Chapter 3: To be a bodyguard or to farm, that is the question
Liu Jing counted the small change on her person, which was enough to take a bus to the countryside
The price is negotiable, we can discuss it.
Obey the command
Liu Jing lowered her head and continued to hesitate
A few people exchanged glances, stunned for a few seconds. A young and handsome martial arts school graduate, full of youthful vigor and eager to show off, performed a flashy staff routine. Several charming individuals stepped forward to Liu Jing. Liu Jing stood straight like a tall pine tree, while the person in front of her twirled the staff in a dazzling manner, reminiscent of a performance by a martial artist. One oblivious fellow even clapped and shouted from below: "Good! Truly beautiful!"
A Meng frowned and said, "You have no relatives at all. Where are you going after leaving Beijing?"
Dear Mother in Heaven, my daughter has been very unhappy lately. Throughout my life, I have been using my father's money to present myself as a girl who appears very happy and joyful, but my happiness and joy come at a cost. Mother, I want to grow up, I want to change. I do not want to continue living in this muddled way. I do not want to be a spoiled young lady whom others dislike. I also do not want others to think that I can easily obtain everything without effort. I do not want to continue living in this muddled way. I do not want to be a spoiled young lady whom others dislike. I also do not want others to think that I can easily obtain everything without effort.
Such words that undermine others' ambitions while diminishing one's own authority have, without a doubt, firmly grasped this wayward child's ears with both hands
A Meng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "You really are not greedy. However, this price is not high. If you take good care of Miss Tong, I guarantee that in two or three years you will be able to afford a house in Beijing... Xiao Jing, it must not feel good to be driven out onto the street, right? Working with me, the hard work you put in will definitely yield equal rewards. Remember, things that are sold cheaply will not be cherished by anyone, and that goes for bodyguards as well."
Liu Jing thought for a moment, feeling somewhat troubled, "It can only be kept a secret for protection, and it must not be known to the young lady, right?"
Comrade Liu Jing, what is the duty of a soldier
In the late night, Tong Xiaotong's Weibo, after a long period of silence, finally had new updates
Háng Háng asked: "Xiǎo Tóng, why aren't you leaving?"
Liu Jing reined in her smile, "My comrade's father has a fish pond and a vegetable greenhouse in the countryside"
Isn't that girl in the blue dress someone we've seen before?
Another person emerged from behind the sandbag and wiped the sweat from his face, asking, "Are you the one cleaning up?"
A Meng clapped his hands in appreciation and nodded, "The special forces have trained you well. However, if I had continued to be your instructor back then, you would be even stronger than you are now. But as a bodyguard, this is already more than enough. Trust me, you have great potential in this line of work. The best bodyguard is not determined by how big you are; the more unexpected and unprepared you are at critical moments, the more effective you can be, just like you."
I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful father. However, beyond this fortune, I also want to try to take my first step in life, to break free from my father's embrace, and learn to fly on my own. Everyone tells me that learning to fly is very difficult, and falling down is also very painful. Yet, a life without pain is incomplete.
Mom in heaven, I want to become a beautiful flight attendant like you. You met Dad on the plane and began your most beautiful life. Can I also transform into a beautiful butterfly like you and find my own garden?
"Xiao Jing, where are you going?" A pair of military boots appeared in front of her, as A Meng tilted his head and lit a cigarette.
If it cannot be completed, do everything possible to accomplish the task as much as possible
Seeing this situation, the crowd disregarded everything and rushed forward in a show of numbers. However, Liu Jing's slender body moved with the agility of a cat leaping on tree branches, seemingly on tiptoe. Their brute strength could easily have broken her bones, yet these immensely strong men could not even touch a single hair on her body. Every forceful strike they delivered was effortlessly transformed by her into soft, yielding water, and her hand strikes always accurately targeted the most vulnerable parts of their bodies. In less than half a moment, those who had been standing were all lying on the ground, panting and regaining their senses.
A Meng asked: "Why not directly inform the young lady that she is currently at the center of malicious competition? Before she signs the contract, all threats are present. Would it not be better for her to cooperate as much as possible?"
Xiao Tong pouted, "Is it really that serious?"
Tong Xiaotong cried inconsolably, "Dad, I have spent so much of your money as I grew up, yet I have never truly helped you in any meaningful way. I am willful and often make you angry, but you have never scolded me even once. How many generations of misfortune did you endure to end up with a debt collector like me?"
