School Genius Bodyguard

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Forty Thousand Monthly Salary



"You..." Su Manman, as the president of Yunhai Group, was always known as the Iceberg Queen in Zhonghai and wasn't accustomed to such mocking attitudes from men. She became somewhat angry and decided to reveal her identity as the company's big boss. Thus, she frowned slightly and exclaimed angrily, "Hmph, how dare you speak to me like this? Do you know who I am?"

"I do. You're Su Meimei's sister, right?"

Ugh, this animal! Su Manman instantly felt a headache and shook her head helplessly, not wanting to entangle further with this guy. So she changed the subject, "Alright, let's talk business. Our Su Family runs a company, and we are quite prestigious in Zhonghai. You see, you seem to have good skills and I've heard you're from the Ancient Martial Sect. How about this—I'll hire you as Meimei's bodyguard, offering a monthly salary of thirty thousand. Is that enough?"

"Thirty thousand?" Li Fei's mouth gaped open, almost large enough to fit a big pear.

What did a thirty thousand monthly salary represent? A three followed by four zeros, plus two more after the decimal point. My God, that's six zeros in total! Such an astronomical figure! Even Master Iron Crutch Li's junkyard wasn't worth that much!

"What? Too little?"

"Uh, no, that's not what I mean..."

Of course, a thirty thousand monthly salary, even among the gold-collar workers at Zhonghai Group, was considered a high salary. Thirty thousand a month, that added up to three hundred and sixty thousand a year. If he really had that much money, he would really need to think about where to go for fun! First off, he'd treat his master to a big feast to curb the craving, then go for a full Thai massage. Yes, bring two chicks, one for his master and one for himself—one a sweet nurse and the other a pretty flight attendant. Hehe, now that was one tempting idea with uniforms!

Should he go for the nurse or the flight attendant? Li Fei suddenly struggled to decide. Should he choose someone more beautiful or someone more educated? If this question was posed to Iron Crutch Li, he'd definitely choose someone with a higher bust! Hehe, always so vulgar!

However, seeing Li Fei not definitively accepting the offer, Su Manman thought her price was not high enough and after a moment of consideration, she gritted her teeth and added, "Okay, I get your point. How about this, another ten thousand, would that work?"

My God, a forty thousand monthly salary, that's about the same as the monthly salary of the president of the United States! You know, Miss Su's last personal bodyguard, Hua, only had a monthly salary of seven thousand, and he was from special forces. Now this guy, straight up nearly six times higher! Of course, you get what you pay for. This guy could kick someone up into a tree, clearly his kung fu was exceptional. Besides, with the Su Family worth tens of billions, a mere forty thousand a month really wasn't significant at all.

Li Fei was absolutely thrilled, haha, he was rich now! Forty thousand bucks! From now on, he would live the life of a rich man—buying two servings of soy milk in the morning, drinking one and pouring the other away, buying cigarettes in double packs, smoking one and tossing one out!

Despite his inner ecstasy, Li Fei's face remained calm and collected.

Su Manman, seeing that Li Fei had yet to give a definite answer, quickly got emotional and sternly demanded, "Well, can you do it or not? Are you in or out?"

"In or out?" Li Fei suddenly sensed an alternate meaning and cheekily replied, "Well, yes, I'm in. How long do you want me to be in for?"

Su Manman also caught the ambiguous undertone in Li Fei's words, and her face cooled down drastically, almost frosted, as she glared fiercely at Li Fei with a hostile look in her eyes.

Li Fei felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and stammered in explanation, "No, no misunderstanding, please. I mean, how long does your sister want me to stay on?"

Su Manman's expression turned even more impressive; if previously there was just frost, now there was snow!

If looks could kill, then Su Manman's poisonous stare would have slayed Li Fei countless times!

Thus, Li Fei slapped his palm hard against his own mouth, cursing internally about his inability to speak properly.

Hastily retracting those somewhat evil thoughts, Li Fei cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I mean, this bodyguard job, how long do you plan to keep me for?"

"We would like you to stay..." Su Manman suddenly felt her own words had an evil tinge, quickly corrected herself, "We will keep you as long as you show good performance!"

"'Performance' later on?" Li Fei began drifting off again.

"Ahem!" Su Manman's cheeks turned bright red, then, unsurprisingly, once again with a murderous glare, killed Li Fei a second time.

Su Meimei then stepped forward, "Sister, I don't want a bodyguard, nor do I want a man following me all the time. I can take care of myself!"

"No way!" Su Manman replied seriously, "As the heiress of Yunhai Group, how is it possible not to have a bodyguard by your side? Besides, if it weren't for Li Fei's help today, you might have been chewed up by the bad wolves with nothing left of you!"

"Well, okay, but can't you find a more handsome bodyguard for me? You know I've always liked the 'Si Mi Da' type, the long-legged oppa. If not, at least someone with a six-pack like Hua, right? Look at this guy, small arms and legs, a gust of wind could blow him away. He can't even protect himself, let alone me."

"My judgement is always right; you should trust your sister. He is capable of protecting you!"

"But isn't that too expensive? Forty thousand a month, that's even more than my monthly allowance!"

"Oh, Meimei, our Yunhai Group will never be short of money. Listen to your sister, forty thousand it is."

Just then, Iron Crutch Li hobbled over with his crutch from a distance, catching something about thirty or forty thousand, he quickly pulled Li Fei aside and whispered, "How much money did that chick exactly steal from us?"

"Damn, her pocket money is more than your entire fortune, why would she need to steal your money?"

"So why are they giving you forty thousand?" Iron Crutch Li suddenly remembered something and realized with a shock, "Could it be that my boy is being kept? Wanting to be a gigolo?"

"Screw being a gigolo!" Li Fei showed no respect for his master, kicking the old guy in public, "Can't I just be a personal bodyguard?"

"Hehe, like master, like student! My boy, you've come this far, thanks to me, your brilliant master training you from behind the scenes! Ahem, Master's getting old. From now on, it's up to you to carry forward our Missile Sect... Er, wait, let me double-check again, if you're not pulling my leg here. With those tiny arms and legs of yours, earning forty thousand a month, I really can't believe it..."

"Don't believe it then!" Li Fei snorted through his nose, feeling a rush of glorious achievement from his underdog comeback!

Thus, Iron Crutch Li shamelessly made his way over to Su Manman and struck up a conversation, "So, you're really giving him forty thousand?"

"And you are?" Su Manman asked.

"Ahem, I'm his master, all his kung fu comes from me!" While saying that, the old man rolled up his sleeves to show off his not-so-impressive arms, bragging, "Our Missile Sect comes from an Ancient Martial Family, every one of us possesses exceptional skills, healthy looks, and great value for money, ahem. Are you still looking for a personal bodyguard? I'll work for only ten thousand a month..."
