Chapter 20

In fact, the background of Chu Nan was quite simple. He went to Longgu to treat Li Bandao under very secret circumstances. Apart from a few high-ranking military figures and a few of Li Bandao's close confidants, few people knew about it, after all, it was classified information.

After listening to Chu Nan's response, Xia Yuechan nodded and then dialed a phone number in front of her: "Tine, help me look up this person... the more detailed the information, the better..."

Then, Xia Yuechan maintained her posture leaning against the bookshelf, quietly looking at Chu Nan. The two of them remained silent for a long time.

Not long after, Xia Yuechan's phone rang. She listened for a long time in silence, and finally, she hung up the phone, looking at Chu Nan with a slightly surprised expression: "Started practicing medicine at twelve? —— Supposedly from a family of traditional Chinese medicine? And now a student at Jinghua University? Admitted through recommendation, I didn't expect you to be as capable as you are. It seems you didn't lie to me."

Chu Nan, listening to Xia Yuechan's questioning, was speechless... The awkward state he was in was mostly an act, and it was really exhausting. So he said, "Now... can I go...?"

To his surprise, Xia Yuechan nodded and said indifferently, "Whenever you want."

Just like that, he could leave?

Chu Nan couldn't quite believe his ears, but then he thought, Xia Yuechan probably just wanted to confirm his identity, and now she felt comfortable letting him go.

However, just as Chu Nan stood up, for some reason, his brain went into a spasm, and he actually asked, "Miss, you said you would help me pay the rent... is that true?"

"False." Xia Yuechan's cold and indifferent response left Chu Nan speechless!!

"You... lied to me..." Chu Nan seemed to be greatly wronged.

"Have you never heard that you can't trust pretty women?" Xia Yuechan didn't even bother to look back at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan had no choice but to walk to the balcony and, with a leap, crossed over to the neighboring balcony.

Even if he was cleared of suspicion, he couldn't leave through the front door. If the surveillance cameras showed him leaving but not entering, it would definitely raise suspicion and speculation.

Chu Nan had already shown some of his skills today, which went against his low-key style!

Ten minutes later.

Chu Nan left the apartment and returned to the dormitory.

As expected, the dormitory phone rang, and the caller was the previous Uncle Zhao.

Without a word, Chu Nan said into the phone, "Salary, I want my salary! I jumped up and down four or five times today, I can't be a free bodyguard anymore!"

"..."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"What happened?" Uncle Zhao asked, very surprised.

So, Chu Nan told him about his experience. To his surprise, after a moment of silence, the other end burst into hearty laughter.

"Damn, what's so funny! —— Why don't you try jumping back and forth on the 21st floor balcony four or five times?"

"Ha ha ha... okay, okay, no more laughing. Speaking of which, your skills are really quite agile, and you were quite quick-witted in this matter, but you still lack experience in certain areas." After a pause, Uncle Zhao continued, "As for the salary... actually, the old man mentioned it long ago, but you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you..."

Damn, I didn't even care about it!

On the way to school, Chu Nan had already thought it through... practicing medicine according to the Chu family's ancestral rules, one visit per treatment, the money comes in too slowly. Now, Chu Nan was really broke. After paying tuition, deducting living expenses and other miscellaneous fees, there was hardly any money left. In a short time, even basic living would be a problem. If he were to be Li Bandao's bodyguard, he could earn some extra money!

"How much salary?"

"Hehe, aren't you usually quite indifferent to money?" Uncle Zhao laughed, "One number, the old man said giving you more wouldn't be useful, one number per year."

"One number? One hundred?"

"Yes."

"Damn!! Another one hundred!! And one hundred a year, no way, no way, this handsome guy won't do it!" Chu Nan instantly got angry! Am I "One Hundred Brother"? One hundred for a consultation, one hundred for being a bodyguard! Li Bandao is really taking advantage of me!

"Uh... Little Chu, one million a year, for your current student status, isn't that too little?" Uncle Zhao clearly didn't expect such a strong reaction from Chu Nan. He was even more confused about Chu Nan's logic. Treating the old man for three years for just one hundred, and now being a bodyguard for one million, but he still thinks it's too little?

Uncle Zhao had worked for the Li family for many years, and he was used to omitting the "ten thousand" after a few million or tens of millions.

One... million?!

This time, it was Chu Nan's turn to be speechless!

Uncle Zhao's way of speaking was really too concise!

"Or... should I go back and ask the old man again? I think, given your status in the old man's heart, whatever you want, he will give you." Actually, the old man giving Chu Nan one million a year wasn't being stingy.

The current Chu Nan was still a piece of unpolished jade. The old man didn't want Chu Nan to develop a habit of extravagance, so one million was a reasonable price. Besides, the old man no longer considered Chu Nan an outsider. As the future son-in-law of the Li family, would he ever worry about money?

"No need, this... well, for the sake of our relationship with the old man, I'll勉强accept this price!" Chu Nan reluctantly replied.

"Good, that's best. Then I don't have to report to the old man again." Uncle Zhao said, "Little Chu, that's all for now. If you need anything, contact me anytime. You have caller ID, right? I hope you can remember my number."

"Okay."

...

University life, at the beginning, was relatively calm.

But on the first day of school, Chu Nan experienced quite a few things.

Drinking contests, breaking into a room, being looked down upon, and finally, mysteriously getting a job with a million-yuan annual salary...

Very good, very good.

As the sky gradually darkened, Chu Nan went to a restaurant and ate something, then returned to the dormitory. As night deepened, he chatted casually with his dorm mates and quietly fell asleep.

The next day.

Military training...

began.

"Did you all not eat?!! Stand straight!!"

Sand and wind blew, the sun was scorching, and a group of students, all dressed in camouflage uniforms, stood as straight as poles under the instructor's roar. The boys were still okay, but many of the physically weaker girls couldn't take it for long.

Because the first assignment the instructor gave was... to stand still for an hour without moving!
