It turns out they were punished for doing something wrong. They had thought they were chosen by those above and would receive special treatment.
"Let's go, let's go, there's nothing else to see!"
One captain said to the leader of another team, and then they each returned to their own teams.
After the two left, Zhao Yu disbanded the group and then quickly rushed outside.
"Is everything handled?"
Uncle Lian held a folder in his hand, which clearly displayed Jian You's information. Upon hearing Zhao Yu's reply, he quickly signed his name at the bottom and put it in his briefcase.
However, this document was unusually monotonous, with too little description. Normally, he would not allow such a person to exist, but she was Elder Jian's person, so he could turn a blind eye.
He returned to the group the next day. Everyone had already finished work and gone to dinner. Uncle Lian entered the office, and Normanis was still there.
"Sir, it's fine."
Normanis finally looked up. When Uncle Lian said it was fine, it meant there were no problems. He hadn't expected a woman to be so capable. There weren't many people whom Uncle Lian would affirm.
"Where is she?"
His sharp eyes scanned the room. No one was there except Uncle Lian. Hadn't she been brought back?
"Uh... her appearance wasn't very presentable, so I had someone tidy her up."
As soon as he spoke, he saw his sir frown. Jian You's appearance was truly unbearable. Otherwise, he would have brought her to his sir.
"When did you start caring about such things?"
Knowing that he was waiting, why would she do these superficial things? What hadn't he seen?
However, when he saw Jian You, it was difficult to describe, and there was even an emotion that he couldn't quite articulate.
"Jian You?"
Normanis's deep pupils stared at the woman opposite him. If it weren't for her clothes and her build, he wouldn't have recognized her as a woman.
She was petite and slender, appearing agile, but the injuries all over her body...
"Where did you get the injuries on your body?"
Normanis asked again when he saw her remain silent.
This time, Uncle Lian answered, "Sir, she competed with someone. These are the results of her victories. She is currently the captain of the thirty-sixth consecutive win."
She had been promoted so quickly? She could be cultivated.
However...
"Uncle Lian, go to my place and get my healing medicine."
Uncle Lian looked up in astonishment. His sir's medicines were the most expensive, and some were even priceless. Just the medicine for bruises and sprains would be enough for Jian You to live frugally for a lifetime.
Now his sir actually wanted to give it to her, and his sir didn't seem to care about this woman a little?
His sir, apart from his wife, had never cared much about anyone. Now...
"Yes, sir."
This was not something he could manage. His sir did everything with his own intentions. If he wanted to win Jian You's heart, it wouldn't be wrong.
If Jian You could not be used by them, then she could only be destroyed!
Her reaction during the competition might not have been noticed by others, but he had keenly detected the difference.
The last move was not something that a severely injured person could do. Even though the railing wasn't very high, it wasn't easy to flip over it. If Jian You had no strength, it would be even more impossible.
If she was hiding her true strength, then this Jian You was too formidable, and they didn't know how much she was hiding.
As long as she didn't harm his sir and madam, everything would be fine. If she had other intentions, then even if she was Elder Jian's person, they would not be polite in the slightest!
After Uncle Lian left, Normanis looked at Jian You. After just this brief encounter, he had a general understanding of her personality, so he didn't say anything else, getting straight to the point.
"I hope you can protect my wife. Of course, with your talent, you need to train every day. We happen to have a training room at our residence. After your daily tasks are completed, you will accompany my wife at all times. Can you do it?"
Jian You still nodded with a cold expression. This was not a problem. At most, it was just a change of location. The salary was the same, and since she had been promoted, she would have more money. She would give it to the old man then; he was too poor!
Just as she thought this, she heard the person opposite her suddenly say, "I will pay you triple salary, as long as you can protect my wife well!"
With triple the salary, Jian You naturally wouldn't refuse. This was much better than she had imagined.
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
Normanis was very curious about how she could be so calm and composed, more steady than someone his age. Perhaps she could be entrusted with important tasks...
"No!"
Jian You replied coldly with two words and fell silent again.
It wasn't until Uncle Lian entered that the stiff atmosphere in the room was broken.
"This is a special ointment designed for this condition. Apply it morning and evening when you go back, and you'll be fine in less than three days."
Jian You glanced at the medicine in Uncle Lian's hand and took it. Even if she didn't need it, she still accepted it. If the wound healed too quickly, it might arouse suspicion from others.
Seeing that Jian You had accepted the medicine, Normanis was relieved. He turned back to his work.
"Uncle Lian, take her to meet my wife."
Uncle Lian understood very well that his sir had completely entrusted Jian You to them, otherwise, he wouldn't have let her serve his wife so quickly.
When did his sir start trusting someone this much, especially someone he had only met once? It seemed this Jian You was not simple. He needed to keep a close eye on her!
...
Looking at the magnificent palace in front of her, Jian You's eyes showed no emotion. She followed Uncle Lian step by step around the lawn and walked inside.
However, this place was indeed quite large. They turned left and right but still hadn't arrived. The flowers on the corridors were quite beautiful.
"Ah!"
Jian You saw the woman who had fallen on the ground grinning in pain. She had only glanced around and didn't notice someone coming around the corner.
"Sorry."
Even when apologizing, Jian You's face was stiff, like a poker face.
"Miss, are you alright?!"
Before the woman on the ground could speak, Uncle Lian lovingly pulled her up and kept looking her over.
The woman gave a couple of awkward laughs, waved her hand casually, and then looked at the woman opposite her. Her eyes widened immediately. "Sister, what happened to you? Who hit you?!"
"It's nothing."
Uncle Lian didn't expect the little girl Jian You to say much, so he explained from the side, "Miss, it's fine. She just had some sparring and got bumped a few times."
The woman rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips indignantly, and said, "How can you spar like that? That's clearly malicious assault! Sister, tell me who it was, and I'll go teach them a lesson for you!"
"Norman Ziyue! Who are you going to fight with?!"
