After getting out of the car, Ye Hao checked the time on his phone and realized it was already three-thirty. He hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to attend to, I'll talk to you later tonight." With that, Ye Hao handed over the two women's luggage bags and dashed toward the direction of Celestial Mansion...

Lin Ruyu watched the direction in which Ye Hao ran, her heart in her throat, wondering whether her new bodyguard was really him. So she stared fixedly at Ye Hao; if he entered the Celestial Mansion, then it would be certain that her new bodyguard was him. But if he didn't, then perhaps the new bodyguard wasn't him...

Three hundred meters... two hundred meters... one hundred meters... fifty meters... Lin Ruyu was counting the approximate distance as Ye Hao approached the Celestial Mansion. However, when Ye Hao was about thirty meters away from the entrance of the Celestial Mansion, he suddenly veered into a side alley on the left. Watching Ye Hao leave the entrance of the Celestial Mansion, Lin Ruyu suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

So it's really not him. Looks like I was overthinking it! Such coincidences hardly happen, right? Besides, watching Ye Hao dash into the left alley at such a speed, it's impossible for him to turn back and enter the Celestial Mansion!

"Yuyu, are you hoping for Ye to be our bodyguard?" Su Qing, standing behind Lin Ruyu, noticed that Lin Ruyu hardly blinked as she watched Ye Hao leave, thinking maybe Lin Ruyu wished someone as heroic as Ye Hao could be her bodyguard. Plus, Ye Hao was so sunny and handsome—while not the super handsome type, he was definitely easy on the eyes and wouldn't scare people away.

"Ah! What's the use of hoping? He's not our bodyguard. Let's go see what kind of a bizarre look our new bodyguard has." At this point, Lin Ruyu was hoping the bodyguard would be Ye Hao, so she didn't have high expectations for the new bodyguard her father, Lin Tian, had arranged.

"Alright! You like Ye," Su Qing displayed a knowing expression but felt a little sour in her heart. However, given everyone's current situation, she wasn't feeling jealous, just yet.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I like him? I just thought if he were our bodyguard, we could mess with him. After all, he's a hero! Wouldn't it be satisfying to mess with a hero?" Lin Ruyu smiled mischievously like a little witch.

"You really think so?" Upon hearing this, Su Qing immediately got excited and, holding Lin Ruyu's arm playfully, said, "Yuyu, you're the best! I love you to bits."

"Hmph! If I said I liked your Ye, would you still love me to bits?" Lin Ruyu rolled her eyes at Su Qing, who felt a bit embarrassed for being called out like that. The two women then slowly walked into the Celestial Mansion with their luggage bags...

When Ye Hao reached the entrance of the Celestial Mansion, he realized he had fought too hard on the plane, breaking into a sweat and smelling bad. Knowing his employer was wealthy and wouldn't like someone so shabby, Ye Hao had run off to find a place to freshen up, hoping to make a better first impression.

Unfortunately, there was only a small convenience store nearby; the rest was surrounded by walls of the Celestial Mansion, and further destinations were under development! There was no need to run further.

He bought two large bottles of mineral water from the convenience store to wipe off some sweat and washed his face, ran his fingers through his hair, and changed into new clothes, stuffing his old vest into his backpack.

After finishing all this, Ye Hao ran back toward the main entrance of the Celestial Mansion. Perhaps because he was dressed too shabbily, not wearing branded clothes or being a company employee, as he approached the entrance, four security guards stepped up to block his way.

"Hello? May I ask what you're doing here?" one head security guard asked.

"I'm here to report in. My superior tasked me to find someone named Zhang Fu here," Ye Hao mentioned the name Fang Zhongtian had instructed him to find.

"Oh? You know Elder Fu?" the head security guard asked in confusion.

"No, but my boss just told me to look for him," Ye Hao shook his head and said.

"You don't know Elder Fu yet you're looking for him? Then you better scram! Elder Fu isn't someone just anyone can see," another guard, thinking Ye Hao was there to try and meet Elder Fu, spoke coldly.

Ye Hao felt a bit displeased at his tone, but since he was here to meet his employer, he didn't want to cause any trouble and still spoke politely, "But my boss specifically instructed me to find Zhang Fu. Could you perhaps inform him for me?"

"No way, no way. Get lost! This place doesn't welcome non-company personnel. Of course, if you're here to discuss cooperation with the company, you're very welcome, but are you?" another guard sneered.

Ye Hao's face darkened a bit. They were truly looking down on him!

Just as he was about to speak, an elderly man in his sixties emerged from the lobby. The old man appeared silently, his eyes sharp and his steps brisk, giving others the first impression of strength and vitality.

"Hehe! The two who were sneering just now, you're fired. I hope that next time, no matter who comes to the Celestial Mansion, you'll extend the basic courtesy," Zhang Fu announced upon arriving in the lobby and overhearing the sneering voices at the entrance. He disliked such people because they could eventually have a negative impact on the company.

