Chapter 84

Tang Zhendong was stopped at the entrance of the Hai Cheng Daily newspaper office because he did not have a work permit or an appointment. Although Tang Zhendong could say that he was looking for Yu Qingying, Yu Qingying was the office flower, and the security guard at the entrance was also her secret admirer, so Tang Zhendong was intercepted by a conspiracy.

"Listen, I said you can't enter. If I said you can't enter, you can't enter," one of the two security guards said, his nose in the air, as if being a gatekeeper at the newspaper office made him superior to others.

"Why can't I go in to find someone?"

"Do you think this is a place where just anyone can enter? Let me tell you, this is the newspaper office, where the party newspaper is published. You want to come here to flirt? Don't you know where you are?"

Tang Zhendong looked down at his own clothes. Although his attire was not very neat, it was not shabby. People dressed like him had gone in, so why was he not allowed to enter?

Just as Tang Zhendong was about to force his way in, Wang Xuebin happened to come out of the office building. He immediately saw Tang Zhendong, and the impression of Tang Zhendong was too deep. The day before yesterday, Xu Zhijun had just introduced him to Tang Zhendong's remarkable qualities, and he did not expect to see Tang Zhendong today.

"What's going on?"

"Report to Director Wang, this person said he wanted to go in to find someone. I was afraid it would disturb the work of the newspaper office, so I didn't let him in, but he has been loitering here."

Wang Xuebin knew what was happening as soon as he heard it. Although the rules and regulations of the newspaper office's security were very strict, they were not so strict that no one could enter. After registering at the entrance, one could go in. These two guys were definitely making things difficult for people.

This situation was actually very common among security guards in government agencies, where making things difficult for ordinary people was too normal. In fact, even the leaders of the unit tacitly approved of it because they were afraid of too many people coming to find them, causing trouble. With the security guards as a barrier, most people were kept out.

"Are you Qingying's boyfriend, Xiao Tang? Hello, I'm Wang Xuebin." After hearing what Xu Zhijun said, Wang Xuebin happened to have a matter he wanted to consult with Tang Zhendong.

"Hello, do we know each other?" Tang Zhendong did not recognize Wang Xuebin at all, but since the other person could call him by name, he must have seen him before, or perhaps he had forgotten. However, Tang Zhendong was very confident in his memory; he would not easily forget anyone he had met.

"Hehe, I'm Yu Qingying's supervisor, the chief editor of the editorial department. I led the team to Kongtong Island. Hehe, what do you need from Yu Qingying? Shall we go in and talk?"

Tang Zhendong saw that this person was Yu Qingying's supervisor and had been with him on Kongtong Island, so he was clearly not a stranger. Moreover, the other person's attitude was very good. "Hehe, okay, do I need to register?"

Wang Xuebin glared fiercely at the two security guards and then turned around with a smile, "No need, come in."

"Alright, thank you, Director Wang."

The two security guards were taken aback. They did not expect this person to be not only Yu Qingying's boyfriend but also to know the chief editor of the editorial department. This made them break out in a cold sweat because the look Wang Xuebin gave them contained a threat.

Tang Zhendong remembered the name of the security guard who had made things difficult for him: Ma Jiaoyang. Under the watchful eyes of the two security guards, he followed Wang Xuebin a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around and shouted, "Ma Jiaoyang!"

Tang Zhendong's sudden shout caught Wang Xuebin off guard, and even the other security guard who worked with Ma Jiaoyang did not react. However, Ma Jiaoyang's expression tightened, and then he barked three times like a dog.

This made Wang Xuebin speechless. He already knew that Ma Jiaoyang was deliberately making things difficult for people, although he did not know the specific reason. However, it was too embarrassing for Ma Jiaoyang to be scared into barking like a dog!

But Wang Xuebin thought again, this was not right. This young man, Xiao Tang, did not ask him to bark like a dog; he just suddenly called his name. Wang Xuebin knew a bit about Ma Jiaoyang. His father was an old employee of the newspaper office who, after retirement, arranged for his uneducated son to work there as a successor. However, Ma Jiaoyang was uneducated, and no one in the newspaper office wanted such a person, so he was assigned to the security department.

Ma Jiaoyang was always causing trouble, but he was very respectful to the newspaper office's leaders. He knew how hard it was to get this job, which paid well, even though the title was not very prestigious, it was a public institution position.

He had one attitude towards the leaders and another towards outsiders. Wang Xuebin absolutely did not believe that a person like Ma Jiaoyang, who acted like a thug, would submit to an outsider, even if he appeared to submit on the surface, he was not the type to submit.

The three barks were very strange. After barking, Ma Jiaoyang immediately returned to his usual respectful demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, Wang Xuebin thought of a question: Ma Jiaoyang's sudden abnormal behavior must have been caused by the young man in front of him. Although Wang Xuebin did not know what method this young man used to make Ma Jiaoyang bark like a dog, he was sure that it was this young man who did it. This made him look at the young man with even more respect and feel more confident about his own matter.

Tang Zhendong's move was called "Evening Drum, Morning Bell" in the Ghost Valley School. It involved a sudden shout to invade a person's mind and make them act according to one's will.

Of course, Tang Zhendong's mastery of "Evening Drum, Morning Bell" was still shallow. He could only make someone lose their composure at close range and perform a simple action. According to his master Xu Zhuo, the advanced level of "Evening Drum, Morning Bell" was like the Buddhist chanting, which could purify a person's mind and completely change their character.

This was the advanced level of "Evening Drum, Morning Bell," and Tang Zhendong was far from it. However, this was the first time he had used "Evening Drum, Morning Bell," and he was able to successfully control Ma Jiaoyang's mind, which made him satisfied with the effect of "Evening Drum, Morning Bell."

Ma Jiaoyang, of course, had no idea what Tang Zhendong had done, but the other security guard knew. After Tang Zhendong and Wang Xuebin entered the newspaper office building, he told Ma Jiaoyang what had happened, "Brother Ma, I feel that the young man just now was a bit strange."

"Strange my ass. I didn't like the look of that guy. I'll teach him a lesson later. Old Niu, are you coming with me to teach him a lesson?"

"Brother Ma, I think we should let it go. Don't you remember what you did just now?"

"What did I do? I just made things difficult for him. Damn, a toad thinking about eating swan meat."

The security guard named Old Niu told Ma Jiaoyang about his barking like a dog. Ma Jiaoyang was furious when he heard it, "Damn your grandpa."
