The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Bruce Wayne slid the mouse to display the girl's information on the computer screen. He browsed Ma Linglong's life history several times, but found no doubts.But it doesn't mean that this person is innocent, but it intensifies Bruce's suspicion of Ma Linglong, who will move from Los Angeles to Gotham, except for those guys who have criminal records and cannot survive in other cities, they will choose to stay in hell .

Bruce kept his eyes on Ma Linglong's registration photo, and he noticed that the girl hardly left any footprints on social networking sites, and there were few photos of her life, or even none.There were many doubts, but Bruce didn't pay much attention to them. He focused more on Ma Linglong's expenses. The girl spent almost $[-] on luxury goods every month.So he checked Ma Linglong's credit card again, there was an overdraft record, but he paid it back on time every month.

Such expenses are astonishing for a girl with no family background, and where the money comes from is inexplicable enough, and Bruce can't think of any other possibility except illegal activities.

After all, the girl said that she was not a prostitute, and her high-ranking posture was indeed not like that.

"Looks like the night watch went well." Alfred the butler took a cup of coffee from his tray and put it on Bruce's right. Every time I check the other party's information before dating a girl, I will lose a lot of mystique."

"Mystery will kill me, Alfred." He took a sip of coffee, "And, I'm not going to pursue her."

"Really, that's a pity. You have followed many Asian girls in the past two years, and I thought she was one of them." Alfred said, he fully understood that the reason why his master cared about the girls on the screen was for What, even though the girl looks extremely ordinary, Bruce can always smell the conspiracy from the slightest clue.

"It's not a pity at all." Bruce said, he is sensitive and suspicious of all abnormal or seemingly ordinary signs around him, just like a bat living in a deep cave can even detect the changes of dripping water.

"Not a local?" Alfred respectfully handed over a sandwich to Bruce after drinking his coffee, which was Bruce's supper.

"From Los Angeles." Bruce said, "It can also be said to be from China, or England."

"Since the appearance of Batman, many foreigners have chosen to stay and work in Gotham. I think it is a good thing for Gotham, which shows that the law and order here has improved." Alfred said, even if Gotham It is still one of the lowest security districts in the United States.

"So someone has to be strict about it."

"You don't need to be suspicious of every stranger, but you should learn to try to accept new things." Alfred paused, "Or characters."

"She's not afraid of me, I mean, bats." Bruce's voice drops, as if he's in his black suit, "She watches me, looks me in the eye, like she's examining."

"Maybe she just thought she'd met a transvestite. You can't put her in the 'horror zone' just because people aren't afraid of 'bats.' Batman is a legend. Since you make it a fictional character, you can't expect a L.A. The British Asian girl who came here knew she was seeing Batman." Alfred said that the old man knew him, and Bruce was very attracted to mysterious beautiful girls, such as Catwoman.Since Catwoman disappeared, Bruce or Batman can also become more withdrawn, "You can try to think on the bright side, since she is not afraid of Batman, it means that she should not be a dangerous person, only criminals are afraid of bats .”

Bruce naturally thought of this. He thought that no matter whether the girl knew about the existence of Batman or not, it was worth continuing to observe: "If this person happens to go to the Wayne Group for an interview tomorrow to be Bruce Wayne's personal assistant, then, I don't think my precautions were superfluous."

"I guess you'll let her pass." Alfred made a bold guess with deep meaning, and a gentle and kind smile bloomed from the tail wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"It's hard to say." Bruce exited the tour interface, "It depends on whether the competitors in the same period are better than her, after all, she only has a high school degree."

Ma Linglong's resume has been slightly adjusted, and her university experience has been erased. She has started working in human resources, and her education background does not make her appear inferior.On the contrary, Ma Linglong's professional ability perfectly concealed her education background, so that people would not regard her lack of college education as a shortcoming that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, the interview was passed as expected, but in fact, she thought that if Bruce Wayne hadn't personally participated in the interview, the possibility of her failing was still very high.To be honest, Ma Linglong would find it funny every time Stark saw her as an agent. She didn't know what the job of an agent in the Muggle world did, but she definitely shouldn't be as aggressive as her.

