I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 763 - 518 Trouble

A dozen security guards were grumbling, some about the internet celebrities, others about Xia Liang. In short, they were all venting their frustrations.

Team Leader Xue Xiao, however, remained silent with a grim expression. Only when his subordinates had nearly finished venting did he speak, his voice cold. "Are you done?"

Seeing their leader's displeasure, several guards quickly tugged at their teammates' arms, signaling them to shut up.

Once everyone had quieted down, Xue Xiao began to speak solemnly. "We are security guards. We're here to protect the property of the residents and the community itself. The property management hired us to do a job, not to sit around and relax. If you all shrink back and complain at the first sign of difficulty, then what's the point of having us here?"

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the men.

"God Xia used magic to save lives, never flinching from danger or hardship. He even subdued an armed criminal. Meanwhile, a dozen of us grown men are being beaten back by a horde of internet celebrities. And now, instead of figuring out how to deal with them, you're here complaining that God Xia is too famous and shouldn't live in our community. I want to ask you: when you pocket that salary of several thousand Yuan, does the money not burn your hands?"

As Xue Xiao spoke, his tone grew heavier, his emotions escalating into raw anger.

The surrounding guards all hung their heads in shame, none daring to meet his gaze. Everyone knew Xue Xiao was a veteran with a reputation for strict discipline. When he got angry, it was like being on a battlefield; his intensity was so intimidating that no one dared to look him in the eye.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Xue Xiao softened his tone slightly before continuing, "Let me ask you, if God Xia leaves because he's too famous, what happens tomorrow when another internet celebrity moves in? Do we ask them to leave too? And then the next one, and the next? What's the point of us being here if we just keep driving residents away until the community is empty?"

At the community entrance, Xue Xiao's voice boomed like thunder, the sound echoing long after he'd finished.

"Well said!"

"Team Leader Xue is right! We trust you to protect our property!"

"Exactly! With a man like Team Leader Xue in charge, we know our community is safe!"

"Hearing Team Leader Xue speak today has given me a whole new respect for our security guards!"

...

A large crowd of residents had gathered at the community entrance because of the throng of internet celebrities. Once the mob of influencers finally forced their way inside and disappeared from view, the residents who lingered behind witnessed the scene of Xue Xiao berating his guards. Immediately, applause erupted as countless residents clapped in praise.

Xia Liang, who had just arrived at the entrance, naturally witnessed the entire speech. Noticing Xue Xiao looking over at him, Xia Liang offered a faint smile.

"Sorry to have caused so much trouble for you and your team, Team Leader Xue."

Xue Xiao rushed over, his voice filled with excitement. "God Xia, please don't say that! We're security guards, and it's our duty to protect the residents' property. I've watched the video of you saving that person several times. My whole family are fans, and my daughter especially loves your magic."

"I served as a soldier on the frontier, so I understand the danger you faced using magic to save a life far better than most. To me, you're not just a celebrity or an online influencer; you're a hero. It's an honor to be your neighbor, and it makes me proud to work as a security guard here. Letting those influencers into the community today was our failure."

"But we will conduct a thorough review and drive every single one of them out. The residents' safety and property are sacrosanct. They are not to be touched—not unless they tear this uniform right off my body!"

Xia Liang reached out and patted Xue Xiao's shoulder, a light smile on his face. "Team Leader Xue, please, relax. This isn't the army. You don't need to hold yourself or your men to military standards. It was inevitable that those influencers would get in. Our community isn't some restricted military zone, and it's not like we have any dark secrets to hide. Let them in if they want. As long as they don't cause any trouble, let them be. If they do start something, however, then we'll have every right to deal with them."

Xue Xiao nodded vigorously. "Yes, God Xia, you're right. I'll listen to you."

At that moment, the surrounding crowd broke into another round of thunderous applause.

"God Xia is right! It's not like our community has anything to hide. We can't stop people from entering. They're just people, not dangerous criminals."

"Those influencers are just bored, coming here to pester people."

"God Xia, it's not a big deal for us, but you need to be careful. Don't let those influencers sneak into your home."

"Yes, yes! Just let us know if you need any help." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Absolutely! You're a hero who got famous for saving lives. Even the official Kyushu Country account praised you by name! We're all thrilled to have you as a neighbor. We'd feel terrible if anything happened to you here in the community."

...

Xia Liang nodded, taking in the goodwill from the crowd. I'm not even close with these people, he thought. Besides collecting rent once a month, we barely interact. But just because of that one video, they're all on my side. This feels really good.

He smiled as he scanned the crowd. "Thank you, everyone. But please, don't worry. I won't let those influencers run wild, and I can protect myself. You don't need to worry about me."
