After Shen Qingyu paid a large sum of money in the hospital, he opened the online banking to check the balance on his bank card after walking out of the hospital, and found that all his savings were only 8250.38 yuan left.

The rent will be paid again next month, and once it is paid, it will be a whole quarter.Next, he has to live frugally, until next month's wages are paid, and he should be able to barely make up for the rent.

He looked up at the sky for a while, sighed silently, and was about to go home with his pocket in his pocket, when suddenly the phone rang in his pocket.He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was Lu Ming.

He picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Senior Brother Shen!" A hearty male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you busy now?"

"Not busy." Shen Qingyu asked, "What's the matter?"

"That's right, I have something I want to discuss with you..." The other end of the phone paused for two seconds, "It might be a bit abrupt, but I think you might be interested, so I'm here to ask you."

Shen Qingyu was a little dizzy by him: "What's the matter?"

"This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it in one or two sentences." Lu Ming asked, "Where are you now? How about I treat you to lunch, so we can chat face to face."

Half an hour later, Shen Qingyu walked into the hot pot restaurant and saw that Lu Ming was already sitting in the restaurant waving to him, so he stepped forward and took a seat.

Lu Ming handed him the menu, and Shen Qingyu motioned him to order.So Lu Ming checked the menu and handed it to the waiter.

"Senior brother," Lu Ming picked up the teapot to help him pour water, "Are you still working as a coach in the gym?"

"Yes." Shen Qingyu took the water glass and thanked him.

"How about the salary?"

Shen Qingyu didn't mention the embarrassment that he was about to run out of ammunition and food, but just smiled calmly: "I eat enough for one person, and the whole family is not hungry. It's okay."

Hearing what he said, Lu Ming felt very uncomfortable.If it weren't for the incident five years ago, how could Shen Qingyu's good kung fu be buried to the point where he could only teach the white-collar workers in the gym to lose weight?He wanted to sigh a few words of regret, but looking at Shen Qingyu's peaceful eyes, he felt that saying it was just sprinkling salt on the wound, so it's better not to mention it.

"What do you want from me?" Shen Qingyu asked.

"Oh, that's right. Didn't I start a security company? You know we often provide security services to celebrities."

Shen Qingyu nodded.In the past, Lu Ming invited him to give lessons to the bodyguards trained by the company, teaching them some basic grappling skills and jujitsu.

Lu Ming went on to say: "I have a neighbor sister who has been on good terms with me since I was a child. Her name is Su An, and I call her Sister An. Her cousin is famous in the entertainment industry, and she is now doing execution for her cousin. Agent and assistant. A few days ago, she came to me and said that her cousin had encountered some troubles recently and needed to hire a personal bodyguard, and asked me to help arrange..."

Shen Qingyu didn't know why.Then what?

"Her cousin's name is Ji Jin, have you heard of it?"

Shen Qingyu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the name.

Ji Jin is very popular now, and you can often see his billboards when walking on the main road.But Lu Ming knew that Shen Qingyu was not a person who paid attention to the entertainment industry, so he specially introduced: "Ji Jin is a draft singer who came out a few years ago. He became popular when he participated in the competition, and he has been popular until now. He is very talented. Talented, all the songs he sings are written by himself..."

"I know." Shen Qingyu interrupted, "I know Ji Jin, I have watched his games, and I like him very much."

This time it was Lu Ming's turn to be surprised: "You like him? You actually know how to watch variety shows? My God, I thought you were not interested in anything except practicing!"

Shen Qingyu didn't explain, but just asked: "You are looking for me, do you want me to help you train the bodyguards arranged for Ji Jin?"

Lu Ming came back to his senses, and waved his hands again and again: "No. Originally, Sister An found me because she really wanted to pick a reliable bodyguard for Ji Jin from our company. She is familiar with me. After all, she is working for celebrities, and privacy is very important. , so she has to find someone she knows to rest assured. But the problem is that I have arranged several people to go there, and Ji Jin is not satisfied."

Shen Qingyu was puzzled.Then what?What does this have to do with him?

Lu Ming cleared his throat: "Sister An only knows me in this business, so she still hopes that I can help find a reliable candidate. They have three requirements over there. The first point is to have good skills and be able to protect Ji Jin’s safety; the second point is to have a good temper. After all, bodyguards are in the service industry, and they must be able to handle relationships with customers; He does things, and if he's not satisfied with the conditions, it's useless."

Shen Qingyu still didn't understand, but saw Lu Ming staring at him with piercing eyes.He froze for a while, then pointed his finger at his nose in disbelief: "You are looking for me... do you want me to be Ji Jin's bodyguard?"

A guilty conscience flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he smiled: "After listening to Sister An's conditions, I thought of you. Brother, you have absolutely nothing to say about your skills. How many people in the whole country can beat you? Your temper It’s okay, I haven’t seen you get angry at anyone for so many years. More importantly—how handsome are you? Ji Jin said to pick someone who is pleasing to the eye, isn’t that what you mean by face? You If he doesn't even like this face, then he can only find a woman to protect him."

Shen Qingyu: "..."

