Chapter 1689: Let Me Protect You
“Oh? Why do you need an air pump? Do you want to pump your car’s tires?” Little Liao thought that Little Wang wanted the air pump for private matters, so he adjusted his tone, “The company’s cars are pumped up every day.”
“Why are there so many questions?” Little Wang frowned. He had noticed Little Liao’s dissatisfaction. Still, he also understood that other people might have some opinions about him being promoted directly from a security captain to the deputy manager of the logistics department. They all thought that he had pulled some relationship strings.
Moreover, the news about him becoming Yang Ming’s driver had not yet spread. Only Bao Sanli knew about it for now.
“Brother Yang asked me to bring it. Please hurry up!”
“Brother Yang? Which Brother Yang?” Little Liao was stunned. He thought for a while and knew that there was no Brother Yang in the logistics department.
“I’m Chairman Yang’s driver, don’t you know about it?” Little Wang frowned. “Hurry up, it’ll be troublesome if it interferes with important matters!”
“Chairman Yang!” As soon as Little Liao heard this name, he immediately realized who this Brother Yang that Little Wang mentioned was! Yang Ming had also participated in Ming Yang Entertainment’s meeting when Jing Xiaolu was promoted. Hence, the employees in the company now knew that there was a chairman named Yang Ming above Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.
Little Liao was the captain of the vehicles team, so he spoke disrespectfully to him even after knowing that LIttle Wang was now his superior. This was because Little Liao sometimes drove Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan when they went out!
Although Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan could drive, it was often inconvenient to drive by themselves. After all, they had status, so they used Little Liao as a temporary driver.
Little Liao also felt that he was competent. He was naturally superior to others as he was the driver of the boss, so it was reasonable for him to not put Little Wang in his eyes! This was despite hearing that LIttle Wang had been assigned to his current position because he had impressed a leader and become his driver. Even so, Little Liao didn’t place importance on it. After all, which leader could be better than Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan?
He subconsciously thought that the reason why Little Wang was assigned to a higher position than him was definitely that the leader was a relative of his. The thought of this made him even more scornful toward Little Wang, so he became difficult.
However, when he heard that Little Wang was actually Yang MIng’s driver, Little Liao was suddenly terrified. He finally realized that Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were not the most powerful in this company! There was still a chairman above them. Although this chairman did not appear in the company often, he still had authority!
Little Liao was promoted to the captain of the vehicles team because he drove for Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. Thinking of this, it was reasonable for Little Wang to be promoted because he drove for Yang Ming!
Who can I blame for not serving someone in a higher position? Thinking that he had almost interfered with important matters, Little Liao’s face changed immediately. He quickly assumed a charming look that was he normally showed only in front of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. “Brother Wang, you could have told me earlier. I’ll get you an air pump now!”
He called Little Wang as “Brother Wang”. Little Wang had noticed this instantaneous change. He deeply felt that this world was so hypocritical. Unknowingly, he had become a powerful and well-connected person.
Little Liao brought a good air pump quickly. Little Wang wanted to reach out to take it, but Little Liao shook his head to refuse. He personally delivered the air pump to Little Wang’s car. He opened the trunk, and properly put it in.
“Brother Wang, I have prepared it for you. You should quickly go to serve the chairman. Don’t delay it anymore, we can’t afford it!” Little Liao smiled respectfully after speaking. It was as if he was not the strange man from before.
“En. Little Liao, you did a good job. I thought I needed to pump air at first, but I didn’t expect it to be pumped already.” Little Wang nodded with satisfaction.
“Hehe…” Little Liao smiled happily after being praised. Little Liao had noticed that even though Little Wang was just the deputy logistics manager, he was definitely superior to the manager. In the future, even if the manager makes a decision, I must discuss it with Little Wang first!
I want to continue to work in the company. So how can I simply offend the people around the chairman? Little Liao was secretly relieved. Luckily, I acted swiftly. Otherwise, I would most probably have been done for today!
