Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 95. Being a Substitute? The Hurts-Body-and-Soul Kind (4)



For reasons unknown, perhaps out of curiosity about Shen Wan’s inexplicable strength, Dong Zheng frequently visited Shen Wan’s company. Each time she came stealthily, allowing the assistant girl to lead her to the basement training area.

In the training area, Shen Wan sat on a rocking chair to the side, clutching a bottle of cola and munching on fried chicken legs. Meanwhile, the bodyguard trainees were drenched in sweat as they trained. When thirsty, they drank energy drinks from water dispensers; when hungry, they ate the energy-replenishing food Shen Wan had specially prepared for them. It wasn’t particularly tasty, but it wasn’t bad either. However, it certainly couldn’t compare to the fried chicken legs.

“Keep training! You’re here to work. If you don’t train well, how will you protect your clients’ safety in the future? Fried chicken legs and cola – when you’ve earned big money and retired, you can have as much as you want. Right now, these things aren’t good for your training.”

After saying this, Shen Wan took another bite of her chicken leg, chewed slowly, swallowed, and then washed it down with a sip of cola.

Dong Zheng felt somewhat sympathetic towards the bodyguards. They trained hard, only able to eat energy-replenishing food, while their boss was so cruel as to sit nearby watching them train, not just watching but munching on fried chicken legs.

Dong Zheng sat down beside Shen Wan and couldn’t help saying, “Don’t you think this is torturing them?”

“I’m testing their willpower,” Shen Wan said very seriously, waving the chicken leg in her hand. Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. “If they can focus on training despite such tempting food, think about it – who can afford private bodyguards if not big bosses? How many temptations surround them? If they can’t resist the temptation of fried chicken legs and cola, how will they handle the temptations around big bosses in the future?”

This reasoning seemed to make some sense. The bodyguards, who had been feeling bitter, automatically blocked out the aroma of the fried chicken legs. Their little boss was right – what were these small temptations? Through their various practical experiences in VR, they had indeed gone through all sorts of tests. If they let a little food distract them from their training, they truly wouldn’t deserve such high salaries.

Thus, Dong Zheng found that Shen Wan’s somewhat crooked speech actually made these people train even harder.

Meanwhile, Shen Wan, sitting beside her, continued to devour one fried chicken leg after another and drink bottle after bottle of cola without stopping. She had offered some to Dong Zheng, but Dong Zheng wouldn’t carelessly eat such high-energy food. She glanced at Shen Wan’s stick-thin figure, wondering if she would balloon into a ball in a few months.

“Really don’t want one? They’re delicious, crispy on the outside and tender inside,” Shen Wan waved a chicken leg in front of Dong Zheng’s eyes, describing its taste.

Dong Zheng certainly knew how tasty fried chicken legs were. After all, everyone goes through that phase. Back in school, she too loved eating such things. At that age, running and jumping around all day, with high activity levels and being in her teens, it wasn’t so easy to gain weight. Although she wasn’t old now and was quite young, her metabolism and activity levels certainly couldn’t compare to before. Eating one fried chicken leg and drinking some cola would mean spending two hours in the gym. She wasn’t someone who indulged in gustatory pleasures, so she decided to pass, even though it smelled wonderful.

“Alright, then you can watch me eat,” Shen Wan didn’t press further when Dong Zheng declined.

Dong Zheng: “……”

188: He suspected his host wanted to be a single dog.

Dong Zheng wasn’t tempted. She observed the bodyguards’ training while occasionally glancing at Shen Wan’s happy face as she ate non-stop. As for why Shen Wan liked these high-calorie foods so much, she privately thought it was because Shen Wan had grown up in that unfavorable family environment. The Shen family wasn’t just favoring boys over girls; they didn’t even treat Shen Wan as a human. According to her investigations, this girl had never had a good day since childhood.

Being able to attend school until high school graduation was only because she could handle all household chores while taking care of her brother Shen Bo, who was only two years younger but already a head taller than her.

