Looking back, childhood memories were the most wonderful.
Now, everything had changed beyond recognition.
Knock, knock, knock. The door of the hospital ward was knocked.
"Come in." Bo Jingyu pulled his thoughts back and said with a straight face.
"Second Master, this is today's invitation list."
Qian Li rushed to deliver the document after finishing his work at the company.
He took it. There was the latest poster on it.
Juan Yi & A Hai Rui.
Bo Jingyu could tell at a glance that this poster was designed by Su Minghan. He had to admit that the man had a talent for advertising design.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run Su's Entertainment so successfully.
He flipped through it briefly. Besides the well - known figures in Yancheng, there was an additional invitee.
Shen Shiyu.
For such a high - end cooperation event, in principle, a small company like the Shen family's wouldn't have been invited.
Bo Jingyu thought for a while and instructed cautiously, "Strengthen the security."
"General Manager Su has already given orders to the special police team. We don't need to..."
Qian Li was halfway through his words when he was stared at by Bo Jingyu's cold look. A cold sweat broke out on his back. "Sorry, Second Master. I spoke out of turn. I'll strengthen it."
"How's the installation of the real - time locators going?"
"I've asked Young Master Su to make them into invitation cards. Each card has a real - time locator. I'll send you the surveillance video of Second Madam as soon as I arrive at the venue."
Bo Jingyu pretended to be cold. "Who said I wanted hers? I want those of everyone on - site. Minghan is looking forward to this cooperation event. I don't want anything to go wrong there."
"… Yes, Second Master."
"You go to the company to deal with Grandpa. Report any news immediately."
Qian Li nodded and quickly left.
While waiting for the elevator, he looked around to make sure there was no one else, then immediately took out his phone and typed a bunch of words in the chat interface.
Ruo Chi's phone kept buzzing.
He was sipping coffee, grinning from ear to ear.
"Our Second Master is really stubborn. If he likes someone, he should just admit it. Why does he have to hide it?"
"Who does he like?"
Shen Ximan suddenly appeared, scaring him so much that he almost dropped his cup.
"S - Second Madam..."
Seeing his guilty look, Shen Ximan folded her arms and joked, "Are you secretly in love, boy?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Ding, ding.
Just then, Ruo Chi's phone on the tea table started buzzing again, non - stop.
The smile on Shen Ximan's face grew wider. She nodded in the direction of the phone. "Hurry up and reply to them. Don't make them angry."
"I'm really not in love, Second Madam! That's Qia..."
Halfway through his words, he quickly changed his story. "The boss of the cake shop I went to a few days ago sent me a message, asking when I'm going to deliver Third Miss's cake."
"Oh~ I see~"
She squinted her almond eyes, finding it quite interesting.
Ruo Chi blushed and looked embarrassed. "Please stop teasing me, Second Madam. I've been in the eastern suburbs for a month. I'm going crazy."
"Can you talk to Second Master? Ask him to transfer me to another position. If this goes on, my skills will get rusty."
Shen Ximan rolled her eyes playfully. "How about you go to the cooperation event with me tomorrow night? Bo Jingyu should have told you that his leg is injured and he has to stay in the hospital. I'll go on his behalf."
His eyes lit up with excitement. "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
Ruo Chi quickly stepped forward and bowed to show his gratitude. "You're so kind, Second Madam! I swear I'll protect you well!"
Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Shen Ximan waved her hand with a smile. "You're overreacting. During the period when you protected An Ruo, I should be the one thanking you. You've worked hard."
"Second Madam..." His eyes were slightly red, as if he was about to cry.
"Stop! Now take me to the city to pick up a formal dress. I also need to make an appointment with a hairstylist and a makeup artist. I'm afraid there won't be enough time."
Ruo Chi scurried after her and drove away.
On the second floor of the eastern suburbs villa at this moment, An Ruo was standing by the window contentedly, watching the car disappearing in the distance.
"It's the first time I've seen Sister so happy."
She became more determined in her thought.
Brother and Sister were such a perfect match. They had to be together!
In Yancheng's high - end business building.
"Look at that woman. She's so tacky."
"Shopping in our building in cheap jeans? Is she out of her mind?"
As soon as Shen Ximan and Ruo Chi entered, none of the shopping assistants came forward to greet them. Instead, they gathered together and whispered insults.
"These ignorant people never shut up!"
Ruo Chi wanted to step forward and give them a warning.
"Don't be in a hurry. There's no need to bother with them."
Shen Ximan grabbed his arm and stopped his impulsive advance.
"But Second Madam, they're really going too far!"
Ruo Chi despised people who judged others just by their appearance.
She pointed to the back. "It's okay. Let's go inside and take a look."
The shopping assistants watched their backs and sneered.
"Acting like a rich madam. And bringing a sissy as a bodyguard."
Ruo Chi's fists tightened immediately.
He turned around and shouted, "Who are you calling a sissy?"
"Oh no, we've offended someone. Let's go."
The women immediately scattered and pretended nothing had happened.
Ruo Chi was so angry that he huffed. Although he looked thin, he was actually well - built under his clothes!
Shen Ximan gave him a calm look. Suddenly, she understood why Bo Jingyu had assigned him to guard An Ruo in the eastern suburbs. His self - control was too weak. He was easily influenced by others. In this regard, Qian Li was indeed better than him.
"Sorry, Second Madam. I've caused you trouble."
Ruo Chi hung his head and admitted his mistake, feeling angry and helpless. But this was actually one of his merits. He could take responsibility and let go.
"Thank you for standing up for me. I've been wanting to yell at them for a long time!"
He happily raised his head and smiled again.
"Hello, ma'am. Are you looking for a formal dress?"
A timid girl walked over and asked in a soft voice.
Shen Ximan looked at her name tag. It said "Intern Shopping Assistant".
"Yes. Do you have any recommendations?"
"This way, please."
She nodded and walked into this physical store called Lan Bomei.
Ruo Chi was about to stop her, but his out - stretched hand froze in mid - air and then retracted.
This store was on Second Master's blacklist.
Moreover, it was a niche brand under Juan Yi's subsidiary. No madam had ever been seen wearing their clothes. If the quality of the formal dress was passable, it might receive a few compliments.
Otherwise... It would become a laughingstock and would also really slap Juan Yi in the face, criticizing their company for its poor quality control.
Who would deliberately wear a flawed formal dress to disrupt a cooperation event? It was just asking for scolding.
