    “What kind of job pays that well?

    Tell your old lady here, I might take it up myself!” the landlady joked.

    “You can’t do this one, it’s a bodyguard plus driver,” Lin Yifan replied.

    “Who says I can’t do it!

    This bulk of mine can absorb impacts, serving as a human sandbag; and, for your information, I can drift 360 degrees, my driving skills are unbeatable.”

    The landlady boasted without any reservation, making everyone in the restaurant laugh.

    “Blowhard!

    Keep it up!”

    Lin Yifan was speechless; when this sister started bragging, her rhetoric was truly something, making it hard not to laugh.

    “Alright, enough teasing, your noodles will be ready in a jiffy!”

    Life and death are predestined, wealth is in the heavens, some things you just can’t force, and besides, she had no idea how tough and dangerous Lin Yifan’s job would be; hence, it was better for her to keep her feet on the ground and focus on her work.

    A few minutes later, a delicious and steaming bowl of mixed sauce noodles was served to Lin Yifan’s table.

    Lin Yifan immediately picked up his chopsticks and started wolfing down the food.

    In no time at all, he finished the mixed sauce noodles.

    Then, he called out loudly, “Landlady!

    Check, please!”

    “Oh my, that was quick!

    Were you starving?

    Want another bowl?

    I’ll charge you half-price for the second bowl!”

    “No need, I’m full!” Lin Yifan patted his round belly and replied.

    The landlady was a good person, but he had a lot to do tonight, so it wasn’t wise to eat too much.

    Since Lin Yifan had finished eating, the landlady didn’t press on and simply said, “Same old price—eight bucks.”

    Lin Yifan pulled out a hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the landlady, saying, “Sister, here’s a hundred, keep the change as thanks for your kindness these days.”

    “How can I accept that!

    The amount I’ve charged you lately hasn’t even added up to a hundred; plus, I helped you willingly, so there’s no need for repayment; you should keep it for yourself, or give it to your family.”

    The landlady pushed the money back.

    Seeing this, Lin Yifan had no choice but to quickly stuff the money back to the landlady and then made a hasty exit from the restaurant.

    “Thank you, landlady!”

    The landlady wanted to chase after him, but Lin Yifan was already far away, about to get into the car.

    Helpless, she had to accept the hundred yuan.

    “The kid’s way too polite!”

    ...

    Leaving the restaurant and driving a hundred meters further, Lin Yifan stopped in front of a mobile service store.

    This afternoon, An Qi had asked him to buy a phone card in the evening to facilitate contact; therefore, this was one of his tasks, which he needed to get done early.

    After choosing a phone number and topping up a hundred yuan of credit, he left the mobile service store.

    After that, he continued driving to his rented apartment.

    Upon arrival, he went up to the fifth floor and called the landlord out to talk about terminating the lease.

    Since he was terminating the lease early, which constituted a breach of contract, he needed to pay a penalty; however, these were small expenses, not a problem for him now.

    A few minutes later, having settled the termination of the lease, he immediately started moving without delay.

    The landlord, curious about his late-night move, asked, “Young man, where are you moving to?”

    “South City District!” Lin Yifan replied.

    “South City District?

    Seems like you’re moving up in the world, young man,” the landlord remarked.

    The comment was grounded; in Guiyuan City, South City District is synonymous with affluence, a hub for the wealthy, with generally high salary levels.

    “Not at all, still just a working man,” Lin Yifan humbly responded.

    “Well, I won’t keep you any longer.

    Just give me a shout when you’re done moving, so I can lock up the room,” the landlord said.

    “Sure thing!”

    In less than half an hour, Lin Yifan had packed up all his belongings.

    After loading his luggage into the car, he handed the keys to the landlord, then drove off.

    It took him about an hour to return to the renting residence in South City District.

    There, he called out the landlady; then he settled the rent and the deposit with her.

    The elderly landlady did not expect Lin Yifan to be so polite, seeing him as an honest and trustworthy young man.

    However, she had a doubt that needed clarifying from Lin Yifan, “Young man, if you can afford a luxury car, why do you need to rent a place?”

    “The luxury car isn’t mine, I’m just a driver and bodyguard for a CEO of a public company,” Lin Yifan answered, easing her concern.

    “Where do you work now?” the old lady continued to inquire.

    She wanted to verify the truthfulness of Lin Yifan’s words; for some reason, she felt that the young man might have multiple identities and needed to be cautious.
