Chapter 15: Another Magical Duel

"Tang Luo, wait outside for now; I'll go in and report first."

Arriving at the door of the President's office, Xu Lei said to Tang Luo.

"Okay."

Tang Luo nodded, although he really wanted to go in and surprise Han Ruobing, after thinking it over, he decided to follow Xu Lei's arrangement.

Xu Lei, holding Tang Luo's information form, entered the President's office and saw Han Ruobing engrossed in writing something.

"President Han, the first two rounds of assessments have ended, and one person has passed. Here is his information."

"Only one person?"

Han Ruobing was a bit surprised, looking up at Xu Lei.

"Yes, there's only one left."

Xu Lei said and placed the information on the desk.

"Let him in then."

Han Ruobing did not look at the information but continued writing with her head down.

"Alright."

Xu Lei nodded, turned around, and whispered to Tang Luo, "President Han said to let you in, remember what I just told you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo knew Han Ruobing was still unaware it was him, felt a surge of joy, and hastily nodded, "Oh, I know, speak less."

"Yes, come in with me."

Xu Lei nodded in satisfaction. In her view, Tang Luo was excellent in every aspect, and President Han should be very pleased.

Entering the office, Tang Luo immediately spotted Han Ruobing, busy with her work, and the corners of his mouth curled up, not knowing what kind of reaction she would have.

"President Han, he's here," reported Xu Lei.

"Hmm."

Han Ruobing responded and looked up.

When she saw Tang Luo grinning in front of her desk, she was so shocked that she even dropped the pen in her hand onto the desk.

Tang Luo was quite pleased with Han Ruobing's reaction, the shocked expression on her face gave him the thrill of a successful prank!

"President Han, his name is Tang Luo..."

Xu Lei began to introduce Tang Luo but before she could finish, Han Ruobing suddenly stood up, glaring at Tang Luo, "Why are you here?!"

"President Han, I came to apply for a job," said Tang Luo with a cheery smile.

"To apply?"

Han Ruobing was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, aren't you recruiting a tough guy... no, I mean, a bodyguard and driver?"

Han Ruobing paused for a moment upon hearing Tang Luo's words, then turned to Xu Lei, "Is he the one who passed the two rounds of assessments?"

"Yes, yes, he's the only one who got through both rounds," said Xu Lei, slightly confused. What was going on? Did they know each other?

"Arrange a re-assessment immediately, he doesn't count!"

Han Ruobing took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and said coldly.

"But..."

Xu Lei stammered, unsure of what to say.

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to arrange it?"

Han Ruobing saw Xu Lei standing there without moving and frowned slightly.

"President Han, we can't reassess because the others... the others have all been sent to the hospital by Tang Luo, leaving only him," Xu Lei hesitated before speaking out.

"What?"

Han Ruobing was shocked—all of them sent to the hospital by Tang Luo?

Looking at Tang Luo's smug face, she couldn't help but bite her silver teeth, "Xu Lei, you can leave us."

"Yes, President Han."

Xu Lei hurriedly nodded, sensing that these two definitely knew each other and that their relationship was far from ordinary!

Although she had a good personal relationship with Han Ruobing, in the company, as a subordinate, it was better not to get involved!

Once Xu Lei left, Han Ruobing glared at Tang Luo, "What exactly do you want?"

"Why wouldn't I? I just heard you were looking to hire a bodyguard and driver, so here I am applying for the job!" Tang Luo smiled, pulled up a chair, and sat down. "President Han, shall we go ahead with the ultimate assessment?"

"Ultimate assessment? You didn't pass!"

Han Ruobing said coldly.

"Why? Just because I'm too handsome? I know, as a bodyguard, I can't be too handsome, as that would attract too much attention..."

Tang Luo took out a cigarette, lit it, and spoke with a smile.

"..."

Han Ruobing gritted her teeth; she had seen shameless, but never this shameless!

"Tang Luo, I will not let you be my bodyguard!"

Tang Luo looked at Han Ruobing, sighed softly, his expression slightly downcast. "Ruobing, do you know why I'm applying? I feel as a man, it's not good to freeload off you, so I want to do something for you..."

Upon hearing Tang Luo's words, Han Ruobing was stunned. Was that what he was thinking?

"I've served in the military before, so I believe I can protect you, plus I'm an experienced driver. As for the salary, I originally didn't plan on taking it, considering I've been freeloading off you, it's embarrassing to even talk about a salary!" Tang Luo took a drag of his cigarette, then continued, "Of course, I know you'll pay me even if I don't ask for it, but please don't give too much. Just give me, say, fifty thousand a month as a token, anything more would be looking down on me!"

"..."

Han Ruobing was actually somewhat moved at the beginning, thinking perhaps she should find him a job? But after hearing the latter part, she instantly got angry.

"Tang Luo, I'm saying this one last time, it's impossible for you to be my bodyguard!"

"But I'm the only one left, if you don't choose me, who will you choose? Everyone else went to the hospital."

Tang Luo blew a smoke ring, his expression slightly infuriating.

"..."

Han Ruobing gritted her teeth; this guy must have sent the others to the hospital on purpose!

But thinking that he could make her concede so easily, he was underestimating Han Ruobing!

"I can always hire and assess again..."

"Oh, then should I... come back another day?"

"What for?"

Han Ruobing was taken aback.

"To apply again. If you're hiring anew, I can just come and apply once more."

"..."

Han Ruobing was so frustrated she nearly lost her breath, and her pretty face turned a few shades paler.

"Or, I could make a call to Elder Han and tell him I've come to Zhonghai without finding a job, asking him to arrange something for me?"

"..."

Han Ruobing glared at Tang Luo, the bastard was threatening her using her grandfather, too infuriating!

"You... you really want to come work for me as a bodyguard and driver?"

"Mhm, it's better for me to protect my own girl, feels safer."

Tang Luo nodded, he was serious. He didn't have much to do usually anyway; coming to work would also foster affection over time.

The most important thing was, didn't he just hear what those guys said, that there are beauties everywhere here, it's a paradise for men!

Han Ruobing glared at Tang Luo again and said fiercely, "If you want to work at Fanruo Company, fine, but I have conditions!"

"More conditions?" Tang Luo looked resigned, but still nodded. "Let's hear them."

"In the company, we are superior and subordinate, you must follow my arrangement!"

"No problem."

"You're not allowed to reveal our relationship to anyone else!"

"Alright!"

Tang Luo's eyes shifted as he nodded his head.

"Also, you can't call me Ruobing at work, it has to be President Han!"

"Oh, so I can still call you that at home, right?"

"Not even at home, we're not that close!"

"Oh, can't call you Ruobing, then how about... 'wifey'?"

Tang Luo asked tentatively.

"That's even worse! Han Ruobing took a deep breath, her patience wearing thin. "Fine, just call me Ruobing!"

"Okay!"

Tang Luo smiled triumphantly.
