The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2918 Bowing Down, Apologizing

Appointed personally by the Palace Master?

Zhou Daocang looked at Lin Chen in front of him and felt his face burning.

Since Lin Chen's position as sect leader was personally appointed by the palace master, it naturally proves that Lin Chen's killing of demons and disruption of their plans is true.

I've really messed up this time.

The fact that the Palace Master personally appointed him at least shows that the Palace Master recognizes and values ​​his contributions. If he were to use his power to intimidate others today, even if he won, the other party could report him directly to the Palace Master, and he would probably be in trouble.

Although the Zhou family holds a special position due to the Immortal God Stele, they are ultimately under the jurisdiction of the War God's Mansion. This means that while the Palace Master can respect the Zhou family, it does not mean that the Zhou family can disregard the Palace Master and act recklessly.

In a different scenario, Zhou Daocang might have been able to forcefully suppress Lin Chen, but now, with everyone watching and him in the wrong, taking action would only make things worse.

Zhou Daocang took a deep breath, glanced around, and bowed to Lin Chen with clasped hands: "Sect Master Lin, I was presumptuous today. I only thought of reducing trouble and directly receiving the supplies, but I did not expect to delay others. It was my oversight, and I apologize!"

Zhou Daocang turned to Steward Chen and smiled apologetically: "Steward Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong in this matter. Sect Master Lin is right. As a disciple of the Zhou family, I should uphold that honor, not use it to take advantage of others."

"I won't collect the supplies today. Everything will be done according to the rules. Just distribute them to them first, and I'll wait for the next batch. I'll report it earlier next time."

Before Lin Chen could speak, Zhou Daocang nodded slightly to Lin Chen and the others, then turned and left.

He suppressed his anger and apologized, entirely for the sake of the Zhou family's reputation, but that didn't mean he was afraid of Lin Chen.

Making an apology gesture is enough; expecting him to truly admit his mistake is impossible!

Manager Chen looked embarrassed; he was caught in the middle, feeling awkward and caught between two opposing sides.

Before letting Zhou Daocang cut in line, he had looked at the lists of these three sects and confirmed that they were all people with no background and that he could completely control them. But who knew that a new sect leader would suddenly appear?
When Manager Chen saw Lin Chen confront him so directly, he guessed that Lin Chen probably had a powerful background. Now he knows for sure. How could someone personally promoted by the Palace Master not have some confidence?
Whether the Palace Master genuinely appreciates him or is simply following procedure to reward him based on merit, he is still someone the Palace Master has registered. If he were to complain to the Palace Master, even if he were to escape unscathed, he would still inevitably face some repercussions.

Zhou Daocang turned and left, leaving Manager Chen frozen in place. He felt as if insects were crawling all over him, making him extremely uncomfortable!

Manager Chen gritted his teeth, turned around, and waved to the staff who were staring at him expectantly: "What are you looking at me for? Send it!"

Manager Chen turned around and looked at the dense crowd outside. He felt instantly annoyed, gritted his teeth, and walked straight inside. Out of sight, out of mind!
The staff quickly took the three supply lists that Lin Chen had slapped on the table and directed the others to start preparing supplies for everyone.

In the courtyard, Chi Ya and the others showed a mixture of excitement and worry on their faces. They were happy that they had finally received the supplies, but worried that Lin Chen had thoroughly offended the quartermaster department and Zhou Daocang today.

The man from the Dangxing Sect was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands together, his expression excited. Clearly, he had never expected such a wonderful turn of events to happen to him.

Lin Chen waved to him and the sect representative at the end of the line: "Friend, come on, let's check your supplies, don't forget anything."

The man rushed to Lin Chen's side and said gratefully, "Sect Leader Lin, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, we..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm just fighting for what is rightfully ours. Helping others is helping yourself, so don't worry about it."

The man was visibly moved, but after glancing at the staff member beside him, he hesitated, finally only repeating his thanks: "Thank you, thank you!"

Soon, all the supplies received by the three sects were packed into spatial rings and handed over to everyone.

Xiong Yaxiong checked it once and nodded to Lin Chen, saying, "Sect Master, no problem."

"Let's go!"

Lin Chen took two steps, then turned back and smiled slightly at the staff: "Thank you for your hard work!"

The staff members repeatedly said it was their duty, and subtle expressions appeared on their faces.

This person could berate Manager Chen, point at Zhou Daocang and tell him to line up, and mock them mercilessly, yet he was so polite to an ordinary staff member like himself.

As soon as Lin Chen and the others stepped out the door, they saw Zhou Ping, the sect leader of Hao Huo Sect, and others standing at the door, looking at them with complicated expressions.

Xiong Yaxiong grinned: "Old Zhou, are you perhaps waiting here to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

Zhou Ping frowned and said, "Old Xiong, want to have a private chat?"
