Chapter 46 Not Long After
Liu Wentian laughed and said, "It hasn't been long."
Instantly, Lv Chun turned to look at Liu Wentian, his face drastically changed.
At that moment, even if he was a fool, he understood that the problem lay with this guy he had looked down upon!!
Who on earth was he??
At this point, everyone else's gaze also turned somewhat vacant as they looked at Liu Wentian, completely taken aback that this seemingly ordinary street vendor knew Bai Ruguo, the mesmerizing movie queen and future heir to Feige Entertainment, and what's more, Bai Ruguo was being very polite to him!!
At this time, everyone looked at Lv Chun with schadenfreude, as if to say, you always like to put on airs, and now you've finally hit a snag!!
You said he was here looking for a job, turns out he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, more capable of putting on airs than you!!
If Liu Wentian realized that these people saw him as a big shot who played low-key, he would probably be truly frustrated—brother was genuinely here to apply for a job.
Bai Ruguo instructed Zhao Hong briefly, asking her to handle the situation here, then said to Liu Wentian, "Alright, come upstairs with me."
Liu Wentian turned to the stunned Yu Xie with a smile, clearly now Lv Chun had no power to fire her.
Lv Chun finally reacted, collapsing to the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, "Sir, please, ask Ruguo to not put me on ice. It's all because I was blind, please have mercy and let me go. If I get put on ice, I'm done for. I shouldn't have offended you, please spare me."
After saying that, he fiercely slapped himself several times, looking nothing like his arrogant self from before.
Liu Wentian gave him a cold look.
Dishonestly earned fate you might defy, self-inflicted fate you can't survive, he had no sympathy for such a person.
Zhao Hong waved her hand, and the guards beside her took Lv Chun away; Lv Chun struggled and cried out desperately, but already hollowed out by his vices, how could he possibly stand a chance against the towering and forceful guards.
Shortly after, Lv Chun disappeared from the sight of the Human Sect.
Everyone looked at Liu Wentian, their eyes inevitably filled with a hint of awe. Liu Wentian could certainly be said to have not even joined the company yet, but he had already left an indelible impression on many of its people!!
Bai Ruguo took Liu Wentian to a room on the 6th floor, her eyes glinting slyly as she said, "If you end up beaten black and blue, don't blame me, okay."
Liu Wentian smiled and, without responding, followed Bai Ruguo into the room.
Truth be told, he really didn't think Bai Ruguo could invite anyone capable of beating him black and blue, because if she had such experts around, she wouldn't have been in danger twice.
The room was large, filled with various fitness equipment, punching bags, dumbbells, barbells and even had shooting targets for practice.
Liu Wentian was amazed. The company even had firearms training facilities, which showed just how powerful Feige Entertainment really was.
In the center of the room was a boxing ring where two Zhuang Han were fighting intensely, while dozens of Zhuang Han cheered them on from below.
All these men had crew cuts and exuded an overwhelming aura, intimidating to behold.
The two on the ring were fiercely engaged, their muscles bulging like steel rods, exchanging blows that were solid and stirring up gusts of wind, making loud thuds as they fought fiercely, which was nothing like those choreographed martial arts competitions.
Liu Wentian nodded slightly, acknowledging that these men indeed had strong combat power and plenty of real combat experience, with no fancy moves wasted.
However, what's considered strong combat power was only relative to the average person. To Liu Wentian, these men were merely weak targets, full of flaws and as good as human punching bags in his eyes.
When these Zhuang Han saw Bai Ruguo walk in, the two men on the ring immediately stopped their bout, vaulted over the railing, and leaped down from the 3-meter-high ring.
"Mistress!!"
A group of strongmen called out in unison.
Bai Ruguo nodded and then, with a touch of pride, said to Liu Wentian, "These men are my bodyguards. How about it, impressive, aren't they?"
Liu Wentian nodded, "Indeed, not bad."
"Mistress, is this short and thin guy the exceptional expert you've invited?"
One of the bodyguards, a nearly 1.9-meter-tall Zhuang Han, said mockingly.
Liu Wentian, who stood at 1.78 meters, did have muscles, though they didn't look exaggerated. Yet, when compared to this giant man, he appeared much more slender and weak.
The big Han looked intimidating, as ferocious as a humanoid beast.
Liu Wentian felt puzzled. Why did these bodyguards seem to have so much hostility towards him?
What he didn't understand was that these bodyguards had been informed yesterday that someone would be coming for a job interview today. It was nothing extraordinary, but due to Zhao Hong's doubts about Liu Wentian's capabilities, she deliberately emphasized that Liu Wentian's salary was ten million every six months, that is, twenty million per year!!
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards were up in arms, feeling outdone.
All of them were veterans from various special forces, with genuine skills, but even the strongest bodyguard team leader, Xu Gang, only had an annual salary of two million. The others only had one million, and this huge salary gap made them harbor significant hostility towards Liu Wentian.
Now, seeing how frail Liu Wentian looked, with none of the airs of a true master and completely like an ordinary person, they felt even more discontent and resolved to teach Liu Wentian a lesson.
