The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 389
Advertisement
Lucas's gaze was icy cold, but he didn't dodge or look away at all. Seeing the baton getting nearer and nearer to him, he even sneered.
The baton would definitely not land on his body because…
"Stop! Hurry up and stop!" someone suddenly hollered in the distance.
Although the distance was slightly far away, the owner of the voice was furious, so he was extremely loud. Like a thunderbolt, his voice immediately made the security guard freeze.
The two security guards subconsciously turned around, only to see a familiar figure charging toward them in exasperation.
"M-Mr. Davis?" The two security guards panicked and quickly straightened their backs while pressing their legs together as they bowed to the man in front of them respectfully.
The person who came was none other than Flynn, the general manager of the Solar Corporation.
He was also the general manager of this arts center!
Although the security guards had never seen the general manager in person, they had to memorize the basic information of the company's bosses and senior executives during their employee training program. Thus, they had naturally long remembered Flynn's appearance very clearly.
Flynn simply ignored the security guards. He sprinted over, pushed them away, stood in front of Lucas, and bowed to him respectfully. While panting heavily, he said, "I'm so sorry I'm late, Lucas. There was heavy traffic along the way. Sorry to have kept you waiting for such a long time! These two fools didn't hurt you just now, did they?"
While speaking, Flynn glared at the security guards furiously, wishing he could crush them into smithereens!
As soon as he got out of the car just now, he saw one of the security guards raise his baton at the entrance of the arts center and seemingly try to hit Lucas. Flynn received a huge fright!
After seeing how respectful and subservient Flynn was toward Lucas, the security guards already had an ominous hunch. And when they heard Flynn greeting Lucas politely, they were scared soulless! This young man definitely has an extraordinary identity. Yet we actually yelled at him and told him to get lost. We even almost hit him…

The thought of the terrifying consequences that they were about to face made the security guards break out in cold sweat, and their legs began to tremble incessantly.
Although the antique exhibition today was organized by the Coles from San Francisco, the arts center rightfully belonged to the Solar Corporation. So the security officers were considered employees of the Solar Corporation.
Their job at the arts center was extremely lax, and they would only have to work a few days every month during exhibitions and events, but they would still be paid for an entire month. So their jobs could be considered relatively relaxed and stable.
But they had now offended someone who appeared to be their boss' client. It seemed that they might just lose their jobs soon!
The security guards were overwhelmed with regret. Before Flynn could say anything, they hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir! We… we weren't aware of your identity. We're very sorry!"
Hearing this, Flynn became even more furious and cursed, "Even if you weren't aware of his identity, you shouldn't have insulted him and tried to hit him unrestrainedly. I never knew I had such snobbish employees like you!"
It was no wonder that Flynn was furious. He had just spoken to Lucas in the morning and informed him that he had already made arrangements for the matters in LA. All the companies under the Solar Corporation had been organized properly too.
But it had only been a few hours since he assured Lucas that everything was in order, and now, it was revealed that there were such stuck-up snobs who bullied others and destroyed the company's image working for the Solar Corporation. They had even behaved so rudely to Lucas!
This just went to show that there was a huge flaw in Flynn's management of the company.
He had clearly given orders to the executives to strictly enforce good behavioral standards for all employees, yet the security guards chose to act against the rules. Worse yet, they had offended Lucas. Flynn was furious!

"Drag these two people who deliberately ruined the company's image away. Beat them up and teach them a hard lesson! Break the arms of the one who dared to lay a finger on Mr. Gray!" Flynn commanded the two bodyguards behind him furiously.
The tall and muscular bodyguards immediately walked forward and tried to drag them away.
The security guards panicked, especially the one who had wanted to hit Lucas just now. He turned as pale as a sheet and frantically got on his knees to beg for mercy. "Mr. Davis, we may have been snobbish, but we definitely weren't trying to ruin the company's image! W-we know we're at fault. We won't dare to do it again! Please let us off!"
They were so frightened that their tears were mixed with snot, looking incredibly wretched.
Lucas shook his head and suddenly said, "Forget it. Just fire them."
Such mercenary small fries existed everywhere, and Lucas saw no need to get upset because of them.
Besides, the security guard didn't manage to hit him with the baton anyway, so it wasn't necessary to break his arms.
To put it bluntly, Lucas was just too lazy to get involved with such an insignificant nobody.
Seeing that Lucas didn't seem to be angry because of this matter, Flynn decided to let them off. "I'll spare you two this time on Mr. Gray's account! But we can't keep employees like you around in the Solar Corporation. Go tender your resignations yourselves!"
The two security guards managed to escape an ordeal. Compared to having their arms broken, being made to resign was considered a very light punishment. So they didn't dare to say anything else and immediately retreated.
Only after the two of them vanished did Flynn apologize to Lucas guiltily. "Lucas, the reason for this incident is my lack of proper supervision. I can't shirk this responsibility. Please punish me!"
Lucas shook his head and said indifferently, "You are the general manager of the corporation, and there are too many things for you to handle. There are more than ten thousand employees in the entire corporation, including those of the branch companies. You can't possibly know every single low-level employee, so you're naturally not to be blamed for this."
After hearing that Lucas didn't blame him, Flynn heaved a huge sigh of relief.
"But the presence of such people will ruin the company's image. How about this? Set up an inspection department specifically responsible for spot-checking and regulating the work and discipline of employees in all departments of the company," Lucas said.
"Yes, Lucas!" Flynn naturally agreed to it frantically.
"Where's the thing I want?"
Flynn immediately took out a stack of gold-embossed invitation cards and handed them to Lucas. "Actually, this arts center belongs to you, so you don't need an invitation to go in…
"In addition, the organizer of the antique exhibition, Edmund Cole, happens to be here now. Would you like to see him?"
Lucas pulled out one of the invitation cards from the stack Flynn was holding and said disinterestedly, "There's no need to meet him. I have something to do here. You don't have to come with me."
