The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2922 Can you really say it like that?

All eyes turned to Lin Chen. Manager Li and the several elegantly dressed men who had just entered also stopped in their tracks, turned around in astonishment, and looked at Lin Chen with confusion.

Chi Ya slapped her forehead with her right hand, looking helpless.

Again!
Why can't these people just calm down? They keep causing trouble like this. With the sect leader's personality, he's offended everyone.

Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai in the team both had their eyes light up with anticipation.

They now have complete faith in their new sect leader and have made up their minds that no matter what, they will listen to him, share the good times and the bad, and if things go wrong, they will all take the blame together.

We might as well die together!
Putting everything else aside, at least Lin Chen felt really good doing this!
They used to be held hostage and delayed every time they came to collect supplies. The feeling of humiliation still makes them feel uncomfortable when they think about it now.

No matter what, I was once a top-grade Grand Luo Immortal, yet I've been reduced to the appearance of an ordinary mortal. It's heartbreaking to think about.

Sect Leader Lin is mighty!
Fuck them!
Manager Li's gaze fell on Lin Chen's face: "What do you want?"

Lin Chen calmly said, "Your two departments just said that the rule is to queue up and receive the forms first. Those of us at the front of the line have been queuing since before dawn, but we haven't seen anyone ahead of us handing in their forms. Could it be that their forms were handed in yesterday, or that they are still in their hands and haven't had time to give them to you yet?"

coming!

Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai's eyes lit up. Lin Chen used his signature move to directly confront Manager Li, and with just one sentence, they managed to lift him up.

You have to choose one of the two options, and whichever you choose, there's a problem!
Why did you say that the rule is for everyone to line up and receive it on a first-come, first-served basis?

The eyes of everyone in line lit up immediately, and many people's eyes fell on Lin Chen, their faces already showing excitement.

"It's him!"

"He's here too! That's great, someone's standing up for us!"
"who is he?"

"The sect leader of Haoran Sect is said to have killed hundreds of demons and made great contributions. He was personally appointed by the palace master."

"Yesterday, when they were picking up supplies, the Zhou family tried to cut in line, but he almost made them cry. In the end, they apologized and left in a sorry state. Manager Chen at that location had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, but he couldn't do anything about it!"

“He speaks very reasonably. Unless the other party is completely unreasonable and only wants to use their power to intimidate others, but he is the sect leader personally appointed by the palace master. He is not afraid of being intimidated. If he really goes to court, who is afraid is not certain.”

When Manager Li saw Lin Chen step forward, he instinctively wanted to reprimand him, but the whispers from the crowd made him realize something was amiss. If he were just an ordinary person, these people might be more worried about him, not excited and expectant like this, and there was even a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes as they looked at him.

How is this going?

Manager Li composed himself, his mind racing, and asked, "And who are you, sir?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, Lin Chen."

Lin Chen?

Does that sound familiar?
Manager Li subconsciously pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the whispers in the next line.

Quartermaster Department?
Did he confront Manager Chen and force Zhou Daocang to apologize?
Manager Li's pupils suddenly contracted. Holy crap, it was that troublemaker!

He actually came to the second place again today!

Did they not collect all the supplies from the second office?

Could it be that the second office is withholding their supplies?
Manager Li's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with a solution, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Sect Leader Lin, you've probably misunderstood."

Manager Li smiled at the bewildered looks of the men in fine clothes and said, "They did hand in their forms in advance, but our Second Division's rule is to queue up and get them on a first-come, first-served basis. So when they mentioned it, I remembered and was preparing to take them in to return their forms. It wasn't to let them cut in line to get the supplies."

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Could it really be said that way?
Anyone can see that you're planning to lead them to cut in line for supplies, yet you manage to twist the truth and make yourself seem so righteous and selfless!
Several men in fine clothes turned their heads in unison to look at Manager Li with strange eyes, then turned back to look at Lin Chen.

They were obviously there to cut in line, but none of them were stupid.

Manager Li had clearly reached a tacit agreement with them just now, but in the blink of an eye, he shunned them. It's impossible that there was no reason behind this.

Who is this Lin Chen? How could he make Manager Li change his mind with just one sentence?
Is he afraid of incurring public wrath, or is he simply unable to afford to offend the sect leader of the Haoran Sect?

The Haoran Sect, with the character "Hao" at the beginning, seems to be the former elite?
But elites are just elites, right? Why would a sect leader with the character "Hao" make Steward Li so wary?
