Lying in the guest room arranged for him by Liu Yanru, Chu Ge rested on the bed with his head on his hands, his face full of contemplation.
"Is this the peach blossom feast rewarded by the system?"
This kind of reward, if possible, should be arranged a few more times. If it could be evaluated, Chu Ge would give the system a five-star rating. God knows how he struggled to finish this peach blossom feast.
Chu Ge gradually calmed down, recalling what happened today. The order of this parallel world was completely different from his previous life. The memories in his brain felt so normal that he thought they were his own.
The country was called Huameng. Decades ago, the world was in chaos, everywhere in a state of war, with no order at all. Major cities were doing their own things. In the end, under the threat of enemy countries, the rulers of the major cities negotiated peacefully. The major cities became the bases, and their alliance formed Huameng.
The city he was in was called Yundu. Almost instinctively, Chu Ge knew the ruler of Yundu was just a puppet pushed out by the four major families. The real rulers were the Feng, Qian, Zhao, and Xiao families. By monopolizing major industries, they achieved their goal of ruling the capital.
The person behind the scenes that the bald man mentioned was actually just a son of the Zhao family, Zhao Lingyun. Chu Ge had no way of knowing Zhao Lingyun's information. However, intrusion into the network could definitely find specific details. But Chu Ge didn't have a computer at the moment, so it seemed that tomorrow he would have to ask the boss to reimburse him for some supplies.
The all-round top bodyguard ability was not just as simple as brute force.
"I'm just a bodyguard. Where can there be so many troubles? It's all the boss's problems," Chu Ge muttered as he covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep comfortably.
In the master bedroom, Liu Yanru, still awake, was biting the quilt lightly, clutching it with both hands, her eyes blurry. She had just drunk a glass of red wine. How had she become so bold? Could it be that she was really moved by Chu Ge, a bodyguard she had only known for a day? But it must be too fast!
As Liu Yanru pondered, she thought of what happened to her today. It seemed that Huayue Group had already planned to tear its mask off. The people behind it were not simple, daring to use such means.
Liu Yanru returned to her role as the glamorous chairman and picked up the laptop beside her. Medusa Corporation must be successfully acquired. Even the danger from Huayue Group could not dissuade her decision. This acquisition was of great practical significance to Moyu Group's entry into the cosmetics industry.
This Medusa company not only had a perfect production line, but she had even bribed a researcher to get important news. The mask project secretly researched by Medusa Corporation was close to success. She feared Huayue Group didn't have any good intentions. It was all wolf ambitions, and who knew what else.
"In terms of business tactics, I'm really not afraid of anyone," Liu Yanru thought confidently as she sorted out her acquisition plan, preparing to implement it tomorrow.
The next day, at 07:30 in the morning, Chu Ge's sleep was brutally interrupted by Liu Yanru herself. On his first day of work, he had forgotten to set the alarm clock and ended up enjoying a wake-up service from his beautiful boss. It was as embarrassing as it could be.
Looking at the heavy rain on the majestic street, Chu Ge chewed on a meat bun and spoke indistinctly. "By the way, boss, yesterday I learned from the bald man that the person who wants to kidnap you is a collateral child of the Zhao family, named Zhao Lingyun. But boss, don't worry, my ability is definitely worth the annual salary of 300 million you paid. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your safety."
Chu Ge felt it necessary to remind the boss not to be confrontational because the Zhao family was too powerful for the Moyu Group. The difference was like that between clouds and mud; if the acquisition wasn't feasible, they could only give up, not force it.
"Zhao Lingyun, no wonder there's no news today about what happened yesterday," Liu Yanru muttered, her heart sinking. The Zhao family, once their funds reached a certain level, was incredibly powerful. After all, Yundu was secretly controlled by aristocratic families, and the Zhao family was one of them. Her own power was too small in comparison.
The more she thought about it, the paler Liu Yanru's face became. Could it be that her acquisition plan had to be stopped? Did she want to give up, but would the other party really stop? The kidnapping attempt wasn't just a harbinger of attacking the Moyu Group.
Liu Yanru's face became increasingly troubled, and Chu Ge felt a little distressed. For ordinary people, the aristocratic families were too far out of reach, untouchable. But once you did touch them, you'd find how hopeless the situation could become.
But Chu Ge wasn't afraid. Aristocratic families were mere stepping stones in novels like this. Speaking of families, Chu Ge suddenly remembered there was a family named Xiao. The Xiao family had always played a leading role. If used properly, they could easily destroy the Zhao family.
The protagonist only needed to have no conflicting interests with Chu Ge. He shouldn't stand on the opposite side of the protagonist!
[Option 1: As a professional bodyguard, pretend to be deaf and dumb when it comes to matters other than the boss's safety. Reward: Blood Dragon Dagger.]
[Option 2: As a personal bodyguard, the boss is in despair. A real man should step forward to help the boss solve the problem. Reward: One top business talent.]
Chu Ge looked at the choice suddenly given to him by the system and chose the second one without hesitation. As a young man, how could he let such a good boss fall into despair?
It would take a long-term plan to help the boss solve her difficulties, so it wasn't suitable to talk to her about it now. He was just a bodyguard, and if he said anything now, it would only be taken as empty comfort.
To solve this matter, the biggest variable was Zhao Lingyun.
Where are you, protagonist? I miss you so much! At this time, Chu Ge really wanted a protagonist to suddenly appear before him. Then he could borrow a knife to kill someone without any worries.
