Drinking water, Lin Feng had long forgotten everything else. After all, he knew he was just a bodyguard now. When Old Lin had invited him to visit his home earlier, Lin Feng had taken it as mere polite conversation. Although others were eager to visit the Lin family, Lin Feng truly had no desire to get too close to them.
The Lin family had a strong figure like Old Lin and a capable woman like Lin Mei. While Lin Feng acknowledged that Lin Mei was indeed beautiful, he was not lacking in beautiful women around him. However, he had to admit that so far, Lin Mei was the most stunning woman he had ever encountered.
But honestly, Lin Feng had no particular feelings for her.
Having finished his water, it was almost time to get off work. Checking the time, Lin Feng felt too lazy to return and train with the other bodyguards. Seizing an opportunity, he decided to leave.
The good thing about being a bodyguard, especially at Lin Feng's level, was that there was no need to clock in and out unless there was a protection mission.
Even though Old Lin and Lin Mei had arrived, and it would certainly require protection for them, it really didn't need to involve Lin Feng.
Others might not know, but Lin Feng was well aware that the safety of the Lin family did not rely on the visible bodyguards; they had real personal bodyguards.
Well, the moment had come. Lin Feng exited the conference room and prepared to slip away.
However, when he was halfway out, he found Lin Mei standing next to his car.
If Lin Feng remembered correctly, this woman had accompanied Old Lin back. Why was she here now, standing by his car?
These questions swirled in Lin Feng's mind, but he knew that at times like this, he should remain calm and composed; otherwise, he might fall into a trap set by the seemingly smiling yet inscrutable fox in human form—Lin Mei.
"Ah... Miss Lin, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Ha ha... I'm waiting for you. Do you know that I'm here waiting for you?" Lin Mei replied with a smile, glancing at the time.
Seeing Lin Mei's charming smile, Lin Feng, although aware that she was not an ordinary person, instinctively thought that she wasn't here to pick a fight, at least not to confront him about his current behavior as a miner.
So, Lin Feng continued to smile and replied, "Not at all. I'm actually surprised to see you here in front of me."
"Ha ha... Since you didn't know I was here, could you explain why you're already here before the end of your shift?" Lin Mei still smiled, but Lin Feng realized that she had caught him in his mining behavior and was now questioning him.
"Ha ha... As a bodyguard, I believe that due to the nature of my job, what I should be doing is not sitting in the office drinking tea and waiting for the end of my shift, but rather walking around before my shift ends to check on our company's security work and measures, to see if they need any updates." Was Lin Feng the kind of person who could easily be left speechless? Clearly not; he was now justifying his actions.
Of course, one could also interpret this as him making excuses.
However, as long as it made sense, Lin Feng always believed that making excuses was akin to being lazy—it was a form of intelligence.
Well, being able to make excuses is a skill. Whether those excuses are successful or not depends on various factors, such as who you are making excuses to; this requires careful consideration.
And now Lin Feng realized that his ability to make excuses could also be effective with Lin Mei, which was indeed not easy.
It’s important to note that Lin Mei was someone who had long held a position of power. Although her influence hadn't yet reached a certain intensity due to her relatively short tenure, Lin Feng knew that the aura she exuded was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
Lin Feng understood clearly that if it were a genuine junior employee standing in front of Lin Mei instead of him, that employee would certainly not be able to articulate such "profound" words like he did.
Even though Lin Feng used these profound words to make excuses—oh no, to justify himself.
"Well, good attitude. Being able to articulate excuses so profoundly in front of me is commendable. Get in the car. Since you are so passionate about your work and have such a clear understanding of your role, I hereby announce that you must work overtime tonight." Lin Mei almost applauded Lin Feng but after affirming his words, she continued along the lines of what he had just said.
"You said you love your job and have a clear understanding of your role, right? Well, as you mentioned, the job of a Bodyguard always comes with its own peculiarities. If your employer needs to go out at night, don't you need to accompany them?" Lin Mei thought to herself with satisfaction.
Then, although Lin Feng felt helpless, he opened the car door.
Seeing Lin Feng obediently open the door, Lin Mei's smile grew wider. It seemed that whenever she encountered Lin Feng, she enjoyed engaging in verbal sparring with him. Normally, this behavior seemed childish to Lin Mei; instead of bickering, it would be better to focus on work.
