Lu Shen said, "What if something really happens to you like this?"
But behind his back, he secretly told his secretary, "Go and find me the best bodyguards."
At first, the secretary was repeatedly turned away and was not easy to find until she met Bai Shaofan, the makeup artist who did Jian Ruoxi's makeup last time.
Bai Shaofan recognized the secretary and rolled down the car window to ask him, "What are you doing here?"
Following the clues, the secretary arrived at Bai Shaofan's apartment building in an attempt to find the top-notch bodyguard team. However, this was a high-end residential area, and ordinary people couldn't just enter.
"Mr. Bai, my boss asked me to find a bodyguard, and a top-notch one at that, but the other party's whereabouts are unpredictable, so it's not easy to find one," the secretary replied humbly.
After all, Bai Shaofan's qualifications speak for themselves; even directors in the entertainment industry would have to show him respect.
However, ever since Bai Shaofan did Jian Ruoxi's makeup last time, Jian Ruoxi and Bai Shaofan have developed a sense of mutual appreciation. Neither of them came from a poor background and both worked their way up to where they are today, so Bai Shaofan has a good impression of Jian Ruoxi.
“I’ve heard of Gu Hao, the top bodyguard. He’s in my neighborhood. Get in the car, I’ll take you in,” Bai Shaofan said.
After entering the residential area, Bai Chaofan and his secretary followed the clues and investigated.
The secretary asked him, "Brother Bai, do you know where the bodyguards live?"
Bai Shaofan said mysteriously, "There are all sorts of rumors flying around in this neighborhood. Finding out this kind of thing is a piece of cake."
"Besides, who can live in this community without some ability? After a while, everyone will know who lives where."
Walking deeper into the residential area, turn left and go to the second building from the end. The secretary looked at the short building and asked Bai Shaofan, "Why is this building different from the others? It looks dilapidated."
Bai Shaofan said, "You'll know once you go inside."
Upon entering the building, the secretary discovered a hidden world inside. Each door led to a different entrance; some connected to fire escapes, others to the basement, and still others to other doors. These doors were exquisitely decorated, but completely empty.
The secretary asked Bai Shaofan, "Why does this building look so strange?"
"Don't you understand yet? This is specifically for bodyguards. If danger occurs, the bodyguards will bring the host here. Even if an assassin comes, they will get lost here." Bai Shaofan chuckled.
At the same time, he led his secretary to the door of room 888 and told him, "This is Gu Hao's room."
The secretary was a little scared, so Bai Shaofan went in with him.
"Hello Mr. Gu, I received instructions from President Lu to invite you to be Jian Ruoxi's bodyguard. You don't need to worry about the cost; the Lu family will cover your travel and accommodation expenses."
Gu Hao brought them two glasses of water. "I've been a bit busy lately. When are you coming over?"
"It would be best if it were today, because Jian Ruoxi went to the countryside for filming while pregnant, and President Lu is very worried about her safety, so he would like to ask you to protect her secretly," the secretary explained.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Hao readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll turn down everything else."
The mission went very smoothly. Gu Hao secretly followed Jian Ruoxi all the way to the filming location, which was near the forest of the Grand Canyon.
Because it was a Hollywood production, the majority of the cast were foreign actors, and most of them had different opinions about Chinese actors.
They all thought Chinese actors were very delicate, stopping filming at the slightest inconvenience and demanding that directors cater to their every whim. Plus, the Chinese market was quite large.
Therefore, Chinese actors have a large fan base, which means that even if they don't have much talent, they can still gain popularity after their debut.
Therefore, Hollywood actors deliberately distanced themselves from Jian Ruoxi.
When Jian Ruoxi had a question about the script, she stepped forward and asked, "Hello, I would like to ask how this part should be understood in detail."
But when she approached the Hollywood actors, they gave her a very unpleasant look and immediately turned away.
Jian Ruoxi had no choice but to take the script and look for other people again, but the other people were even more rude. They didn't even look at her, pretended not to hear her, and left.
Some even directly mocked Jian Ruoxi's accent.
"What kind of English are you speaking? I can't understand a word you're saying."
"Your English accent is too strong. If you want to get into Hollywood, you don't even need to study properly."
The martial arts instructor, seeing that Jian Ruoxi was pregnant, dared not teach her casually, fearing that Jian Ruoxi might miscarry if he wasn't careful, and then he would be blamed.
When it was time to film, Jian Ruoxi was acting opposite her co-star. Her co-star angrily told her her lines, but because of the language barrier and the fact that it wasn't her native language, Jian Ruoxi's understanding of the lines was a bit off.
What was shown was nothing like what was written in the script, resulting in many laughable situations during filming and drawing ridicule from others.
"How did he act? With this kind of talent, he can still come to Hollywood."
"That's why people say Chinese actors lack talent."
Since no one provided her with martial arts instruction, Jian Ruoxi had to come to the film set alone at night to study martial arts moves on her own. She downloaded some online tutorials and began to figure out how the other person performed the moves.
However, she didn't feel it was hard work; she only felt sorry for the baby in her belly.
After all, she had come all this way to the middle of nowhere. Not only were the Hollywood crew members rude to her, but she also found the white people's food very unpalatable; she was already suffering from morning sickness, and there was no fresh fruit available.
The chef did not prepare any Chinese dishes specifically for Jian Ruoxi's tastes just because she was Asian.
Therefore, Jian Ruoxi felt very hungry, and she felt that the child had suffered because of her.
Gu Hao, who was observing from the shadows, couldn't bear to watch any longer. Even if she studied these video tutorials a hundred times, it wouldn't compare to a martial arts instructor's on-site guidance once.
So he emerged from the darkness.
This startled Jian Ruoxi. She reached for the knife in her pocket and demanded, "Who are you?"
The sudden appearance of unfamiliar Asian faces on a Hollywood film set is bound to raise suspicions.
"I'm Gu Hao, Lu Shen's bodyguard. I can show you our chat history." Gu Hao dispelled her concerns.
Jian Ruoxi was relieved. As expected of a top-notch bodyguard, under Gu Hao's personal guidance, she had a different experience with these martial arts moves.
The next day, when filming the action sequences, Jian Ruoxi's professionalism amazed everyone. Not only were her movements fluid and graceful, but she also subtly revealed a murderous aura in an instant.
This made the director look at her with new respect: "It seems she's not a complete fool after all."
He immediately told the editor, "Give her more scenes, more action scenes, and some more emotional scenes."
