Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 415: Unpopular Couple
Duanmu took the phone and walked to the beach, calling Dulan. Dulan was an elder and a guide to him, and they were both teachers and friends. It can be said that the blueprint of the Knights is Dulan's dream, but because of his identity, he was constrained too much, and he was older and less able to accept new things, so he wanted to train Duanmu to inherit his ideals.

Anyone could destroy the Knights, except Dolan. The Knights have passed the development stage, and now it is time to stabilize the stage of restraining its edge. Duanmu's idea: I want the United States as a backer, but the Knights cannot be restricted by the United States. With the United States as a backer, at least there will not be a situation where multiple countries will jointly crack down on the Knights, but the United States is not a philanthropist. He needs Duanmu to have more say in the Knights to strengthen his influence on the Knights. To pave the way for the future placement of personnel into the Knights and ask the Knights to perform tasks that are inconvenient for them to perform.

As for his ability, Duanmu didn't think too much about it. Even if he wasn't qualified, he still had Dolan. If Dolan wasn't qualified, he could still recruit people from the Knights. The Knights were full of talented people, and it would be easy to form a staff think tank, which was definitely better than Luke taking on everything alone.

One day later, the Duanmu project was over and everything was back on track. Duanmu first flew to Washington and secretly met with several intelligence officials with Dolan. The two sides discussed Duanmu's replacement of Luke. The only thing that surprised Duanmu was that the idea of ​​him replacing Luke was not proposed by Luke or Washington, but by Dolan.

Dolan once met with an old friend of his, a powerful intelligence official. The official contacted Luke and asked indirectly whether it was possible to choose a successor other than students, and finally pointed to Duanmu.

Washington's idea is also simple and crude. 95% of Duanmu's assets are in the United States. Just based on this point, he can control Duanmu. Duanmu doesn't care about his assets. As the boss of the Knights, the wealth he really controls can be said to be rich enough to rival a country. In particular, the Dome Project has made his assets soar. Just talking about the order of Prince 50, he does nothing and earns $120 million a day.

After the project was over, Cui Jian was summoned by his boss' sister to have dinner at Ye's house. Ye Wen invited Cui Jian over the phone to help the housekeeper disappear. Cui Jian was not stupid and did not think that Ye Wen would specially invite him to dinner at home because of this matter. He guessed that it was something related to Ye Lan.

After dinner, tea was served. Ye Wen wanted to ask Ye's mother to leave, but Ye's mother was sharp-minded and insisted on staying.

Ye Wen's first question: "Have you ever considered getting married?"

Cui Jian answered honestly: "As long as Mr. Ye agrees, we can get married at any time. But Mr. Ye has been busy with study and work in the past two years, and it doesn't make much difference whether we get married or not."

Mother Ye said, "Since you two have no objection, I will say one thing. You must sign a prenuptial property agreement. Ye Lan, you can give some of your assets to your father to help you manage them."

Ye Wen was dissatisfied: "Do you care about that little money?"

Mother Ye did not give in: "Don't forget the Samsung Princess. She married a security guard, suffered domestic violence after marriage, her husband cheated on her, divorced her at a sky-high price, and was laughed at by the world. It's enough to be recorded in history. You can not care about this little money, but does the Ye family not care about reputation?"

Ye Wen was choked. The matter of the three-star princess sounded like a fantasy, and most novels would not dare to write about it like this, but it happened.

Cui Jian said: "It doesn't matter. There is no need for a prenuptial agreement. Justifying the property is enough. Justify my property. When we divorce in the future, I will only take the property that has been justified."

Ye Lan smiled and said, "You are so stingy."

Cui Jianli immediately changed his words: "Just $10."

Ye Lan said to everyone, "I know how to handle this matter. I have decided to pursue a doctorate, so I will postpone the marriage for another two years."

Ye Wen didn't understand: "Is there no need to study anymore?"

Ye Lan: "I can make time."

Since Ye Lan said so, Ye Wen did not try to persuade her. Ye Ye said, "I don't know what you young people are thinking. The Ye family is small, and I hope you can have a baby soon. There is no need for you, Xiao Lan, to get pregnant yourself. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

South Korea prohibits the sale of eggs, but does not prohibit surrogacy. In addition, countries such as Russia not only allow surrogacy, but also stipulate that the child does not belong to the surrogate mother, which is a rare explicit legal protection for surrogacy.

Ye's mother supported this: "It's not a problem to get pregnant before marriage." After all, she was her daughter, so she didn't want her to suffer. The reason why she didn't strongly oppose Ye Lan and Cui Jian's relationship was because Cui Jian had an excellent appearance and physical fitness.

