Chapter 712: Chapter 429: Nostalgia, King of Soldiers, This Boss is Not Very Serious_2

“`plaintext

Ji Ya was even more bewildered: “Can’t you just say ‘stop’ or ‘no,’ wouldn’t that be enough?”

Liew Menglu’s expression was playful: “Of course not, saying things like ‘don’t,’ ‘stop,’ ‘no can do’ might actually get Shen Yuan more excited. Besides, how can we be sure that when you use these words, it’s because you truly can’t accept it, or you’re just playing around?”

“So that’s how it is….”

Ji Ya had a sudden realization and nodded thoughtfully.

“However, Shen Yuan won’t go too far, at least I’ve never had to use a safeword.” Liew Menglu looked at Shen Yuan as she spoke.

“Got it….”

Ji Ya decided to brush up on this knowledge.

…….

Not long after breakfast, the bodyguard who came for the interview also arrived, and Ji Ya guided her to park her car at an outdoor parking space.

First, a pair of black boots stepped out from the driver’s seat, followed by a pair of long legs wrapped in camouflage pants.

It wasn’t until she stood straight that Ji Ya could see her face by looking up slightly.

The first instinct was that this girl was tall, at least 175 cm.

Such height might be common among girls from the north, but in the south, she would have been the tallest girl in her class during her school days.

Her upper body was clad in a camouflage T-shirt, which was loosely tucked into her pants, making her back appear somewhat skinny.

Below the chin-length hair was a slightly square round face, delicate features, but utterly lifeless. She extended a hand to Ji Ya: “Hello, I am Tan Xin.”

(PS: The image is roughly like this)

Ji Ya’s second impression was that she was cool.

Tall and cool, and somewhat indifferent when speaking, Ji Ya wondered whether the boss would take a liking to her, thinking this while extending a polite smile and shaking her hand:

“Hello Tan Xin, I am Ji Ya, Mr. Shen’s assistant.”

“Mm.”

Tan Xin nodded slightly, then looked towards the rear seat of the Volkswagen Bora: “There’s something I haven’t had the chance to mention, I brought my brother along.”

Ji Ya was startled: “Your brother?”

Tan Xin snapped her fingers, and immediately after, a burly figure with a sturdy physique stepped out from the backseat, at least half a head taller than Tan Xin, packed with muscle underneath the camouflage uniform.

With a buzz cut, a square face, and an impassive expression, he emanated an imposing sense of authority.

Suddenly, Ji Ya thought her brother looked more like a bodyguard and asked: “Is your brother here for the interview too?”

“Sort of, and sort of not.”

Tan Xin calmly said: “I’ll go see the employer now, he can just wait here.”

After Ji Ya gave her permission, Tan Xin looked at her brother: “Tan Ang, wait here for me.”

“Okay.”

The man addressed as Tan Ang nodded slightly, side-stepped slightly outward with his legs, folding his arms in front of his abdomen, the entire sequence of movements somewhat resembled being at ease on command.

“Why not wait inside the living room?”

Ji Ya looked up and suggested to the towering brother.

Tan Ang remained expressionless, silent, and continued staring straight ahead without a glance to the side.

“He only listens to me now, let’s wait inside,” Tan Xin said.

He only listens to you? Ji Ya found these siblings to be quite strange, but it wasn’t her place to comment, as she led Tan Xin into the reception room.

“Boss, Tan Xin is here.”

Shen Yuan was lounging in the reception room when he heard the voice. He put down the resume and started sizing up the female bodyguard in front of him.

Hmm, quite stylish.

That was Shen Yuan’s first impression. After taking another look, he thought that if she put on sunglasses and changed into another outfit, she would truly look the part.

“Please introduce yourself,” Shen Yuan made a welcoming gesture.

Tan Xin stood up straight: “My name is Tan Xin, 25 years old. I am proficient in Sanda, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, various firearms, and I can skillfully drive all types of vehicles, including but not limited to sedans, SUVs, vans, and if needed, I can also drive special vehicles. I have an international driver’s license, overseas living experience, and capabilities in crisis management and emergency medical care.”

Shen Yuan held his chin and looked her over. She was quite attractive, though her face was expressionless.

Under the camouflage uniform, her back seemed thin, not appearing to be very powerful, but her arm muscles were smooth and well-defined, clearly indicating a regular workout regimen.

Su Guodong had also reported after doing a background check that among the three selected candidates, the information was absolutely accurate, and the backgrounds were spotlessly clean.

