"Next, let's carefully consider the specific cooperation plan!"
"I think this woman, Zhao Feiyan, should be a bit more amenable than Liu Kai Xuan!"
"As long as she is willing to give us face, you two brothers will absolutely be rolling in wealth and raking in money!"
It must be said, that old fellow Yan Bu Gui still had some brains when it came to scheming.
Liu Kai Xuan was now successful, but he certainly wouldn't forget the betrayal of the Yan family in the past.
Even though the Yan family had already suffered the consequences for their mistakes, given Liu Kai Xuan's personality, he would definitely not employ anyone from the Yan family again.
In Liu Kai Xuan's eyes, the Yan family had been definitively labeled as ungrateful wretches.
And once this label was affixed, it was for life.
At this point, if Yan Lao Xi wanted to get things done, he had no choice but to approach Zhao Feiyan for hope.
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Kai Xuan took some time to visit the government compound behind the company.
Zhang Tie Zhu was leading four security guards, running with all their might within the compound.
Among these four security guards was Zhao Da Jun.
Upon seeing Liu Kai Xuan arrive, Zhang Tie Zhu immediately brought the four men who were running over to report their situation.
Zhang Tie Zhu was faring slightly better, but the other four security guards were all panting like cattle and their heads were covered in sweat.
"Attention!"
Zhang Tie Zhu shouted, urging everyone to stand firm.
Liu Kai Xuan looked up at Zhao Da Jun and noticed that the fellow was truly weak.
Due to excessive exertion, Zhao Da Jun was trembling in place, looking completely unsteady.
Zhao Da Jun also noticed Liu Kai Xuan staring at him at this moment.
For a moment, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
In the beginning, Liu Kai Xuan had arranged for Zhao Da Jun to be the deputy captain of the security team at Fierce Tiger Industrial Company.
Zhao Da Jun had been quite pleased at the time, thinking that Liu Kai Xuan was finally starting to look out for him.
Who would have thought that Zhang Tie Zhu was purely a devilish drill sergeant.
They had started running exercises from nine o'clock that morning and had trained almost non-stop until now, with only a 30-minute break in between.
And that 30-minute break was for lunch.
Zhao Da Jun felt as if every bone in his body was about to fall apart.
At this moment, Zhao Da Jun wanted to find Liu Kai Xuan to complain and withdraw from this tedious training.
However, the words churned in his throat for a long time, and in the end, he couldn't utter them.
The reason was that including Zhang Tie Zhu, there were five people participating in the running training.
The others didn't complain about the hardship or fatigue; why should he, Zhao Da Jun, be special at this time?
They were all men, and Zhao Da Jun was the most imposing in stature among them.
If Zhao Da Jun stood out and said he couldn't take it anymore, wouldn't that be admitting he was a good-for-nothing?
Zhao Da Jun had a very prominent characteristic: he valued his reputation!
To say in front of so many people that he "couldn't make it" was definitely a blow to his pride.
Therefore, Zhao Da Jun absolutely could not choose to give up at this moment.
Liu Kai Xuan was playing a psychological game with Zhao Da Jun at this time.
If Zhao Da Jun publicly declared he couldn't endure any longer, Liu Kai Xuan would inevitably scold him severely and order him to persevere.
If Zhao Da Jun stubbornly resisted, then he would have to pack his bags and leave.
However, if Zhao Da Jun chose to grit his teeth and persevere, then things would be easier to handle.
After withdrawing his gaze from Zhao Da Jun, Liu Kai Xuan said loudly, "How is it, has everyone's training today gone smoothly?"
"Overall, it's been quite smooth!"
Zhang Tie Zhu said loudly, "Although these team members have average physical fitness, their perseverance is quite outstanding!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded with satisfaction and then said loudly again.
"Can you all be confident that you can endure this level of training for a month?"
"We are confident!" everyone responded in unison.
But among all the voices, only Zhang Tie Zhu's was loud.
The voices of the other few were all weak, like a group of eggplants that had been hit by frost.
Liu Kai Xuan raised his voice again and asked, "Tell me loudly, do you have confidence?"
"We are confident!"
This time, everyone present replied to Liu Kai Xuan with firm and resonant voices.
"Good!"
Liu Kai Xuan said with a stern tone, "Today's training ends here. You can all get off work early!"
…
As night fell, Chen Yue rode her bicycle home.
Only Zhao Xiao Lan and her younger brother Zhao Da Long were watching television at home. Chen Yue looked around the living room and kitchen but couldn't find Zhao Da Jun.
At this moment, Zhao Xiao Lan suddenly said, "Mom, Dad is so tired from work today, he's already resting!"
"Ah, tired from work?" Chen Yue's brow furrowed.
"It's just being a security guard, how can it be that tiring?"
As she spoke, Chen Yue strode into the bedroom and pushed open the door.
The moment the door opened, a pungent odor of sweat wafted out.
The smell was strong and piercing, making Chen Yue cover her face and exclaim.
"Zhao Da Jun, what are you doing?"
"Your sweat smells so bad, can't you wash your feet before going to bed? Why are you so slovenly!"
Chen Yue entered the room, covering her nose, and turned on the light. She saw Zhao Da Jun collapsed on the bed, only able to breathe.
"Da Jun, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhao Da Jun's pathetic state, Chen Yue was both angry and heartbroken.
"It's just being a security guard at Fierce Tiger Company, how can you be so exhausted?"
"Could it be that that brat Liu Kai Xuan made you carry sacks at the agricultural products company?"
"Alas!"
Zhao Da Jun replied with a bitter face, "He didn't make me carry sacks!"
"But my work today was a hundred times more difficult than carrying sacks!"
"I think that brat Liu Kai Xuan is deliberately targeting me!"
Next, Zhao Da Jun recounted his arduous training day to Chen Yue.
After a torrent of complaints, Chen Yue felt deeply distressed.
"What does Liu Kai Xuan want to do?"
Chen Yue sighed with puzzlement, "If he wants to recruit capable bodyguards, he should just recruit some retired soldiers!"
"Why does he have to pick on us here? Alas!"
Zhao Da Jun replied with resentment, "In my opinion, Liu Kai Xuan just wants to force me out this way!"
"Then, I won't be able to endure it myself and will resign and leave!"
"I won't have any complaints, and he'll have an explanation for Feiyan too!"
Chen Yue then asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I..."
Zhao Da Jun said indignantly, "The more he tries to drive me away, the more I refuse to leave so easily!"
