Uncommon, not simple

  After finishing his business, Chen Chen returned to his residence, took a cool shower, changed into another set of clothes, and rested for a while. It was almost time, so he went out and took a taxi to Xiangzhanglin.

  The security guard at the gate had recognized him from his previous visits by car, and although he was puzzled that he didn't drive today, he still let him pass without hesitation.

  Chen Chen entered the villa area and arrived at the door of the Luo family. At this time, the sky had already darkened.

  Lao Wei was waiting at the door and when he arrived, he lightly waved his hand, leading him into the room and walking straight to the dining hall.

  At this time, Luoyu Huang and Luoxin Ran were already seated, and the dishes had been served.

  Chen Chen walked up and sat down, Lao Wei also walked over to the opposite position and sat down. Everyone was present, so they could start dinner.

  The servant came over, picked up the red wine on the table, opened it, poured a little into each person's cup, and then retreated to the side. Luo Yu Huang raised his own cup, turned his head to look at Chen Chen: "Today, don't need to drive, right? Should be able to drink some wine?"

  "No problem!" Chen Chen smiled faintly and raised his own cup.

  "This first cup is to express gratitude for your work over the past twenty plus days." Lu Yu Huang also smiled: "I have to say, you are the best bodyguard I've ever seen, and Lao Wei thinks so too."

  The old guard beside him nodded slightly in agreement, with no hint of jealousy in his expression.

  "Cheers." Chen Chen said politely, clinking glasses with his opponent before downing the drink in one gulp.

  The servant came forward and poured red wine into several people's cups.

  "The second cup is to thank you for saving Xinran." Luo Yu Huang raised his cup again: "I have thoroughly understood the situation last night, and no one can do better than you in that situation. Even Old Wei said that if he were there, he wouldn't be able to treat such severe injuries."

  As soon as this was said, Xi Ran beside him also looked at Chen Chen with a strange gaze.

  "It's my duty." Chen Chen casually said a polite phrase, clinked glasses with the other person and then downed his drink.

  The servant added wine and Rong Yu Huang raised his cup for the third time: "This third cup is my toast to you, a sign of respect for you as a person."

  The two of them clinked their glasses together for the third time and downed their drinks.

  Three cups down, Rong Yu Huang didn't continue to pester him, but instead picked up his chopsticks and put some dishes in Chen Chen's bowl: "We've had wine, now let's eat something. The chef we hired made it, I don't know if it suits your taste."

  Chen Chen picked up a piece and took a bite, immediately unable to help but exclaim: "Very good! I used to work in a five-star hotel and have seen the chefs there cook, to be honest, the chef at Luo's house is much better than them."

  "Just eat a bit more to suit your appetite." Luo Yu Huang nodded comfortingly: "Let's chat while we eat, it's still early."

  Chen Chen didn't stand on ceremony either and picked up his chopsticks to eat at will.

  Seeing him being completely unreserved, with an air of not treating himself as an outsider, Luo Yu Huang's mouth curled up into a slight smile, and he also slowly started eating. As he ate, he casually said: "Honestly, I really admire your talent. You're young, have real ability, have vitality, have principles, and have pride, just like what Old Wei told me that one phrase...

  "Not ordinary, not simple!" Old Wei chimed in with a smile beside him.

  "Exactly, exactly, these two sentences are very common, but very accurate." Ruo Yu Huang smiled.

  "This sounds like an advertisement." Chen Chen also burst out laughing.

  "I'm a rough person, not so elegant." Old Wei smiled and spread his hands: "There are only that many words in my brain, I use them as soon as I think of them."

  "In short, we all value your talent." Luo Yu Huang nodded and said seriously: "To be honest, if possible, I really want to keep you by my side, but I also know that this is unlikely."

  "Why not?" Chen Chen picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, chewing as he casually asked back.

  "Firstly, you yourself are not willing to, someone like you won't be content with being inferior to others." Luo Yu Huang frankly expressed his thoughts: "Secondly, I am also unwilling, I don't want your talents to be buried because of me, that would be a huge waste."

  "Kongzhongmen is really kind and generous." Chen Chen shook his head slightly: "To be honest, you are the first person to have such a high opinion of me. I'm just a poor student from a third-rate university with no background at home. I don't know why you would think so highly of me, maybe I'll disappoint you."

  "Saying something like that shows you're introverted and stable, not easily letting others see through you." Luo Yu Huang stared tightly at Chen Chen's eyes: "If someone like you can't succeed, then it can only be said that heaven is blind."

  "Has heaven ever opened its eyes?" Chen Chen sighed softly: "Eyes are only grown on our own bodies, how far we can go depends entirely on how far our own eyes can see, it has nothing to do with heaven."

  Everyone present was stunned by these words.

  Even Kou Yuhuang, a seasoned old hand, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, seemingly not expecting Chen Chen to say something so thought-provoking.

  A glass of wine was suddenly handed in front of Chen Chen.

  Chen Chen was slightly stunned and looked up to see Rou Xinyan's delicate face.

  Tonight, she wore a white evening gown and put on makeup, making her originally clear and beautiful self even more stunning and radiant, just like a fairy walking out of a painting.

  "I should respect you too." With a soft sigh, Rong Xiran's face floated with a hint of a smile: "Even now, I'm still thinking that if it weren't for you, I might not be sitting here anymore."

  "No need to be so polite." Chen Chen clinked his cup against the other person's and shook his head slightly: "I'm a bodyguard, in that situation, I just did what a bodyguard should do."

  "You're not a bodyguard anymore." Luo Xinyan drank the red wine, and her jade-like face flushed with a hint of redness, making her look even more charming: "What a pity... maybe we won't see this kind of bodyguard again in the future."

  Chen Chen was somewhat stunned, and from the other person's eyes, he saw a color that made his heart skip a beat.

  He composed himself, picked up his wine cup and stood up: "The host has toasted so many cups, it's time for me as a guest to toast you all."

  Seeing him make this move, the others also quickly picked up their cups and stood up.

  "Lao Ke, I also want to express my respect for you." With a faint smile, he looked at the other party seriously: "You are the best employer I have ever seen. You are wealthy but not arrogant, kind to your employees, and without the airs of a rich young lady. I really like working under you, if it were in the past, I would be willing to work for you for a lifetime."

  Upon receiving such praise, Lu Yu Huang and Lu Xin Ran simultaneously revealed relieved smiles.

  "Although I have other plans and may not be employed by you again in the future." Chen Chen paused, then continued: "But as long as you treat me like one of your own, I will treat you like my own people."

  "To our own kind, cheers!"

  Four cups collided and made a crisp sound.
