Chapter 380 A Day of Hand-to-Hand Combat with Eight Strong Men

The meeting ended as the city lights began to twinkle.

Gu Lanxi closed her laptop, took the eye drops handed to her by her secretary, tilted her head back and put in two drops, and then the bodyguard pushed the food cart in.

"Boss, the bodyguards sent by Chairman Lu to provide reinforcements have arrived. Would you like to meet them?"

The situation today is really frightening. As soon as my family saw the news, they immediately sent more people to help her.

The year-end summary meeting isn't over yet, and it'll take most of tomorrow.

At least this is the first year-end summary meeting since the company was established. In addition to revising the work content of each department, we also need to make a plan for next year's development and repeatedly emphasize corporate culture. Gu Lanxi has a lot to do on this business trip, and online work is no longer feasible.

Furthermore, since they rarely see each other anyway, and she's come all this way, she still wants to go and see the site in person to gain a better understanding of the company's management.

So when her family suggested hiring more bodyguards for her, she immediately agreed.

Moreover, after the meeting, she still needs to go out to meet with her business partners, so she can't exactly chat with them online, can she?
This is her problem, and she needs to overcome it herself; she can't expect everyone to be understanding.

The entire floor of the hotel was booked by the company, so there was no worry about the bodyguards not having a place to stay.

Gu Lanxi stood up, stretched, and walked around a couple more times. When she saw that dinner had arrived, she was about to lift the lids of the plates, but upon hearing this, she immediately withdrew her hand: "Then please invite them in."

These people were all transferred from the elderly couple's side. She wasn't very familiar with them, so she needed to meet them and get to know them so that she would know who to follow in an emergency.

There were eight people in total. Combined with the two from before, they could at least ensure her freedom of movement.

Two of the female bodyguards, noticing that she had glanced at them, immediately stepped forward and reported, "Before we came, Madam instructed us that if you don't mind, we can sleep on the floor in your room tonight, with your safety as the priority."

Gu Lanxi quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, it's the middle of winter, it's too cold, and this is too disrespectful."

Gu Lanxi has always been very respectful to her staff.

"In case someone tries to break in, we'll prepare a cot and take turns resting in the outer room. It won't disturb you."

In terms of protecting people, these bodyguards are the real professionals, and Gu Lanxi no longer gave unsolicited advice to the experts, agreeing with their arrangements.

The reason this group arrived so quickly was that Zhang Ruolan got up early and habitually took out her phone to see what new messages her daughter-in-law and her husband had. Unexpectedly, she saw that Gu Lanxi was being blocked at the airport. She was so anxious that she immediately arranged for people to come here.

Gu Lanxi had been in meetings and hadn't had a chance to see them. These people had already caught up on their sleep, eaten, and checked the entire floor, making all the necessary preparations.

Gu Lanxi was deeply moved by her mother-in-law's thoughtful arrangements.

However, she didn't say anything polite in front of the group. She simply explained the schedule for the next few days and then sent them off to do their work.

Feng Lu checked all the facilities in the room, including the hot water in the bathroom, and replaced the shower head before packing up her documents and taking her computer back to her own room.

To avoid trouble, no one went downstairs to eat. Instead, bodyguards went to the kitchen to supervise the chefs in preparing the food, and then personally brought it upstairs to distribute to everyone.

Working half a day means no commuting time, and afterwards you can eat, drink, and sleep well. For Feng Lu and others, it's pretty good.

Gu Lanxi was the only one left in the room.

She didn't even bother to eat; she took out her phone and called Lu Nanting.

Zhang Mingyuan answered the phone first, said a few words, and then the call was handed to Lu Nanting.

Hearing the voice, Gu Lanxi asked, "In the car?"

"Okay, the event is over. Honey, I want to see you. I'll video call you." Lu Nanting took the phone, said a few words, and after getting Gu Lanxi's approval, he immediately hung up and played the video.

"I'm eating now. The main dish is glutinous rice lotus root, which is soft, sticky, and fragrant. There's also a meat dish, a vegetable dish, dried bamboo shoot and old duck soup, eight-treasure vegetables, and a small bowl of osmanthus-flavored sweet rice balls. It smells especially good!"

The last time Lu Nanting heard her voice was when her plane landed and she reported that she had arrived safely. His heart had been in his throat for a long time. Now, seeing her sitting obediently at the table, holding a white porcelain spoon and preparing to scoop something to eat, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

"When you're traveling alone, you need to eat your fill."

Gu Lanxi scooped a spoonful of sweet fermented rice balls into her mouth and immediately tasted the unique sweetness of autumn. She was so happy that she squinted her eyes.

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh: "Ten bodyguards, one secretary, and then there are company staff accompanying you. You're surrounded by more than a dozen people at all times. How can you say 'one person'?"

Lu Nanting was on his way home when he heard her say that, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Jiang peeked out from the side and chimed in, "Hey, bro, you finally smiled today!"

Gu Lanxi asked Xiao Jiang, "Your brother had a black face the whole time he attended the event today?"

"You talk too much!"

Despite being reprimanded by his boss, Xiao Jiang wasn't afraid: "The big boss is waiting for my reply! Boss, please don't interrupt!"

One sentence made everyone laugh, and the feeling of annoyance in my heart immediately dissipated.

"Then go ahead and complain! Tell the big boss how you've been mistreating me! This poor old man in his twenties has been oppressed, not allowed to touch his phone all day, and has eight strong men guarding him closely, afraid I'll cause trouble again. Wife, you have no idea how exciting it is to wrestle hand-to-hand with eight strong men!"

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh, but she just looked at Lu Nanting quietly without saying anything.

Once this guy gets carried away, he becomes as bold as Lu Dadan, arguing with people without any fear and daring to post anything on Weibo. Zhang Mingyuan has cleaned up enough messes, which is why he's so strict in guarding against him.

Lu Nanting registered his Weibo account using his mobile phone number. Even if Zhang Mingyuan changed the password, he could still retrieve it using the phone. Otherwise, Zhang Mingyuan wouldn't have confiscated his phone and had eight bodyguards guard him.

"If it weren't for them, would you have been able to do your job properly today?"

Zhang Mingyuan's sarcasm was relentless, and Lu Nanting didn't dare to respond at all.

When things got really heated, he even said he would disband the fan club. It's understandable that Zhang Mingyuan was so wary of him.

"How could that be? Bro, you've reached a whole new level of coolness, and your fans are heartbroken!"

Gu Lanxi didn't interrupt, quietly eating her meal and watching the two of them bicker.

Actually, after the half-day meeting, she was no longer angry.

With a thriving career and a happy life, she had absolutely no reason to get angry over a bunch of mad dogs passing by.

Xiao Jiang was sensible; after saying a few words, he stopped talking and gave the two of them some space.

"Gu Manman, the whole internet is talking about me now. It's not without reason that I'm always on guard against both men and women. They all say they understand me."

Gu Lanxi went out dressed like that, relying entirely on her inner qualities to attract others; most people couldn't do that.

While the haters were relentlessly attacking her, the CP fans started digging for sweet moments everywhere.

Besides the "arguing guy" and the "archaeology guy," the social media accounts of the other three were also exposed one after another. Basically, everyone expressed regret about her being married, and then they all praised her in various ways.

The fans are incredibly proud, and they dare to speak up and confront even those who are just passing by in the comments section of haters.
