Mo Ming emerged from the basement, breathing in the fresh air and gazing at the blue sky, feeling an immense sense of joy. After more than two months of hard work, he had made significant progress in his abilities, which was enough to make him happy.
In high spirits, Mo Ming drove to Murong Lian's company. At this time, Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er were surely there. He planned to wait for them to finish their business before they all went to find Jun Qianqian together.
Unfortunately, just as he arrived at the company building, he ran into Ren Long, who was preparing to go out for a business meeting. This guy had become much more polite; upon seeing Mo Ming, he greeted him respectfully. Ren Long no longer dared to play any tricks within the company.
After all, Ren Long was a sensible person. He knew well what kind of person Mo Ming was; offending him would lead to no good outcome. Ren Long's current position was not low, and his salary was decent. He wouldn't be foolish enough to do anything that would anger Mo Ming.
"Mr. Mo, what brings you to the company?" Ren Long asked with a smile.
"I'm here to see President Mu. By the way, where are you headed, Director Ren?" Mo Ming replied. Although there had been past conflicts with Ren Long, that was all in the past. Since Ren Long was being polite to him now, Mo Ming felt it appropriate to return the courtesy.
"Mr. Mo may not know this, but our company has been extremely busy lately. I have so many calls every day that my head is spinning. Just now, I finished one deal and barely sat down when another client called me in for a discussion," Ren Long said with a bitter smile. Ever since the creative queen Lin Yuan'er joined the advertising industry, Starry Rhythm Advertising Company had expanded significantly and gained considerable fame, successfully entering the ranks of internationally recognized advertising firms. Business was pouring in so much that Ren Long was overwhelmed.
"I see. Well, Director Ren, thank you for your hard work. Keep it up; President Mu will definitely appreciate your efforts," Mo Ming said with a slight smile as he patted Ren Long on the shoulder as a form of encouragement.
"Starry Rhythm Advertising Company is also part of my hard work. It's worth putting in some effort for its development. Mr. Mo, I will do my best and not let you or President Mu down," Ren Long replied politely.
At first, Ren Long might have thought that Mo Ming was just a lucky nobody who had suddenly gained some status, but a series of events later made it clear that Mo Ming was far more than just a bodyguard from the beginning. Now that Mo Ming valued him so highly, Ren Long felt somewhat flattered.
"Alright, Director Ren, you can go back to your work now; I won't take up any more of your time," Mo Ming chuckled lightly and then headed upstairs.
Watching Mo Ming's departing figure, Ren Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Thank goodness I didn't choose to collaborate with Yang Yuan back then; otherwise, I probably wouldn't be doing so well now..."
Mo Ming pushed open the glass door and walked inside. Everyone heard the noise and looked up briefly; upon realizing it was Mr. Mo, they all stood up and cheerfully greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Mo!"
"You all go ahead and do your things." Mo Ming waved his hand and walked straight toward Murong Lian's office.
However, he had not taken a few steps before Qiu Lan hurried over and pulled him to her cubicle. Seeing her panicked expression, Mo Ming smiled and said, "What's wrong, Girl? You look so flustered. Did something happen that you need my help with?"
"I'm worried for you," Qiu Lan shook her head seriously and said, "Mo Ming, I advise you not to go in there. Recently, I've noticed that President Mu and Director Lin have been quite irritable. Did you offend them?"
"Uh, they're really angry?" Mo Ming rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "I've been busy lately and haven't spent much time with them. I shouldn't have offended them. Is it that they're facing some work issues?"
"Right, hearing you say that makes it clear," Qiu Lan rolled her eyes at Mo Ming and said, "Mo Ming, you really don't understand women. Tell me, how long has it been since you last contacted President Mu and Director Lin?"
"About a month. What's wrong with that? In the past, when I was away for a long time, they weren't upset," Mo Ming replied directly. He had already informed Murong Lian and the other two women about staying in the basement, so he didn't think it was a big deal.
"About a month?" Qiu Lan looked exasperated and rolled her eyes again. "You haven't contacted them for a month! Do you think they wouldn't be angry? Mo Ming, you're in big trouble!"
"Hey, Girl, stop exaggerating. I already told them that I had things to do this month and wouldn't be contacting them for a while. They seemed fine with it then; why are they suddenly angry?" Mo Ming rolled his eyes back at Qiu Lan and added, "Besides, even if they're upset about this, can't I just sweet-talk them?"
"You really are clueless. What woman doesn't want to be with the person she loves every day? A day or two without contact is one thing, but a month? How could they not be upset? They probably feel like you don't value them," Qiu Lan explained patiently like a love expert.
Mo Ming thought about it carefully and found it quite reasonable. He smiled and asked Qiu Lan, "So, Girl, what should I do now?"
"What should you do? Just chill! It takes only a second to offend a woman, but to make one happy again? Some people spend their whole lives trying!" Qiu Lan said dramatically yet seriously; it was hard to tell if she was joking or not. Mo Ming was half-convinced.
