Zhu Bufan is someone who just can't bear to suffer a loss, and that's the truth. Even when joking around with Du Yujia, he has "forced" Du Yujia to give him a guaranteed monthly "guaranteed money", though in a joking manner. Of course, Du Yujia is even more astoundingly meticulous.

You can ask for money, but there's a condition, and that's that you have to cure Old Zhou's illness first. Once he's cured, I'll pay you immediately.

Zhu Bufan was confident about the illness of Old Zhou, just waiting for the right time, as things would naturally fall into place. After all, he currently had money in his pocket and wasn't in a hurry to use it, so even if Du Yujia paid the money a few days late, it would be acceptable to him.

Zhan Feiyu waited at the school gate, alone. Under the night, his already lean frame appeared even more frail.

As Zhu Bufan stepped out of the car to greet his "boss", Zhan Feiyu scolded him furiously: "What's the meaning of this, Zhu Bufan!? You said you'd be my bodyguard, but you're nowhere to be seen all day. If you don't want to work, then get lost right now!"

"Hehe," Zhu Bufan chuckled dryly and replied awkwardly: "What are you talking about, Little Fish? I didn't say I don't want to protect you. Here I am, I've come back!"

If Zhan Feiyu was scolding Zhu Bufan for no reason, considering his own dignity, Zhu Bufan would definitely retaliate immediately. But now, as he was the one "in the wrong", Zhu Bufan, who was a reasonable person, naturally wouldn't argue with Zhan Feiyu unreasonably.

Being at fault first, it's within reason for the employer to show a bit of dissatisfaction, and he had to restrain himself under such circumstances.

Zhu Bufan's concession didn't cause Zhan Feiyu to hold back at all; on the contrary, she started to ramp up her demands. She grabbed Zhu Bufan by the collar and said, "No way, I'm very dissatisfied with your work today; you must be fined!"

"What did you say!" Zhu Bufan's face changed suddenly. Everything else might be negotiable, but money was not one of them. So, Zhu Bufan argued vehemently: "Zhan Feiyu, haven't you extracted several hundred thousand yuan from me today alone? It's fine if you didn't share a dime with me, but to keep saying you'll dock my pay, don't you have any sense of shame?"

"What are you saying!" Zhan Feiyu's pretty face turned red from Zhu Bufan's words, but she still stubbornly countered: "It was your neglect of duty to start with, okay? If you hadn't neglected your duty, I would naturally consider giving you a bonus. But now you've neglected it, and you still have the nerve to ask me for a bonus?"

"Hehe, what's the big deal? I had to step out a bit, who doesn't run into urgent matters here and there? Look, I'm here now. Alright, alright, calm down, let's get in the car. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about spicy hotpot?"

"Get lost, don't think you can get away with it with these little favors. You made a mistake today, you have to accept the punishment. Today's whole salary is gone, we'll see about tomorrow on probation. If it won't do, you'll get lost right away, I'll ask Brother Fei to come back to be my bodyguard!" Zhan Feiyu took an inch and tried to fire Zhu Bufan on the spot.

Du Yujia stood aside, smiling without a word.

"Since Miss Zhan is so dissatisfied with me, then I'll just leave right now, and we won't need tomorrow's trial period. Farewell!" Having said that, Zhu Bufan turned to Du Yujia and said, "Sister Jia, please take Little Fish home. We'll talk about our cooperation tomorrow."

"Fine, I'll come over tomorrow for you to sign the employment agreement," Du Yujia nodded, yet she didn't take the matter of Zhan Feiyu to heart.

The issue between Zhan Feiyu and Zhu Bufan is their private business, having nothing to do with her, Du Yujia. Even if Zhan Feiyu is her niece, she still can't be bothered to intervene!

As Zhu Bufan turned to leave, Zhan Feiyu lost her calm and immediately rushed up to grab his collar, indignantly saying: "Zhu Bufan, are you just going to walk away without saying a word? You think there's no problem if you just leave like this?"

"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Bufan responded indifferently, taking the opportunity to push Zhan Feiyu's small hands away from his neck, deliberately keeping a "safe distance" from her.

It's not that he couldn't overcome Zhan Feiyu, who was physically weak, but that he dared not. After just recovering from a serious illness, Zhan Feiyu's body was extremely frail. With a little effort from Zhu Bufan, he could easily hurt her severely, and if he let this girl wreak havoc around him, it would only be a matter of time before she provoked him.

"Little Fish, I've been quite polite to you, haven't I? I acted as your bodyguard for the day and I believe I failed at no point in my duties. In protecting you, I managed to offend Tang Feng, who has an impressive background. Just today, I faced his attacks twice in a row!"

With a spread of his hands, Zhu Bufan continued: "Luckily, I have some skills of my own, otherwise facing their assault of more than 30 people, I would have suffered greatly. I don't think they will let the matter rest so easily. I took your money, so I shouldn't be afraid of trouble, but the trouble should at least be proportionate to the benefits to motivate me to keep fighting!"

"But the fact is quite the contrary; the adverse effects of this incident have all fallen on me, while all the benefits have landed on you. Indeed, it's only right for you to reap the rewards with your clever mind, but please don't treat me like a witless block of wood!"

After his speech, Zhan Feiyu stood there dumbfounded, unable to respond.

Indeed, she had gone too far. What she thought was a foolproof, perfect plan was built on an unfair foundation. All the benefits were hers, all the risks were Zhu Bufan's. This seemed reasonable while Zhu Bufan was her bodyguard, but the moment he was fired, their relationship would be reset completely.

Compared to taking on more than thirty thugs single-handedly, Brother Fei had the capability, but definitely at some cost. Brother Fei wouldn't be able to settle it as effortlessly as Zhu Bufan did with those thirty-plus people.

Therefore, Zhu Bufan could fight for her every day, while Brother Fei could not!

Zhan Feiyu, quick-witted, saw that Zhu Bufan's patience was at its limit, and immediately softened her tone to persuade him: "Zhu Bufan, don't be angry, okay? You've done well, but you shouldn't just leave a girl alone at the school gate, right?"

"I admit that was my mistake, but haven't I come now? Little Fish, you better get in the car quickly. It's starting to get chilly outside, and your body might not be able to take it!" As Zhu Bufan spoke, he gestured invitingly with his hand.

Zhan Feiyu nodded her head obediently and got into the car, not forgetting to pop her head out of the window and say, "You promised to treat me to spicy hotpot!"

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Bufan nodded and got into the car, the little expense was something he could afford!