We only make two million a year, and this kid wants twenty million? Keep dreaming!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The person who spoke was named Yan Li. Among this group, his temper was the most explosive, so without waiting for Bai Ruguo to speak, he directly questioned.
Bai Ruguo paused slightly; she hadn't said that Liu Wentian was some kind of super expert. She had only told these bodyguards that someone would come for an interview today.
She didn't understand why Zhao Hong and these people thought Liu Wentian's salary was twenty million a year, because to these bodyguards, such a salary could only belong to a super expert.
Of course, Yan Li didn't really think Liu Wentian was any super expert; his words were purely sarcastic.
Although Bai Ruguo was somewhat baffled, she still said, "His name is Liu Wentian; he's here to apply for a bodyguard position today. You guys test his abilities."
Seeing the fierce light in Yan Li's eyes, Liu Wentian didn't understand why this tall guy had taken offense at him, but he couldn't be bothered to ask.
"How exactly should we test?" Liu Wentian looked towards Bai Ruguo.
Bai Ruguo then looked towards the other bodyguard team leader, Xu Gang, "Xu Gang, I don't know much about the testing, you go ahead and arrange it, I'll just watch from the side."
But before Xu Gang could speak, Yan Li, already rubbing his hands and snorting coldly, said, "Bro Xu, no need to make it so complicated. Just leave this guy to me, a mere slap should sort him out with his frail chick-like appearance."
In fact, from the moment Xu Gang first saw Liu Wentian, he had been sizing him up. He also didn't accept the annual wage offered to Liu Wentian, and after observing so long, he still couldn't see why this kid was worth so much money.
Is it a scam?? Xu Gang thought internally.
Being cautious, Xu Gang said to Liu Wentian, "Young man, I'm Xu Gang, the team leader here and a retired soldier from the Blood Wolf special forces. I'm not sure if you're also a soldier? But seeing how young you are, you probably aren't a retired soldier, are you? Hard to say, are you from an Ancient Martial Arts Family?"
When everyone heard Xu Gang's words, they all focused intensively. If Liu Wentian was indeed from an Ancient Martial Arts Family, he couldn't be underestimated.
Liu Wentian shook his head and said, "I'm not a retired soldier, nor am I from any Ancient Martial Arts Family. I'm a doctor who knows some Kung Fu."
"A doctor??"
Everyone was stunned, then someone couldn't help but burst out laughing first without understanding who it was.
Was this guy here to joke around? A doctor applying to be a bodyguard?
Xu Gang was noticeably taken aback by Liu Wentian's response, looking puzzledly towards Bai Ruguo.
Bai Ruguo's face showed some awkwardness; she genuinely didn't know if Liu Wentian really knew Kung Fu or how skillful he was.
She hurriedly explained, "Liu Wentian is very strong. That day in the hospital, the chair's leg was made of iron, and Liu Wentian just picked it up and bent it right away!!"
As she spoke, she also adorably mimicked Liu Wentian's action of bending the chair leg that day.
"Hahaha!!"
The group of bodyguards couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Holding back his laughter, Xu Gang said, "Miss, you might have been fooled. Even if a chair leg is made of iron, it's usually hollow, and even if it's not hollow, bending it isn't hard. Merely on this point, it doesn't qualify him to be a bodyguard!!"
At that moment, the chair next to Yan Li had iron legs, so he directly picked it up, sneered at Liu Wentian, and using both hands with his arm muscles bulging, he twisted the iron leg like it was clay, turning it into a twisted mess.
"Ah… this…"
Bai Ruguo was somewhat astonished, having no real understanding of what counts as a master. Seeing Yan Li display such strength, she began to doubt as well.
Was Liu Wentian really not a master, and had she made a huge blunder?
If she really had Liu Wentian tested against these bodyguards, wouldn't he end up being miserably beaten?
A somewhat despondent Bai Ruguo looked at Liu Wentian, "Liu Wentian, I'm sorry, it seems I was mistaken, shall we not test anymore?"
Liu Wentian had been very calm from beginning to end, and he still was, saying, "Why say that? Whether I can be your bodyguard should still be tested first, shouldn't it?"
"How so, kid, you still haven't given up? I advise you better scram while you can, don't overestimate yourself. You might deceive the lady, but you can't fool us!!"
The people had already decided that Liu Wentian was a fraud, and Yan Li spoke without any niceties.
Liu Wentian frowned, his expression displeased.
If it weren't for him applying for a job today and not wanting to cause trouble, based on the other party's words telling him to scram, Liu Wentian wouldn't have let the matter slide so easily.
Assessing the rude Yan Li again, Liu Wentian then looked towards Xu Gang, impatiently saying, "So how will you test? Stop dilly-dallying, what's the use of talking so much nonsense? I'm here to apply for the bodyguard position, it doesn't matter whether I'm a retired soldier or from some Ancient Martial Arts Family. If I knock you all down, won't that suffice?"
