My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 34: Hiring A Bodyguard (1)

Seeing that the time was not early anymore, Feng Xiyan said, "Uncle Huang, I’m going back to the barracks now. I will send the soldiers to transport more grains for the porridge stalls."

Huang Wenping saluted and said, "Yes, Young Master."

Carrying the wooden box, Feng Xiyan hurriedly left the Great General’s mansion.

Back at the barracks, the other generals were already waiting for him inside the commander’s tent. Each of them carried a wooden box.

Seeing Feng Xiyan return, Zhan Qi opened his wooden box and said, "Great General, I brought the new clothes my mother prepared for my future wife. Since I never planned to marry, I’ve decided to offer them to Fairy Bai."

Looking at the red wedding dress inside, Feng Xiyan paused as he recalled the one his mother had prepared for his own future wife.

While he was staring at the wedding dress, Tan Pengtai opened his smaller box and said, "My wife wants to offer these pieces of jewelry to Fairy Bai, in gratitude for saving our children’s lives."

After he said that, Xue Ruhong opened the large box beside him and said, "Great General, this is my grandfather’s favorite vase. My family is all gone now, so I have decided to give it to Fairy Bai. I hope this small offering can help save other families from starvation."

Looking at the offerings they brought, Feng Xiyan’s eyes reddened. These items weren’t worth much in silver or gold, but their sentimental value was priceless.

He looked at them and said sincerely, "Thank you."

After saying that, Feng Xiyan then placed his wooden box in front of the altar and knelt down with the generals.

Closing his eyes, he sincerely prayed, "May Heaven protect my Feng Army and Xiqiang City. These are small offerings from Xiyan and my brothers. I hope Fairy Bai won’t dislike them."

After he said that, he kowtowed three times. When his forehead touched the ground for the third time, the mirror shone brightly for a few seconds.

When Feng Xiyan and the generals raised their heads, the wooden boxes had vanished. In the next second, they reappear in the living room of Bai Hanyun’s house.

At the same time, Bai Hanyun had just parked her car in front of An Ning Security Company’s office. Stepping out of her car, she locked the door and entered the building.

Seeing only a female staff member behind the counter and no customers around, Bai Hanyun walked up to her.

Noticing her, the staff member stood up, smiled politely, and asked, "Hello, Miss. How can I help you?"

Bai Hanyun smiled back and replied, "I heard that this security company is the best in the field."

The staff member nodded and said, "That’s right. We have branches all over the country, and our agents are among the best."

Getting her confirmation, Bai Hanyun said, "I would like to hire a permanent personal bodyguard. Can you help me with the process?"

"Certainly. I will inform the manager. Please wait a moment." The female staff replied.

She then picked up the phone, dialed a number, and waited. When the call was connected, she said, "Manager Ma, there is a young lady here who wants to hire a permanent bodyguard. Mhm, alright."

Ending the call, she turned to Bai Hanyun and said, "Miss, Manager Ma will see you in the meeting room. Please follow me."

"Alright."

The female staff then led Bai Hanyun to a small meeting room on the second floor. Opening the door, she said, "Miss, please have a seat."

Bai Hanyun nodded and sat down. Shortly after, the staff member returned with a cup of tea.

Placing the cup of tea in front of Bai Hanyun, she said, "Miss, Manager Ma will be here in a moment. Please enjoy some refreshments while you wait."

"Thank you."

After she left, Bai Hanyun waited about five minutes before a man in his thirties entered with five men in black suits.

Smiling at her, the man extended a hand and politely said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss. I’m Ma Yuan. You can call me Manager Ma. Nice to meet you."

Bai Hanyun shook his hand. "My name is Bai Hanyun. Nice to meet you too, Manager Ma."

Gesturing for her to have a seat, Ma Yuan sat down in front of her and said, "I heard you are looking for a permanent bodyguard?"

"Yes."

Getting her confirmation, Ma Yuan gestured to the five men in black suits and introduced the group. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"These five are our best agents. All have martial arts backgrounds and rank in the top ten on national agent lists."

Bai Hanyun looked over at the five men. Four of them were heavily built, but the tall, lean man at the end caught her attention.

After a moment of thought, she pointed to him. "Manager Ma, he looks suitable for the job. How much is his salary?"

Ma Yuan was a little surprised by her choice. It was rare for clients to choose someone without a larger build since bodyguards with huge muscles were more intimidating and popular amongst the clients.

Although he was surprised, Ma Yuan didn’t show any of it in his smiling face. "Miss Bai has a sharp eye. That’s our top agent, rank number one, Hua Yuyu."

After introducing Hua Yuyu, he opened a folder and handed it to Bai Hanyun.

Reading through Hua Yuyu’s profile, Bai Hanyun saw that Hua Yuyu was a former special forces captain, proficient with various weapons, an expert in martial arts, and fluent in seven languages.

Looking at Hua Yuyu’s impressive background and achievements, she hesitated.

After a moment of thought, she looked up at Ma Yuan and asked, "Master Hua’s profile is very impressive... I assume his salary is quite high, right?"

Ma Yuan chuckled and explained, "Our company only acts as a liaison between clients and bodyguards. We charge a 10% fee on the salary, which is borne by clients. As for the actual price, the client can negotiate directly with the bodyguard."
