Chapter 4: Who Are You Looking For?

5 min read1,202 words

"Sir, who are you looking for?" After taking a few steps, Lin Yi was stopped by the security guard of the building.

"Just a moment, let me check." Lin Yi thought to himself, still a big city, with proper security. However, this security guard was just for show, not even as capable as Ergouzi.

Ergouzi was a playmate of Lin Yi's. Although he didn't know martial arts, one punch from him could kill a bull. In Lin Yi's eyes, this security guard was far inferior to a bull, not even as strong.

Lin Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at the words on it, and said, "I'm looking for Chu Pengzhan."

"Chu Pengzhan? Who is he? Why does this name sound so familiar?" The security guard was taken aback, muttering the name to himself.

"The chairman!" The other, older security guard, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly, immediately realizing who Chu Pengzhan was. He was startled and quickly tugged at the other security guard's sleeve, whispering, "Don't talk nonsense, or the captain will hear and fire you!"

"Ah!" The security guard, upon hearing the older guard's words, was suddenly frightened, his eyes wide open, regretting his earlier words. "What was I thinking, talking nonsense? Now, I don't even recognize the chairman. What kind of security guard am I? Who am I supposed to protect?"

However, the security guard looked at Lin Yi's attire, his eyes darting around, and suddenly felt less afraid. No matter how he looked at Lin Yi, he didn't seem like someone who could be related to the chairman. One was the chairman of a world-class large group, and the other was a migrant worker from the countryside. There seemed to be no connection at all.

This kid must be from a construction site, coming to complain to the chairman. Thinking of this, the security guard immediately became more alert. He had just watched a similar movie a few days ago, called "Owe Me 105,000," where a migrant worker went to the chairman to demand money.

Thinking of this, the security guard and the older guard exchanged glances, clearly having the same thought.

"What do you want with Chairman Chu?" The older guard cleared his throat, staring at Lin Yi seriously, afraid he might do something extreme.

"It's not me looking for him, it's my old man who told me to find him." Lin Yi said lazily. He didn't care about his employer's status in reality; they were all just people asking him for help.

"Hmm? Your old man?" Hearing Lin Yi's words, the two security guards were even more convinced. In the movie, the migrant worker was demanding money for his brother. This kid must be demanding money for his father.

"Enough, stop wasting time. Just tell me which floor Chu Pengzhan is on, and I'll go find him!" Lin Yi didn't have time to waste on these two small security guards. He needed to see the person in charge as soon as possible.

"The chairman isn't here, you should leave..." The older guard looked at Lin Yi again, confirming that he had no connection to the chairman, and directly told him to leave.

Lin Yi didn't want to waste time with these two. He could see their thoughts in their eyes. They were just looking down on him because of his appearance. What a low opinion!

"Since he's not here, I'll go in and wait for him!" Lin Yi said and walked into the company.

"Wait, you can't go in!" The two security guards, not expecting Lin Yi to force his way in, hurriedly tried to stop him.

At that moment, the elevator on the first floor opened, and a slightly plump middle-aged man and a somewhat thin and dark middle-aged man walked out.

"By now, it should be about the right time. Why hasn't Lin Yi contacted me yet? Li Fu, why don't you go to the station to pick him up? You've seen the photo, right?" The slightly plump middle-aged man instructed the thin and dark middle-aged man.

"Sure, Mr. Chen, I'll go right away." Li Fu said respectfully.

Before Li Fu could leave, Chu Pengzhan heard the argument at the entrance and frowned, telling Li Fu, "Go see what's happening first."

"What's happening?" Li Fu quickly walked to the entrance and saw the two security guards blocking a young man from entering the company.

"Uncle Fu, this person says he's looking for the chairman and is trying to force his way in..." The security guards recognized Li Fu. Although he had no specific administrative position in the company, he was the chairman's closest confidant. If he had to describe his position, he was the chairman's driver.

However, everyone in the company knew that Li Fu was more than just a driver. So the security guards treated him with the respect due to a leader.

In many cases, Li Fu's words represented the chairman's will.

"You..." Li Fu looked at Lin Yi, his eyes wide with surprise, "You are Lin Yi?"

"Yes." Lin Yi glanced at Li Fu and nodded. Since Li Fu appeared, he had been paying attention to him. By instinct, this person was not Chu Pengzhan. As the chairman of a large group, one naturally exuded an aura of authority, but this person did not, though he was serious and respected, one's aura cannot be changed.

"Hello!" Li Fu knew how much Chu Pengzhan valued the young man in front of him. After confirming Lin Yi's identity, he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly extended his hand to shake Lin Yi's: "I am the chairman's secretary, Li Fu. The chairman was about to send me to the train station to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to already be here!"

"No problem, it's just a chance to familiarize myself with the place." Lin Yi smiled and shook Li Fu's hand. Lin Yi's personality was such that if you respected him, he would respect you. Seeing Li Fu's politeness, Lin Yi felt a bit embarrassed.

"The chairman is over there. Please follow me, let's go see the chairman." Li Fu made a gesture inviting Lin Yi to follow and led the way.

The two security guards stared at Lin Yi's back, their mouths agape in surprise.

"Is he really the chairman's guest?" The young security guard muttered in disbelief.

"Uncle Fu came to pick him up, so there's no mistake!" The older security guard sighed, "We almost offended him. Thank goodness Uncle Fu came in time. If we had really driven him away, we would be in big trouble!"

As Li Fu approached, Lin Yi began to pay attention to the other slightly plump middle-aged man not far away. If his guess was correct, this was the person he was looking for, the chairman of Pengzhan Group, Chu Pengzhan.

"Lin Yi, right?" As Lin Yi followed Li Fu, Chu Pengzhan also walked over, extending his hand warmly.
