C3 Of Course My Family Needs Me to Look after It!

"Shen Hao, I'm back!"

Liu's excited voice echoed outside the security room.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside, just in time to see Shen Hao emerging from the locker room, freshly changed out of his security uniform.

"Shen Hao!"

"The drive in that sports car was incredible!"

Liu handed the keys back to Shen Hao and gave him an approving thumbs up.

The other security guards, green with envy, bombarded Liu with questions.

"Liu, how was it? We've never had the chance to drive such a fancy sports car!"

Liu, eager to share, grabbed a chair and sat down, launching into his tale with gusto.

"The seats are so comfortable."

"It's got a powerful engine—super smooth ride!"

"And the design of the doors? Absolutely fantastic!"

Liu's enthusiasm was infectious, and the other guards listened with rapt attention.

Shen Hao, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

To him, the car was just slightly more comfortable than the average vehicle.

The security room buzzed with their animated conversation.

Meanwhile, outside, Zhu Dachang, the supervisor of the Binhai Building's security department, was approaching with a stormy look on his face.

As he reached the door of the security room, the muffled chatter from within reached his ears, souring his mood further.

Zhu Dachang kicked the door open and wildly gestured with his finger.

"What on earth are you all doing?"

"This is a security room, not a marketplace!"

"You're all hiding in here gossiping during work hours."

"If you're not interested in working, then get out!"

Zhu Dachang's voice boomed as he scolded them.

The security guards fell silent at the sight of Zhu Dachang, standing up with looks of fear.

"Manager, hello!"

"Manager, what brings you here?"

"Director, please, have a seat!"

Zhu Dachang crossed his arms behind his back and huffed.

"Each of you will have 500 dollars docked from this month's pay!"

"Shen Hao, were you late?"

Zhu Dachang declared, "You'll be docked an additional 300 this month!"

At his words, a look of distress washed over the guards' faces.

To them, 500 dollars was a significant sum.

In the corner, Shen Hao's face remained impassive, yet cool.

Zhu Dachang had a habit of arbitrarily docking the security guards' pay.

In the past, Shen Hao might have bitten his tongue and endured it.

But now, Shen Hao was not intimidated by him!

"Random Mission: Confronting managerial harassment."

"When faced with deliberate difficulties from a superior, the Host must choose a response."

"Option 1: Remain unaffected. Reward: 50 million coins and the air of a magnate!"

"Option 2: Stand up and fight back. Reward: Ownership of the Binhai Building!"

Shen Hao's eyes sparkled with excitement as he made his choice without a second thought.

"Manager Zhu, you wield your authority so heavily!"

Shen Hao's voice, laced with sarcasm, echoed in the security room.

"Since when can a security department director dock an employee's pay on a whim?"

The moment Shen Hao's words hung in the air, the security room fell deathly silent.

Zhu Dachang's face shifted from red to green, his fingers trembling with rage.

"Who's speaking? Show yourself!"

Shen Hao stepped forward, his demeanor calm, and asked, "Am I wrong?"

He looked at the incensed Zhu Dachang and continued evenly, "If an employee makes a mistake at work, you're supposed to report it according to protocol, then submit it to the department manager for review."

"Salary and bonus deductions are only made after the review is approved!"

Shen Hao scoffed, eyeing the ashen-faced Zhu Dachang, "Yet you've managed to sidestep both the department manager and the finance department to directly penalize an employee's wages!"

"I must say, I'm impressed!"

Zhu Dachang detected the irony in Shen Hao's tone.

No one had ever dared to challenge him so openly. It infuriated him.

With his face beet red, Zhu Dachang bellowed, "You openly defy your superior, this is utter anarchy!"

Pointing a finger, Zhu Dachang declared venomously, "I'm going to report you to the general manager and have you fired!"

Unperturbed by Zhu Dachang's threat, Shen Hao nonchalantly shrugged and said with a grin, "Go ahead and try to fire me!"

The idea was laughable!

Once Shen Hao took ownership of the Binhai Building, he would be the one doing the firing!

"You!"

Zhu Dachang pointed at Shen Hao, a look of astonishment crossing his face.

He hadn't anticipated Shen Hao would simply disregard his threat.

"Fine!"

"I'm going to call my brother-in-law this instant and have you fired!"

Zhu Dachang whipped out his phone, ready to dial the Binhai Building property management's general manager.

"Manager, hold on!"

From the crowd, security guard Liu, with urgency in his eyes, spoke up, "We had a good reason for our discussion in the guardroom!"

Zhu Dachang shot Liu a cold look. "A reason?"

"Alright! If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, you're out of a job too!"

Liu, visibly sweating, hurriedly explained, "Shen Hao came to work in a sports car. It took us all by surprise, and that's why we were talking about it."

"A sports car?"

Zhu Dachang didn't let Liu finish before he burst into laughter.

He pointed at Shen Hao and said with scorn, "Him? In a sports car?"

"I doubt he can even afford a scooter!"

"It's true! It was a Ferrari, we all saw it with our own eyes!"

Liu defended, "I was the one who parked Shen Hao's car in the garage!"

Zhu Dachang was taken aback, then turned to Shen Hao with a mocking smile, "A LaFerrari?"

Shen Hao, unfazed, casually remarked, "Just a means of transportation, hardly worth mentioning."

Zhu Dachang's smirk took on a peculiar edge. "Hardly worth mentioning?"

"You're telling me a sports car worth over 20 million isn't valuable?"

"That's quite the tall tale!"

Shen Hao flicked his finger nonchalantly and addressed Zhu Dachang, "As the owner of the Binhai Building, a 20 million-plus sports car really isn't much to me."

The Binhai Building is a premier office tower in the Binhai District, spanning 2,500 square meters.

With 33 stories, and at the current market rate of 50,000 per square meter, Binhai Building's total estimated value exceeds 4 billion!

If fully leased out, the monthly rent would be 150 yuan per square meter.

Just from the rent alone, Shen Hao rakes in tens of millions every month!

To him, a 20 million yuan sports car is merely the equivalent of two months' rent.

As Shen Hao's words hung in the air, Zhu Dachang, sitting across from him, was visibly stunned, his mouth agape in shock.

It took Zhu Dachang quite some time to regain his composure.

"Shen Hao, have you gone completely mad?" Zhu Dachang exclaimed incredulously. "You, the sole owner of the Binhai Building? That's utterly preposterous!"

Shen Hao remained composed, responding in a gentle tone, "You're free to doubt it, but it's indeed a fact."

"Fine!" Zhu Dachang nodded, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "If the Binhai Building is truly yours, why would you be working here as a mere security guard?"

Unruffled by Zhu Dachang's challenge, Shen Hao simply smiled. "Because it's my home. Naturally, I want to be the one to take care of it."
