Wei Qingzhong frowned, staring at Yang Chen, not knowing what conditions Yang Chen was going to propose next.
"This is life-saving money, I must send it back first!" Yang Chen said.
Wei Qingzhong looked into Yang Chen's eyes and said, "I trust you, but I also hope you can give me a full promise. If anything happens to my daughter, everything you have will be gone!"
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, Wei Qingzhong was threatening him.
He had never been afraid of threats.
However, a promise is a promise. If he's agreed to it, he'll crawl to fulfill it if necessary!
"Rest assured!" Yang Chen said.
Wei Qingzhong nodded, "Take this agreement to the general manager's office to report to Wei Xueqing, then you can go to finance to pick up the money and leave. Official work starts tomorrow!"
Yang Chen took the work agreement and turned to leave.
The general manager's office is on the 32nd floor, and the exclusive elevator requires an access card, so Wei Qingzhong's secretary escorted Yang Chen down and then to the general manager's office.
The woman in front of him was very beautiful, wearing a blue three-quarter sleeve casual business suit that made her look very competent, with her shoulder-length short hair looking very neat. Her features were prominent, with delicate eyebrows and red lips, looking stunning!
Such a beautiful woman could easily be mistaken for a vase, especially since her father was the chairman.
However, Yang Chen didn't feel that way. He could see the flicker of intelligence in this woman's eyes; she wasn't just a pretty face!
"Impossible! I don't need him!" Wei Xueqing said after reading the agreement, throwing it on the table angrily and standing up, "Take him away, I don't need a bodyguard!"
"You must keep him!" Wei Qingzhong's voice came from the doorway.
The three present turned their heads to look at the door.
"Dad!" Wei Xueqing said somewhat angrily.
Wei Qingzhong smiled bitterly, gesturing to the secretary to leave.
The secretary nodded immediately, walked out quickly, and closed the door on her way out.
"I knew you wouldn't agree, so I had to come personally!" Wei Qingzhong said with a wry smile.
"Dad! You know I won't agree, so why bring a bodyguard! I don't need a bodyguard at all, in broad daylight, what danger could I possibly be in! No way! Absolutely not!" Wei Xueqing pouted alluringly.
Wei Qingzhong sighed and said, "Silly child, our Shangdong Group went from being in debt to doubling its profits all thanks to your efforts, you're so outstanding that someone might target you!"
"Dad!" Wei Xueqing said gloomily, "It's a society ruled by law now, who would commit a crime like kidnapping! Besides, I'm just a rookie manager, who would notice me? Do you see those bosses with bodyguards?"
"Silly child, sunlight isn't as bright as you think! Look at your Uncle Li, is his driver just a simple driver? Have you noticed that driver follows him everywhere, even standing by during meetings? And your Uncle Chen, he was kidnapped before and now goes out with four bodyguards, do you think it's really that simple?" Wei Qingzhong frowned.
"No way, that's all nonsense, this isn't the old Shanghai period, where's all this darkness coming from!" Wei Xueqing refused to listen.
"Alright then! The report on the Southern Federation project still has some issues, I guess I'll need to reconsider!" Wei Qingzhong said with a stern face.
"Dad, you can't...!" Wei Xueqing was getting anxious.
"Also, the ten million funding you applied for your new project might be difficult, as the company is currently strapped for cash..."
"Dad!" Wei Xueqing stomped in anger, "Business is business, how can you mix them up?"
"Mixed up? You're the hope of the Shangdong Group, ensuring your safety comes first! You think about it yourself!" Wei Qingzhong said and then turned to leave.
"Fine! Okay! I agree! But let me tell you!" Wei Xueqing pointed at Yang Chen and said, "Even if you're my bodyguard, at most you'll just do driver work, other than that, don't let me see you!"
"That's not possible!" Wei Qingzhong said, "From now on, he will protect you twenty-four seven, except when you're bathing or in the toilet, he'll even be downstairs while you sleep! Arrange a room for him in your villa!"
"What?" Wei Xueqing's hair stood on end, "Are you crazy, Dad! You're letting him live with me, aren't you afraid...?"
"Afraid of what? I trust him! Besides, he was introduced by Old Zhuo, and I trust Old Zhuo!" Wei Qingzhong said solemnly.
"Fine!" Wei Xueqing gritted her teeth, "Just wait and see, if your daughter gets into any trouble, you'll have yourself to blame!"
Wei Qingzhong smiled, "I'd only worry if Yang Chen wasn't around!"
After saying that, Wei Qingzhong left with a hearty laugh.
With Wei Qingzhong gone, Wei Xueqing's resentment turned to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen felt that if looks could kill, he would have been chopped into pieces by now!
"Well... I..."
"Shut up!" Wei Xueqing said furiously, "Don't think you can act recklessly just because my dad supports you, I'm telling you, no way! If you do anything unsatisfactory or have any improper actions towards me, I'll fire you immediately! Earning a million a year, you actually dare to want that!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen felt there was no need to say more to Wei Xueqing and said solemnly, "Rest assured, my job is just to protect you, I'm not interested in your personal life, nor will I disturb you!"
"You better mean what you say!" Wei Xueqing snorted coldly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first and report in tomorrow morning."
"Go, go, go! Leave quickly!" Wei Xueqing waved her hand to shoo him away like a fly.
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, turned, and prepared to leave.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a voice rang out, "Qingqing, darling, I'm here!"
A graceful figure dashed in, and when she saw Yang Chen standing like a lamppost in the lobby, she was instantly dumbfounded.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Xin's face turned red upon seeing Yang Chen, automatically thinking of an incident at a hotel.
Yang Chen was also surprised, how was he bumping into this woman everywhere?
"You know Yang Chen?" Wei Xueqing was somewhat shocked.
"What? Yang Chen?" Ye Xin's eyes widened, looking at Yang Chen in disbelief, "You're called Yang Chen?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Yang Chen was also taken aback, what was going on?
They hadn't even exchanged names!
Ye Xin stood in front of Yang Chen, questioning like she was interrogating, "Your name is Yang Chen?"
"Yes!"
"From Shilong Village originally?"
Yang Chen was stunned, his hometown was indeed Shilong Village, which was his only memory from childhood, but how did this woman know?
Seeing Yang Chen not responding, Ye Xin anxiously asked, "Hurry up and say it, is it or isn't it?"
"Yes!"
Ye Xin was overjoyed and asked again, "Did you grow up in Baihe Orphanage?"
"That's right!"
"Great! I finally found you!" Ye Xin cheered, jumping up, and grabbed Yang Chen's arm, shouting, "Honey, I finally found you!"
