Chapter 50: Chapter 049: The Security Guard Who Dares to Sleep in a Meeting

As noon approached eleven o’clock, leaders from various departments of Murong Group’s headquarters congregated directly in the third-floor conference room.

If it were a high-level meeting, someone of Qin Tian’s status would definitely not be able to attend, and, in fact, even for mid-level meetings, the Security Department did not qualify to participate. After all, the Security Department was subordinate to the CEO’s office, and it was sufficient for the director of the CEO’s office to attend the meeting.

But unexpectedly, today Qin Tian received a call instructing him to attend the meeting, and it was not just him, the deputy team leader Sun Shuai was also required to participate.

At eleven o’clock in the morning, all the meeting participants gathered in the third-floor conference room.

A conference table approximately two meters wide and six meters long was completely filled with people, and there were even people who took a second row of seats, which was the equivalent of sitting in on the meeting.

Of course, with Qin Tian’s status, he was one of those sitting in the back row.

Directly in the front, an eye-catching seat remained vacant; Murong Fei had not yet arrived.

Squeak!

As everyone whispered among themselves, the door to the conference room opened, and Murong Fei walked in confidently, followed by her secretary Wang Yu.

Murong Fei was dressed in a white shirt and high heels, with her hair done up with classic, elegant hair ornaments. When she walked in, her gaze was icy cold, her face expressionless, displaying an unmistakable CEO’s demeanor.

What had been a somewhat noisy conference room fell silent as soon as Murong Fei made her entrance.

Murong Fei walked straight past Qin Tian without giving him a single glance.

Qin Tian smelled the familiar scent of her perfume but felt as if Murong Fei had completely changed from the person he had massaged last night.

She sat down, and Wang Yu, holding a notebook, took a seat behind her.

”Is everyone present?”

After sitting, Murong Fei’s eyes turned toward Xue Ting sitting in the middle of the conference table, the director of the CEO’s office.

Xue Ting nodded, ”Everyone is present.”

”Good, let’s begin the meeting. Today, this meeting will focus on two issues. First, the issue of attracting commercial investment for Murong Mall—today, the CEO’s office, combined with the planning department, must come up with a plan. Manager Wang, please introduce the current specifics of attracting investment for Murong Mall.”

Murong Fei spoke with an emotionless face and then turned her gaze towards a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, in his forties, was the manager of the Murong Group’s planning department. He stood up and began explaining the specifics of attracting investment for Murong Mall.

Then, the executives seated in the front row began to offer their suggestions and murmured among themselves.

Sitting at the back, Qin Tian struggled to keep awake, thinking to himself, what am I doing here if you’re all discussing such matters? I didn’t sleep well last night.

So, while everyone in the front was engaged in heated discussion, Qin Tian actually fell asleep right in his seat.

”Team Leader Qin!”

”Qin Tian!”

Just as Qin Tian was slipping in and out of sleep, a sudden voice reached his ears; someone was calling him, the voice was persistent, it seemed to be Wang Yu.

Qin Tian opened his eyes to find all eyes in the conference room on him.

Especially Murong Fei in the center, her countenance was as cold as ice, tinged with a touch of anger.

”Team Leader Qin, we are in the middle of a meeting and you have the nerve to sleep? Hah, you truly don’t hold any of us here in high regard, do you?” Wang Tianming, the deputy general manager, said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery.

Qin Tian remembered this person who had tried to defend Huang Zhenggang during their last altercation. Now, he was piling on, kicking him while he was down.

”Oh, I’m all brawn and no brains, I don’t understand these discussions, so I closed my eyes to ponder about my own work. Heh, the matters of the executive leadership, for a Security Department deputy team leader like me, I don’t think I have any say, right?” Qin Tian stretched and said.

Seeing Qin Tian’s lackadaisical reaction, everyone in the office furrowed their brows.

Usually, if someone fell asleep during a meeting and was awoken, they would apologize and show some embarrassment, but Qin Tian showed no sign of remorse, instead, he seemed almost triumphant.

To think, this was happening during an all-staff managerial meeting with President Murong Fei present!

All eyes turned to Murong Fei.

Murong Fei’s temperament was well-known to everyone, and at that moment, her anger could not have been more apparent.

There had been instances before where Murong Fei had fired employees on the spot during meetings.

So now, everyone was wondering whether Qin Tian would be summarily dismissed by Murong Fei?

If he were to be fired, it would be quite the joke—Qin Tian had just reported for duty that morning, and if he were to be sent away before noon, it would create an embarrassing record for the company.

Murong Fei stared at Qin Tian for a moment, her lips pursed as if taking a deep breath to calm her anger, and said indifferently, ”Team Leader Qin, the security for East Park will be entrusted to the Security Department. What do you think?”

Oh!

When Murong Fei said this, everyone at the conference table was taken aback. What was going on? Murong Fei hadn’t exploded with rage? Qin Tian had slept during the meeting, and she was just going to let it slide?

