"In the domestic market, Red Dragon Security is doing quite well. Why choose us?" After having Fia fill out an application on the hotel computer and sending it to Hive Asia Division, Yang Xiaoyou casually remarked while playing with a jade Buddha statue in his hand.
"Who does business like that? No wonder you were left here. If everyone thought like you, your company would go bankrupt." After submitting the form, Fia stretched lazily, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the unambitious Foodie.
Her father was a traditional British nobleman. Although Fia had broken away from that mold and often acted mischievously, she understood that without wanting to sever ties with her family, it was indeed difficult for her to control her marriage. Especially since her father would not allow those hard-to-manage 'elites' to approach her, particularly when she was capable.
Because of this, when she first met Yang Xiaoyou, she wanted Weimar to help with some kind of procedure.
Although Fia had already prepared herself mentally for marriage issues, no matter how outstanding she was or how open-minded her perspective, she was still a girl and didn't want this to hinder her ideals.
She had already made her decision, but seeing the lazy and unambitious Foodie still made her grit her teeth in frustration.
On the other side, hearing such remarks, Yang Xiaoyou felt somewhat speechless. Since Hive Security Company followed a strict 'better to have none than too many' elite approach, the current demand for security work already exceeded supply. If it weren't for Fia's identity, they probably wouldn't have taken this job.
Even the Boss had to work; it truly felt like a bit of a burden.
Of course, such comments were not suitable for that princess. At this moment, he could only hold his nose and accept her evaluation of him.
As for the clingy Idol Sister who stuck to him like a shadow, after Fia finished using the computer, Yang Xiaoyou set her up with a galgae game to keep her occupied.
In fact, aside from her daily dazed demeanor leading to some unexpected incidents, this First Generation Body Sister was quite easy to take care of and required low maintenance costs.
She didn't ask for designer clothes, luxury bags, cosmetics, or jewelry. Just feed her some cheap junk food three times a day and give her a game or play some anime, and that would suffice; it only required a bit of effort to look after her.
Well, of course, that effort could be quite troublesome for Yang Xiaoyou.
Now that the mission to find Revy had been assigned, he had taken a photo from Duh before leaving and sent it to the Eighth Master, who specialized in coordinating dirty work.
After the last big shot in the entertainment industry, the Eighth Master took over some of the gains and has been steadily growing his influence. He has taken on quite a few jobs finding people. On the phone, he confidently promised that all they needed to do now was wait for time to pass.
Well, it was clear that he was calling behind that princess's back. After all, he had met the Eighth Master in his original appearance, although it wasn't a major issue. Still, it was better not to let the princess know if it could be avoided.
As for that guy, he had already contacted him remotely and told him to focus on recovering. They had come together with a police officer named Lin Min and another hacker with decent skills, so there was no worry about him being unattended.
Just as everything was in place, the doorbell of their hotel room rang.
"That was quick. Did they just send the email?" Yang Xiaoyou moved his ears slightly and heard several steady breaths outside. He was somewhat surprised, thinking that Hive Asia Division had already sent someone over.
After all, the division's office was located in Shanghai, so that was his first thought.
When he opened the door, he saw a group of four men and one woman outside. They were all dressed in formal attire, standing straight with calm breaths that indicated they were skilled fighters.
However, all five of them were clearly of Chinese descent, which surprised Yang Xiaoyou.
Hive Security Company was ultimately an external entity operating here. Even though they focused on hiring people of Chinese descent, other ethnicities made up more than half of the personnel in the Asian office.
"Is this where Fia Haek Media is staying?" The leading middle-aged man wore a somewhat stiff smile on his face but spoke sincerely.
"This is indeed the place. You must be the security personnel sent here. I apologize for keeping you waiting. I am Yang Xiaoyou, a newly appointed official member of the company. I believe there should be information about me internally," Yang Xiaoyou said with a smile as he extended his hand.
The middle-aged man in front of him hadn’t quite reached the peak level yet but was close enough to touch it; he was undoubtedly a remarkable expert. Yang Xiaoyou couldn’t recall when the Asian Branch had recruited such a capable individual.
Even considering age differences, both potential and strength were still lacking compared to core members, but he could still be regarded as a competent official member.
"Uh, it's an honor to meet you... Yang Xiaoyou," Song Enfu, who had been preparing some polite words, paused upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's name. Instinctively extending his hand for a handshake, he spoke courteously while his mind raced—when did Red Dragon add someone with this name? Was this a new recruit who hadn't had time to inform him?
Moreover, it was clear that the higher-ups had already dispatched advance liaison personnel, meaning he should be among the first to make contact.
Feeling the calluses on the other person's hand, Yang Xiaoyou could roughly determine that this individual had considerable skills with both firearms and martial arts, though his reaction seemed somewhat peculiar.
While he couldn't recognize all the formal members, he believed that for the sake of potentially utilizing the branch's resources in the future, most of them should have heard his name, even if they hadn't met him before.
"I am Song Enfu, Vice Captain of Security Division Three, Second Battalion, Fourth Squad. These are my capable subordinates who can take on ten by themselves," Song Enfu introduced himself after realizing Yang Xiaoyou had no recollection of him.
Yang Xiaoyou, who had been assessing the strength of these individuals and felt somewhat unexpectedly satisfied, was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this introduction.
The internal structure of Hive Security Company shouldn't be organized this way; where could they possibly find so many people? The most likely explanation for such a structure was...
"Are you from the Red Dragon?" After recognizing the issue, Yang Xiaoyou didn't hide anything and asked directly.
Upon hearing this unexpected question after introducing himself, a glint of sharpness flashed in Song Enfu's eyes. Clearly, if Yang Xiaoyou was asking such a question, it meant they were not on the same side and there must have been some misunderstanding.
From what Yang Xiaoyou had said at the beginning, it was likely that their objectives were aligned; both sides were probably competitors in the same field.
Tragedy—just like that, the weekend passed in a blink.