However, recently, Lin Mei had unknowingly grown fond of this banter with Lin Feng and found it quite enjoyable.
"Where are we going?" Lin Feng asked.
"To attend a Ball," Lin Mei replied.
"Huh? What kind of Ball?" Lin Feng inquired further.
"Well, it's a Ball for our circle. Xiao Yue will be attending too," Lin Mei continued.
"Oh, a top-tier Ball?" Lin Feng immediately connected the dots upon hearing Lin Mei's words.
"Then I guess I need to put on my work uniform. I left my clothes in the training room," Lin Feng added.
"No need for that. This time you're going as my male companion, so we're not heading directly to the Ball; instead, we're going to an image consulting studio," Lin Mei said, stopping Lin Feng from turning back to the company to get his clothes.
"Huh? Male companion? Miss Lin, do you think that's appropriate?" While driving, Lin Feng casually responded to Lin Mei's statement but was taken aback once he fully understood what she meant.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Mei understood why Lin Feng was surprised but still countered with a question.
From a young age, she had become accustomed to the compliance of others rather than opposition, except for those who could actually oppose her.
In fact, Lin Mei's personality was primarily shaped by her grandfather's deliberate cultivation. Aside from requiring Lin Mei to obey the commands of the Lin family, he also occasionally instilled in her the assertiveness that a leader should possess; this was his goal in raising her.
Lin Mei's grandfather had told her more than once that there were very few things the Lin family needed to be cautious about. He encouraged her to calmly think through any situation and, if she believed it was right, to go ahead and do it. Grandpa supports you.
Although what he said had its limitations, it did not hinder Lin Mei from developing the demeanor of a leader.
Thus, Lin Feng was quickly brought by Lin Mei to this so-called image-building studio, where they began the transformation.
What is an "image-building studio"? It is essentially a salon, but the people here also prepare clothes and design looks for you. In short, they will create your entire appearance, from head to toe.
Of course, the prices are certainly not ordinary, but as a bodyguard, Lin Feng wisely let Lin Mei pay for it. He didn't want to attend the ball in the first place and felt he had no reason to spend money.
Naturally, Lin Mei had no objections and simply said it was on her, then pushed Lin Feng inside for his image design.
Even though Lin Feng usually appeared unkempt, he had agreed to help He Ting investigate something and infiltrate the Golden Dragon Group. He Ting had already prepared several outfits for him. Of course, they were all average quality—not too cheap but not overly expensive either—and with a casual style that was certainly not suitable for a ball.
Therefore, it was understandable that Lin Mei wanted to give Lin Feng a makeover.
"Wait, don't cut my hair too short..." Lin Feng said to the stylist designing his look.
"Sir, rest assured, I will create a style that suits you perfectly," the stylist assured Lin Feng.
"Can't be any shorter, this is the limit." Not long after, Lin Feng shouted again, looking quite indignant.
"Sir..." The stylist wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Feng: "Who decides what suits me? That's it, there's nothing more to discuss. Otherwise, I won't pay." Lin Feng had a nonchalant expression, embodying the attitude of "the customer is king."
Next, regarding the outfit coordination, Lin Feng expressed his opinions, causing chaos in the studio. In the end, Lin Feng managed to get a transformed image that he was satisfied with.
After all, it was a high-end place. Despite Lin Feng's somewhat unreasonable interference, the final result still aligned with his preferences.
To put it simply, it wasn't difficult to meet Lin Feng's views; he actually liked his original relaxed style. However, accommodating both Lin Feng and Lin Mei's opinions proved to be a bit challenging, yet the studio managed to pull it off.
Thus, Lin Mei paid with satisfaction and left with a somewhat disgruntled Lin Feng.
"Lin Mei, aren't you amazed by my new look?" Along the way, Lin Feng tried to strike up a conversation, not for any other reason but to protest against Lin Mei for bringing him here for this image design.
"It's pretty good; I thought of it a long time ago." Lin Mei kept her gaze ahead, not even glancing at Lin Feng as she replied.
Lin Feng felt helpless. He had expected Lin Mei to frown, but she spoke so calmly that he didn't even have the chance to tease her and had to give up.
