Chapter 11

As the other party was silenced by the pressure, Minister Dong, proud like a peacock, slightly twisted her fair neck and commanded the two customer service sisters with a condescending tone: "Drive away the irrelevant people and throw out this chair."

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li faced her trembling, like two frightened quails, looking at Lin Zixian with apologetic eyes, hoping he would be sensible and not make them difficult. It was not easy for them to find a good job, and they did not want to offend anyone.

Lin Zixian knew he was in the wrong. He was not an unreasonable person. If the other party had something to say, he would have admitted his mistake and avoided the situation. He planned to wait for them to leave and then return to continue entertaining the beautiful women, so he stood aside without speaking.

However, he found that this Ms. Dong was too overbearing. Her words were laced with insults, and her high-and-mighty attitude made it seem as if even the Queen of England was only fit to tie her shoes. She was a living model of a despicable person, and it was unclear where she got such despicable qualifications.

Duan Jiye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was about to endure the humiliation and call Lin Zixian to temporarily avoid the confrontation, as he could not afford to provoke this woman.

But Lin Zixian suddenly spoke up with a righteous tone: "Minister Dong, please do not make a fuss and cooperate with our work."

Everyone present was taken aback, unsure of his reasoning. Minister Dong was also stunned, then sneered with some anger: "I am making a fuss? You, a group of gatekeepers, do not even guard the gate properly, and you dare to accuse me of making a fuss?"

As soon as she said this, the security guards in the hall turned red with anger, clenching their teeth and glaring at her. With one sentence, she had offended the entire security department.

Lin Zixian's eyelid twitched, and he wanted to kick her to the West or sell her to Africa to serve the people there. However, sometimes being tough was not the solution; he had to stand on the side of reason.

He warned again: "Minister Dong, under the leadership of Minister Duan and myself, the Security Department is conducting a safety inspection of the entire company, including the customer service front desk. If you continue to obstruct our work, I have reason to suspect your ulterior motives. Be careful, or I will not be gentle with you!"

"Are you going to be rough with me?" Minister Dong's noble face twisted, and her eyes behind the glasses flashed with venom, as if she had been greatly insulted. She roared: "Security! Security! Where are the security guards? Get him out of here..."

As soon as she said this, she was stunned. The person in front of her was wearing a new and conspicuous security uniform. He was a security guard, and even a leader among them. It seemed unrealistic to have the security guards remove their own leader.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li tried hard to suppress their laughter, lowering their heads. They did not dare to laugh in front of their superior.

Duan Jiye's mouth was tightly pursed, and he picked up a company promotional brochure from the front desk, trying to look serious. Since Minister Lin had already started a direct confrontation with Minister Dong, he decided to just watch the show.

He was not worried that Minister Lin would be at a disadvantage. After all, even the chairman had to flatter this person, so her background must be significant, and she should have the strength to match Minister Dong.

However, a security guard in the hall had a low tolerance for laughter and finally burst out with a "pfft."

The security guards felt relieved and stood firm, ignoring Minister Dong's commands. They had just been called watchdogs and were not about to listen to her again. Besides, in this situation, if the sky fell, the tall ones would bear the brunt, and they had nothing to worry about.

Instead, they secretly admired someone. Minister Lin was indeed impressive, as he had managed to confuse this woman with just a few words.

The new Minister Lin's prestige instantly soared in their minds. They would probably be willing to go through fire and water for him.

Lin Zixian himself was somewhat taken aback. He had seen despicable people, but never one who wore the label of despicable so proudly.

A smile crept onto his lips, and he cleared his throat seriously: "Minister Dong, this is my final warning. Please step aside temporarily. The Security Department needs to conduct a safety inspection of the customer service front desk. If you do not cooperate, I will have to have you forcibly removed. As a member of the company, the safety of the company is the safety of all employees, and it concerns the future of the company. The Security Department has a sacred and inescapable mission. Please understand and cooperate with our work."

Ms. Dong was so angry that she trembled, her face alternating between red and white. She could not find a way to counter his reasonable arguments.

But she, accustomed to being high and mighty, could not bear to be bullied by a security guard. She was so angry that she lost her composure, forgetting her dignity, and pointed at Lin Zixian's nose, snarling: "Try to touch me!"

