(Last month was too intense, my schedule messed up, and a friend said if this continues, today's income will become medical expenses two years later. Someone versed in Chinese medicine said it could lead to liver and kidney failure. Therefore, Old Lai decided to adjust his schedule. The update times these days might be a bit chaotic, but will definitely keep everyone informed. As for updates, like last month, let's first guarantee 200,000 words, which is reasonably doable, that is, two chapters a day. However, since Old Lai still owes 21 updates, it'll be over 260,000, so it'll roughly require three updates a day to complete. As for whether there's any energy left for extra updates, we have to wait until everything's cleared first. Hope everyone understands.)

In a new environment, Li Yan instinctively quickly observes the surrounding situation. Thus, not only did he notice the woman who opened the door taking a few extra glances at him, but after entering, he quickly sized up everyone inside.

Seeing three somewhat familiar people, Li Yan was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that the two Beihai Country girls he met yesterday at "Jie Rui" were actually important clients to be met on this trip! At the same time, he also realized that the woman was not paying attention because he was the only man, but perhaps because she had seen him at their company yesterday. At that time, his attention was on Kawada and Li Jie, and he naturally didn't pay much attention to the already defeated female bodyguard.

Besides the Beihai Country girl Matsushima Kui who spoke lukewarm Yun language, and Shinohara Mirai who only smiled without speaking, there was also the middle-aged woman translator Jiang Yingqi. Their original bodyguard Kawada was no longer there, only the two female bodyguards arranged by Li Jie last night. Seeing Zhang Yurong's group, they were initially welcoming. But as they got closer, they recognized Li Yan from yesterday.

"Miss Shinohara, Miss Matsushima, it's very nice to meet you. I'm Zhang Yurong from Paradise Group, and this is my assistant…" Zhang Yurong maintained her usual demeanor, but as she introduced herself and her team, she left them all surprised.

"I didn't expect Miss Zhang to speak Beihai language, and so well!" Shinohara Mirai exclaimed in surprise. Yesterday at Jie Rui, it was mostly her assistant Matsushima Kui who spoke Yun language, she didn't speak at all, indeed her Yun language proficiency was relatively low.

The woman translator Jiang Yingqi was somewhat frustrated. When Matsushima Kui was introduced, she wasn't mentioned, and since Matsushima Kui's Yun language could basically communicate, now that Zhang Yurong spoke fluent Beihai language, her role as a translator naturally became unnecessary.

As for Zhang Yurong's Beihai language proficiency, those familiar with her like Ke Yunyun were naturally not surprised, and Wen Qianyi, who admired Zhang Yurong quite a bit, seemed to know a bit too. Li Yan already knew Zhang Yurong was proficient in international languages besides Mandarin, able to converse in Beihai language, and understand daily Liguo and Si Country languages, but this was the first time he heard her speak Beihai language.

After being invited to sit, Shinohara Mirai and Zhang Yurong continued to converse in Beihai language, while others sat listening. Matsushima Kui, who claimed to be Shinohara Mirai's assistant, was not as serious as Ke Yunyun and seemed not to care much about their conversation content, but occasionally glanced towards Li Yan.

Just now, Zhang Yurong's introduction let them know Li Yan's name and that he indeed wasn't from the bodyguard company yesterday. They were just regretful for not being able to hire Li Yan as a bodyguard yesterday, so they didn't expect to meet again so soon.

Shinohara Mirai didn't have much reaction, but Matsushima Kui's gaze was noticeable to everyone, making Li Yan a bit embarrassed, though he wanted to say there's really nothing with them, he just had no chance to explain.

Wen Qianyi, sitting beside him, found an opportunity to whisper in a voice only they could hear: "Not bad, quite charming. Even the Beihai Country girls were won over by you... when will you break out of East Continent and go global?"

Li Yan was speechless, he didn't have Wen Qianyi's good vocal control, so if he wasn't careful, everyone would hear it, so he didn't respond to her.

...

Zhang Yurong already mentioned last night that today's important guests wouldn't be discussing any substantive cooperation projects, just a visit to a partner. Since they were overseas clients, it was understandable.

Without the pressure of specific projects, and since everyone was young and all girls, with Zhang Yurong also speaking Beihai language, everything made Shinohara Mirai feel very satisfied. Although Zhang Yurong's demeanor was somewhat cold, it was still a pleasant conversation.

After some casual chatting, Zhang Yurong began to introduce Wen Qianyi and Li Yan to Shinohara Mirai, saying: "Miss Shinohara, Miss Wen and Mr. Li are outstanding members of our company. If there's anything needed during your trip to Yun Country, feel free to contact them at any time." Saying this, Ke Yunyun handed over Wen Qianyi's and Li Yan's prepared business cards.

Shinohara Mirai glanced at Wen Qianyi and Li Yan, naturally expecting everyone to be proficient in Beihai language like Zhang Yurong was unrealistic, but she didn't care as she didn't have specific work objectives.

