Legendary Captain
Chapter 5 Down on His Luck
"Working...you mean working? Okay, okay! The food at home is all cooked, just heat it up when you get back, eat before you go out! Don't save any for me, I've already eaten." Seeing that Xu Xian wasn't interested in talking to him, Xu Jingyang stopped trying to engage Xu Xian in conversation.
Just then, a man approached from a distance, also dressed as a security guard, but his gait was completely aloof and arrogant. This man was the captain of the community's security team; his fat face and large ears caused his mouth to smirk widen to his ears when he saw Xu Xian.
The security captain was accompanied by another person, dressed in a sharp suit, with hair so neatly styled that even a fly couldn't land on it. He did resemble the security captain somewhat, but their builds were quite different; the younger man looked much more normal.
"Zimo, do a good job at the law firm!" The security captain looked Xu Xian up and down in his uniform, his eyes narrowed into slits. When he was instructing his son, he spoke as if he wanted to be heard from miles away, afraid that Xu Xian and Xu Jingyang would not hear that his son was a lawyer.
Back when the Xu family was at the height of their power, this security captain used to fawn over the Xu father and son. Now, the tables have turned; the former big boss is now a member of his security team, which perfectly satisfies his shallow vanity.
However, even if Xu Jingyang was down on his luck, he still had a past relationship with the owner of the property management company in this community. Apart from finding a little sense of accomplishment in his lawyer son, he didn't dare to do anything to Xu Jingyang.
Xu Xian's lips twitched a few times. He wondered if it was necessary to make such a big deal out of being a lawyer that everyone in the surrounding area knew about it.
Suddenly, a girl wearing a white hoodie came out of the small door and immediately spotted Xu Xian standing at the door.
The girl, with her hair tied in a single ponytail, exuded youthful cheerfulness. She jogged up to Xu Xian, and as she passed the security captain, the captain respectfully greeted her, "Miss Su."
Xu Xian was untying his tie at that moment, carefully pulling the collar wider so that he could take it off without completely untying the knot. That way, next time he could just put the tie around his neck and push the knot up a bit.
When Su Yalin saw Xu Xian untying his tie, she went over to help him with a grin, muttering, "Look at you, so clumsy, you can't even untie a tie?"
Su Yalin quickly untied Xu Xian's tie, then handed it to him, saying, "You're welcome!"
Xu Xian's face turned green. He had spent half an hour learning how to tie this tie by watching a video, but Su Yalin's "helpful" assistance had ruined all his efforts.
Not wanting to waste any more words with Su Yalin, Xu Xian put away his tie and said to Xu Jingyang, "Dad, I'm going back now. You go ahead with your work!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Xu Jingyang said with a smile. He didn't want Xu Xian to suffer the security captain's temper here.
Xu Xian had just turned around when Su Yalin pulled him back. Su Yalin leaned closer to Xu Xian and said, "Anything going on later? Why don't you come with me to see a movie?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ziming, the son of the security captain not far away, pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on the intimate relationship between Xu Xian and Su Yalin.
"Stop messing around, I have to go to work in a bit. You'll be all alone watching the movies, are you kidding me?" Xu Xian said, getting a little impatient.
Su Yalin shook Xu Xian's arm as if no one else was around: "I don't want those people with me. You know what kind of people they are!"
"What about your parents?" Xu Xian glanced at the time on his phone; too much time had already been wasted here.
"Generation gap! Bringing them along is worse than watching it by myself." Su Yalin rolled her eyes at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid your parents will be furious if they hear you say that?"
Su Yalin chuckled and said, "It's perfect timing for me to inherit the family business."
Xu Xian sighed inwardly at Su Yalin's "outrageous" words, thinking, "What a loving father and filial daughter! I'm raising such a filial daughter!"
"I'm running out of time, otherwise I won't even have time to eat. If you want to have fun, go out and have fun yourself. I have important business to attend to."
Su Yalin: "Just say you have an urgent matter to attend to today and ask for leave. It's fine, right?"
"It's alright? I still have to have my pay docked, so don't bother me." Xu Xian slapped away Su Yalin's hand that was grabbing his arm and prepared to go home first.
He had only taken two steps when Su Yalin spoke up in a clear voice behind him: "Double, double your salary for today plus the deductions, as long as you come with me to the movies, that's my compensation."
Xu Xian immediately stopped in his tracks and said seriously, "Su Yalin, I told you not to insult me with money! Am I someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"
Su Yalin smiled slyly: "Five times?"
"Cough cough..." Xu Xian coughed heavily twice: "Please stop insulting my character. I am not a frivolous person."
"Ten times?" Su Yalin looked at Xu Xian's slightly trembling shoulders, and she was already laughing inside.
"Ten times!" Xu Xian whirled around, glaring at Su Yalin. "You think money can solve everything? You think money can make me submit? You're wrong!"
Xu Xian's words were a wake-up call, like the words of truth, and he vowed to resist the erosion of boundless money.
At this moment, Xu Xian's figure was incredibly tall, seemingly radiating a holy light from behind, the brilliance of morality.
Xu Xian pointed at Su Yalin, trembling all over: "Your thinking is dangerous. I feel it's necessary for me to correct your evil values!"
Su Yalin's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Come on!"
Xu Xian glared at him: "Too much nonsense!"
Xu Xian handed the bag to Xu Jingyang and instructed, "I'm going to keep Ya Lin company and talk to her. We'll have dinner out."
After saying that, he took a casual jacket from his bag, put it on, and led Su Yalin away, leaving Wang Ziming watching the two leave with an envious look on his face.
