Chapter 4

"Not settling." Lan Yan rejected it without a second thought

Li Yonghua quickly put on a smile and jogged over, "Hello, Director Lan."

Lan Yan was too lazy to argue with her, and he looked out the window

"To swindle money." The blue flame responded loudly

The blue flame flickered at the corner, and with a clenched fist, he swung it towards her face, "What on earth are you here for! I am your employer. Employer, do you understand! If I am unhappy, I will not pay you a single cent"

Facial paralysis is an illness that requires treatment

The blue flame elegantly exited the factory premises. After glancing around at the entrance for a while, he said with displeasure, "What kind of place is this, I can't even see a taxi."

He gradually showed a smile, "Director Dao, I have heard that your skills are quite impressive"

Yin Xiaodao navigated to the hotel according to the address on the order

Lan Yan looked up at the sun and said, "I just arrived today, and it's scorching hot. Director Dao and I will settle our luggage this afternoon, and then we won't be going to work."

Understood

This is truly a statement that makes him grit his teeth in anger. He took a deep breath and reminded himself not to stoop to her level. Once his breathing calmed down, he forced a smile and said, "Hey, you've been with me for a few days now, and I haven't seen you smile yet."

"I do not understand public relations." Yin Xiaodao looked at those terms, not quite grasping their true meaning. What princess, what butterfly.

I do not know. She has not been there, so she cannot make a prediction

After waiting for another 5 minutes, the road was filled with trucks, raising clouds of dust.

After the conversation over there, he became even more impatient, "Who are you, old lady! When did I ever agree to a lifelong commitment with you? Do you have no shame?"

As he exited the office building, Lan Yan saw Li Yonghua discussing matters with a foreman. At that moment, he recalled something and waved his hand, "Director Li, come over for a moment"

The roads here are difficult to navigate, and the small van bumps along, making for an uncomfortable ride

His gaze wandered among the men and women

Lan Yan and Yin Xiao Dao were seated on the sofa in the hall

"I did not ask for your opinion." His statement is declarative, not interrogative

I will take care of it right away. However..." Li Yonghua paused, hesitatingly saying, "It would be best if we could rent a place in a nearby residential area, but I am afraid there might not be any available housing temporarily. The factory does have dormitory accommodations. How about... you make do for now?

A surge of air rushed up from his chest, "You wait, one day I will surely bite you to death." Sooner or later!

Yin Xiaodao looked over

She searched her memory for two seconds, "There is none within my line of sight"

Lan Yan curled her lips and turned to ask, "Director Dao, do you know how to drive?"

He gazed at the distant mountains and hummed a few lines of song

He pressed his lips together, the displeasure in his eyes not yet dissipated, deep blue and profound

It is a typical roadside eatery.

If it is not funny, then do not laugh

That was a hotel public relations job listing, prominently featuring the words "monthly salary of 50,000".

Until a tall and handsome young man entered, embracing a plump middle-aged woman

You truly are foolish. Lan Yan was utterly frustrated, "Forget it. Just by looking at that factory, one can tell that the factory manager's salary isn't that high. Let's go beg instead."

He was irritable, "Is this all you are taking when you go out?"

"I will not be present when you are bathing, using the restroom, or taking drugs." As he said this, Yin Xiaodao glanced at him sideways

The blue flame looked around but did not see any restaurant of a slightly higher standard, so it had no choice but to give up

He didn't get to eat, the movie was not good, and the internet was so laggy that he felt like throwing his computer. He casually tossed aside his headphones, feeling sullen, and said, "Director Dao, let's go. Let's go out for afternoon tea."

He was awakened by a phone call

Yes. She does not look away.

The services of the hotel are divided into two categories: standard and special. There are also several regular guests at the front desk checking in

I refuse," Yin Xiaodao replied

Very good. The blue flame finally feels a bit balanced, "You drive, I sleep. A golden partnership."

After finishing his meal, Lan Yan noticed a bank across the street and decided to go there to withdraw some money. His cash was limited, and he still had to take care of Yin Xiaodao's living expenses for the next three months

The blue flame was not truly begging. He wandered aimlessly on the street and inadvertently caught sight of a flyer posted on the bus stop sign, squinting his eyes.

Yin Xiaodao was driving and had just covered one kilometer when the sound of blue flames roaring began to resonate.

Lan Yan walked out of the bank, took out his wallet and glanced at it, "Director Dao, how much money do you have?"

The blue flame is unhappy

The most important phrase of the Blue Flame is, "We are here to make money, not to compete in martial arts. When navigating the world, harmony is of utmost importance. Remember this well."

Lan Yan understood that the Lan family had thrown him and Yin Xiaodao here to let them fend for themselves. "Then I will arrange for you to arrange for me."

"Sword Guard." The Blue Flame smiled. "Make way, leave the palace."

Yin Xiaodao looked up at him

He recalled the other person's words and suddenly turned to ask Yin Xiaodao, "Director Dao, you have been by my side these past few days, haven't you"

"Do you look down on the factory director?" With his high eyebrows and a dismissive gesture, he replied, "I wouldn't even look at you, old lady."

