Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 595 Secretary Bai Xiuxiu

The entrance to the governor's mansion in Tianhai City.

Wu Siduo stood side by side with Nan Fusheng. She looked up at Nan Fusheng with tenderness and affection in her eyes. After a moment, she said softly, "You can stop here. Next, I need to go find Yiran."

As she finished speaking, she stepped forward and gave Nan Fusheng a gentle hug, a brief but deeply affectionate embrace.

Nan Fusheng wrapped his arms around Wu Siduo's slender waist, tightening his grip slightly as if trying to pull her closer, his reluctance evident in his expression: "How about I see you off a little longer?"

Wu Siduo gently shook her head, her hair swaying slightly with the movement. Her expression was serious and firm: "No need. I don't want too many people to know about our relationship right now. If Yi Ran sees it, given her sensibilities, she'll inevitably make many unnecessary assumptions."

As she spoke, she slowly withdrew from Nan Fusheng's embrace, her gaze still lingering on his face.

"Nai Wu Siduo, please take care on your journey."

Seeing this, Nan Fusheng didn't press the matter. He leaned down slightly and gently kissed Wu Siduo's cheek, then leaned close to her ear, his voice soft yet carrying a hint of teasing: "Next time we meet, I'll make you some noodles."

In an instant, a blush spread across Wu Siduo's pretty face, as vibrant as a peach blossom in spring. She immediately gave Nan Fusheng a reproachful look, her eyes full of coquettishness and shyness: "You...you're so unserious."

Seeing this, Nan Fusheng immediately put on an extremely innocent expression, spreading his hands, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I mean, next time we meet, I'll personally cook noodles for you. What are you thinking?"

"Hmph." Wu Siduo looked at the faint smirk on Nan Fusheng's lips and knew perfectly well that he was deliberately teasing her.

However, Wu Siduo was by no means a weakling. She immediately raised her chin, a sly glint in her eyes, and launched a powerful counterattack: "Then I'll be waiting for you, don't worry. When we meet next time, I'll cook noodles for you too."

"Then I'll wait and see." Nan Fusheng waved to Wu Siduo with a bright smile, his tone full of concern: "Take care on your journey."

"Mm." Wu Siduo nodded to Nan Fusheng, her movements gentle and elegant. Then, a flash of light enveloped her, and she instantly transformed into a streak of light, speeding away into the distance. She needed to find Zheng Yiran first before she could take her to Mingdu to report.

After watching Wu Siduo's figure disappear into the distance, Nan Fusheng stretched slightly, turned around and returned to the mansion. "It's probably going to be a long time before we see each other again. It's actually a bit lonely."

Nan Fusheng could indeed help Wu Siduo join the Federal Central Security Bureau, but if he wanted Wu Siduo to serve as his personal bodyguard, he would still have to go through the necessary procedures.

Even though Nan Fusheng has connections in the Federation, he doesn't have absolute power, so it still takes some time and going through the proper procedures.

Unless he's willing to involve high-ranking officials, such as federal generals like Aquarius or Yu Guanzhi, or other figures who have served as deputies to members of parliament, the proper procedures still need to be followed.

Even though Wu Siduo was planted by him, the necessary assessments were still required. After all, she was a bodyguard for a federal congressman, so the investigations into her loyalty and background were naturally extremely rigorous.

Of course, identity and background shouldn't matter much to Wu Siduo and the others, because Nan Fusheng has already taken care of that for them.

However, Nan Fusheng also did not want to help Wu Siduo too obviously.

The reason is simple: Wu Siduo has an extremely proud personality. If she finds out that Nan Fusheng is deliberately giving her special treatment, she might throw a tantrum.

Therefore, he decided that he would at most give her some subtle help in secret, and the rest would have to be achieved through Wu Siduo's own efforts.

You reap what you sow. Compared to Nan Fusheng directly helping her, Wu Siduo is more inclined to rely on her own efforts to achieve her goals.

As long as Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran can successfully pass the Central Security Bureau's assessment and gain experience there, once they reach a certain level, Nan Fusheng can apply to the Central Security Bureau for bodyguards and have them reassigned.

It may sound complicated, but it's a necessary process. In a sense, this is also about creating an identity for Wusiduo that allows her to appear openly in the public eye and be recognized by the federal system.