"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Mo Ming chuckled bitterly.
Qiu Lan glanced over Mo Ming's shoulder and said, "You figure it out," before quickly diving into her cubicle to focus on her work. Seeing her demeanor made Mo Ming realize something; he turned around and indeed saw an enraged Murong Lian standing behind him, her resentful gaze fixed intently on him.
“Lian Lian……” Just as Mo Ming was about to comfort her, Murong Lian turned and went back into the office, followed by a loud slam of the door. Mo Ming hurried after her, trying to open the door, but Murong Lian had locked it from the inside.
“It seems she really is angry. But Yuan has a good temper; she shouldn't be too upset, right?” Mo Ming thought to himself and knocked on Lin Yuan'er's office door.
“Come in!” The pleasant voice of Lin Yuan'er came through, but there seemed to be a hint of anger in her tone.
Not wanting to think too much about it, Mo Ming opened the door and walked in. He saw Lin Yuan'er sitting in front of her computer, seriously reviewing documents. With a mischievous smile, he approached her and said, “Yuan, I'm back.”
Hearing Mo Ming's voice, Lin Yuan'er suddenly looked up. Her face initially showed a hint of joy, but upon seeing Mo Ming, her expression turned to one of anger. She snapped, “Mr. Mo, I'm working. Do you need something?”
Mr. Mo? Upon hearing how Lin Yuan'er addressed him, Mo Ming realized that she was also upset. He immediately walked over and gently massaged her shoulders, saying, “Hehe, I didn't come to bother you; I just thought you looked busy and tired, so I wanted to help.”
“No need! With you being so busy, I wouldn't dare take up your time,” Lin Yuan'er replied, filled with resentment. There was no way she would let Mo Ming off that easily. She stood up and said, “If you like staying here so much, then stay. I have things to discuss with President Mu.”
After saying that, Lin Yuan'er really took her documents and left without looking back. With a smile on his face, Mo Ming chased after her, saying, “Let’s go together; I want to talk to President Mu too…”
“Bang!” A loud slam of the door cut him off as he found himself locked out. The surrounding employees either cast amused glances or sympathetic looks at him. While Mo Ming didn’t care much about their reactions, having three women upset with him was indeed troubling.
“These girls are really angry; Yuan is ignoring me now, and I bet Jun Qianqian won’t pay me any attention either…” Finally believing Qiu Lan's words, Mo Ming realized he was in big trouble!
“Mo Ming, if you want to keep President Mu and Director Lin from being angry, you have to play the fool for them. As for how long you'll have to do that, it depends on their moods,” Qiu Lan kindly reminded him again.
“Phew.” Taking a deep breath, Mo Ming acknowledged that Qiu Lan was right; if he wanted to calm down Murong Lian, he would have to act like a fool. However, there was nothing wrong with playing the fool for his women.
But now that both Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er were locked away in their offices, even if he wanted to act like a fool to cheer them up, he had no way to do so. He could only sit back at his original desk position and play Minesweeper.
As the afternoon work hours came to an end, Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er finally emerged, but they didn't even glance at Mo Ming as they walked straight outside.
Seeing the unfriendly attitude of the two women, Mo Ming couldn't help but feel frustrated, but he still chased after them and blocked their path, saying, "Lian Lian, Yuan, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong, okay? Next time—no, I promise there won't be a next time!"
"How could I dare? You're the King of Soldiers; isn't freedom your decision? Even if you don't come back for months, that's your business. We wouldn't dare do anything to you," Murong Lian said with her arms crossed, sounding displeased. From her words, Mo Ming sensed a lot of resentment; it seemed they were quite upset about him not contacting them for a month.
"I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again, alright?" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile. "How about this: from now on, I'll follow you every day and be your bodyguard? As long as you’re not angry, I’ll do whatever you want!"
"Oh? A King of Soldiers being our bodyguard? Isn't that a bit beneath you?" Murong Lian scoffed coldly. "Actually, forgiving you this time is not out of the question, but can we trust your word?"
As long as it would calm the women down, being a bodyguard was no big deal; after all, he was already obligated to protect them. Without hesitation, Mo Ming nodded and said, "You can count on me. As long as you're not angry, I'll do whatever you say!"
"I hope you keep your word. This time we'll forgive you. Starting today, you must stick with us every step of the way. Wherever we go, you go too because as our bodyguard, you must ensure our safety!" Murong Lian stated bluntly.
"Alright! As long as you're not angry!" Mo Ming agreed readily.
Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian exchanged a knowing smile, feeling pleased with their little scheme. "Hehe, then King of Soldiers bodyguard, let's go have dinner now. Qianqian has already reserved a table!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming realized he had been tricked. However, it was too late to back out now; he could only play the role of the driver and took Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion that Jun Qianqian had booked.
