Chapter 42: Your Dad Has Money
In the narrow space of the elevator, there were only Ye Shaofeng and Chang Miaoke. From the 9th floor to the 1st floor was not a long process, but in this not-so-long process, the memories of the two people being alone together followed them for their entire lives.
"Let's get acquainted," Chang Miao suddenly said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Haven't we known each other for a long time?" Ye Shaofeng said with some embarrassment.
"Let's get formally acquainted. My name is Chang Miao Ke, and the Mr. Chang you just met is my dad. I'm currently a junior at England's Duke University." Chang Miao Ke said with a smile.
Ye Shaofeng paused for a moment, calmed down his emotions, and said: "My name is Ye Shaofeng, I am the security guard of your company."
"It's not now, now you are my private bodyguard and part-time assistant."
"Assistant? Ha ha, you want me to help you with company matters?" Ye Shaofeng asked.
"I've already quit the company! Anything that happens in the company has nothing to do with me. Now, I just need to focus on my studies." Chang Miao said with a relaxed expression.
"What? Quit the company……" Ye Shaofeng was stunned, thinking that if this girl quit the company, then he would not be able to investigate their drug trafficking activities if he continued to follow her. This way, nothing could be investigated clearly.
"Oh, it's better to focus on studying, it's less troublesome." Ye Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm studying now so that I can help the company with more things in the future."
"There's a rumor going around outside that our Zhonghai Group is involved in drug trafficking?" Ye Shao Feng suddenly said out of the blue, his purpose was to probe and test Chang Miao Ke's reaction. Let's see if Chang Miao Ke really considers herself one of them now.
Chang Miao was a clever and cunning girl, although she had a good impression of Ye Shaofeng, and this impression was unstoppable. However, after all, the two people didn't have much contact time, and they didn't understand each other's identities and backgrounds.
The company's drug trafficking is a top secret, can't just casually tell others. But since Ye Shaofeng has become his bodyguard, he should completely trust this kid, suspecting people is useless, using people without suspicion.
The little girl smiled faintly and said: "Many things, you can know what you should know, but it's better for you not to hear or ask about what you shouldn't know.
Sometimes, perhaps unintentionally, some truths will be placed in front of you. What outsiders say is their business, what you think in your heart is another matter, do you understand?
Ye Shaofeng said with a knowing smile, "I don't understand, no wonder you're a college student, your words are so profound, you spoke a lot but I didn't understand a single sentence." Ye Shaofeng smiled foolishly.
Chang Miao often looked up at Ye Shao Feng's silly and honest appearance, really liking it to the extreme. Having a man with a seemingly honest exterior but a wild interior by her side made her feel very secure.
"By the way, did you kill someone yesterday?" Chang Miao Ke asked again.
"You heard everything in the room, what else are you asking? Past events, just don't think about them anymore." Ye Shaofeng evaded this.
Actually, I'm also bored, and I asked this question just for something to say.
The elevator door opened and two people walked out. Chang Miao went forward, with Ye Shao Feng following behind him.
"What are you following me for?" Chang Miao asked turning her head back.
"I'm your personal bodyguard, of course I'll go wherever you go, otherwise I won't get paid," said Ye Shaofeng.
Chang Miao Ke burst out laughing and said, "What's with the personal bodyguard? It's just a part-time assistant, no need to be stuck together. You've already been stuck once, do you think you can still eat swan meat again? How beautiful is that!" Chang Miao Ke had a hidden meaning in her words.
What she said "the first time they were intimate", was actually referring to the first time they slept together.
"What should I do?" Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Keep your phone on for 24 hours, I'll be there whenever you call me, and you must arrive in front of me within 10 minutes after I call you, got it?"
"Understood." Ye Shaofeng nodded honestly and said.
"Alright, it's settled then. You can go now, there's nothing else for you to do here."
"Oh." Ye Shaofeng nodded and returned to the security team.
Chang Miao drove out of the building in his white Audi TT, leaving a trail of dust behind. Ye Shaofeng watched through the security team's window as the TT disappeared into the distance, feeling a mix of emotions inside.
Life is like this, there are too many things that can't be done as one wishes, and there are too many people who can only be hidden in the heart, but not held in hand.
Ye Shaofeng knew his own identity, and also knew the identity of Chang Miaokui. Although he was still a university student now, he would eventually become the successor of the Zonghai Group, and would come back to re-weave a poisonous web chain that he could control, and would spare no effort to expand this web chain outward.
Ye Shaofeng himself was here to collect this web, so no matter when, as long as Chang Miao still had this poisonous web in her heart, the two of them would forever be on opposing sides. They couldn't be lovers or friends, only mortal enemies, irreconcilable foes like water and fire.
It is blissful now because both parties are not standing on opposing sides, but just walking in the direction of opposition.
Jiang Miao can focus on learning, in order to enrich his own knowledge, and use this knowledge to perfect the Zhonghai Group's underworld organization in the future.
Ye Shaofeng is now acting as her bodyguard, secretly investigating the gang's organization and gathering evidence to take them down.
Even if it's calm now, everyone has their own secrets. Even if Ye Shaofeng's true identity is still unknown to many, this secret will eventually be exposed. The day the secret is revealed will be the day of confrontation.
Confrontation is inevitable after all.
Ye Shaofeng stared out of the window, lost in thought. He really wanted to keep this moment going forever, without any national missions or underworld prospects.
Only Ye Shaofeng and Chang Miaokui, only these two individuals, two young men and women without background, without tasks, without entanglements, without distractions, then happily, go on together.
"Maple brother, what's up? Secretary Lin is looking for you to go do something. I wonder if she wants you to feed her." Peng Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Get out of here! You're always up to no good. By the way, I remember you telling me before that you wanted to open your own little restaurant, how's that going? Have you saved up enough money?" Ye Shaofeng teased.
Peng Xiaofei wanted to open a restaurant just because he loved food, liked eating, and people who like eating all like restaurants, because the dishes in restaurants are more delicious than those made at home.
"I'm just a security guard, how much money can I have? I reckon even if I save for my whole life, I won't be able to afford opening a restaurant." Peng Xiaofei said with a disappointed face.
"Why don't you go ask your dad for money? Your family is quite wealthy, right? Ask your dad to lend you some, he'll definitely agree." Wang Zheng started coming up with ideas...
