On the security department's side, Chen Pingan saw that no one was lining up. He scanned the entire scene.

"Does anyone know where your class captains have gone? Tell me, and I'll immediately promote one of them to Deputy Director of Security!"

As soon as Chen Ping'an said this, many security guards showed surprise, disbelief, or eagerness to try.

That's the deputy manager! His salary is three times theirs now!

Everyone looked at each other.

Soon, a security guard who looked rather shifty stepped forward.

"Manager, I know where they went!"

"Before you came, our captain was called by the previous manager to have coffee at the cafe across the street!"

That scoundrel of a security guard pointed at the coffee shop across the street from the window, grinning wickedly and saying to Chen Ping'an.

Although the several security captains had instructed them earlier, when they left, to tell the new manager that they didn't know where they went if he asked.

If anyone dares to betray them, they will severely punish him later.

Things are different now. If he becomes deputy manager, his position will be higher than those team leaders. Those team leaders won't even be able to discipline him anymore; they'll have to bow down to him when they pass by.

He decided to take a gamble!

And everyone else saw that the foolish security guard actually stood up to answer Chen Ping'an's question, and everyone looked at him with eyes full of ridicule and pity.

Those few captains aren't easy to mess with, each one is very capable in a fight. If this new manager breaks his word and doesn't promote him to deputy manager, he better be prepared for the captains' revenge!

What is your name?

Chen Ping'an nodded, then asked the sly-looking security guard.

"My name is Zhang Xiaobo, Manager. You can just call me Xiaobo from now on!"

"You just said in front of everyone that whoever answers the manager's question will be promoted to deputy manager. Do you keep your word?"

The security guard quickly reported his name and asked Chen Ping'an if he was serious about what he said.

"I, Chen Ping'an, speak and do as I say. From today onwards, Zhang Xiaobo will be the deputy director of the security department of the Sihai Group. I haven't gotten a good grasp of the current situation of the security department yet. In the future, all aspects of work for the Sihai Group Security Department will be under your responsibility!"

"I'll have the HR department send out the appointment letter right away!"

Chen Ping directly promoted Zhang Xiaobo to deputy manager in front of everyone, and delegated most of the Security Department's power to him.

He just wants to be a hands-off manager.

As soon as Chen Ping'an said this, the security guards who had originally been full of hostility towards Chen Ping'an and pity for Zhang Xiaoboa all widened their eyes.

They never expected that the new manager would be so generous, promoting the incompetent Zhang Xiaobo to deputy manager.

Still, Zhang Xiaobo is fully responsible for the daily management of the security department.

At this moment, many people are filled with regret.

If they had known earlier, they would have answered first. Otherwise, the position of manager would have been theirs.

That was the second-highest position, after the manager.

This is not just a promotion, the salary of an assistant manager is three times higher than that of these ordinary security guards.

Zhang Xiaobo answered one question, and it was a leap forward.

"You don't have to envy Zhang Xiaobo, I have other questions below. As long as you answer me well, I will also promote or give you a raise!"

Chen Ping'an saw the envious looks on everyone's faces when they looked at Zhang Xiaobo, he was very satisfied, and then continued to say to everyone.

"Manager, ask anything you want. We'll tell you everything we know!"

Because of Zhang Xiaobo's precedent, as soon as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, someone else stood up and said to Chen Ping'an.

When it comes to matters of interest, they will definitely try their best to fight for it.

Although we missed the opportunity, even if we actively respond now, it's impossible to be promoted to Deputy Manager like Zhang Xiaobo. However, a salary raise wouldn't be bad either.

They go to work to earn a living and support their families. Who would refuse a raise?
