Chapter 157 Living Up to the Trust
Although it was just a one-inch ID photo, it couldn't hide the shock that this face brought him.
Chen Jingyang considers himself someone who has seen many handsome men, and Zhang Pengfei goes without saying; he himself is also considered one of the most handsome men. But what can I say about the person in the photo?
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be alluring and seductive!
Chen Jingyang never imagined that one day he would use such words to describe a man.
Moreover, the age seems too...
He looked up at Manager Liu, his question tinged with skepticism: "Are you sure you didn't give me the wrong information? This kid... is he really 24 years old?"
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't help but think that this person was a minor!
"Oh!" Manager Liu explained with a smile, "Don't worry, his age is absolutely genuine. He just looks young, with a baby face, but his skills are top-notch, more than enough to protect Mr. Zhang."
Chen Jingyang still didn't think it would work. He smacked his lips and shook his head: "Are there any other candidates? Can we change it to someone else?"
Do you have any concerns?
I can't quite put my finger on what I'm worried about, but I just feel like this person is unreliable.
Manager Liu seemed to know what Chen Jingyang was thinking and said, "Don't be fooled by his appearance. He's an S-class here."
Chen Jingyang suddenly raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
He knew that Blade International had a system of ranking personnel, from E-level to S-level, and that each level required rigorous assessment before promotion.
Is this child actually an S-rank?
He had heard a little about the S-class members of Blade International, who seemed to have all carried out extremely dangerous rescue missions. There were rumors that Shang Feng, the owner of Blade International, was one of the few S-class members.
Out of a hundred employees, you might not even find one S-level employee!
He couldn't help but look at the file of this person named Du Mingxuan again, only to realize that he had been so focused on his face that he hadn't noticed that, apart from his age, gender, and expertise, everything else in his file, such as his background, origin, and the missions he had carried out, was classified!
Chen Jingyang looked at Manager Liu with a questioning gaze: Is this normal? This so-called file is just a bunch of fluff!
In response, Manager Liu calmly explained, "All S-level files are like this, because they've carried out certain sensitive missions, so..."
Chen Jingyang let out a slight sigh and asked again, "But, protecting Zhang Pengfei doesn't seem to require an S-class officer, does it?"
Manager Liu's expression finally crumbled, and he gave an unnatural smile: "This... is our boss's idea, because Du Mingxuan..."
Manager Liu scratched his head, unsure whether he was unclear or just didn't want to explain to outsiders, and said vaguely, "In short, our boss sent him to carry out this task. It's an internal matter for us. You can just agree or disagree."
Seeing that Chen Jingyang was still a little hesitant, he added, "Don't worry, we'll still charge you according to Level D. Here's the price list."
Chen Jingyang took it. The price list included personnel hiring costs, food and lodging costs, equipment costs, etc., which came to nearly 300,000 yuan a month.
"Can I meet this Du Mingxuan?"
“Of course.” Manager Liu readily agreed. “Please wait a moment, I’ll call him over right now.”
He spoke into the walkie-talkie in his collar: "Mingxuan, come to conference room 201, the client wants to see you."
A lazy "hmm" came from the other end.
A dozen seconds later, Du Mingxuan pushed the door open and came in.
He's very tall; Chen Jingyang estimated him to be at least 185 cm.
It was only March, yet he was already wearing a military green short-sleeved physical training shirt. His chest muscles were quite thick, making the shirt bulge out.
The muscles on his arms were like small hills, and the hem of his shirt was tucked into the military green belt around his waist, revealing his inverted triangle physique. Below the belt were combat pants that matched his short-sleeved shirt, and he wore Type 21 combat boots. If you didn't look at his face, he would definitely be a strong and healthy soldier!
Du Mingxuan didn't sit down either, but stood relaxed next to Manager Liu with his hands in his pockets, looking down at Chen Jingyang.
This pose, paired with his beautiful face, is very alluring, rebellious, and arrogant!
Chen Jingyang narrowed his eyes slightly, calmly raised his head to meet his gaze, and then chuckled as he turned his head away.
Four or five years ago, he would have definitely stood up and compared his height with Du Mingxuan, but now, he suddenly realized how childish that was!
"Mingxuan!" Manager Liu whispered a reminder, "Quickly greet them!"
Du Mingxuan then withdrew his oppressive aura from Jian Ruliu and extended his right hand in a cold and formal manner: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Du Mingxuan."
Surprisingly, Du Mingxuan's voice was very magnetic, and it was much more composed than his appearance.
Chen Jingyang was certain almost the instant Du Mingxuan uttered the sound: Du Mingxuan was indeed an S-class!
A person may be able to fake their demeanor, but they can never fake that special kind of aura, just like a timid and cowardly person who, no matter how many times they shout "kill," can't muster any murderous intent.
He stood up, reached out and shook hands, his demeanor unwavering: "Chen Jingyang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Du Mingxuan sized up Chen Jingyang thoroughly, a smirk playing on his lips, and released his grip: "Young Master Chen, I've long heard of your reputation. Meeting you today, I can see you are indeed a man of great stature and bearing. The rumors are not unfounded."
Chen Jingyang smiled and said, "You flatter me."
Du Mingxuan suddenly spread his arms loosely, as if going through security, his face beaming with a bright smile, openly teasing Chen Jingyang: "So, Young Master Chen, are you satisfied with me?"
Chen Jingyang curled the corners of his lips, scrutinized him, and said calmly, "What aspect are you asking about? If it's physique, then it's acceptable. If it's looks, then I'm sorry, he's not my type. As for the rest..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop...!" Du Mingxuan's expression changed in an instant. Like a child throwing a tantrum because he didn't get candy, he pouted and frowned as he smiled, "Young Master Chen, you really don't give me any face at all!"
From his arrogant provocation when he first entered, to his deep and aloof demeanor when shaking hands, and now to his shameless and unreasonable behavior, this Du Mingxuan is even more versatile than Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations!
Chen Jingyang was unsure which side of Du Mingxuan was truly the real one.
If what he just did wasn't something he was deliberately putting on, then he's most likely mentally ill!
Fortunately, Manager Liu interjected at the right moment: "Mr. Chen, Mingxuan was just joking with you. He has a somewhat eccentric personality, but he's easy to get along with. I'm sure he will live up to your expectations."
Escape? This looks like a drop tower!
However, given Zhang Pengfei's personality, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to complete the task of providing 24-hour protection without being detected by him.
Chen Jingyang didn't say anything more, readily signed the contract, and paid the money.
At that moment, he had no idea that in the near future, he, Du Mingxuan, and Shang Feng would become close friends.
Having resolved Zhang Pengfei's personal safety issue, Chen Jingyang returned to the company in high spirits.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the office, he saw Li Jianren sitting at his workstation, hands in his pockets, legs crossed, waiting for him leisurely.
