A surge of anger welled up inside Xu Yuanqing, and he said with a look of dissatisfaction:

"Zhang Qiang, are you fucking crazy?"

"I've worked six days in a row, and today I finally have a day off. Why should I have to cover your night shift?"

Zhang Qiang chuckled, exhaling a smoke ring, his eyes filled with disdain:

"Why should I? Because my uncle is the security captain, isn't that reason enough?"

He walked to the bedside and looked down at Xu Yuanqing:

"Xu Yuanqing, don't push your luck."

If this night shift isn't worth it, I'll talk to my uncle on his behalf.

Next month I'll give you a month of consecutive night shifts, so you can have your fill! You believe me?

"You...!" Xu Yuanqing was so angry that he trembled all over, and his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

But he was naturally honest and simple-minded, and not very eloquent.

Aside from glaring angrily, he couldn't find any compelling words to refute her.

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhang Qiang knew that this easy target had been taken advantage of again.

He gave a disdainful smile, turned around, and swaggered out.

"Alright, stop dawdling."

I'm meeting up with my buddies at an internet cafe tonight for an all-night gaming session, I don't have time to waste with you.

As he reached the door, Zhang Qiang seemed to remember something and added without turning his head:

"Oh, and don't forget to sign my name on the attendance sheet when you clock in."

If you sign the wrong document and lose my perfect attendance bonus, I'll hold you responsible!

After saying that, he hummed a little tune and walked away.

Xu Yuanqing stared at the empty doorway, veins bulging on his forehead, and slammed his fist into the cement wall in anger.

"hiss--"

The sharp pain from the back of his hand made him gasp, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.

He came from an ordinary background and his family was of modest means.

Her looks and figure are the kind that you wouldn't notice if you threw her into a crowd.

She is also shy and timid, and even has difficulty talking to strangers.

This caused him to lack self-confidence from a young age.

That's why, after he came here to work as a security guard, people like Zhang Qiang specifically targeted him and bullied him.

He had considered standing up for himself and disobeying Zhang Qiang's orders.

But the last time he resisted, Zhang Qiang's uncle just found a reason to deduct half a month's salary.

I was also assigned to clean toilets for a week.

Xu Yuanqing sighed heavily.

Looking at Peipei, the smiling anchor on my phone screen, I suddenly felt utterly bored.

I've lost interest in even watching my favorite video clips.

He remained in bed, caught in his own thoughts, as time ticked by, and soon it was time for the night shift to change.

Zhang Qiang's arrogant, booming voice echoed down the corridor, like a summons to a spirit:

"Come on, Xu Yuanqing! What are you dawdling for?"

"Get to the duty room and hold the line, I'm going to the internet cafe!"

Xu Yuanqing's body stiffened.

He gritted his teeth, his gaze unconsciously drifting to a fruit knife on the table by the door.

The blade gleamed coldly under the light.

In that instant, countless crazy thoughts flashed through his mind.

But in the end, his eyes dimmed.

He loosened his clenched fists and silently got out of bed.

He obediently picked up the security guard uniform, put it on, and dragged his heavy steps out to work.

Zhang Qiang followed behind Xu Yuanqing, walking casually toward the guard post.

Since he was going out to use the internet, he didn't wear his security guard uniform, but instead changed into a flashy T-shirt and jeans.

He had a smug smile on his face, and a cigarette dangling from his lips.

He casually draped his coat over his back with one hand, looking quite "cool".

The two walked to the guard post, where Xu Yuanqing dejectedly handed over the duties to the day shift security guard.

The day shift security guard was a middle-aged man.

Seeing Xu Yuanqing dressed neatly and Zhang Qiang in casual clothes, they were taken aback:

"Xiao Xu...aren't you supposed to be off today?"

Zhang Qiang beat him to it, grinning as he put his hand on Xu Yuanqing's shoulder:

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Xu guy?"

Knowing I had something urgent to do tonight, they offered to cover my shift.

Don't you think so, Xiao Xu? Haha.

Xu Yuanqing lowered his head, staring intently at his toes, remaining silent.

The day shift security guards were experienced; they could easily spot the shady dealings.

He immediately felt indignant and frowned, saying:

"Zhang Qiang, we're all just here to work and make a living."

Why are you bullying Xiao Xu like this?

That's going too far!

Zhang Qiang's expression changed, he glared at him, and said angrily:

"Old Wang, what business is it of yours what I have with him?"

Do you know that meddling in other people's business is a recipe for disaster?

"Believe it or not, I'll get my uncle to give you a month's worth of night shift work packages too!"

"you!"

The day shift security guard was furious, but after opening his mouth, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhang Qiang's uncle is the security captain here, and he's known for being fiercely protective of his own.

If you really anger him and he makes things difficult for you, the livelihood of your whole family will be affected.

He glanced at Xu Yuanqing, who remained silent and submissive throughout.

Old Wang sighed helplessly and began packing his things to prepare for the handover.

Since the person being bullied doesn't dare to fight back, why should an outsider like him be the first to speak up?

Seeing that the day shift security guard had backed down, Zhang Qiang immediately gave a contemptuous smile.

He gave the two men a disdainful look that exuded superiority, and swaggered off to leave the guard post to go to an internet cafe.

"Squeak—"

Just then, a deep, resonant engine roared, followed by a steady screech of brakes.

A Maybach G650, gleaming like a mobile castle, slowly came to a stop in front of the guard post.

Its massive body, imposing design, and the luxurious sheen of its paint reflecting under the streetlights instantly drew everyone's attention.

Everyone was stunned, momentarily forgetting what they were doing.

Xu Yuanqing scratched his head, his eyes filled with envy:

"Wow, what kind of car is this?"

"It looks so cool! It's even more impressive than any of the luxury cars I've seen online."

Although Zhang Qiang was also shocked, he still pretended to be knowledgeable and said disdainfully:

"Tch, you country bumpkin, you have no taste for knowledge."

This is a Maybach G650, with only 99 units produced worldwide!

Do you even understand the value of this?

Seeing Xu Yuanqing slowly move forward, seemingly wanting to get closer and take a look, Zhang Qiang's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply:

"Xu Yuanqing! You better watch out! Take your dirty hands off me!"

"If you scratch or bump this car, you wouldn't even be able to afford the paint damage if you sold yourself!"

His main concern was that this fool would implicate the security team, and he was even more afraid that he would be implicated.

The owners of these top-of-the-line luxury cars are all extremely wealthy and powerful; if something were to happen to them, they would also be in trouble.

"If you're looking for death, go die somewhere else, don't drag me down with you!"

Xu Yuanqing withdrew his hand after being scolded, but still insisted in a low voice:

"No... I think I saw my cousin in the car. I want to go over and take a closer look to confirm."
