Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Doesn't the person who sent this message have a guilty conscience?"

Lin Yi muttered to himself. A certain receptionist at the administrative office got shot for no reason-she didn't want to post it, but her boss, Tang Zhiyuan, was forcing her to ... What could she do?

What Lin Yi didn't know was that Tang Zhiyuan, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, was in a rage the moment he received the news about the make-up test.

"You're good, Lil Tang. I don't seem to be using my words as the Managing Director anymore."

For the first time, the Dean of Students, Wan Xiyan, personally appeared in Tang Zhiyuan's office.

This was the head of the Academic Affairs Office, the absolute leader of the entire Academic Affairs system. Even a second-in-command like the Deputy Director with real power would have to come to his door obediently to be reprimanded with a phone call, not to mention that Tang Zhiyuan was his trusted aide who had been promoted by him. Whether it was for public or private reasons, how could he be qualified to come to his door?

Feeling the anger of his immediate superior that could not be suppressed, Tang Zhiyuan sweated like rain and quickly said,""Director, please calm down. Let me explain."

"You still have an explanation?"

Wan Xiyan was so angry that he laughed."Sure! Tell me. Let me, the division Chief, be educated."

Tang Zhiyuan could not care less about his cold sweat. He said in fear and trepidation,"Chief, you're joking. I actually ordered someone to change Lin Yi's mission rating after you told me yesterday, but I don't know what the hell they're up to, they didn't change it. I just found out about it."

Wan Xiyan crossed his arms and looked at his trusted subordinate as if he was looking at an idiot."You think I'm old and have dementia?"

"This subordinate really didn't lie!"

Tang Zhiyuan wanted to continue to remedy the situation."Director, you know me. I've always followed your lead. I'll never have any objections!" Of course, this time, it was indeed my fault for not being able to supervise and ruining the chief's plan. I deserve to be punished. "

Wan Xiyan didn't say anything and just looked at him coldly.

Five minutes passed, and Tang Zhiyuan's sweat was like rain. His expression was humble, but he didn't change his words. In the end, under the unprecedented pressure, his vision turned black and he fell straight down.

"Alright, stop pretending to be dead and pitiful in front of me. I don't buy it."

Wan Xiyan awakened him with a burst of genuine Qi, but his tone was a little gentler than before. He said in a deep voice,""I'll give you one last chance. Think about it before you talk to me. "

Tang Zhiyuan's excuse could not even fool a layman, let alone him, the Managing Director who had climbed up step by step from the bottom!

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Zhiyuan finally gritted his teeth and confessed,""Yes, I made a decision without permission. Please punish me, chief."

"The reason."

Wan Xiyan's voice was unexpectedly calm. However, the more calm he sounded, the more afraid Tang Zhiyuan was.

He had been promoted by the other party, and he knew all too well what kind of person his immediate superior was.

Although Wan Xiyan had been quiet all these years, he gave people the feeling that he was old and had lost his former enterprising spirit. He had even begun to treat the lower-ranking people with a kind expression, just like an old man waiting to retire.

All of this was just an appearance, a disguise.

When it came to the real core interests, this boss was so ruthless that even Tang Zhiyuan, one of his own, was frightened. This was a really ruthless character who ate people without spitting out their bones. He just retracted his bloody claws in front of unrelated people, that was all.

Tang Zhiyuan swallowed nervously and said carefully,""Director, if you want to continue to climb up the ladder and control the authority of the College, you can't do it without the support of the Li family. From the day you used the Li family's influence to take the position of director, we've actually already been bound to the Li family. There's no way to break it."

"Continue," Wan Xiyan said, still expressionless.

Tang Zhiyuan had no choice but to continue,""Although it's just a small matter this time, if you slap young master Li's face, with his vengeful character, he will definitely hold a grudge in his heart. Perhaps one word from him will ruin the overall situation of your cooperation with the Li family. After all, he is the only heir of the Li family."

What he meant was that even though Wan Xiyan was now the Managing Director, he was nothing without the support of the Li family.

Wan Xiyan laughed,'so I have to obediently be his dog? Hehe, you're pretty clear about your position. "

Having said that, Tang Zhiyuan opened the skylight and said,""I dare to speculate that you are trying to weaken the influence of the Li family and wash away the label that the Li family has placed on you. But even so, you can't be too hasty. If you make too obvious a move, it will only lead to a backlash. You need to think about it carefully."

"What else?"

"I sincerely believe that even though the Li family's current situation is not long-lasting, they still have a lot of uses. We really don't need to rush to cut off their ties. If we really want to, we just need to plant some inconspicuous seeds. When the time comes in the future, we can attack or retreat."

Tang Zhiyuan had already racked his brains for these words, but it had to be said that he had indeed guessed Wan Xiyan's thoughts.

Wan Xiyan nodded slightly."Alright, for what you've said today, I'll spare your life. From now on, you're no longer the office Director. I've already informed the discipline office. From now on, you'll be the guard there."

The admonishment office, also known as the Academy's prison, held felons who had committed unforgivable crimes against the Academy. In name, it was under the jurisdiction of the Jianghai city Lord's office, but in reality, it was an independent internal punishment institution within the Academy. It had substantial power over the life and death of felons in prison, and the city Lord's office had never interfered.

Strictly speaking, the admonishment office was also a Department with real power in the school. It wasn't a place that ordinary people could enter as they wished. However, for the director of the Academic Affairs Office who had a bright future ahead of him, this was equivalent to being thrown into the cold Palace. He would have no future to speak of from now on, which was better than death.

"have mercy, division chief!"

tang zhiyuan did not expect the other party to be so decisive. he quickly knelt down and said in tears,""i've followed you for ten whole years. even if i don't have any credit, i've worked hard. this time, i really shouldn't have made a decision on my own, but i really didn't do it out of selfishness. the starting point of everything i did was for you."

upon hearing this, wan xiyan's face was indifferent."for me? or for the sake of the li family? don't you know in your heart?"

tang zhiyuan could not help but choke. after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said,"but if you punish me now, it'll be equivalent to slapping the li family's face. is it really necessary?"

"You're threatening me with the Li family?"

Wan Xiyan sneered, and the way he looked at this guy became more and more ridiculous."The Li family has indeed infiltrated a lot over the years, and many people on the School Board of Directors have been cheering for them, but don't forget that there's only one true power in the school. Hehe, it's nothing!"
