Chapter 65 The CEO's girlfriend is fiercely protective of her boyfriend, and the scumbag's acting skills explode!
A crisp slap echoed in the corridor.
Zhao Bin tilted his head to the side and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
The other security guards were dumbfounded.
The security captain was also dumbfounded.
"Xiao Li... this isn't right..." Aunt Su tugged at Ning Jinli's sleeve and whispered.
She thought that although Xiao Li was the big boss of the company, beating a department general manager like this in front of several employees would probably have an impact.
Ning Jinli lowered her head, her eyes filled with a smile, and whispered, "He deserved it. It's alright, just watch the show."
Zhao Bin shook his head, feeling dizzy, before gradually regaining his senses.
"You...you actually dared to hit me?!" He covered his face with one hand and pointed at Xiao Zhang with the other.
The security captain, having recovered from his shock, helped the swaying Mr. Zhao up and yelled at Xiao Zhang, "Are you fucking brain-dead? Can't you tell the difference between big and small kings?!"
The security captain was both surprised and angry, and couldn't understand why this kid had gone crazy and actually listened to others to hit his own senior executive.
I've seen people make stupid mistakes, but I've never seen anyone this stupid!
Could it be that he was blinded by lust because he thought the woman was pretty and wanted to impress her?
"Damn it, you idiot!" the security captain cursed again, and quickly checked Zhao Bin's injuries.
Xiao Zhang grinned, his eyes showing a hint of lingering satisfaction.
He had been putting up with Zhao Bin for a long time, and slapping him was quite satisfying, but it wasn't enough.
"Mr. Zhao, are you alright?" the security captain asked cautiously.
Zhao Bin's face was half red and swollen, and half ashen. "Are you blind?! I've been beaten up like this, how can I be okay?! How can you manage people like this? You've been fucking pissing and defecating on my head!"
The security captain was thoroughly berated and yelled at the other security guards beside him, "Are you all blind?! Why aren't you doing anything?!"
Several security guards looked nervously at Xiao Zhang, who was covered in muscles.
Although Xiao Zhang was the last to join the security team and the youngest, he was quite the fighter.
Otherwise, if Boss Wu needed someone to keep order in place for something, the security captain wouldn't have sent him.
"Beat them! Or I'll fire you all!" the security captain roared.
The security guards thought for a moment, exchanged glances, and then steeled themselves and rushed forward.
However, they didn't dare to actually do it.
It's only a few thousand yuan a month, not worth risking your life.
Seeing them swinging their fists and blinking rapidly, Xiao Zhang understood what they meant. He quickly knocked them to the ground without using much force.
The security guards collapsed and wouldn't get up, clutching their arms and legs and crying out in pain.
They all pretended to be incredibly convincing.
"Good-for-nothing! Useless trash!" The security captain was so angry he was practically fuming. He didn't bother to gather more security guards and instead rolled up his sleeves and charged at Xiao Zhang.
Snap!
Another crisp sound.
The security captain's cheek stung with pain as he stared incredulously at Xiao Zhang, who had just slapped him. "You fucking...you even dare to hit me?"
Xiao Zhang grinned broadly, "I've already beaten Zhao Bin, what difference does it make if you're just a lackey?"
As he spoke, he raised his arm again.
The security captain was so frightened that he retreated like a turtle, and before he knew it, he tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his back.
Several security guards lying on the ground pretending to wail and howl almost couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Zhang straightened his collar, raised his head, stood tall, turned around, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button.
The elevator doors opened, and he politely gestured, "Ms. Ning, please."
Ning Jinli helped Aunt Su inside, with Xiao Zhang following closely behind, helping to press the button for the eighth floor.
The security captain scrambled over to Zhao Bin's side. "Mr. Zhao...should we call the police?"
Zhao Bin stared menacingly at the closing elevator doors. "Report my ass! When the police come and check the security footage, they'll see me hitting the cleaning lady."
"Are we just going to send someone to complain to the CEO like this?"
"Did you get fucking beaten senseless? Have you forgotten that the CEO is my girlfriend?"
"Oh right, Mr. Zhao, please don't be angry, I... I didn't react for a moment..."
The security captain, his face full of flattery, said, "That girl went to complain to Mr. Zhao's girlfriend, and that's when she ran into trouble. It's true that Mr. Zhao is capable."
Zhao Bin spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and sneered, "Come on, follow me to the president's office!"
He'd love to see Ning Jinli get her comeuppance later.
The security captain bowed and scraped as he opened another elevator door for him.
Led by Xiao Zhang, Ning Jinli arrived at the president's office, knocked on the door, and heard a "Come in" from inside. Ning Jinli then pushed the door open and entered.
In the spacious and bright office, a woman in business attire is looking down at a document.