Speaking of agents, it reminded Ma Linglong of the time at the Pentagon. She gave a business card to the female agent named Natasha, but she has not been able to show up so far, and Ma Linglong is quite regretful.

But Bruce Wayne didn't mind the girl's coldness. He asked the HR department to cancel her internship on the grounds that Ma Linglong had rich work experience, methodical speech, and steady behavior. Bruce directly appointed Ma Linglong as the The new private secretary.Of course, the entire company belongs to him. Even though everyone thinks that Ma Linglong's qualifications are far inferior to those of the other three applicants, all three of them have modeling experience, and their figure and public relations methods are more in line with the needs of the Wayne Group.

But Bruce has the right to pick and choose his subordinates.

Being the private secretary to the CEO of the Wayne Group is basically the dream of all the women in Gotham City. This may be the same reason why women in New York City envy Pep Potts.In addition to the salary being twice as high as that of the same position in other companies, the most important thing is that you can spy on the private life of the sexiest man in Gotham City, or if you are lucky, you can also become a part of his private life.

Although Stark described Bruce Wayne with a sarcastic tone, to be honest, Bruce was also labeled as a rich man and a playboy. Bruce was much more serious than Stark, and he relied on Spectrum much.He sits in the president's office on time every day to process documents, participates in various types of conference hosting, personally receives partners, and will not refuse social receptions (but not necessarily every one).

He loves work far more than Stark describes.

At least in Ma Linglong's eyes, Bruce was a very normal boss. He was humorous, decent and elegant, and focused and serious.

The only trouble was that he was so attractive that none of Ma Linglong's previous dozen or so secretaries could resist him.The first condition for selecting Bruce's secretary is that they must not try to seduce their boss, let alone have a relationship with the boss, which is clearly marked in the contract.Although most of the applicants showed strong professionalism during the interview, however, their professionalism and determination were all gone when they were actually implemented.

Ma Linglong guessed that the reason why Bruce still looked for a female secretary instead of a male secretary might be that it was better to have sparks with a female secretary than to be spotted by a male secretary.

Ma Linglong has been working by Bruce's side for nearly a week, and the job content is so simple that she can't help but suspect that the real reason why Bruce is willing to pay such a high salary for a secretary job who can be competent as long as he is not an idiot is that he needs a woman company.

Bruce likes to do everything by himself, even the simplest coffee, he must grind the beans himself.It was only later that Ma Linglong found out that he just concealed his vigilance and rejection. Bruce basically only asked Ma Linglong to deliver the newspaper of the day to his office every morning.

"Mr. Wayne, this is today's business newspaper. You should be interested in the news on the second edition."

"Thank you, Lilian, I'll watch it right away." Bruce smiled and called her English name, which is better pronounced than Linglong. He portrayed himself as a good boss who has no scheming and considerate subordinates, "I heard that you were fired because of your indifference to your superiors?"

"You can say that." Ma Linglong said.

"I'm really sorry for your former boss, but I still want to thank him." Bruce is quite used to the way of getting along with the new secretary. He doesn't care if Ma Linglong is enthusiastic or not, and he didn't want this at all, "He let me get A great assistant."

Ma Linglong was very efficient in doing things, especially dealing with those unwilling bed partners for him. This was the most she had done in a week: "Thank you, but I didn't do much."

Women came to the door every now and then, or called Bruce's cell phone, and Ma Linglong always had a way to make them shut up or get out.

"You mean, you think your job is too easy?" Bruce was willing to keep a suspicious person by his side, naturally for the convenience of monitoring his every move.Regardless of whether Ma Linglong's purpose in coming to Gotham is good or bad, it's still safer than letting a time bomb wander around.

"Compared with the content of my previous work, it is indeed much less."

