Everyone enjoyed the meal. Despite Zhao Changlong's boisterous manner, he didn't drink much.

The main problem was that no one was there to keep him company. After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. Kong Mingde decided to tell everyone what had happened that day; he couldn't hide it, so he might as well tell them himself.

"Hongmei, Shao Yulan's grandfather, Shao Qingshan, came to the school to look for me this afternoon."

He sincerely apologized to you and promised to discipline Shao Yulan properly.

Zhang Shouyi frowned. Shao Yulan was clearly a woman's name. Shao Qingshan knew that the second-in-command of the Ministry of Industry had reached retirement age at the beginning of the year, but because he had performed well and made no mistakes, he hadn't been reassigned.

"Hehe, I'm fine. She didn't hit me. It's just that the school really needs to be reformed."

"Yes, Principal Zheng knows about this too. He'll probably take action on Monday."

Those younger generations from wealthy and powerful families are becoming increasingly unambitious.

"Wife, what happened? Did they hit you? Did that Shao Yulan do it?"

"Song Zigan stopped them."

"Heh, hitting someone? What kind of manners is that? Is this how China's top university teaches? Or does it accept people of all kinds?"

Now no one spoke. Zhang Shouyi possessed an imposing presence without needing to be angry. Nobody wanted to provoke him at this moment.

"Brother Zhang, it was an accident, it was an accident, but Shao Yulan's personal conduct is indeed not very good."

Song Zigan stood up and recounted what had happened that day.

"Oh, so it's because of you?"

"sorry!"

Zhang Hongmei knew she couldn't speak to Song Zigan now, as that would only make Zhang Shouyi angrier.

"She even dared to make such harsh remarks? What's she relying on? Shao Qingshan?"

Xiao Li.

"lead!"

"Send someone to thoroughly investigate Shao Qingshan. Does he have such power? Does he think he can be so arrogant?"

"yes!"

Kong Mingde closed his eyes; he truly had no way to plead for Shao Qingshan. He prayed for the best, hoping to remain clean-cut. Perhaps the higher-ups could think it was just a junior's lack of ambition, but if Shao Qingshan really had problems, not even a miracle could save him.

This topic was quite opportune. Zhang Shouyi was the first to erupt, and the others didn't know what to say.

"Niece, you're so spineless! How dare a woman lay a hand on you?"

"Uncle Zhao, I have no fighting skills!"

"If you don't have combat skills, then train!"

"But I'm lazy!"

When everyone saw Zhang Hongmei's aggrieved look, they didn't know what to say. If they said anything too harsh, they were afraid the little girl would cry, so they decided to say nothing.

"Hongmei, three bodyguards will be coming over in a few days. They're all for you. You can arrange them yourself. They're such a worry."

"Grandpa, three? Isn't that too many?"

“Not many, one female bodyguard instructor. The remaining two are the best trainees. I was originally thinking of letting you choose one yourself. But now I think that won't work. From now on, you'll take at least two people with you when you go out. No discussion!” Gu Chuanming made the final decision, silencing Zhang Hongmei's attempt to refuse.

“Hongmei, three is really not much. I have two more over there, I’ll send them over too. You can choose one yourself, it has to be one that you like.”

"Dad, I need five bodyguards all by myself? I'll never go out again." Zhang Hongmei was genuinely scared, trembling as she imagined the glamorous scene of being surrounded by bodyguards.

"Five isn't many, but if you really don't like them, you can assign them to work for you. Just like Wang Ying. You can trust people like that; their loyalty is quite high."

"Brother Zhang, do you have anyone else for me?"

Zhang Shouyi smiled, looking at his wife's miserable face. He felt his anger from before had vanished.

"Yes, I have two here too. Grandpa, the three of us will watch their skills with you, and then we'll choose the two best to be your bodyguards. We'll leave one person to handle all your affairs. You can arrange the rest yourself."

Grandpa is right. From now on, when you go out, you should have at least two people with you, and ideally, three bodyguards.

"Brother Zhang, you don't even have this many bodyguards."

"Because I have fighting skills!"

One sentence, and the battery died instantly. Yeah, who told me to be lazy?

"Niece, are these seven people enough? Uncle Zhao has some too, how about sending over two for you to choose from?"

"Uncle Zhao, please forgive me! I'll definitely call you if I need anything in the future."

"You're just giving me the runaround! I know that kids like to be surrounded by a lot of people, even though they're not as high-ranking as you. Only you don't want this kind of ostentation."

"Uncle Zhao, there are too many people. Isn't this too much trouble?"

"Alright, remember this: our family has no shortage of bodyguards. How about I arrange two male bodyguards for you? They're both handsome young men, and their skills are definitely superior to Chengzi's."

Everyone in the living room was stunned. This was utterly reckless, defying the odds!

"Hehe, handsome young man? Am I more handsome than you?"

Everyone was stunned. They never expected their leader to say something like that. It was shameless.

“It’s different. You’re just a weak scholar, while the man in my hands is the real masculinity!”

"Wife, am I a weak scholar? Am I not masculine?"

Zhang Hongmei trembled in fright. "How could that be? In my eyes, you are the most handsome. No one can compare to you, really."

"Then I'm relieved. As long as my wife thinks I'm handsome, that's enough."

Zhang Shouyi's image in everyone's mind collapsed; he was too shameless and had no bottom line.

Song Zigan listened from the side, feeling that today had truly broadened his horizons. So this is what these big shots are like in private? I've learned something new.

Zhao Changlong looked at Zhang Hongmei with exasperation. "Niece, you're so spineless! How can you speak against your conscience? So what if the leader is prettier than a woman?"

"Uncle Zhao, please don't say that. I like him just the way he is."

Zhang Shouyi was about to lose his temper, but after hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, he was immediately calmed down.

Everyone was thinking, "What kind of pot has what kind of lid?"

"Alright, what can I say if you like it yourself?"

Gu Chuanming glared at Zhao Changlong; he was deliberately provoking Shouyi. He'd really back down soon enough.

He Chuanyong and Kong Mingde were both incredibly impressed with Zhao Changlong. How dare he say such a thing? What man could accept being compared to a woman in terms of appearance?

The two of them made the same decision: they'll treat Zhao Changlong to drinks from now on. That's awesome!

It was getting late, so the three of them said goodbye and left, agreeing to come back for drinks after the New Year when Zhang Hongmei and the others returned.

Although Zhang Shouyi was unhappy that they said they wanted to go out for the New Year, he later went to bed and discussed it with his wife.

"Hongmei, I'll go back home during the holidays to visit you."

"Sure!"

Wang Xiaoshun also escorted Song Zigan back to school.