"Damn!" Lin Zixian sneered, waving his hand grandly at the security guards in the hall: "Get some people!"

Five patrolling security guards immediately ran over and surrounded the customer service front desk. Lin Zixian looked around, feeling a bit smug. He realized that being the deputy minister of the Security Department was quite enjoyable, as he had some enforcement power within the company, which was enough to deal with a hooligan.

Lin Zixian walked out of the customer service front desk, not looking back, and ordered with authority: "Given that Minister Dong is obstructing the normal duties of the Security Department, I will file a complaint with the company's executives. However, for now, to ensure the smooth operation of the Security Department, we must bravely fight against any evil forces and eliminate any interference... Take Minister Dong to the Security Department's detention room to rest until we have completed the safety inspection of the customer service front desk."

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li looked at each other in shock, their eyes wide open. They could not believe that Deputy Minister Lin was serious.

Duan Jiye frowned, hesitating to speak. He knew this was not a good idea and should have intervened, but considering Lin Zixian's background and the fact that he was not the one dealing with Minister Dong, he could not afford to offend either side. Moreover, Minister Dong had indeed been too overbearing. If he showed weakness now, how would his subordinates view him? So he remained silent.

"Minister Dong, please!"

The five security guards surrounded Minister Dong. Although they were angry with her, they still maintained a polite demeanor, as they had heard about her background and did not want to go too far.

"Rebellion, rebellion..." Minister Dong pointed at the security guards, her chest heaving with anger. Suddenly, she lunged at Lin Zixian, her sharp fingers like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, aiming for his face, as if she was ready to fight to the death.

Pulling hair and scratching faces were women's signature moves, with considerable power. Any man who fell victim to them would be embarrassed.

However, who was Deputy Minister Lin? He could not be taken down by a woman. His reaction was faster, and before anyone could see what happened, he had pulled out a stun gun from a security guard's belt, and it made a "buzzing" sound.

The stun gun was jabbed into Minister Dong's abdomen, and blue arcs flashed twice. Her forward momentum stopped, and she rolled her eyes, collapsing to the ground.

"Ah..." Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li gasped, covering their mouths.

Duan Jiye was stunned, and the security guards in the hall were dumbfounded, all shocked by Deputy Minister Lin's boldness. He had actually used a stun gun on the prestigious Minister Dong, acting decisively and bravely, even against a woman.

"I don't want to hit women, but that doesn't mean I won't use a stun gun on them." Lin Zixian sneered, waving the stun gun: "Take her to the detention room."

The security guards looked at each other, then reluctantly carried Minister Dong away. Lin Zixian looked up at the surveillance camera in the hall, holding the stun gun, giving the impression that he might use it again in private.

Duan Jiye shook his head, feeling as if he was in a dream. He quickly caught up with Lin Zixian and whispered anxiously: "Minister Lin, this isn't right! How will we explain this to the company? And her brother-in-law is the deputy chief of the police, we can't afford to provoke him!"

"Nothing to fear, I'll take responsibility." Lin Zixian put his arm around Duan Jiye's neck and whispered: "During our lunch discussion, the surveillance cameras in the hall just happened to be broken, so nothing was recorded. The Security Department then conducted a safety inspection, and the cameras only started working again when Minister Dong arrived, recording her arrogant behavior... Go to the surveillance room and delete the footage. Also, organize a thorough safety inspection of the customer service front desk, making sure it is recorded. This will be evidence of our diligent work."

"Uh... Okay!" Duan Jiye looked helpless, now in the same boat as Lin Zixian. If Lin Zixian was at fault, he could not avoid responsibility. He suddenly remembered something and smiled bitterly: "We can handle our own people, but what about Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li at the front desk? If the company investigates and they say there was no safety inspection, only a lunch discussion, won't it be exposed?"

"Don't worry, they're not fools. Just give them a hint, and they'll understand. If Minister Dong finds out they were chatting with me, their enemy, during work hours, they'll be fired. As for what happened after Minister Dong arrived, let them tell the truth. We are on the right side, and she was bullying us. We have the surveillance footage as evidence. Don't be afraid of such a small matter." Lin Zixian patted him reassuringly.