Despite this, Nan Fusheng still couldn't help feeling somewhat lonely.

……

"By the way, where did Nunnally go?"

As Nan Fusheng walked through the mansion, he felt rather bored. It seemed that ever since Nanali caught him and Nasita in their affair, and Nasita had threatened Nanali afterwards, he had rarely seen Nanali.

As he was pondering, Nan Fusheng turned his head and asked Zi Ji, who had appeared behind him unnoticed, "Zi Ji, do you know where Nanali went?"

With a graceful movement, Murasaki bowed slightly in respect:

"Reporting to Lord Fusheng, Nanali seems to be busy with some important matters lately, so she seems to be going out most of the time. When she does come back, she is very cautious. She seems to be very afraid of Lady Nasita, and she always makes a point of avoiding that lady's room."

Listening to Zi Ji's report, Nan Fusheng nodded. It seemed that the Holy Spirit Cult had taken action again, which was why Nanali had been going out so often lately.

As for Nanali's fear of Narcida, that's normal. She was probably quite frightened by Narcida last time.

Nan Fusheng continued walking and unknowingly arrived near the study. Before even stepping inside, he could hear Qingque and Bai Xiuxiu talking.

"Xiuxiu, have you finished your work? Can you finish it faster so I can take you outside to play?" Qingque's voice carried a hint of urgency and laziness.

Bai Xiuxiu responded gently, "Okay, Qingque, don't worry, give me about ten minutes, and I'll be able to finish reading these documents."

Nan Fusheng pushed open the door, and the sight before him made him frown slightly. He saw Qing Que sprawled on the sofa, completely unconcerned about her appearance, lounging in a relaxed, carefree position.

Bai Xiuxiu, on the other hand, sat upright at her desk, buried in a mountain of documents, diligently handling various matters.

Nan Fusheng sighed inwardly. He had only been working with Qingque for a few days, and she had already learned to outsource tasks.

"Qingque, are you slacking off again?"

Qingque, who was slacking off, was startled when she heard Nan Fusheng's voice. She quickly opened her eyes and saw Nan Fusheng staring at her expressionlessly.

"Lord Fusheng." Qingque stood up somewhat awkwardly, a fawning smile on her face, and hurriedly explained, "I wasn't slacking off, I just asked Xiuxiu to help me with some documents."

But how could Nan Fusheng listen to her reasons? As the saying goes, when a leader wants to find fault with you, even if you only step forward with your left foot, you may be considered to have made a mistake.

"Since Xiuxiu is handling your documents, Qingque, I'll just give you your future work to Xiuxiu. As for you? I'm thinking about what to do with you. How about I send you to a pharmaceutical company to be a guinea pig and test their new drugs?"

Nan Fusheng said casually, "To be honest, this idea seems pretty good. Who knows, during the process of experimenting with the new drug, Qingque might even undergo a genetic mutation or something."

"No, Lord Fusheng! I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me!" Qingque panicked instantly, took a few steps forward, grabbed Nan Fusheng's sleeve tightly, looked at him pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

"I only earn 20,000 Federal Dollars a month. If you give it all to Xiuxiu, how am I supposed to survive this month?" Qingque cried out to Nan Fusheng, lamenting her "miserable situation."

"And you still dare to slack off?" Nan Fusheng remained completely unmoved, with an expression of iron-fisted impartiality. "The workload I assigned you wasn't much; it was just checking some documents."

"Even an ordinary person could finish this in an hour or two. Besides, there aren't many of these documents; I only get about two or three a month. And yet, you still manage to slack off."

"Think about it, you only need to work a few hours a month to earn 20,000 yuan. This kind of secure job is something most people would kill for. If we don't teach you a lesson today, what will you do when you enter the workforce?"

Nan Fusheng's words carried a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Qingque opened her mouth, wanting to retort, "Won't I become your spirit in the future? How could I possibly enter society?" But in the end, she wisely swallowed her words and instead turned her pleading gaze to Bai Xiuxiu.

"Waaah, Xiuxiu, please plead for me." Qingque's voice was choked with sobs, filled with helplessness. At this moment, she placed all her hopes on another person in the study—Bai Xiuxiu.

"Fusheng, please don't blame Qingque. It was my own idea to help her, and if anything, I also bear some responsibility."

