Silence!
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Inside the security department, all the security guards stared wide-eyed, dumbfoundedly looking at Li Mu and Wang Chao, completely stupefied.
Li Mu, the arrogant and overbearing young master, has always been proud and disdainful, with no regard for anyone, let alone these small security guards.
Now, this wealthy young man is holding Wang Chao's hand, warmly, friendly, and excited, as if he has met a good friend of many years.
This is simply unbelievable!
"Am I seeing things?"
"Is this really Li Mu? Why is he so friendly to Wang Chao?"
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, hardly believing their own eyes.
Li Mu, who was once so arrogant, is now inviting Wang Chao to dinner at his place, and even calling him "brother"?
"Invite me to dinner?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"Yes, Brother Chao, you must come no matter what this time," Li Mu held onto Wang Chao's hand, exuding warmth and enthusiasm, eager to take Wang Chao to a hotel for dinner.
He had been pursuing Shen Bing for a long time, using all kinds of tricks, but Shen Bing was always disgusted with him.
Last time, when Wang Chao told him some methods to pursue Shen Bing, he followed Wang Chao's advice, and indeed, Shen Bing's attitude towards him improved during this period.
Yesterday, he invited Shen Bing out for dinner alone, and Shen Bing unexpectedly agreed!
This was the first time Shen Bing had agreed to his request for a private dinner.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
After waking up, he came to find Wang Chao for advice right away.
At this moment, in his eyes, Wang Chao was his strategist in pursuing Shen Bing.
"I'm at work, I can't leave now, let's talk after work," Wang Chao said calmly.
"What work? My matter is much more urgent than your work. I'll help you ask for a leave from President Shen, and the two of us brothers must have a good drink this time," Li Mu became anxious on the spot.
"What's so urgent, Young Master Li?" Wang Chao asked curiously.
Li Mu glanced around and then whispered in Wang Chao's ear, "President Shen agreed to have dinner with me tonight, and I want to ask you, what kind of flowers should I give her, and what kind of clothes should I wear?"
Before Wang Chao could say anything, his phone rang. It was Shen Bing's secretary's voice, "In fifteen minutes, all the leaders must come to the 10th floor for a meeting. No one can be absent."
After speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
Wang Chao held his phone and looked at Li Mu, saying, "Young Master Li, I'm sorry, I have a meeting to attend. Let's talk about our dinner later when I finish work."
Li Mu frowned, wanting to say something.
"Young Master Li, President Shen doesn't like this kind of behavior from you. Moreover, I'm President Shen's employee. If I skip work to have lunch with you, what do you think she will think?" Wang Chao asked.
Li Mu's expression changed, and he immediately put on a smiling face. "Okay, okay, Brother Chao, you make the decisions. I'll wait for you outside. Let's have lunch together and not be late."
"Okay, you go out first. Don't disturb me while I'm working." Wang Chao waved his hand.
"Sure, I'll come pick you up after work."
Li Mu didn't show any arrogance, smiled and left. He obediently waited outside the security room, smoking and waiting quietly for Wang Chao to finish work.
The security guards were all stunned.
How was this possible?
Li Mu was even calling Wang Chao his brother!
How did he manage that?
"Don't just stand there, it's time to patrol. Go work." Wang Chao swept his eyes over them.
Only then did Wang Hongyao and the other security guards react, quickly leaving.
Chen Yong stood far away, gritting his teeth and looking particularly ugly. "Damn, what did Wang Chao do to Li Mu? Why is Li Mu so good to him?"
He had originally wanted to see Li Mu create a scene in the security department and beat up Wang Chao. But now he saw the rich young master behaving so respectfully in front of Wang Chao, obeying his every word.
This made him even more annoyed, and he hated Wang Chao even more.
He glared at Wang Chao fiercely before turning around and leaving.
Little Wang had originally wanted to go on patrol, but in the end, he gathered up the courage to ask, "Brother Chao, what did you do to Young Master Li?"
"Nothing much, just taught him a few moves." Wang Chao said.
Little Wang was skeptical, but he didn't dare to ask any more. He immediately followed behind Chen Yong and ran off to patrol the company.
Wang Chao looked at Chen Yong's back and a coldness flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, "It seems that I need to have a good talk with this Chen Yong."
He could tell that Chen Yong still harbored resentment towards him and would surely set traps for him behind his back.
It's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.
Although he isn't afraid of Chen Yong causing trouble, dealing with this would be quite troublesome.
Instead of letting things go and waiting for Chen Yong to strike, it would be better to take the initiative and talk to him, and properly handle the situation.
Wang Chao remained calm, took the deputy minister's work badge on the table, wore it around his neck, closed the door, and went to patrol the area he used to be in charge of before heading straight to the meeting room on the tenth floor.
At this moment, the conference room on the tenth floor was filled with leaders from various levels of the Dan Feng Group.
President Shen Bing sat in the center, and Vice President Shen Dongshan sat next to him.
In addition, there were many bosses from the administrative department, the general manager of the sales department, the head of the R&D department, Liu Yifei, and so on.
There were more than a hundred people present, sitting in two circles.
The first circle consisted of the heads of the various departments, with a strict hierarchy and clear status.
After Wang Chao entered, he sat in the last empty seat on the back row.
The security department was the least popular logistics department in the Dan Feng Group and had a very low status within the company.
Although Wang Chao was a deputy minister and sounded impressive, in the entire leadership of the Dan Feng Group, he was a small role who couldn't be taken seriously.
His position was also the most inconspicuous in the conference room.
He Xingdong sat in front of Wang Chao and turned back to give him a cold and contemptuous look.
As soon as Wang Chao sat down, Vice President Shen Dongshan glared at him with a hostile look and said coldly, "We're all sitting here waiting for a small role like you, Wang Chao. You have no sense of propriety! You have such great authority!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone's gaze immediately fell on Wang Chao.
"Who is Wang Chao? Why haven't I heard of this name before?"
"I don't know. Judging from his security uniform, he should be from the security department."
"Wang Chao, the deputy director of the security department appointed by President Shen, just took office yesterday. Don't you know?"
"We, the managers, have all arrived early, but he is the last one to come. He is really impolite."
"That's right. He's just a small character as small as an ant. How dare he come so late? No wonder Vice President Shen Dongshan is angry."
"Vice President Shen Dongshan is known for his strictness. He dared to be late for the meeting just after taking office, which angered Vice President Shen Dongshan. I don't think he will stay in his position as deputy director for long."
Many people looked at Wang Chao with schadenfreude, feeling sorry for him.
He Xingdong sneered, ready to enjoy the show.
Shen Dongshan is his uncle. Before the meeting, he talked to Shen Dongshan, wanting to give Wang Chao a lesson and severely degrade him in this meeting, making him lose face and unable to show his face again.
When Shen Bing heard this, her face sank.
Wang Chao was the deputy director she appointed. Shen Dongshan was berating Wang Chao in front of everyone, which seemed to be belittling Wang Chao, but in fact, it was a slap in the face for her.
Just as Shen Bing was about to speak, Wang Chao looked at Shen Dongshan and asked, "Who are you?"
"Insolent!"
He Xingdong stood up on the spot and reprimanded Wang Chao, "The person who is talking to you is Shen Dongshan, the president of our Danfeng Group. Wang Chao, what kind of attitude do you have towards your superiors?"
"Apologize to President Shen immediately!"
"Why should I apologize?" Wang Chao replied calmly.
"President Shen and a group of leaders arrived at the meeting room first, but you came last. It's obvious that you don't respect your superiors and have no manners. Moreover, you don't even know your superiors, which is disrespectful. You must apologize!" He Xingdong was furious.
