Chapter 414: Chapter 355: Kill the Delivery Guy, Get Promoted Three Ranks

Senior security guard Wang Dongdong of Green Garden Mad City remained dedicated to his beloved post today.

This year marked his sixth working there, and being so young to land a job as a security guard with great prospects, even the property manager lamented that he had saved decades of detours.

He cherished this job very much; come wind or rain, or even a blood-red moon, he always stood guard at the gate.

Even for the residents he knew well, Wang Dongdong insisted on them scanning their cards to enter the community.

And for his colleagues from the property, he would check their staff IDs.

With Wang Dongdong there, Green Garden Mad City was impenetrable to wind and rain, let alone pests like thieves, robbers, and salespeople.

And even for a menace like Bloody Restaurant, Wang Dongdong would risk his skin and dared to pull their delivery guys off their saddles.

Just like the last time, he risked his life and nearly succeeded in preventing them from entering the community.

Although he fell short in the end, he still received accolades from the parent company and made a name for himself in the entire Metropolis property sector.

Hmph, those office building security guards always looked down on their community counterparts, but what happened then?

One of their floors was blown up, and they couldn’t catch anyone. They didn’t even nab a fart.

If it had been him, that kid would’ve left behind at least half a body.

It’s just that the human hadn’t shown up these past few days, otherwise, Wang Dongdong would’ve really let him see the "Skill" he had been researching recently.

"Xiao Dong, ah."

A pot-bellied security guard walked over.

"Captain, I’m here."

Wang Dongdong quickly dropped his proud facade and saluted the security captain.

Having been in the city for so long, he had mastered the skills to survive in Metropolis.

That is, do less, talk less, go out less, and stare at people less.

Whom to hit hard, whom to flatter, and whom to keep at a distance—if you don’t get these three questions straight, guarding the gate is like watching over your own wake.

"You haven’t let in any of those delivery guys recently, have you?"

The security captain asked.

"No, no, rest assured, I’ve got my eyes on it. I guarantee no delivery guy has slipped into our community."

Wang Dongdong said hastily.

The property company treated them well, renting them houses as dorms in Mad City, so saying "our community" wasn’t wrong at all.

"Good, the company said that as long as you stop those delivery guys once, your salary goes up a grade. If you cause their delivery to fail, you’re promoted to property manager directly. If you manage to take them down, you get a three-bedroom house directly."

The security captain said.

"Really?"

Wang Dongdong’s hair stood on end in an instant.

"Of course, it’s true. This came down from the group headquarters. I heard it was from the chairman himself."

The security captain said.

"The chairman is involved in this matter?"

Wang Dongdong’s eyes widened.

"Ah, well, that’s what the manager said anyway. Just know that this is happening, and don’t ask about anything else."

The security captain waved his hand dismissively.

"Got it, got it."

Wang Dongdong quickly nodded.

Knowing too much wasn’t a good thing. He and the delivery guy were nobodies, but the group and Bloody Restaurant were giants; even a dropped screw from them could crush them dead.

"Captain, have a smoke."

He moved his hand to his left pocket but then thought better of it and reached into his right, pulling out a pack of cigarettes bearing a dragon head logo.

"Whoa, you’ve been hitting the jackpot lately, even smoking Old Dragon Heads now?"

The security captain exclaimed in surprise.

He wouldn’t even dare to give such cigarettes as a gift when trying to please someone.

"I bought them specially to honor you, just never found the right moment to give them."

Wang Dongdong was about to open the pack and offer one, but seeing the captain’s expression, he bit his lip and handed over the whole pack instead.

"Xiao Liu, ah, the deputy captain is just hospitalized, far from dead. You’re still young, plenty of opportunities ahead. Don’t get ahead of yourself."

The security captain said meaningfully.

"Hey, captain, where are your thoughts going? I’m just not sure about what you just mentioned and wanted to ask your opinion."

Wang Dongdong said with resignation.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were eager to make progress."

The security captain laughed heartily.

"Go on, take these cigarettes back. Without merit, I can’t accept such valuable things; one sentence from you and I’m getting something this expensive, I fear for my longevity. Take out the pack from your left pocket."

"Hehe."

Wang Dongdong chuckled sheepishly and then took out a pack of cigarettes with a fat-bottomed woman printed on it from his left pocket.

"I’m telling you, kid, you don’t even know how to smoke properly. Both packs cost ten bucks, but Fat Waves aren’t as smooth as Mares."

While the security captain scoffed, his hands unapologetically pocketed the entire pack.

"This thing, it’s really hard to say."

He took out his own cigarettes, lit one for himself, and then lit one for Wang Dongdong.

"Although it’s definitely true, and the reward can’t be faked. But, you know, there’s something fishy about it."

The security captain took a drag and mumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"We’ve been trying to catch these delivery guys for a while now, haven’t we?"

The security captain said.

"Yeah."

Wang Dongdong nodded.

Ever since he became a security guard, he had clashed with Bloody Restaurant’s delivery guys several times, with wins and losses on both sides.

"When has the group ever sent out a specific directive about this with such a lavish reward?"

The security captain continued.

"Never."

"We’re not afraid of Bloody Restaurant, so if the chairman personally assigned it, why not issue a written order?"

Since Metropolis granted Bloody Restaurant the power of forced delivery, there would naturally be corresponding checks and balances.