Ma Linglong will use magic to search the entire room when Bruce is not in the office. It may involve information about Tony Stark, sometimes objects. However, Bruce is here most of the time. If he leaves , Ma Linglong had to leave work early.The entire floor is covered with surveillance cameras, including the president's office. She will not be stupid enough to leave evidence.She used distraction spells to disrupt the footage captured by the camera, and came and went with revealing spells.

But so far, Ma Linglong has not found anything.

"It seems that I have to consider increasing the burden on you." Bruce checked Ma Linglong's details thoroughly. Through various channels, Bruce found that she had contact with many rich people.But I couldn't find out what specific transactions were made, and there was no bank transfer record, maybe it was cash used.

This is interesting. Bruce is a little bit looking forward to what kind of chips Ma Linglong will use to negotiate a deal with him. He should also be on the list of rich people.

Bruce inserted the pen into the pen holder, and opened the second edition of the news that Ma Linglong said. Compared with reading the news on his mobile phone, he preferred paper-based things.He sponsored many newspapers, among which the "Daily Planet" was one of the paper media he was most concerned about, especially when Bruce later learned that Superman was also a small reporter in it.

"How did you know I was interested in this edition?"

Just as Ma Linglong was about to leave the office, Bruce asked suddenly.

It was a story about Batman, who had subdued a gold robber the night before and left behind his batarang.

"Aren't the people here all curious about Batman?" This is the news that Stark handed to Ma Linglong. Bruce Wayne has a relationship with Batman, so he will not turn a blind eye to the news of Nightcrawler. Ma Linglong Linglong just wanted to show the basic skills of a perceptive professional secretary.

But Bruce didn't think so, he could expand every word of Ma Linglong to other directions: "You seem to be from Los Angeles, right?" He asked tentatively.

"Yes."

"I'm curious, how do the Los Angeles people evaluate this monster?" Bruce tried his best to separate himself from Batman, and even in front of the media, he openly expressed his dissatisfaction with Batman's abuse of lynching.

Possibly, that was his indictment of his actions.

"I don't know." Ma Linglong replied, "I didn't know what Batman was before I came to Gotham."

"It's a pity." Bruce didn't believe what she said, but he didn't intend to expose it. Bruce showed no interest in Batman at all, "Not everyone in Gotham has a good impression of 'Bat'." He looked at Maring Long said, "Many people think that 'Bat' is scary." Because of this, Bruce turned Batman into a real legend. He hoped that when people in Gotham mentioned him, they would have expectations instead of feelings. fear.

Bruce rarely talked with Ma Linglong about topics other than work on weekdays, and even if he did, it was very brief, but today, he seemed to be planning to switch from visual observation to verbal temptation.

Ma Linglong pretended to think for a while, and only replied "Oh." She didn't think bats were scary. On the contrary, she loved this kind of creature that only appeared in the dark. She was familiar with the habits of each species of bats and their communication methods. So Ma Linglong couldn't reach a consensus with her boss, so she didn't even want to pretend to be perfunctory.

As an Animagus, Ma Linglong is formed in the form of a bat, which is closely related to the personality of the practitioner, and of course there are body shapes and personal choices.She likes the night to be greater than the day, and likes to hide in dark corners to see the subtleties. When practicing Animagus, Ma Linglong thought of an owl at first, but it may be because of her size, the owl is not suitable for her, and the moth is also Too small, and bats are the best choice.

The atmosphere in the office dropped to freezing point in an instant. Judging from the situation of Bruce and Ma Linglong getting along this week, he was a little bit about to give up the temptation.He didn't understand it himself. If Ma Linglong really had malicious intentions, her reaction to him seemed a little too cold. She was really following the terms of the contract.

Bruce thought to himself, maybe Ma Linglong's target wasn't him at all?

Ma Linglong probably realized that he had made the scene a bit cold, so he said, "I've seen Batman."

"You've seen Batman?" Bruce thought to himself, you're not keeping your word, didn't I tell you not to tell anyone?

