Leaving Heaven Mansion, Li Yan headed straight to Jie Rui Headquarters.
The headquarters of Jie Rui Security Company was actually the office Jie Rui had previously set up in the city. The forr headquarters was at a training base in the suburbs, but because the rent and daily expenses were higher, they only had an office in the city. After the reform, besides changing the managent team, they also moved the headquarters to the city, putting up a more impressive sign and renting several more offices. The training base remained as just a training base.
Li Yan didn’t co here often, but every ti he did, Li Jie would accompany him. Everyone knew he had an important identity, and later, they also learned he was the company’s honorary advisor. So when they saw him coming up, no one asked him to register, and they all greeted him warmly.
Entering the office, he saw Huang Ying busy and focused at her computer. Li Yan walked directly to her side. He wanted to give her a little scare but then rembered that Huang Ying was easily startled, so he didn’t do it.
Even though Huang Ying was working seriously, she still noticed soone approaching and asked, "Is there sothing you need?"
"Can’t I co to see you even if there’s nothing?" Li Yan said with a light laugh.
Huang Ying initially thought it was a colleague, so she’d just asked casually, without looking up from the screen. Now, hearing Li Yan’s words, she imdiately raised her head, looking at him with a bit of surprise and softly said, "What brings you here?"
"Aren’t I the honorary advisor? Isn’t it normal for to co have a look?" Li Yan said as he glanced around the office, seeing everyone busy. Monday mornings usually are not very leisurely.
Huang Ying thought he might be looking for soone, so she followed his gaze and then quietly asked, "Are you looking for Li Jie?"
Without saying anything, Li Yan leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Though it was just a quick kiss, it still made Huang Ying’s face blush. Initially calm, she now beca flustered and anxious, glancing around as if she had done sothing wrong.
"Is Zhao Chengyao here?"
"Yes... with Li Jie... in the eting room." Huang Ying quickly replied.
"Then I won’t disturb you," Li Yan said, smiling as he saw her nervousness, and left for the eting room, too lazy to knock and directly entered.
"Who is it?" Seeing soone enter without knocking, Li Yan’s displeased gaze imdiately looked over.
Zhao Chengyao also looked over, thinking that if soone entered without knocking, it must be sothing important.
Li Yan saw not just the two of them but also soone he didn’t recognize. Li Jie was seated at the head, with Zhao Chengyao and the stranger facing each other.
Seeing it was Li Yan, Li Jie’s and Zhao Chengyao’s expressions changed, not showing anger or displeasure. However, their reactions were different; Li Jie rely nodded, while Zhao Chengyao, who didn’t have a favorable impression of Li Yan before, was now very grateful and relieved after the incident at the auction. If not for Li Yan influencing Li Jie, according to his plan, Jie Rui would have been in trouble.
"What’s this lack of manners? Having an important eting with leadership, and any damn shrimp can just barge in?" Before they could open their mouths, the unfamiliar person imdiately ridiculed upon seeing that Li Yan not only opened the door but ca directly inside.
Upon saying this, the others frowned; it was too crude and disrespectful!
Closing the door, Li Yan calmly asked, "Who might this be?" So arrogant?
He didn’t get angry because both Zhao Chengyao and Li Jie were there accompanying the eting, guessing this was an important client. Jie Rui needed major deals, so he wasn’t bothered.
Zhao Chengyao quickly got up, pulled out a chair nearby for Li Yan to sit, and began introductions: "This is Zhao Yun, Captain of Team Zhao from First Security Company. Zhao Yun, this is our company’s Advisor Li."
Li Yan sat down and imdiately understood the situation. First Security Company, isn’t that the security hired by the auction house? It’s the business Zhao Chengyao handed over to them; now that the business failed, are they seeking compensation from Jie Rui?
...
After Li Yan sat down, Zhao Yun beca impatient, picked up the ashtray on the table, and banged it loudly. "Zhao Chengyao! Last ti you said you’d help with this deal because of the family bond, but you tricked ! Now you’ve caused such a negative impact on our company. Just tell how to compensate us! Don’t ss with , one minute having a damn boss; are you playing ?"
Many company eting rooms prohibit smoking, but Jie Rui is a security company, whether it’s the internal security captain, key personnel, or clients; they’re often encountered smoking, and the environnt isn’t great, so ashtrays are provided. This ashtray isn’t the small porcelain or plastic ones from restaurants but a large glass ashtray that Zhao Yun now held tightly, banging on the tabletop with an air of ’not satisfied and ready to smack soone.’
His accusations confird Li Yan’s guess. The profanity embarrassed Zhao Chengyao and tightened Li Jie’s brow, her expression colder, clearly holding back from hitting soone.
Li Yan initially didn’t say anything, thinking this was a big client. Knowing it’s First Security Company and guessing their intention, his attitude worsened. Now, Zhao Yun has also cursed him and Li Jie together, making him even more displeased. Li Jie is his woman, after all!
"First Security Company, right? Why do I feel like you’re going to beco the last soon? Zhao Yun? Zhao Zilong? Calling yourself Zhao Yun like you’re Zhao Zilong? Compensation? Is there sothing wrong with your head?" Li Yan sneered.
Hearing Li Yan’s words, Li Jie felt a bit of vented frustration. But Zhao Chengyao sighed inwardly, thinking they still couldn’t afford to offend First Security Company. He wanted to negotiate a solution, offer symbolic compensation, but didn’t expect Li Yan to confront Zhao Yun as soon as he arrived.
"Damn it! You punk, pulling this crap in front of ?" Zhao Yun forcefully slamd the ashtray and stood up suddenly.
Well, if not two ters, he was almost two ters tall—what a waste for not playing basketball. Zhao Yun wasn’t just tall but sturdy, standing randomly gave off an imposing presence. Even Li Yan seed a bit frail in front of him. Li Jie, being slim, appeared even more fragile in comparison. Such a person as a bodyguard is definitely visually impressive.
Seeing him seemingly about to explode, both Zhao Chengyao and Li Jie made eye contact with Li Yan; this is their space, no way to let him cause trouble here.
Li Yan didn’t see it that way; Jie Rui is a security company, shouldn’t be too genteel. Sotis you need to be passionate and tough. Why didn’t First Security Company send a lawyer but instead sent a seemingly rough negotiator? Clearly, they’re there to intimidate!
"Punk, who are you calling?" Li Yan seed not to notice their eye contact and also slamd the table.
Zhao Yun saw Li Yan daring to argue with him, knowing he was visibly less intimidating, felt he could almost choke Li Yan’s neck across the table. This made him disdainful, loudly cursing, "Punk, I’m calling you! So what?"
Li Yan suddenly lost his anger and instead smiled, saying, "Oh, turns out it’s really the punk calling . I thought I heard wrong."