Little Wang got in the car and drove the car to Song Jiang IndustryEngineering University…
Yang Ming swiftly arrived at Xiao Qing’s office, but he did not knock on the door. He glanced into the room using his special ability and saw that there was no one except Xiao Qing. So, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Xiao Qing heard the sound of the door opening, so she looked up abruptly. Once she saw that it was Yang Ming, she was relieved. She said with a blush, “Why did you come in directly without knocking? You scared me. I was thinking about who was being so impolite!”
“Hehe, I saw that there was no one else in the room, so I went straight in,” Yang Ming said as he closed the office door.
Xiao Qing blushed even more when she saw Yang Ming’s action. “Why are you closing the door?”
“It’s cold. Didn’t you close the door before?” Yang Ming locked the door and said naturally.
“Then why did you lock it?” Xiao Qing looked at Yang Ming’s serious look and couldn’t help but be amused by him.
“Ah? You noticed it?” Yang Ming had consciously done it secretly. There was no clue, nor was his face blushing, but he was still caught by Xiao Qing. “I’m afraid that people will come in and discover something that shouldn’t be.”
“I’m telling you, don’t mess around. Jiajia saw us last time. You are not careful!” Xiao Qing complained, “Fortunately, it is Jiajia. What if it was another person and they spread it out?”
“What’s the big deal? I will just drop out of school.” Yang Ming shrugged indifferently and said, “We’ll see what else people can say!”
“Drop out of school? Don’t talk nonsense!” Xiao Qing frowned but was secretly moved by Yang Ming’s words.
“Then I’ll just not talk about it. I’ll just be careful in the future,” said Yang Ming. In fact, Yang Ming no longer had any desire or expectation toward university. Those who go to university would find that it was nothing much.
Therefore, it would be fine even if Yang Ming dropped out of school now. Considering Yang Ming’s current status and achievements, the university had become unimportant. Even Yang Dahai’s ideology was not the same as before. He simply felt that Yang Ming was studying at university to gain life experience. He no longer asked about Yang Ming’s grades. He also no longer interfered when Yang Ming did not appear in school for a few months.
“I heard from Jiajia that Mengyan was kidnapped and you rescued her. Is she okay?” Xiao Qing had seen Yang Ming’s skills. When she was in Hong Kong, Yang Ming had shocked the bar’s boss with a few tricks to get her out of trouble.
“She’s fine. It’s been resolved.” Yang Ming nodded. “Now Mengyan has already come to class. Only a few people know about this.”
“Did Chen Mengyan’s parents doubt anything about you saving her? You know, Chen Fei is the chief of the police bureau!” Xiao Qing looked at Yang Ming and asked, “No one found out about your abilities, right?
“He knows more or less…” Yang Ming shrugged helplessly, then took out two credentials in his pocket and handed them to Xiao Qing. “I was approached by this organization and ended up joining them.”
“Supernatural Investigation Bureau? Military district?” Xiao Qing glanced at Yang Ming’s credentials in confusion. Then she expressed a solemn expression. “They know about your matters?”
“There are similar experts there, so I can’t hide it.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “But there are two sides to this matter. Although my abilities have been revealed, and I have to run some errands for them, this can also be considered my amulet. With these two credentials, other institutions and individuals will not come and cause me trouble. They will even solve it for me.”
Xiao Qing nodded as she listened to Yang Ming’s analysis, and said sincerely, “Yang Ming, you have grown up.”
“Ah?” Yang Ming froze slightly.
“I think you have matured in dealing with circumstances. So, I don’t need to worry about you anymore,” Xiao Qing laughed and said. “As long as you know how to act appropriately.”
“Everyone will mature…” Yang Ming looked up at Xiao Qing’s bright eyes, “Previously, you were my Sister Xiao Qing. Now, I can protect you.”
