Internet Celebrity

Upon arriving at the company, Ye Xingchen found himself the subject of countless gossiping whispers and curious stares.

"Look, it's him, the most flamboyant bodyguard in history!"

"Who would've thought he works here!"

"That video last night had me laughing for hours, it was a real mood lifter!"

"I know, right? That dance was something else, like a small electric motor!"

"Seriously, almost thought he was going to strip!"

"It's unbelievable! Such a sunny and handsome bodyguard turned out to be so sassy! Our bodyguard team is full of surprises!"

"I could use a good laugh, let's watch it again!"

Ye Xingchen felt utterly embarrassed and wished he could disappear into thin air. He sheepishly covered his face and tried to blend into the crowd, hastily making his way to the security department.

But as fate would have it, there was no escaping the teasing from his colleagues in the security department.

"I never knew our little Ye had such a sassy side!"

"Looks like we've got an internet celebrity among us now!"

"We should let him perform at our next event! Shake that booty and we'll have the whole crowd cheering!"

"Haha, I can't wait to see it again!"

The protagonist Ye Xingchen: "..."

Ye Xingchen: "..."

At that moment, the security department manager entered, his expression grave. "Enough with the laughter during work hours. Get back to your duties, everyone. And Xiao Ye, come with me."

Ye Xingchen quickly responded, "Manager, last night, I didn't mean to..."

The manager interrupted, waving his hand. "Don't worry. Mr. Lin has already explained everything. You were just doing your job. You did well. Just be more cautious in the future and avoid excessive drinking."

Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. It was a relief to know he wasn't being reprimanded. Losing his job over this incident would have been a huge setback, especially considering his opportunity to work closely with Lin Beifan.

"If you don't have any tasks, stick with Mr. Lin! Assist him and there will be rewards for you! Off you go!" The security department manager gestured.

"Yes, manager!" Ye Xingchen acknowledged and began to leave.

But the manager called out again, "Hold on, one more thing!"

Ye Xingchen turned back, "Yes, manager?"

Suddenly, the manager's demeanor shifted, adopting a flirtatious tone as he playfully winked, "You've got quite the flair, I must say. I like it!"

Ye Xingchen's reaction was one of incredulity.

"You've got some style, I'll give you that!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Xingchen was left speechless.

Ye Xingchen hurriedly made his way to Lin Beifan's office, seeking refuge from the teasing and laughter of his colleagues.

Upon entering, Lin Beifan glanced at him, recalling the events of the previous night, and a chuckle escaped his lips involuntarily.

"Sorry about that, I usually don't laugh unless it's really necessary! Haha!" Lin Beifan managed to say amidst his laughter.

Ye Xingchen stood there, feeling a bit embarrassed by the situation.

"I'll compose myself in a moment and then we can talk! Haha!" Lin Beifan continued, struggling to contain his amusement.

Ye Xingchen felt the need to clarify, "Mr. Lin, please believe me, this isn't my usual behavior! I suspect someone spiked my drink, causing me to act in such a bizarre manner!"

"Don't worry, after drinking that much alcohol, anyone would lose control, no need to blame it on medicine," Lin Beifan reassured Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen nodded wearily, feeling the weight of embarrassment.

"I never imagined you'd become so playful after a few drinks. It was quite a sight to see, truly unbelievable!" Lin Beifan added with a grin.

Ye Xingchen's expression showed his exhaustion. "President Lin, it's really not like me..."

Lin Beifan stifled his laughter. " I believe you're innocent! But speaking of which, the owner of the bar, my buddy, wanted me to ask you if you'd be interested in dropping by? Free drinks, plus a commission!"

Ye Xingchen's eyes widened in horror as he vehemently shook his head. "No, absolutely not!"

The mere thought of revisiting the scene of his embarrassment sent shivers down his spine. Going there again would be like willingly walking into a pit of humiliation.

"Alright, no pressure. You can head out now. We've got business to attend to at Lin Investment Company. Here's the car key, get ready downstairs," Lin Beifan said, tossing the key to Ye Xingchen.

"Yes, President Lin!" Ye Xingchen replied, quickly exiting the office.

As Liu Rumei approached him, Ye Xingchen prepared himself to engage in conversation and establish some rapport.

However, to his dismay, she shot him a disdainful glare and uttered, "Don't come near me, pervert!"

Ye Xingchen's heart sank once more.

He let out a sigh, his resolve solidifying within him.

"Forget it," he thought, "as long as I can defeat the big demon Lin Beifan, what's the significance of enduring these grievances? Compared to the injustices I faced before my rebirth, these minor setbacks are hardly worth mentioning!"
