Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Yong clenched his left fist and smashed it toward Li Xiaoyao's head.

Li Xiaoyao didn't even try to dodge; he grabbed Li Yong's wrist and with a slight effort, a cracking sound was heard—Li Yong's wrist had been broken by Li Xiaoyao.

"Ah!" Li Yong cried out in agony.

Li Xiaoyao's foot kicked the wheel of the chair, and suddenly the chair slid backward from under him, slamming into Li Yong's belly, bending his body and draining him of strength.

Turning around, Li Xiaoyao delivered a kick to Li Yong's lower leg, and Li Yong fell to his knees with a thud.

Li Xiaoyao grabbed Li Yong by the hair and dragged him out of the meeting room like that.

The room full of security guards wore faces of disbelief.

Li Yong was an ex-serviceman with a not-so-weak set of skills, but in Li Xiaoyao's hands, he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Watching Li Xiaoyao beat Li Yong so badly excited everyone in the room.

Li Yong had thought this new manager was an easy target, but who could have imagined that this new manager, once he started to fight, would be so ruthless?

Li Xiaoyao held onto Li Yong's hair, dragging him all the way to the elevator.

Along the way, the employees who saw this scene stopped in their tracks and looked over in surprise.

Anger surged in Li Yong's heart; today was a huge loss of face. He hadn't expected this pretty boy to actually be skilled.

Li Yong tried to pick himself up from the ground but found eerily that he couldn't move his body at all.

Of course, he couldn't move; Li Xiaoyao had sealed all his acupoints.

With his body stiff, Li Yong was dragged by Li Xiaoyao into the elevator, where there were a few people already inside. They looked at Li Yong lying motionless on the floor, first in surprise, then with schadenfreude expressions.

"Ding!"

The elevator arrived, and Li Xiaoyao walked out to face them, but he was a bit late and the elevator doors closed momentarily, catching Li Yong's head.

"Clang!" There was a loud noise as Li Yong was caught quite hard.

Stepping out of the elevator, Li Xiaoyao came face to face with Zhuo Yi, who was standing beside another woman—a cold-faced beauty.

Li Xiaoyao's gaze lingered on this woman for a couple of seconds before he greeted Zhuo Yi and was ready to leave.

Zhuo Yi called out to Li Xiaoyao and introduced the beauty beside her, "This is Director Lan."

Director Lan?

Li Xiaoyao paused for a moment, he remembered—the chairman of Panlan International had the surname Lan, right?

He had always thought the chairman of Panlan International was a man, but now Zhuo Yi was telling him that the chairman was a woman, and not just any woman—a great beauty!

Li Xiaoyao casually dropped Li Yong on the ground and extended his right hand, saying, "Hello, Director Lan."

Lan Cai glanced at Li Xiaoyao, didn't shake his hand, looked down at Li Yong on the floor, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Li Xiaoyao retracted his hand with a smile and said, "A stray dog barged in, I was just about to throw it out."

Li Yong on the ground was furious, this brat dared to call him a stray dog.

"Director Lan, he hit me, you must stand up for..." Li Yong didn't get to finish, as Li Xiaoyao had already stuffed a shoe into his mouth.

"Director Lan, I'm off to chase away the dog, goodbye."

After saying this, Li Xiaoyao grabbed one of Li Yong's legs and dragged him towards the company's exit.

Lan Cai watched Li Xiaoyao's retreating figure and asked softly, "Is he Li Xiaoyao?"

Zhuo Yi tried to read her response but couldn't make out any emotion on Lan Cai's face.

She nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, it's him."

"Oh." Lan Cai turned and walked toward the elevator, without even asking why Li Xiaoyao had hit Li Yong.

...

Li Xiaoyao threw Li Yong out of the company, released his acupoints, and said, "Remember, from now on, this is my territory. You show up once, I will hit you once. Got it?"

Li Yong really wanted to talk tough, but thinking of Li Xiaoyao's eerie and terrifying skills, he chickened out. Before leaving, he dropped a tough line, "Li Xiaoyao, I'll remember you. Just you wait, I will find someone to kill you."

Li Xiaoyao chuckled disdainfully, he didn't take such scum seriously at all.

Li Xiaoyao didn't go straight back to his office but headed to the security department instead.

He noticed that the flunky who was close to Li Yong was still there and gave him a particular look. When the flunky saw Li Xiaoyao looking over, he immediately lowered his head.

With Li Yong dealt with by Li Xiaoyao, the flunky certainly didn't have the nerve to challenge him.

Li Xiaoyao didn't plan to deal with him just yet; what he needed to do now was to sort out the atmosphere in the security department.

Li Xiaoyao walked to the front of the conference table and slapped his hand on the table with a "smack." The sound was loud enough to startle everyone into looking over.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Starting today, I will temporarily take over the work of head of the security department. Until the company recruits a new head, you all must report to me with any issues. Did you hear me?"

The security staff responded, "Heard you!"

Li Xiaoyao said, "What, are you all ladies? That's so quiet. Answer me loudly, did you hear me?"

The security staff shouted at the top of their lungs, their faces red and necks swollen, "Heard you!!!!"

Li Xiaoyao nodded, "Good. Now, all of you will introduce yourselves, so I get to know you."

From left to right, it took over an hour for the forty-something security guards to finish introducing themselves.

Li Xiaoyao beckoned to two of the security guards, "Come with me."

Li Xiaoyao led the two security guards to the corridor and said, "Give me a smoke."

Uncertain of Li Xiaoyao's intentions, the guards passed him a cigarette and lighter.

Li Xiaoyao exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I can't stand that flunky."

The security guards exchanged glances, and one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Director Li, what do you want us to do? As long as it's not illegal or against the rules, I'll definitely help you."

Li Xiaoyao smiled satisfactorily, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous, I definitely won't do anything illegal. I guess that flunky usually bullies you guys, and I, for one, hate such people." Li Xiaoyao paused, then asked, "By the way, we have to punch in when we arrive and leave work every day, right?"

The guard quickly agreed, "Everyone has to punch in."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Alright, you guys keep an eye on that flunky over the next few days. If he's late or leaves early, take note of it for me. If he pulls any tricks during work hours, also record it for me, and it's best if you can get it on video with your phones."

The two guards immediately understood what Li Xiaoyao was planning; he was going to get rid of the flunky through proper and above-board means.

The guards said excitedly, "Director Li, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task you've given us."

Li Xiaoyao patted their shoulders, "Stick with me, and you won't miss out on the good life."

The two young security guards' faces were filled with excitement as they nodded vigorously.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Go and let the brothers know, everyone should stay a bit after work tonight, I'll treat everyone to a meal."

The guard was somewhat incredulous; back when Li Yong was the head, he had never offered to treat them to anything.

Even if there was an occasional meal out, he never paid his share.

And now this new director was actually going to treat them to a meal. In that moment, the two guards felt as though springtime was coming to the security department.
