Meng Fan had never thought of refusing this beauty's request. The company had just started and the only thing that was lacking was the customer. Moreover, the customer was obviously introduced by Liu Yu. No matter what, he had to give her some face.
The beautiful woman saw that Meng Fan had agreed to her request, but her expression did not change. Instead, she continued with a cold expression, "Since you agree! Then we'd better sign an agreement. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Liu Xu, you can call me CEO Liu! "
"There's no problem with the agreement!" But Boss Liu, since I have already agreed to it, you should at least give me some details on the scope of my duties and my salary! " Since this was a business, Meng Fan was somewhat enlightened. The operation of the Soaring Dragon Security Company only lacked large amounts of funds and personnel. In the face of his first employer, there was nothing for him to hide.
"Protect me for one month! The salary was fifty thousand! After that, our company will sign a formal cooperation agreement with you to be responsible for the security of our company. The condition for that is that you all have so much to say! " As Liu Xu said this, she looked around. This made Meng Fan feel somewhat embarrassed.
Meng Fan knew the situation in his own company. Not to mention the others, the only employees that entered the job were all the security guards of Liu Yu's company, and he was pretty much the only one himself. Although the office space didn't look right, but with such a large security company, without even a front desk reception, it was normal for Liu Xu to mind.
"Don't worry about that!" I look forward to our follow-up cooperation! " As Meng Fan spoke, Liu Xu pulled out an agreement from her bag and read it carefully. After no objections were made, Meng Fan officially signed his name.
"Now you are my bodyguard! No one here is a problem, right? " Liu Xu put away the agreement and calmly stared at Meng Fan like a piece of ten thousand year old ice. The expression on her face, ever since she had walked in here, had never changed.
"No problem!" Someone will be back soon. Don't worry about that! " However, what Liu Xu said was a bit embarrassing for Meng Fan. For a company that only had one person, no matter how one looked at it, it was still a bit embarrassing. Then, he walked out of the company first. He didn't want Liu Xu to find out that he was really the only one in the company.
Liu Xu did not say anything as she brought Meng Fan to the underground parking lot. She tossed the car keys to Meng Fan and sat down in the passenger seat. After entering the address on the navigation system, she did not say a single word.
Although Meng Fan had never been a professional bodyguard before, he had done part-time bodyguards before. Thus, he did not feel disgusted by Liu Xu's actions. After all, in this day and age, money was still an important part of one's life. Not to mention serving a beautiful woman, so Meng Fan was more than willing to help.
On the way, Meng Fan was driving his car. He would glance at his rearview mirror from time to time. Along the way, he had the feeling that someone was following him, but he couldn't find any trace of him.
He did not believe that this was just an illusion. For someone who had been in danger for a long time, the proper vigilance or sixth sense was not illusory.
Only people who had experienced life or death situations would have such characteristics. Because of such characteristics, Meng Fan was able to avoid certain doom.
Right now, he felt like he was being watched. Although there was no basis for it, he was still subconsciously more vigilant.
Soon they arrived at the location indicated by the navigation. It was an office building. It was a public company. There were lots of people going in and out of the public square in front of the building. It was a bustling place.
"Go straight to the underground parking lot!" Liu Xu said indifferently, then sat down on one side as if she was talking to herself.
Meng Fan really had nothing to say to this icy beauty. Following her instructions, he drove the car straight into the underground parking lot, then followed her into the elevator and arrived at the seventeenth floor of the building.
"CEO Liu, the schedule for today's events has been arranged …" As he got closer to the 17th floor, a professional dressed beauty came up to him, holding a folder in her hands as she told Liu Xu about some of the schedules.
This scene caused Meng Fan to feel somewhat envious. Seeing how busy the company was, and thinking that his company only had a single commander, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
Meng Fan followed Liu Xu into the office. No one stopped him, but the company's atmosphere made Meng Fan a bit uncomfortable. Seeing how the people around him were always busy, while he himself could only sit at the side like an outsider, completely out of place with the rest of the people here.
He sat on the sofa, waiting for Liu Xu. To Meng Fan, this was even worse than staying in prison. At the very least, he had fellow prisoners inside the prison, and yet here he was, like a statue, a decoration.
At noon, Meng Fan called Liu Xia to inform him of his current condition. He also handed over everything within the security company to the other party to handle. This would also guarantee the company's continued operations in the early stages.
"Let's go!" Go eat! " As soon as Meng Fan hung up the phone, he heard Liu Xu's voice floating by his ear. He didn't know when, but Liu Xu had already finished packing up and was standing next to Meng Fan. Without waiting for Meng Fan, she walked out of the office.
Meng Fan sighed helplessly, making up his mind. In the future, if he were to meet an ice-cold employer like this, no matter how much money he had, he would never do this sort of business.
Despite the grumbling, the work still had to continue. He got up and followed Liu Xu out of the office.
They didn't go very far. They found a western restaurant near the building and ordered two steaks and a fruit salad.
The western cuisine, Meng Fan, didn't dislike it at all. In recent years, it was common to see people eating compressed biscuits all year round.
As far as he was concerned, as long as he could eat meat, no matter how it was made, it would always be delicious.
