244: Chapter 241 makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

"Before we arrived, how often did you go on this kind of security mission?"

Following him into the washroom, Li Changsheng turned on the shower to rinse the sweat off his body and asked.

"Why ask that? It depends. I've only been working here for about a month, and I think I only went on three field missions last month.

It's actually not dangerous at all. I just follow that foreign boss to meet some people. It's basically just networking for high-society types, and I just tag along to eat and drink.

Besides, you know my English isn't that great; I can barely communicate. Sometimes I don't even understand what they're saying, and I can't be bothered to ask. As long as there's money to be made, I can train in martial arts, and I can eat good food, I'm perfectly happy."

Zhang Zhao said with a laugh while scrubbing himself.

He was quite laid-back, the type with a thick skin, and his English was indeed not great. However, whether it was because he'd stayed here for a while or had studied a bit before coming abroad, he had no trouble with simple daily communication.

But when it came to local slang or complex vocabulary, he was completely in the dark.

Li Changsheng felt that this guy poured all his shrewdness into martial arts, or perhaps he was the type who played the fool to hide his wisdom.

He appeared carefree on the surface, but in reality, he had ten thousand schemes in his mind, though he usually couldn't be bothered to care.

"So, is this also a routine field mission? But why does it require so many people? And doesn't Kenneth seem even less professional than us?"

Li Changsheng said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Zhang Zhao shrugged, "It's the boss's decision; we can't control that. Sigh, this boss is pretty strange too. If he wanted security, he should've just hired those professional retired soldiers. What era is this?

Although I don't want to admit it, if I Face firearms, I'll definitely be the first to run!"

Hearing this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but stifle a laugh, thinking to himself, 'You really are a coward.'

Truth be told, while Zhang Zhao's martial arts were at the Dark Energy level, due to his build and the fact that his skills were all in his hands, agility really wasn't his strong suit.

If he encountered firearms, he likely wouldn't be much better than an ordinary person, unless it was within five steps.

"Sigh, but you said it was different, and it is a bit different."

Just then, Zhang Zhao seemed to recall something and said, "Before you guys came, I could often go out to find some services, but after you arrived, we aren't allowed to go out anymore.

Do you think it's because the boss has been targeted by someone recently? I always feel like the club's security has been much tighter these past few days."

Zhang Zhao's observation was quite sharp. Although there were many club staff and coaches, and they often used the internal training room on the third floor.

But this group of people had one thing in common: they always carried pistols with them and would observe Li Changsheng and the others from time to time.

Regarding this, Li Changsheng had seen it long ago; the way they acted, it was as if they were afraid they would run away.

No! They were especially afraid that he would run away.

Almost at any time, Li Changsheng could feel no less than three pairs of eyes watching him.

Even here, Li Changsheng estimated there were micro-cameras.

After washing up, drying off, and putting on a set of clean undergarments prepared here, several employees walked in and handed them several suits and sunglasses.

Hmm... Li Changsheng could actually understand why bodyguards all had this standard attire; the suit was so the boss wouldn't lose Face.

And the sunglasses were so dangerous elements couldn't tell where your gaze was focused.

This was like an elementary school exam; if an examiner sat there wearing sunglasses, the cheating rate would drop significantly because the students wouldn't know where their gaze was focused at all.

The clothes were custom-made, and Li Changsheng found the Body Integration was perfect; they were much more exquisite than the set Zhang Zijing had bought for him before.

"These are good things. Newcomers are issued three sets. It's said that the boss specifically invited a tailor from Huntsman in New York, and bespoke suits from there are 20% more expensive than those in London.

It's said the three sets cost about eight thousand to ten thousand US dollars. Anyway, they are much more expensive than what you'd buy at a suit shop outside, so it counts as a small perk here."

Zhang Zhao had an expression that said 'you've hit the jackpot.' His clothes were taken from his own closet, and it was clear they had also been custom-made by someone the boss had hired.

Li Changsheng nodded. It felt very comfortable to the touch, and it must have been Advanced fabric.

However, he didn't have much of a feeling for money anymore. To him, once assets reached the ten-million level, they were really just a string of numbers.

But looking at the somewhat excited expressions of Kanai Shuichi and Kenneth, Li Changsheng suspected that this group of people wasn't on the same salary level as him, and he estimated that Zhang Zhao's salary also differed from his own.

"Brother Zhang, how much is your salary working here?" Li Changsheng glanced at the employees who had retreated into the distance and asked in a low voice.

"Ten thousand US dollars a month, envious, right!"

Zhang Zhao said excitedly, "Brother Li, don't be envious. You just arrived, so your salary definitely isn't high, but your skills are better than mine, so I estimate that before long, you'll be the same as me.

Sigh, I have to say, what some people back home say is still right: as long as you have skills, you can pick up money. This ten thousand dollars a month is over sixty thousand RMB. I can go back in a year to buy a house and get a wife. If I work for a few years, I can change wives every year."

Li Changsheng could tell that Zhang Zhao was truly happy from the bottom of his heart; the way he looked, he was eager to give his all to serve Durant.

"Look at these three pairs of leather shoes; one pair alone is thirty thousand US dollars!"

Zhang Zhao said this while showing off his own pair of shiny leather shoes, which had a perfect Body Integration, and were clearly also custom-made.

To this, Li Changsheng just nodded indifferently.

The group got dressed, but strangely, they didn't issue any firearms to Li Changsheng and the others at all.

Being a bodyguard for a rich person in the United States without a gun? Seriously?

"This time, the boss is just attending a private gathering, which is relatively safe. Moreover, you haven't started receiving formal firearms training yet. The purpose of this operation is to let everyone understand this job."

Anya's explanation was perfect, but it was full of flaws everywhere.

But the effect was good, wasn't it? After all, with such high pay, even if someone said the Earth was flat, they'd probably believe it.

Sitting in the car, Li Changsheng was even more certain of the purpose of this trip.

"Ms. Anya, shouldn't I be sitting in that car with them?"

Li Changsheng pointed at the cars in front and behind. There were three cars in total for this trip. The front one carried some armed retired soldier coaches from the club.

The middle one, a stretch limousine, contained Durant, Anya, Li Changsheng, and two armed bodyguards, while the one behind carried Zhang Zhao, Kanai Shuichi, and Kenneth.

This arrangement was a standard template for a rich person traveling low-key, but the personnel configuration inside was full of irrationalities.

Logically speaking, a newcomer like Li Changsheng should be sitting in the back; this spot should belong to Zhang Zhao, who had experience once, and definitely not Li Changsheng.

Yet, things were just that irrational.

"Mr. Li, it's like this: you are more outstanding, aren't you?" This was Durant's response; he was sitting in the boss's chair at the very back.

Regarding this response, Li Changsheng was noncommittal, just looking at everyone's seating arrangement and lost in thought.

Inside this stretch limo, he was sitting in the middle row, with one armed bodyguard on his left and right sides, and Anya and Durant were in the last row.

As for the middle, there was also a partition separating Li Changsheng and the others.

It's quite reasonable for a top-tier luxury car to have this configuration, isn't it?

Glancing again, the two people beside him seemed to be watching him out of the corner of their eyes at all times. Li Changsheng didn't say much, but his gaze was constantly scanning the streets flying past outside.
