Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Critical Moment

The nine - to - five leisurely working hours only apply to those wage - earners who stick to full attendance every month. For a big boss like Chen Shuyuan, who is in charge of a group, which day doesn't she work overtime until late at night? Especially recently, Huaxin Group, which started with real estate, has entered the most "difficult" period in its history. After a series of national policies to stabilize housing prices were introduced, the pre - sales of many of Huaxin's ongoing projects were directly affected. The declining sales volume has put Huaxin, which takes real estate as its main economic body, at an important stage of industrial transformation.

Chen Shuyuan, stretching her numb shoulders from maintaining a long - term posture, took off her gold - rimmed glasses, slowly turned her head, and looked out of the window at the brightly lit night sky. Gently rubbing the corners of her eyes, she slowly stood up, casually took out her small bag from the drawer, and walked out of the office with slightly tired steps.

Xiao Sheng, who had changed into a new set of clothes, was sitting at a table not far from Dai Muxue at this time, flipping through an economic book that he had borrowed from Dai Muxue with much cheek. This habit, which was developed under the constant urging of his old man, had never been abandoned even when he was in the army. As a personal bodyguard "specially dispatched" by Old Man Chen, Xiao Sheng's status was different from others. He "stood on an equal footing" with Chen Shuyuan's assistant, Dai Muxue, and was given a seat right in the room in front of the chairman's office.

After a short period of contact, Xiao Sheng, who had come to understand the temperament of the boss he was going to protect in the coming days, didn't dare to cross the line any further. After being "kicked out" of Chen Shuyuan's room, under the guidance of Dai Muxue, he got a set of work clothes and a work permit. In the following time, he was poring over the book in his hand. Several times, when Dai Muxue was free from work, she would inadvertently glance at Xiao Sheng, who seemed to be "putting on an act". But as time passed, he really seemed to be engrossed in reading, which slightly changed Dai Muxue's impression of him.

The door of the office was pulled open. This made Xiao Sheng, who was originally reading with his head down, slowly raise his head. Looking at Chen Shuyuan's outfit for leaving, Xiao Sheng carefully put down the book in his hand, walked around the table, and followed closely behind Chen Shuyuan with Dai Muxue.

After putting down the book, Xiao Sheng immediately resumed his usual "lecherous" look. Along the way, Xiao Sheng would "flirt" with Dai Muxue, who was walking beside him, with his eyes from time to time, causing the other party to always respond with resentful eyes as if he was "sex - starved". Thinking that he could complete the extremely boring protection task with these two beauties in the coming days, Xiao Sheng felt quite pleased.

The senior management of Huaxin has their own exclusive elevator. The three of them didn't spend much time on the elevator ride from the top floor to the underground parking lot on the first floor. Chen Shuyuan's car was a black imported Mercedes - Benz S600. Xiao Sheng, who had always had a soft spot for German cars, couldn't help but beam with joy when he saw this imposing black "giant".

Dai Muxue, who was walking beside him, glanced at Xiao Sheng with a bit of disdain. A country bumpkin is always a country bumpkin! He has simply never seen the world. When they reached the car, Dai Muxue took a few quick steps forward and opened the car door for Chen Shuyuan herself. After closing the door tightly, she slightly raised her head, looked at Xiao Sheng, and asked coldly, "Can you drive?" Xiao Sheng, who was bending down to look closely at the car, heard Dai Muxue's words and suddenly looked up, answering in surprise, "Ah? Me? Yes, I can even fly a plane!" Xiao Sheng wasn't bragging when he said this. As an all - around king of soldiers in the special forces, Xiao Sheng was proficient in operating many kinds of machinery. Hearing this, Dai Muxue let out a soft "hum" and subconsciously muttered, "Can fly a plane..." Her voice was very stiff, tinged with sarcasm. Just as Xiao Sheng was about to open the car door, he stopped his hand when he heard this. Before the other party got into the passenger seat, he replied, "Really. I can not only fly a plane, but also 'beat a plane'. I'll show you sometime..." Dai Muxue, who was stunned on the spot, suddenly realized the real "meaning" of the other party's words. Her face was filled with anger. If it weren't for Chen Shuyuan being in the car, she really wanted to go up and slap him.

The car was driving smoothly on the roads of Gangcheng. The interior of the car was a bit dull. Chen Shuyuan, who never brought work home, would use this time to sort out the work situation of the whole day. Originally, the one driving the car was Hong Qiquan, who was knocked down by Xiao Sheng with one punch this morning. Knowing his master's habit, he would keep silent with Dai Muxue at this time. However, Xiao Sheng, under the pretext of asking for directions, kept chatting with Dai Muxue beside him, instantly disturbing Chen Shuyuan's train of thought. Frowning tightly, she glared at him several times. Xiao Sheng, who could also see this through the rear - view mirror, would always give her a thick - skinned and simple - honest smile.

Chen Shuyuan's residence was not in the urban area but at the foot of Yuntai Mountain, the first mountain in Jiangsu Province, nestled by mountains and rivers. This high - end villa complex built relying on the natural landscape was also a classic work of Huaxin.

The winding road paved along the mountain was the best time to test a driver's skills. After entering this area, Xiao Sheng, who didn't show any signs of panic, continued to drive the car at a constant speed. The street lamps on both sides of the road illuminated the entire mountain brightly. The vast mountain seemed extremely quiet at this time...

However, at this moment, the dull sound of the engine shattered the silence of the whole mountain. Xiao Sheng, who had a relaxed expression originally, couldn't help but frown. As the thick engine sound got closer and closer, Xiao Sheng's eyes began to glance at the rear - view mirror beside the car from time to time.

In the car, Dai Muxue looked at the rear - view mirror next to the passenger seat with a slightly nervous expression. After about a minute or so, a bright red Ferrari sports car came into their sight. The speed of the car was very fast. Even when it was about to rear - end the Mercedes - Benz, the other party still showed no sign of stopping.

Xiao Sheng, gripping the steering wheel with one hand and suddenly stepping on the accelerator, had a thick smile on his face. The Mercedes - Benz, which was originally moving forward at a constant speed in a straight line, shot out like a bullet from the chamber, instantly 拉开 a distance from the Ferrari behind. The difficulty of the mountain road was not due to its unevenness, but its twists and turns that made it difficult to accelerate. However, under Xiao Sheng's driving, the black giant didn't slow down even when turning. Xiao Sheng had one foot slightly on the brake while the other was stepping hard on the accelerator.

The harsh sound of the tire rubbing against the ground resounded throughout the mountain. The two women in the car were already 吓得 pale by Xiao Sheng's current actions. Dai Muxue, tightly holding the handrail in the car, shouted nervously, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. The two cars behind are trying to chase us. Without knowing their identities, I can only shake them off. I'll investigate after my employer is safe..." Xiao Sheng said this extremely seriously. When it came to his job, Xiao Sheng was always meticulous.

"Stop. The one driving is Miss Chen's cousin..." Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly turned the car around, then stepped on the brake hard. The car, which was originally driving at high speed, made a circle on the spot and then stopped straight in place.

However, the driver of the Ferrari following closely behind didn't have such skills. Refusing to admit defeat, the other party stepped on the accelerator harder. But just as the car was turning, he saw the black Mercedes - Benz parked head - on there. There was a girl's scream in the car. Even though she stepped on the brake hard, how could a car driving at high speed stop immediately? It was originally a one - way street, and now the Mercedes - Benz was blocking the middle of the road. The red Ferrari and the black Mercedes - Benz were about to collide in an instant! This time, even Dai Muxue, who usually spoke little, couldn't help but scream...
