Chapter 4 Promotion and Salary Increase

Chen Jin Zhao was confused.

What was Yu Meng Zhi up to?

Last night, this woman had told him to resign, and today she was promoting him to be a team captain?

Team One was responsible for the building's security, which was much better than being a guard at the entrance.

Moreover, it was rumored that after becoming a captain, his salary could reach seven to eight thousand, which was almost double for Chen Jin Zhao.

Chen Jin Zhao walked out of the finance office in a daze and returned to the guardroom at the main entrance.

"Xiao Chen, I heard you're resigning? Oh dear, it's hard to find a job these days. Where will you find work if you resign?" Mo Cheng Kun, as someone who had been through it, earnestly advised Chen Jin Zhao not to act impulsively.

Chen Jin Zhao came back to his senses and said to Mo Cheng Kun, "Uncle Mo, why don't you come to the building with me?"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Jin Zhao informed Mo Cheng Kun about his promotion. Old Mo's eyes widened, and then he readily accepted Chen Jin Zhao's invitation.

As a squad leader, Chen Jin Zhao was qualified to select some people from the security team.

The reason Mo Cheng Kun readily accepted Chen Jin Zhao's invitation was not to curry favor, but because he knew that Gou Chen Group was filled with factions, and Chen Jin Zhao, a young man, might not be able to control those old hands.

During the most intense factional struggles, the security department was like a hidden arrow in the hands of others!

Mo Cheng Kun had been a security guard for ten years and knew some inside stories.

Moreover, Chen Jin Zhao usually treated him well, unlike others who called him "old fossil" all the time. Therefore, Mo Cheng Kun intended to help Chen Jin Zhao share some pressure.

As expected.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Jin Zhao was called to the security department office to report, and was officially appointed as the captain of Team One, mainly responsible for the internal security of the building.

In reality, there were rarely any security issues within the building, making it a rather idle position.

The former captain, Liu Wen Yao, became his deputy. Liu Wen Yao was a slick middle-aged man.

Chen Jin Zhao did not see any unhappiness on Liu Wen Yao's face. Instead, Liu Wen Yao served him meticulously, and even patted his chest, promising to strictly enforce security and not cause Chen Jin Zhao any trouble.

Chen Jin Zhao wanted to inspect the building, but Liu Wen Yao stopped him, telling Chen Jin Zhao to stay in the office and enjoy the air conditioning.

Seeing this, Chen Jin Zhao understood.

Liu Wen Yao had been the captain for so long that he had already firmly controlled his former subordinates through various means. This meant that Chen Jin Zhao had been sidelined as soon as he took office, and couldn't even leave his office.

So be it.

Chen Jin Zhao was also happy to have someone help him share the work. He could drink tea, surf the internet, and enjoy the air conditioning in the office while earning a good salary. Why not?

However, Chen Jin Zhao felt that trouble would soon arrive.

Yu Meng Zhi had said she would let him resign, but instead promoted him, indicating that something must have happened last night.

But Chen Jin Zhao hadn't figured it out yet. He would wait for Yu Meng Zhi to come and find him.

As it neared quitting time, Yu Meng Zhi's text message arrived as expected.

Yu Meng Zhi invited Chen Jin Zhao to a restaurant in the city for dinner. Chen Jin Zhao finished work on time and went to the appointment.

On the other side.

Yu Meng Zhi had been listless for the past two days. Her heavy eye makeup couldn't hide her dark circles. As soon as she walked out of her office, she was stopped by Su Jing Hui again. Yu Meng Zhi had no good feelings towards Su Jing Hui now.

The drug from last night was most likely his doing!

If Chen Jin Zhao hadn't appeared in time, she would have fallen into Su Jing Hui's hands.

Wait!

Yu Meng Zhi held her forehead.

She had been "ruined" by Chen Jin Zhao twice, yet she still thought Chen Jin Zhao was better than Su Jing Hui. Was she going crazy?

Indeed, her mind was not quite clear.

Su Jing Hui immediately noticed Yu Meng Zhi's dark circles and said with concern, "Meng Zhi, why did you leave without saying goodbye last night? Are you feeling unwell? How about I accompany you to the hospital after work?"

He was probing Yu Meng Zhi to see if she was suspicious.

Last night, Su Jing Hui had gone to a nightclub and tried again. He found that the drug was indeed fine, but why was Yu Meng Zhi unaffected?

He had heard that if not properly released, it could cause nerve damage, and in severe cases, impair bodily functions.

A hint of disgust flashed in Yu Meng Zhi's eyes and quickly disappeared.

However, she said with a smile, "What could happen to me? I just felt a bit dizzy, so I went back and fell asleep. I've already seen a doctor, and they said it's just some mental issue, nothing serious."

Su Jing Hui's heart stirred. Mental issue?

That makes sense!

The drug should have taken effect, but the dosage was insufficient. So, Su Jing Hui decided to try again.

Su Jing Hui then invited Yu Meng Zhi to dinner again. Yu Meng Zhi politely declined several times. Su Jing Hui had to make other plans, otherwise, it would be easy for Yu Meng Zhi to see through his deception.

However, he was determined to have Yu Meng Zhi and was not in a hurry.

Yu Meng Zhi glanced at the time and hurried to the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Chen Jin Zhao.

Seven o'clock sharp.

Yu Meng Zhi arrived on time.

When she saw Chen Jin Zhao, dressed in his security uniform, sitting by the window, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This idiot, why was he dressed like that?

Didn't Chen Jin Zhao know this was a high-end Western restaurant?

She sat down and said to Chen Jin Zhao, "Knowing it's a date, didn't you bother to change your clothes?"

"Huh? Are we on a date?" Chen Jin Zhao blinked.

Yu Meng Zhi had spoken too quickly and made a mistake. She waved her hand and said, "Never mind. If I ask you to come out in the future, don't wear this security uniform again. If you don't find it embarrassing, I do. Understand?"

Chen Jin Zhao was a little dazed.

Just two days ago, he was just a mediocre security guard. Now, he was having a date with the group's female president?

This restaurant had excellent privacy, which was why Yu Meng Zhi had chosen to meet Chen Jin Zhao here.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not used to the atmosphere here," Chen Jin Zhao said. He considered himself a rough fellow, not suited for such elegant occasions.

Yu Meng Zhi glanced at Chen Jin Zhao and nodded slightly, saying, "You're not stupid. My decision to keep you was well-considered. Last night, my family wanted me to enter into an arranged marriage with someone from a very influential background. If it were successful, my Yu family would prosper for another hundred years."

Chen Jin Zhao felt annoyed listening to this.

Yu Meng Zhi was, in fact, his first woman. Knowing the huge gap between them, he still felt an inexplicable sense of restlessness.

He said in a low voice, "Since President Yu has said so, it must be that the other party's background is immense, and marrying him is naturally the most suitable choice for you."

"You're lying," Yu Meng Zhi stared into Chen Jin Zhao's eyes.

Chen Jin Zhao met Yu Meng Zhi's clear gaze, and his little hidden thoughts were exposed. He blushed slightly and quickly averted his gaze, stubbornly saying, "I'm telling the truth."

"Heh heh..."

"The hardest thing about you is your mouth," Yu Meng Zhi chuckled lightly.

Chen Jin Zhao felt awkward and didn't intend to argue with a woman.

Yu Meng Zhi pressed her advantage, staring into Chen Jin Zhao's eyes and smiling, "I smell something sour, and it seems to be coming from you."

"Are you jealous?"
