Chapter 0007: Lin Yi's Approach [Dear readers, please give some recommendations and add to your favorites. Old Fish thanks you all again!]

"Miss, Mr. Chu said that Mr. Lin Yi is a versatile talent, both scholarly and martial. This mere shield is naturally no problem for him..." Uncle Fu hurriedly explained.

To prevent Chu Mengyao from worrying, some things Chu Pengzhan did not tell her and instructed Uncle Fu not to tell her either. On the surface, inviting Lin Yi was to take care of Chu Mengyao's studies and life, but in reality, it had a deeper meaning, involving an agreement among the older generation of the family...

However, it was obvious that if a study companion suddenly appeared, Chu Mengyao would definitely not agree. But coincidentally, Chu Mengyao was exhausted from dealing with her admirers, so she approached Chu Pengzhan, asking him to hire a shield to help her fend off these pests. Thus, Chu Pengzhan, through a mix of deception and persuasion, recommended Lin Yi as the shield to Chu Mengyao.

But... Uncle Fu was a bit regretful for not taking Lin Yi to a clothing store to dress him up properly. From the photos Uncle Fu had seen, Lin Yi looked quite spirited, but his current appearance was a bit peculiar and did not fit the environment...

"Him?" Chu Mengyao couldn't see anything special about the man in front of her. Was he just a migrant worker her father randomly picked up from a labor market?

The girl beside Chu Mengyao couldn't help but giggle, as Lin Yi's appearance didn't seem to fit the role of a shield for Chu Mengyao at all.

"Xiao Shu, what are you laughing at?" Chu Mengyao was already furious at her father's敷衍 (perfunctory attitude), and seeing her best friend laughing made her even angrier. She glared at her fiercely.

Chen Yushu, scolded by Chu Mengyao, stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth, but her eyes remained curiously fixed on Lin Yi.

"Uncle Fu, tell him to get out of the car. I want to replace him." Chu Mengyao frowned, unwilling to argue further on this issue.

"Miss, Mr. Chu said that Mr. Lin Yi will definitely be competent, and the contract has already been signed..." Uncle Fu's implication was clear: even if you disagree, there's nothing you can do. Mr. Chu has already made the decision, and it can't be changed.

"Ah?" Chu Mengyao's beautiful big eyes blinked, almost on the verge of tears. She couldn't understand what her father was thinking. It would have been better not to find a shield at all. If this person stayed by her side, wouldn't it just be a laughingstock?

Originally, if the shield looked good, Chu Mengyao would have claimed him as her boyfriend to drive away the pests. But now, it was clearly impossible.

Even if she said this bumpkin was her boyfriend, who would believe her? Zhong Pinliang would probably laugh his head off.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yi felt a headache! A shield? Is this girl really looking for a partner? No wonder Chu Pengzhan spoke so strangely to him earlier. Could he really be recruiting a son-in-law?

"Alright, that guy was harassing me just now. Help me deal with him. If you handle it well, you pass the test." Chu Mengyao's eyes darted around, and a plan formed in her mind. If he couldn't handle it, she could use his incompetence as a reason to have her father fire him.

"Him?" Lin Yi nodded, got out of the car, and quickly walked towards Zhong Pinliang.

"Chu Mengyao always rejects me whenever I ask her out. If it were any other woman, they would have thrown themselves into my arms long ago!" Zhong Pinliang complained to his lackeys.

"Master Zhong, but Chu Mengyao isn't just any woman. She's the daughter of Pengzhan Group. It's normal for it to be difficult!" one of his lackeys, Gao Xiaofu, said.

"I know, do I need you to tell me that?" Zhong Pinliang waved his hand and said, "So, I need to be persistent..." Before he could finish, he saw a young man in a slightly yellowed white tank top and earthy yellow pants rapidly approaching. He was stunned.

Lin Yi quickly walked up to Zhong Pinliang, said nothing, and kicked him in the buttocks, sending Zhong Pinliang sprawling on the ground. Then Lin Yi turned around and walked back to the car without looking back.

Zhong Pinliang was about to give a long speech on his pursuit of Chu Mengyao, but as he was speaking, he felt a sudden kick to his buttocks and fell to the ground.

"Who? Do you want to die? How dare you kick me?" Zhong Pinliang struggled to get up, covered in dirt, and shouted.

"It was that migrant worker..." Gao Xiaofu quickly said.

"What are you standing there for? Chase him!" Zhong Pinliang shouted angrily, "Catch him and beat him up!"

"Master Zhong, he's gone..." The lackeys had been focused on whether Zhong Pinliang was hurt, and in the blink of an eye, the migrant worker had disappeared.

"Damn!" Zhong Pinliang cursed, "I'll remember what he looks like. Tomorrow, I'll print posters and have people look for him at all the construction sites. A migrant worker dares to kick me? I'll make it impossible for him to stay in Songshan City! Just wait and see!"

"Rao Rao, I didn't expect Lin Yi to be so tough, even kicking Zhong Pinliang?" In the car, Chen Yushu widened her eyes, amazed at what had just happened.

"I think he's crazy!" Chu Mengyao hadn't expected Lin Yi to do that, but it was quite creative. However, she had already decided not to use him, and no matter what he did, she would consider him unqualified.

"Rao Rao, why don't you keep him?" Chen Yushu suggested.

"Xiao Shu, who are you siding with?" Chu Mengyao glared at her, puzzled, "Are you in heat and fancy this migrant worker?"

"Ugh!" Chen Yushu shook her head, "Rao Rao, you're the one who fancies him!"

"If you don't fancy him, why do you want to keep him? To embarrass me?" Chu Mengyao was confused.

"No, think about it. Zhong Pinliang is the king of our school, and no one dares to provoke him. It's rare to find someone who isn't afraid of him. This will be fun!" Chen Yushu said slyly, "If they fight, Zhong Pinliang won't have time to bother you anymore."

"Fight? Do you think Zhong Pinliang is that easy to provoke?" Chu Mengyao pointed out the real issue, "A mere migrant worker? Zhong Pinliang would beat him to death."

"Rao Rao, how can you be so stupid? Even dogs have their masters, right? With you backing him, what's there to fear from Zhong Pinliang?" Chen Yushu sneered, "Besides, there's me too, right?"