Xiao Qing looked at the expression in Yang Ming’s eyes. There was a lump in her throat. She had to admit that Yang Ming had really grown up in this time, transforming from a boy into a man of great standing.
“Okay, I will become a child in front of you from now on.” Xiao Qing suddenly felt relaxed. It seemed like there was no longer an age gap between her and Yang Ming.
“It was already like this before…” Yang Ming touched his nose and smiled bitterly. “I think it was already like this since that incident with Song Hang…”
“En?” Xiao Qing blinked, remembering the matter where Song Hang tried to cause trouble for her. It really seemed to be the case. Unknowingly, Yang Ming had become the place where her fragile heart leaned on…
Chapter 1690: Huge Benefits
The meetings between him and Xiao Qing were always done in a hurry. It always felt like having an affair, but it was always really hasty.
However, it couldn’t be helped. This matter could not be made public unless Xiao Qing resigned or Yang Ming dropped out of school. Yang Ming did not care, but he was afraid that Xiao Qing could not withstand the strange looks of others.
After all, cradle snatchers were still not accepted in society.
He left the computer science teacher faculty building. After thinking about it, Yang Ming called Sun Jie. The phone rang a few times, but the call was declined.
Yang Ming was stunned. Just as he wanted to call again, he received a text message.
“I’m in class, what do you want? Is something wrong?”
Yang Ming read the text message and smiled bitterly. Then he replied, “It’s all right, you stay in class. I’m back in Song Jiang. Please contact me after class.”
Sun Jie’s class was almost over, but she happened to be busy.
After a few moments, Sun Jie replied with an “en”.
Yang Ming called Little Wang’s phone, “Little Wang, where are you?”
“Brother Yang, I’m here, right at the main entrance to Song Jiang Industry University,” Little Wang had arrived long ago and had been waiting for Yang Ming’s call.
“En, then wait for me in front of the computer science’s teaching building. My car is parked there. It’s a BMWX5, you can see it when you reach there,” commanded Yang Ming.
“Okay, Brother Yang. I’ll be there,” responded Little Wang.
Yang Ming hung up the phone and walked to the teaching building. Before arriving at the teaching building, he saw an Audi A8 parked next to his car. Little Wang was carefully inflating the BMW’s tires with an air pump.
Yang Ming smiled. Little Wang’s eyesight and observation skills are good. After reaching here, he immediately knew why I had asked him to bring an air pump with him after he saw my tires.
“Brother Yang!” Little Wang was inflating the tires while using his peripheral vision to see if Yang Ming would come over. He called out when he saw Yang Ming.
“How’s it going? Have you pumped up all the tires?” asked Yang Ming.
“This is the last one!” Little Wang said as he unplugged the air pump. He measured the tire’s air pressure with a pressure gauge, then nodded with satisfaction. “I’ve finished, Brother Yang!”
“En, I’ve troubled you early in the morning. I don’t know who deflated my tires.” Yang Ming was delighted with Little Wang’s attitude. Even when he saw that the tires were deflated, he did not show any doubts. A qualified driver should do things this way. Don’t ask questions that should not be asked.
“Hehe, I’m in the company to help Brother Yang at any time,” Little Wang laughed and said. “It’s no trouble. I was afraid I would have nothing to do.”
“En, then you can go back first. I’ll find you if I have something else…” Yang Ming nodded, signaling that Little Wang could go back.
“Okay, Brother Yang!” Although Little Wang was disappointed that Yang Ming had nothing else for him to do, he did not show it. “If there is anything else, just call me at any time. I’ll be on standby for twenty-four hours!”
Twenty-four hours? Yang Ming smiled. This Little Wang seems to be very promising. At least his enthusiasm is right. Even if Yang Ming did not employ him in the future, he could be assigned to Yang Ming’s father or uncle to do things.
Yang Ming was ready to move the car. That little rascal, Li Boliang, might deflate his tires again if he saw that Yang Ming’s car was still parked in front of the teaching building when he exited.
