Since the goal is to choose a personal bodyguard for my daughter, I naturally need to thoroughly investigate the bodyguard's background.

Both Xiaohong and Xiaolan's families were helped up by Shengjing Heng.

They were arguably the most loyal family under Shengjing Heng.

Only by having them act as bodyguards for Sheng Yueqing can the family feel at ease.

Sheng Yueqing thanked them for their kindness. Her business was growing bigger and bigger, and she really needed bodyguards to protect her. Otherwise, she would suffer a huge loss if she were robbed or kidnapped.

In the past, small shops and stores, even if there was competition, never reached the point of fighting and killing each other.

But as the business grew, the methods of competition became more complex, so Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan were brought along.

Mrs. Sheng continued to hold her arm affectionately, "You're here to discuss business, aren't you? I know some people, I'll introduce you to them later?"

Sheng Yueqing didn't object, "Okay. But we should only talk to people when they need something, not just buy things from me to give you face."

If you do business with her just because of Mrs. Sheng's face, then Mrs. Sheng will have to do you a favor.

She felt it was unnecessary.

Those who need it can then buy and sell from others, thus mutually benefiting each other.

It's not worth it to do favors for such a small amount of money.

Mrs. Sheng thought she was incredibly insightful and loved her more and more the more she looked at her.

"Don't worry, Mom won't make things difficult for you. I'll just introduce you to some people. As for business, you can handle it yourself. Mom won't cause you any trouble."

Sheng Yueqing was touched by her thoughtfulness, but also felt sorry for her.

"You came out by yourself? Where is Mr. Sheng?"

Mrs. Sheng glanced behind her and clicked her tongue, "He went to park the car. I don't know why he's been parked for so long. He probably went to talk to whoever he saw."

Just then, we noticed that Mr. Sheng had arrived late.

They brought two bouquets of flowers with them when they came.

One red and one pink.

"Girl, old woman."

Mrs. Sheng playfully scolded him, "Why are you so late? We were just bullied."

Mr. Sheng glared at them, "Who bullied you?"

He turned around and was about to go find someone to settle the score.

Mrs. Sheng pulled her along, "The person has run away. His surname is Huang, and he also sells wedding candy. He actually called our Qingqing a vixen. I'm so angry."

Mr. Sheng was also angry, "Your surname is Huang, right? Fine."

He'll teach them a lesson and show them why camellias are so red!

Sheng Yueqing laughed, "Ignore them. We messed up their banquet today, so we have to go and apologize to them."

Even if we can't do business with Mr. Wu from the wool sweater factory, we can't disrupt his banquet.

She needs to apologize to them.

Mrs. Sheng took her hand and said, "Mom will go with you."

Mr. Sheng stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."

A family of three should be complete and together.

Upon arriving at Boss Wu's living room, Sheng Yueqing carried a large bag of gifts over, saying, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you today."

As he spoke, he handed Mr. Wu a large red envelope.

Mr. Wu scoffed, "Do you know how much money I spent on this banquet today? You think you can just send me away with a red envelope?"

Mr. Sheng's face turned cold.

Step forward.

Mr. Wu was startled, thinking he was about to hit someone, and stammered, "W-what do you want to do?"

Mr. Sheng is tall and strong, and he can be quite intimidating when he has a fierce expression.

Especially since he has been in a high position for many years, his aura is still very imposing.

Mr. Wu clearly wanted to extort money from Sheng Yueqing, but under pressure from Mr. Sheng, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Just as Sheng Yueqing was about to say something, Mr. Sheng spoke up.

"Since I've ruined your banquet, I'll play along."

"Three days from now, the third floor of Yang Garden Restaurant, I've booked it all. You can invite all your guests there, and I'll cover all the food and drinks."

Mr. Huang opened his mouth wide.

"The third floor of the Yanghuayuan Restaurant?"

My God, that's the most expensive restaurant in Shanghai.

Even if he earns a lot of money this year, he still can't bear to hold a banquet there.

You should know that hosting a banquet at Yang Garden Restaurant costs nearly ten thousand yuan.

Even rich people shouldn't waste money like this.

He only spends a couple thousand yuan on food and drinks at home, which is a huge difference from ten thousand yuan.

No one knows what kind of background this man has, but he managed to book the entire Yang Garden Restaurant in one go.

"Sir, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Could it be that he skipped out on the bill after being invited over?

Mr. Sheng snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised to compensate you."

"Go ahead and come in three days. I'll be there too, and I won't make you pay."

"If you don't believe me, then you don't have to."

Mr. Huang panicked, "No. Let's go to Yang Garden Restaurant. I'll bring the guests there in three days."

If he could invite those wealthy people over, he would gain face.

It will be easier to find a marriage partner for my son then.

Mr. Huang was in a great mood.

He hurriedly offered Mr. Sheng a cigar.

"May I ask your surname, sir? I've never seen you in Shanghai before?"

Mr. Sheng doesn't smoke. He put his hand behind his back and said aloofly, "I'm from Kyoto. I can't reveal anything else."

With that, he said goodbye and prepared to take his wife and daughter back home.

Mr. Wu smiled and saw them out.

Mrs. Wu asked curiously, "What are their backgrounds? How do they have access to the Wallet Restaurant?"

Those are restaurants that only the wealthiest people can afford. These small and medium-sized business owners don't have that kind of wealth, so they can't bear to spend so much money to hold banquets at restaurants.

They were all organized by the family.

Mr. Wu's eyes were shrewd. "He must have some powerful connections, otherwise he wouldn't have such an imposing presence."

"And look at what they're wearing. Although it's simple, it's all designer brands. That man's watch is a high-end custom-made one. I saw it on a wealthy person before, and I heard it costs tens of thousands."

A single watch can cost tens of thousands, not to mention the others.

Madam Wu asked in surprise, "If they are really that rich, why do they need Sheng Yueqing to come out and show her face to earn money?"

Mr. Huang lit a cigar. "Who knows? Maybe it's about raising children."

Or perhaps they're putting on a brave face.

Regardless of the method, he'd be lucky to win a day's banquet.

On the way back, Mr. Sheng drove.

Smiling, I gave them the flowers.

"Qingqing, the pink roses are for you, and the red roses are for your mother. Do you like them?"

This was the first time Sheng Yueqing had received flowers, and fresh ones at that. She took a sniff and exclaimed, "They smell so good!"

In her past life, she and He Yushen were both poor and couldn't bear to buy these material possessions.

He Yushen did want to buy it for her, but he had given her all his money and didn't have a single penny left in his pocket, so he really didn't have any money to buy it for her.

The only time I picked it for her was by the roadside.

Unexpectedly, the first bouquet of flowers came from someone who might be her father.

She smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Mr. Sheng immediately smiled, his lips curving upwards, and his fierce face softened a bit.

"I'm glad you like it. Dad will buy you another one next time."

Sheng Yueqing felt a warmth in her heart. So this is what it feels like to be loved by her father?

It's unbelievable how heartwarming it feels to be loved by your father.

Mrs. Sheng hugged her and said, "Mom caused you trouble today, but your father promised to compensate them with a banquet for a day. Mom will go with you and introduce you to some other people."