Although she knew this was one of the tricks of the cunning, resorting to soft tactics when hard ones failed, Tong Yeyong still felt an overwhelming sense of heartache upon seeing her daughter cry like this. She pulled her close and comforted her, saying, "It's late at night, just skip the nonsense like your father and speak directly. Your crying is like a little knife stabbing at my heart!"
Hang Hang and Qing Tian stood behind, looking at Old Master Tong with their innocent little eyes
Well, this child is quite remarkable. It is surprising that such a coincidence occurred because he was expelled for defending my precious one. He also has a proper appearance, looking nothing like a bodyguard.
Tong Yerong circled around Liu Jing, her eyes scrutinizing him like X-rays, examining even the shapes of his internal organs several times.
A Meng still wanted to say something, but Liu Jing took over the conversation, "I understand, Boss Tong, I will take good care of her"
Everyone looked at him simultaneously, as if they had discovered the last fool of this century, and they even applauded. Did you think this was a performance?
Háng Háng suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, it might be Uncle's mistress?"
Liu Jing waved her hands in a hurry, "I didn't mean that. Instructor, if you take me in and provide for my food and accommodation, three thousand would be more than enough."
Execute ! ''
Liu Jing sat in the waiting hall, silently staring at the crowd coming and going from the south and north, when suddenly she felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness
Tong Yerong and A Meng exchanged a glance, while the old man desperately gestured at him with his eyes
Complete the task
Liu Jing was startled, "Instructor A Meng, what are you doing here?"
Old Master Tong imagined the scene again, where Tong Xiaotong stood under the airplane with pliers, laughing heartily at the sky. Twenty minutes after takeoff, due to mechanical failure, there was a chorus of screams, and the next day all the pilots fled to other airlines. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, you might as well become a flight attendant; at least being a flight attendant won't cost lives"
... ... ''
Tong Xiaotong saw a somewhat familiar figure emerge from her home and get into a Jeep from a distance, but she couldn't recall where she had seen that person before after thinking for a long time
It is ! ''
Old Master Tong waved his hands vigorously, "No, no, you don't know that troublesome girl's temper. She hates being monitored the most. If she finds out you are a bodyguard, you won't be able to get within three meters of her. But now is a special period; I am standing at the forefront of the storm. Even the incident with Xiaotong being pranked might have been orchestrated by my competitors. Therefore, your appearance has solved my biggest problem. My daughter is my greatest treasure. If you can help protect my treasure, I can focus on the contract negotiations. " He walked to the opposite side of the sofa and looked at the safe embedded in the wall, sighing. "For information on this new model that can change the landscape of the aviation industry, those foreign devils must be dying to get it. To sink their teeth into this juicy piece of meat, they will surely stop at nothing. So..."
A Meng placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it firmly, "And you wouldn't want the young lady to be in danger; you are friends, aren't you?"
Liu Jing instinctively stood up straight.
Yes!
This idea is too poetic for Liu Jing to comprehend. It was not until today, when she was unceremoniously thrown out onto the street by her landlord for failing to pay the rent, that she suddenly wondered if the Shanxi girl would have danced with envy if she were still alive.
Liu Jing stammered, "That Meng Ge, please spare me, I think I should just resign... I will go to the countryside to farm tomorrow..." It's one thing to lie, but to even try to learn to be a flight attendant, she definitely won't make it
This stern shout seemed to transport her back to her training days in the military, and she instinctively stood at attention, placing her hands behind her back, "Yes!"
At 8 PM in the Tong family's grand residence, Liu Jing was dressed in a light blue dress, her flowing black hair styled with straight bangs. She wore a light touch of makeup on her face, and apart from her slightly awkward gait in 8-centimeter high heels, she appeared to be a delicate and precious light beauty, easily toppled over.
We are not afraid of hardship
10,000
In order to ensure the safety of innocent passengers, I had no choice but to agree
How did I end up here? You asked how I ended up here? If I had arrived a little later, would you have left?
"You are not a cleaner; you need to sign up to become a flight attendant, and be in the same class as her... Although you do not meet the requirements in various aspects, it would still be quite easy for General Tong to use some personal connections to arrange for you to get in."
A Meng nodded, "Very good! The employer has scheduled a meeting with me at 8 PM, and there are still... four hours until work time. During these four hours, I will assign you a temporary task!"
Tong Yerong smiled bitterly: "Ameng, you will understand once you get married and have children in the future. No father wishes for his daughter to bear psychological burdens or live under pressure. I do not expect her to achieve great success; the money I earn is enough to ensure she will never have to worry about food and clothing for her entire life, as long as she is happy."
Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, "Anyway, I have to attend the aviation school, how about I go to the class for aircraft maintenance and repair?"
