Chapter 219: Bodyguard?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen didn’t rest for too long before going back to Jingsheng Enterprise for work.
During the half a month when Jing Yichen was absent, Jing Zhongxiu had taken over the role of the president. There were too many complicated business affairs at the enterprise and the president was required to make the decision. When it came to decisions that involved billions or tens of billions yuan, the President was needed to sign the contract in person.
Luckily, the father and the son were quite alike in personality, and Jing Yichen had been brought up by Jing Zhongxiu who had almost the same administration methods. So when Jingsheng Enterprise was left in the care of either of them, there was not much difference. Their staff didn’t feel any major change, either.
The only difference was that Jing Zhongxiu gave face to the old employees at the enterprise and the talks were often done in a relatively harmonious way whilst Jing Yichen didn’t care about reputation, so people needed to be more prepared and quicker in reaction in front of him.
On Monday morning, Shangguan Ning saw Jing Yiran dressed in a pure white suit and a blue tie in her office.
He was drinking water from the thermos cup which Shangguan Ning usually used. He looked notable and elegant.
But Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but frown.
She would throw away the cup later.
So Jing Yiran was coming to work every day now? Must she see such a handsome yet annoying face every day and change a cup every day, too?
“Yo, Beauty, what is that look? Do you hate me that much? I don’t, that is why I used a second-hand cup. Also, shouldn’t you be thankful instead? I risked my life to save you fifteen days ago and you don’t care about that at all?” Jing Yiran placed his long legs upon Shangguan Ning’s desk, put down the cup and then took the mirror from Shangguan Ning’s drawer to check his appearance.
“Thank you for saving my life. if you hadn’t risked your life to save me, I might not have gotten hurt. I had a bullet-proof jacket on me which covered everything except for my arms. So I suspect that you were taking revenge rather than saving me.”
Shangguan Ning sounded cold. Having said the words, she turned around and walked to the office next door to fetch Lu Qing who could handle this maniac.
Jing Yiran got startled seeing her turn away. He realized now that he might really have done a terrible job in helping her.
But it was okay! Shangguan Ning only got injured in her arm. Yes, she got injured because of him. But that somehow made him happy, because she had some scars because of him, now. How nice it sounded! As long as she was alive, everything was just fine.
Shangguan Ning came to Lu Qing’s office and was about knock and enter when the door was opened from inside. A very pretty girl with a baby face stepped out.
Shangguan Ning stared at the girl in astonishment.
What was going on?
She had been at Jingsheng for so long and she had never seen Lu Qing bringing anyone into his office. He was a man who kept his private matters separate from the public affairs, and he always received his acquaintances in the guest room.
Who was this little girl?
She was feeling surprised when Lu Qing walked outside. He said to the baby-face girl at the sight of Shangguan Ning. “Lu, this is Shangguan Ning, you will be her assistant.”
Lu said sweetly, “Sister Shangguan, nice to meet you. I am Lu and I will be your bodyguard.”
Shangguan Ning got confused by how Lu Qing asked Lu to address her – assistant or bodyguard? Neither seemed right.
She was an assistant as well and she got one assistant for herself?
As for bodyguard – Lu looked tiny, skinny and short on nutrients. Her baby face made her look like an underaged girl. Was she joking about being a bodyguard?
Lu Qing brought Lu out of his office. He almost laughed at the sight of Shangguan Ning’s astonished face. “Assistant Shangguan, congratulations. You have been promoted to become one of the Deputy Presidents of the enterprise and you would be addressed as Deputy President Shangguan now. You have been promoted by the old President himself. Although the notice hasn’t been issued, yet the other deputy presidents have been informed. You have the same status as the other presidents and you have been given an assistant in accordance with the treatment of other deputy presidents.”
“But Lu is a bit active and she doesn’t know much about the affairs of our enterprise. So she won’t do any work for you and will only be in charge of your safety. We can get another working assistant if you need one.”
Shangguan Ning almost lost her mind upon hearing the series of surprising news.
Deputy President? She had become a Deputy President?
No way!
She had been in Jingsheng for half a year and she was already being promoted to become the Deputy President? Everyone was definitely going to get a shock. Even if she was Jing Zhongxiu’s daughter-in-law yet she shouldn’t be favored in this way, right? Although she was confident about her ability and diligent in her studies, yet the pace was a bit too fast, like a rocket! Could this really work?
Also, according to what Lu Qing said, this Lu was really her bodyguard?
That was even more shocking than the first piece of news. Jing Zhogxiu had mentioned to her that she would be promoted to be the deputy president after she had gained enough experience. She just didn’t expect that it would come so fast.
Lu was such a skinny girl... could she really be a bodyguard?
Lu seemed to have sensed her confusion. She was not angry but smiled at Shangguan Ning sweetly. She said in a lovely voice, “Sister Shangguan, don’t look down on me. I am very good at punching people. I can punch one for you right now if you don’t believe me!”
She said as she looked around and spotted Jing Yiran who just came out of Shangguan Ning’s office. Her eyes widened, “Brother Jing!”
Jing Yiran got startled and then saw Lu coming to his side.
He stared at Lu and forgot about her being dangerous. She looked familiar but he had no idea as to where he had met her. It was a strange feeling that drove Jing Yiran to think hard.
Seeing Jing Yiran staring at her dumbfoundedly, Lu was satisfied with his “being obedient”. Without saying a word, she went up and pressed down Jing Yiran from his shoulders.
With a loud “flapping” sound, the 186-cm tall Jing Yiran was smashed to the ground by the 160-cm tall Lu.
Jing Yiran let out a cry of pain. He felt that his inner organs had been smashed down by her completely. He couldn’t breath.
Lu waved to Shangguan Ning excitedly. “Sister Ning, see? I can punch people. Can I be your bodyguard now?”
