The Personal Bodyguard of the School Belle

"Sir, who are you looking for?" After taking just a few steps, Lin Yi was stopped by the building's security guard.

"Just wait a moment, let me check," Lin Yi thought to himself. He mused that things were indeed more formal in big cities, even with security guards present. However, he considered this guard to be merely a figurehead, not as capable as Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi was one of Lin Yi's childhood friends. Though he didn't know martial arts, his punch could kill a bull. In Lin Yi's eyes, this guard was far inferior to a bull in terms of strength.

Lin Yi pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, glanced at the name written on it, and said, "I'm looking for Chu Pengzhan."

"Chu Pengzhan? Who is he? Why does this name sound so familiar?" The guard paused, repeating the name silently in his mind.

"The chairman!" A slightly older guard standing nearby reacted quickly, immediately recognizing who Chu Pengzhan was. He was startled and quickly tugged at the younger guard's sleeve, whispering, "Don't say anything rash. If the captain hears you, you might get fired!"

"Ah!" The younger guard, upon hearing the older guard's words, was suddenly terrified. He regretted his earlier impulsive remarks. How could he have been so chatty when he didn't even know who the chairman was? What kind of security guard was he if he didn't even recognize the chairman?

However, the guard looked at Lin Yi's casual attire and his eyes darted around. He no longer felt afraid. Lin Yi didn't seem like someone who would have any connection to the chairman. One was the chairman of a world-renowned large group, while the other was a migrant worker from the countryside—there seemed to be no connection between them.

This young man must be from some construction site, coming to complain to the chairman, the guard thought. This reminded him of a movie he had seen recently called *He Owes Me Ten Thousand Five Hundred*, where a worker went to the chairman demanding money.

Thinking about this, the guard exchanged a glance with the older guard. Apparently, they both had the same idea.

"What do you want with Chairman Chu?" The older guard cleared his throat and stared seriously at Lin Yi, fearing he might take extreme actions.

"It's not me looking for him; my old man sent me to find him." Lin Yi said lazily. He didn't care about the identity of his employer in real life; they were all just people asking for his help.

"Huh? Your old man?" Hearing Lin Yi's words, the two guards became even more convinced. In the movie, the worker was seeking money for his brother, and this young man must be doing the same for his father.

"Well, stop wasting time. Just tell me which floor Chu Pengzhan is on, and I'll go find him!" Lin Yi didn't want to waste time arguing with these two minor guards. It was better to meet the main person directly.

"The chairman isn't here. Go away..." The older guard carefully examined Lin Yi again, confirming that he definitely had no connection to the chairman, and directly issued an order to leave.

Lin Yi didn't bother to argue with them anymore. He noticed their looks and could guess what they were thinking. They judged him based on his simple appearance—how arrogant!

"If he's not here, then I'll just wait for him inside!" Lin Yi said, and strode toward the company entrance.

"Wait! You can't go in!" The two guards didn't expect Lin Yi to dare force his way in and hurriedly tried to stop him.

At this moment, the elevator door on the first floor opened, and a somewhat stout middle-aged man and a leaner, darker-skinned middle-aged man stepped out.

"Calculating the time, it should be about now. Why hasn't Little Yi contacted me yet? Li Fu, why don't you drive to the station to pick him up? Haven't you already seen his photo?" The stout middle-aged man instructed the other man.

"Yes, Mr. Chen. I'll go right away," Li Fu respectfully replied.

Before Li Fu could move, Chu Pengzhan heard the commotion near the company entrance and frowned. He told Li Fu, "Go check what's happening."

"What's going on?" Li Fu quickly walked towards the company entrance and saw the two guards preventing a young man from entering.

"Uncle Fu, this person says he wants to see the chairman and tried to forcefully enter the company..." The guards naturally recognized Li Fu. Although Li Fu didn't have a specific administrative position in the company, he was the closest person to the chairman. If pressed to describe his role, one could only say he was Chairman Chu's driver.

But everyone in the company knew that Li Fu was more than just a driver. Therefore, the guards treated him with respect, like a leader.

In many cases, Li Fu's words represented the chairman's intentions.

"You... Are you Lin Yi?" Li Fu looked at Lin Yi, widened his eyes, and asked surprisingly.

"Yes, it's me." Lin Yi glanced at Li Fu and nodded. Since Li Fu appeared, Lin Yi had been paying attention to him. By instinct, Lin Yi knew this person wasn't Chu Pengzhan. As the chairman of a major group, one naturally exuded an aura of authority, but this person lacked such an air. Although serious and respected, a person's true demeanor couldn't be changed.

"Hello!" Knowing how much Chairman Chu valued the young man before him, once Li Fu confirmed Lin Yi's identity, he didn't dare to neglect him. He extended his hand to shake hands with Lin Yi: "I'm Li Fu, the chairman's secretary. The chairman sent me to the train station to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to already be here!"

"No problem, consider it a chance to familiarize myself with the place," Lin Yi smiled and shook hands with Li Fu. Lin Yi's personality was such that if you respected him, he would respect you back. Seeing Li Fu's politeness, Lin Yi actually felt a bit awkward.

"The chairman is over there. Please follow me. Let's go see him together." Li Fu gestured politely and walked ahead to lead the way.

The two guards stood there dumbfounded, staring at Lin Yi's retreating back with wide-open mouths.

"Is he really the chairman's guest?" The younger guard whispered in disbelief.

"If Uncle Fu personally came to greet him, there can be no mistake!" The older guard sighed. "We almost offended him. Fortunately, Uncle Fu arrived in time. If we had really driven him away, we'd be in serious trouble!"

When Li Fu approached, Lin Yi began to pay attention to another stout middle-aged man nearby. If his guess was correct, this was the person he wanted to meet: Chu Pengzhan, the chairman of Pengzhan Group.

"Lin Yi, right?" While Lin Yi followed Li Fu, Chu Pengzhan also walked over quickly, extending his hand warmly.
