Chapter 20 Quickly Transmigrated! Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard Overnight (23)
Steward Sun said with a barely perceptible smile on his face, "The young master admires your ability and sense of responsibility, so he decided to formally hire you. This contract is what you deserve."
I held the contract tightly, and a warm current surged in my heart. This is not just a job, but also a recognition and affirmation. Since my family fell into poverty, I have experienced too much cold eyes and ridicule. Now someone finally sees my value, which makes me feel extremely relieved. I took a deep breath, tried to calm my excitement, and thanked Butler Sun solemnly: "Thank you, Butler Sun, thank you, Master Shen, I will definitely not let you down."
I ignored Captain Zhao's previous sarcasm and threw myself into the work. In the next few days, I checked the Shen family's security system more carefully, recorded all the loopholes and improvement plans I found, and compiled them into a detailed report. This report embodies all my hard work and efforts, and I hope it can truly improve the security level of the Shen family.
When I handed the report to Steward Sun, he read it carefully and showed an expression of appreciation on his face. "Feng Ziang, this report is very well done, very detailed, and very targeted. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort in this regard."
I smiled modestly and said, "I just did what I was supposed to do."
What I didn't expect was that Butler Sun actually praised me in front of all the bodyguards at a staff meeting. "Although Feng Ziang is new, he is serious and responsible in his work and attaches great importance to the safety of the Shen family. The security improvement plan he proposed is very valuable. I have submitted it to the young master, and the young master is also very satisfied."
There was a burst of discussion in the conference room, and I could feel that the eyes around me that were originally suspicious and hostile towards me gradually softened. This made me feel very relieved that my efforts were finally recognized.
However, the matter did not end there. Captain Zhao seemed very dissatisfied with the recognition I had received. He kept brooding over it and always wanted to find an opportunity to teach me a lesson.
That day, he called me to his office and gave me a beating. "Feng Ziang, you are so brave that you investigated the Shen family's security system without permission and reported it to your superiors. Do you still think of me as your captain?"
I was stunned for a moment and explained, "Captain Zhao, I didn't conduct any investigation on my own. I was just performing my duties and found some problems, so..."
"Perform duties? What are your duties? Protect the young master's safety, or investigate the Shen family's security system?" Captain Zhao interrupted me, his tone aggressive, "As a new bodyguard, what qualifications do you have to investigate these? You are overstepping your authority and disrespecting your elders!"
He pulled out a document from the drawer and threw it in front of me. "This is a disciplinary notice, please sign it!"
I looked at the document, and my heart was filled with anger and grievance. I was clearly doing this for the good of the Shen family, but he slandered and suppressed me like this, which made me feel extremely aggrieved. I took a deep breath and was about to speak out to refute...
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open... a cold voice sounded: "Captain Zhao, what are you doing?"
I looked up suddenly and saw Shen Haoxuan standing at the door with a gloomy face. He walked straight to me, picked up the disciplinary notice on the table, took a look at it, and then tore it to pieces.
"Captain Zhao, you seem to have made a mistake," Shen Haoxuan said in a cold tone, "Feng Ziang is my bodyguard. His duty is to protect my safety, and the premise of ensuring safety is to find potential safety hazards. Everything he did was for the good of the Shen family. Why did you give him a disciplinary punishment?"
Captain Zhao's face changed, and he stammered, "Master, that's not what I meant. I just think he's a new guy, and he's too..."
"Too serious and responsible?" Shen Haoxuan took over his words with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Is being serious and responsible also a mistake? Captain Zhao, you have been a bodyguard captain for so many years, don't you even understand this little bit of truth?"
Captain Zhao was speechless, his face turning pale and blue. The other bodyguards in the office were also silent, not daring to speak.
Shen Haoxuan turned to look at me, his tone much softer, "Feng Ziang, you did a great job, don't pay attention to him. I've seen your plan, it's very good, I will arrange for its implementation as soon as possible."
I nodded gratefully, my heart filled with warmth. Shen Haoxuan's appearance was like a ray of sunshine that dispelled the haze in my heart. I originally thought that I would be treated unfairly, but I didn't expect him to protect me so much, which made me feel extremely relieved.
When the other bodyguards saw this, their eyes towards me also changed subtly. Before, most of them were hostile and suspicious of me, but now they have more respect and recognition. I know that this is not only because of Shen Haoxuan's protection, but also because of my own efforts and dedication.
After leaving Captain Zhao's office, I took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed. Although I was wronged by this incident, it also made me more determined. I want to use my own strength to prove that I am worthy of this job and worthy of Shen Haoxuan's trust.
However, Mr. Chen's attitude still made me feel a little uneasy. Although he did not criticize me publicly again, he still tactfully expressed his concerns about my plan in a private conversation. He said that although my plan seemed perfect, it might encounter many unforeseen difficulties in actual operation. He also said that the Shen family's security system had been in operation for many years, and abrupt changes might bring some negative effects.
Mr. Chen's words made me realize that although I have won the recognition of Shen Haoxuan, I still need to make more efforts to truly gain the recognition of everyone. I know that Mr. Chen has good intentions, and he is just worried that my plan will bring unnecessary risks to the Shen family.
How can I completely dispel Mr. Chen's concerns? I thought about this question over and over again, and my heart was full of pressure. I knew that I could not disappoint Shen Haoxuan's expectations, nor could I disappoint Mr. Chen.
I decided to be more careful and meticulous in my next bodyguard work, carefully observe every detail, and find out all possible safety hazards. I want to use practical actions to prove that my plan is feasible, safe, and can truly improve the safety level of the Shen family.
It was late at night. I stood on the balcony of the Shen family villa, looking at the flashing lights in the distance, and silently said to myself in my heart: "Feng Ziang, you can do it..." Suddenly, I heard a light footsteps behind me... The night breeze blew past, bringing a hint of coolness. I wrapped my coat tightly, and my thoughts were still lingering on Mr. Chen's worries.
