“I’m not entirely sure, but I’m certain he’s not an employee of this company,” Veneto replied, a hint of displeasure flashing across his brow. “I don’t recall this company training such rude employees.”
"What are they doing standing outside this company?"
“Probably…it’s probably for lookout duty.” Veneto thought for a moment and explained to Xiaobai, “It’s probably like a seal that marks off an important area and keeps unauthorized personnel out.”
"Huh? Could it be a criminal?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
I had just dealt with a deep-sea cult that was lurking in Cloud City a few days ago. I thought I could enjoy two more days of peace and quiet. How come I ran into a criminal gang again just by going out shopping with Veneto?
Is the public security in Yuncheng really this bad?
Is this Cloud City or Gotham...?
Xiao Bai was internally complaining.
Veneto silently watched the men who had fainted on either side of the gate. She thought for a moment, then bent down and rummaged through their pockets, finally finding two business cards.
“…As expected.” Veneto looked at the business card in his hand, his gaze first widening in surprise, then he shook his head in realization, looking helplessly at Xiaobai, “Admiral, they are not an illegal organization.”
"Isn't it an illegal organization?" Xiaobai quickly stepped forward.
"Hmm." Veneto handed the business card to Xiaobai. "Admiral, take a look."
Xiao Bai took the business card and looked down at it.
"Yuncheng Yilu Ping'an Security Protection Co., Ltd., Employee xxx, ID number..." Xiaobai murmured to himself, staring at the business card. Suddenly, he paused, "Huh? What company is on this business card..."
“This is also a security company,” Veneto sighed, explaining to Xiaobai, “Now I understand everything. They must be competitors trying to challenge us.”
"Challenge the school... oh, this." Xiao Bai held the business card and gave Veneto a wry smile. "It sounds like a martial arts school from a TV drama..."
“It does resemble a martial arts school.” Veneto stepped forward, took the business card from Xiaobai’s hand, stuffed it back into the unconscious man’s clothes, and turned to Xiaobai to say, “After all, martial arts schools teach students martial arts, and security companies train their employees. Some competitors want a piece of the pie and want to quickly make a name for themselves in the industry. There’s nothing faster than challenging a school.”
"Is that so...? What if I get kicked out?"
"Just fight back."
"What if we've never fought before?"
“…Then everyone in the industry will know you can’t beat them.” Veneto smiled at Xiaobai. “It’s possible your performance will plummet from then on.”
"...Veneto, when you used to work here, did you often encounter people challenging you?" Xiao Bai couldn't help but ask, seeing how familiar Veneto was with the place.
"It doesn't happen often, but it does happen occasionally. Most of them are small, fledgling companies that have just opened and are eager to get ahead. They don't have any real substance."
"So it seems like this time will be the same?"
“It’s a little different.”
"where?"
“This time, the challenger is a big company.” Veneto said, a deep, seasoned look in his eyes as he stared at the company’s open doors. “It doesn’t look like it’ll be easy to deal with.”
"Uh……"
"Admiral, let's go in and take a look."
"Okay." Xiaobai nodded, then looked at the two men who had fainted on either side of the company and asked curiously, "What about these two?"
"Don't worry, Admiral. I was very careful with my actions. They should only be unconscious for about half an hour."
"Such precise chop!"
"Does the Admiral want to learn? I can teach you."
"Is this okay?"
"Yes, but you have to be careful in actual combat. If you hit too hard, it could kill someone."
"Uh... well, let's forget about it then..."
Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and walked into the company gate in front of him while talking to Veneto.
Just a few minutes ago, when Xiaobai and Veneto were outside, they could see men in suits appearing and disappearing through the open company doors. But now, when they entered the security company, they found that the entire lobby had suddenly become empty. All they could see were workstations, and there was no one else there.
"Huh, where did everyone go?" Xiaobai looked around curiously.
“We can’t really challenge them here, it would be a hassle if we break things.” Veneto pointed in the direction of the elevator. “The security company’s building has a gym that they’ve booked. It’s a huge place, and it also has a dedicated area for training combat skills. Everyone should be there now.”
"It really is a gym..."
