The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Ye Tian said with a bitter face, "Boss, have you ever seen a boss dressed in a security guard’s uniform?"

"...What’s wrong with uniform seduction? What’s wrong with starting from scratch and being frugal? What’s wrong with being individual and going your own way? Is collecting uniforms also not okay..."

A few spit-spraying words had thoroughly scolded Ye Tian.

"Then... then I don’t have money either..."

"Slap!" A card was shoved into Ye Tian’s hand. "The password is six sixes."

From start to finish, Chen Xing never showed Ye Tian a friendly face. This guy’s IQ was really too low, and just looking at his country bumpkin appearance made one want to beat him up. A second glance evoked the desire to strangle him.

"Follow me!" Chen Xing said irritably, leading the way as Little Bun followed behind him, eying Ye Tian with a smug "hmpf". Ye Tian clutched the card tightly, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. This was already the second woman who had given him a bank card.

Striding forward, Ye Tian followed behind two women... well, one man and one woman.

Ghost City, a place on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, could be considered well-known to a special group of people—antique hobbyists and collectors.

The establishment of this place was orchestrated by a well-connected young master. As to exactly who it was, only a few people knew. People were more concerned about whether there were good items available, whether they could snatch up a steal, or whether they could sell their treasured finds at a good price here. Many more just came for the hustle and bustle, after all, just looking was free.

Chen Xing came here for antiques too, but she was buying them for her lover, Bai Shaoqiu, and not for her antique-collecting father. She had just had a quarrel with eunuch-like dad and did not have the filial piety to buy him a gift to calm his nerves. Instead, it only strengthened her resolve to be with Bai Shaoqiu. She loathed her father’s hypocrisy and cunning, and she admired the lofty and righteous court investigator who extended justice for the people. Though he was older than her, she liked him, and it didn’t matter to her even if it meant being a mistress.

Sometimes women can be so naive.

But as Chen Pingrui’s daughter, if she misjudged anything here, it would be quite embarrassing. Hence, she temporarily dragged Ye Tian along for backup.

"Ye Tian, look around here for a bit, I need to negotiate with some people over there."

Ye Tian nodded.

Seeing his sudden composure, Chen Xing couldn’t help but worry, "Hey, don’t go wasting my money... One hundred thousand is the limit. If you go over that, I won’t pay you for the job."

Ye Tian was elated and eagerly nodded. Where else could he find such a lovable Golden Lion King?

"Tsk, country bumpkin!" Little Bun glanced at him disdainfully and was about to follow, but Chen Xing stopped her.

"You don’t need to follow me; just wander around here."

"Oh, I don’t wanna, I wanna stay with sister Chen Xing, let me..."

"Shut up!"

Little Bun shuddered and watched as Chen Xing walked away. Turning around, she saw Ye Tian clutching his stomach, laughing uncontrollably.

It seemed that the owner of this place really cared about the management. Although many stalls were simply set up by spreading a cloth on the ground, one could tell these people were genuine antique enthusiasts. Many stall owners had greyish soil imprints on their hands, marks that Ye Tian had seen on Pig Hu’s hands, even under the fingernails, and which couldn’t be removed even with laundry detergent. When Shen Jingwei asked why his hands were always dirty, Pig Hu had explained that the hands of a Tomb Robber were like this, stained beyond washing.

Seems like there’s quite a few fresh-out-of-the-oven items here. Ye Tian noticed that many things here were still caked with dirt, apparently recently unearthed.

"Humph, country chicken pretending to be a peacock with its tail feathers all spread out."

Hearing this voice, Ye Tian turned around curiously and saw Little Bun following him with a look of aggrievement, probably just venting his inner dissatisfaction with those sour words.

"Little Nan, what’s up?"

"Go away, go away, I’m not your Little Nan, humph. It’s your fault that Sister Xing didn’t take me inside, all because she had to take care of you - so annoying!" Little Bun, clad in yellow leggings, stomped angrily, looking quite petulant.

Now Ye Tian became curious, walked over to him and said, "Little Nan, you don’t need to follow me around, I’m just casually browsing here. When your master needs me, I’ll be right there. If you don’t like following me, then don’t - rest assured, I won’t cause any trouble."

"Humph, you not causing trouble? No one would believe that. With so much stuff here and money in your hands, who knows what junk you’ll buy. It’s fine if you end up with a fake, but it’s a big deal if it tarnishes my mistress’s reputation."

A flurry of goosebumps covered Ye Tian at Little Bun’s flamboyant gestures, "Forget it, forget it, just follow me if you want, can’t be bothered to argue with you."

"Hey, bro, what are you selling here?"

A rugged man with a big beard blocked Ye Tian’s way, with black and white hair that indicated he was probably in his fifties. Tall in stature, he was speaking to Ye Tian but at the same time scanning Little Bun from head to toe.

Ye Tian saw the smile on his face and knew he was joking. He played along, "A newly unearthed chief eunuch from the Daqing Dynasty, Eunuch Nan!"

"You... you! Humph!"

Hearing such mockery from the two, Nan was so furious that he stumbled over his words, stomped his foot, turned around, and ignored them, but this embarrassed gesture only made the two of them laugh even louder.

"Are you from around here too?"

"Just running a small stall. I heard you speaking just now, it sounded like you have a hometown accent, so I came over to have a look."

"Oh? Where are you from?"

"The suburbs of Huaizhou."

"I’m from there too!"

When fellow townsmen meet, they naturally hit it off, and within a few words, Little Bun was left behind as the two walked over to the man’s stall, where the old man sat on a stool while Ye Tian squatted across from him, looking at the items on the ground.

"Come, little bro, have a look. What do you think of these goods from me, your big bro?"

Ye Tian scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, "Big bro, I’m a total newbie, I don’t really understand these things at all. I’m just tagging along with a friend for fun."

"Ah, why so modest as a young man. Take a look around, and if something catches your eye, your big bro will explain it to you."

"Alright, I’ll have a look then."

With that, Ye Tian shifted his gaze to the items laid out on the waterproof tarp in front of him. There were bronze artifacts, jade pieces, porcelain, paintings and calligraphy, as well as several copper coins – not many items in total but quite a variety.
