The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 55 Are you serious?
Lin Chen was shocked. How did this involve him?
Lin Chen quickly refused, "Your family is going to the banquet, what would I do there? Don't worry about me!"

Gu Yuexi hugged Lin Chen's arm tightly and laughed, "You're my boyfriend, and you'll be my husband in the future, so aren't we family?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes. You're overdoing it with your acting.

Return your husband?

Seeing this, Gu Hongtao frowned again, looking displeased. But this time he didn't say much, only calmly saying, "You only gave us three invitations, inviting the three of us. You can't expect me to shamelessly ask for another one, can you?"

Gu Yuexi was immediately disappointed: "Only three? How stingy!"

Gu Hongtao was speechless: "When others send out invitations, they must know about the other party's family situation. Our family of three will definitely only send out three invitations. Besides, Liu Zhenhao's banquet invitation is a symbol of status. So many people want one but don't have one. Do you think it's as cheap as cabbage?"

Gu Yuexi pouted and said, "I know this banquet is high-level, so I want Lin Chen to attend, meet some people, and expand his network."

Lin Chen was surprised. "Are you serious?"

Let's stop acting here.

They're even expanding their network? Do they really think we have a future?

You agree, but your sister disagrees; your sister agrees, but your dad disagrees...

Gu Hongtao gritted his teeth and said, "Next time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Lin Chen quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we'll talk about it later. I don't like attending banquets like this either. A bunch of rich people vie for attention, and it's uncomfortable for a poor guy like me to be stuck in the middle."

Gu Hongtao glanced at Lin Chen, his expression subtle.

So self-aware?
Knowing he's a poor guy, he still wants to pluck my daughter's rose?

Do you deserve it?
Gu Hongtao originally planned to use various methods to force Lin Chen to leave his daughter, but when they encountered a pack of wolves while camping last weekend, Lin Chen displayed extraordinary power and saved his daughter, which made Gu Hongtao consider a different approach.

He still looked down on Lin Chen.

What's the use of being good at fighting? These days, it's all about money!

In the city, you're not facing wolves, but people. Money and power are what earn you respect!
You can't just kill all your enemies as if they were wolves.

However, Lin Chen had first saved the old man and then his daughter, which was a great favor. Gu Hongtao felt it would be inappropriate to use any despicable means.

Gu Hongtao planned to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lin Chen, give him a large sum of money, and ask him to leave his daughter and Pingjiang, as if he had never been there.

The daughter may be sad for a while now that we've lost contact and can't find her, but she'll get over it eventually.

When you're alive, you have to look forward, don't you?
After having dinner at the Gu family's house, Gu Yuexi saw Lin Chen off. Lin Chen laughed and said, "You always seem to do things on a whim."

Gu Yuexi said earnestly, "You are a capable person. What you lack may just be a platform. Getting to know more high-level people will help your life."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "My fighting skills aren't of much use here."

Gu Yuexi patted Lin Chen with a familiar gesture: "Who told you to go fighting and killing? Don't you have excellent medical skills? Let's not talk about anything else, these people are all rich. Just like you said before, as long as you can cure a few and make a name for yourself in this circle, you will be a respected doctor in the future, and your status will naturally be different."

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled Mo Junwu's attitude towards Wen Yu'an before, and laughed, "That's not necessarily true. Rich people think differently from us. Besides, I don't plan to be a full-time doctor. But thank you for thinking of me."

Gu Yuexi asked doubtfully, "Isn't being a doctor good? It's better than your current job, both in terms of income and social status..."

Lin Chen couldn't explain this to Gu Yuexi, so he just smiled and said, "Maybe I'll only do it for two or three months. Who can say what the future holds? Okay, let's go."

Lin Chen had just returned home when the phone rang.

Wen Yu'an.

"Mr. Lin, are you free on Saturday evening?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm a free man, of course I have time."

Wen Yu'an pleaded, "I have a patient I'm unsure about. I'd like to ask Mr. Lin to accompany me and help me assess the situation. Would that be alright?"

Having nothing else to do, Lin Chen agreed.

“That’s great, Mr. Lin. I’ll pick you up on Saturday.”

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself, I'll meet you at the store then."

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the store."

Lin Chen hung up the phone and didn't take it seriously.

There are countless diseases in the world, and even the best doctors will often encounter diseases they cannot cure. It is perfectly normal for Wen Yu'an to ask for my help because he was not confident.

Wen Yu'an's medical skills are actually very good, but he is slightly lacking in the flexible application of medicines and his mastery of prescriptions is relatively rigid. This is why he can always prescribe the right medicine for difficult and complicated diseases, but he often falls just short of the mark.

After taking a shower, Lin Chen lay on the bed and suddenly remembered that tomorrow should be the three-day deadline he gave the boss of Black Bamboo Company, right?
There's been no response yet, so it seems the other party isn't taking my threat seriously.

I'll go visit them myself tomorrow.
