Chapter 31: It’s Boss Gu.A very good female boss. (Part 1)

Gu Zhaoping was slightly surprised when he saw her take off her clothes and reveal her muscles.

Then, he felt even more satisfied.

The person Coach Gao introduced was indeed impressive.

This woman had always been very low-key.

She never boasted about anything.

After arriving, she simply nodded and followed instructions silently.

That was all.

When asked to demonstrate her abilities, she stepped forward directly and performed without saying an extra word.

Gu Zhaoping appreciated people with strong action capabilities.

The driver’s gaze was completely focused on the woman’s thighs.

Damn!

He had rarely seen a woman with such a massive amount of muscle.

Women naturally have a higher body fat percentage, so building muscles of this size was even more difficult.

But her thighs, which had been hidden under a loose, oversized T-shirt, were now exposed.

The moment he saw the muscle definition, his heart skipped a beat.

A sudden chill ran down his spine, giving him a bad premonition.

However, he considered himself skilled and still did not fully grasp just how bad things were about to get.

The driver focused his attention, slightly more serious now, locking onto the woman’s fists.

She must be a trained fighter.

He had to handle this carefully.

The next moment, he noticed her body moving toward him.

The driver instinctively shifted his stance, dodging her punch to the side.

He avoided it!

Good.

Judging by her build, she wasn’t the agile type.

Her flexibility and reflexes were probably not as good as his.

But her strength might be considerable.

He had to be cautious.

While the driver was silently strategizing, at the exact moment he sidestepped, he suddenly felt another force…

Attacking him from behind!

He froze.

And in that moment of hesitation, he gave his opponent an even greater opening.

“Hiss!!”

Out of nowhere, an enormous force yanked him backward by his shoulder and collar!

His eyes widened.

Before he could even react, he was slammed to the ground with brutal force!

“Shit!”

It all happened in a split second.

He was pinned down, his shoulders locked, completely unable to resist!

Her fist didn’t even touch him.

It just hovered beside his head, stopping just before making contact.

Anyone could see that if this were a real fight, the driver would already be bloodied and battered.

“Thanks for the match.”

Mao Xinci said again.

Between her two statements of “thanks for the match,” less than thirty seconds had passed.

The driver was drenched in cold sweat!

How could this be happening??

He was a city-level martial arts champion!

He had even been part of the city team!

How was this woman able to completely overpower him??

It didn’t make sense!

Lying on the ground with his neck locked in place, the driver dared not move.

His eyes darted around in panic, his body trembling slightly.

Who was this woman?

Could she also be some hidden master of combat sports?

How was she so agile?

She hadn’t even given him half a second to react before seamlessly transitioning from attack to complete restraint.

She left no injuries on him but had him utterly immobilized.

If he were an actual criminal trying to ambush Miss Gu, he would now be completely defenseless!

The driver wanted to struggle, but he quickly realized the sheer strength of her arms.

They were thick, heavy, and filled with power.

Her legs were as swift and solid as an iron dragon.

There was no escape.

He felt as though he was trapped in an inescapable chain lock.

Gu Zhaoping was surprised, but also pleased.

This was someone with an extremely high skill level.

And even now, she had not shown the full extent of her abilities.

“Do you want to continue?”

Mao Xinci asked the driver.

His face turned dark.

He wanted to continue.

But how?

She had him locked so tightly that he couldn’t even move.

What could he do?

Perform a fancy flip like a koi fish?

He could only pale in defeat and squeeze out a few words from his throat:

“N-no, I’m done.”

Only then did Mao Xinci release his arms and stand up.

The driver clutched his collar, finally catching his breath.

Dear god, this woman was terrifying!

She had a kind of concealed lethality, hidden beneath her plain appearance and sturdy build.

An extremely deceptive presence.

Mao Xinci nodded, walked over, and pulled on her T-shirt.

Once she put on the oversized shirt, which had a cartoon character on it, she instantly transformed back into a middle-aged woman with an average build perhaps even slightly chubby.

Gu Zhaoping looked at her and nodded.

“How’s your driving?”

“I can try. Long-distance driving is no problem.”

Indeed, she had a commercial driver’s license.

“Then try it.”

She hadn’t expected just a simple nod from Gu Zhaoping before hearing:

“Alright, follow me.”

The driver’s face changed.

What?

She was already chosen?

He was already dismissed?

He wanted to say something.

But Mao Xinci had already followed Gu Zhaoping into another room.

The driver could only watch, his teeth grinding in frustration.

Once the door closed, Gu Zhaoping sat down and asked:

“Do you have any concerns?”

Her tone was calm, as if she had already predicted the answer.

Mao Xinci froze.

She hadn’t expected this question.

Did she have concerns?

