Zheng Xiaotian immediately started working and switched to work mode.

Lin Ziyuan led Zheng Xiaotian to the construction site. Yes, it was right here.

Lin Ziyuan, wearing a helmet, walked ahead, with Zheng Xiaotian and Zhang Dakuai following behind. Zhang Dakuai was the bodyguard whose throat Zheng Xiaotian had hit. Now, his throat had recovered. On the way, he couldn't help but chat with Zheng Xiaotian, and they eventually became good friends.

"Who is our boss?" Zheng Xiaotian asked.

"Didn't I tell you? She's the heiress of the Lin Group and can be considered a half-idler," Zhang Dakuai said.

"Then why are we at the construction site?" Zheng Xiaotian continued.

"Before I answer your question, I have a question for you," Zhang Dakuai looked at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Sure, go ahead!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded.

"Please tell me, what is our current identity?" Zhang Dakuai asked.

"Bodyguards!" Zheng Xiaotian said.

"What is the job of a bodyguard?" Zhang Dakuai asked.

"Protect the employer's safety, but matters inside the house are not the bodyguard's responsibility. As long as it's not a field battle, a car battle, or any other kind of battle, we are responsible for the employer's personal safety," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Even if you want to, Miss Lin doesn't," Zhang Dakuai said. "Alright, let's get back to the point. Since we are bodyguards, we are also responsible for the debts of Miss Lin Ziyuan's company."

"Why should we?" Zheng Xiaotian immediately disagreed. He had never heard of such a thing. If you can't collect the debt, that's your problem. You should hire a professional debt collection company and give them at least a ten percent commission. Knowing it's a large sum of money, you want to make the bodyguards do it? There's no such good thing.

"We are bodyguards, what is our job?" Zhang Dakuai asked.

"Protect the employer's safety," Zheng Xiaotian looked at Zhang Dakuai, thinking, are you kidding? This is our job.

"Right, if the employer goes to collect the debt and her personal safety is threatened, shouldn't we protect her? Either she is surrounded by a hundred people, or she directly assigns this task to us. We can use some tactics to solve the problem. At worst, we will also be surrounded by a hundred people," Zhang Dakuai said.

Zheng Xiaotian looked at Zhang Dakuai. He thought, you must have been tricked by Lin Ziyuan many times.

"You two!" Lin Ziyuan stopped and turned around.

"Miss, what is it?" Zhang Dakuai said.

"Zhang Dakuai, you protect my safety. Zheng Xiaotian, you go and collect the outstanding payment for the Lin Group. It's only five million, how much is that? The other party is wealthy and won't owe us," Lin Ziyuan said to Zheng Xiaotian.

Zheng Xiaotian lowered his head. He thought, are you pretending you didn't hear my conversation with Zhang Daku? Are you pretending Zhang Dakuai didn't tell me the inside story? Are you trying to trick me like I'm a fool?

"What, don't want to go?" Lin Ziyuan said to the bowed Zheng Xiaotian. "If you can easily collect the debt today, I guarantee you won't be fired for a month. If you can't collect it today, I'll fire you now. You've worked for less than half a day, so I'll pay you fifty yuan for half a day."

Zheng Xiaotian thought, how can you not become a billionaire in the future? A monthly salary of three thousand, with eight days off, so the actual working days are twenty-two. Twenty-two days for three thousand, that's over a hundred per day, where does the fifty for half a day come from? Is it calculated by dividing three thousand by thirty?

"Miss Lin, what are you talking about? You said the other party won't owe such a small amount, so I'm just going to collect the money. It's just a matter of getting a check, very simple," Zheng Xiaotian smiled.

"Alright, go ahead. Walk fifty meters ahead, there's an office with the words 'Zhang Yang' clearly written on it, the construction site office. Go in, find the person in charge, and tell them you are here to collect the money for the Lin Group," Lin Ziyuan said.

"Okay, I understand," Zheng Xiaotian said.

Wearing a helmet, Zheng Xiaotian sighed and shook his head as he arrived at the construction site office. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in collecting the money, but he felt that from this, one could see that Lin Ziyuan was a very shrewd young lady. Working smoothly under such a young lady, living and getting paid, might be difficult...

Zheng Xiaotian sighed, placed his right hand on the big iron door, and pushed it open, walking in.

In the room, about ten people were smoking. The weather was hot, and with so many people, the air conditioning wasn't enough, making the temperature high. Some of them, who were particularly heat-sensitive, had taken off their clothes. They had tattoos of a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, and a small snake on their arms. They looked like a gang. Anyone who saw them would tremble.

"Kid, who are you looking for?" a man smoking a cigarette asked Zheng Xiaotian.

It was said that today, the boss's son would come to inspect all the construction sites. The son was said to have delicate and tender skin. So, these thugs were quite polite, speaking softly, not knowing if the person in front of them was the boss's son.

"I'm looking for the person in charge," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"The person in charge isn't here right now. Come in and have a seat," a thug stood up and hurriedly invited Zheng Xiaotian to sit down. Then, he offered cigarettes and served tea and water, showing obvious eagerness to please.

Zheng Xiaotian's request to see the person in charge had a demeanor that made him seem like a second-generation gangster. So, everyone immediately assumed he was the boss's son, here for an inspection.

"You're too polite," Zheng Xiaotian was embarrassed. In his mind, if the other party was rude, he would kick a couple of them to the ground to show his strength. But now, the other party was being so polite, treating him like a prince.

"Oh, we may look fierce, but we are actually cultured people. We often read books on Qidian, like 'Cultivation System for Ability Users,' which is a high-level book. This book is proof of our cultural status; we are genuine cultured people," the thug smiled.

"Ah?" Zheng Xiaotian was stunned, his mouth wide open.
