It was early in the morning, the employees had already gone to sleep, and the supermarket was almost dead quiet.
Only Ye Zhou couldn't sleep. Five hours had passed since he pressed the hire button, but the hired bodyguard had not shown up.
With something on his mind, Ye Zhou couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
He carried a bunch of snacks and a tablet, took a folding stool, and ran to the entrance of the supermarket to sit down.
If the bodyguards he hired had not arrived by daybreak, he would go back to the lounge and sleep.
The stars are shining tonight and the moon is covered by dark clouds, which seems to indicate that it will rain tomorrow.
But one rain cannot moisten the thirsty land, and based on Ye Zhou's observation, these dark clouds should dissipate tomorrow morning.
Ye Zhou was playing the stand-alone version of Plants vs. Zombies, with Coke, potato chips, and a few bags of spicy strips beside him. He looked up at the front from time to time.
Time passed slowly, Ye Zhou yawned continuously, and at three o'clock in the morning, he could not hold on any longer.
His upper and lower eyelids were like lovers reunited after a long separation, and he wished they could stick together all the time.
Just as Ye Zhou was about to carry his things back, a bright light suddenly flashed across the sky.
The light only lasted for a moment, illuminating the night sky in that instant, and then quickly disappeared, and the sky darkened again.
Ye Zhou stood up with some excitement.
He was still a little worried that the people he hired were not Chinese and might not speak Chinese.
And the biggest problem is that he knows no Japanese or Korean, and can only speak English for daily conversations - the rest is left to the teacher.
To be precise, he gave up after taking the CET-4. After all, he would get a degree certificate if he passed it. He also had already established his ambition to open a supermarket, so he did not feel the need to learn English well.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have forgotten it so quickly.
Ye Zhou walked down the steps quickly. As soon as he stood on the ground, he heard some movement coming from the woods. The dry grass was moved, making a rustling sound.
He looked towards the distance with shining eyes.
As the footsteps got closer, the man's figure came into Ye Zhou's sight.
Just like in the photo, the man had a pair of dark eyes, and his double eyelids made his eyebrows look very deep.
His eyebrows are thick but not coarse, his nose is straight, and his lips are thin, but not so thin that they make people think he is heartless.
His hair was very short and easy to manage, but it didn't make him look dull. Instead, Ye Zhou felt that he had a somewhat unruly temperament, like a black panther ready to pounce, agile and powerful, able to kill its prey at any time.
The man was dressed in black, a black jacket, black trousers, and had a black heavy machine gun on his back.
He had a pistol on his waist.
He's like a moving fortress.
Ye Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter - bring your own weapon! He saved money!
This bodyguard is worth hiring!
"Zou..." Just as Ye Zhou was about to call out the other person's name, he saw someone walking out from behind the man.
Ye Zhou: “!!!”
He remembered that he hired two adult men!
A girl walked out from behind the man. She was wearing a black puffy skirt, a black gauze ornament on her head, and lace with intricate patterns on the hem of her skirt.
Although Ye Zhou was not an expert on fashion, he thought the girl's outfit was from the Middle Ages and he had no idea that this style was called Lolita.
She doesn't look Asian at all.
She also has light blonde curly hair and red eyes.
Ye Zhou: “…”
He remembered that this girl was the vampire who was surprisingly cheap at only three thousand!
Four hundred and twenty-year-old "little girl".
But he obviously didn't hire her! The other person he hired was not only Asian, but also a man with fists as big as sandbags and a burly figure like a mountain. He chose people based on their body types. One was sturdy and the other was burly. One of them was always reliable.
"Sarah?" Ye Zhou looked at the girl walking towards him.
The girl nodded, pointed to her earrings, and said in a sweet childish voice, "I have a translator."
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. If he had known about the existence of a translator, he wouldn't have to worry about language problems.
"Wait." Ye Zhou frowned. Although he knew that the girl was over 400 years old and definitely not a little girl who needed to be taken care of, he still couldn't frown at her. He could only ask with a helpless expression: "Why did you come? I didn't invite you!"
Sarah shook her head, looking like she knew nothing about it: "That's your business. I received the contract and came here after signing it."
Ye Zhou wanted to say something else, but Sarah said, "Don't look down on me. My salary is low not because I am incompetent, but because no one wants to hire me! You all like to judge people by their appearance. You think I am still a child just by looking at my face. I can beat a hundred people like you."
Ye Zhou: "...You don't need me to give you an example."
"That's not the problem!" Ye Zhou reacted, "You are a vampire! Sister! Ancestor! What do you usually eat?!"
Sarah waved her hands. "I'm not picky. Human blood is the best. If human blood is not available, cow blood is second, and then chicken blood. I don't really like drinking pig blood, but if it's not available, pig blood is acceptable."