He was a little dazed by Lu Ming's flattery, and he said blankly: "But I have never been a bodyguard for anyone. There are so many people in your company, doesn't he have anyone who is pleasing to the eye?"

Lu Ming stared at the sky speechlessly.The fact is, after he sent all the photos of his company's bodyguards, Ji Jin really didn't like any of them.Su An also asked him: Is there no one in your company who looks good?

This made Lu Ming so angry!He feels that the bodyguards in his company are all decent, but they can't stand the big stars watching handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry every day. Their eyes grow to the top of their heads. In his eyes, ordinary people are like crooked melons. Jujube-like.

In order to prove that there are handsome men around him, and also to prove his ability, Lu Ming had a hot head, and before contacting Shen Qingyu, he found a photo of Shen Qingyu on his own initiative and sent it to Su An.One must know that Shen Qingyu is the most handsome person he has ever seen in reality, if even Shen Qingyu can't do it, then he really can't do anything about this matter.

——Thinking back when they were in sports school, there were a lot of handsome guys in the sports school.But only Shen Qingyu can stand out from the crowd of handsome guys, and has been sent love letters by three school beauties for three consecutive years, which has become a legend in their sports school!All the boys are so jealous of Shen Qingyu that they grind their teeth, but Shen Qingyu is also a martial arts idiot. He hardly hears anything outside the window except practicing martial arts. He hasn't had a girlfriend in three years. , It also made the campus beauties make a wrong payment from the bottom of their hearts.

All in all, after sending Shen Qingyu's photo, he got a reply from Sister An - "This is good, let him come for an interview."

So Lu Ming rushed to contact Shen Qingyu in a hurry.

"Senior Brother Shen, being a bodyguard is definitely better than your teaching in the gym." Lu Mingyou said, "I asked Sister An to be Ji Jin's personal bodyguard, and there must be [-] to [-] a month. As long as you serve well He is satisfied, and they will give out bonuses every year and Chinese New Year, and the bonuses will not be less."

Shen Qingyu originally wanted to refuse, because his current situation is not suitable for finding a long-term and stable job.But when he heard the salary and thought of the balance on his bank card, he couldn't help but hesitate.

And... that's Ji Jin...

He struggled and said, "But I have no experience, and I don't know what to do."

Although he helped Lu Ming train bodyguards, he only taught boxing kung fu.Bodyguards need to master a lot of skills in this industry, not just good skills.Just like a person who can do arithmetic alone may not be a good math teacher.

Seeing Shen Qingyu's heartbeat, Lu Ming couldn't help being overjoyed: "They don't mind that you don't have experience. Let me tell you, if you see someone approaching Ji Jin, stop him and take precautions so that no one can hurt him; You should step on the place where you want to go in advance to help him eliminate potential safety hazards. I will find someone to help you train you on these things and you will be fine-oh yes, there is also a strict mouth, don’t talk nonsense, and you can’t betray the star privacy. I believe you are okay with these, right?"

In fact, the last point is the most important, but Lu Ming is very relieved of Shen Qingyu.Shen Qingyu has a gentle temper and a calm personality. He has never been a gossip. Lu Ming can't even imagine him talking about others behind his back.

After thinking again and again, Shen Qingyu finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll try."

……

A week later, Shen Qingyu came to the building where Oriental TV Station was located.

Ji Jin's schedule is extremely busy, but he has to personally check the selection of bodyguards, so they made an appointment to conduct an interview during the break after the recording of the show.

Shen Qingyu dialed the number Lu Ming gave him, and soon a little girl ran out to pick him up.The little girl brought Shen Qingyu into the building and came to the door of an empty lounge: "Go in and wait inside, Ji Jin is still recording the show. He will come over after recording."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Qingyu walked into the room, and the little girl left, leaving him alone in the room waiting.

While waiting for someone, Shen Qingyu suddenly received a call from the landlord.

"Xiao Shen," the landlord said straight to the point, "are you going to pay the rent soon?"

"It should be handed in next month." Shen Qingyu still didn't mention his difficulties, but only promised, "I will hand it in on time."

"It's like this," the landlord said, "I'm going to raise the rent next month, by 1000 yuan a month. If you still plan to continue renting, you will pay me more when you pay me three months' rent next time." 3000 yuan."

"Increase the rent?" Shen Qingyu was surprised, "But when we signed the contract, we agreed that the rent would not change for one year, and I haven't lived for a full year yet."

"Don't talk to me about the contract! The family upstairs has the same type of apartment, and their rent is [-] a month. I only charge you [-], which has already allowed you to live for more than half a year! And I After taking your money, I want to use it to the bank to repay the mortgage, and the bank will not give me any money." The landlord is unreasonable, "If you want to continue to live, you can pay the new rent, and if you don't want to live, you can move out and find another place. place."

Shen Qingyu laughed.The so-called high-rent apartment upstairs was newly renovated, but his old house with mottled walls and rotting floors, how could it be the same?

He was about to argue with the landlord when suddenly footsteps came from outside the door.The landlord didn't seem to intend to bargain with him, so he turned off the phone immediately after the notification, and there was a beeping sound from the phone.

