Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1219: Chapter 1212: Wu Yue (Happy New Year!)

“What, do you think I don’t look the part?”

Lu Tianxing smiled at Xue Man, not at all surprised that Xue Man knew these things. After all, Xue Man was Lin Qianru’s close friend, and it’s only natural for her to learn about him from Lin Qianru. Moreover, Xue Man’s sister, Xue Bing, was also part of the Yanhuang Group, so finding out about these things wasn’t difficult.

Besides, his entry into the Lu Family wasn’t hidden. Anyone with a little bit of connections knew about it, though they didn’t know it was him.

“Not one bit.”

Xue Man gave Lu Tianxing a thorough look and said something that nearly made Lu Tianxing spit blood.

“Minister Xue, are you here today just to slap me in the face?”

“Of course not.”

Xue Man glanced at Lu Tianxing and said, “I invited you here today to ask you for a favor.”

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback: “A favor?”

“Yes, I want to ask you to accompany me to a classmate…”

Xue Man nodded gently, but before she finished her sentence, an abrupt voice reached her ears: “Xiao Man, is that you? What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Upon hearing this voice, Xue Man’s face immediately turned cold, filled with disgust.

Hearing the voice, Lu Tianxing instinctively turned around and saw a man in a neatly pressed suit, with shiny polished shoes, walking briskly over. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a tough demeanor and handsome face, he instantly attracted the attention of many women around him.

A soldier?

Observing the aura emanating from this young man, Lu Tianxing slightly frowned and quickly shook his head. This young man was indeed a soldier, but likely not from China. Their auras differed, and anyone who had been in the military could easily tell.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this young man probably served in a foreign legion, or even worked as a mercenary.

The young man seemed oblivious to the admiring glances around him, as he walked step by step to Xue Man’s side, smiling and saying, “Xiao Man, I really didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you also here for tea? I often come here, and the tea is quite good.”

Seeing this man, Xue Man said indifferently, “Is it strange for me to come here for tea? Or in your opinion, does a small security guard like me not deserve to drink tea?”

“Haha, you’re joking, Xiao Man. To me, it doesn’t matter who you are; everyone deserves to enjoy things.”

The young man showed no displeasure at Xue Man’s words, maintaining the demeanor of a perfect gentleman. His gaze swept the surroundings and landed on Lu Tianxing: “Xiao Man, is this your friend? Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Wu Yue, a former college classmate of Xiao Man’s.”

As he spoke, the young man extended his right hand towards Lu Tianxing in a very gentlemanly manner.

“Lu Tianxing, nice to meet you.”

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face. Lu Tianxing extended his hand to politely shake Wu Yue’s hand.

“You look quite impressive, Mr. Lu. May I ask where you’re currently working?” Wu Yue asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing thought inwardly, another smiling tiger, but outwardly he remained calm: “Nothing much, just a small employee at a company, working as a minor assistant, running errands. But you, Mr. Wu, given your imposing manner, must be in some high-level position!”

“Haha, you’re too kind, Mr. Lu. Not too high-level, just working as an instructor at a bodyguard company…”

“Bodyguard, huh? I used to envy bodyguards the most as a kid. Wearing black suits, with earpieces and sunglasses, looking so cool. To be honest, I really admired bodyguards, especially Jet Li’s bodyguard in Zhongnanhai, which I’ve seen dozens of times.”

Before Wu Yue could finish speaking, Lu Tianxing interrupted: “Mr. Wu, you may not believe it, but my biggest dream as a child was to be a bodyguard. Unfortunately, when it came to the selection process, I didn’t pass the physical fitness test and got eliminated. It’s the greatest regret of my life.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s regretful look, Wu Yue had a mocking smile in his eyes. He’d initially regarded Lu Tianxing as a competitor, but now it seemed Lu Tianxing was just an inconsequential guy.

Despite these thoughts, Wu Yue didn’t show any of this on his face and continued smiling, “Interestingly, our company is currently recruiting bodyguards. If you’re interested, Mr. Lu, I could recommend you. Given your current physical condition, with a bit of training, you should have no problem getting selected.”

Upon hearing Wu Yue’s words, Lu Tianxing looked excited and said, “Really? You can really recommend me? I can finally fulfill my dream, I’m so thrilled.”

Sitting beside him, Xue Man almost spit out her tea upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words. To envy being a bodyguard—only this guy could say something like that. Who could handle having the Third Young Master of Lu Family as a bodyguard?

Even though she knew Lu Tianxing was just bluffing Wu Yue, Xue Man remained silent, quietly watching. She didn’t care much for Wu Yue, as she regarded him as a hypocrite: saying one thing on the surface, doing another behind the scenes.

Wu Yue’s smile grew even broader: “Certainly, as long as you’re not afraid of hard work, Mr. Lu, I guarantee your dream can come true.”

“Really!”

Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up, then he shook his head: “Never mind, Mr. Wu, thank you for the offer, but I can’t do the bodyguard thing. I don’t want to die early.”

Xue Man couldn’t help but ask, “What’s that got to do with dying early?”

“Of course, it has to do with it. On television, bodyguards protect their masters from bullets at critical moments. I don’t want to die, much less take a bullet for money. If I lose my life, what’s the use of money?”

Lu Tianxing said it matter-of-factly, then looked at Wu Yue seriously and said, “Mr. Wu, speaking sincerely, I advise you too not to be a bodyguard. That life’s not for you. Someday you might have to take a bullet for your boss, which isn’t worth it. Life is only once, and dying for a stranger isn’t worthwhile. Think of your parents, your family. If you lose your life, what good is money? It’s not like they accept RMB in Yama Palace.”

“Uh!”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Wu Yue was stunned, taking a while to snap back, and awkwardly said, “You’re being humorous, Mr. Lu. Such things are rare in this world.”

Then, he turned to Xue Man and said, “Xiao Man, my friend is waiting for me upstairs, so I’ll head up first.”

Without waiting for Xue Man to respond, Wu Yue turned and left.

PS: Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you all the best in the new year!!