When Shen Bo entered junior high, the Shen couple entrusted their precious son to her care. At that time, Shen Wan was in her final year of junior high, with tight coursework, yet had to look after the man-child Shen Bo. Shen Bo would text her to take his dirty clothes and shoes to wash.

If not for Shen Bo needing her care, Dong Zheng suspected the Shen couple might have made her drop out of school midway. As for college, that was a pipe dream. Shen Wan’s grades were quite good, but fearing she might really get into university and become uncontrollable, the couple actually made her miss an exam on the day of the college entrance exams. Missing one subject made it difficult to score high enough for university.

Right after graduation, they were eager to sell Shen Wan for a good price. That’s when they encountered her nasty nephew, who brought her back, leading to all those events. She had thought that someone from Shen Wan’s background would fall head over heels for her nasty nephew due to that bit of kindness and warmth, but now everything was different from what she had imagined.

She thought Shen Wan would be devastated, but instead, she was like an indestructible cockroach. Although her methods of training these bodyguards involved a lot of twisted logic, they were quite practical and seemed to work well, which truly surprised her.

What surprised her most was Shen Wan’s hidden superhuman strength.

With such strength, she believed that if Shen Wan were a bit smarter, she wouldn’t suffer much disadvantage. She just couldn’t understand why she had been bullied so badly before. Every family has its own difficulties; she couldn’t really comment on it. Now that Shen Wan had opened a bodyguard company, Dong Zheng had gone from initial disapproval to having some expectations, hoping she could achieve something.

“Miss Dong, didn’t you say Li Zhan would need bodyguards soon? Have you recommended my company’s private bodyguard service to him?”

Seeing that training was coming to an end and there was still no movement from Li Zhan’s side, Shen Wan took the initiative to ask. Miss Dong was her future wife, so Miss Dong’s nephew was also her nephew. That nephew had many troubles coming up; it would be better to hire a couple of bodyguards.

Dong Zheng had just snapped out of watching the bodyguards breaking chopsticks. She couldn’t help but glance at the chopsticks scattered on the ground, broken in half. Perhaps Shen Wan’s previous demonstration had left a deep impression on these bodyguards; now they tested their strength by breaking chopsticks. Their strength competitions involved seeing who could break more chopsticks.

Recalling Shen Wan’s question, she said, “I think these bodyguards of yours are quite good.”

It wasn’t because of the chopstick breaking, but because of their practical exercises in this huge training area. Although she had seen and hired many high-level bodyguards before, the professionalism she had observed in their training over this period was truly eye-opening.

Sometimes Shen Wan would invite her to play the role of a boss, protected by one or two bodyguards. The rest would use common attack scenarios to assault her, and the two bodyguards would react very professionally, quickly taking her to a safe place, never allowing anyone to get close.

The bodyguards here must all be very qualified, not just in physical fitness but also in professional abilities. No, she should say that if the bodyguards here weren’t qualified, then no bodyguards from other companies would be.

“I’ll talk to Zhan about this after I get back.”

“Please do speak to him well. It’s quite chaotic abroad, and Li Zhan doesn’t lack money. I’m even giving you a 50% discount. Why not hire a few more?”

Dong Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She thought Shen Wan must be anxious since her company hadn’t done any business in a month. She decided that regardless of Zhan’s attitude, she would force a few bodyguards on him to take abroad.

Shen Wan wasn’t wrong; it was indeed dangerous abroad. Remembering her sister’s accidental death, she became more determined. Zhan must take more bodyguards when he goes out. She approved of Shen Wan’s bodyguards, so she might as well support her business.

“It’s almost noon. Shall we go eat together?” Dong Zheng said.

Shen Wan quickly agreed, delighted beyond measure.

At the restaurant, Dong Zheng looked at the menu and ordered a lot for Shen Wan. After knowing each other for over a month, she basically understood Shen Wan’s tastes. For herself, she just ordered a steak and salad. Seeing Shen Wan eating happily, she smiled too.