Gu Zhaoping continued calmly:

“Your skills are excellent, and you are steady in character.

If you’ve been in the bodyguard industry for a while, you should be in high demand.

It wouldn’t be so easy for you to have open slots in your schedule.

Coach Gao, who introduced you, applied to be my Jiu-Jitsu instructor because of family troubles.

What about you?”

Gu Zhaoping’s observation skills were sharp.

Mao Xinci’s pupils contracted slightly.

This employer had instantly seen through her situation.

She truly was in trouble, which was why she had applied.

Gu Zhaoping even pointed out something Mao Xinci hadn’t fully considered her skills should have made her highly sought after.

Why had she been out of work for so long?

Was she really in demand?

Hearing this, Mao Xinci suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

She sniffed lightly.

She didn’t want to sound pitiful or talk too much about her personal life.

But she recalled how Coach Gao had described this employer someone very kind, who had bought their training center and driven Tan Li away.

Because of that, Mao Xinci already had a certain level of trust and admiration for Gu Zhaoping.

After a moment of silence, she lowered her eyes and finally said:

“Boss, my daughter is in her last year of high school.

And I have a younger daughter.

She’s only one year old, so I might…”

Gu Zhaoping nodded and asked:

“Where does she go to school?

Would you consider transferring her to Hai City?”

Mao Xinci’s face froze in shock.

She didn’t react immediately.

What does it mean to transfer to Haishi?

In the next moment, she suddenly understood.

Her face showed shock, her pupils trembled, and she looked at Gu Zhaoping in disbelief.

The educational resources in Haishi are among the best in the country, far beyond what her current third-tier city can offer.

She had always known that her daughter’s school environment was not good.

But in their town, it was already the best education available.

A few years ago, her daughter was admitted to a better high school in the provincial capital.

But she didn’t go because she would have had to stay in a dormitory.

And given their family’s situation, it was impossible for someone to pick her up frequently.

Going home once on weekends would be exhausting.

So, if she attended that school, she would probably have to live there permanently and might not return home even once a semester.

In the end, her daughter gave up and chose a local school.

This matter had always been a regret in Mao Xinci’s heart.

She wanted to provide her daughter with better education, but reality did not allow it.

At that time, she was pregnant and had much less energy to care for her daughter.

Mao Xinci had always regretted it.

But this was something that could no longer be changed.

Seeing the good relationship between her older and younger daughters, watching her eldest daughter obediently feeding the younger one, her heart ached.

“Boss, you…”

“I’m planning to hire you, so I’ll solve your problem too.

Just explain it to me clearly.”

Gu Zhaoping was very used to handling such small matters effortlessly.

But hiring a reliable and suitable bodyguard was a worthwhile deal.

Mao Xinci, however, never expected to be hired so quickly!

Gu Zhaoping made decisions quickly.

As long as someone met her standards, she would not put up unnecessary obstacles.

Interactions between people also depend on feelings.

She found the chemistry between her and Mao Xinci acceptable, so she was willing to give it a try.

A moment later, Mao Xinci’s eyes turned red and moist.

“Thank you for your kindness, boss.

But she’s in her senior year now.

I’m worried that transferring suddenly will be hard for her to adapt to…”

Gu Zhaoping pondered for a moment and then said, “I think you shouldn’t underestimate a girl’s ability to adapt.

If she were moving downward, the environment might create psychological problems.

But if she’s moving upward, the opportunities and perspectives she gains will far outweigh any pressure she may face.”

She asked calmly, “Do you think your daughter is an ambitious person?”

Mao Xinci was stunned.

She thought of her daughter’s thin face and the eyes hidden under her bangs sometimes lowered and reserved, sometimes filled with what seemed like resentment.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly recalled the egg that had fallen to the ground.

She lifted her head abruptly and said firmly, “Thank you, boss.

I can start work anytime.

I can follow you 24 hours a day with one day off per month.”

With one day off, she could visit her daughter.

“I’ll go back to tell my daughter, pack up, and bring her here.”

Mao Xinci pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before suddenly saying in a rushed voice, “Boss, thank you for recognizing me.”

Gu Zhaoping showed no emotion.

She simply flipped through a contract on the table, skimmed a few pages, and handed it over after confirming everything was correct.

“It’s not that I’m recognizing you.

You earned the right for me to help you.”

Mao Xinci was stunned as she received the contract.

The terms were written clearly and concisely.

Responsibilities, obligations, and salary were explicitly stated.

The initial monthly salary was 30k, increasing annually with experience.

There were task bonuses and year-end bonuses, with additional subsidies for travel.

Calculating everything, her first-year post-tax income exceeded 400k.

Mao Xinci was momentarily dazed.
