Chapter 211 Qiu Degen Wants to Poach Gao Jin

If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have preferred to pay up and settle the matter.

We can't wait any longer; every minute we delay makes the situation more dangerous.

"Youwei, you just said that the people from Zhilian Security have arrived. Where are they? Are you absolutely certain?"

Zheng Youwei smiled and nodded excitedly. All these years of painstaking efforts were for the sake of further strengthening his relationship with the Qiu family, so that the Qiu family could become his allies. If he could rescue Qiu Rongrong this time...

He wasn't worried that Qiu Degen wouldn't be grateful to him. When he came to propose again, would there still be any obstacles? He and Qiu Rongrong were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

The thought of Qiu Degen becoming his father-in-law filled Zheng Youwei with joy.

"My men will be on Hong Kong Island soon. Perhaps we should send Li Jiayuan's men back first, to avoid alarming them."

Zheng Youwei has no desire to share the fruits of his success with others.

Just as he was preparing to make a good impression, the servants outside suddenly became noisy, and then the people inside heard a sound.

"Miss...Miss is back!!"

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Degen and Qiu Yun jumped up and ran towards the door.

The pattering footsteps stirred everyone's hearts. Zheng Youwei, who had remained standing there, stood there dumbfounded, clenching his fists. After a moment, he concealed the gloom on his face and followed.

"dad!!!"

Qiu Rongrong ran while crying, and headbutted her father into his arms.

The elderly father, Qiu Degen, also had tears in his eyes. He stroked his daughter's head and kept comforting her. The family hugged each other, and Qiu's mother, who was easily moved to tears, burst into tears on the spot.

It's rare for parents to be able to hold back their tears after their daughter has gone through something like this and returned safely.

As for Qiu Rongrong herself, she cried her eyes out. As the person directly involved, no one was more terrified than her.

In a situation where she could lose her life at any moment, she dared not cry out loud and could only keep everything bottled up inside.

If Gao Jin hadn't been by her side the whole time, she probably would have been terrified.

Gao Jin also returned and stood to one side.

He was an orphan with no parents, so he couldn't understand the bond of blood ties. He was deeply moved by the touching scene of the Qiu family.

Qiu Degen protects his children, and his wife is the responsibility of his family.

Responsibility is the most important belief for survival in this world. Some people's responsibility is to support their parents, while others' responsibility is to take care of their children. But whatever it is, it is a belief that enables them to live in this world and strive for it.

Gao Jin suddenly smiled, his usually cold face breaking into a smile.

Now he also bears responsibility.

His responsibility is to protect.

Protecting Brother Yuan, protecting everyone at the community property management, protecting the children at the welfare home—if he has a wife and daughters in the future, then he can have one more responsibility.

Gao Jin has a profound understanding of life and knows exactly what he wants, so he is never troubled.

If everyone could be like him, there probably wouldn't be so many worldly-worshipping fools.

After the Qiu family calmed down, Qiu Degen remembered Gao Jin, who had returned with Qiu Rongrong.

"Xiao Gao, why are you the only one who came back? Where's your boss?"

"Brother Yuan has something to do, he'll be there soon."

Even after saving Qiu Rongrong, Gao Jin's exceptionally clear sense of propriety remained unchanged. He did not take credit for himself and continued to maintain his respect and humility.

In his view, this was simply his task, and he was just doing his duty. There was nothing to be proud of.

Qiu Degen looked at Gao Jin with eager eyes.

"Come, come, sit down. Thank you so much for protecting Rongrong."

Gao Jin sensed that Qiu Degen's words had a hidden meaning, but he didn't know what Qiu Degen wanted to do. After chatting for a while, Qiu Degen extended an olive branch to Gao Jin, offering him three million a year to stay and work as his family's professional bodyguard.

Nestled in her mother's arms, Qiu Rongrong looked at her pitifully with red and swollen eyes.

Gao Jin glanced at her subconsciously, but she immediately looked down and looked away. "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Qiu, but I have no plans to change jobs at the moment."

Qiu Degen looked surprised, not expecting Gao Jin to refuse so decisively. He genuinely felt that having a bodyguard like Gao Jin would ensure the safety of his family.

He had witnessed Gao Jin's abilities firsthand. Before, he only thought Gao Jin was good at fighting, but now he realized that was just the tip of the iceberg. The people from Li Jiayuan were capable of far more than they could imagine.

"If you think the money is too little, we can discuss it."

How much does Li Jiayuan pay you per month?

"6"

There's nothing to hide. Gao Jin told the truth, which Qiu Degen found even more incomprehensible. With only 60,000 a month, the maximum annual income would be 800,000. Yet, Gao Jin wasn't tempted by the offer of 3 million.

Gao Jin's clear eyes seemed to see right through Qiu Degen's thoughts.

"We follow Brother Yuan not just for the money."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Degen was speechless, because he suddenly felt that he was somewhat low-class, like a businessman who only knew money and was covered in the stench of money.

At the same time, he was also shocked by Li Jiayuan's personal charm. This kid was a bit strange. Not only did he take every step unexpectedly, but he also had such a high level of personal charm that he could make someone like Gao Jin follow him so devotedly. He couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it.

When Gao Jin spoke of Li Jiayuan, his eyes shone with a deep and devout adoration.

Little did Qiu Degen know that for Gao Jin, Li Jiayuan was a ray of light in his life, a light that could bring light to others.

Li Jiayuan and Bao Wenlong returned quickly. Qiu Degen invited him to the back garden, where Qiu Degen once again expressed his desire to recruit Gao Jin.

This made Li Jiayuan stare at him with wide eyes. "Brother, should I say you have good taste, or should I say you're smart? Trying to poach my capable assistant? No way!"

He declined, citing respect for Gao Jin's choice, and said he trusted Gao Jin.

This hurt Qiu Degen even more, and for the first time he felt powerless. In all his years in the business world, he had never had a relationship with someone he could entrust his back to; all he had ever experienced was deceit and treachery.

Gao Jin trusts Li Jiayuan, and Li Jiayuan trusts Gao Jin; he envies this pure affection.

Because it was too late, Li Jiayuan did not mention the medical cooperation today, but arranged to discuss the cooperation at Qiu Degen's company tomorrow morning.

——Bowling Street
"pat"

Hearing the door open, Huang Lei peeked out from the next room.

"Why are you so late coming back?"

After taking off his tie and coat, Li Jiayuan hung them on the coat rack by the door and then went out to his neighbor's house.

As soon as he entered the house, the rich aroma of food whetted his appetite; he was really hungry after a busy day.

I went to the kitchen to wash my hands and saw Ruan Mei still cooking while wearing an apron, so I went over to her.

What should we cook?

Garlic-flavored water spinach

Ruan Mei turned her head and looked at the jagged face so close to hers. Her ears turned slightly red and she quickly turned her attention to the pot. Li Jiayuan washed his hands and went out.

"Where is Granny Cai?"

Huang Lei was changing channels, answering without blinking.

"Older people tend to get sleepy when they sleep in their rooms."

"I'm so sleepy too, let me hug you."

The air conditioner in the room was still on, so Huang Lei was only wearing a pair of ice silk shorts, her white thighs right in front of her. Li Jiayuan leaned in with a sly look and tried to do something naughty.

"Ah~"

"Let go! Xiaomei will see this when she comes out!"

In the living room, Huang Lei's voice, filled with both shame and anger, was like the song of a lark, melodious and captivating.
