The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 193 Being an assistant is nowhere near as comfortable as being a security guard
The four or five men hesitated for a moment before sitting down. When Lin Chen took out cigarettes and handed out a pack to each of them, and also took out the good wine he had bought to offer them drinks, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Brother, what do you want to know?"

While pouring the wine, Lin Chen asked, "I came back from the army, and my family forced me to work. I wanted to inquire about the benefits at this pharmaceutical factory, and whether they're hiring any new workers..."

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Lin Chen was fond of cigarettes and alcohol, and upon hearing that he was a veteran, the group immediately lowered their guard and started talking all at once.

"The company offers good benefits, but the business is not so good. The factory was sold to Chuhe Group in Pingjiang a few days ago. We don't know what the future holds or whether we can continue operating."

"Didn't the boss say that there was a clause in the contract that more than 30% of the employees could not be laid off?"

"If you say 30%, aren't you afraid of being in that 30%?"

"What am I afraid of? I was hired, and I didn't mess around with them. I'm not the one who should be laid off."

"Those people are probably going to get stabbed this time, but it's hard to say, they all have people protecting them."

Lin Chen didn't rush to ask any questions. He just drank with everyone. After a couple of drinks, without Lin Chen even asking, the group started discussing it on their own. After all, with a new boss, the issue of their future jobs was naturally their biggest concern.

"As for workers, the company is currently at full capacity. If you want to think about it, you'll have to wait. If there are layoffs, there will be vacancies. However, since you're a veteran, you could be a security guard. I heard that a lot of security guards left recently, and they're recruiting now."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "This is great! Actually, my family is quite well-off, and I don't really want to go out to work. But my family can't stand me staying at home. They nag me all day long. Being a security guard would be so easy."

"No wonder, look at all that cigarettes and alcohol you've got, you've already spent half a month's salary, turns out you're not short of money."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Big brother, can you introduce me?"

"Okay, after dinner later, I'll take you to the security department. The head of the security department, Li Linyuan, likes to take advantage of small things. You can give him two packs of cigarettes. With your physical condition, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Thank you, here, let me toast you."

After a drinking session, Lin Chen learned a lot about the factory. He planned to go deep into the security department next. How could the factory's affairs, from top to bottom, coming and going, be kept from these well-informed security guards?

After a satisfying meal, Lin Chen was taken to the security department, where Li Linyuan was alone in his office, munching on braised duck, drinking wine, and watching TV.

Lin Chen offered Li Linyuan some good cigarettes and alcohol, and Li Linyuan's eyes lit up. The cigarettes and alcohol together were worth at least half a month's salary for him. After asking a few simple questions, Li Linyuan smiled and said, "Okay, not bad, young man. Come on, have a drink."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen knew it was all right, so he sat down casually and started drinking with Li Linyuan.

Lin Chen didn't deliberately flatter Li Linyuan, which was in line with Lin Chen's persona. His family wasn't short of money, and he wasn't working for the money; he just wanted to find a job to get by and appease his family.

After chatting for a while, they learned that Li Linyuan had also served in the army, which immediately made them feel closer. After a couple of drinks, they not only finalized the start of work the next day, but also learned a lot of inside secrets.

Lin Chen had just returned to his hotel room when Chu Jiaxue knocked on the door. She was casually wearing a bathrobe, revealing her fair legs.

"You reek of alcohol. Who were you drinking with?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "I found myself a job."

Chu Jiaxue asked in surprise, "What kind of job?"

Lin Chen, also wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair, sat down in front of Chu Jiaxue: "Security guard at the pharmaceutical factory."

Chu Jiaxue laughed: "You're too efficient! You've infiltrated the pharmaceutical factory in the time it takes to eat a meal. Are you planning to go to the security department to gather information?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, being an assistant is nowhere near as comfortable as being a security guard."

Chu Jiaxue casually sat down on Lin Chen's bed and leaned against the headboard: "Have you found out any news?"

Lin Chen replied, "Sales manager Xiao Jiancheng has a big problem. He often sells the factory's products privately, and a chain has been formed between the top and bottom. Equipment manager Liu Dahai often takes advantage of his position to resell some of the factory's equipment, or sell old equipment as new. They collude to make money off the company. The head of the logistics department often takes away some of the company's materials and resells them directly... This factory is almost completely ruined."

Chu Jiaxue wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she seemed quite relaxed: "Your decision is correct. I met with the senior management of the pharmaceutical factory today, and they all said nice things, but they didn't have any real substance. They don't know as much as you do. I think replacing the factory manager is the top priority, but when replacing him, we need to find someone who is truly knowledgeable and capable. Otherwise, we will always be at the mercy of others."

Lin Chen understood immediately and chuckled, "Just muddle along for now. This is a classic case of feigning one thing while secretly doing another. I'll get it done for you in a week at most."
