Li Xiaodong followed Luo Xin out of the house and took the elevator to the fitness hall of this building, in the center of the hall, nearly 100 security guards had gathered and lined up in order.

Generally speaking, the passenger capacity of a cruise ship can easily exceed 2,000 people, and the daily activities of more than 2,000 tourists on the ship must have supporting supermarkets, entertainment halls, bars, swimming pools, cinemas and other functional facilities, and there must be security personnel everywhere in these places to maintain order, so the number of security guards on the cruise ship is much more than that of star-rated hotels of the same size.

These nearly 100 security guards are divided into two levels according to different clothing, like Li Xiaodong and Luo Xin, who wear black suits, belong to the first-class security guards, a total of only one or twenty people, they have the authority to be on duty in any area of the cruise ship, their main task is to provide security for key areas such as first class and VIP cabins, because sometimes there will be political bigwigs of a certain country, superstars, top business giants, etc. In the eyes of tourists who need special security services, it is difficult for general security guards to meet their needs for security and privacy, so first-class security guards with superb skills and excellent quality have become the standard for these high-end people.

Except for the first-level security guards like Li Xiaodong who wear black suits, the others are ordinary security guards, some of their clothes are coffee-colored shirts, black trousers, and big caps, and some are caps and black short training uniforms, both men and women, they usually provide security in areas such as entertainment halls, outdoor swimming pools, ordinary cabin floors, and even engine cabins, as for the floors where VIP cabins, first class, and gambling halls are located, they are generally not allowed to enter, they only provide services for ordinary tourists.

Li Xiaodong followed Luo Xin, passed by the group of security guards, walked to the front of the queue, and stood in the first row of the black suit queue.

Seeing a new face appear, and as soon as he entered, he was wearing a black suit and wearing the identity of a first-class security guard, and in the queue, those ordinary security guards looked at it and began to talk softly.

People are jealous, and the security industry is no exception. The salary of the first-class security guard is higher than theirs, the clothing is better than theirs, and even the cabins they live in are single rooms, but the work is much easier than them, so there are many ordinary security guards who dream of being promoted to become a first-class security guard, but now they see that a newcomer can easily reach a level that they can hardly reach no matter how hard they try, and the taste in their hearts is naturally self-evident.

Among these people, some people lazily said strange things and began to express their dissatisfaction, "Colleagues, it seems that a new person is coming, and he is still a first-class security guard, everyone applauds and welcomes." ”

Pop pop, applause was sparse, some people whistled disdainfully, some people were casually saying welcome, Li Xiaodong looked at their appearance in his eyes, and knew that they were cheering for their arrival.

Luo Xin quietly pulled him and whispered: "Don't pay attention to them, they are all pink eye, we generally don't associate with them, we don't bother to look at them pantothenic acid." ”

Li Xiaodong nodded, thinking in his heart that it was best to remain silent with this group of people.

At this time, a burly man with an Asian face, wearing a beret, and a camouflage uniform with the military insignia removed, with his hands behind his back, led two black suit attendants, and came to the gym with indifferent eyes.

"He's Paul, nicknamed Bull, the head of all the security guards. Luo Xin whispered, and Li Xiaodong looked at it and looked at it carefully.

Come to think of it, this bull has a strong military plot, and now he is a security supervisor on a luxury cruise ship, he is still wearing his old camouflage military uniform, and his hands are always behind his back, and his waist is very straight.

He looked imposing and looked a bit bullish. Li Xiaodong thought.

"Stand upright!"

"Take a break!"

As soon as the bull came, someone automatically shouted the password, the assembled queue was marked, and the fitness hall became unusually quiet.

"When I came in just now, I heard people whistling and others babbling, and I wondered, what are you doing?" the bull stood at the front of the queue, his hands still behind his back.

There was silence, there was silence in the hall, no one made a sound, no one came forward.

The bull put on a "disciplined" face and walked back and forth in front of the queue, and finally, he looked at the newcomer Li Xiaodong, pointed at him and asked, "Are you new here, named Xiaodong?"

Li Xiaodong remembered Luo Xin's reminder before, and did not look directly into his eyes, Li Xiaodong's eyes drooped slightly, "Yes." ”

The bull came to him, stopped, looked at him, and asked, "Tell me, what were they talking about?"

Hearing him mention this question, Li Xiaodong was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer. If he tells the truth, it is equivalent to suing them in front of many ordinary security guards, and with his character, he will not offend a group of people casually because of such trivial things.

But if he didn't tell the truth, he could see that the bull in front of him should not be a foolish person, he had to work under his men in the past two days, and in order to complete his important tasks, he couldn't help but be low-key and vigilant, and be cautious.

He secretly pondered for a moment, and replied without humility or arrogance: "The topic he is discussing may be related to me. Maybe they saw new faces, and they were a little curious. They just welcomed me by whistling and clapping. ”

After hearing this, the bull showed a playful look and said: "I can see that you are very smart, according to your Chinese point of view, this is called the golden mean, also called Mingzhe self-preservation, which means that your emotional intelligence is very high." But it's a pity, I don't like this set of you Chinese, I even look down on you Chinese this point of view, when someone targets you and despises you, you don't dare to stand up against you, and you don't even dare to tell me the truth, Xiaodong, you are a cowardly person. ”

He put his hands behind his back, said with an indifferent face: "Listen to my order, in front of me, lie on the ground, five hundred push-ups." ”

As soon as he heard this, some people in the crowd began to snicker silently.

Li Xiaodong frowned slightly and said, "I want to know, why do you want me to do five hundred push-ups?"

The bull said coldly and arrogantly: "Generally speaking, I will not give any reason to my subordinates, my subordinates must obey my orders unconditionally, considering that you are new here, I can explain once, you remember, only once now." ”

He poked Li Xiaodong's chest with his finger: "You, hide the truth and lie to me, I want to punish you, that's the reason." Tell me now, are you convinced?"
