The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO

"It doesn't seem as bad as you said, at least she looks pretty honest," Lin Shir said, running her fingers through her bangs that fell to her neck.

"Honest? She's nothing but a bad egg!" Lin Shi, dressed in sports attire, flashed a hint of fury in her eyes.

"A bad egg? How did she wrong you? By the way, big sis, I heard you're living together now?" Lin Shir suddenly gave a sly look towards the woman in the sports outfit.

"Drop dead! Don't goof around with me. It's easy to slip up, remember that. I've taken care of everything you need to handle in advance, you just need to sit in the office and read the newspaper, and don't you dare mess things up for me," admonished Lin Shiyan.

"Relax, big sis, it's not my first time impersonating you, I won't cause any trouble, and you better not back out of giving me a sports car for my birthday!"

As Lin Shir spoke, she played with her long bangs again, not understanding what her sister was thinking. Those bangs were always in the way, annoyingly covering her eyes, and wearing a wig on top of that was uncomfortable enough, now it was even worse.

It turned out that the Lin Shiyan they saw wasn't actually Lin Shiyan but her university-studying younger sister, Lin Shir.

Because the two sisters looked almost identical, whenever Lin Shir had no classes, Lin Shiyan would call her to Shiyan Group to act as her substitute.

This allowed her to sneak off to the gym for workouts and to pamper herself with beauty treatments.

This was the reason why Lin Shiyan, despite always sitting in an office, managed to maintain such fair skin and an impressive figure.

"Wait until you can get a driver's license on your own merit," Lin Shiyan said irritably.

Lin Shir instantly looked dejected and mumbled, "At this rate, I'll never get my driver's license in this lifetime."

"As long as you don't beat up the examiner this time, it should be pretty easy," Lin Shiyan amusingly replied.

After a few more words of caution, Lin Shiyan finally headed towards the elevator.

Once Lin Shiyan was gone, the playful smile vanished from Lin Shir's face, replaced by an icy coldness.

Indeed, as Lin Shir had declared, this was not her first time impersonating the ice queen CEO of Shiyan Group, and thus she had mastered Lin Shiyan's behaviors, movements, and even expressions to a tee.

However, as soon as she entered Lin Shiyan's office, Lin Shir completely transformed.

"Ugh, really, these clothes are so uncomfortable to wear." The moment she entered the office, Lin Shir kicked off the high heels, casually threw her jacket on the sofa, and then hopped onto her chair to play a shooting game on Lin Shiyan's computer.

Lin Shir seemed to be engrossed in a shooting game, her excitement evident as she played animatedly, yelling at the screen.

Fortunately, Lin Shiyan's office was soundproofed, or else if anyone discovered that their ice queen CEO behaved this way, her disguise would be blown.

With more than three hours left until the end of the work day, being at work always seemed to drag on, but Wang Dadong was not bored at all.

"Hey beautiful, the weather's great today, how about a cup of coffee after work?" There he was, trying to pick up girls again.

The long-haired girl glanced at Wang Dadong, realized he was a security guard, and lost interest immediately, muttering "Crazy," before walking away.

But Wang Dadong didn't mind at all and promptly moved on to chat up another girl.

"Hey, beautiful, life is so lonely, we should enjoy it while we can. Let me take you out for a meal!"

This time, the girl ignored him outright.

"Brother Wang, you're just a security guard; don't waste your effort. To those white-collars, we're no different from a watch dog; they'll never pay attention to us," Yang Jian sighed with a touch of self-pity.

Security guards were the lowest tier in that building, not only low-income but also lacking prestige, practically the most humble of all.

"Life still needs a bit of hope, right? Who knows, maybe some girl will be attracted to my strapping frame and handsome looks?" Wang Dadong responded nonchalantly.

"Sure, there might be one, but she'd have to be blind," retorted Yang Jian with a sneer. Shiyan Group and Xueyun Group were two famously competitive cosmetics companies, offering some of the highest salaries in the business.

The women working in this building would hardly consider someone like Lv Xiaoqian with the lowest income. If even Lv Xiaoqian wouldn't choose a security guard as a boyfriend, there was no chance for the city's high-and-mighty female office workers.

Wang Dadong was ambivalent to Yang Jian's comments; he didn't actually hold out hope that a beauty would give him the time of day. He was just passing the boring time.

"Holy moly, that figure is god-tier!" Wang Dadong quickly spotted an exceedingly perfect beauty and immediately wanted to invite her out to eat.

"Sure." The beauty turned around, smiling as she looked at Wang Dadong.

Once he got a clear look at her face, Wang Dadong was dumbstruck—it was none other than the CEO of Xueyun Group he had unwittingly flirted with.

"Uh, just joking, just a joke," Wang Dadong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Had he actually gone through with it, he probably would have had to kneel before Lin Shiyan's glasses once he got home.

Qin Xue gave a faint smile and walked toward the elevator in her high heels.

At this time, Yang Jian's admiration for Wang Dadong was surging like endless waves. He grew even more curious about the relationship between Wang Dadong and Qin Xue.

"Brother Wang, what exactly is your relationship with President Qin?"

"No relationship."

"Impossible."

"My lover."

"Even less possible!"

Faced with Yang Jian's relentless questioning, Wang Dadong suddenly got angry and shouted, "My girlfriend, okay?!"

As soon as Wang Dadong finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

But that guy had a thick skin as he deliberately looked around, pretending as if the words he just said weren't his.

"Shh! Brother Wang, keep it down. If someone hears that, we're both dead," Yang Jian said, clearly frightened by Wang Dadong's words. After all, Qin Xue hadn't entered the elevator yet.

Just then, Zeng Xiaozhang came over with a document in hand.

"Good day, Manager." Yang Jian hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette and stood at attention to salute. He inwardly cursed himself—smoking was strictly forbidden in the company, and now that he had been caught red-handed, Zeng Xiaozhang was definitely going to make a big deal out of it.

"Do you have any instructions, boss?" Wang Dadong said, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, not only did he not extinguish it, but he also offered one to Zeng Xiaozhang, "Here, boss, have a cigarette."

Zeng Xiaozhang's brows furrowed, ready to explode, but his expression suddenly changed, revealing a smile. He said, "Take this document and get it signed by President Lin."

He then handed over a document.

"Sure thing, boss," Wang Dadong took the document.

"This document is very important, Little Wang. You must ensure that President Lin signs it today. If it's late, I will hold you responsible," Zeng Xiaozhang warned with feigned seriousness.

"No problem, boss. Task will be completed," Wang Dadong assured.

Zeng Xiaozhang nodded and left.

"Brother Wang, you're not even asking what this is and you dare accept it?"

"Isn't it just a document?" Wang Dadong was somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Wang, you might not know, but Shiyan Group and Xueyun Group are not the owners of this building—the real owner is Jinding Company. Both Shiyan and Xueyun are renters here, and the rent is due next month. This is most likely the lease renewal contract."

"Is there a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem. The rent increases every year, and although Jinding decides by how much, if President Lin sees it's too much, she will for sure go ballistic. And that's a minor issue, what's worse is if you don't get the contract signed, Zeng Xiaozhang will give you trouble. It's against company policy to smoke, and although Zeng Xiaozhang saw you smoking and didn't stop you, it's clear he's dug a pit and is just waiting for you to fall into it," Yang Jian explained.
