Chapter 15: Want to Trouble Me? Satisfy You!
As soon as Meng Lianyi left, only Li Ming and Hu Kai were left in the room.
Li Ming stared at Hu Kai closely and said: "Your foreign customer bought the steel slag you bought from the Honglong Steel Plant at a high price, and also went to the suburbs deep in the mountains south of our T city to look for meteorites. , this customer paid a high price for you to help him search for another meteorite in the southwest city of Z. In order to make money, you didn't even care about the injury on your arm and discharged yourself early. "
"Then you lied to Meng Lianyi and said you wanted to compensate her for searching for meteorites. In fact, it was all for your own benefit, right, Hu Kai." Li Ming continued.
"You...how do you know...I didn't say..." Hu Kai's eyes kept turning in confusion, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Ming. His fearful expression showed a bit of uneasiness. Fortunately, his psychological quality was relatively high. , and there were no excessive physical actions.
But every sentence and every word Li Ming said revealed Hu Kai's true inner thoughts. Hu Kai looked shocked when he heard this, and even looked at Li Ming's face in horror.
"You came to me because you actually still have a grudge against me for hurting you. It just so happened that your foreign friend brought a powerful bodyguard. You wanted me to fight him so that the foreign friend's bodyguard could help you. You'll have to suffer a lot for being angry, and besides, Meng Lianyi did ask me to go to City Z with him, which just goes along with your wishful thinking," Li Ming continued.
With these words, he told all the other party's true thoughts. The fear of having others see through his mind and speak directly, immediately appeared on Hu Kai's face, and large beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
Are you a human? is it possible? How can an idea that has not been told to anyone be revealed by the other party in one sentence? What is going on?
Hu Kai's expression was dull and he couldn't say a word. His blurred eyes kept avoiding Li Ming's eyes.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open. Meng Lianyi had come back and sat in his original position. However, when he saw the expression on Hu Kai's face and the sweat on his face, he became a little puzzled. He quickly took out a piece of paper from the table and wiped it with him. , and said: "What's wrong with you? I'm going to go out and take a call. Why are you sweating on your forehead and your face is so pale? Do you want to go back to the hospital?"
Hu Kai took the tissue with his left hand and wiped Han with his hands. His hands were shaking a little. He shook his head repeatedly and whispered: "No, I'm fine. No need."
Li Ming looked at Meng Lianyi again, smiled slightly, and said: "Hu Kai just told me all his ideas. He will arrange the trip to Z City, and starting tomorrow, Hu Kai plans to hire me as his The bodyguard also gave me a job while I was unemployed, and also allowed me to go see the foreign friend together. "
"You should go too. I heard that the foreign friend also has a bodyguard. He just wants me to discuss things with him, right Hu Kai." Li Ming said lightly.
Meng Lianyi listened with a confused look on her face, smiled bitterly, and said, "Are you kidding me? Li Ming? Your colleagues and I haven't seen you have the potential to be a bodyguard for so long."
Li Ming continued to smile slightly and said, "That was before, but it's different now."
"Ah...what, the bodyguard matter is not urgent. We will talk about it later. I have booked a room in the hotel. I heard that there was a power outage and a fire in your community. You can stay here for one night first, and you will not live in that community in the future. "Okay, I'll find a better place for you," Hu Kai said suddenly.
Li Ming suddenly looked at Hu Kai and said: "We can't delay the bodyguard matter. It's settled. You have to sign a contract with me tomorrow. The salary is too low and I won't do it."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say will be done," Hu Kai said quickly.
Meng Lianyi looked confused on the side. She didn't know what happened between the two people just now. Her eyes kept looking at Hu Kai. What she said just now was not like what this young and promising man said. Young Master's usual tone.
"You guys eat slowly, I'll leave first." Li Ming said and stood up to leave.
Seeing this, Hu Kai quickly came to the door, opened it, and said, "Lianyi, please wait here while I send Li Ming up to rest."
Li Ming originally planned to go home, but when he thought that the house he rented had burned down, he might as well stay in this hotel for one night. Hu Kai paid for it anyway.
Hu Kai took Li Ming to the tenth floor of the hotel and took Li Ming to a room that had been opened in advance.
The rooms here cost thousands of dollars in accommodation fees every night. They are luxurious and luxurious, but they are also very comfortable. Although Li Ming is a fourth-level civilization higher than humans, he cannot get rid of human nature before he reaches the seventh level. This comfortable place is naturally satisfying.
Hu Kai looked at Li Ming's satisfied expression. Just when he was about to say something, Li Ming suddenly said: "You don't need to ask, I am serious about being your bodyguard. Although I told you what I really think, but I have no intention of rejecting you, you can continue to do what you want.”
Hu Kai was shocked again, because Hu Kai was just about to ask Li Ming if Li Ming was serious about being a bodyguard. Unexpectedly, Li Ming once again told Hu Kai's true thoughts.