Ye Wen said: "We'll talk about this later. Cui Jian, you should be well aware of the risks of the bodyguard profession."

Cui Jian nodded: "According to the alliance's statistics, the annual attack rate of alliance bodyguards is approximately 5 and 0.5. That is to say, after a team of bodyguards has worked for a full year, the probability of encountering a cold weapon attack is 5%, and the probability of encountering a hot weapon attack is 0.5%." A certain team even raised this ratio by itself.

Ye Wen joked: "It seems that the Duanmu Group and the Diudiu Group are not like this."

Cui Jian nodded: "Compared to other bodyguards, we are all still alive."

Ye Lan suppressed her laughter. Ye Wen was talking about the high risk faced by Cui Jian and his team. Cui Jian thought that Ye Wen was praising them for not suffering any casualties. Although we encountered many attacks, we were fine. Although other bodyguard teams encountered fewer attacks, most companies in the bodyguard alliance had bodyguards killed in the line of duty.

Ye Wen said: "I mean to transfer you from front-line work to administrative or logistical management work."

Cui Jian said: "I don't know how to do management work. But it doesn't matter. Mr. Ye has already told me about the relevant issues. I don't have to work."

Ye Ye objected: "You must have a job. It's not about how much money you get from the job, but about having a job. Besides being a bodyguard, what other jobs are you interested in?"

Cui Jian replied: "Chef, but I only know how to cook home-cooked dishes. I like cars very much, but I have never learned how to repair them systematically. Maybe I can start as an apprentice."

Ye Wen said: "Li Ran is in need of an assistant."

Cui Jian said with a stiff upper lip: "Li Ran and I can be considered friends, but we are not suitable to be work partners. How about I be a webcaster? I know the home cooking of many countries."

Ye Lan objected: "You can't show up in public." The filter of love made her think that Cui Jian was very good in all aspects. Now he even live-broadcasts cooking. Do you know how many housewives like this?

Cui Jian nodded repeatedly: "I know."

Ye Wen looked at Ye Lan, who said in distress, "I'll think about it." She could support Cui Jian, but this kind of thing went against social cognition after all, and the Ye family was a top consortium, so it would be easy for this matter to become the protagonist of entertainment gossip. Cui Jian would also become a comparison group in entertainment programs and become the object of ridicule.

Although the bodyguard job is dangerous, Cui Jian does a pretty good job. He is a four-star bodyguard, the best in the industry. With such a professional identity, no one dares to look down on him.

Cui Jian understood what Ye Lan meant and said, "It doesn't matter. Although the bodyguard job is dangerous, what job is not dangerous?"

Ye Ye asked, "You seem to like this kind of life very much?" Cui Jian shook his head, "It's okay, but I don't like it very much."

Ye Ye asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Cui Jian replied: "It's OK, I'm not really afraid." He is not an atheist, but a staunch theist who is even less afraid of death. Rather than being afraid of death, it's better to be afraid of separation and of making friends and relatives sad.

Ye Ye looked at Ye Wen: There is no point in chatting today.

Cui Jian's attitude: I can do anything. I will do whatever you arrange. Even though I don't like doing administrative work, I can accept it.

The Ye family's attitude: He needs a respectable job that is not too dangerous, cannot have too much contact with the opposite sex, and can accompany Ye Lan as much as possible. Cui Jian cannot be allowed to do a job he doesn't like, because the depression brought by work can easily be transmitted to the family.

The final conclusion is: see for yourself.

Let Cui Jian die. Ye Lan can find someone else after he dies, or she can play the role of a passionate woman who stays single for the sake of her lover. With the development of science and technology, things like continuing the incense of the Ye family do not require Ye Lan to spend too much time. As for Ye Lan's physiological needs, it is not a problem at all.

Did Ye Lan have such an idea? As a shrewd businessman and a woman who puts her career first, it was impossible to say that she didn't have such an idea.

After dinner, the two took a walk in the manor. Cui Jian was hesitating whether to tell Ye Lan about his identity. The story of Yue Tu and Yue Qi touched him deeply. Yue Qi was born in Belgium and had a harmonious family. People like her could not be said to be rich, but they would definitely live a comfortable life. The reason why she went from heaven to hell was that she fell in love with Yue Tu and married him.

Cui Jian thought that Ye Lan should at least have the right to know.

Ye Lan spoke first: "Actually, just do whatever you want, as long as you are happy."

Cui Jian was a little confused.

Ye Lan explained: "My personality and my family do not allow me to be a little woman. Even if you are willing, I cannot accept your unprincipled change for me, because I cannot treat you wholeheartedly. You see, we can only meet a few times a month."

