Chapter 19 Chapter 19

The next day, Xiayuan Building, conference room on the 16th floor.

A long table was placed in the spacious and bright room. Elites in professional attire sat on both sides. Xia Peizhi sat in the main seat, and the golden rims of his glasses flashed coldly under the light.

One person expressed his views seriously and passionately, and the others listened attentively.

At this moment, a cell phone suddenly rang. The person who was talking was stunned and stopped talking.

Who forgot to mute the phone? Could it be that after living a comfortable life for so long, I'm tempted to act like a troublemaker in front of my boss?

Everyone sitting in the seats looked at each other and shook their heads slightly to indicate that it was not their phone.

Then they saw President Xia, who was sitting in the main seat, calmly picked up his phone, took a look, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"You guys continue." He stood up with his phone in hand, gave his subordinates a look, indicating that he would continue to preside over the meeting. Then he quickly left the meeting room.

The smile on his face was like a peacock spreading its tail, impossible to hide. It was completely different from the usual Mr. Xia.

"What's wrong with Brother Xia?" You know, they have been working with Xia Peizhi for several years and have never seen him like this before.

"It's like a young couple in love!"

"Really? Can Brother Xia really tell the difference between men and women?" You have to remember that he treats everyone around him the same, regardless of gender. When he first started his business, a woman wanted to work with him and took the opportunity to hook up with him, but he fired her because she wasn't serious about her work.

It's true that men and women are treated equally, but don't even think about getting too close to him. He can't even make you suspect he's attracted to men. He's 27 years old. He started his own business in high school and has been exposed to society. At 27, he's never even touched a woman's hand, let alone a man's... He probably hasn't touched a man's either. It makes you think he's either aloof or a bitch. He's already mumbling when he's not paying attention.

"What does Narcissus mean?"

"You've done it to yourself, you don't even know that!"

"Get lost! You psycho! Shut up! Have a proper meeting!"

"What are you saying about me? Weren't you the one who was pushing me just now?"

“…”

The two who had followed Xia Peizhi since the start-up period were whispering to each other below.

Others were curious, but not brave enough, so they could only listen with their ears pricked up, hoping to hear some gossip.

"Ahem, enough, let's continue the meeting. Manager Nan, you continue." The person who was arranged by Xia Peizhi to preside over the meeting was forced to take up the responsibility. In fact, he was also eager to hear what President Xia, who had just walked out, said.

Meetings are held every day, and what remains today is nothing particularly important, but this special performance by President Xia is the first time!

.

"Ruoruo, what's wrong?" Xia Peizhi answered the phone. He had set Ruoruo's number as a special attention number when he was about to call her, but unfortunately, he had never received a call from her in almost two months. When he saw her this time, he felt flattered, but he was still a little worried before he knew the reason for her call.

Ruoruo is not the type of person who likes to interact with people. If there is nothing wrong, she will definitely not contact him on her own initiative.

"Pei Zhi, are the two bodyguards you mentioned last time still available for hire?" A soft and affectionate female voice came, like the warm sun in winter. Xia Peizhi held the phone a little tighter.

"Of course, Ruoruo, do you need anything? Can I let them go now?" Xia Peizhi had wanted to arrange two bodyguards for Ruoruo before, but she refused because she was not used to having strangers around her.

"Well, okay, thank you Pei Zhi."

Xia Peizhi walked out while asking patiently, "Did something happen?"

Ruo Ruo told Xia Peizhi that someone wanted to help her transfer to another hospital. Xia Peizhi frowned when he heard it.

Not to mention which one is better, the Fifth Hospital or a private hospital, he also knows Duan Wenbai.

Although the two had no business dealings, there were only so many businessmen in the upper class of City A, so they would meet each other a few times and know each other's situation.

Xia Peizhi only had one evaluation of him: he had good abilities, but his methods were too dirty.

Born as the only heir to a wealthy family, the Duan family did not make their fortune through legitimate business, so they have many tricks in the business world, but they are not good at dealing with people. They have their eyes on the top of their heads and never take most people seriously.

Xia Peizhi didn't expect that Ruoruo's sister could have a relationship with Duan Wenbai. He didn't know where she met her, but her methods were quite good.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet……"

After getting the answer, Xia Peizhi directly sent a message and asked Youranju to prepare the food.

This Youran Ju was originally opened by his friend. Later, when he found out that Ruoruo liked it, he took over the place.

…

When Xia Peizhi arrived at the hospital ward, Ruo Ruo was leaning against the window, looking at the sky. Today's sky was exceptionally clear and azure, dotted with white clouds, a truly beautiful sight. Little did she know that while the sky outside looked like a painting to her, the beauty she saw was also a truly beautiful painting to others.

