Chapter 439

Zhu Yun looked at Qin Feng and asked curiously, "Qin Feng, who is this woman? Do you know each other?"

"Mm."

Qin Feng responded, peeled a few more shrimp for Yu Zhouzhou, and then, while taking off his gloves, said, "She is a teacher at a university in Shanghai named Hu Yifei. She can be considered a high-IQ talent. Actually, you should have seen her before; she was the one leading students in practice on the sports field this morning."

"It's her?"

Zhu Yun was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

When they bumped into each other this morning, Hu Yifei had her hair in a high ponytail, wore a training suit, had no makeup on, and wore a frosty expression.

But now,

Hu Yifei had her long hair draped over her shoulders, wore short sleeves and hot pants, and walked over gracefully in high heels on her long, straight legs. Both her style and temperament were completely different from the morning.

So, for a moment, Zhu Yun truly hadn't recognized her.

At this moment,

Hu Yifei had finished buying her food and was carrying her tray toward the table where Qin Feng and Yu Zhouzhou were sitting.

Seeing this, Zhu Yun immediately stood up and looked at Qin Feng, saying, "Qin Feng, switch seats with me, hurry!"

"Huh?"

Although puzzled, Qin Feng stood up and switched seats with Zhu Yun, then sat down next to Yu Zhouzhou.

When Hu Yifei arrived, she had no choice but to sit next to Zhu Yun.

However, Hu Yifei didn't seem to mind.

After sitting down, she took the initiative to place the food she had bought alongside theirs.

Then, with a smile, she said, "Let me introduce myself. Hu Yifei, tutor and associate professor in the Mathematics Department at Shanghai Polytechnic University, 29 years old. Do you need me to introduce my height, weight, or measurements?"

"No, no need..."

Zhu Yun awkwardly took over the conversation and said, "I'm Zhu Yun, a freshman in the Computer Science Department at Tsinghua-Peking. I'm 20. This is Yu Zhouzhou, a freshman in the Art Department at Tsinghua-Peking..."

"Art Department?"

Before Zhu Yun could finish, Hu Yifei looked at Yu Zhouzhou with interest and asked, "Zhouzhou, if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you go to the Sports Institute?"

"Sports Institute?"

Yu Zhouzhou gave a faint smile. "I've been learning the cello from my mother since I was a child, so I applied to the Art Department."

"Is that so?"

Hu Yifei sounded a bit regretful. She shook her head and said, "What a pity. You have the potential of a world champion but went to the Art Department instead. Yu Zhouzhou, if you had entered the Sports Institute, you would very likely have set your own world records."

After saying this,

Hu Yifei didn't offer further explanation and looked directly at Qin Feng. "Qin Feng, Yumuo contacted me when I arrived. She is currently undergoing closed-door training at the company, and Meijia is staying there to keep her company. I heard they are filming a new movie?"

"Mm."

Qin Feng responded, "The script for *Lost in the Stars*, which Da Mimi is lead-investing in, is quite good. They did some promotion and publicity a few days ago; the box office should be very good."

"I heard that from Yumuo."

Hu Yifei replied, then added, "However, Yumuo also mentioned something else: that during the press conference, you couldn't find female bodyguards, so you took the risk of having your own people drive Da Mimi and Tian'ai to the venue?"

Qin Feng laughed upon hearing this. "Yumuo even told you that? Actually, it's fine. It wasn't that we couldn't find female bodyguards, it's just that we feel more at ease with our own people."

"Understood, Qin Feng."

Hu Yifei replied, then looked straight into Qin Feng's eyes and said, "Then Qin Feng, let me be a bodyguard for your company. I don't want much, just 50,000 a month. Do we have a deal?"

... ===== CHAPTER 996 =====

"Bodyguard?"

Qin Feng looked at Hu Yifei with some surprise. "Yifei, why do you want to be a bodyguard at my company, and for 50,000 a month?"

Hu Yifei smiled. "Because I'm suited to be a bodyguard, your company is short of them, and I don't think 50,000 a month is a high price. It's very appropriate for me."

Uh... that was a non-answer...

However, Qin Feng didn't care much. "Yifei, aren't you supposed to lead your students in the opening ceremony performance? If you become a bodyguard at my company, what about those kids? And your teaching job?"

"They don't conflict."

Hu Yifei said with a smile, "I can report to your company after the performance. As for my teaching career, it was just a hobby to begin with. I teach when I feel like it, and I'll change professions when I don't. Besides, an associate professor's salary isn't much per month."

"So, Qin Feng, 50,000 a month—do you accept or not?"

"Fine."

Since Hu Yifei had put it that way, Qin Feng agreed quite readily.

However, Qin Feng noticed the state Yu Zhouzhou was in beside him.

She was like an arrow notched on a bowstring, waiting for the moment to be released.

Qin Feng was puzzled by this.

The soft and cute Yu Zhouzhou had always been kind to others; even Andy, who had seen countless people, spoke highly of her.

Why would Yu Zhouzhou show such undisguised hostility upon seeing Hu Yifei today?

However,

despite the intense hostility,

Yu Zhouzhou didn't make any excessive moves.

She remained as sweet and well-behaved as usual,

just quietly listening to the conversation between Qin Feng and Hu Yifei, neither interrupting nor interjecting.

But,

Yu Zhouzhou never retracted the powerful hostility she was radiating, for reasons unknown.

Regarding this,

Qin Feng didn't dwell on it too much.

He knew that it was absolutely impossible for Yu Zhouzhou to harm him.

Therefore, the one with the problem

must be Hu Yifei.

Come to think of it,

ever since Hu Yifei suddenly returned to Shanghai last time,

there had been no contact between them.

This time,

Qin Feng happened to run into Hu Yifei on campus,

and then Hu Yifei took the initiative to ask to be a bodyguard for his company.

It seemed too bizarre.

Therefore,

Hu Yifei had an agenda.

But as for what that agenda was, Qin Feng didn't need to guess.

Hu Yifei would show her true colors sooner or later.

It wouldn't be too late to deal with her then.

Moreover,

Qin Feng wasn't the least bit worried that Hu Yifei would cause trouble in the company.

After all,

Qin Feng’s company currently had Andy in charge.

In terms of schemes and methods, Andy was someone who could play Hu Yifei to her death.

Plus, with experts like Xu Li, Qu Xiaoxiao, and Da Mimi,

no matter how much Hu Yifei wanted to jump around, she wouldn't be able to.

Consequently,

Qin Feng directly pushed Andy’s contact information to Hu Yifei.

Then he said, "Yifei, I’ve already spoken to Andy. When you’re not busy, go ahead and handle the onboarding. The salary will be the 50,000 a month you asked for. As for your work duties, just protect Andy for now. If there’s a need for you elsewhere later, we’ll talk."

"Good."

Hu Yifei responded immediately, then focused on her food and said nothing more.

Yu Zhouzhou took one last quiet look at Hu Yifei, then picked up the shrimp Qin Feng had peeled for her, put it in her mouth, and began to chew slowly... ===== CHAPTER 997 =====
