My absurd experiences in North America over the years

"If I may ask, Ms. Gadot, did you visit a beach hotel in Southern California earlier this year?"

This question surprised Gadot slightly.

Her fingers tightened slightly, her fingertips tracing a faint arc along the rim of the wine glass, then she looked up and stared directly at Li Fu. "I don't understand what you're talking about. At the beginning of the year, I was still serving in the military and had never been to any beach hotel."

Her denial was swift and decisive.

"Is that so?" Li Fu remained noncommittal.

The tall figure he saw that day looked very much like Gadot across the table.

However, in his previous life he had only seen her in movies or magazines, and he hadn't seen her face that day.

Therefore, I cannot be sure.

However, he and Gadot have already had contact by now.

The beautiful woman who appeared on the beach that day was most likely Gal Gadot, who now wants to establish herself in Los Angeles.

A barely perceptible smile curved his lips, but he didn't expose it. He knew it wasn't the right time to delve deeper; the lie might conceal a deeper secret, or even involve some hidden threads he was investigating.

Or perhaps the other party saw him as prey?

So who would be the one hunting him?

"What? Did you see someone who looks a lot like me on the beach?" Gadot asked curiously.

"The profile is very similar," Li Fu withdrew his probing gaze, leaned back slightly in his chair, and said, "If it's not you, then perhaps I was seeing things."

"It's clear that Mr. Li is someone who knows how to enjoy life. I just wonder which beautiful lady had the honor of accompanying you on this trip," Gadot said casually, seemingly unintentionally.

She wasn't being flattering.

Because Li Fu's physique and model are indeed very popular with girls, and his professionalism as a bodyguard is outstanding, he can fulfill many of the fantasies of young girls.

Having an exceptionally beautiful face and figure can be more attractive than one's social status.

Moreover, he possesses an unknown mystique.

As a newcomer to Hollywood, not a future superstar.

It's normal for Gadot to have these feelings.

"If I said I went alone, would you believe me?" Li Fu looked at her quietly.

"Believe it! Why wouldn't you believe it?" Gadot smiled and shrugged.

They both knew the other was testing them.

But they all tacitly agreed not to say it out loud.

"Okay, I can take your bodyguard job," Li Fu said, getting back to the point, "but I can only do it for two months at most."

Gadot was taken aback, clearly not expecting the topic to change so quickly; she had been prepared to continue maneuvering.

"Two months..." She hesitated for a moment, "Two months it is! In two months, this whole mess should be over."

"However, I have my own rules," Li Fu began to try to add conditions.

"What are the rules?"

Gadot raised an eyebrow and tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

"I can follow your requests for daily arrangements and travel, but when it comes to safety decisions, you must listen to me," Li Fu said in a low voice with an unquestionable force. "If you don't listen to my advice because you're in a bad mood or for other reasons, I'll just knock you out and carry you out."

Gadot was stunned upon hearing this.

She had seen too many obsequious lackeys and heard of those who relied on tricks to have shady relationships with their employers, but she had never seen a bodyguard who openly talked about "controlling the employer."

This extreme self-confidence made her feel slightly displeased.

"What if I disagree?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Then you'll have to find someone else," Li Fu shrugged.

It seems like they don't care at all.

Gadot stared at him for a few seconds, trying to find any trace of bluff on his face, but she only saw a bottomless calm.

It felt like staring into an abyss.

She loosened her grip on the wine glass, relaxed her body, and gave a standard smile. "Are you like this when you're filming short videos too?"

Clearly, she had watched short videos on YouTube.

"That was just for fun, it's completely different from protecting you," Li Fu shook his head in denial. "Sometimes danger comes in an instant, and the decision you make in that instant can be the difference between heaven and hell."

"Is Los Angeles really that dangerous?" Gadot shook her head.

"It's hard to say. You haven't seen Los Angeles at night yet, and sometimes the danger doesn't come from the thugs in the open. They're very good at disguising themselves," Li Fu couldn't help but chuckle.

The 21-year-old "Wonder Woman" is still a bit naive.

"Okay! I agree," Gadot conceded, "but you'll have to compromise on the salary."

She's still a newcomer and doesn't have that much money to burn.

Of course, more importantly, her competitive spirit prevented her from letting Li Fu gain the upper hand.

She recounted how difficult it was for her to come to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams, and how outrageous the daily expenses in this international metropolis were.

It's like playing the sympathy card brilliantly.

"Then let's calculate it at a 10% discount," Li Fu said, not wanting to argue further.

"30% off," Gadot bargained.

"You're even more ruthless than those capitalists! Why didn't you just say 50% off?" Li Fu hadn't expected her to be so ruthless in pushing the price down.

"That discount can't be more than 20% off," Gadot said, making a gesture with the Chinese character for eight.

It seems she was prepared.

"OK, since you've gone to learn Chinese characters specifically, I'll give you a 20% discount," Li Fu said, not continuing.

Once they agreed on the price, there were no further obstacles.

Both of them felt they had achieved their goal, and all that was left was to enjoy the meal.

That evening, the two left through the back door of the restaurant, leaving the paparazzi and tabloid reporters waiting outside completely disappointed.

The next day, Li Fu went to work.

This isn't the first time he's served as a bodyguard for a top-tier beauty.

But this time it's really different.

Gal Gadot is new here and doesn't have much free time right now.

Strangely, she didn't seem to be in a hurry.

She has a very regular daily routine and seems to pay attention to health.

I practice yoga in the morning and go for a run in the afternoon.

In the evening, Li Fu was about to go home after get off work when she insisted on going out for a walk.

"Don't you know how dangerous Los Angeles is at night?"

He was really speechless.

"Of course I know. If it weren't dangerous, I wouldn't need to hire bodyguards," Gadot said, seemingly unconcerned.

It looks like it was done on purpose.

"Fine, tonight's work must be counted as overtime," Li Fu gritted his teeth.

"Of course, I'm not the unscrupulous capitalist you're describing," Gadot readily agreed.

Li Fu raised an eyebrow; he now understood why the other party wanted to offer a 20% discount.

So that's where he was waiting!

However, after he tidied up his dagger and pistol for self-defense, Gadot did not begin her adventure.

She was actually going for a walk.

The two didn't even leave the neighborhood; they just took a walk around the park surrounding the apartment.

While this place may not be on par with Lucy's Apartments, it is still considered an upper-middle-class or higher affluent neighborhood.

The park has facilities such as basketball courts and tennis courts.

The environment is also quite nice.

There were many teenagers playing ball in the evening.

Some elderly people were also taking a walk in the park.

This environment is generally not dangerous.

Li Fu glanced at Gadot, realizing how clownish his actions of checking the firearms had been.

"I never said I was going to leave the community," Gadot said innocently. "How was I supposed to know you were going to be fully armed?"