Yang Ming couldn’t keep a lookout beside the car, so it was better to move it to a safe place. In fact, the safest place in school was the parking lot at the entrance, where there were guards on duty. Most people would not cause trouble under their watch.
However, cars without a school pass usually parked there. Those who had a pass like Yang Ming would drive the car into the campus at will. No one would intentionally park in the parking lot in front of the school.
Yang Ming got in the car, started the engine, and drove towards the school gate.
After hearing a brief ringtone, Yang Ming took out his phone. He thought that Sun Jie had called him as her class had finished, but when he glanced at the caller ID, it was an unknown number.
“Yes, hello?” Yang Ming answered the phone.
“Is this Yang Ming?” The person over the phone asked.
“It’s me, who are you?” Yang Ming frowned. He did not know whose voice it was, but it seemed like he had heard it somewhere before.
“I’m Chen Zhiye. I want to talk to you.” The person on the phone did not hide his identity.
Chen Zhiye? Yang Ming was surprised. No wonder the voice is a little familiar. It turns out to be Chen Zhiye, the father of Chen Xiaolong! Although Chen Zhiye didn’t say much at the banquet yesterday, Yang Ming still had some impression of him.
“Is there anything? You can just say it,” Yang Ming said plainly as he didn’t have a good impression of Chen Zhiye.
“I want to meet up with you. Rest assured, you will have unexpected benefits if you come!” said Chen Zhiye.
“Oh? Unexpected benefits?” Yang Ming sneered. Originally, he didn’t want to accept, but after thinking about it, the matter with Chen Zhiye must be resolved. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to beat down Chen Zhiye and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Although Yang Ming was not afraid of conflicts, he thought that Chen Zhiye would be able to learn from his mistakes after Yang Ming taught him a lesson. However, due to the presence of Chen Fei, Yang Ming still suppressed himself as much as possible to not put Chen Fei in a difficult position.
“Yes,” Chen Zhiye smiled. “So, are you interested? Where are you now? I’ll send a car to pick you up!”
“There’s no need. Tell me the place, and I will go there by myself.” Yang Ming was still very indifferent. He was not at all concerned about the so-called benefits.
“Alright, meet me in thirty minutes at the Song Jiang International Hotel, the 1222 Presidential Suite,” said Chen Zhiye.
“Ok,” Yang Ming replied plainly.
Yang Ming clearly knew about the fate of the two bodyguards yesterday. Most probably, when Chen Zhiye also knew about it, he knew that the situation was unfavorable. Since using force didn’t work, he had to use a more diplomatic method. Therefore, he had asked for a meeting.
That so-called great benefit would probably just be something insignificant.
Yang Ming pursed his lips and drove directly to the Song Jiang International Hotel without stopping.
During the day, there were not many cars parked at the hotel’s entrance. Yang Ming simply found a parking space and parked. The newly appointed security captain, Xiao Zhang, was formerly the deputy captain. Little Wang had been promoted today. Although Xiao Zhang was a little envious, he was also excited that he could be promoted to security captain.
“Brother Yang!” Xiao Zhang also knew about Little Wang’s promotion so he quickly ran over to Yang Ming’s car when he saw it in the parking lot.
“Who are you?” Yang Ming asked, looking at Xiao Zhang in the captain’s uniform.
“Brother Yang, I’m the new security captain Xiao Zhang!” Xiao Zhang quickly replied, “This is my contact information. Brother Yang can call me if something happens!”
Xiao Zhang said as he respectfully handed over his business card.
“En.” Yang Ming glanced and nodded to express his understanding. The business card had deputy captain of the hotel’s security team written on it. They probably had not changed it yet.
Xiao Zhang didn’t say much anymore and stepped aside. He didn’t expect to be able to make Yang Ming notice him once more. He had just been promoted to security captain, so he couldn’t expect to be promoted again in the near future.