Seeing Matsushima Kui giving her significant looks, if Zhang Yurong couldn't understand Beihai language, she might have said it out loud. Helplessly, Shinohara Mirai had to say: "Miss Zhang, we're not here for work, your visit already shows you value us. We certainly don't want to disturb your work. I think Miss Wen… must also be an elite of your company. How about... just letting Mr. Li... be our guide for a few days?"

Zhang Yurong secretly smiled bitterly, this husband of hers couldn't even pretend, even the Beihai Country Crown Princess who knew nothing could spot he's not an important elite.

Seeing Shinohara Mirai speak up, Matsushima Kui quickly echoed: "Miss Zhang, we feel an instant connection with you, becoming friends would be great. But as the president of Paradise Group, you of course don't have time to accompany us. And Mr. Li... in fact, we've met him, he should have more time, hope you can help make him our personal tour guide!"

Matsushima Kui's look at Li Yan, how could Yurong not have noticed? Seeing her mention it like this, she couldn't help but doubt in her heart, could it be that Matsushima Kui has feelings for Li Yan? Is Shinohara Mirai just helping her?

But she immediately chuckled secretly, it seems she's been paying too much attention to this guy recently, putting him on too high a pedestal. How could he possibly be the kind of guy a girl would chase from Beihai Country to Yun Country for? It seems they're not familiar with each other; perhaps they don't even know Li Yan's name and have merely met in places like bars!

Although Matsushima Kui's words 'personal tour guide' made Yurong hesitate a bit, on second thought, this was also an opportunity. Shinohara Mirai was not primarily here for work, but she is the daughter of the chairman of Shinohara Corporation, an important client of Paradise Group in Beihai Country. This identity alone is worth building a rapport with, and even though she doesn't understand business or work, emotional investment would be more effective. This is why Yurong personally came to meet them today.

With this reason, the original purpose assigned to Wen Qianyi was mainly to have her lead Li Yan in learning. Now that they have specifically chosen Li Yan, let's have him give it a try!

Although assigning her husband to be a tour guide for a girl from Beihai Country felt a bit uncomfortable for Yurong, she thought that Li Yan is her husband, not someone she could keep tied to her side as a boy-toy. Besides, if he isn't allowed to get some experience, he might just remain idle.

Seeing the two of them looking towards her when they spoke, even Matsushima Kaede interjected in Beihai language. Even if one can't understand Beihai language, one could guess it has something to do with Li Yan. Of course, Li Yan himself understood that Shinohara Mirai was taking the chance to ask Yurong for him. He just didn't know if this good wife would 'sell' him off.

Seeing Li Yan looking over eagerly, Yurong was both amused and annoyed. This guy! Clearly, it was he who flirted with them, making them remember him, and now he's putting on an innocent act? Having him accompany two beauties isn't a bad deal for him, is it?

Looking at the slightly stiff translator, Jiang Yingqi, she was confident that Li Yan wouldn't have the chance to cheat. So, she nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll give Li Yan a special dispensation to take vacation for the next few days to be Miss Shinohara's guide."

"Thank you very much, Miss Zhang."

Seeing Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui getting excited and bowing slightly in thanks to Yurong, both Wen Qianyi and Li Yan understood the result. They exchanged a look, full of complex emotions.

Yurong's time was tight, and her arrival already showed her intentions for an emotional connection without a specific project. Furthermore, with the assignment of an exclusive liaison, Li Yan, she didn't want to waste more time there. After a brief chat, she proposed to leave, saying formally, "Miss Shinohara and Miss Matsushima, you've come as guests from afar unfamiliar with Yun Country. Therefore, the company has specially decided to temporarily assign our colleague from the business department, Li Yan, to be Miss Shinohara's guide. Li Yan, do you have any issues with that?"

"Well... I personally will comply with the arrangement; it's just that I don't know what a guide is supposed to do," Li Yan said helplessly.

"Just follow the guests' requirements," Yurong said, getting up to leave, indicating that Li Yan will take over as the guide from now on.

After leaving the guest room, Yurong had Ke Yunyun and Wen Qianyi, who was originally supposed to play a major role but now been relegated to a substitute without the opportunity to shine, head to the elevator first. She wanted to give Li Yan a few final words alone. The bodyguard inside wisely closed the door, allowing them to have a word at the door.

"Remember, this is work; distinguish responsibilities and boundaries, don't argue or quarrel with the client, and more importantly, do not cross certain boundaries with disputes!" Yurong warned him in a low voice.

Li Yan could read her subtext—don't let lust lead to messing around with relationships!

He mournfully said in a low voice, "Director Zhang, my wife, without profit or benefit, and for the sake of just a common relationship, sells her husband. Shouldn't I be heartbroken over this?"

Yurong knew full well he wasn't truly heartbroken, but still felt a bit guilty, so she could only say, "Make good use of this opportunity; it's an exercise for you!"

"Escort them for meals, drinks, and entertainment, sure, that's a kind of exercise I excel at!"

"..."

Worried Li Yan might slip away again, Matsushima Kui and Shinohara Mirai soon opened the door. Seeing this, Yurong could only say, "Remember the instructions," and after greeting them, she left.
