Chapter 181: Back From the Dead

The TV was on, and it was the news of Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli's official announcement.

The phone notifications were also about Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli's official announcement.

Even in the WeChat groups, everyone was sending news about Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli's official announcement.

Even when Xia Xiran wanted to calm down and study, the English reading comprehension turned out to be about a couple's daily life.

Xia Xiran was about to cry herself unconscious in the bathroom: she had even disconnected from the internet, so what more did they want from her?

Ever since the official announcement of their relationship, Jiang Muye's popularity hadn't dropped at all. He didn't care whether it dropped or not—he wasn't a celebrity anyway.

It was instead the enterprises under his name that got dug up by people.

The beef hotpot restaurant had come back from the dead, packed to the brim every session. The original owner—now the second-largest shareholder—was grinning so hard his jaw was about to dislocate.

Youwo Design Company's business expansion was going smoothly, and the commercial street Jiang Muye had previously bought could finish construction and open before next year's New Year, with an estimated market value exceeding two billion.

And "Jiang's Fruit Enterprise" was growing even more popular.

Jiang Muye had hired quite a lot of extra hands and done advertising as well; daily orders were overflowing, and the income was very considerable.

Jiang Muye shot straight up to first place on the new investors ranking, becoming the hot commodity that the media scrambled to report on.

The finance channel's favorite subject to report on was Jiang Muye.

At West City University, Jiang Muye had become an even hotter figure.

Whenever he went to class, a swarm of people squatted behind the classroom door.

In particular, Jiang Muye got a personal taste of what "self-recommendation" really meant.

"Hello, I'm Li Aotian from the marketing department. I've taken a liking to you. As long as you hire me, I'll definitely make your enterprise one of the world's top fifty!"

Jiang Muye's face was expressionless. "Sorry, my enterprise is already one of the world's top fifty."

"Sorry, let me start over." Li Aotian was just about to say something when he got shoved aside by someone else, who began showing off the hula hoop around his waist to Jiang Muye. "I'm Ye So-and-so from optical information science and technology. I'm definitely going to win the Nobel Prize in Mathematics in the future. This is my newly researched project, absolutely the hottest weight-loss tool of 2022. Look, it spins the hula hoop automatically."

Jiang Muye just watched as the hula hoop spun a few times and then fell to the ground.

"Sorry, that was an accident." When the other party wanted to give it another try, Jiang Muye helplessly pinched the space between his brows. "There's no Nobel Prize in Mathematics. Next."

Because his popularity was simply too high, and to avoid being pestered by strange people.

Aunt specially found six black-clad bodyguards to escort Jiang Muye.

"Greetings, Young Master!" The black-clad bodyguards lined up in a row, burly and imposing, very tall and mighty, just like a scene out of a Hong Kong film.

Jiang Muye naturally felt especially awesome.

But along with the awesomeness, problems naturally cropped up as well.

For example, when Little White Dove was playing games with Jiang Muye and Jiang Muye stole her kill, she angrily pushed Jiang Muye's arm. "You're so sneaky. Look, I don't have a single kill, they're all your assists!"

But the moment she touched him, a group of bodyguards rushed out.

They majestically and swiftly brought Little White Dove to justice on the spot. "Don't you dare harm the Young Master!"

Little White Dove's arms were pinned behind her back, her face pressed against the cold table, and she was howling.

Jiang Muye's eyes went wide, and he hurriedly told the bodyguards to let Little White Dove go. Little White Dove's eyes were brimming with tears as she shook her hands. "All you know how to do is bully me!"

Another example was when Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli went on a date.

Leng Ruoli ran over to hug Jiang Muye.

A swift gust of wind swept past, and in an instant Leng Ruoli was being carried off by the bodyguards.

Jiang Muye's face went red with anger. "Hey, damn it, that's my girlfriend, you don't need to stop her!"

When they were dating, Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli finally managed to sit shoulder to shoulder together.

But who would have thought a few bodyguards would stick to them like glue.