Not long after he arrived, the bodyguard he had arranged with also arrived. He was hired from Shejing Security, the best-regarded security company in the industry.

Ruo Ruo looked at the four cool young ladies and paused for a moment. "Didn't you say two? Last time you mentioned it, I remember you said you had chosen two?"

Xia Peizhi cleared his throat and said, "Just as the manager over there said two more female bodyguards were available, so I invited them along as well."

The four bodyguards following behind looked at each other and shook their heads slightly when they heard what he said.

To be honest, female bodyguards, especially capable ones, are both rare and unpopular, much like male nurses in hospitals. To even have one, they have to be a business partner or friend of their boss. Hiring four female bodyguards at once is no easy feat. Of course, such individuals are few and far between. After all, even if a female employer needs personal protection, one or two are usually enough.

As far as they knew, this Mr. Xia had spent a considerable amount of money. Yet, when he finally came out with the casual remark, "The manager said two more female bodyguards were available," it was sheer nonsense! It was a lie! The two women who had arrived later were already booked for next year; they had only been transferred here today after a long negotiation with the manager.

And their hiring prices are higher than each other, and they can be said to be the top group of people in the industry. Hiring just one of them is really enough!

But they soon realized how much this Mr. Xia's lavish spending was worth! When Xia Peizhi moved away, the woman's figure gradually revealed, her face fully exposed, and the four of them gasped at the same time.

No wonder President Xia insisted that the manager find a female bodyguard, and the best and most professional female bodyguard. This... this... who can handle this? Even women can't handle it!

The four of them were incredibly grateful that they had been chosen today! They'd heard that this CEO, Xia, had generously hired them for a year. At first, they'd thought the year without any days off was incredibly painful, but now they just hated why they couldn't be hired for life.

They can do it for free! They can quit their jobs and become beauties directly!

"Hello~ I'll trouble you in the future!" Ruoruo stretched out her hand to shake hands with them. Her fair little hands were like the finest warm jade, making people stare at her with their eyes fixed.

The four bodyguards were friendly colleagues who had trained together, but now they had no time to show humility and stepped forward one by one.

"It's okay, we've been paid, and you may have to work harder in the beginning. If nothing unexpected happens later, you can take turns in pairs." As he said that, Xia Peizhi calmly placed a box in Ruo Ruo's palm.

"I bought a rough stone at a charity auction and made some jewelry from it. This is one of them. Would you like to take a look?"

The four bodyguards silently raised their heads in unison to look at the man, their eyes blazing with anger. Xia Pei had been their respected employer, the generous Mr. Xia, one moment, and the next, he had become synonymous with hateful, shameless, jealous, and petty-minded.

Xia Peizhi still smiled appropriately, showing no sign of guilt at all.

Ruoruo didn't seem to notice anything. She just smiled at the four new bodyguards, opened the box and took out the things inside.

It is a round, translucent, glass-like peace locket, glowing with fluorescence all over, with a few meaningful snowflake cottons floating inside, cool and elegant yet noble.

"When I first saw this material, I loved it. It was love at first sight."

Although they were talking about the material, the man only had eyes for Ruoruo. "How is it? Do you like it?" Heiyou's eyes were not obvious when they fell on the girl through the lenses.

When he first saw the material, he thought of Ruoruo and felt that the two were extremely compatible, but he still couldn't help feeling uneasy after sending it out.

And was Ruoruo looking at the sky just now? Did she like blue jade? Green jade is the most expensive, so should he go look for some green jade? Did she prefer the one with snowflake cotton or without? Did she prefer the one with full color or the one with floating flowers? Xia Peizhi carefully observed her reaction.

Ruoruo was indeed looking at the peace locket. She placed it in the palm of her hand and shook it left and right. The cotton inside was like snowflakes slowly falling in the winter sky, which was beautiful beyond words.

Although she didn't know much, she did understand a thing or two. Material as translucent as glass was already extremely rare, not to mention the wispy cotton flecks that so perfectly suited her taste. She didn't know if it would be better or worse if it weren't available, but Ruo Ruo herself had fallen in love with this peace locket because of the ethereal, flowing, snowflake-like cotton.

Seeing Ruoruo gently stroking the peace locket, Xia Peizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least it seemed that he was quite satisfied.

"That piece of raw stone can be made into another bracelet, but the position for the bracelet hasn't been drawn yet. Next time I bring it to you, Ruoruo can draw it herself, okay?"

"It's very expensive, right?" Ruo Ruo hesitated, but subconsciously she didn't feel guilty about it.

“No, it’s not expensive, it’s very cheap!”

"But I don't understand anything about this, let alone drawing a bracelet."

"It's okay, I understand. I'll teach you!" Xia Peizhi secretly made up his mind. After returning today, he would start to learn more about it! Tomorrow he would find a master to teach him!
