The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 24 - 16: The Little Bodyguard and the Big Manager

Chapter 24: Chapter 16: The Little Bodyguard and the Big Manager

At this moment, in the executive office on the ninety-ninth floor of Yunhai Mansion, a stunningly beautiful woman stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the vehicles on the road below that looked as small as ants. The air was filled with the fresh and elegant scent of orchids, and Chopin’s lyrical piece flowed gently, like water, into every corner of the hall.

With reserved elegance and profound learning, the woman exuded an aura of serenity and detachment, her calm demeanor resembling a Moon Palace Fairy descended to the mortal world. Yet she also possessed a steadfast aura honed by experience in the corporate world. This gave her a dual personality: one of tranquil nobility, and another full of alluring danger!

The door softly opened a crack, and the beautiful assistant Xiaowan quietly entered with a stack of documents, breaking the brief tranquility,

"CEO, the reception downstairs reports that the young master has arrived..."

"Call him Lin Mu from now on!"

"Yes, CEO!" Xiaowan quickly corrected herself but soon added with a smile, "The receptionist is really amusing; she said the young master... oh, said he’s mentally ill, haha."

"Oh, why is that?"

"His behavior is quite unusual; he just came up using the CEO’s private elevator? And he also hit Manager Liu Hui from HR earlier!"

"Oh, by the way, have you found any results from the investigation into Liu Hui’s embezzlement case I asked you to look into last time?"

"Yes, it was indeed Liu Hui, but he immediately covered up the financial chain, so there was no loss."

"Hmm, understood," Sophie said indifferently. "Xiaowan, what important meetings and activities do we have today?"

"CEO, at 11:00 AM is the regular managerial-level meeting. The managers will gather at the door in five minutes."

"Anything else?"

"At 11:40, there’s the international trade manager meeting, which lasts half an hour. At 12:30, it’s the tourism manager meeting. In the afternoon, at 1:30 PM, there’s the group GM-level regular meeting. At 2:30 PM, you need to attend the Pearl River Delta speedboat race site for a ribbon-cutting and award ceremony. In the evening at 7:00 PM, there’s the shipbuilding plant’s collective conference, with dinner together with the workers in the canteen. At 9:00 PM, there’s the Wancheng socialite meeting, lasting four and a half hours, ending at one in the morning."

It’s too busy, almost robotic work rhythm. However, Sophie was already used to this. She just furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly and said, "Later, please bring him to me, and reschedule all of the group’s meetings for tomorrow."

"CEO, the managerial-level meeting you..." Xiaowan was stunned, this was the first time she saw Sophie cancel an important company senior meeting for a man, which astonished her greatly.

"Do as I say, go prepare!" Sophie commanded in an indisputable tone.

"What about the 11 o’clock meeting later?"

"You just attend it in my place, haha, haven’t you been standing in for me these past few days?"

"Uh, fine,"

Xiaowan was once again amazed, it seemed this man’s charm was indeed great!

Outside in the reception hall, Lin Mu was growing impatient, after being left unattended during work hours, it was too dismissive of them not to take into account his status as the new young master!

But just as he was about to reach his limit, the door to the CEO’s office moved, and a beautiful figure flashed out.

"You are..."

Lin Mu froze, feeling like he had seen this beauty before.

"Are you Lin Mu?"

Xiaowan was also surprised, wasn’t this her great benefactor who risked his life for her on the train blocking the bullet?

But at that time, she was in disguise, made up to look like Sophie, and since she naturally bore some resemblance to Sophie, Lin Mu didn’t recognize her immediately. Even the four assassins on the train mistook her for the real Sophie and were subsequently lured to their doom!

"Benefactor!"

Xiaowan rushed over and tightly grasped Lin Mu’s hand. "These days, I’ve been sending people to look for you but never expected to meet you here!"

"It’s a trivial matter, don’t worry about it!"

Lin Mu smiled nonchalantly, to him, it really was nothing. Compared to those days of fiery warfare in Africa, this was indeed insignificant.

"Alright, I’ll thank you properly another day, but today is official business, so please come to the CEO’s office for a chat first!" Xiaowan gestured invitingly.

"Okay, sure!" Lin Mu didn’t hold back. Since they had come to fetch him, being a little late wasn’t a big deal, especially since she was a girl, and such a beautiful one!

But just as they entered the CEO’s office, a group of people suddenly flooded in, and Lin Mu noticed that the fat guy he had dealt with earlier in the hall was also among them.

Of course, that fat guy, Manager Liu Hui from HR, also saw Lin Mu, and immediately shouted at him, "That’s him, that’s the guy, he hit me earlier! Everyone, look, see which department he’s from. I don’t care which department he’s from, today I’m definitely going to get him fired!"

