Chapter 004: The Dashing Lady

Book:Alternative Bodyguard Published:2024-5-28

“Who will harm me? Who have you seen go out with a bodyguard? I know what you’re worried about. You hire bodyguards, and you’re the president of the group, even if someone wants to do something, it’s you, not me. I’m just a subsidiary manager. Besides, I’m a girl. What’s going on with a man all day?” Emma Li once again looked at Carl Ye and said.
“The brighter the sun, the darker the shadow. We cannot be malicious, but we must be defensive. If we do not care about anything, it will be late until the day of the real accident.”
“Do you think bodyguards are only seen in TV movies? Do you think the person behind Uncle Zhang is really a driver? That’s a bodyguard. Uncle Zhang was kidnapped before and almost died. The rest, you have seen those big company bosses, and they all have the bodyguard behind.”
“I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, and I do not ask for bodyguards. I believe no one dares to do anything to me, but, I cannot take your life as a bet. The people who hurt me also know I am an old fogy, even if they kill me I will not compromise with these evil forces, but I have a weakness, this weakness is you, so they will deal with you as a bargaining chip.”
“I received it a few days ago. You will see for yourself that I am not aiming at nothing. Emma, you said that you didn’t want to get married and fall in love. I don’t care. You insisted on studying abroad at that time, and I agreed. You said you wanted to be independent, and wanted to live alone, did not live with me. I also agreed, but this time it is me.”
“From now on, Carl is your bodyguard and your driver, and he has to be there for twenty-four hours, no matter where you are, except when you take a bath and go to the bathroom. When you go to work, add him an office outside your office, and all the people who come in must pass him first. In addition, arrange a room for him in your house. He lives downstairs and you live upstairs. I warn you do not get rid of the Carl for any reason, otherwise I will be really angry.” Wilson Li suddenly said very angrily.
“Dad, are you serious? He lives with me? Your daughter is a single woman, and you get a man to live with me in a house? You’re not afraid ….” Emma Li stared widely and asked.
“Afraid of what? I tell you, the reason why I can walk from a rice seller to today is not how smart I am, not how business-minded I am, but relying on my eyes. I have never judged it wrongly all my life. Carl is an upright and trustworthy person. I can use my life to guarantee, and he will never do anything to you.”
“Well, I don’t want to talk anymore. Do you want the $3 million project funds that your company has submitted? If you do, accept my arrangement. I will sign it for you. If you don’t, leave now. I’ve never seen this $3 million application for project funding. It is up to your decision.” Wilson Li finally said.
“Dad, how could you? Business is business, and private affair is private affair. How can you mix them up?” Emma Li was very angry.
“The whole group is mine. For me, the group’s business is family business, and family business is business. I don’t want to talk to you anymore, so do you agree Carl to be your bodyguard?” Wilson Li waved a hand to say.
“Well, Dad, you’re so hard, and you’re forcing me. I agree. But one day if your daughter is really raped, you will regret it. Remember, tomorrow I want that $3 million to be in my company account.” Emma Li said and left angrily.
Seeing Emma Li leave, Wilson Li suddenly laughed. He smiled very slyly, and then he said to Carl Ye, “this girl has a strong character like me. She won’t compromise without giving her some killer. She’ll rely on you later. You can call me anytime. Here’s my card.”
“Yes, President Li.” Carl Ye nodded, and then walked out of Wilson Li’s office.
Carl Ye quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Emma Li, and he did not say too much to her. He knew that the dashing lady did not have too much affection for him. It’s not for smoke. Even because Wilson Li forced her to arrange him as a bodyguard, out of the person’s instinctive feelings, she will also hate him. Carl Ye will not be boring to please Emma Li, he also cannot do this kind of some servile things. He followed Emma Li slowly, about a meter or two away, unhurriedly.
“Can you not follow me?” Emma Li looked back angrily at Carl Ye.
“It’s my job. You can talk to your father if you’re not satisfied.” Carl Ye said faintly.
“I ask you, how much does my father pay you?” Emma Li looked at Carl Ye and asked.
“$80, 000 one year.” Carl Ye answered faintly.
All right, I’ll give you another $80, 000, as long as you sleep at home every day. Don’t follow me and don’t show up in front of me, OK?” Emma Li took out a card and handed it to Carl Ye.
Carl Ye looked at Emma Li’s card, and smiled coldly, and then said, “I promised your father I would protect you, so it’s not about money. In addition, do not take money out to instruct others, and human dignity is not measurable with money. Put your card away. Now, you can do whatever you want. Don’t worry, I know a bodyguard’s most basic professional ethics. I am just responsible for protecting you, and the rest of what you have done or said is nothing to me. I will not say a word with anyone about you. Go.”
Seeing Carl Ye’s cold eyes, Emma Li felt a chill in her heart for no reason. Then she put the card back in her bag angrily and walked into the elevator without looking at Carl Ye again.