Indeed, I am the bodyguard of her father. Now, her father has entrusted me with her protection, which is why I realized that you have also transitioned to a new line of work when Miss Tong came to your aid that night. " Ah Meng shook off the ash from his cigarette, "Accommodation and meals are all included, and the monthly salary during the probation period is 10,000. How does that sound? Are you interested?"
Tong Yerong looked into her eyes, pure and free of impurities, and felt an inexplicable sense of calm from this statement
Liu Jing was utterly shocked, "Instructor, am I going to be a bodyguard or go on a blind date?"
Tong Xiaotong suddenly burst into tears, "Tong Yerong, you said it was not easy for you to raise me with your own hands, right? When I kicked the door, you didn't scold me for being unruly, and you were even afraid I would hurt my foot. You have this kind of tolerance; even a stone could hatch a swan, right?"
Hang Hang nodded seriously, "Rest assured, Uncle, we will strive to avoid being expelled!"
Tong Xiaotong stood with her hands on her hips, looking fierce. "Stop with all the nonsense. Your task is to help me convince my dad to let me attend the aviation school, and with both of you going along, I don't see what reason he could have to refuse! Now, the spicy flight attendant operation begins, the first battle, attack!"
Number 602
Liu Jing was a bit frantic. As for the cleaner, that could be overlooked, but to say she would become a flight attendant, not to mention Tong Xiaotong, even she herself couldn't believe it. She quickly waved her hand and shook her head, "No, no, no, no, how could I play the role of a flight attendant? Anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't believe that, right?"
As a soldier, you must be prepared to accept all challenges and absolutely cannot say no
What is the duty of a soldier on the battlefield
"Eh? Empty school? ... ..." Liu Jing hesitated for a moment, widened her eyes, "Could it be that I am being asked to become ... ... a cleaner?"
In fact, she did not know many people in the countryside; it was the father of an old comrade who was growing mushrooms in a greenhouse and happened to be in need of extra hands. During her time in the army, Liu Jing was the youngest in the team and had a gentle and composed demeanor. Whenever someone needed help, she would never refuse. It is unclear who gave her the nickname, but in any case, no one called her by her name; everyone referred to her as "Little Screw".

It is unclear who gave her the nickname, but in any case, no one called her by her name; everyone referred to her as "Little Screw".
She lost her parents at a young age, and her understanding of her father's image is limited to some vague concepts she has read in books, such as "a father's love is like a mountain." A mountain is a great and unshakable entity, and Liu Jing has never been able to experience this emotion. To be honest, it is impossible not to feel regret. At this moment, she suddenly and clearly felt this emotion, the great and unshakable love of a father, like a mountain.
What if the task cannot be completed
On a sunny day, with a chuckle, "The one who can come and go in your house is probably the daughter of your father's friend, right? It's normal to have met her."
Tong Yerong was choked by the smoke and kept coughing
How can I protect her? If I become a cleaner, won't I be exposed immediately? Is there really such a coincidence in the world? She wouldn't believe it, would she?
Tong Xiaotong?" Liu Jing widened her eyes
"You have studied martial arts for so many years just to raise fish?" A Meng scoffed, "What a promising future."
Hángháng's eyes turned, "Uncle, do you agree?"
Even a small screw is better than being completely unnecessary
The most important aspect of becoming a bodyguard in a security company is to take action, consider it an examination. Liu Jing set down her bag, tied her hair back, and with her bright, round eyes, surveyed the people around her. "Then I must offend you, but I do not like to use weapons like ASP. Since this is a sparring session, I won't use my preferred weapons either, so why not all come at me together, just to the point."
On a sunny day, with you all accompanying her, uncle can rest assured
Old Master Tong calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, "The daughter has been well educated"
Then you should prepare well, as you will report to the Air Force Academy next Wednesday
Mother, please bless me. When I am flying in the sky, am I closer to you?
In the office building within the Fourth Ring Road, the security company has a spacious training room equipped with punching bags, treadmills, and various muscle-strengthening equipment. Several burly men are practicing combat skills. A Meng enters with Liu Jing through the door, and the man named Sun Wei, who is practicing with a telescopic baton, stops and says, "Meng Ge, have you brought back a little stray cat?"
"Daughter, calm down. Your father feeds you only imported formula milk. Why would I want a swan? My daughter is no less than a swan!" Old Master Tong hurriedly wiped his daughter's tears, "Alright, alright, be good. Let's talk things over properly."
