"Brother Ma, wait a moment, we’re not familiar with the work here." Zhao Xiangyang said."What’s there to be familiar with as a security guard? Just sit here, and if anything happens, contact property management. Can’t handle such a simple task?"
Ma Weiguo staggered away, clearly tipsy.
This left the two of them staring at each other, bewildered.
"I feel like we were hired just so he could slack off."
Zhao Xiangyang nodded, "I feel the same way."
The two of them went to the security room at the south gate of the community.
It wasn’t large, about seven or eight square meters.
With a simple desk, computer, and two chairs inside, it felt a bit cramped.
The two sat on the chairs, watching the surveillance monitors and chatting.
Under normal circumstances, being in the security room just meant monitoring the screens.
If anyone else had an issue, they would come to them, so there was no need to do anything more.
With nothing else to do, the two of them amused themselves with gaming.
In that moment, two men leisurely approached the security room, both also in security uniforms.
Seeing these two, Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang both put down their phones.
"You two are the new guys, right?"
The speaker was tall and hefty, weighing at least over two hundred pounds, standing there casting a shadow like a small mountain.
The man’s name was Peng Jianggang and he had been working here for over a year.
Whenever there was heavy lifting to be done, he was the top candidate.
The other was his partner, named Feng Zhiqiang.
"What’s up?" Lin Yi asked.
"The newcomers should be out patrolling, not sitting around here."
"You’ll have to talk to Brother Ma about that, he told us to stay here," Lin Yi said.
"Brother Ma is Brother Ma, and you are you. Newcomers should first patrol and get familiar with the work."
Peng Jianggang walked over and kicked Zhao Xiangyang’s chair.
"Get out there and patrol."
Zhao Xiangyang didn’t say anything further and stood up, but Lin Yi remained seated.
Zhao Xiangyang turned back and saw that Lin Yi didn’t look too pleased.
He quickly went over and gave him a tug.
"Come on, let’s go patrol. It’ll be boring alone; at least we’ll have some company."
Lin Yi was reluctant to move, but with Zhao Xiangyang persistently pulling at his clothes, he eventually went along.
Peng Jianggang showed a smirk, and the two of them muttered behind their backs:
"These newbies have no sense of protocol, clearly a couple of cowards."
"They look pretty young, probably don’t understand the ways of the world," Feng Zhiqiang added.
"It’s fine if they don’t understand; I’ll teach them later."
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Zhao Xiangyang had already left the security room.
"You should curb your temper. We’re new here, there’s no need to stir up conflict."
"You’re naive if you think that backing down will earn their respect. Step back once, and they’ll walk all over you."
"The thing is, we still rely on this job to support our families."
"Don’t put it like that, I don’t really need it," Lin Yi nonchalantly replied:
"Just remember, if you’re too nice, you get pushed over. It’s okay to be kind, but not too kind, you get what I mean?"
"Lin Bro, you think I don’t know that? But it’s our first day, if we clash with senior staff, we’ll be packing up and leaving soon."
Lin Yi didn’t respond further.
The situations are indeed different and can’t be discussed the same way.
They wandered around the community, checked thirty-something buildings, and an hour passed easily.
They didn’t find anything requiring attention and started heading back to the security room.
Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Lin Yi’s mind.
[System Task: Handle a regulatory violation, reward: 100,000 master level driving skills points.]
Hearing the system notification, Lin Yi pondered for a moment.
According to the community’s regulations, many of the residents’ actions were unreasonable.
So, this task wouldn’t be difficult in theory.
But the real challenge was finding a proper way to solve the problem.
For example, many residents liked storing things in the hallways, obviously violating community rules.
In theory, this could affect evacuation during a fire, but the actual risk was low, and it’s often overlooked.
If he intervened, it would surely lead to arguments.
Thinking from a resident’s perspective, if a security guard suddenly demanded such things, it would be upsetting.
He needed to find an unreasonable issue, propose corrective action, and have residents comply willingly.
He had to stand on moral high ground.
Slowly, they returned to the security room, where Peng Jianggang and his partner were busy gaming.
Before Lin Yi could speak, Peng Jianggang glanced at him.
"Get me two bottles of iced tea."
"And grab a pack of cigarettes, Su Yan is fine," Feng Zhiqiang added.
It clearly carried a hint of bullying arrogance.
While they talked, they only briefly glanced at Lin Yi, spending most of the time on their phones, as if issuing a command.
"Who do you think you’re talking to?"
Peng Jianggang’s expression changed slightly, "Talking to you, can’t understand human speech?"
Lin Yi stepped forward. Seeing things were escalating, Zhao Xiangyang tried to hold him back, only to be brushed aside.
Entering the room, Lin Yi locked the door behind him.
Both of them were stunned, not anticipating Lin Yi’s sudden move.
Peng Jianggang put down his phone, looking at Lin Yi provocatively.
"What? You have an issue with getting some drinks and cigarettes?"
"You two are overdoing the act, really think you’re something special?"
Seeing Lin Yi’s unfriendly demeanor, Peng Jianggang set his phone down and stood up immediately.
Lin Yi drew a knife from his waist and pressed it against Peng Jianggang’s stomach.
"Move, and I’ll stab you."
Both Peng Jianggang and Feng Zhiqiang were stunned and started to tremble a bit.
They had expected Lin Yi might get physical, but never anticipated he would brandish a knife.
Who on earth carries a knife around?
"What are you doing! You know this is illegal, right?" Peng Jianggang reprimanded.
"I know, but like I said, move and you’re dead."
"Brother Gang, what should we do now..." Feng Zhiqiang stammered.
In all his life, it was his first encounter with someone like Lin Yi.
Absolutely unreasonable.
"We... we’ve finished our game, you guys can take over."
Peng Jianggang sidestepped cautiously, moving out of the knife’s range.
Once safe, Peng Jianggang hurriedly opened the door and dashed out of the security room, as if fleeing for his life.
Seeing them leave, Zhao Xiangyang was dumbfounded for a while.
"Wow, Lin Bro, you subdued them?"
"Just a little intimidation, should keep them quiet for a while."
