The middle-aged man decided to take revenge for the grievances of the past. Back then, Lin Fan’s big mouth caused him to lose his job, and today Lin Fan won’t leave here easily.
This ti, he thought Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to find fault with him.
Lin Fan indeed didn’t understand this mall, but he didn’t need to, because there was a delivery guy right there who would tell him.
"This mall is divided into three zones, arranged in a line. The staff passage is in zone one, and the walk from zone one to zone three is about 500 ters. We can only enter through the staff passage, which ans if a shop is in zone three, we have to walk a few hundred ters just to get the al. Our legs are worn out, and it costs a lot of ti. Sotis we’re almost late after picking up the al," the delivery guy complained bitterly.
The middle-aged man imdiately said, "You’re wrong. After understanding your difficulties, we have already permitted you to enter from the entrance of zone three."
The delivery guy said, "Now we can enter zone three, but we can’t enter through the main door; we have to go through the side door. Walking from the parking area to the side door is over a hundred ters. It’s a bit closer than before, but still inconvenient. That aside, my main complaint is about zone two. Zone two is in the middle and is the largest, divided into four sections, each with an entrance, but we can’t enter any of them. To pick up a delivery in zone two, we have to detour through zones one or three, which makes us reluctant to accept orders from zone two."
"For example, there’s a store inside the second door of zone two, and normally we could enter through that door and walk just a few ters to get the al, but we can’t enter. We have to go through the zone one staff passage or the zone three side door, walking hundreds of unnecessary ters."
"Today, I had several orders almost overdue, so in my hurry, I parked here and went in through the second door of zone two to pick up an order. It saved so ti and avoided being late. Who knew as soon as I ca out, I’d be surrounded by these security guards..."
"So you ask if I’m satisfied with your rules? I just want to say, screw you!"
The delivery guy’s emotions were stirred, evidently bearing many grievances.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You heard it all."
The delivery guy’s words were a blatant slap in the face to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man got angry, "So what? The mall’s regulations are what they are. We have to consider the interests of custors. Allowing access to the zone one staff passage and zone three side door is the best balance. If we let delivery guys in through all entrances, what would that look like? It would severely affect the custor experience. Custors are our gods, not delivery guys. You’re lucky to be allowed in at all! Outrageous, how did you get in to pick up the al if it wasn’t allowed here? Security, call the guard at this door!"
The head of security promptly agreed and quickly brought over a young guy. The young guy was wearing the mall’s security uniform and was responsible for watching over the second door of zone two.
Being led over by the head of security, the young guard was a bit nervous upon seeing the middle-aged man, turning a bit pale with fright.
"How are you guarding the door? I’ve warned you repeatedly to watch the door properly and not let delivery people in. How did he get in? Tell , did you let him in?" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
The young guard trembled with fear, stamring, "This..."
Seeing this, the delivery guy took the initiative to speak up, "Don’t bla him. I slipped in while he wasn’t paying attention. It’s not his fault."
In truth, the young guard had seen his urgency, showed understanding, and made an exception to let him in. If the middle-aged man found out, the young guard would definitely be punished.
The middle-aged man snorted, "Even so, you’re negligent. How could you not notice him entering? You’re fined thirty percent of this month’s salary, and your bonus is canceled!"
Aghast, the young guard hastily pleaded, "I only make 3,000 yuan, and now I’m fined 900? My bonus is also several hundred, just gone like that? Manager, I understand my mistake; could you cut so slack?"
The middle-aged man said, "No, rules are rules! If you break the rules, you must accept the punishnt!"
The young guard was dumbfounded—his salary wasn’t much to begin with, and now over a thousand yuan was gone, which hit him hard.
Unyielding, the middle-aged man turned to the head of security and said, "This delivery guy parked in a prohibited area. According to regulations, we have the right to confiscate his vehicle. Tow it away, and don’t let him get it back!"
The head of security was delighted, snickering with pride, and said, "Understood! Did you hear that, you two? Tow his vehicle away!"
The head of security signaled two guards to tow the delivery guy’s vehicle.
The delivery guy panicked, "I just bought that scooter not long ago; you can’t just tow it away!"
The middle-aged man sneered, "Oh, we indeed can. We’re just following the rules. If you’re unhappy, you can call the police, but let tell you, it won’t help!"
Having dealt with the young guard and the delivery guy, the middle-aged man then turned to Lin Fan, a smug look on his face.
"Kid, today you’ll see how we in this mall handle things by the book. If you want to stand up for them, look in the mirror and see what you really are!" The middle-aged man chuckled.
Lin Fan stayed silent.
Relentless, the middle-aged man signaled the head of security, "This person is disrupting our work and disturbing the order of the mall. As per regulations, such custors are not welco here. Throw him out and put him on the blacklist. He won’t be allowed here again!"
"Got it!" The head of security moved nacingly towards Lin Fan, sneering, "Kid, I told you, going against us won’t end well for you. Get lost now, you’re already on the blacklist. If you don’t leave, I won’t be polite!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "I don’t know what I did to disrupt the mall’s order. I’m not convinced, so I won’t leave."
The head of security sneered, "Kid, don’t you get it yet? Around here, our manager’s word is law. If he says you disrupt order, then you do. Swallow it if you don’t like it!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan with a smug smile, feeling triumphant. The grudge from back then was finally avenged today. What could this poor boy possibly do to him!
"Not leaving, huh? Security, throw him out!" ordered the middle-aged man.
The head of security wielded his baton, sneering, "Kid, did you hear that? Get out, or we won’t be polite!"
Seeing this, the delivery guy was a bit panicked, fearing Lin Fan might get hit. He quickly advised, "Bro, just leave. Thanks so much for standing up for today, but I don’t want you to get dragged into this. Let it go; we at the bottom of society can’t fight them. I’ve resigned myself to my fate."
Lin Fan remained calm, smiling, "Resign? I used to be a delivery guy too, but I never resigned myself. So what if we’re on the bottom? We have our dignity, and dignity shouldn’t be trampled on. Back then, I argued my case and made this man pay the price. Today, I can do it again."
The middle-aged man sneered, "Kid, you really don’t understand the situation, do you!"
