Lu Zhenhai and his party also left, but as they did, they looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression, clearly harboring some plot.
When the office was left with only Lin Feng and the mother and daughter, Lu Yuxin, the atmosphere turned somewhat peculiar, and it took quite a while before Chairman Xiao finally spoke, "Lin Feng, you have saved me again, and I, Xiao Qinglan, apologize for my previous actions. I was short-sighted."
Chairman Xiao sincerely apologized and tried to stand up, but her weak body swayed and almost fell, prompting Lu Yuxin to quickly support her.
Lin Feng shook his head and said calmly, "I can understand the difficulties of Chairman Xiao. A widow and orphan need to maintain so much property, and not only did the family members not help, but they even added insult to injury and snatched aggressively."
"Moreover, with my mysterious background as an outsider, seemingly having a dubious relationship with your only daughter, anyone in your position would have done the same."
"Oh? So you and Yuxin really have a relationship?" Xiao Qinglan suddenly changed her tone, turning it strange.
"Cough cough..." Caught off guard by this shift, and given that he had indeed slept with her daughter, Lin Feng couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Mom, listen to me..." Lu Yuxin's face turned crimson as she tried to explain.
"Lin Feng, do you want to take our relationship a step further?" Xiao Qinglan cut off Lu Yuxin with a question that shocked both of them.
Lin Feng was confused. This question was too straightforward; could it be a trap? High-ranking people often speak insincerely, and it's good if even one out of three of their statements is true.
"Do you think I'm bluffing you?" Seeing right through Lin Feng's thoughts, Xiao Qinglan turned serious: "I sincerely invite you to join the Lu Group, and you can name your own salary."
Lin Feng had to admire Xiao Qinglan's decisiveness and strategy, but his mind was still clear. The amount of money he would take was proportional to the responsibility he would bear, and Xiao Qinglan's job was not an easy one, so he remained silent.
Seeing Lin Feng unmoved, Xiao Qinglan was even more amazed at the young man's steadfastness. She realized that without laying all her cards on the table, he wouldn't consider her proposal at all.
"First, I want to hire you as a personal medical consultant for me and Yuxin, and second, ever since Yuxin's father's incident, I have felt that it was not an accident. So, I have been looking for a bodyguard for Yuxin," she continued.
"I never found the right candidate until now, and today's sudden aggression from family members has made me even more anxious. Your arrival matches all my conditions, so I earnestly request your agreement."
Xiao Qinglan looked at Lin Feng expectantly, her tone and posture very humble. Lu Yuxin's eyes suddenly moistened; her father's death, her mother's predicaments, having just been taken advantage of by Lin Feng, combined with Lin Feng's reluctance, made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Mom, you don't have to beg him. I can take care of myself. Besides, one treatment doesn't mean anything, and a bodyguard needs real skills. Who knows if his abilities aren't just superficial," Lu Yuxin said, both annoyed and aggrieved, holding back tears.
What kind of drama are this mother and daughter playing, each with an attitude stranger than the other, causing Lin Feng's head to hurt even more.
"Alright, alright, alright, I agree, just wipe your tears. Anyone who doesn't know better might think I've done something terrible to both of you," Lin Tian waved his hand, reluctantly agreeing, since he had indeed slept with her daughter.
Seeing Lin Feng's impatient demeanor, Lu Yuxin's heart filled with more anger as she glared at him irritably.
Xiao Qinglan watched, feeling helpless inside. Her daughter had always been calm in her dealings, and never emotionally disrupted by any man. Yet today, because of Lin Feng, she had been emotionally unstable several times.
"Yuxin, take Lin Feng to get a few suits made. Don't worry about me here, my secretary will take me to the sanatorium soon," Xiao Qinglan said, not wanting any further complications, and quickly urged her daughter.
With no other option, Lu Yuxin reluctantly took Lin Feng out.
As they were exiting the elevator, Lu Zhenhai appeared, blocking their way.