Ye Lan said, "You said we can give the child any last name, you said I can do whatever I want... Your sincerity makes me feel guilty. You are willing to give yourself to me, but I can't give you all of myself. You don't require much in terms of material things, and I can't make it up to you financially... I don't know if I will dislike you in the future. Every time I think of this, I get very scared."

Ye Lan said: "If it is a normal situation, I don't like you in the future, I can divorce you and break up with you, just like many people. But because you have given me so much, even if I hate you, I can't divorce you because of the regret in my heart. Sorry, I follow my heart when it comes to feelings. I like it if I like it, and I don't like it if I don't like it."

Cui Jiandao: "If you are a full-time housewife, your life only has me and my children. Even if you don't like me, you have to follow me. This is called..."

Seeing Cui Jian stuck, Ye Lan continued, "Sunken value. I have devoted my whole heart to my family and children. If I give up my family and children, my previous efforts will become sunk value. In order to prevent my efforts from becoming sunk value, I must become a woman who lives only for my family and children."

Cui Jian said: "But you are not. It's good like this now. If you don't like me one day, just tell me and we can separate. Similarly, if I fall in love with someone else one day, I will tell you. Maybe one day I die on the street. I hope you can forget me quickly, or at least not be affected by my death, and continue on your life path."

Ye Lan laughed and said, "I should have blocked your mouth at this time, and then said 'Pah, pah, pah.'"

Cui Jian also laughed: "I prefer open-hearted conversations."

Ye Lan nodded, looked at her toes and walked for a while, then said, "People change. I hope I can love you forever, but I can't guarantee that I won't change my mind in the future. However, I will definitely abide by the responsibilities of love and marriage: loyalty. At least physical loyalty."

Cui Jian praised: "I have the same idea. I must say that I like you more and more now."

Ye Lan hooked her finger and asked Cui Jian to bend down and kiss her lips. After they were done, she smiled and said, "Me too."

This is a pair of unpopular young lovers, they do not shy away from facing human nature. Even in the midst of love, they clearly realize that they cannot afford to make vows of eternal love, and will not make promises such as "I will only love you for the rest of my life" and "You will always be my only one".

Rich sacrifices are not as good as generous support, and filial piety focuses on the present. In their view, the same is true for love.

That night, they talked a lot and did little, and reached a consensus: both sides should not put too much pressure on each other and do what they like.

……

After reaching a consensus, Cui Jian really started to do what he liked. He spent 20 days on a self-driving tour in South America, with the core theme of the tour being chili culture. From Havana chili to Peruvian sweet chili, Cui Jian learned how locals incorporate chili into their cuisine. Some unexpected events also occurred during this period, but fortunately Cui Jian had a relatively objective understanding of South America. He bought a gun on the day he entered Mexico from the United States, and effectively dealt with many emergencies.

According to the plan, the next stop was Southeast Asia, but unfortunately the day before leaving for Malaysia, Duanmu called and Cui Jian had to change his itinerary and fly directly to Hancheng.

The company's special car was waiting at the airport, and Cui Jian was taken to the company's conference room as soon as he got off the plane. This meeting was supposed to be held yesterday, but it was postponed to today because of waiting for Cui Jian. Participants: Li Ran, Diudiu, Zhenzhen, Jinying, Zhang Hao, Ye Rannuo, Duanmu, Guiyi and Cui Jian.

Ye Rannuo has officially joined the Diu team and completed a 10-day project in the Netherlands, during which their team prevented a poisoning assassination of a VIP.

Duanmu first explained the situation. He was the employer of this project, he was a VIP, and he was also a bodyguard. The reason was naturally because Washington's envoy, Luke, and Duanmu were going to have a secret meeting. To put it simply, Luke would formally hand over the inheritance, and this process would take about three to five days, or even longer.

Luke would not hand over all the inheritance at once, not because he was stingy, but because Duanmu did not have enough manpower to understand the inheritance.

For example, one of the heritage sites is an underground arsenal in a country in the Middle East. Luke would only explain the scale, the main weapons produced, etc. However, Luke is not the boss of the arsenal in public, and it is managed by someone else. During this period, Duanmu's people need to have a comprehensive understanding of the arsenal to ensure that the data Luke gave is correct. At the same time, Duanmu also needs to meet with the boss of the arsenal in public, and the two sides will discuss the possibility of continued cooperation.

Whether to shut down the arsenal, sell it, or take it over, Duanmu's think tank needs to make a decision based on the actual situation, such as the size of the factory, the main customers of the factory, and whether it has strategic significance.