Right now the interview is the most important thing, Shen Qingyu is not in the mood to care about the rent, so he hastily put away his phone.

At the same time, with a click, the door handle was unscrewed from the outside, and a tall woman in a casual suit walked in.She looks to be in her early thirties, with sophisticated makeup and a sassy demeanor.Shen Qingyu saw the photo at Lu Ming's place, and immediately recognized her as Ji Jin's cousin and executive manager, the sister An, Su An that Lu Ming said.

Shen Qingyu stood up and was about to say hello to Su An when footsteps came from around the corner, and then a young man appeared at the door of the room.

The young man dyed his hair in dazzling pink-blue, wore silver ornaments on his neck and wrists, wore a jet-black flight jacket on his upper body, black overalls on his lower body, and black rivet military boots on his feet. A delicate balance has been achieved, which brings great visual impact to people.

If this kind of hair color and attire were placed on an ordinary person, it would be horrific. However, with its extremely delicate facial features, white to luminous complexion, and refined temperament, this person was as stunning as a CG effect.

Shen Qingyu stared at the man in a daze for three seconds, with only one thought in his mind: worthy of being a star...

Ji Jin walked up to Shen Qingyu and looked him up and down.His eyes were extremely bright, as if there were stars in his eyes.Shen Qingyu was staring distractedly when Ji Jin suddenly raised his eyes, and the two looked at each other.

Shen Qingyu subconsciously avoided looking, and then heard footsteps from the side.Ji Jin didn't say anything, went directly to the sofa and sat down, unscrewed a can of mineral water and drank it.

Su An closed the door of the lounge, smiled and reached out to Shen Qingyu: "You are Lu Ming's brother Shen Qingyu, right?"

"Yes, hello Miss An." Shen Qingyu shook hands with Su An hurriedly.Ji Jin's extremely bright eyes were always imprinted in his mind, but he was too embarrassed to peek at Ji Jin, so he could only talk to Su An.

Su An sized him up from head to toe, and sighed: "You are even more handsome than in the photo. It's great that you signed with our company as an artist with your appearance."

Shen Qingyu didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he smiled modestly.

"Honey, I'm telling you it's true, you look much better than some of our company's new young artists!"

Honey……?Shen Qingyu smiled awkwardly.It was his first time dealing with people in the entertainment industry, and he felt uncomfortable with this kind of familiarity and overly kindness.

Su An was so cute by his innocent appearance, when he was about to tease him again, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a water bottle next to him being heavily placed on the glass table.She could only temporarily stop the topic.

"Honey... I'll call you Xiaoyu. Come, let's sit down and talk."

Ji Jin had already monopolized one side of the sofa, and Su An pulled Shen Qingyu to sit down opposite him, and began to ask questions: "I read on your resume that you have learned Sanda, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu? You have also participated in fighting competitions and won Many prizes?"

"Ah."

"I can't tell from your appearance at all...I mean, I thought a fighter would be like Tyson. You're not big at all, you look very thin."

It was not the first time Shen Qingyu had heard people say that."I fight mixed martial arts, and I fight lightweight," he explained.

Su An doesn't know much about combat sports.Because boxing is only about boxing, boxers often have particularly well-developed upper body muscles.But mixed martial arts is the "decathlon" in fighting sports. There are no taboos in fists, legs, knees and elbows. Speed, strength, explosive power, and flexibility are all indispensable, and height will have an advantage in attack range. Many are tall and thin.As for the so-called slenderness... If Shen Qingyu took off her clothes now, she would find that the thinness of an athlete is completely different from that of an ordinary person.

Su An changed the subject: "Are you 24 years old?"

"Ah."

When Su An looked at Shen Qingyu's resume, he found that his award-winning experience was basically five years ago, and he won the awards intensively within one or two years. It seemed that he was a promising athlete at that time, but suddenly he Not playing. 24 is still a very young age, not to mention that Shen Qingyu was only 19 five years ago.Why did he retire so early?

But she didn't ask the question.Many athletes have injuries, and Shen Qingyu probably ended his sports career early because of injuries.She didn't want to expose people's scars, but she was also worried that Shen Qingyu's injury would affect his work, so she asked tactfully: "Do you think you can protect Ah Jin well with your current physical fitness and ability?"

Shen Qingyu didn't know what she was worried about, and replied cautiously: "It should be possible. I don't have experience as a bodyguard, but I will try my best to do it well."

Su An nodded, and asked again: "I'm really curious, since you haven't done this business, why are you willing to be A Jin's bodyguard?"

Shen Qingyu was embarrassed to say that he was about to run out of money to eat. As for another reason... Ji Jin was sitting next to him, and he was a little uncomfortable to let him speak in front of the Lord.

He looked down at the table, unconsciously fingernails.After being bored for a few seconds, he replied in a low voice, "Because I like Ji Jin very much."

"What did you say?" Su An didn't ask this question.

Shen Qingyu and Su An turned their heads at the same time and looked at Ji Jin beside him.

Ji Jin relaxed with his legs crossed, and his whole body was surrounded by a kind of light called self-confidence: "You said you like me? Why do you say so lightly? Is it embarrassing to like me? Speak up!"

Shen Qingyu: "..."