Today is your first day on the job, and being a bodyguard is not the same as being a special forces soldier. You are an elite, a dagger; you are accustomed to offense, but being a bodyguard is quite the opposite—it is about defense. Aside from executing special secret protection tasks, most of the time, the enemy is in the dark while you are in the light. You must consider yourself a shadow of the person you are protecting, and you cannot prioritize your own safety. The employer has paid a hefty sum for us, and at critical moments, it is your duty to take the bullet... Your job is to shield your charge from all harm directed at them; you are the shield, and when necessary, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourself." A Meng suddenly shouted, "Liu Jing!"
I want to go to the grassroots for some training, I am determined to become a flight attendant! Moreover, Hang Hang and Qing Tian will accompany me, so you need not worry!
In the past, when I was in the special forces, my roommate, a girl from Shanxi, would spend her days holding an old, paint-chipped tape recorder, listening to tapes that were so worn they could be considered antiques. Moreover, the girl from Shanxi was particularly sentimental, and her favorite song was "The Olive Tree" written by the female author San Mao.
Three individuals assumed a triangular formation, fiercely charging into the study of the old master. The old master nearly bit his pipe in half, hurriedly standing up, "Oh dear, my little ancestors, even if the door is broken, does it not hurt your feet!"
As the applause subsided, the girl, who had been as still as a pine tree, suddenly kicked her opponent's leg at the moment he approached. In the instant he knelt down, her hand struck cleanly across the back of his neck. From the moment he attacked to the time he lay on the ground in a daze, only a few seconds had passed, leaving the applauding crowd with their mouths agape in sheer astonishment
A Meng sighed and said, "Xiao Jing, come help me. I need you to protect someone, and that person seems to have a good relationship with you. You lost your job because of her, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to accept a job now, right?"
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, pulled her ears, causing her to beg for mercy
A Meng cleared his throat and said, "It is like this, the young lady is going to become a flight attendant, so you must go along as well"
The recent encounter with several colleagues suddenly reminded Liu Jing of the exhilarating feeling she experienced during past missions, causing her spirit to surge. Her round eyes sparkled as she looked at him. A Meng took out a credit card from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Your task is to get a new hairstyle and buy a few new outfits, including high heels and short skirts, so that you can dress beautifully to meet the employer tonight"
After finishing her training every day, Liu Jing was so tired that all she wanted was a good sleep. Meanwhile, the girl from Shanxi stood by the window, gazing at the distant mountains and singing in a hoarse voice: "Don't ask me where I come from, my hometown is far away, why do I wander, ... wandering, far away ..." The girl from Shanxi had a penchant for wandering, hoping that one day after retiring, she would encounter her beloved, who roamed the world with a sketchpad on his back.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I was fired. Living alone in Beijing is too difficult, so I plan to leave"
The mountain is a great and unshakable entity, and in this moment, she suddenly felt this emotion clearly, a great and unshakable love of a father, as steadfast as a mountain
Friend? ... ... Perhaps it is.
Liu Jing smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your trust, when can I start working?"
On a sunny day, in a hurry, he also began to flatter, "Uncle is truly adorable, we all know that Uncle will definitely support such endeavors that benefit humanity!"
Xiao Tong cupped her father's face and gave him a hard kiss, wiping his face with a handful of mucus, "Dad, you are really good."
Close protection can only be provided by women; these big men won't even be able to get close enough to offer protection. Do you think we can enter the bathroom or shower room? Are we supposed to undergo castration and gender reassignment or something?
Tong Yeyong knew that he could not persuade this little madman at all, yet he was still making a final struggle, "Daughter, being a flight attendant is not as glamorous and elegant as you imagine; it is truly very hard work."
"It is not about you pretending to be a flight attendant, but rather about learning how to be one," A Meng circled around her and said, "Look at you, you can barely pass as presentable when standing still, but once you move, you become quite rough. Anyway, you don't really need to become a flight attendant; at the very least, you should learn how to be a woman."
However..." Liu Jing lowered her head awkwardly, "Such matters..."
She suddenly choked up, lowering her head to look at her toes, her lips tightly pressed together
I mean, the teacher will have a hard time teaching you, and as a flight attendant, the passengers will also have a tough time. They will be very scared and may not dare to fly. Tong Yerong tried hard to persuade, and he could almost see his daughter pouring coffee on a passenger's face while shouting, "What kind of person do you think you are to make me serve you?" It was a scene too terrible to behold. Moreover, with Hanghang and Qingtian, the two troublemakers, the three of them together would drive all the passengers into collective depression.

A Meng smiled, sat down on the ground, and said, "Cleaning? Sure... If she can't even handle you all, then she can only come to clean up."