Xiaobai and Veneto chatted as if no one else was around, taking turns talking as they walked through the empty first floor, entered the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the second floor.
The elevator came to a stop while it was quietly ascending.
The elevator door opens.
"Master Ye, attack his lower body! His lower body!!!"
"Go, Master Ye! Defeat these punks!"
"Master Ye, keep your lower body steady, Master Ye!"
Master Ye
"..."
As the elevator doors opened, a sudden burst of loud noise rushed in.
Chapter 2482 The Importance of Female Audiences (Part 5)
After the elevator doors opened, Xiaobai was greeted by a sea of heads.
A large group of men in suits were seen raising their arms and shouting at a boxing ring in the center of the gym.
Amidst the men's fierce shouts, two slender figures were locked in a fierce battle on the boxing ring. The sounds of their limbs colliding were deafening. One of them bent slightly and unleashed a barrage of punches like a raging dragon, relentlessly hammering at his opponent. Under his onslaught, the opponent could only defend with difficulty, retreating step by step until he was finally forced to the edge of the ring.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
With a furious roar, the man who was attacking fiercely threw a final punch that broke through the target's defense and slammed into the opponent's chin.
The man's opponent in the ring was struck hard in the chin, his eyelids rolled back, he lost consciousness, and his body went limp as he collapsed onto the ring.
“Well done!!!”
"Master Ye is awesome!!!"
"Let's beat these shameless bastards, hahaha!"
"..."
The men in the audience cheered when they saw this.
Ding ding ding————
"In the first men's combat event, Yuncheng First Security Protection Co., Ltd. takes the lead!" A man shouted as he moved the scoreboard in his hand from zero to one near the arena.
As the man shouted, the men in suits in the gym immediately cheered.
……
At the elevator entrance, Xiaobai, who had just stepped out of the elevator, looked at the bustling scene in the gym and couldn't help but applaud.
"Oh...this challenge is even more intense than I imagined..." Xiao Bai said to Veneto, "And I heard the announcer shouting, 'Veneto, did your company just win a point?'"
"Hmm...it seems so." Veneto looked at the ring and stared at the scoreboard in the distance for a while, but instead of showing any joy, she frowned slightly.
"Veneto? What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Veneto curiously.
“…Admiral, let’s move forward a bit.” Veneto shook her head, gesturing for Xiaobai to move forward with her.
"Oh oh oh..."
Xiaobai and Veneto approached the crowd.
Most of the people in the gym are tall men. People with physiques like Xiaobai and Veneto are completely invisible to men unless they deliberately look down. At this moment, the men's eyes and attention are completely drawn to the exciting fight on the ring, so much so that they do not notice two girls who are completely different from the style of the gym and are slowly moving towards the ring from their blind spot.
Near the scoreboard by the ring, the two groups were clearly divided.
One group was wearing black suits, while the other group was wearing black shirts.
The men in black suits stood next to the scoreboard that read "Yuncheng First Security Protection Co., Ltd." The man who won the match waved to the cheering crowd around him, wiped the sweat from his brow, jumped off the stage, and returned to the men in suits.
"Manager, I have accomplished my mission." The man returned to the group of men in suits and nodded to the leader of the group.
"Master Ye, you've worked hard." The man whom Master Ye addressed as manager nodded, patted Master Ye's shoulder, and then pressed it firmly. "You've just finished a match and you're exhausted. Go backstage and rest."
"No need, I want to see it all the way to the end with everyone!" Master Ye shook his head, his gaze upright.
"..." The manager loosened his grip on Master Ye's shoulder. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. He just smiled slightly, feeling a little pressured, and put his hands down.
Even though their side had won the point first, the manager's expression looked somewhat serious.
The man who had been knocked unconscious on the stage was quickly carried off.
From another group of people dressed in black shirts, a effeminate man with the word "General Manager" on his chest stepped forward. He clapped in Master Ye's direction, his face full of admiration: "Hahaha, as expected of the number one bodyguard in Xiangyu Cloud City, Master Ye's fighting skills are simply divine! He is truly a role model for us all! If Master Ye is willing to work for my company, we will definitely treat you as an honored guest! You can name your salary and benefits!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Upon hearing his opponent's praise, Master Ye gently raised his hand towards them, his expression unchanged. "However, I still prefer the feeling of being at this company. Please leave."
