《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 24 President Xue Bing
Advertisement
At the Ya Lai Group office building.
Lin Qingwan angrily stomped into the building on her high heels.
"Hello, Manager Lin."
"Good day, Manager Lin."
The employees passing Lin Qingwan in the hallways didn’t dare to speak too loudly in front of her sour face.
Lin Qingwan was harsh. If she was in a bad mood, her subordinates would have a bad time.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Qingwan arrived at the office, she coldly announced through the PA system, "All high and mid-level executives, come to the conference room now. I have something to say."
The executives hurriedly grabbed their briefcases and followed Lin Qingwan into the conference room.
The whole company's atmosphere suddenly became very cold. Everyone looked depressed, as if they had heavy weights on their hearts.
Except for one person – Ye Fei. He still wore casual clothes as he followed Lin Qingwan into the office.
The executives came in through the door one by one. They were not surprised to see Ye Fei there, because they had already heard that Lin Qingwan had a bodyguard.
Finally, a middle-aged man came in and smiled as he saw Lin Qingwan, "Qingwan, I have heard what happened yesterday, so I came here first thing in the morning. I'm relieved to see you're all right."
He looked at Ye Fei and asked, “Is this a new security guard in our company? We are having a business meeting. Why are you in here?"
No one spoke for a moment. Everyone looked at this middle-aged man, then at Lin Qingwan, and finally at Ye Fei.
Lin Qingwan frowned slightly. This middle-aged man, named Xue Bing, was the president of the company.
In fact, before Lin Qingwan’s arrival, Xue Bing was the CEO.
Xue Bing had already been working with her father since before he had made his fortune, so Xue Bing was the man originally charged with heading the company when it was first formed.

Lin Qingwan had to admit, Xue Bing was indeed loyal. He stuck with her father through thick and thin.
However… Xue Bing didn't have a mind for business.
The Ya Lai Group had entered the Chinese market over five years ago and hadn’t turned a profit since, which was sufficient proof that Xue Bing was incompetent.
Despite his lack of skill, Xue Bing felt a sense of superiority toward everyone due to his more advanced age, and he was very mean when he talked to the employees.
He even gave his boss, the young Lin Qingwan, the same treatment, which made her very uncomfortable. But as disgusted as she was by Xue Bing’s behavior, he was still her elder, so she could not casually rebuke him.
Lin Qingwan glanced at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei's expression was indifferent. He showed no annoyance at Xue Bing’s words.
There was a little difference between bodyguards and security personnel, but in Ye Fei's view, the difference was not very big. As long as Lin Qingwan gave him his 50,000 Yuan every month, he would do whatever she needed done.
Lin Qingwan said, "Let me introduce you. This is the president of the company, Xue Bing. This is my personal bodyguard, Ye Fei."
"Ye Fei?"
Hearing the name, Xue Bing was surprised and looked Ye Fei up and down more carefully.
Yesterday, he’d heard that Lin Qingwan was attacked by a shooter in her office, and her new bodyguard not only saved her, but also helped the police catch the shooter.
Now that he saw him, and Ye Fei unexpectedly turned out to be a skinny young man, Xue Bing immediately became arrogant.
"Humph. Manager Lin, I have to say something. We are having a meeting; can your private bodyguard please leave? We are about to discuss sensitive trade secrets. If they are leaked out, who will be responsible?" Xue Bing said mercilessly and loudly.

Lin Qingwan frowned again. She knew Xue Bing was getting more and more presumptuous. "You misunderstand. Ye Fei is not my private bodyguard; he was recruited for me by the company. One of the reasons I asked everyone to come here to have a meeting is to inform you that Ye Fei's salary will come from the company’s funds," she said coldly.
The room erupted into loud chatter.
"His salary has to come from the company's funds?"
"Manager Lin, how much money are we paying a simple bodyguard? You called a meeting to discuss such a trivial matter?" Xue Bing looked at Lin Qingwan. There was a little sarcasm in his tone.
"Of course, I have already made a decision on this trivial matter. I just wanted to tell you Ye Fei’s salary is 50,000 Yuan a month," Lin Qingwan coldly said.
"How...How... How much?"
"50,000 Yuan?"
Several executives, including Xue Bing, gaped at the thought.
These executes had good salaries. Not a single one was making under 20,000 Yuan a month.
But the problem was that Ye Fei made more than twice that.
The executives thought it was outrageous that the salary of a bodyguard would be more than double their own.
"Manager Lin, this isn’t good. We don't mind if you pay a bodyguard 50,000 Yuan a month, but the staff will be outraged."
"Yes. Manager Lin, for 50,000 Yuan a month you can recruit three or four top bodyguards. So much money, just for one bodyguard... It's just not worth it."
Lin Qingwan glanced at them, thinking, "You think I want to give this man so much money? No one can change my father’s decision."
Lin Qingwan was displeased with their attitude. After all, Lin Qingwan was the CEO of the company, and Ye Fei’s salary had been set by her dad.
However, after hearing all that, it was clear these people were incredibly reluctant to accept this.
Especially Xue Bing. His expression was gloomy as his gaze swayed between Ye Fei and Lin Qingwan. He punched the table, stood up, pointed to Lin Qingwan's nose and shouted, "Qingwan, I don’t care how often you change boyfriends, but now you want to pay this guy all that money from the company funds? He is not worth the price. Our efforts have finally turned a profit, and now we need to spend our money wisely. And yet you want to give him 50,000 Yuan a month?!"
Lin Qingwan was stunned. She knew what Xue Bing meant: he wanted to say that she was just giving away the company's money to Ye Fei.
Lin Qingwan had never been so insulted.