Xiao Zhang whispered to Ning Jinli that the man in question was the company president, President An.
"Hello, President An," Ning Jinli greeted.
The woman looked up, realized they weren't company employees, and sized them up before asking, "Who are you?"
When Ning Jinli saw the woman's appearance clearly, she was taken aback.
Isn't this... the woman I saw in Zhao Bin's WeChat Moments photos before?
His rich girlfriend!
Now Ning Jinli understood. No wonder Zhao Bin was the department general manager here, and no wonder he was so arrogant and domineering. So that's what happened.
Ning Jinli began by introducing herself, "President An, I am—"
"She's here to cause trouble!" Zhao Bin entered the office with the security captain, then swaggered over to the desk. "Honey, did I scare you?"
President An frowned and lowered his voice, "Didn't I tell you not to shout like that in the company?"
Zhao Bin laughed and said, "It's okay. There aren't many people from our company here. Besides, almost everyone in the company knows about our relationship."
President An looked helpless. Suddenly, he noticed a handprint on Zhao Bin's face. He quickly stood up and walked over to him, asking anxiously and with concern, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?!"
Zhao Bin pointed at Xiao Zhang and sneered, "This kid did it."
Then he moved his finger toward Ning Jinli and added, "At her behest."
The security captain immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Mr. An, I can vouch for that!"
Just as Mr. An was about to get angry, he suddenly realized that the young man he had identified was wearing the company's security guard uniform.
Looking at another young woman, she was clearly not an employee here, and I had never seen her before.
An outsider instructed the company's security guards to assault the department manager?
Moreover, the middle-aged woman accompanying the girl not only had slap marks on her face and abrasions on her forehead, but her clothes were also dirty.
This situation seems completely off...
"Mr. An!" Xiao Zhang shouted, "The incident started because Zhao Bin hit this cleaning lady, and then—"
"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak?!" the security captain quickly reprimanded. "You dare to address General Manager Zhao by his full name?"
Before Ning Jinli could explain, Zhao Bin quickly pulled President An to the French windows.
“Honey, I’ll tell you the details later.”
"It's not a big deal anyway, please help me out, I'm begging you."
Zhao Bin spoke softly, and his fairly handsome face wore a pitiful expression.
Mr. An, who was several years older than him, always fell for his charms, and couldn't help but soften his heart, saying softly, "I'll help you deal with it, but I need to hear what they have to say, right?"
"No..." Zhao Bin grabbed President An's hand, gritted his teeth, and whispered in his ear, "Those are my ex-girlfriend and one of her relatives. They're just here to cause trouble for me. Can you believe what they say?"
Upon hearing that it was his ex-girlfriend causing trouble, President An's expression instantly changed, his eyes filled with cold hostility.
She had heard Zhao Bin say that he only had one ex-girlfriend. He dated her for four years in college, but she dumped him because he was poor.
In her heart, Zhao Bin was a pitiful little man who was devoted to his love but was cruelly abandoned.
Zhao Bin seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "It's really nothing serious. Her relative works as a cleaner here, and she tripped and fell, insisting that I was the one who caused it. Well... this just gave her an excuse..."
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, leave it to me." President An gently touched Zhao Bin's cheek. "I'll back you up."
She knew that this matter was definitely more complicated than Zhao Bin had described.
However, of course, one should protect their own boyfriend.
What's more, the person who came to his door was someone who had seriously hurt him in the past.
"Tell me, how much money do you want?" President An crossed his arms and walked up to Ning Jinli with a cold face.
Ning Jinli shook her head, "This isn't about money."
President An scoffed, "Then what do you want?"
Faced with this unfriendly attitude, Ning Jinli calmly uttered three words, "Expel him."
Mr. An's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked him up and down, saying, "You really can't stand to see him doing well? I've been there too, I know what you're thinking. Alright, stop wasting time. While I still have patience, you can name your price, take the money and leave, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"He's bewitched you too, hasn't he, sister?" Ning Jinli smiled calmly. "I can tell you want to protect him, but do you really know what kind of person he is?"
Anger flashed in President An's eyes. "What, you're trying to sow discord between me and him?"
Ning Jinli glanced at Zhao Bin, who was leisurely sitting in the CEO's office chair. He was casually playing with a pen and gave her a smug look when he met her gaze.
Ning Jinli withdrew her gaze. "President An, he was arrested a few days ago, and you bailed him out, right? Don't you know what he did wrong?"
President An said coldly, "He told me that you deliberately threw yourself at him and then turned around and accused him of attempted molestation. If he hadn't stopped me, I would have settled the score with you."
Ning Jinli smiled helplessly.
That's right. With Zhao Bin's sweet talk, even if the police testified, he could still fool his girlfriend.