So the first thing he did after emerging was to dismiss those two people, not even bothering to look at their expressions, and then turned to Ye Hao, asking, "You are?"

"Hello, sir. My name is Ye Hao. I'm here looking for someone named Zhang Fu. Could you please inform him for me?" Ye Hao's first impression of Zhang Fu was that he seemed very astute, so he made sure not to offend him—otherwise, it would only bring harm to himself.

"Oh? Ye Hao? I am Zhang Fu," Zhang Fu immediately understood Ye Hao's purpose upon hearing his introduction.

The boss had instructed him to welcome this young man, so upon hearing Ye Hao's name, Zhang Fu didn't put on airs and smiled, "Ye Hao, my young friend, my lady is waiting for you. Why don't we go see her now? If she hires you, we'll discuss the salary afterward?"

"No problem!" Ye Hao nodded.

After that, Ye Hao followed Zhang Fu to the tenth floor of the Celestial Mansion, ready to meet the employer.

At this moment, Lin Ruyu and Su Qing looked at their watches and realized it was already 4:05 PM. Originally, Ye Hao not entering Celestial Mansion had already displeased her, and now the bodyguard they were supposed to wait for still hadn't arrived. How could she not be angry?

"Yuyu, this person has no sense of time! He's late, how could Lin arrange for someone so untimely to protect you?" Su Qing said with a pout, somewhat displeased.

"Humph! Even if he's the Celestial King, I want him to pay for making me wait five extra minutes." Lin Ruyu was of noble birth, and although people at school didn't know her father was Lin Tian, her attire alone indicated she was wealthy. Normally, others waited for her; when had she ever waited for anyone?

"Exactly, we must make him pay." Su Qing finished speaking, puffed up with anger like Lin Ruyu, both turning their backs to the door, having no interest in seeing what this new bodyguard looked like.

After leading Ye Hao to Lin Tian's office on the tenth floor, Zhang Fu had also gotten mostly familiar with the layout of the Celestial Mansion. He felt genuinely impressed by its grandeur and magnificence.

"The lady is waiting inside. Shall we go in?" Zhang Fu led Ye Hao to Lin Tian's usual office and smiled.

"Mm!" Ye Hao said, feeling a bit nervous! Despite not being troubled by facing yet another group of ferocious mercenaries, Ye Hao felt uneasy now due to his livelihood depending on this.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Zhang Fu knocked on the door a few times, and a woman's voice came from inside saying, "Come in."

Zhang Fu entered with Ye Hao, realizing that both chairs at the desk were turned away from them. Zhang Fu quickly looked at his watch and figured they were ten minutes late, thinking these two ladies are surely angry now!

"Miss, the new bodyguard is here. Do you want to test him?" Zhang Fu asked, breaking the silence.

"No need to test him. As a bodyguard, he was late; someone without a time sense isn't fit to be a bodyguard." Lin Ruyu dismissed Ye Hao outright while her back was turned to Ye Hao and Zhang Fu. But if she knew it was Ye Hao behind her, who knows what her expression would be?

Ye Hao found her voice somewhat familiar, but wasn't sure if it was her, and he also wasn't keen on accepting tasks like being a bodyguard either; it's best for him if she didn't want him as her bodyguard.

"Elder Fu, take him away! Don't bring in just any random person like this again." Lin Ruyu directly issued an order to dismiss.

Zhang Fu felt helpless. The boss instructed him to take good care of Ye Hao, but the young lady seemed to kick Ye Hao out like a ball, leaving him feeling a bit awkward.

"Miss..." Zhang Fu wanted to say something, but Lin Haiyu continued, "Elder Fu, you are the closest to my father. I hope you won't oppose my decisions."

"Alright, Miss." Zhang Fu responded, realizing there was nothing else he could say, and directly took Ye Hao outside the office door.

Zhang Fu awkwardly said, "Ye Hao, could you wait for me? I'll go in and talk to Miss."

Ye Hao shook his head with an unconcerned look and said, "No need, Mr. Zhang. I'm not lucky enough to be favored by your Miss, so don't bother." Ye Hao laughed and nodded, then took the elevator to leave the Celestial Mansion...

Zhang Fu, feeling helpless, walked back into the office dejectedly.

"Elder Fu, has the new bodyguard left?" Lin Ruyu blinked her beautiful eyes, turned her chair, and asked with a smile, thinking that she wouldn't have to deal with this burden anymore.

"He's gone, what a pity!" Zhang Fu sighed, "Such a pity for Ye Hao, the guy has solid martial arts skills..."

"What? Elder Fu, did you say his name is Ye Hao?" Lin Ruyu and Su Qing dared to ask as they stood up, eyes fixed closely on Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu, looked at by the two women, thought he had something on his face and wiped it, saying, "Yes, his name is Ye Hao..."

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing, upon hearing Zhang Fu say his name is Ye Hao, quickly dashed out...
