    “I don’t believe it!

    Unless I see you enter the general manager’s office with my own eyes, I won’t give up!”

    The group of love-struck female employees were determined to fight to the end.

    If Lin Yifan dared to step into the general manager’s office, they would accept it.

    “Is it really necessary?” Lin Yifan couldn’t help but ask.

    Just because he looked good and seemed wealthy, they pursued him recklessly without considering whether he liked them back; what use was such unrequited love?

    “It’s necessary!

    Very necessary!

    You’re the man who will decide our futures!

    How can we let you go easily?”

    They wouldn’t let go of any tall, rich, and handsome man easily because it was about their future.

    “Alas,” Lin Yifan shook his head and sighed, utterly speechless.

    How had girls’ values changed to this?

    Wouldn’t it be better to share both the good times and the bad and create a wonderful future together?

    Why did they insist on marrying into wealth?

    “Ding!”

    The next second, the elevator reached the fiftieth floor.

    The love-struck female employees stood silently in the elevator, waiting for Lin Yifan to step out.

    “I’m off!

    Do you want to come with me?” Lin Yifan asked, looking back.

    “No, thanks!

    We’ll just watch you go in!”

    The group of female employees weren’t foolish; they knew well the consequences of barging into the general manager’s office unwarranted.

    “Alright, then watch from here,” he said.

    After saying that, Lin Yifan stepped out of the elevator and strode confidently into the general manager’s office.

    The moment Lin Yifan entered the general manager’s office, the infatuated female employees finally gave up.

    As for a bodyguard, they still didn’t have much of an interest in him, even though this bodyguard was handsome.

    Meanwhile, Lin Yifan heaved a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that the love-struck female employees would be relentless, and then he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Manager An.

    Hearing the clear footsteps at the door, the beautiful assistant on duty in the general manager’s office turned her head curiously.

    When she saw a handsome man, dressed in a Black Knight shiny black suit, wearing Lontsi leather shoes, and donning Senmo sunglasses, striding in directly, she was instantly mesmerized.

    It was her first time seeing such a dashing man.

    She immediately straightened her posture and politely asked, “Sir!

    May I ask who you are?”

    “Come on!

    You don’t recognize me already?

    Have I changed that much?” Lin Yifan was at a loss for words.

    But, this was good too.

    He could take advantage of the situation to introduce himself differently.

    “Hello, I am a business partner of Manager An from the Antian Group.

    My last name is Lin.

    I’m here for an important discussion with Manager An.

    Please let her know I’ve arrived.”

    “Mr.

    Lin?

    The suit?

    Holding a shopping bag?

    Could he be the general manager’s personal bodyguard who went out to buy clothes?” the beautiful assistant wondered.

    If Lin Yifan had not mentioned his last name, she wouldn’t have paid any attention to what he was holding.

    But now, with all these coincidences, she couldn’t help but suspect whether this handsome man in front of her was the general manager’s personal bodyguard who had gone out to buy clothes.

    However, the stark difference between his before and after appearances made her uncertain, so with an attitude meant not to make a mistake, she still dialed the general manager’s number and informed her about the matter.

    “A Mr.

    Lin who is a business partner?”

    On the phone, An Qi was totally confused.

    In her memory, there didn’t seem to be a business partner surnamed Lin.

    However, to avoid offending any business partner, she decided to meet the person herself.

    After all, the company was going through a critical period and couldn’t afford to lose another partner.

    “Ask him to wait a moment, I’ll come out immediately.”

    “Okay!” After hanging up the phone, the beautiful assistant politely said to Lin Yifan, “Mr.

    Lin, please wait a moment, Manager An will be out shortly.”

    “OK!” Lin Yifan gestured and then stood quietly at the entrance of the general manager’s office, waiting for Manager An to come out.

    A few seconds later, with a creak, the door to the general manager’s office opened.

    At that moment, a beautiful woman walked out.

    Seeing An Qi again, Lin Yifan’s heart began to thump erratically for no apparent reason.

    “Could it be the work of the black bead?

    Why does it like the woman in front of me?”

    The black bead resided in his heart, and since he didn’t have much feeling for An Qi, it must be the black bead causing mischief.

    “Ah!

    Stop worrying about it for now, just deal with the matter at hand first.”

    Calming himself down, he reached out his hand and greeted politely, “Manager An!

    Hello!”

    “Hello!”

    An Qi also reached out her hand, and they greeted each other.

    As their hands clasped, Lin Yifan felt a cool energy transferring from An Qi’s hand into his body, traveling along his meridians to converge inside his heart.

    “What is this power?

    Why is it so strange?”

    He was deeply puzzled and extremely astonished.

    To absorb energy just from a handshake, he could only blame these strange abilities on the black bead because it was after the black bead merged with his body that these weird events began to occur; nothing like this had ever happened before.

    “Sir!

    May I ask which company you’re with?” An Qi asked politely.

    “Sir?”

    “Ah!

    Report to Manager An!

    I am with Antian Group!”

    Lin Yifan snapped back to reality, then answered seriously, no longer playing around.

    “Antian Group?

    But isn’t that my company?

    Speak up!

    Who exactly are you?”

    An Qi’s tone suddenly turned serious.

    Someone in the company dared to fool her; they must be tired of living.

    “I am Lin Yifan, your personal bodyguard,” Lin Yifan answered solemnly.

    “You?

    No way!

    You don’t seem to be the same,” An Qi said with a face full of surprise.

    In her memory, Lin Yifan was just a simple migrant worker.

    How had he suddenly transformed into a high, rich, and handsome man?

    Even magic couldn’t change someone so completely, could it?

    “I’m not lying to you!

    I am indeed your personal bodyguard!”

    The next moment, Lin Yifan took off his sunglasses, revealing his true face.

    An Qi gasped in shock, asking incredulously, “It’s really you?

    How did you change like this?”