For this veteran security professional of 20 years, Shen Yuan was quite trusting.

Besides, Shen Yuan believed that Su would not dare risk his own career by presenting unreliable candidates.

“Tell me about your last job,” Shen Yuan said.

“I worked with a security team, responsible for the protection of a foreign female politician.”

“Why did you leave the job?” Shen Yuan asked.

“She stepped down and didn’t need a security team anymore.”

“I see. So you must be quite skilled at protecting people?” Shen Yuan inquired.

“Mm, you could say that.”

“OK, do you have any questions for me?”

“`

“I understand that my job will be to drive for you and protect you, right? Is there anything else in terms of job content?” Tan Xin asked.

“Yes, that’s it. No, there isn’t anything else.”

“I don’t have any problems with that, but I do have 3 demands,” Tan Xin said.

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows: “You can make your demands, but I might not satisfy them.”

“The first request is to have one day off on New Year’s Eve.”

“That can be arranged.”

Shen Yuan agreed right away.

Not to mention one day, even one week would be fine; during the New Year period, he would definitely be with his family and barely go out.

“The second demand is about salary.”

“Hold on.”

Shen Yuan interrupted: “Let’s discuss your salary after you state your third demand, which you can take up with my assistant Ji Ya.”

“Alright. The third one isn’t really a demand, but rather a request.”

“Go ahead.”

“Can my brother work for you?”

Shen Yuan tilted his head up and sized her up again: “What’s the situation with your brother?”

“My brother used to be a mercenary in Western Asia. Six months ago, he got hit in the back of the head by a stray bullet during a mission, which has caused some mental issues now.”

Shen Yuan paused in astonishment, the Soldier King of Syria returning home? What kind of plot was this?

“Firstly, I don’t mean to be impolite, but how can your brother work for me if he has mental issues?” Shen Yuan asked.

Tan Xin explained: “He is self-sufficient; it’s just that since that incident, his mind has become very fixated, and he only listens to me.”

“How fixated exactly?”

“If I tell him to wait for me there, he will stand without moving, no matter if it’s windy, sunny, or raining,” Tan Xin pointed outside the window.

Shen Yuan pulled back the curtain slightly and saw a tall and straight figure of a man standing by the car under the sun, sturdy as a resilient poplar.

“What can he do?”

“He can fight, endure, run, and jump. His combat ability is about three times that of mine.”

“So is this a two-for-one deal, or are you saying I need to pay your brother a separate salary?” Shen Yuan asked.

“No need to pay my brother a salary, just providing food, drink, and accommodation is enough.”

“Just like that?”

“Just like that.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“No problem.”

Tan Xin was very straightforward, not beating around the bush: “Should I wait for you to get back, or shall I wait here?”

“Wait outside for me.”

After Tan Xin left, Shen Yuan called Ji Ya into his office.

“Boss, what do you think? She’s pretty, has a good figure, and long legs, but she’s kind of cold…”

“Stop, stop! Why do you keep bringing up her figure and looks when I’m choosing a bodyguard!”

Shen Yuan frowned: “How many times have I told you, it’s the character and professional ethic that I value. Don’t be so vulgar next time, got it?”

“Got it.”

Ji Ya pursed her lips.

“What do you think of her?” Shen Yuan asked.

“I’ve just met her too, so I’m not very clear. But boss, if you’re uncertain, you can set a trial period of ten days to half a month,” Ji Ya suggested.

“Hmm, that works.”

“And her brother…”

“She wants her brother to work for me too, without any extra salary, just to cover his living expenses.”

“Her brother seems more capable of fighting than her, but it’s odd, he completely ignored me when I spoke to him.”

“Tan Xin mentioned that he was shot in the head by a stray bullet before and suffered intellectual disabilities, now only listening to Tan Xin,” explained Ji Ya.

Ji Ya nodded in understanding: “I see… no wonder.”

“Alright, you negotiate the salary with her. As long as her demands are not excessive, try to meet them,” Shen Yuan instructed, then went out to Tan Xin, extending his hand: “We’ll have a trial period of half a month, your salary you can discuss with my assistant.”

Tan Xin silently looked at his hand and gently shook it, intending to pull back when she noticed he was holding it a bit tightly.

“Mr. Shen, show some respect,” Tan Xin reminded coldly.

“Just kidding. You need to have a sense of humor if you’re going to work with me,” Shen Yuan let go of her hand, then patted her shoulder before turning and leaving.

Tan Xin’s mouth twitched slightly; within three seconds, this future boss had taken liberties with her twice.