Jiang Muye glared at their black sunglasses.

Trying to kill them with his eyes, but they were unmoved.

Leng Ruoli was clearly a bit uncomfortable.

Jiang Muye wasn't used to it either. You want to hold hands, steal a kiss, but this whole group of people is standing right there watching.

Just like watching animals in a zoo. That feeling was especially uncomfortable.

Jiang Muye spoke up. "You can leave now."

"Our mission is to protect the Young Master's safety!" the bodyguards said righteously.

"This is my girlfriend. I'm very safe. What danger could she possibly pose to me!" Jiang Muye snapped, but they still wouldn't leave.

Jiang Muye went straight to his ultimate move and said coldly, "Fine, don't leave. Then just wait for me to find Aunt and have her fire all of you."

That instantly became the killer trump card.

The bodyguards looked at each other. How could they possibly let their golden rice bowl be completely smashed?

So they reached a consensus and said to Jiang Muye, "Then, Young Master, we'll observe from fifty meters away in the shadows."

"Fine." Although being secretly watched wasn't great, being able to observe from fifty meters away was better than showing off their presence right in front of him and being third wheels, wasn't it?

With that, the bodyguards all left.

Jiang Muye sighed. Were these bodyguards or ninjas?

In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

But at least it was nice and quiet. Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli started rubbing hands, then went to a Japanese restaurant to eat Japanese food, feeling wonderful.

After the meal, in the Japanese restaurant's private and wasteful environment, the mood between the two of them came.

Jiang Muye coaxed Leng Ruoli into giving him a hickey.

The two of them involuntarily grew intimate on the tatami. He let out a comfortable yelp of pain, and then cabinet doors were pulled open from all directions, and a group of black-clad bodyguards began to appear from outside.

"Young Master, are you alright!"

Leng Ruoli let out a shriek and buried her red face in Jiang Muye's embrace.

Jiang Muye was about to faint from anger.

He immediately fixed Leng Ruoli's clothes to avoid any indecent exposure, then protectively held Leng Ruoli and scolded those reckless bodyguards. "What are you doing!"

"Sorry, Young Master. We heard noises inside, especially since the Young Master cried out in pain. We were afraid the Young Master was under attack, so we all came in." The black-clad bodyguards' explanation didn't improve Jiang Muye's mood in the slightest.

Instead, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. "Please stay a hundred meters away from me. No, at least two hundred meters."

"But—"

"If this happens again, your wages get docked." Jiang Muye's eyes gave off a cold light, his aura intimidating. "All you need to do is listen to me."

With that, the black-clad bodyguards all fell silent like cicadas in winter, and left in unison.

After they left, Jiang Muye lowered his head and kissed Leng Ruoli's tender little face, coaxing her. "Don't be afraid, they're gone, it's just us now."

Leng Ruoli's little face was still pale, and it made Jiang Muye's heart ache.

Wanting to be intimate now would probably be difficult—after all, it had left Leng Ruoli with a shadow.

Jiang Muye sighed inwardly.

Was it easy for him to date?

As he left the Japanese restaurant, the System began to remind him: 【Congratulations, Host, for checking in at the Japanese restaurant for a total of one hour. You have obtained 500,000 RMB and 200 Grit Points.】

After dropping Leng Ruoli off at her dormitory, Jiang Muye began to seriously educate the six bodyguards.

The bodyguards who looked tall and burly in the eyes of outsiders had all turned from muscular macho men into super cute girls, obedient to the extreme.

All of them were all ears, not daring to retort a single word.

After Jiang Muye formally educated the bodyguards, similar situations finally stopped happening.

It was just a pity that Jiang Muye had also entered a rather busy period of work.

Although he hadn't inherited Chen Group, he had so many company projects under him.

Land was being developed, and buildings were being constructed.

Jiang Muye naturally had to go survey the sites in person.

As a boss, how could he not have a suitable suit? So Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli went to a top-tier design studio to find a designer to design a suit, but he had never imagined there would be complications.