"If you don't prepare it for me, just give me an advance on your salary." Sarah, "I'll buy it myself."
Vampires... so down to earth.
Ye Zhou looked at the man behind Sarah. He didn't need him to introduce himself. Ye Zhou knew his name very well, and even knew his hobbies and specialties - although they were only contained in his personal profile.
"Zou Ming?" Ye Zhou stretched out his hand towards the other party.
Zou Ming nodded to Ye Zhou and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party was not difficult to get along with.
Although one is an employer and the other is an employee, it is better to get along well with each other than to meet like enemies.
"I have prepared a room for you. Originally, there were two men... so I only prepared one room." Ye Zhou looked at Sarah again.
Sarah was horrified: "I don't live with a man!"
Zou Ming didn't react. He was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Is there a tent?"
Ye Zhou: "If you don't mind, you can sleep in the same room with me. My lounge is quite big and can accommodate another single bed."
Zou Ming had no objection, and neither did Sarah.
The room given to Sarah was the security room at the entrance of the supermarket, but it had been carefully cleaned and maintained by Cao'er's mother, so it was spotless and very clean. The bedding had also been changed, and another bed had been set up.
Ye Zhou did not ask about the two's backgrounds and abilities.
Although the resume is not very detailed, the two bodyguards just arrived at night and they should need rest.
Even if you don't need to rest, you still need to adjust to the jet lag.
Leave any questions for tomorrow.
After seeing the security room, Sarah made a request: "Can you make me a coffin? I don't have high requirements, a wooden one will do, and an iron coffin would be even better."
She was very satisfied with the security room, which was small and clean.
For vampires, the room doesn't need to be big. Even if they live in a castle, they will lie in a coffin anyway.
Ye Zhou: "I'll check the system. If I can't buy a coffin, I can only make a wooden coffin for you."
Sarah smiled at Ye Zhou and said, "Can you make the coffin thicker?"
She acted coquettishly in a very natural way, and her little girl appearance smoothed out all of Ye Zhou's dissatisfaction.
Ye Zhou even began to doubt himself now. He was wondering who he had hired and whether he had made a mistake. If it was his problem, he really shouldn't have taken his anger out on this "little girl".
So Ye Zhou also smiled: "I'll try my best. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"
“No need.” Zou Ming had already folded the single bed. With quick movements, he took off his coat and put it on his shoulders. Under the coat was a black tights that allowed for easy movement. It fitted tightly to his body, outlining the muscles of his arms, chest and abdomen.
Ye Zhou couldn't help but look at Zou Ming's arm.
Zou Ming has a very strong body. His muscles are not gained by taking drugs, and he is not pursuing the largest possible size.
It is the human limit that can be achieved through pure exercise. There is not a single piece of excess muscle or fat on the body, just right.
His fist is not as big as a sandbag, but I guess few people can withstand one of his punches.
It would be a lie for Ye Zhou to say he wasn't envious of such a figure.
But he also knew that it would be impossible to have such a figure by just willpower.
Ye Zhou was in the best shape when he was in high school. At that time, he played basketball besides attending classes. When he took off his clothes, his six tight abdominal muscles were visible. Every time he played basketball, girls would bring him water and towels, making him enjoy the treatment of the male lead in an idol drama.
He also made many female friends because of this.
But after we went to college, our relationship became distant and we rarely got together.
When he was in high school, he was busy playing games and basketball. He had no idea about falling in love too early, nor did he have the time to do so.
When he went to university, he was struggling for his dream and was extremely stingy with himself, let alone falling in love.
Until he graduated from university, Ye Zhou had no idea of falling in love. At that time, all his energy was focused on running the supermarket, and he believed that love was the enemy of career.
One of his female friends broke up with her boyfriend of six years because it was difficult to find a job after graduation and she was under a lot of pressure.
Now that he is here, he has even less thoughts in this regard.
But looking at Zou Ming, he still had a little "body crisis".
It seems that I can’t stay in the lounge like a stay-at-home every day. I still need to exercise properly.
Otherwise, when danger comes, he won't be able to run fast.
Zou Ming also realized that Ye Zhou's eyes were on him. He raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou was caught red-handed and said somewhat embarrassedly: "You have a good figure."
Zou Ming nodded slightly, not looking angry, but asked calmly: "Do you want to touch it?"
The corner of Ye Zhou's mouth twitched: "...That's not necessary."
He was originally worried that the employee might have a bad personality.
Now it seems that the other person's personality is not bad, it's just that he is a little too good.
Zou Ming nodded. He lifted the folded single bed with one hand and said to Ye Zhou, "Lead the way."
Ye Zhou then left the security room and walked towards the lounge.