However, Meng Fan didn't let down his guard just because he was eating. Instead, he would occasionally look around. From the moment he and Liu Xu left the building, the feeling of being watched reappeared, accompanied by waves of fear.
"This is your fruit salad!" Meng Fan was looking nervously at his surroundings, but Liu Xu felt that Meng Fan was making a big fuss out of nothing. The reason she had hired bodyguards was because she was worried, but she didn't mention that those people really dared to hurt her.
When the waiter came with the fruit salad, Meng Fan had been observing the surroundings.1
But just as the other party was about to place the fruit salad on the table, he saw that the other party's hand, which had always been under the plate, suddenly pulled out a dagger and fiercely stabbed towards Liu Xu's chest.
In a flash, the dagger was less than 20 centimeters away from Liu Xu. Meng Fan was also startled by the waiter's sudden actions. He inwardly sighed at his own carelessness, but at the same time, he reached out a hand to grab the attendant's shoulder.
Meng Fan didn't want Liu Xu to simply hang up on him like that. Putting aside the professional attainments of a bodyguard, Meng Fan was more concerned about the pay. When they had signed the contract in the morning, Meng Fan had already known about the contents of the contract.
Liu Xu hired Meng Fan to protect her for a month. During that month, Liu Xu would be safe, and Meng Fan would receive fifty thousand. If Liu Xu was injured, he would have to pay him five hundred thousand.
Although Meng Fan didn't have a good impression of Liu Xu, his current employment relationship was only simple. This compensation wasn't what Meng Fan wanted.
The company had just started, and he had finally taken on the job. If Liu Xu really got hurt, not only would he ruin his reputation as a wandering soul, the 500,000 compensation would also make Meng Fan very worried.
In that instant, Meng Fan knew that it was too late for him to grab the assassin's dagger. Retreating was secondary, as the assassin was closest to him in terms of physical strength. He grabbed the assassin's shoulder and forcefully twisted it.
A "kacha" sound could be heard.
When the dagger was about to stab into Liu Xu's chest, the servant's assassin's arm actually softly drooped down. Obviously, this arm was crippled.
Everything happened very quickly. Liu Xu only felt that the waiter suddenly used something to stab her, and then Meng Fan, who was in front of her, suddenly stood up.
The waiter had a painful look on his face. She did not even know what had happened, and only after she knew that his arm was hanging down did she see that he was holding a sharp dagger.
Everything was still far from over. Although the waiter's arm had been crippled by Meng Fan from the shoulder, his body still slammed into Liu Xu. From the looks of it, he really did have the ambition to become a warrior and cut off one's wrist.
As Liu Xu's bodyguard, Meng Fan naturally wouldn't watch as Liu Xu got hurt. Before the waiter could come in contact with Liu Xu, he grabbed her by the waist and bent his body backwards. He actually lifted her up.
Everything happened very quickly. Even Liu Xu, who was sitting next to Meng Fan, regained her senses. She subconsciously wanted to flee, but at the same time, the people around her also reacted, screaming as they ran out of the restaurant.
"Da Da Da!"
The ruckus didn't last long before a burst of gunfire came from the entrance of the restaurant. The few people who were the first to reach the entrance fell to the ground after being hit by the bullet.
At the same time, three masked men, fully armed, walked into the restaurant with guns.
When Meng Fan heard the gunshot, he knew it wouldn't be that simple. However, he couldn't just leave Liu Xu alone and escape. He was still thinking whether she had suffered a loss by giving him the fifty thousand yuan commission.
When the three masked men entered the dining room, he had already dragged Liu Xu and ran towards the kitchen at the back of the restaurant.
Although Meng Fan was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Xu, he knew that only after surviving this crisis would he have the qualifications to negotiate with her. And Liu Xu's so-called protection was clearly not as simple as she said it would be.
Although Meng Fan's speed was very fast, he was not alone. Liu Xu was still wearing high heels, which further slowed their speed. Before they could even reach the kitchen, they were discovered by the three masked men.
Meng Fan sighed to himself. He didn't care too much about it. He grabbed Liu Xu by the waist, and just like that, with Liu Xu in his arms, he darted into a cupboard not far from the kitchen.
Just as the two of them hid behind the cabinet, they heard a few gunshots. The cabinet behind them clearly shook. Clearly, there were bullets hitting it.
Fortunately, this cabinet was made of iron, otherwise, it was possible that the two of them would have already been beaten into a hornet's nest!
"Who the hell did you offend? Why is there a gun? " Meng Fan frowned. He hid behind the cabinet and looked around for any weapons that could be used. At the same time, he looked at Liu Xu and yelled out.
At this moment, Liu Xu still did not react. She looked at Meng Fan with a dazed expression, like an ignorant child. Her face was filled with fear. She wasn't scared senseless to the point that she might even be seeing a gun for the first time!
Seeing this, Meng Fan didn't say anything more. From Liu Xu's expression, he knew that she didn't know anything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so frightened.
Liu Xu was just a woman. Although she usually acted like a stranger, in the end, she was still a woman. He was helpless against the thugs.
