The security guards looked at each other with disdain in their eyes. They were not happy with Peter's attitude towards them which added to their already agitated mood.
'Do you really think you're our superior by calling all of us to attend the meeting? What a tone!' The security guards wondered among themselves.
Although they showed contempt, they had to take out their phones and inform those who were absent from there. It was their duty now to inform others on the director's order.
"Who are you? This is the director's office, you shouldn't be here. Get out right away!"
As soon as Peter entered the director's office, someone shouted in a sharp voice which echoed all over the place, causing Peter to halt in his way.
The shrill voice made Peter furrowed his brow in annoyance while his hand was still on the door knob; even the security guards outside were slightly astonished.
But after that, they began their gloating. Those guards were a group of stubborn people.
As Bob's secretary, Carly Mei was a hard nut to crack, not many people were able to cope up with her. It was not easy for a person to please her. She not only had a sharp and vicious tongue; besides, it was said that she was Jaden's relative, which made her a more devious person. No one in the office wanted to be at the wrong side of her.
There was going to be a good show between Peter and Carly Mei, and the security guards were excited for it. They wanted to see if this new director could cope with her.
"Hello, you must be Carly Mei, secretary of the director, right? I'm the new director of Security Department, Peter Wang."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Peter didn't get mad, but introduced himself to her politely. He knew he had to handle this situation very cautiously.
He had done some relevant background research before he came here, so he knew that she was a difficult person to deal with. So, he kept his calm.
She was wearing a black plaid dress, the hemline of which took the shape of plum-flower petals. The dress was only knee-length, and her calves with silk stockings were exposed.
She was not very beautiful, but she had a plump figure. Although she couldn't compete with Elaine and others, her charm couldn't be totally ignored.
At this time, with one hand resting on the desk, Carly Mei was pointing at Peter with the other hand and swearing at him petulantly. Her expressions were very rude and she was acting as if she owned the world.
"No matter who you are, just get out! This office only belongs to Mr. Zhen, not to anyone else! I don't care if you're the new security director or not; in a word, you're not allowed to enter the office. Get out now!"
Carly Mei looked very enraged and domineering. She was ready to exert her power on whoever presented in front of her. She showed the manner of a vixen, as if she was about to fight Peter if he did not follow her order.
Looking at Carly Mei who was cursing in public like a vixen, the security guards outside were secretly delighted as if their deepest desire was getting fulfilled.
Although Carly Mei did not say that she didn't recognize Peter as the director of Security Department, she did not allow him to enter the director's office. Wasn't that a slap on Peter's face?
As the director, Peter couldn't even enter his own office. In this case, what was the value of his position?
It was conceivable that Peter was thoroughly humiliated when he was cast out of the office. Before he officially took office, his dignity had been badly hurt. This was the worst reaction a person could get on his promotion.
"Is that so?" Peter nodded in grave seriousness and then retreated out of the office.
Seeing Peter withdrawing, Carly Mei was stunned at first. She was not able to believe her eyes, but soon her eyes twinkled with disdain. She had done such a great job in insulting him.
'Damn it! After driving away Mr. Zhen, you just wanted to occupy his position. Even if others agreed, I would not. My dear, it was lucky that you ran fast and retreated, or I would have humiliated you to death.'
Those security guards outside looked at each other in silence. Perhaps they couldn't believe that Peter walked out so easily without even facing Carly Mei's challenge. They kinda felt disappointed as they were waiting for a show, but things didn't turn out according to their expectations.
'Look, he was such a coward. How could he be the director of Security Department? He does not deserve this post.'
No sooner had they thought of that suddenly their mouths were opened in shock, as if they had seen something incredibly weird.
To their surprise, Peter had closed the door from the outside and locked it. Then he took few steps backwards to kick it with a force.
Bam!
On hearing the loud noise like that of an earthquake, all the security guards couldn't help but tremble with fear. They were shocked as well as afraid on seeing Peter's action. They knew he was an aggressive person but his acting in this way was beyond their belief.
Suddenly, due to the sheer force it was kicked with, the door broke with a loud noise and then separated from the door frame, finally falling on the ground with small pieces scattered all over the place.
After that, Peter grabbed the door from the ground and threw it at the left window swiftly.
With a crash, the glass cracked, and the whole window was smashed; the remaining part of the pane was riddled with holes. It appeared as if it was a scene from a movie.
With a shiver of fear, immediately Carly Mei collapsed to the ground. Then, being shaken to the core by Peter's action, she pointed to Peter and cried out,"What are you doing? What do you want? Listen carefully, if you dare to touch me, I'll accuse you so that you'll get arrested and spend the rest of your life in prison!"
"How could I touch you? Miss Mei, you're thinking too much. Just relax." While saying these words, Peter went over to pick up the door as if it was just made of cotton; then he kept smashing the office furniture with it, while he added,"You said that it wasn't a good place for the director's office, and I also think you are right. This is really not a suitable office for me. So I'm going to turn it into a warehouse, as a warehouse this must have some garbage in it.
And as you know, the previous director was arrested by the police due to his defective actions. There is a custom in my hometown: the things used by such kind of person are ominous – in layman's terms, they'll probably bring bad luck to those who use them.
I just took office as the new director, so I don't want to be effected with bad luck, and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. If these things are all damaged, I'll have a good reason to change them for new ones. What a pleasure to do so!"
