around the neighborhood for a while until it was noon.
Lin Yi intended to treat Ma Weiguo and Zhao Xiangyang to lunch, but Ma Weiguo had other plans, so the two went together.
During their conversation, Lin Yi found out Zhao Xiangyang was married, had a daughter the sa age as Nuonuo, though he was a year younger than Lin Yi.
So he called him Lin Bro, but didn’t pretend to be knowledgeable in front of Lin Yi.
That afternoon, they t up with Ma Weiguo again, who looked visibly flushed and slightly drunken.
"You two stay in the security office. I’m going to find a spot to take a nap."