Everyone was incredulous, but no one dared to object to Murong Fei’s words.

”Oh, sure, I will follow the leadership’s arrangements,” Qin Tian said nonchalantly.

In fact, from the moment he decided to start his own company, he was resolved to just go through the motions at Murong Group to fulfill his promise to the old man. His main focus would undoubtedly be on rebuilding Dragon Soul.

”Ms. Murong, regarding the security issue at East Park, I’m willing to take full responsibility. I guarantee there will be absolutely no problems,”

Qin Tian had just finished speaking when Sun Shuai, who was sitting next to him, immediately started thumping his chest to volunteer. By the look of him, he was ready to show off and make a great contribution.

”Captain Sun, East Park is a bit chaotic, are you sure you can do a good job?”

Hearing Sun Shuai’s self-recommendation, Murong Fei didn’t agree right away but asked instead.

”Ms. Murong, rest assured, although I, Sun Shuai, don’t have the same social connections as Huang Zhenggang had in society before, I do have some friends. In the area around East Park, I’m confident that nothing will go wrong.”

Now that he had volunteered himself, Sun Shuai spoke with great confidence, as if he were the most important person in the world.

”Alright, the security of East Park is in your hands then. Captain Sun, do your best.”

After hesitating for a moment, Murong Fei’s gaze inadvertently glanced at Qin Tian, and upon seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she agreed to Sun Shuai’s self-recommendation.

”I guarantee to complete the mission!”

Sun Shuai declared boldly.

The meeting ended around twelve o’clock, and everyone headed directly from the conference room to the company canteen.

”Captain Qin, you seem very relaxed, haha, not bad at all, I really like your attitude.”

As they were almost at the canteen, Sun Shuai walked side by side with Qin Tian and grinned at him.

”What’s this, Captain Sun? You seem quite pleased with yourself. Could it be that you’re about to become a father?” Qin Tian glanced at Sun Shuai and quipped.

”Heh, can’t you tell?”

Sun Shuai had an arrogant look about him, ”If I handle the security issue at East Park well, I think, for the next position of head of the Security Department... you’ll just have to watch me ascend.”

So that was his goal, the position of head of the Security Department.

Qin Tian gave Sun Shuai a bored look, ”I see, well then, let me congratulate you in advance for your smooth sailing.”

With that, Qin Tian whistled and walked away.

The position of head of the Security Department was not something Qin Tian valued highly; Sun Shuai was getting a little too smug.

”As long as he doesn’t target me, I can’t be bothered to argue with someone as trashy as him. But if he goes too far, I won’t even give him the privilege to be trash.”

Qin Tian stretched lazily and directly started to pick his meal with a tray in hand.

In the afternoon, when he arrived at the Security Department, Sun Shuai was already arranging the manpower.

East Park was a real estate development in progress by Murong Group, and because there were numerous social forces and organizations in that area, the security requirements were quite high, especially on the construction site where things could easily go wrong.

This was also the main reason Murong Fei had appointed Huang Zhenggang as the head of the Security Department.

But now that Huang Zhenggang had resigned, Murong Fei and the other Murong Group executives were really a bit worried about problems arising.

This time, they specifically discussed strengthening the security at their meeting, and in the end, they gave Sun Shuai the opportunity.

There were about ten security guards at the East Park project, and with Sun Shuai bringing another dozen from the headquarters, there would be a total of twenty guards. Sun Shuai was very confident they could ensure there would be no trouble.

”Brothers, let’s go, follow Brother Sun for a taste of good food and drink; let the rest keep watch, move out!”

Just the day before yesterday, inside the lounge outside the office, Sun Shuai was psyching up the nine security guards he had chosen.

”After we return from this assignment, we’re sure to be given more responsibility. In the future, I, Sun Shuai, will not let you guys down!”

Sun Shuai spoke with smug satisfaction; the security guards he had chosen were all his confidants, so they cheered him on.

Meanwhile, Liu Ping’an and other unselected security guards could only watch, frustrated and mumbling to themselves.

As for Qin Tian, he cared even less and simply went to sleep in the office.

Even if Sun Shuai became the head of the Security Department, so what?

...

The following two days were very calm. Qin Tian spent his time in the office arranging shifts and mostly planning to start a real estate company.

”Damn, 20 million is way too short...”

Having realized that starting a real estate company currently required a few billion as a minimum investment, with ten billion not being considered a lot, Qin Tian scratched his head, feeling overwhelmed.

His own 20 million, how could that possibly suffice?

Especially for that land, 20 million was unlikely to secure a plot, and without connections at the bank or the government, it seemed impossible to start the real estate company.

”Never mind, since I’ve made this decision, there’s no turning back.”

Qin Tian called Wild Boar to discuss and asked him to try to raise more funds, while he himself earnestly pondered over solutions.

”It’s terrible! It’s terrible!”

Liu Ping’an ran into the office, panting and came to Qin Tian with bulging eyes and urgency, ”Boss, it’s bad, something has happened! There’s been an incident at East Park!”