Bai Xiuxiu had been watching this farce from the very beginning. When Qingque asked for help, she immediately stood up and defended Qingque.

"Alright, Xiuxiu. You don't need to plead for Qingque. I was just trying to scare her." Nan Fusheng explained to Bai Xiuxiu after she spoke up.

"Qingque, do you know you were wrong?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Qingque nodded repeatedly.

"Then I'll let you off this time. But Xiuxiu." Nan Fusheng looked at Bai Xiuxiu who was walking towards him and said, "Are you interested in being my secretary? Anyway, judging from Qingque's personality, she'll probably just pass on any work I give her to you."

"My previous secretary has recently encountered some issues and may not be able to come to work on time. Therefore, I would like to hire you as my secretary. Don't worry, the work won't be too demanding."

"As I said before, there are only a few documents to process each month, so there's plenty of free time. As for salary, I'll give you Qingque's salary."

"No!" Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, Qingque immediately cried out in anguish.

"Okay, sure." Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement. "But I don't want Qingque's salary. After all, you took me in, so I want to do what I can to help you."

Upon hearing this, Qingque looked at Bai Xiuxiu with a touched expression, "Good sister."

"After all, you helped me before." Bai Xiuxiu looked at Qingque with a smile.

"By the way, Fusheng. There are some things I don't understand about this document. Could you please take a look at it for me?" Just then, Bai Xiuxiu seemed to suddenly remember something, reached out and randomly pulled out a document from the mountain of documents on the table, and walked gracefully towards Nan Fusheng.

"Okay, let me take a look for you." Nan Fusheng also reached out his hand, ready to take the document.

"what!"

Just then, an accident occurred. As Bai Xiuxiu was walking towards Nan Fusheng, she suddenly stumbled, lost her balance, and uncontrollably fell towards Nan Fusheng.

She seemed quite frightened by the sudden situation, her eyes tightly closed, and as she fell, her arms flailing wildly involuntarily, trying to grab onto something to steady herself.

"Bang!"

Just as the two were about to collide, a figure rushed over like lightning, steadily inserting itself between them and catching Bai Xiuxiu's swaying body in time.

"Ding!"

What her fingertips touched was a texture as hard as steel. Filled with curiosity, Bai Xiuxiu slowly opened her eyes. What came into view was Zi Ji's stunningly beautiful face, cold as ice yet exuding a touch of allure.

"Be careful." Zi Ji glared coldly at Bai Xiuxiu, then helped her up.

"I'm sorry." Bai Xiuxiu felt as if she were being stared at by a giant beast lurking in the abyss when Zi Ji glared at her, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Xiuxiu, this is Ziji, she's my personal bodyguard." Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become a bit stiff, Nan Fusheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over and introduced her to Bai Xiuxiu.

"Greetings, Senior Zi Ji." Bai Xiuxiu bowed somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmm." Zi Ji simply responded with a faint sound, then quietly retreated behind Nan Fusheng, resuming her taciturn demeanor.

"Come here, Xiuxiu, is there anything you don't understand? Let me help you take a look." Nan Fusheng reached out and took the documents from Bai Xiuxiu's hand, and then asked.

"Okay, actually it's here..." Bai Xiuxiu pointed to a spot on the document.

"Oh, this isn't a big problem, you..." Nan Fusheng glanced at it and began to explain to Bai Xiuxiu.

In the corridor, Zi Ji looked at Nan Fusheng walking ahead of her and suddenly spoke:

"Master, there's something wrong with Bai Xiuxiu just now. I can sense that she's quite strong, and her blood and qi are even more concentrated than those of an ordinary Title Douluo. How could someone like that fall down so easily?"

"Yes, I know. Don't worry about it too much." Nan Fusheng glanced at Zi Ji with some surprise, and then said.

Zi Ji had been brainwashed by Aponia and was not Nan Fusheng's alter ego, so she didn't know Bai Xiuxiu's true identity. However, with her cultivation level, it would be quite easy for her to spot some of Bai Xiuxiu's flaws.

The reason I spoke up to remind him at this moment was also based on the principle of protecting Nan Fusheng.

Since Nan Fusheng said not to worry about it, she naturally wouldn't say anything more, but in her heart, she raised her level of vigilance towards Bai Xiuxiu.

After all, in Zi Ji's eyes now, Nan Fusheng and Fors are the two people with the highest level of protection.