"Haha, it's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." The other party's general manager looked at them with a smile.
“Colleague, poaching someone right to their face is a bit low-class,” the leader of the men in suits said, patting Master Ye on the shoulder.
"That's true, I apologize." The general manager apologized, but there was no remorse on his face. "It's a rare opportunity for us to exchange ideas today. After the exchange, would your company be interested in having a team-building activity with ours? To exchange ideas and strengthen our relationship? I believe we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Let's wait until it's over before we talk about it," the leader of the men in suits said, frowning.
"Haha, yes, that's right!" The opposing general manager laughed heartily. "We just lost a game, it's time to start the second one!"
At this point, the opposing general manager walked over to the scoreboard and lifted the second row of scoreboards.
"As we all know, those of us in the security industry, in addition to improving the quality of our own employees, also need to take into account the diversity of our employees. If we encounter female customers with sensitive identities, it would be really unacceptable to send them male bodyguards who don't understand romance."
"Therefore, female bodyguards are a key project for our company's development!"
The man in the suit frowned upon hearing this.
Most of the people on the side of the man in the suit began to stare at the crowd behind him with a look that suggested he was a scoundrel.
Over 90% of the bodyguards at Yuncheng First Security Protection Company are male, with a low percentage of female bodyguards.
Meanwhile, the opposing team that came to challenge them consisted of 90% female bodyguards, while the remaining 10% of men seemed to be just bystanders.
Such a setup clearly indicates that this is a security company primarily training female bodyguards.
The general manager in the black shirt didn't seem to care about the other person's gaze at all. He stood tall and straight, and from the group of women in black shirts behind him, one by one, female bodyguards stepped forward at his call.
"The second competition event, women's combat!" The opposing general manager shouted out the second event, looking at the man in the suit with a confident expression. "Colleague, choose your team."
Upon hearing the details of the second competition, the men around him immediately began to buzz and make noise.
Chapter 2483 An Unfair System
"Damn it, isn't this bullying?!"
"You know our company has few female bodyguards, so you've come here specifically to compete with us in terms of female bodyguards, haven't you!"
"You don't even have any shame!"
"If Sister Wei were still here, would we have let these people ride roughshod over us like this—"
"..."
Behind the man in the suit, a great uproar of dissatisfaction erupted from the crowd.
Hearing the complaints from the group in suits, the general manager in the black shirt smiled even more broadly.
"In our industry, fairness is paramount. You know our company has a female-dominated structure," the general manager in the black shirt said with a smile to the leader of the men in the suit. "But even so, we gritted our teeth and participated in the men's combat event before. I hope you won't have any objections to the women's combat event now?"
"Of course not." The man in the suit looked serious, but still shook his head.
"As expected of the most successful security company in Yuncheng, you really have vision." The other party's general manager smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
The second round of the challenge has begun.
The man in the suit selected one of the few female bodyguards to step onto the stage, while the general manager in the black shirt randomly sent one of his female bodyguards to fight.
The tournament begins.
The two female bodyguards who stepped onto the stage nodded to each other and retreated to a safe distance before engaging in fierce combat, which began with the sound of gongs and drums.
As expected of the security company led by the general manager in the black shirt, which specializes in training female bodyguards, they invest an exceptionally large amount of resources in training them, and naturally, the female bodyguards they send out are extremely capable.
The female bodyguard sent by the man in the suit was immediately overwhelmed by the opposing fighter. The opposing female bodyguard fought steadily and relentlessly, each punch landing with deadly force. The ring was filled with a flurry of punches and kicks, and the female bodyguard on the black-shirt side was completely pinned down and unable to move. Even with a significant advantage, the female fighter on the black-shirt side gave the female bodyguard on the man in the suit no chance to turn the tide.
In just a few minutes, the situation in the arena had already become one-sided.
Finally, with a powerful side kick from the opposing female bodyguard, the female fighter sent out by the man in the suit was caught off guard and only managed to let out a muffled groan before falling to the ground.