Some other managers glanced at Lin Mu, all claiming they didn’t recognize him, insisting he’s not a subordinate from their units. Just as Fatty Liu was making a fuss, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out,

"Stop asking, he’s my newly hired bodyguard!"

It was Sophie speaking, and for a moment, everyone quieted down. Upon realizing he had a direct connection with the CEO, even a fool knew the CEO was intentionally protecting him, so who would dare inquire further?

Bodyguard? Lin Mu was extremely frustrated. My rightful status should be your fiancé!

But Fatty Liu, who had just been thoroughly chastised, considered it a great humiliation. Feeling very indignant, he couldn’t swallow his pride and brazenly walked up to Sophie,

"CEO, that brat just hit me, making me lose face. If he’s allowed to act recklessly, how can I continue in the company? So I must demand he kneels and apologizes; otherwise, my anger won’t be appeased!"

"Oh, this is a personal matter between you men. I suggest you resolve it in a man’s way outside the company. Although I am the CEO, I don’t concern myself with personal issues!"

Sophie said casually, with an air of indifference and detachment!

But everyone could hear the underlying message, and of course, Fatty Liu understood too—this was clearly favoritism!

Although he saw through the CEO’s intentions, Liu Hui was still relentless,

"CEO, if this kid doesn’t kneel before me today, I will resign as the Human Resources manager! If I can’t even handle a young brat, how can I command respect in the company in the future!"

After all, he was a senior figure in the HR department! Now he was giving the CEO an ultimatum, it’s either him or me, but one of us has to go today, surely the CEO wouldn’t protect this foolish boy! This face must be given, right? Otherwise, if I walk away, it would be quite a talent loss for the company!

"Are you sure you want to leave?"

Not expecting Sophie to retort like this, it seemed there was indeed a twist to the situation!

"When Liu Hui speaks, he never retracts his words; I would never take it back!"

"Then pack up and you can go!" Sophie left a bland remark and walked inside.

Liu Hui imagined Lin Mu pathetically begging him for forgiveness, so he arrogantly shouted at Lin Mu, "Kid, did you hear? You’re fired tomorrow! It’s not too late to kowtow and apologize to me now. I’ll beg the CEO on your behalf and let you stay. In the future, every time you see me, you have to call me ’Uncle,’ and I’ll treat you like a person!"

Lin Mu was amused to the point of laughter; this fool couldn’t see clearly. Everyone present could tell that Sophie had clearly just told him to leave!

So Lin Mu sympathetically patted this guy’s shoulder and reminded him earnestly,

"The CEO just told you to leave, Fatty!"

Just then, Xiaowan came over with a document folder, saw Liu Hui, and handed him a piece of paper,

"Fill this out, and you can settle your salary now; the CEO has already signed it!"

Liu Hui finally understood, took the dismissal document, his eyes as wide as a bull’s.

"I want to see the CEO! I want to see Sophie!" Fatty shouted,

Unfortunately, Xiaowan coldly gave him a brush-off, "The CEO said she doesn’t want to see you! If you don’t heed this advice, I will provide evidence of your embezzlement to the police!"

Liu Hui immediately deflated like a frostbitten gourd.

Xiaowan led Lin Mu to the hall, where a graceful figure was waiting for them.

"CEO, Young Master Lin has arrived!" Xiaowan invited Lin Mu to sit down, then poured a glass of water and placed it in front of him. "Today I’ll be attending the manager-level routine meeting for you; you can chat with Young Master Lin for a while. There’s an international trade manager-level meeting at 11:40, so your time is limited."

"Alright, Xiaowan, you go ahead and get busy!"

Sophie flashed a sweet smile, a rare sight that Xiaowan noted, revealing that this seemingly ordinary man indeed had considerable charm.

Lin Mu, of course, also noticed Sophie’s unintentional sweet smile, a graceful and charming beauty that captivated without being self-aware, radiating beauty that could overshadow a nation, as dazzling as the bright moon illuminating the dark earth with its added brilliance.

Her exquisite and elegant face was sophisticated and alluring, with eyebrows that subtly enticed crime, yet her overall aura was ethereal, fresh, pure, and inviolable.

"One glance overwhelms a city, a second glance topples a nation," these ancient phrases perfectly described her beauty and aptly summarized the admiration in Lin Mu’s heart at that moment!

Especially her beautiful eyes, as bright as a clear autumn pool, shining with wisdom, every smile and gaze blooming with allure, as if communicating with your soul, unwittingly invoking a desire to become close and then get lost within, never wanting to escape.

Whew, Lin Mu swallowed with difficulty; such an enticing woman, in such a seductive uniform, genuinely evoking a desire to possess and conquer her. But common sense told him that rushing things would be counterproductive; she was always meant to be his, conquering her was merely a matter of time, waiting for the opportune moment rather than acting hastily.