Seeing that President An was completely unaware of the situation, Ning Jinli felt sympathy for him. After all, she was also a woman, and she herself had been a victim before.
At this moment, Zhao Bin was extremely smug.
He particularly enjoyed seeing Ning Jinli's helpless, defeated expression.
Having a high-ranking CEO girlfriend shield him in front of his ex-girlfriend—that feeling is simply wonderful.
"I'm telling you, that's enough," Zhao Bin stretched and smirked at Ning Jinli. "My darling has already given you plenty of face. Don't be ungrateful. If you keep making trouble, believe me, we'll sue you in the name of the company."
Ning Jinli smiled and asked, "Tell me what?"
Zhao Bin declared defiantly, "I'm suing you for provoking trouble! For deliberately disrupting our company's operations!"
“He’s right, I can sue you like that, and I guarantee you’ll go to jail,” Mr. An warned. “But, considering you’re still young, I don’t want to ruin your future. I’ll give you five minutes to think it over: do you want to take the money and leave, or go to jail?”
Anger surged in President An's eyes, clearly indicating that he had reached the limit of his patience.
Ning Jinli thought for a moment, looked into her eyes, and said, "Based on what you just said, I think you're actually a decent person. Let me show you something."
As she spoke, Ning Jinli took out her phone, quickly found a video in her photo album, and showed it to President An.
Zhao Bin frowned, propped himself up on the desk with both hands, and craned his neck to look around.
"This is..." President An was stunned. He immediately recognized that the video showed the front gate of the villa that Zhao Bin had rented.
The two people were hugging and cuddling intimately at the door; the woman's face was blurred, but the man's was not.
That man... who else could it be but Zhao Bin?!
President An's face grew increasingly grim, and his hands clenched into fists.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Zhao Bin sensed something was amiss and got up to approach her. "What did she show you?"
"Look what you've done!" President An turned around and slapped him across the face.
Snap!
A red mark instantly appeared on the other half of Zhao Bin's face.
"What...what did I do?" Zhao Bin asked, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Ning Jinli confidently showed him her phone screen, "President Zhao, do you remember me?"
Zhao Bin's eyes widened instantly, and he reached out to grab the phone.
Ning Jinli withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and said with a smile, "Don't get excited, I have a backup. Even if you take my phone, it won't help."
"This..." Zhao Bin's face flushed red, "This is...this is a fake video made by AI!"
"Honey, she's using this fabricated video to frame me!" He grabbed Mr. An's arm, trying to shift the blame. "These days, AI technology is so advanced, it can create incredibly realistic fakes! Don't believe her! She's deliberately trying to ruin our relationship!"
President An's face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling.
Ning Jinli said slowly, "Then let's go find a professional institution to have it appraised?"
Zhao Bin's cheek twitched.
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth and his girlfriend was about to explode, he steeled himself, knelt down, and said, "Darling... baby, I... I can explain..."
President An spat out a few words through gritted teeth, "How do you intend to argue?!"
Zhao Bin was covered in sweat. "That woman seduced me! I... I was just pretending to cooperate with her so I could find out what her purpose was in seducing me."
"I...I...I swear to God, I absolutely did not have a relationship with her!"
He sounded somewhat guilty as he told the lie that came out of his mouth so easily.
But once he said that last sentence, he became exceptionally firm, his eyes more resolute than ever before, without the slightest hesitation.
Looking into his eyes with a glimmer of hope, President An asked, "You...you really aren't lying to me?"
"Of course not!" Zhao Bin raised three fingers. "If I had a relationship with her, may I die a horrible death, may I be struck by lightning!"
At that moment, Zhao Bin felt incredibly fortunate that the girl hadn't slept with him after his persistent pleading.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the confidence or courage to make a solemn oath now.
“Baby…you still don’t believe me? Do you believe my ex-girlfriend?” Zhao Bin looked up at her with a wronged expression, his eyes filled with tears, and held her hands in his. “I’m your boyfriend, the one who loves you the most…”
Zhao Bin's acting was so smooth and natural.
Not to mention that President An, who already loved him, was heartbroken, even the security captain standing to the side was moved.
Xiao Zhang and Aunt Su were completely dumbfounded.
Even Ning Jinli, who knew the whole truth, couldn't help but admire his acting skills. No wonder he was the scumbag who had fooled her so easily. It was a waste of his talent that he didn't become an actor.
“Darling, I…” President An’s newly established psychological defenses were gradually broken down.
Zhao Bin seized the opportunity and added fuel to the fire, turning to glare at Ning Jinli and roaring through tears:
"Whether you have a problem with me or hold a grudge against me, come at me alone! Why did you have to hurt my girlfriend too?! Are you really that cruel and vicious?!"
