After rebirth, they all want to monopolize me

Chapter 159 Qingyuan Doesn't Want Dad to Swallow a Thousand Needles

After hanging up Liu Yanzheng's call, Jiang Li sat back down next to Huang Huowang.

"What's wrong? What did the director say to you? You look a bit serious, Brother Jiang." Huang Huowang patted Jiang Li on the back.

Logically speaking, since the mission was completed and Brother Jiang made such a great contribution, Director Liu should have called him specifically to praise him. But why did he seem to be being criticized?
"It's nothing, it's just that, Brother Huang, I probably can't go back to Linhai with you." Jiang Li sighed.

"What's wrong?" Huang Huowang was taken aback.

Jiang Li smiled helplessly: "Director Liu just called me and told me that he has some urgent business to attend to and needs to go on a business trip to Japan."

"So eager? Going now without even taking a break?" Huang Huowang was also quite surprised.

Logically speaking, there should be other dragon guardians to take their place.

“Yes.” Jiang Li nodded. “I’ll take the next available flight to Japan to be a bodyguard for the eldest daughter of the Hojo family.”

"Oh, is that so? That's good, a lucrative position," Huang Huowang said with a smile.

Huang Huowang had heard of the eldest daughter of the Hojo family. She had considerable influence in both the business and political circles of the island nation, and even had a number of shady businesses.

Huang Huowang was initially worried that Jiang Li might be going on some dangerous mission again.

However, serving as the bodyguard for the eldest daughter of the Hojo family is indeed an easy job.

Because no one would actually lay a hand on the eldest daughter of the Hojo family.

Sometimes the Dragon Guardian Division would send out some trainee Dragon Guardians to take on similar security service tasks.

It's estimated that they saw Jiang Li was a bit free during his vacation and that this would also provide him with some extra income, so they simply sent him out. They called it security, but it was more like a vacation.

"It's not a big problem. We'll have a drink together after you come back from Japan. But Jiang Li, you have to remember, we're just doing part-time work, and the monthly salary is only so-so. Why risk your life? If anything happens, protect yourself first," Huang Huowang earnestly advised.

"I know, Brother Huang." Jiang Li nodded.

"Okay, it's almost time to board. I'm going to board now." The boarding gate staff were calling out boarding instructions, and Huang Huowang carried his luggage to join the queue.

"Take care, Brother Huang."

Jiang Li waved goodbye to Huang Huowang and saw him off onto the plane.

Less than ten minutes after Huang Huowang boarded the plane, an airport female staff member approached Jiang Li: "Hello, are you Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded.

"Hello Mr. Jiang, I am the person in charge of XX Airlines at Baishan Airport. Your original ticket to Linhai City has been refunded. Here is your ticket to Nagoya International Airport in Japan and your passport. Have a pleasant journey."

The staff member handed a file bag to Jiang Li.

To be honest, she didn't understand when she received this temporary task, but the female staff member still carried it out as soon as possible.

"Thank you."

Jiang Li thanked them, took the document bag, and headed to another boarding gate.

After arriving at the boarding gate, with about forty minutes left before boarding, Jiang Li received various text messages, all indicating that she had activated various international services and international roaming packages.

In a short period of time, most of the preparations for going abroad have been completed.

All Jiang Li needed to do was board the plane and land. Feeling she still had some time, Jiang Li made a video call to Liu Qingqing.

“Hey, boss~” Liu Qingqing answered almost instantly, “I heard from Shanshan that you’re coming back today, right? When are you arriving? We’re preparing a big meal for you.”

"I was originally planning to come back this afternoon, but some things came up and I have to go to Japan. I might not be back for another month." Jiang Li also felt a little guilty.

"Huh?" Liu Qingqing blinked, her tone a little disappointed. "Another month?"

"It's a temporary task," Jiang Li said. "Where's Qing Yuan? Let her answer the phone."

"Oh, oh... But boss, you should talk to Qingyuan nicely. She's so happy to know you're coming back today," Liu Qingqing said softly.

“I know.” Jiang Li nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go call Qingyuan."

Liu Qingqing took her phone and walked out of the room.

Through the camera, Jiang Li saw Qing Yuan playing with a pom-pom with Xiao Sanhua in the living room.

"Qingyuan, it's your dad's phone!" Liu Qingqing called out.

"Daddy~" Hearing her daddy's voice on the phone, Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly got up and ran over on her short legs. "Daddy, Qingyuan and Sister Shanshan cooked lots of delicious food! We're just waiting for you to come back~"

Hearing Qingyuan's excited voice, Jiang Li felt he had committed a terrible crime: "Qingyuan, I'm sorry, Daddy can't come back today."

"Huh?" Little Qingyuan blinked, lowered her head, and said dejectedly, "Why, Daddy?"

"Daddy has a last-minute mission to go to Japan and won't be back for at least a month, maybe half a month at the earliest. So Daddy can't come back today. But Daddy promised Qingyuan that when Daddy comes back, he'll bring her even more fun and interesting gifts, okay?"

Jiang Li comforted Xiao Qingyuan.

"Does Daddy really have to go?" Little Qingyuan asked, her head down and her lips pouting. She looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, Qingyuan. Daddy promises you, I'll definitely play with you a lot when I come back this time." Jiang Li's heart, that of an old father, felt like it had been hit hard.

"It's okay, Daddy. Daddy has work to do." Little Qingyuan raised her head and twisted her little head. "Qingyuan is okay, Qingyuan will be good and wait for Daddy to come back!"

"Yes, Qingyuan, don't worry, Daddy will definitely come back as soon as possible." Jiang Li knew that little Qingyuan was just pretending to be well-behaved; in reality, she was probably very sad.

The more obedient Xiao Qingyuan was, the more guilty Jiang Li felt.

"Okay, but Daddy can't lie to Qingyuan anymore~ I'll definitely come back in a month~" Little Qingyuan said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Daddy promises Little Green Kite."

"Pinky promise!" Little Green Kite raised her little finger.

"Pinky promise!" Jiang Li also gave a thumbs up. "A liar will have to swallow a thousand needles."

"No, no, Daddy, don't say the second half of the sentence." Little Qingyuan waved her hand.

Jiang Li asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because...because if Daddy doesn't come back, wouldn't he really have to swallow a thousand needles? Qingyuan doesn't want Daddy to swallow a thousand needles."
