Top-class Bodyguard

"This guy is joking, there's no way I'd use that kind of stuff."

Song Ziwen smiled gently, effortlessly deflecting Ren Feng's jab, then said to Xia Wenxue, "Wenxue, let's discuss this later. I've invited representatives from MAC Group today; they want to tour your company. This will make it easier for your products to enter the international market."

MAC Group, internationally known for women's products like perfume, lingerie, and cosmetics, is no weaker than Chanel Group.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxue's expression subtly changed.

She glanced at the foreigners. The leading bald Caucasian man nodded with a smile and then spoke fluent English: essentially, "Hello, we are representatives from MAC Group, here to seek business collaboration in Huaxia."

Xia Wenxue was still hesitant inside, but Song Ziwen sincerely said, "Wenxue, I know I was wrong three years ago. I'm genuinely wanting to change now. Please give me a chance."

Ren Feng narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing.

Song Ziwen earnestly continued, "Wenxue, these people can benefit your company. I just want to make up for my past mistakes. Otherwise, I'll always feel guilty."

His heartfelt words made Xia Wenxue's expression change, but just then, a burst of laughter interrupted.

"Haha, buddy, what are you saying? As the saying goes, 'Good horses don't turn back.' Those days are over, so why come back, right?" Ren Feng said with a cheeky smile, "You, sir, are not a good horse."

Poof!

Colleagues around them almost burst into laughter at Ren Feng's analogy. How could you compare someone to a horse?

Song Ziwen felt a bit gloomy inside, but he didn't show it. He glanced at Ren Feng, who was looking skyward, and smiled, "And this fellow, who might he be? I've known Wenxue for a while, but I don't recall meeting you before."

The underlying message was sharp and simple: I've known Xia Wenxue for ages; who do you think you are?

Ren Feng chuckled, "Sir, that's not the point. If we talk about proximity, I've already reached the stage of sharing a bed with Xue'xue, doesn't that make you the third wheel?"

Song Ziwen was slightly startled and looked at Xia Wenxue, "Wenxue, are you... married?"

Ren Feng smiled, "Not yet."

Song Ziwen internally sighed with relief. Thankfully, they're not married yet. But at that moment, Ren Feng added, "Though we're not married, we've done what ought to be done, and even what ought not to be done."

Ren Feng grinned at Song Ziwen, exploiting any chance to strike at him without mercy.

Song Ziwen had just relaxed, but Ren Feng's words forced an involuntary twitch of his face.

What's with this talk of doing and not doing those things?

This left Song Ziwen's smile tinged with discomfort.

Do you think it's appropriate to say such things?

"Rest assured, when Xue'xue and I do get married, I'll still invite you to our wedding," Ren Feng continued to taunt Song Ziwen with a grin.

"Alright, Ren Feng, stop talking nonsense," Xia Wenxue's face reddened a bit, then she said to Song Ziwen, "There's nothing going on between us. Since you've gathered everyone here, let's take a tour, though our products might not be up to MAC's standards."

Song Ziwen breathed easy, smiling, "Wenxue, what are you talking about?"

Song Ziwen gestured for the group to follow, then walked with Xia Wenxue into the company, leaving behind a group of employees dumbfounded.

"The domineering CEO seems interested in our Mr. Xia?"

"What else did you think? He's here for you?" Someone nearby quipped, "Don't have the fate of a princess but got the sickness of a princess."

"Oh you, tonight don't even think about coming near me!" a female colleague snapped, drawing attention from the others.

Hmm, could they have a scandal?

The previous commenter hurriedly added, "But I heard that CEO's bodyguard is actually close with Mr. Xia. Judging by the situation earlier, it seems like they might clash."

"Yeah, I noticed too, but it's none of my business. It's just fun to watch."

Just then, a supervisor-looking guy coldly said, "What are you standing around for? Get to work! Every minute late, and your punctuality bonus for the month will be docked!"

In a frenzy, everyone rushed into the company.

At this moment, Song Ziwen, Xia Wenxue, and Ren Feng walked together. Observing the company, Song Ziwen sighed, "Wenxue, I can't believe in just three years, you've started your own company."

"Just my dream," Xia Wenxue said calmly.

"Yeah, three years ago, we had plans... Alas, I was foolish then," Song Ziwen chuckled bitterly.

"Let's not dwell on that. What would you like to see first?"

The bald Caucasian man earlier smiled and stepped forward with elegance, "Hello, I'm Douglas, a representative from MAC Group. We want to give a general assessment of all your products, which will decide if we proceed with a collaboration."

Xia Wenxue nodded. MAC is wealthy and renowned, naturally holding that right.

"Let's start looking at everything."

Xia Wenxue led the group to the elevator and pressed the third-floor button.

The group arrived at the third floor, and Xia Wenxue guided the MAC Group members as she began the introductions.

"Floors three, four, and five are mainly cosmetics. There are various categories under cosmetics. Our company's strength in cosmetics lies in..."

While walking and talking, Douglas smiled slightly, "Mr. Xia, may I have my team disperse to check around?"

Xia Wenxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Sure, but the lab is off-limits. I'll get some people to guide you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Immediately, several foreigners holding notebooks and cameras dispersed, led by other company employees, to tour different sections of the floor.

Ren Feng stood aside observing and noticed Song Ziwen turn and say something to a few people, then turn towards him.

"I'm Song Ziwen, may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

Song Ziwen said with a smile.

"Ren Feng."

A friendly face is hard to hit, so Ren Feng smiled back.

"I didn't expect that in the years I've been gone, it's you who stayed by Xue'xue's side. Thank you," Song Ziwen smiled as if he always wore one, but the meaning in his words was all too clear.

I'm back now, so you no longer need to be by her side. It's better if you just leave quietly.

"You're too kind; being with her this short time is nothing. I'll be by her side for her whole life," Ren Feng said, smiling warmly, "There's really no need for Mr. Song to worry. You can rest assured as the backup. I'll make Xue'xue happy."
