"Are you not going to apologize to Director Zhang?" Lin Hai said to the security guard beside him.

The security guard looked aggrieved, but dared not speak out, hesitated and just refused to open his mouth.

At this moment, many people were surrounding them, and when they first saw Lin Hai, they thought that he, who dared to confront Bitch Li, would definitely stand up against Zhang Pujie.

With a mentality of watching a drama, they gathered around.

But unexpectedly, Lin Hai actually asked his subordinate to apologize to Zhang Pujie. Isn't this a submission?

Some who originally thought Lin Hai had integrity, who usually dared to be angry but dared not speak against Zhang Pujie, shook their heads and sighed.

There were also some who openly displayed a contemptuous look towards Lin Hai.

"Used to think Lin Hai had some backbone, but it turns out he feared the background of Li Taixui behind Zhang Pujie, and actually bowed his head. I really overestimated him before," some thought to themselves.

The other security guards watching secretly felt extremely disappointed at this moment, sighing quietly, thinking that following Lin Hai they wouldn't have to take flack, but now, they were very let down.

Some looked at Lin Hai with eyes that were no longer warm, nor admiring, but cold.

Fan Jian inwardly thought to himself, "This is bad."

"Brother Lin…" Fan Jian wanted to speak up as a reminder.

Lin Hai raised his hand, stopping Fan Jian, and said to the security guard again, "Aren't you going to apologize? How have I taught you all this time?"

Some people sneered relentlessly.

Several security guards hidden in the shadows felt extremely disappointed.

The security guards under Wang Dajun's regime were taking pleasure in Lin Hai's misfortune, their eyes filled with disdain, thinking, "If Brother Wang were here, he surely wouldn't act like Lin Hai; at least he would have made Zhang Pujie retreat!"

"This Lin Hai, really came from lowly beginnings, his peasant aura is too strong; those security guards following him are going to have a rough time ahead."

Some people took pleasure in his misfortune.

Others scorned Lin Hai.

The security guard felt extremely wronged, looking at Lin Hai with disbelief in his eyes.

Is this the Brother Lin who he always thought was a decent person? Could it be that for his own interests, he could sacrifice his subordinates?

Zhang Pujie was very pleased with Lin Hai's performance, snorted in satisfaction, raised his head, ready to accept the security guard's apology.

"Director Zhang…" The security guard clenched his teeth, struggling to speak.

"Hmm? Speak up, what do you want to say? Are you not a man anymore?" Zhang Pujie didn't forget to strike at the security guard.

Yet, he thought to himself, "You blind fool, dare to block my way, nothing but a bunch of gatekeepers, even your big gatekeeper Lin Hai has submitted to me, and you still stupidly don't know to apologize, deserved to be humiliated."

"People of lower status should know their place, huh!"

The security guard's face turned red, then pale, being a man, he felt extremely humiliated in this situation.

"Enough, Director Zhang, he's young and ignorant, who hasn't had a fiery youth?" Lin Hai started to smooth things over.

The security guard didn't look at Lin Hai with grateful eyes, just stood there silently, feeling disheartened.

Fan Jian inwardly thought this was bad, with Brother Lin acting this way, wasn't it weakening his own authority? Who would listen to him among the group in the future?

But he was helpless in his urgency, as Brother Lin wouldn't let him speak!

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Zhang Pujie showed a smug grin, raised his head, too lazy to even glance at Lin Hai, and hummed, "If he won't apologize to me, someone else has to, right?"

After finishing, Zhang Pujie's gaze fixated directly on Lin Hai, clearly implying that Lin Hai should apologize on Xiaobao's behalf.

As long as Lin Hai apologized in front of everyone, who would dare to be arrogant towards him in the company in the future?

Zhang Pujie's scheme was undeniably venomous.

Lin Hai kept a smiling expression on his face and nodded, "Alright, Director Zhang, I apologize. My brothers shouldn't have blocked you, even if you were late, they should have let you in, right, Director Zhang?"

Zhang Pujie, with eyes closed, appeared calm and collected. After hearing Lin Hai's words, he nodded and gave a grunt from his nose, acknowledging Lin Hai's response.

At this moment, everyone was extremely disappointed in Lin Hai.

Many looked down on him with disdain, even secretly planning to pull a similar stunt tomorrow to seize the opportunity to suppress Lin Hai harshly.

Many were still upset about Lin Hai suddenly becoming the head of the security department.

Especially the followers of Wang Dajun, they saw this as a perfect opportunity. If they could deplete Lin Hai's authority, the department would treat him coldly, gradually undermine his power, and then opportunistically take over as head of security, replacing Lin Hai was not impossible.

Everyone harbored their own ulterior motives and cunning plans.

Lin Hai squinted, capturing the glances and emotional fluctuations of these people, his heart sneered coldly.

"Director Zhang, are you satisfied?" Lin Hai continued to ask with a smiling expression.

Zhang Pujie nodded, appearing quite pleased, and gestured with his hand, "Alright, I won't make it difficult for you. You young fellow, be more observant and humble in the future, it always reduces losses. If it were someone else, that little gatekeeping dog would probably have been beaten to death by now."

At these words, the faces of the security staff present drastically changed, but they dared not voice their anger.

Lin Hai's sneer grew colder in his heart, but his face maintained a sunny smile.

Seeing that it was about time, Zhang Pujie stood up, figuring it was time to go have some tea, kill some time, and then clock out.

Today, he felt extremely proud, feeling like he was incredibly awesome.

However, just as Zhang Pujie took his first step, a strong arm blocked his path.

Zhang Pujie, caught off-guard, was bumped by the arm and fell backward, losing his balance. He crashed to the ground with a loud clang, accidentally hitting his head on a female employee's foot, nearly tripping her.

Zhang Pujie's eyes widened in shock, not expecting anyone to dare block him, and under a mix of panic and rage, his face turned particularly ugly. Damn it, making a fool of himself in front of so many people.

The middle-aged female employee immediately let out a scream.

"Who? Who the hell is blind? Almost killed me." Zhang Pujie, furious and embarrassed, quickly scrambled up, glaring around him and challenged.

"Hehe, Director Zhang, it was me who stopped you," Lin Hai said with a light smile.

"Lin Hai, what do you mean?" Zhang Pujie burst out in anger, thinking to himself, are you blind, Lin Hai?

"It means nothing much, my person was rude, and I have apologized for him. Yet, you insulted my brother, and you were also late and breaking rules. This matter, I haven't settled with you yet!"

The last words "settled with you" were emphasized by Lin Hai with a forceful tone, his voice robustly resonant, and suddenly his presence surged, his gaze fiercely imposing.

"You, you're looking for death, daring to talk to me this way!" Zhang Pujie, enraged and humiliated, shouted loudly.

Lin Hai smiled coldly, "Director Zhang, others might fear you, but I, Lin Hai, am not afraid of you. If we can't clarify things today, my brothers will be disheartened, and the company's regulations will become a joke, huh!"

Fan Jian and everyone around suddenly had a lightbulb moment, realizing the truth.

"Indeed, Lin Hai had Xiaobao apologize to prevent Zhang Pujie from grabbing hold of any leverage, but after apologizing, Lin Hai started his counterattack. This approach of courtesy first, then soldiers, is undeniably ingenious."

Those Xiaobao who misunderstood Lin Hai had once again a look of admiration and fervor in their eyes towards Lin Hai, and some felt a burning pain on their faces; their previous assumptions were directly shattered by Lin Hai's actions, like a heavy slap across their faces.

Zhang Pujie glared at Lin Hai with a venomous gaze.
