Chu Nianxue directly picked up the folder from the desk and held it in front of her. She knew exactly how shameless and rogue Lin Xiaotian could be, especially when he said he wanted a small reward.
She had no idea what excessive things he might do then!
"No, get out quickly. I need to work now, and you being here will affect my work."
Lin Xiaotian grinned mischievously, "Wife, you're being too much. I've already helped you accomplish such a big task, and you're unwilling to give me even a small reward? Even if I were your employee, after closing a deal, shouldn't you give me a commission or something?"
"I definitely don't want money. Since you've asked me to help you in the company, you must give me enough benefits. You want the horse to run but don't want it to eat grass – how can that work?"
Chu Nianxue lowered the folder a bit, leaving only her beautiful eyes visible.
Her gaze was filled with a thick smile, "I just want to be a stingy boss right now. Get out quickly, there are no rewards."
Lin Xiaotian stood up, his mischievous smile becoming even more pronounced. With a swift movement, he snatched the folder away and planted a firm kiss on Chu Nianxue's cheek.
"If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself!"
"And I plan to take more rewards. Otherwise, if your stingy boss self wants me to handle things next time, I'll have to demand the reward in advance."
Chu Nianxue gently punched Lin Xiaotian's shoulder with her small hand, "Are you satisfied now? Hurry up and get out."
Lin Xiaotian let go. He knew he shouldn't push his luck too far, or his wife might genuinely get angry.
As he walked out of the office, he saw the young secretary standing by the door with a slight blush on her face. The office door hadn't been fully closed, leaving a crack, just enough to see Lin Xiaotian doing something mischievous inside.
"Little girl, were you peeking just now?"
"I wasn't!" the secretary exclaimed, her face flushed, and she ran away.
Lin Xiaotian called out from behind, "Do you have any work to report? It's not good to delay work by running away now."
The secretary covered her face and ran back, giving Lin Xiaotian a playful glare before rushing into the office.
Lin Xiaotian, hands behind his back, sauntered to the company entrance and then sat in Captain Ma's security office.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here today?" Captain Ma poured him a cup of tea, and they began to chat.
"Old Ma, how's the company doing lately? Have any clueless petty thieves tried to cause trouble?"
"You should be extra vigilant these days. Something big might happen any day now."
Hearing Lin Xiaotian's words, Captain Ma was slightly taken aback, then grew serious, "Mr. Lin, have you received some information? Is someone eyeing the contents of our company's vault?"
"But even if I'm careful, it's no use. Our company's security force is limited, and even if they take us all down, it's still useless. I don't have the key to the vault."
"The current safe requires President Chu's iris scan and fingerprints."
"No one can get in except President Chu."
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I'm not talking about the safety of antiques, but about our other employees."
"You definitely need to be more concerned about things within the company. Someone was causing trouble inside our company this time, but they were apprehended by people I had arranged in advance."
"Perhaps you haven't even seen the surveillance footage."
Captain Ma was stunned upon hearing this and shook his head with a wry smile, "Impossible. I specifically arranged for two security personnel to monitor the surveillance room constantly. If anything happened, they would have notified me via walkie-talkie immediately."
"So far, there hasn't been any movement from that end, and the surveillance is definitely not broken."
"Even if any surveillance equipment malfunctions, it's repaired immediately, and the incident is recorded in a logbook."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled, "How about we go take a look now?"
"Alright!" Captain Ma was a little unconvinced. He couldn't believe his employees were so incompetent.
If people had already been caught, surely his employees would have noticed?
The company relied entirely on surveillance. If it only depended on patrols, it wouldn't be very effective, as the company couldn't afford to hire too many security guards.
The two walked to the basement, where the surveillance room was located.
Captain Ma knocked on the door, but there was no response. His expression changed immediately.
He knew very well that if there was no response, it meant the people inside had fallen asleep or something had happened.
He quickly took out his key and opened the surveillance room door. Entry was strictly forbidden without a key.
As soon as the door opened, he saw two employees slumped inside. He hurried over to check.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Inhaled anesthetic. They should wake up in about two to three hours."
Hearing this, Captain Ma looked at Lin Xiaotian with suspicion. He even suspected Lin Xiaotian was behind this.
Otherwise, how would Lin Xiaotian know it was inhaled anesthetic just by glancing at the entrance?
Lin Xiaotian could see what Captain Ma was thinking and his smile widened, "You can watch the surveillance playback yourself, and then you'll know what happened."
Captain Ma didn't delay, just nodded, and went to play back the surveillance footage. Soon, he understood the problem. It turned out someone had indeed broken in, and in the underground parking lot, those people were clearly armed and ready to act. However, from somewhere, several men in black appeared and dealt with them all.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his gaze turned fearful, "These people are truly audacious. I never expected them to make a move in broad daylight, and armed at that."
"If I had let them break in, our company might have been in serious trouble."
"Fortunately, Mr. Lin, you made preparations in advance. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Lin Xiaotian smiled, "I can't always be prepared, so you still need to be extra vigilant. I'm just giving you a heads-up."
"There are still many loopholes here. I'll point them out to you today and have you implement cross-patrols according to my methods."
He then pointed out some issues directly to Captain Ma, all for the sake of the company's safety.
While he was discussing these matters with Captain Ma, his gaze suddenly fell upon the surveillance monitors.