"He told me not to tell others what I saw him." Ma Linglong said again.

"In that case, why did you tell me?" Bruce nodded subconsciously, as if answering the other party as Batman, oh, miss, so you still remember my advice.

"I didn't promise him again."

Bruce recalled the scene at that time, the girl did not answer his question, maybe next time he should wait for the other party to nod before leaving: "So what was this guy doing at that time, he didn't seem to be easy to see, it seems that you are very lucky, Not even a lot of people in Gotham have seen this guy, I heard he is a little more polite to women than men?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "He regarded me as a prostitute just because I was walking around at night in short skirts. I thought that people like him would not define women like this because of what they wore, so I I don't think he's polite at all."

"Oh, that's really sorry," Bruce said automatically, and then he added, "I mean, I apologize on behalf of the people of Gotham, Batman is a jerk. It's not safe to walk around at night in a skirt though , although the law and order in Gotham City is better than ten years ago, it is best to stay at home after seven o'clock."

"Thanks for the advice, do you need any other services, Mr. Wayne?"

"Lillian, I have to say, you are really the most professional secretary I have ever met." Bruce smiled warmly again.

"Because I value this job."

"So, there is a charity auction at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York tomorrow night, and I hope you can go with me," Bruce said.

Ma Linglong was familiar with all of Bruce's schedules. Of course, she knew about the auction tomorrow night. She also wanted to check Bruce Wayne's computer when he had daily activities.It was the only thing in the CEO's office that Ma Linglong hadn't touched, but it was also the most likely to preserve the criminal evidence.Every time Bruce would carry his computer with him, but Ma Linglong guessed that if there was an event tomorrow, it would be impossible for him to keep the computer at hand all the time.

"Me?" So she didn't want to go, but she couldn't show it, "I remember that Miss Brown from the sales department should go with you. She has memorized the names of all the guests for you."

"She's unwell." Bruce said, "Your image just fits the theme of the auction, and, I want to give you more work, you asked for it yourself, didn't you. There are many antiques from China on site, I think if you If it is here, I should be able to pick a few valuable things."

"Is it overtime?"

Bruce couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth to a high angle, which turned him into a heart-pounding heartthrob: "Forget it, according to the contract." It was the first time he heard his female subordinate ask this question This kind of problem, the female subordinates of the whole company would rather spend thousands of dollars out of their own pockets to order a dress, and would not let go of the opportunity to attend high-end places with Bruce, but Ma Linglong actually thought it was overtime, "The dress will be held tonight." directly to your home."

"Thank you, I have."

Bruce was rejected again, feeling inexplicable frustration hit his heart, he nodded as if he didn't care, and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

The next day, in the hours before the banquet, the appearance of Ma Linglong really made Bruce Wayne deeply realize that it was the right choice to replace Brown, and his dance partner was like walking out of a meticulous painting Chinese girls are delicate and delicate, just like ceramics.He was sure that once he arrived at the scene, Ma Linglong would become the target of media reporters rushing to take pictures.

"It doesn't look like a cheongsam?" Bruce finally couldn't help asking. He and Ma Linglong were sitting in the back seat of an extended Lincoln car. The cabin was spacious, and there was a table with red wine in the center, a typical rich man's car. .

Ma Linglong is wearing a red dress, made of silk chiffon, with black bamboo leaf embroidery at the overlapping collar, extending to the hem in a very ingenious arrangement, Bruce can see that the workmanship of the whole dress It is very particular about tailoring, and it is by no means a style that can be bought anywhere in the market.It not only has the slim fit of a cheongsam, but also has a stack of elegant gauze, and the side with high slits is studded with red crystals.

Ma Linglong was holding a black handbag with bamboo leaves embroidered with red silk thread. She shook the hollowed-out shawl on her shoulders and said calmly, "There's more than just cheongsam in China."

The author has something to say: Actually, I always thought that Afu should be called "Steward Man", the fighter in the housekeeper.
