Chapter 1 Quick Transmigration! Going Bankrupt Overnight and Becoming the Young Master’s Bodyguard (10)
I followed him closely, in silence. When we got to the garage, I opened the door for him and waited for him to get in before I went around to the other side and got in.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat depressing. I secretly observed Shen Haoxuan. He had a blank expression on his face, staring out the window, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
After arriving at the company, I followed him closely. The employees in the company looked at me with strange eyes and whispered to each other. Their eyes were full of curiosity, inquiry, and even a hint of hostility. I could feel that they were wary of me, a personal bodyguard who suddenly appeared.
At noon, I went to the staff canteen alone. As soon as I sat down, I felt a few unfriendly eyes on me. I looked up and saw a few bodyguards sitting not far away. They were eating and whispering about something, and from time to time they cast meaningful glances at me.
I ate in silence, trying to ignore them. After finishing my meal, I was about to leave when one of the bodyguards came over and blocked my way. "New here, what's your name?" He asked arrogantly, with a hint of provocation.
I looked at him calmly, "Feng Ziang."
"Feng Ziang?" He repeated my name, a sneer on his face, "I advise you to stay within your means and don't dream of reaching the sky overnight."
I ignored him and walked around him and left the restaurant. When I returned to the office, I found Shen Haoxuan was on the phone. His tone was very serious, and he seemed to be talking about something important.
I stood quietly by the side, waiting for him to end the call. After hanging up the phone, he looked up at me, his eyes deep and complicated. "Feng Ziang," he said slowly, "Do you know that your current situation is very dangerous?" Shen Haoxuan's words made my heart tense. Of course, I knew that my situation was dangerous. A wealthy family like the Shen family has complicated internal struggles. As a newly arrived bodyguard, I can easily become a target of attack.
"I know, Mr. Shen." I said firmly, "but I will not back down."
He looked at me deeply and said nothing more. In the next few days, I worked harder to adapt to the new working environment. I carefully learned the rules of the Shen family, understood Shen Haoxuan's daily habits, and worked hard to make myself a qualified personal bodyguard.
During the day, I followed Shen Haoxuan closely to protect his safety. At night, I stayed in the company, familiarized myself with the terrain of Shen's house, and learned various self-defense skills. I devoted almost all my time to work, hoping to gain Shen Haoxuan's trust as soon as possible.
My efforts were not in vain. Although Shen Haoxuan was still cold on the surface, I could feel that his attitude towards me had changed. He would occasionally take the initiative to talk to me, ask for my opinions, and even care about my life.
This change made me feel relieved and strengthened my determination. I knew that I had to work harder to protect him and maintain this hard-earned trust.
However, the internal struggle within the Shen family was far more complicated than I had imagined.
One afternoon, Shen Haoxuan went out for a meeting, and I was arranged to stay in the villa on standby. A bodyguard who looked very experienced, named Zhao, took the initiative to come over and talk to me. He looked very kind, talked to me about the history of the Shen family, and also gave me some directions in the villa.
"Young man, work hard. Mr. Shen is a good man. You won't go wrong following him." Bodyguard Zhao patted my shoulder and said earnestly.
I thanked him and humbly asked him some questions. He answered them one by one with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Later, I was notified that I needed to go to the storage room on the west side of the villa to pick up a document. I was about to leave when bodyguard Zhao stopped me.
"West side? That road is not easy to walk on. It goes around and around and it's easy to get lost. Go east side, through the garden, past the swimming pool, and you'll be there." He pointed in another direction.
Although I felt a little strange, I still believed him and walked in the direction he pointed. However, after walking for a long time, I still couldn't find the storage room. The garden is very large and the paths are complicated. The more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in my heart.
I took out my phone to check the floor plan of the villa, but found that the battery was dead. I patted my head in frustration, realizing that I might have been tricked by bodyguard Zhao. He deliberately gave me the wrong directions, wanting me to go around in circles in the villa and embarrass myself.
A surge of anger surged in my heart, but I quickly calmed down. I took a deep breath and forced myself to think calmly. Since Bodyguard Zhao wanted me to get lost, I would not get lost. I began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, looking for any clues that could help me identify the direction.
The architectural style of the villa is very unique, and each area has different characteristics. I tried to recall the path I had taken before and what Bodyguard Zhao had said to me, trying to piece together a complete route map.
Time passed by, and I became more and more anxious. Just when I was about to give up, I suddenly noticed a tree in the distance. The tree had a strange shape, and I remembered that bodyguard Zhao had mentioned it.
I was delighted and immediately walked towards the tree. Sure enough, not long after, I saw the sign for the storage room.
I opened the door, walked in, and found the documents I needed. When I walked out with the documents, bodyguard Zhao was standing at the door, looking at me in surprise...
The surprise on his face was gone in an instant, replaced by a barely perceptible viciousness. "Oh, you're quite smart and you haven't been fooled." He said in a sarcastic tone with a hint of sarcasm.
I looked at him calmly, said nothing, and walked right past him. I knew that my behavior made him uncomfortable, but the more angry he got, the happier I felt. I was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by anyone.
After returning to Shen Haoxuan, I handed him the document. He took it, flipped through a few pages, then looked up and asked me, "Why did you take so long?"
I briefly explained it and didn't mention the fact that bodyguard Zhao had deliberately misled me. Shen Haoxuan frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't ask any more questions.
At dinner time, I followed the other bodyguards to the restaurant. The long dining table was filled with rich dishes, and the aroma was fragrant. I walked to my seat and sat down, but found that my meal was gone.
I looked around and saw that the other bodyguards were enjoying themselves, and no one noticed my predicament. I knew in my heart that they did this on purpose to intimidate me.
My stomach growled and I felt hungry. I gritted my teeth, endured the discomfort, and left the restaurant silently. I didn't want anyone to see my gluttony, and I didn't want Shen Haoxuan to know that I was excluded.
