Chapter 13 This is Strategy

Tang Su looked at her with some surprise. "I didn't expect you to think so much."

"This is called strategic thinking. Just think, if I were the one causing trouble today, what would you do? Wouldn't you just call someone to kick me out?" Tang Su thought about it and nodded. "Exactly, aren't you also weighing which of the two is more important?"

In fact, Tang Su had no idea that every time Ye Tian carried out a mission, he would memorize seven alternative routes by heart, and all maps must be destroyed to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. The various red and green arrows on the map, the complex routes and strongholds, all had to be imprinted in his mind. One slip-up could land him deep in enemy territory, spelling immediate doom. A brain that has traded with life is naturally going to think much more than the average person.

"Then can you really swallow that indignity? If I were you, I would definitely..."

"You would definitely have to swallow it too," Ye Tian stared straight at her. "Let me put it this way, I'm like the lamb skewer at this barbecue stall, and you're like the lobster in a five-star hotel. You will never understand the hardships of a lamb skewer, but if someday you end up in the same position as one, you'll know that life isn't full of fresh excitement; it's just the soot and miasma from burning charcoal. Do you understand? ...Ugh, why am I even telling you this?"

Tang Su, looking at the indifferent Ye Tian, suddenly didn't understand which was the real Ye Tian. In the private room, she saw a bold and domineering hero whom no one dared to obstruct, but now, this hero compared himself to a lamb skewer. This hero also drooled over beauties, sneaking glances at her chest just like any other lecher, with a vulgar look no different from other men. Which one was the real Ye Tian?

"What are you looking at? Do I have a lamb skewer on my face?" Ye Tian suddenly looked up, startling Tang Su, "Manager Tang, it's getting late, I'll head back first. Ah, you have to pay for the meal, bye. Oh, and also, stop having people tail me."

Tang Su's eyes widened, but she quickly reacted, "Who's following you? You shouldn't..."

"Come on, Manager Tang, I can recognize the sound of a common Toyota's engine in a heartbeat." Ye Tian waved his hand as if to say goodbye.

Watching that figure walk away, Tang Su suddenly remembered that Ye Tian who had taken her on a wild ride.

After the incident with Lin Cheng, Tang Su's attitude toward Ye Tian improved a lot, but it was only psychologically. At least the sleazy image she had of him at their first meeting had improved a lot, but this state of affairs did not last long. According to the security team captain Li Gang's report, in recent bar incidents, Ye Tian was the least proactive, always shouting slogans loudly but always standing at the back of the group when it came to action. Yet, he never missed out on the bonus afterwards.

After hearing about this, Tang Su just smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you've been the captain of the security team for quite a while now, haven't you? How about a change of position? Liu from the HR department has just resigned; why don't you take over? That's a cushy job that many are eyeing."

"Thank you, Manager Tang. Then, regarding the replacement for the security team captain..."

"I have someone in mind. Oh, right, tell Ye Tian to wait for me at the door, I need to speak with him."

Tang Su wore a black professional short skirt suit today, her arms white as lotus roots, her beautiful legs as if carved from jade, and her firm breasts, all indicating not just a beautiful woman, but a confident and successful one.

Ye Tian watched as Tang Su sashayed over, his heart scratching like a cat's claws, wondering when he would be able to bed this dame.

"What are you thinking about? Your hand's already healed? That was fast, it's only been a few days!" Tang Su was surprised to see Ye Tian's right hand looking as good as new, from the last hospital visit to now was at most half a month, how could it heal so quickly, and even without a scar.

Ye Tian waved his hand, squinting mysteriously, "It's a secret. Kiss me and I'll tell... Ouch, my foot!" Six-centimeter high heels are like a nightmare. Ye Tian limped over to the Toyota, opened the door, and sat down. Tang Su had an unhappy look on her face and started the car without giving Ye Tian a glance. Knowing he was being dull, Ye Tian leaned an arm on the window and watched the scenery outside.

Skyscrapers, still skyscrapers, Ye Tian grew bored of looking at the towering office buildings on both sides of the street. Turning his head, he met Tang Su's minus thirty-eight-degree face and suddenly felt that the skyscrapers were more interesting.

Seeing Ye Tian's nonchalant attitude, Tang Su felt very annoyed. Who would dare to treat her with such a demeanor? Usually, when she asked someone out, they would be trembling with fear. It's Tang Su's style to bring someone along for outside tasks—it makes the conversation more casual, and it can also put some pressure on the person since bosses don't always bring good news when they seek you out.

"I heard you've been doing quite well at work lately." Tang Su felt that if she didn't start the conversation, Ye Tian would never speak first.

"It's alright, being on the front line means work should be a bit hard, but the bonuses are a bit low. Manager Tang, I think our security guards' monthly salary of two thousand is really too little. Consider this—we not only work day shifts but also overtime at night. Those hostesses at least get some joy out of their bodies and minds, but for us..."

"So, you mean you want a raise?" asked Tang Su, eyebrows raised.

"Where... That's not what I said!" Ye Tian's face changed faster than a mad dog could match, and Tang Su thought to herself what a shameless face he had.

"Fine, first accompany me to finish my errand." As she spoke, the car came to a stop. China Industrial and Commercial Bank. Ye Tian looked at Tang Su, then at the purse in her arms, thinking to himself, this woman really has guts, not afraid of being robbed by motorbike thieves. Thinking this, he followed Tang Su into the bank.

The branch of the bank Tang Su visited in Huaizhou wasn't very big, in fact, it wasn't even as large as a luxury suite in Waterfront. There were only about a dozen people, with two out of three counters temporarily closed. The efficiency of Huaxia's service was so low it could shame a snail.

"What are you looking at, never seen a bank before?" Tang Su saw Ye Tian looking around curiously as soon as he walked in, observing in detail as if he was a bumpkin coming to the city for the first time, and his blue security guard uniform definitely made him look the part.

Ye Tian smiled and asked Tang Su, "Shall we... come back another day?"

"What's wrong? All twitchy, the next two days are weekend, the bank is not open, wait there for me, I'll look for you once I'm done." Not paying any more attention to Ye Tian, Tang Su hurried off to line up.

Ye Tian looked around again and sighed softly, "Sure is lively today."