From the time he called Li Ming to come over, Hu Kai had already designed a perfect set of words. He thought his idea was perfect, because he also learned from Meng Lianyi that Li Ming had just been fired by the company, had no job, and was a foreigner. The staff not only rented the house here, but also the car in installments.
In this case, Li Ming would most likely agree to the request of Hu Kai's bodyguard, and then use the gimmick of a sparring match to let Li Ming confront the foreign bodyguard. As Li Ming, he must not be the opponent of a professional bodyguard. In this way, it is also considered as a benefit to himself. He vented his anger and avenged his injured arm. On the other hand, it also made Li Ming suffer a little. Afterwards, he fired Li Ming and let the other party know the consequences of provoking him.
But now his script is inexplicably known to Li Ming, but the other party continues to act according to his intentions, leaving Hu Kai a little confused.
Li Ming walked around the room, very satisfied with the environment and facilities here, because Li Ming had never stayed in such a high-end hotel. After checking, Li Ming showed a somewhat satisfied smile and said: " You can follow your original plan for tomorrow and the rest of the trip. Don't make any changes. You are a businessman and you can calculate many things better than others. But let me remind you that things can be calculated, people. You can never calculate."
Hu Kai looked at Li Ming's confident look and nodded gently, and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will have someone send you the contract tomorrow. As for the subsequent arrangements, we can make decisions based on the situation."
Li Ming glanced at Hu Kai and said seriously: "The matter of bodyguards and going to Z city cannot be delayed for a minute. It is not based on the situation, but arranged immediately."
Hu Kai squirmed a little when he heard that, feeling that the other party seemed to be ordering him, but Hu Kai didn't show it right away. Anyway, Li Ming also agreed to be a bodyguard, and also knew that he wanted to compete with the foreign bodyguard, so we'll see tomorrow. Let’s see what kind of goods Li Ming is.
"Okay, okay, I'll find someone to make arrangements right away." After Hu Kai finished speaking, he turned and left.
Li Ming looked at the night sky outside the window, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.
After Hu Kai went downstairs, he returned to his private room. Meng Lianyi was playing with her mobile phone and eating the food on the table. When she saw Hu Kai, she said casually: "What did you say when you went up and took so long? Why?" Yes, what does it mean to ask Li Ming to be your bodyguard?”
Hu Kai came to his seat and sat down. He sighed slightly and began to think wildly in his head. After glancing at Meng Lianyi, he did not answer directly and asked: "Are you familiar with this Li Ming? Has he ever practiced martial arts?"
"Didn't I tell you? No one in our company knows him better than me. He has never even been to the gym, let alone practicing martial arts." Meng Lianyi said.
Hu Kai was even more puzzled after hearing this.
Meng Lianyi pushed Hu Kai with her hand and said, "You haven't answered me yet. What do you mean by asking him to be a bodyguard? Why are you competing with foreigners? Don't you want to punish him? Let me tell you, Fortunately, he sent me back that night, otherwise I would definitely break up with you. You'd better not make any mistakes. You have to thank him. "
Hu Kai touched his forehead with his left hand, took a deep breath, and said: "I had a crooked idea at first, then I lost it, and now he has it again."
"What do you mean? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen?" Meng Lianyi asked in confusion.
Hu Kai glanced at Meng Lianyi. Naturally, he did not dare to express his obscene thoughts. If Meng Lianyi knew that he wanted to harm Li Ming, his image would be completely ruined.
"Okay, okay, let's eat. I'll take you home after eating. Don't ask. There's nothing else to do now." Hu Kai declined casually and picked up his chopsticks.
Hu Kai's words and deeds today seemed a bit abnormal to Meng Lianyi, but he was not in the mood to ask more questions, so he just hummed and continued eating.
At this time, Li Ming, who was upstairs, was leaning on the sofa, with his legs squared on the soft seat. It was a bit more comfortable than on the bed. The TV content in front of him did not require manual operation, and could be switched freely with Li Ming's consciousness. .
Not only the TV, but also Li Ming can freely operate the switches and switches of all the electrical appliances in the house with his own consciousness. This ability makes Li Ming feel more comfortable and useful.
I feel like a magician. This feeling of dominance can be described in just one word, cool!
However, while doing this, Li Ming also discovered a serious problem, which is the consumption of energy in the body. It feels like eating and drinking water, the most common daily meal for humans. Only when food and water are adequately supplied can humans have enough energy. The spirit and strength to work, and after overwork, hunger will also appear.
As a fourth-order civilization, Li Ming is somewhat different from humans. The lack of energy will produce a feeling of emptiness, which is like having a lot of strength but not being able to use it.
Although Li Ming doesn't have a strong sense of emptiness yet, Li Ming knows very well that if his ability continues to be abused, that feeling will not be far away. If he absorbs the city's power excessively again, it will inevitably give the entire city power. people cause damage.
After all, this is Li Ming's home planet, so saving energy is still critical and necessary.
Thinking like this, Li Ming's whole body slowly relaxed, and he no longer used that ability at will. He lay quietly with his eyes half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
