Li Yan had no understanding of the security department's situation at all, only knowing it was behind the reception hall on the first floor. When going down, Xu Ping briefly introduced him to it. Although the entire building of the headquarters and so many departments needed to be managed, there really weren't that many security personnel because modern technology was used. As long as you watched the surveillance footage, one person could oversee multiple areas; only places like the guard booth and parking entrance required personnel.
When they arrived at the security room, they saw it was divided into two parts. One part was for viewing the surveillance footage, with many monitors. The other part was a temporary resting area, resembling a regular office.
Xu Ping and Li Yan's arrival attracted a lot of attention. A man in a security uniform, looking slightly more authoritative than the rest and seemingly in his early thirties, recognized Xu Ping and greeted him, "Xiao Xu, what brings you here today?"
Xu Ping introduced them, "Since the deputy team leader left, Mr. Hai just appointed someone, my friend Li Yan, who was from the business department. Li Yan, this is Yang Dalong, Team Leader Yang. Hehe, you guys will be working together from now on."
"Team Leader Yang." Li Yan took out a cigarette. Security personnel generally smoked, and among men, there was no need for excessive politeness, so he handed out cigarettes directly.
Yang Dalong and several others accepted them and lit up.
"Team Leader Li, how much do you know about the security team?" Yang Dalong didn't hesitate and directly asked about work-related matters.
"Basically... not at all."
"..." Thinking he was going to say he understood basically everything, Yang Dalong almost choked on his smoke. "It's no problem, actually there aren't too many affairs. This is your desk. Everything is on the computer. You understand computers better than I do, so just take a look and you'll figure it out. It's just because you are appointed by Paradise, responsible for communicating with our company from now on, so when you have some time, I need to take you to our company to acquaint yourself with the situation and get to know each other to facilitate future cooperation."
"Let me get familiar first, how about the afternoon?" Li Yan went over to turn on the computer.
"The afternoon is good. Let me make a call to inform them first." Yang Dalong nodded.
After Xu Ping introduced them, he left after finishing his smoke.
Li Yan wasn't originally adept at management; even organizing mainly relied on Queen's management. But working in different places over the past two years allowed him to understand a lot, and he became more proficient at reading people and situations. Like when he was in the business department, although he had no significant achievements, he had observed and pondered most people in the department.
With Yang Dalong's guidance, he quickly understood all the deputy team leader's responsibilities. Basically, all the security tasks were handled by the team leader. The deputy team leader only played a liaison role when the security team had requests or the company had new instructions to convey. Communicating with the security company was more of a formality. They had been clients for so long; there were no issues with service or payment, so there weren't many times genuine contact was needed.
After understanding the whole workflow, Li Yan suddenly asked a question that shocked the others: "Team Leader Yang, has the security team ever had any internal theft incidents?"
"What?" Not only did the few others in the security office turn their attention, Yang Dalong also doubted his ears.
"Has there ever been any internal theft? Or has the entire... Jie Rui Security Guard Company ever had such an incident?" Li Yan seriously asked again.
Before Yang Dalong could respond, someone already shouted, "Are you here to insult us?"
Yang Dalong raised his hand to calm the others' anger and seriously asked Li Yan, "Team Leader Li, were your words just now representing yourself or Paradise Group?"
"Of course, it was representing myself, and my sense of responsibility as the deputy team leader." Li Yan glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Don't act like you've been caught. Anyone would have this concern or question, although most people won't voice it. I'm more straightforward; I ask whatever I'm curious about, not wanting to shift blame after a problem arises!"
Yang Dalong said in a deep voice, "This team of brothers has never had any problems while serving your Paradise Group! Let alone internal theft! Our company's service cannot say it's never had issues, but definitely no internal theft! If you are representing the company, wish to change service providers, or have other demands, please discuss with our manager this afternoon. I hope Mr. Li will refrain from using similar words to disrupt harmony anymore!"
"Team Leader" turned into "Mr.", clearly indicating he no longer felt Li Yan deserved the title.
Li Yan was indifferent and smiled, "I just asked. It's best if there are no issues. Haha, even if I didn't ask you, I'd ask your manager anyway. It's not personal. I'll treat everyone to lunch!"
"Thank you, but we'll eat at the company cafeteria." Yang Dalong and the others didn't show any kindness to Li Yan, so they wouldn't accept his invitation.
Li Yan didn't insist.
Of course, it was not that he was stingy, trying to save money at the cost of deliberately offending people. He had just realized during the introduction that the company had been serving Paradise Group for years, and there had never been any issues with their reputation being quite good. This would satisfy most people, but not Li Yan!