Before getting out of the blue flame, he said, "Stay calm no matter what you see later."

What shall we do then

She calmly stated, "The contract stipulates that for the next three months, I am entirely at your service."

The decor of the hotel is gaudy and ostentatious, characterized by a lavish display of red lights and wine.

Then... shall I first book a hotel for you

Sure. She is usually not surprised

At that moment, the vehicle drove over a large pothole, jolting slightly. Lan Yan nearly hit the roof of the car; after steadying himself, he asked again, "Have I ever been in a state of confusion and made a private lifelong commitment with anyone?"

Why? Sometimes he doesn't even know whether this woman has problematic values or is just a bit dim-witted. When his urges come, she doesn't show the slightest hint of disapproval.

Yin Xiaodao responded immediately. She did not express any opinion regarding his itinerary.

The car is parked in the parking lot across the street

She is not particularly attractive, and she has no breasts. He glanced at her twice and could not bear to look any longer

Conservatively estimating, what are the chances of us safely coming out if we go to this place? He hopes that she is truly as extraordinary as the rumors suggest.

Yin Xiaodao nodded. Seeing his drowsy appearance, she was also reluctant to entrust the control of the vehicle to him

Lan Yan decisively hung up the phone

You cannot defeat me

Hmm. The blue flame smiled more brightly than the sunlight, "I want a big bed room"

more than three hundred

Had I known this, I would not have spent that 3,600. Lan Yan was very angry, as he did not expect the Lan family to freeze his card.

Later at the bank, he shouted profanities, attracting the strange gazes of the crowd. Even the lobby manager was somewhat startled

When Lan Yan opened his eyes, a cold light flashed. He answered the phone, his tone chilling, "No matter who you are, if you stand in my way, you will die"

Lan Yan let out a cold laugh, "Indeed, a bunch of beasts." After a pause, he fixed his gaze on Yin Xiaodao, "Don't you find it strange? They are a room full of ruffians, with such great power, why would they still need to hire you as a bodyguard?"

Alright. Yin Xiaodao has always been very calm

Do not be too surprised when encountering a movie that I enjoy watching. Although he is quite looking forward to her other expressions

I am no longer a manager; please call me the factory director

"You flatter me." In fact, her brother has better prospects than she does

Li Yonghua was indeed surprised, "The higher-ups said that this matter is for you, the factory director, to arrange as you see fit"

Li Yonghua learned that the two of them were going out for a meal, so he gave them directions

Since this woman cannot be driven away, let us see how long she can extend his life

Oh. Blue Flame is not enthusiastic about the factory matters; he is more concerned about whether there is a large bed to sleep in at night. "Where will Director Dao and I be staying during this time?"

Blue Flame was even more suspicious, "Over five hundred thousand kilometers and still not scrapped?"

The public vehicle in the factory area is an old, dilapidated van

He felt reassured, "You have been sticking to me for twenty-four hours, what is there to distinguish?"

Yin Xiaodao ignored the fist before him, his voice flat, "I am only responsible for ensuring your safety for three months. I do not take responsibility for illegal matters"

The blue flame scoffed, "At this level, it would be a miracle to reach 50,000."

Lan Yan choked slightly. This was indeed the first time someone had so straightforwardly yet calmly uttered those two words. "Are you afraid?" He suddenly became curious and leaned forward to look at her

Unaware of who the other party is, a single call goes unanswered; after two calls, if there is still no response, a series of calls follows in quick succession

Yin Xiaodao was also surprised. The situation of this second young master was somewhat strange. However, if the Lan family did not value him, then why did they ask her to protect him

"It can. " Li Yonghua patted the car door, "It has already run over 500,000 kilometers."

"Go ahead." Li Yonghua nodded, "You all should rest early. Tomorrow, I will report to you about the factory's matters."

Although the restaurant is simple, the food is still quite delicious

He looked her over and said, "If you want to be that way, you first need to undergo plastic surgery"

Li Yonghua agreed. As he was leaving, he glanced at Yin Xiaodao, contemplating whether he should also arrange accommodation for her. However, since Lanyan did not take the initiative to mention it, Li Yonghua felt it was inappropriate to bring it up.

I am not ill

Well maintained. Li Yonghua is very confident in the car's performance, "Sometimes we even use it to haul goods."

The two individuals arrived at a small restaurant

I do not know," she said truthfully, "My father sent me here.

When Lan Yan saw it, he looked closely for quite a while and asked, "Can this car still run?" He felt that the chances of it falling apart halfway were quite high

She gazed directly at the road ahead, "Not afraid."

Certainly

After he sat down, he looked at the menu and said, "Director Dao, have another bowl of rice." Having spent a few days together, he had witnessed her large appetite; she ate more rice than he did

The expression on Lan Yan's face darkened further, "Director Dao, go steal a car for me."

Lan Yan had made a decision in her heart, "For the sake of money, I will go all out. Together, we only have 500 yuan now, and we need to last for three months."

"Alright," she replied. Regardless of what he said, she only needed to fulfill her own responsibilities.

Lan Yan sought out Li Yonghua again, requesting him to arrange a vehicle
