Chapter 213 Looking forward to your performance
The moment they stepped into the hall, Leng Yuexin and Xia Yi instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
The people sitting on the sofa had warm smiles on their faces, and their eyes showed both welcome and curiosity.
Leng Yuexin recognized Xia Yi's parents at a glance, as well as Aunt Xiang who always had a smile on her face, and her lively and lovely cousin Taotao.
As for the new faces around, Leng Yuexin guessed from their eye contact that they should be Xia Yi's relatives. They were looking at her with a look that was both friendly and curious.
Faced with this sudden "family gathering", Xia Yi was stunned at first, but then quickly regained his composure and politely greeted every elder present.
Then, with a hint of curiosity and nervousness, he asked his parents: "Dad, Mom, didn't we agree to have a dinner at Auntie's house? Why did we suddenly change to celebrating at home?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yi's mother smiled gently and was about to explain the reason behind this.
But Tao Tao, the clever little ghost, interrupted him: "Brother Yi, you are really good at hiding things! You have such a great girlfriend but you hide her from us! No wonder you didn't take me to the charity dinner tonight, it turns out you were meeting your beautiful lady in private!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle and interesting.
Xia Yi waved his hands quickly and explained helplessly: "Don't get me wrong, Xinxin really came to help me solve some problems, it's not what you think."
Although Xia Yi tried his best to clarify, there was still ridicule and disbelief in the eyes of his relatives and friends. They obviously had their own interpretation of this "friend" relationship.
Leng Yuexin felt this subtle atmosphere. She quietly pulled Xia Yi's sleeve and conveyed the tacit message of "It's time to retreat" with her eyes.
Xia Yi understood what he meant and immediately announced to everyone: "It's really getting late. I have to take care of sending Xinxin home. Everyone go to bed early and we will have a good reunion another day."
After saying that, he took Leng Yuexin's hand, and they walked out of the Xia family's gate side by side.
The night was as dark as ink, dotted with stars, adding a touch of romance to their departure.
Under the headlights in front of the car, Xia Yi gently let go of Leng Yuexin's hand, with a hint of apology on his face: "Sorry, the situation was urgent just now, and I didn't pay attention to so much."
Leng Yuexin smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."
However, there was a cunning light in her eyes, and she had obviously seen through Xia Yi's "little trick" that was inadvertently revealed.
The car stopped steadily in front of the Wen family's door. Under the moonlight, Xia Yi's eyes revealed a barely perceptible reluctance.
Leng Yuexin felt mixed emotions, she knew very well that cracking the computer was not only a technological breakthrough, but also a signal that Xia Yi was about to step into the brink of danger again.
However, she chose to use calmness and gentleness to cover up her inner turmoil, and asked softly: "What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind?"
Xia Yi shook his head gently, looked at Leng Yuexin affectionately, and said slowly: "Nothing, just some emotion. You should go back and rest, there are still many things to do tomorrow."
Leng Yuexin nodded, but the worry in her heart did not dissipate.
Before getting off the car, she couldn't help but remind him again: "Xia Yi, no matter where you are or what decision you make, remember to protect yourself. If you have any difficulties, please tell me, and I will do my best to help you."
Xia Yi's heart was deeply touched. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I will. Thank you!"
As the car door closed gently, Leng Yuexin turned around and walked into the house.
Back in the room, she adjusted her mood, began to look up information, and prepared to carry out the next plan.
After the morning meeting at the computer company, Leng Yuexin tidied up her desk and prepared to go to the security company.
At this time, Shen Mingyuan came over briskly, with a smile on his face: "Xiao Xinxin, are you in a hurry to leave so early? Do you have any new plans?"
Leng Yuexin looked up and gave a warm smile in return: "Yes, I plan to go to the security company for a visit."
Shen Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He half-jokingly pulled her arm and said, "Take me with you. My 'apprentices' are now able to stand on their own, and I should find some new challenges. Maybe I can even be a capable assistant to you."
Leng Yuexin thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, more people means more strength, so let's go together."
After arriving at the security company, the two unexpectedly met Zuo Yuan who was looking for a bodyguard.
Zuo Yuan examined the recommended candidates one by one, but none of them caught his eye.
At this moment, his eyes accidentally fell on Leng Yuexin, and his eyes lit up instantly: "It's you!"
Leng Yuexin was a little surprised. She tapped herself lightly with her finger and confirmed, "Me? Become your bodyguard?"
Zuo Yuan smiled and nodded, his tone was firm and unquestionable: "Yes, it's you. I believe in your ability."
Leng Yuexin maintained a professional attitude and responded politely but firmly: "Thank you very much for Mr. Zuo's recognition, but I am not a professional bodyguard. I am afraid I cannot provide the professional service you expect. Please understand."
Zuo Yuan didn't care. He put down a contract and smiled confidently: "The contract is ready. All the details are included. If the result does not satisfy me, the penalty will naturally have its deterrent effect."
Leng Yuexin looked at the head of the security company who was standing aside with his head down and remained silent, and she understood a little bit more.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at Zuo Yuan, and said calmly: "Okay, I accept it. But please understand, Mr. Zuo, I am not a professional bodyguard. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
Zuo Yuan raised his lips even more when he heard this, and he was obviously quite satisfied with her attitude: "Very good, you can prepare well today and report to my house on time tomorrow. I look forward to your performance."
After saying this, he left with his group in a leisurely manner, leaving the room full of surprise and curiosity.
Upon seeing this, the person in charge stepped forward quickly, his expression full of apology: "Sister Xin... I really didn't expect it to be like this... I'm sorry..."
Leng Yuexin gently patted the person in charge on the shoulder, indicating that he should not blame himself too much.
"Bring the contract here, I want to see it." There was no blame in her tone, only acceptance of the current situation.
The person in charge quickly took the contract from the table and handed it over with both hands.
Leng Yuexin took the contract and reviewed it carefully.
As she expected, the terms offered by Zuo Yuan in the contract were extremely attractive and gave him the privilege of choosing bodyguards from within the company.
For the company, this contract is indeed a cooperation opportunity that is difficult to refuse easily.
After reviewing it, Leng Yuexin handed the contract back to the person in charge with a smile, and said easily: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. You continue to do your work well and keep the team stable and efficient."
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, "But..." He hesitated to speak, obviously still feeling guilty about his previous decision.
