Chapter 9 - Go Shopping

"Young master I came to pick you up." A tall man dressed in a black suit with sunglasses stood near an expensive car and bowed to Hezekiah.

"You are …?" Hezekiah asked

"Wei Yasin! Master Zhou personal bodyguard." The man said

"What about my driver?"

"He won't be able to make it, so I came as a replacement." Wei Yasin patiently answers Hezekiah's questions without a trace of impatience on his face.

Hezekiah nodded. Wei Yasin reached out for Hezekiah's bag and opened the door for him.

Wei Yasin got in the driver's seat and began to drive. He'll look at Hezekiah through the view mirror from time to time.

The reason he came to pick up Zhou Jaing today is to see the young master for himself. The rumor about him is too extensive. Some even claim that he is a girl. While others argue that his gender can't be distinguished from his appearance.

He observed Zhou Jaing for a while. The boy's hair is black and long just like those people from the ancient novels. His face looks delicate and lovely, with long eyelashes and a pair of bright dark eyes. When looking at people, it seems to be able to absorb people's souls.

The coach was correcting something on the study board and captain Chen Guozhi was standing on the side.

"How was your investigation about the school contest? Have you picked the candidates already?" The coach asked and observe the study board

Chen Guozhi shook his head

"I told you about the newcomer. Have you met him? What do you think?" The coach asked as he observes Chen Guozhi expression

"You mean Zhou Jiang?" Chen Guozhi asked unsettling

The Coach nodded. After a moment, he picked up the file for the tryouts and looked through it. "Zhou Jiang defeated Han Xiao. What a surprise."

"Yeah. Everyone is amazed. If we can keep it going until the provincial compilation, that will be good." Chen Guozhi's expression begins much better.

"You seem to like Zhou Jiang." The coach smiled and teased him.

Chen Guozhi was startled for a moment, then his face began cold again. "I still don't know what he is made of. As a captain, I have to know my players well."

This is the first time they allowed a new pupil to join them without going through the preserve amount of procedure 

"Okay. You ask one of the boys to do the investigation if you are tired."

Chen Guozhi knew the coach was looking out for him. He just nodded and left.

The Han Family:

"Honey, what would you like to eat?" The woman turned to Han Xiao and asked 

Han Xiao did not speak,  his mother smiled and said. "If you don't say it, I'll make my own decision"

Han Xiao Dad, Mr. Han frowned slightly and finally couldn't help saying, "What about me?"

"What about you?" Mrs. Han turned to her husband 

"Why don't you ask me what I want to eat?" Mr. Han whispered 

Listening to his tone which seems to be a little aggravating, Mrs. Han suddenly laughed, "You are… How old are you? A child has to say what they would eat. You are not a child." 

As expected, the man frowned. "Okay, okay,  you are also cute. What do you want to eat?" Mrs. Han asked 

Mr. Han stopped talking at this time and looked at his son and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Han Xiao didn't speak. 

"Whatever you get for him." Mr. Han said to his wife and continued reading his newspaper. 

After his mother left for the kitchen, Han Xiao walked to the table and opened his laptop. Search: 'About the Zhou Group. No.1 company.'

The Zhou group has a lot of businesses. No. 1 is a bodyguard company. No. 2 is a factory. And a lot more.

Today he happened to see the No.1 Zhou Company car come to pick up Zhou Jaing. 

Han Xiao looked at the screen and suddenly recognized the man who picked up Zhou Jaing today. 

He couldn't help gasp when he saw the person's face on the screen. Wei Yasin, one of the most capable bodyguards of Ceo Zhou. No wonder he was driving the office car.

Everyone knows the Zhou No.1 group was one of the powerful groups but most of the people in it were bodyguards. What's more, the Boss behind it, CEO Zhou was a powerful figure that no one dared to call.

A bodyguard from the Zhou club came to pick him up? He didn't need to think to know this person's origins were definitely not simple and to think his surname is Zhou … forget it, let's check it out first….

The next day, it was Saturday morning. 

"I'm going to meet a friend,  I'll be back" Hezekiah waves to his mother. 

"Be careful." The woman's concerned voice sounded behind him. 

"Okay." Hezekiah laughed. So this is what it feels like to have a  concerned mother. Hezekiah felt warm in his heart. 

"Young master where should I take you?" The driver asked 

"Outside the school gate." 

The driver nodded and started the car.

Hezekiah wore a linen sky-blue button-down shirt. The top button on the shirt was unbuttoned with the sleeves-rolled-up, and a pair of white chino pants, along with a pair of white sneakers. His long hair falls on his back like a water-fall.

When the driver said he had arrived at the destination, Hezekiah got out of the car, looked up at the Proficient private school.

"You can go back first."  He said to the driver.

"Are you sure?" The driver asks hesitantly 

Hezekiah nodded 

"I thought you weren't going to come. I've been waiting for a long time." Han Xiao said as he walked to Hezekiah. 

Han Xiao wore a simple outfit with sunglasses.

"We didn't discuss the time, so I have no idea when you came." Hezekiah defense himself

"That's true." Han Xiao looked at the car that was leaving and asked. "Why did you let your driver go? How are we supposed to get there?"
