Super Soldier Chapter 140 Zhang Situ

Before they could do anything, there were five other employees who handed in their resignation letters. They were the a.s.sistant manager of the marketing department, Li Zhenguan, the leader of the security department, Shao Wuyou, and another three executives of the marketing department.

In the evening when it was about time to leave, Xiao Bing was still sitting in Yezi's chair. He rubbed his chin and circled Li Zhenguan's name.

Yezi was standing behind Xiao Bing, giving him a ma.s.sage. Upon seeing Li Zhenguan's name being circled, she asked, "Should we start with Li Zhenguan?"

"Yes." Xiao Bing nodded his head. He took out his phone and called Lil Bei. Xiao Bing was recovering fast. He already could walk on his own with a cane, so he did not need Lil Bei and Dumba.s.s by his side...

Actually, Xiao Bing was able to walk without the cane. But he wanted to recover faster, so he had to walk with it.

After he was put through, Xiao Bing said directly, "I want you to find out information about Li Zhenguan, the a.s.sistant manager of the marketing department of the Ye Group. I want to know his personal information, his family, and if he has a mistress outside. You have half an hour to do it."

Lil Bei simply said "yes" then hung up.

Xiao Bing was content with Lil Bei. Though Lil Bei was just working for him temporarily, he was still being borrowed by Xiao Bing from Dragon Gate. As a member of Dragon Gate, Lil Bei could get anyone's information easily.

Xiao Bing then called the secretary. Li Huihong soon came into the office. She gasped for a second when she saw Xiao Bing sitting in the chair with Yezi behind him, but she did not say anything. She asked directly, "Mr.Xiao, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Xiao Bing smiled. "Since the leader of the security wants to go, then I'll let him go. What do you know about the security? Is there a person who is second in command? If there is, what kind of a person are they?"

"There is a vice-captain called Zhang Situ. We usually call him Situ because in ancient times there was a government position called Situ. But Shao Wuyou is truly a capable person. He was not only a confidant of the young master, but he's also the nephew of Shao Baisheng, a board member of the company. So he's always haughty. Zhang Situ just does his job silently beside Shao Wuyou."

Curious, Xiao Bing questioned, "Who is Shao Baisheng?"

Yezi explained to him, "The board member who didn't come to the meeting this time. He doesn't hold many shares of the company, but few dare to offend him. His background has something to do with the gang in the city. He owns an underground casino, even the police dare not to seal it up."

Xiao Bing grinned. "Now I have a better reason. He can no longer be a board member since he's involved in the gang."

The secretary spoke in a low voice. "I don't think it'll that easy. His sworn brother was the vice-mayor of Jiang City. That's why he always has nothing to fear."

Xiao Bing sneered and said, "I have my own way. Tell me something about this Zhang Situ."

The secretary found Xiao Bing more and more mysterious. She replied with respect, "Zhang Situ is a quiet man who never wants to get close to anyone. And Shao Wuyou doesn't like him at all. But Zhang Situ is quite capable of doing the security. So, Shao Wuyou can't kick him out of the security department if he can't hold something against him."

"That's interesting." Xiao Bing grinned. "Tell Zhang Situ that I... erm... the little Missy wants to talk to him."

The secretary nodded and walked out of the office with curiosity. Confused as well, Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Brother Bing, are you going to give him a promotion? He has a clear background and he seems to be a capable and prudent man. He is an alternate for the position."

Xiao Bing put on a mysterious smile. "It's not that simple."

Soon afterward, Zhang Situ arrived in the office. The secretary knocked on the door and led Zhang Situ in after she got permission.

Xiao Bing cast a glance at Li Huiyong and said, "You can leave, Ms. Li."

"Okay," replied the secretary. Then she walked out and closed the door carefully.

Zhang Situ seemed to be a young man of 26 or 27, which was about the same as Xiao Bing's age. Though Zhang Situ seemed to be a decent man, Xiao Bing felt something unique in him with just a simple glimpse. He believed that there had to be something special about this man because he could keep this job even when his boss did not like him.

Zhang Situ was surprised when he saw Xiao Bing sitting in Yezi's chair. But soon, his face returned to normal. He nodded and smiled at Yezi, who was giving Xiao Bing a ma.s.sage. "Morning, little Missy."

Yezi gently nodded.

Staring at Zhang Situ, Xiao Bing spoke. "Perhaps you don't know me. I'm Xiao Bing, your little Missy's boyfriend. Old Ye told me to look after her before he died. During this crisis, I'll help Ms. Ye stabilize the situation."

Xiao Bing stood up slowly and let Yezi sit in the chair. Xiao Bing fetched another one and sat beside Yezi. "Please introduce yourself," said Xiao Bing while looking at Zhang Situ.

Zhang Situ spoke with a stern face. "I'm Zhang Situ, male, 28. I have been working in the security department since I was 23. In the beginning, I was just a guard, and now I'm the vice-captain."

"It's not easy to start from the bottom. How's your fighting skill?"

