In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Ling Ran agreed. "It would definitely be better if we could get permission from the higher-ups! I want to find out more about this person. If they are all our people, I want to recruit them. If they weren't in such a difficult situation, they wouldn't be living like this."
Zhou Xiang laughed, "Don't you want to break all his bones?"
"I was furious at the time, but later I regained my composure and recalled that he didn't kill me. When he fought me, he only hit me where I had the most muscle."
Zhou wanted to express his dissatisfaction, "But my muscles hurt too."
Ling Ran immediately changed the target of his protection, "I'll stay again tonight and give you a massage. When that guy is better, you beat him up, specifically hitting his acupuncture points."
Zhou Xiang raised his hand to touch his face, "You! You still can't bear to leave the team. Even if you complete the task of the captain, you should not retreat."
Ling Ran's big hand covered her small hand. "No, I will definitely retire. Now I have found a better job, which is a bodyguard company. I helped too few people before. After what happened today, I think I should open the bodyguard company in major cities across the country to provide a home for those who have nowhere to go after retirement."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiang smiled brightly. "Okay! I said I'll support you and you support them. You should expand the bodyguard company well. If the money is not enough, you can even sell one of your courtyard houses. Do something meaningful and do something that is true to your conscience."
"Hmm!" Ling Ran didn't object. If he really reached the point of desperation, selling the courtyard house would be fine. However, he didn't believe his bodyguard company would reach that point. There were too many second-generation officials and rich people in the future. It would be so impressive to have bodyguards!
As long as the trend is formed among the second generation, bodyguards may not be enough!
"Well, I'm going upstairs to call the teacher."
"Go!"
Professor Chu was very happy when he received Zhou Xiang's call. He was also concerned about the student's situation at home. He learned from his superiors that the student had done some work for the development of his hometown as soon as he returned home, and he was very proud.
Zhou wanted to first care about her teacher's health. The teacher had been single all his life and had dedicated his youth and energy to the country. She was very worried about his later years.
Professor Chu answered the students' greetings one by one. "Alright! If you're busy, call me. It's not just to check on me. If you have anything, just tell me. I'll definitely help you if I can."
Zhou Xiang told Ling Ran about the attack he had suffered today, as well as Ling Ran's bodyguard company and his idea of expanding the company.
Professor Chu was very worried when he heard that a student had been attacked in a small place. "Zhou Xiang, are you okay?"
"It's okay! You know I'm very strong, and that person has let go."
"I'm glad you're okay! Tell Xiao Ling to follow you everywhere."
"Yeah! He's scared too, and he'll stick to me like a dog-skin plaster."
Professor Chu laughed. "Okay! I will report Xiao Ling's case to the higher-ups and ask them to provide him with a formal license. Once he gets the license, I will have people clean up the internet. If they encounter the same people, I will ask them to contact Xiao Ling's company."
Xiao Ling's idea is very good! Not only does it take care of his teammates, but it also helps the country resolve some regrets. The country is not strong enough to compensate them for their losses.
"Teacher! I believe they will understand. Ling Ran and I will do our best to help them. I also plan to set up a foundation in Ling Ran's bodyguard company to help those who have returned home but are facing major difficulties in life. Everything in the foundation is for these lovely people."
"Okay, okay! I will also report your idea. You and Xiao Ling are both good people. You have made great contributions to the country and the people."
Faced with the teacher's sincere praise, Zhou Xiang felt a little bitter. She had selfish motives. She did all this just to protect her family.
She took advantage of the teacher and the teacher's care to convey her own value. She was not purely kind-hearted.
"Thank you, teacher! We will do our best."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang sat in silence.
Ling Ran had already come up. He hugged her from behind and said, "Don't overthink it. Although you have selfish motives, you and I are indeed doing a great thing that benefits the country and the people."
"I just feel ashamed of my teacher."
Ling Ran raised his head and touched her head. "Silly! The teacher must understand too. He helped you carry the dried fruit up to pave the way for you."
"When the teacher retires, I want to take him home to live with me."
"Okay! We can afford it. At worst, we can just find a few more people to take care of them."
Zhou Xiang turned around and buried her face in his arms. She became more and more worried.
The two hugged each other quietly until they heard a loud noise downstairs, then they went downstairs together.
In the big bunk bed, Ma Shasha had already woken up and was crying, making a fuss and kicking the door.
Zhou's father, mother and Zhou Yu were all frowning as they looked at the door, fearing that it would be kicked in and broken.
Zhou Xiang said coldly, "Ma Shasha, do you still want to be knocked unconscious by me?"
The room immediately became quiet.
Zhou Xiang continued, "Just stay here and I'll ask your grandfather to pick you up."
"No!" Ma Shasha was frightened. Her grandfather had warned her not to hold a grudge against Zhou Xiang anymore. She was not convinced and learned from her cousin that Zhou Xiang's boyfriend was a member of a special team and the team leader had a lot of special medicines. So she blamed Zhou Xiang for her sore throat.
Zhou Xiang sneered, "It's not up to you. This matter has become a big deal. It's not something you and I can settle privately."
Ma Shasha didn't believe it. "How did it get so big? Let me go back, and I won't hold a grudge against you anymore. If I meet you again in the future, I'll pretend I don't know you."
"It's too late. How did this matter become so serious? You can't imagine it with your limited brain capacity. I doubt it. With your current IQ, how could you have ranked among the top students in the fourth grade? Did you cheat? Or did your good teacher leak the test questions to you?"
Ma Shasha was furious, "You're talking nonsense, these are real results."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. It's useless to argue with a fool. Okay, just be quiet. If you don't, I'll knock you out. You should learn from the comrade next to you."
The room was quiet for a while when Ma Shasha shouted again: "I need to go to the toilet."
Zhou wanted to open the door, but Ma Shasha looked at her raised hand and didn't dare to run away because her neck still hurt!
She obediently followed Zhou Xiang's instructions and went to the bathroom. Looking at everything in the bathroom, she suddenly regretted it. The Zhou family was not an ordinary rural family. Everything in this bathroom was no different from what you would find in an ordinary family in Shencheng.
What's more, the hall we just passed by only had a long dining table, and Western-style dining tables are rectangular.
She knew she was scared. She shouldn't have used her brain and shouldn't have ignored her grandfather's advice.
After going to the toilet obediently, she washed her hands and said to Zhou Xiang: "Zhou Xiang, can you please not lock me up? I won't run away."
Zhou wanted to ridicule her, "Do you think you still have any credibility with me?"
