Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 831 - 834: Entering Guo’s Pharmaceutical

"Xia Liu? Here to be a security guard?"

Fengzi couldn’t believe it as he looked at Xia Liu, who appeared quite impressive.

"Yeah, my buddy here wants a job with flexible hours, so being a security guard suits him perfectly." freёweɓnovel.com

Zhao Qian said cheerfully.

"Squad Leader Zhao, that’s not right. It’s the sales department that produces talent. This guy would have a real future over there."

"Fengzi, you’re wrong about that. No matter the field, one can always rise to the top. My buddy here is destined for greatness. Just wait and see."

Zhao Qian was naturally convinced of this.

If Xia Liu ended up being just a low-level employee tomorrow, Zhao Qian wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.

"Alright, alright, I’ll just eat my own words. Go ahead. I’ll take care of this guy."

Fengzi didn’t know what else to say since, after all, he was only a security guard himself.

"Sure, thanks a lot."

Zhao Qian turned to Xia Liu and said, "Brother Xia Liu, if you finish early, just head home. I might have to stay late."

"Don’t worry, I know my way."

After Xia Liu’s reply, Zhao Qian hurried into the company, nearly late.

He’d just been promoted to squad leader and couldn’t afford mistakes at this critical moment.

"Brother Xia Liu, I’m Ge Feng. Just call me Fengzi. I’m a probationary security guard."

"Nice to meet you."

Xia Liu extended his hand, and Fengzi shook it.

"Come on, I’ll take you to meet the captain. That old guy’s got a heavy smoking habit, so make sure to hand out plenty of cigarettes later."

Fengzi briefly explained the situation to a few other guards, then led Xia Liu to the office.

On the way, he kept telling Xia Liu about the security captain’s hobbies and quirks.

At the office, Xia Liu met the captain, known as Old Sun.

He looked around forty years old and carried himself with a calm demeanor.

A serious air about him.

"Captain, Squad Leader Zhao Qian from the sales department asked me to bring his friend over. He said you’ve already made arrangements."

"Oh? So, you’re Xia Liu?"

Old Sun paused his writing and turned to look at Xia Liu, puzzled.

"Yes."

"Brother, as I told you before, hand a cigarette to Old Sun."

Fengzi nudged Xia Liu with his shoulder, trying to remind him about the instructions.

But what happened next completely threw Fengzi off.

Old Sun pulled open a drawer, took out a pack of expensive cigarettes gifted to him monthly by the manager, and handed one to Xia Liu.

"Hi, I’m Sun Cheng. Just call me Old Sun from now on."

"Nice to meet you, Captain Sun."

At this first meeting, Xia Liu didn’t take the cigarette. Normally, he didn’t smoke, so he said, "I don’t smoke, but thank you, Captain Sun."

"Ah, young people should smoke more. I heard from the little girl next door that smoking guys are the coolest; women love them."

"Captain Sun, I smoke, I smoke."

"I know you smoke."

Old Sun gave Fengzi a side-eye, clearly showing no intention of giving him the cigarette in his hand.

"Heh, by the way, Captain Sun, how old is this little girl next door?"

Xia Liu asked half-jokingly.

"Oh, she’s eleven this year…"

...

"Hahaha..."

Xia Liu and Fengzi burst into laughter at Old Sun’s joke.

"Haha, not smoking is good for young folks. Look at me; quitting is near impossible."

"Captain Sun is full of energy. You look even manlier when you smoke, bold as ever..."

Alright, Xia Liu couldn’t keep improvising; he could only offer a wry smile.

"Enough about that. Brother Xia Liu, on behalf of Guo’s Pharmaceutical’s Security Department, welcome aboard."

"It’s an honor."

Xia Liu extended a hand and shook hands with Old Sun.

Fengzi stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

In his eyes, Old Sun was a serious man.

Unless well-acquainted, he wouldn’t crack jokes so easily.

Yet, as soon as he saw Xia Liu, he was all smiles.

Could Xia Liu have a mysterious identity?

Confused, utterly confused...

Fengzi didn’t dwell on it. He had tasks to complete, and the girls at reception deserved his fleeting gaze, so he went to check them out.

"Brother Xia Liu, this is the contract everyone signs when joining the company. Please add your name."

Xia Liu walked to the desk and skimmed through the contract.

It was practically a slave contract.

For three months, resigning was not allowed unless you forfeited your salary.

Company executives had the authority to direct operations.

That clause felt slightly off—since when could security guards be managed at a high level?

...

Skimming the rest, Xia Liu concluded it was indeed a slave contract.

But to him, it meant little.

If he wanted to leave, who could stop him?

Joining the company was merely to earn Guo Man’s trust.

Once the mission was completed, he wouldn’t linger.

Even his identity was fake—what power did this contract truly hold?

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Xia Liu quickly wrote his name.

"Here’s the uniform for the Security Department. Since today’s your first day, Fengzi will guide you for this week. Afterward, you’ll rotate shifts."

"Alright, Captain Sun, I’ll let you get back to work. I’m off to find Fengzi for job-related information."

After changing into the uniform at the designated locker area, Xia Liu headed to the entrance to find Fengzi.

Inside another office, Guo Man took her gaze off the surveillance monitor.

The screen showed footage of Xia Liu and Fengzi together.

"President, here’s his signed contract."

Xilu handed the contract Xia Liu signed to Guo Man.

"Alright, you may leave."

Click.

As the door closed, Guo Man quickly stood up from her chair.

She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, her breathing turbulent.

"Guo Man, Guo Man, are you satisfied now? You’ve brought him into the company. What’s your next move?"

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Guo Man asked herself.

Truthfully, she didn’t know why. Ever since Xia Liu had taught her a lesson that time...

That face, that moment of anger, those words meant for her.

They constantly flashed through her mind.

To erase those words, to dispel those images, she needed Xia Liu.

But as for what came next, Guo Man had no idea.

...

Since it was Xia Liu’s first day, Fengzi let him leave before 3:30.

After changing out of his security uniform, Xia Liu scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense before leaving.

He discovered Guo Man’s female bodyguard was still tailing him.

Alright, Xia Liu decided to go all out. He took a bus to the main station, then switched rides back to the Jiuzhou City District.

Instead of heading straight to his rental place, he bought some gifts and visited the orphanage.

"President, after finishing work and switching buses, he bought gifts and went to the orphanage..."

Lina reported everything she saw to Guo Man.

After hanging up, Guo Man slumped into her chair, her slender waist forming a perfect curve.

"Guo Man, you’ve brought him here, yet still don’t trust him. Enough already—just apologize in a few days..."
