Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2088: Chapter 2085: The Visitor Has No Good Intentions

Miss slightly shook her head, shaking off those messy thoughts, and jogged forward to walk alongside Lin Tian.

Walking with Lin Tian, although they didn’t speak, the occasional sideways glance made her inexplicably happy. Logically, having reached her level, while she couldn’t be indifferent to worldly pleasures and sorrows, she could at least control her own mood.

Yet, as long as Lin Tian was around, these seemed to no longer work. However, with him by her side, there was a sense of indescribable peace of mind, a feeling she never got elsewhere.

Lin Tian glanced sideways, noticing the smile in Miss’s eyes, but said nothing. The feeling was wonderful, needing no vows of eternal love, yet his heart was not at all restless.

Later, Lin Tian visited Elder Han, who was a senior in the Xiao Group, loyal to the Xiao Family, and had fought alongside the previous generation.

The connection between Lin Tian and the Xiao Family was also due to Elder Han. If not for Elder Han’s recommendation, his life might have been very different. He didn’t know what that life would be like, maybe more carefree than now, but he didn’t regret it.

This New Year, Lin Tian had time to calm down and visit people he hadn’t seen in a while. Perhaps they were just an ordinary bar bartender, or they were a wealthy group executive; it made no difference to Lin Tian.

On the fifth day of the new year, the weather was clear and sunny, and the winter sun always seemed warm. The Xiao family’s private jet flew towards Jinghua City against the morning breeze.

The commerce association’s annual meeting Miss mentioned was tonight, Lin Tian went, and so did the three ladies of the Xiao Family. Because it was Miss’s first annual meeting since taking office, Mrs. Xiao naturally wanted to support her.

Because this time was different from the past, she couldn’t wait until the event started to go. As the president, she needed to go and check the venue and give instructions in advance. It’s important to do a good job on appearances to avoid those elders speaking ill behind her back.

Therefore, after the plane landed, Lin Tian and the group didn’t go to the hotel to rest but headed straight for Ziwei Garden. Ziwei Garden is a property of Yunhua Commerce, used for important meetings and gatherings.

The car stopped at the gate of Ziwei Garden, and Lin Tian noticed that the entrance had a new look. Not that the gate was changed, but it was adorned with new couplets, new lanterns were hung, and the old places were restored.

Ziwei Garden is a century-old building that requires professionals to maintain and restore each year. Therefore, such an estate, if given to an ordinary person, would be unaffordable to maintain.

After getting out of the car, Lin Tian saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the door, dressed in a black uniform skirt, high heels, and black stockings. She had long legs, a slender waist, a pretty face, but a relatively stern expression.

"Secretary Xu..." Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise. This woman in uniform was Miss’s capable assistant, Secretary Xu, a beautiful and intelligent woman.

Miss gave Lin Tian a sideways glance, reproaching, "Your eyes lit up when you saw Secretary Xu, you’re not even trying to hide it."

"My eyes light up when I see Miss, Mrs. Xiao, and Second Miss as well because I glow when I see beautiful people and things," Lin Tian replied earnestly, not feeling embarrassed at all, his thick skin was well-practiced.

Several ladies laughed at his words; he complimented all the women present with one sentence, incredibly direct.

However, Secretary Xu dared not be as carefree as him, especially with the chairperson and president present. She nodded politely and smiled, "Chairman Li, President Xiao, Second Miss, Happy New Year."

She paused, looked at Lin Tian, and also nodded, "Mr. Lin, Happy New Year."

As expected of the president’s secretary, her conduct was polite and thoughtful without making anyone feel awkward. This is not something taught in school, but honed through years of experience in the workplace.

"Xiao Xu, you’ve worked hard, having you come a day early to set things up," Mrs. Xiao said warmly with a smile.

Secretary Xu didn’t dare be presumptuous and quickly responded, "It’s my duty to do so. President Xiao has assigned Su Qingqing to assist me, and the setup progress is very fast."

"Su Qingqing?" Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise, a girl’s image appearing in his mind, the brave, kind, yet easily shy and blushing girl.

At this moment, a woman came rushing out from inside. Like Secretary Xu, she was in a uniform skirt, black stockings, high heels, with light makeup. It’s not easy for women in the winter wearing skirts, but fortunately, today was warm and sunny.

The woman’s figure and appearance matched the image in his mind, and Lin Tian blurted out, "Su Qingqing, it’s really you."

Hearing the voice, the woman looked over, then was stunned, disbelief on her face as she hesitantly said, "Lin Tian?"

"It’s none other than me," Lin Tian said with a smile.

The winter sunlight fell on Lin Tian’s smiling face, and the woman felt as if a beam of sunlight had shone into the new room, bright and warm.

The woman was precisely Su Qingqing, whom Lin Tian had helped at Night Rose Bar; she had a brother, Su Wenshan.

Su Qingqing had changed significantly, dressed in a uniform, her demeanor elegant, and experience had transformed her from immature to mature.

She quickly recovered, her fair face blushing slightly. Seeing this blush, Lin Tian seemed to see that familiar girl again, the one who was easily shy.

Mrs. Xiao, watching from the side, found it strange. Her capable assistant, who was usually so composed, was suddenly shy and blushing? She noticed Su Qingqing’s gaze fixed on Lin Tian and immediately understood.

Su Qingqing felt a little nervous and a little joyful, her heart pounding uncontrollably. She secretly took a deep breath, but couldn’t calm her fluttering heart.

She walked up to Mrs. Xiao, reporting with a strange feeling, "Chairman, the setup is complete, and the invited guests have responded."

"What did the Li Family say?" Mrs. Xiao said calmly.

But Lin Tian could see that when mentioning the Li Family, the expressions of the Xiao family’s three women were not natural. After all, no matter how much they cut ties, the blood ties couldn’t be severed.

Su Qingqing replied, "The Li Family responded that the eldest son, Li Wenfeng, will attend the annual meeting."

"Li Wenfeng?" Lin Tian frowned slightly, recalling this eldest son of the Li Family, a student at the England Royal Knight College, fiancé to Yuwen Luofei.

Li Wenfeng was supposed to be King Arthur’s heir, but unexpectedly, Lin Tian seized his luck and took the Sword of the King. Otherwise, the Sword Spirit’s master should have been Li Wenfeng.

Of course, Lin Tian had already signed a master-servant contract with the Sword Spirit, so even if King Arthur were resurrected, he couldn’t take it away. Moreover, the Sword of the King had vanished from the world, now there was only the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

The last commerce meeting, the Li Family sent the second-generation rich, Li Wenrong, to stir things up, but failed. This time, they sent the eldest son.

The elders’ evaluation of this Li Family eldest son was even above Ou Qinglan, apparently the top of his generation from a renowned family.

Those with good intentions don’t come, those who come are not kind. Every time the Li Family appears, they cause a stir, but according to etiquette, they have to be invited.
