"Hai, what did you just say?"
"You want me to be a bodyguard for a girl?"
In a local cuisine restaurant in South City, Jinling.
Han Yu, clad in a delivery uniform, lifted his cup from the table and drained it in one go, "No way, absolutely not! If Tingting finds out I'm being a bodyguard for another girl, she'll definitely lose it..."
Six months ago, Han Yu had retired from the United Combat Team due to his age and physical health, returning to his hometown in Jinling.
After retiring, Han Yu couldn't find a suitable job and temporarily took up food delivery.
The bald man sitting across from Han Yu said with a smile, "Yu, don't be so quick to refuse. Do you know who that girl is?"
Han Yu put down his chopsticks after taking a bite of food, and said disinterestedly, "I don't care who she is. I'm not taking the job, find someone else."
"I've finished eating. Got to go deliver food..."
"Lin Qingya!"
Fang Hai grabbed Han Yu, lowering his voice, "She is Lin Qingya from the Lin Corporation!"
Lin Corporation?
Han Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly; he had seen this company in newspapers and online.
Lin Corporation, a benchmark enterprise in Jinling City covering real estate, finance, catering, entertainment, and other industries, was one of the top 500 companies in Great Xia a decade ago with assets worth tens of billions!
Twenty-three-year-old Lin Qingya was a director of Lin Corporation and the current Executive CEO.
Half a year ago, she returned from studying at Haverford Business School overseas, and under the strong support of Old Mr. Lin, she took the helm as CEO of Lin Corporation.
Upon taking charge, Miss Lin led an internal restructuring storm within Lin Enterprises, firing a third of the company's top management and promoting a lot of newcomers.
In just six months, the entire Lin Enterprises had undergone a complete overhaul, and its performance had doubled compared to previous years.
Rumors had it that the Iceberg Female CEO was not only capable but also exceedingly beautiful, matching and even surpassing the glitter of television's biggest stars. However, her personality was said to be rather cold, leading many to refer to her as the "Iceberg Female CEO".
"Yu, you've been retired for half a year now, and delivering food is no solution," said Fang Hai as he refilled Han Yu's cup. "Old Mr. Lin was looking for a skilled person to help protect his granddaughter recently, and when I heard the news, I immediately thought of you."
"You were our team leader, strong and quick-witted. Even though you retired due to an injury, protecting a girl should be a piece of cake, right?"
"The conditions that Lin Corporation is offering are not bad at all, a monthly salary of twenty thousand, with room and board covered, plus social insurance and housing fund, and a separate year-end bonus!"
"Want to consider it?"
Initially, Han Yu didn't feel much about it, but when he heard about the salary of twenty thousand a month and included room and board, he was tempted.
Money troubles can thwart even the bravest heroes.
To buy a house and get married, he had given all his retirement money, three hundred thousand, along with his adoptive mother's savings of two hundred thousand—a total of five hundred thousand—to his girlfriend Li Mengting.
But the property prices in Jinling City were too high; a down payment alone would cost at least seven hundred thousand.
Over the past six months, in an effort to save up for a house, Han Yu rented a thirty-square-meter old apartment in the old city district, working from dawn to dusk delivering food. Despite his efforts, he was still far short.
A monthly salary of twenty thousand, and in about half a year, he could gather enough for the down payment.
"Okay!"
For the sake of money, Han Yu picked up his cup, "Hai, I'll follow your lead..."
"Alright! Then Yu, just wait a moment," Fang Hai said with relief as he took out his phone and stepped outside.
Five minutes later, Fang Hai came back in, smiling, "Yu, I just got off the phone with Elder Lin. He said Miss Lin is currently in room 1608 at the Peninsula International Hotel and wants you to go for an interview right now."
Right now?
Han Yu glanced at the clock in the restaurant. It was ten o'clock at night. Going to a hotel for an interview at this hour?
```
That's not quite suitable, is it?
"Miss Lin has a lot on her plate daily, and she doesn't have the time to specifically look for you for an interview,"
Seeing the confusion in Han Yu's heart, Fang Hai spoke up, "Hurry up, change out of your delivery clothes, comb your hair, and dress up sharply."
"A bodyguard must look the part."
...
Meanwhile, in Peninsula International Hotel, Room 1608.
A woman wearing a snow-white cotton pajama, her long hair wrapped in a shower cap, walked out of the bathroom.
This woman possessed a pair of bright eyes as clear as autumn waters, eyebrows like crescent moons, long lashes, and lips a charming red, with a beauty so otherworldly and a celestial temperament, she seemed like a fairy descended from the palace above.
Perhaps because she had soaked in the tub for too long, her skin blossomed with a rosiness akin to the peach blossoms of March.
The exposed skin was pale as snow, soft and delicate, especially those long white legs, which appeared exceedingly tempting.
"Grandfather really, making me personally interview a bodyguard."
The woman sat at the dressing table, picked up the warm milk her assistant had brought earlier, sipped it twice, then sat down at the desk to continue working on the documents she hadn't finished earlier.
As the current Executive CEO of Lin Corporation, Lin Qingya had to read and sign nearly a hundred documents daily, often working until after ten at night.
There she was, having just returned to her hotel room after dinner with a client, took a quick bath, and resumed working.
"What is Yan doing? Doesn't he know I like the scent of jasmine essential oil?"
Seeing the essential oil on the desk, Lin Qingya's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
As she was about to call Yan to change the essential oil, she suddenly felt dizzy, her face flushing like clouds at sunset.
Lin Qingya felt the room getting hotter and hotter; she set the thermostat to the lowest temperature, but it did not help to alleviate the heat. She took off her cotton pajama, leaving only a skin-tight garment on, revealing her tender, fair skin, yet she still couldn't cool down.
Lin Qingya's body was unbearably hot, feeling as if a fierce fire was wildly burning within her, threatening to completely consume her.
"Dong dong!"
Just then, a knock came from the door.
Wearing a checkered shirt and blue jeans, Han Yu stood outside the room door, knocking, "Miss Lin, hello, I'm Han Yu, I've come for the bodyguard interview..."
Before he could finish speaking, with a clang, the door was pushed open.
A woman of incomparable beauty, her face blooming like peach blossoms and dressed in thin attire, crazily threw herself onto Han Yu, her rouge-like lips kissing his cheek directly.
"Lin... Miss Lin?"
Han Yu stiffened for a moment and before he could ponder further, the other person had already dragged him forcibly into the room.
With a clang, the door closed behind them.
Once inside the room, Miss Lin, with her flushed face and scorching body, clung to Han Yu tightly, like an octopus.
Han Yu was worried about hurting her, after all, she was a fragile girl and moreover, his prospective employer.
He tried to control his strength, attempting to pry Miss Lin's arms free.
But unexpectedly, he stumbled and both of them fell onto the bed.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, "Miss Lin, calm down..."
However!
In the next second, Han Yu's expression changed drastically as a wave of heat surged through his body; he abruptly looked up at the essential oil on the table.
"No good! I've been had..."