"I was a disciple in the Shaolin Temple. I learned from Zhijue, a monk honored by many."

"Really?" Xiao Bing smiled. "Can you perform a Shaolin fist movement?"

Zhang Situ said "yes" and the room was big enough for him. His performance seemed to be formidable but also reserved. He did not even pant after he finished. "It's just a trick with nearly no use."

Xiao Bing sized Zhang Situ up and suddenly a hint of light flashed in his eyes. "Why are you willing to be a mere a vice-captain? You are more than capable of being a captain. Is that Shao Wuyou better than you?"

Zhang Situ replied sternly, "Though he has studied kung fu, I can beat three men like him on my own."

He was not boasting. Xiao Bing found that though this vice-captain did not acquire the essence of the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, his external kung fu was extremely skilled. He was almost at the peak of the Bone Refining Stage, which was just a step away from the Clear Strength Stage. His might already made him more than capable of being a captain of the guards. However, it was still very difficult for him to break through the thresholds.

Xiao Bing asked, "Then why didn't you try to overthrow Shao Wuyou?"

"Because he has someone high up in the company, and I don't want him to feel that I'm a threat. So I didn't dare to show them what I'm really capable of. The Ye Group's payment is rather high. The salary of a vice-captain is much higher than that of a bodyguard. I just want to work longer and make more money."

Xiao Bing asked again, "Then why did you show it to us?"

"Because it's about d.a.m.n time," said Zhang Situ. "Now little Missy runs the company and she has a conflict with the board members right after she sat on that chair. As a member of the company, I can only choose one side. If I choose the board members, I will still be a vice-captain if they succeed. If I choose the little Missy, I believe that she will treat me fairly since my boss has just sent her a threat."

"You're sure that I'll win?" questioned Yezi.

Zhang Situ smiled. "I have to take that risk. You own the majority share of the company. If you lose, then the company probably will collapse. I'll get nothing if I stand on the board members' side. And I love this company. So I hope you can win."

"Good." Yezi sounded satisfied. "Now you are the captain of security. But you will be more than a captain in the days to come."

Zhang Situ seemed to have expected that Yezi would say these words. There was not much delight on his face. He just said calmly, "Thank you."

There was appreciation in Xiao Bing's eyes because he found this man capable, smart, and decent, which was something he had never expected. He slowly approached Zhang Situ with his cane. Then he looked into Zhang Situ's eyes and said, "Punch me."

Upon hearing Xiao Bing, who needed a cane to walk, telling him to punch him, Zhang Situ gasped for a moment.

Xiao Bing said again, "Punch me hard!"

Zhang Situ no longer hesitated and suddenly punched Xiao Bing's shoulder. But Xiao Bing's shoulder only trembled a little. Zhang Situ felt like his fist had hit a ball of cotton. Shocked, Zhang Situ raised his head and looked at Xiao Bing, who was still smiling. "Mr. Xiao, you're in the... Concealing Strength Stage?"

Even if Xiao Bing were in the Clear Strength Stage, he had to take the hit with his body. But Xiao Bing resolved Zhang Situ's strike so easily and naturally. How could he not be in the Concealing Strength Stage?

Xiao Bing did not answer that question. "You're good, but still a long way from The Clear Strength Stage. It's not easy to break the threshold. Do you want to break it? I can help you with it if you do me a favor."

Zhang Situ straightened his body and the eagerness in his eyes was quite conspicuous. No one who cultivated martial arts wanted to be blocked by a threshold forever. If he declared that he was a master of the Bone Refining Stage, numerous companies would compete fiercely to hire him as the captain of security. But his strength was still much less than that in the Clear Strength Stage.

Though he craved it, he was still careful upon hearing Xiao Bing's words. "May I know the details of the favor, Mr. Xiao? I will try my best to complete it. But if is beyond my ability..." said Zhang Situ with prudence.

Xiao Bing was quite satisfied with his prudence as well. "First, there needs to be an adjustment in the security department. I want everyone to obey the rules and you can fire anyone who misbehaves. I want it to be done before you're off work today. Is that a problem?"

It was not an easy task for normal people. But Zhang Situ accepted it without hesitation. "No problem."

Xiao Bing nodded his head. It seemed that this Zhang Situ was truly a capable man. So he continued, "Tomorrow, I want you to do something for me with several skillful men of yours..."

Zhang Situ's heart thumped hard for a second when he heard what the thing was. He was surprised by Xiao Bing's cruelty. But since he was already on Yezi's side, he replied directly, "I will always be at Mr. Xiao's and little Missy's service from now on. Though it is a difficult task, I believe that I won't fail you!"

Mr. Xiao smiled. "Good. You can leave to do those things I told you. After you have done them all, I'll tell you how to step into the Clear Strength Stage."

After Zhang Situ left, Ye Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Bing worriedly. "Brother Bing, are you sure that it's okay?"

"Of course it's okay... Someone has to be taught a lesson."