“Zhan, be very careful this time abroad. It’s not very peaceful there recently,” Dong Zheng cautioned. “It’s best to take more bodyguards.”

Li Zhan responded, “Don’t worry, Aunt. I still have some skills, and I’ve been there many times. This time it’s just a simple meeting; there won’t be any danger.”

“I’m still not at ease,” Dong Zheng said. “Let me arrange a few bodyguards for you.”

Li Zhan knew Dong Zheng was worried about him. “Alright, Aunt. Please arrange it for me.”

“Is Xia Xuan going with you?” Dong Zheng remembered Xia Xuan. She didn’t like Xia Xuan much. But Li Zhan treasured her, so she couldn’t say much. As long as Li Zhan was happy, it was fine.

Li Zhan paused, then shook his head. “Xuan Xuan isn’t going this time. She just returned to the country not long ago and has many things to do.”

Xia Xuan wasn’t just some naive little rabbit; she had her own career. Having abandoned everything to leave before, now that she was back, she didn’t want to be kept in a villa like a caged bird by Li Zhan. Naturally, she was busy developing her career.

“Oh… Well, be careful then.” Dong Zheng muttered to herself, it’s best she doesn’t go.

After interacting with Shen Wan for a while, she didn’t tell Li Zhan that Shen Wan was actually quite a good girl, wondering why he was so fixated on the troublesome Xia Xuan. She thought Shen Wan was a nice girl, and her nasty nephew was actually quite a scoundrel in relationships, only being completely devoted to Xia Xuan.

Better to leave a good girl like Shen Wan for someone better.

Li Zhan also found it strange that his aunt wasn’t mentioning how Shen Wan was a nice girl. He had no interest in knowing about the progress of Shen Wan’s little bodyguard company. He had only heard it hadn’t collapsed, but after a month without business, as long as she didn’t come causing trouble, he wouldn’t say anything more.

Dong Zheng sent six bodyguards from Shen Wan’s company to Li Zhan, still feeling that it wasn’t safe over there. These bodyguards were all of good quality, personally selected by her based on their training performance over this period. They should be able to protect her nasty nephew well; that boy really was worrisome.

Thinking that Shen Wan’s bodyguards were all of good quality, she became enthusiastic. In her circle, countless people needed to hire bodyguards. During occasional business interactions, she would mention it, saying she had personally observed and that the overall quality of Shen Wan’s company’s bodyguards was quite good. If they didn’t believe her, they could come and inspect for themselves.

Dong Zheng wasn’t a nobody. Those who could be remembered by her, especially hearing that she had arranged six bodyguards for Li Zhan, took note.

As a result, just as Shen Wan’s bodyguard company officially started business, many people came to inspect. They found her bodyguards were indeed excellent, and with Dong Zheng’s recommendation, forty out of fifty bodyguards were taken by bosses.

Shen Wan planned to recruit more people if those bosses signed long-term contracts. After all, with Brother 8 and the system mall as her cheat, training a few professional bodyguards was quite fast.

Notably, for the six bodyguards sent to Li Zhan, Shen Wan equipped them with the highest defensive configuration. When Shen Wan had each of them wear a bulletproof vest and even told them to bring an extra one, although they felt it wasn’t that dangerous abroad, remembering their own growth in just a short month, they chose to trust her. They didn’t know that these bulletproof vests were high-grade items Shen Wan had obtained from the system space, not only light and thin but also very practical. Worn under clothes, they were completely undetectable.

Of course, they were very expensive, which pained her greatly. This world was where she lost the most.

“Miss Dong, you’ve been a great help to me. Let me treat you to a meal?”

Dong Zheng didn’t refuse. Even if Shen Wan hadn’t offered, she was planning to invite her for a meal. With forty bodyguards sold, Shen Wan had made a hefty profit and was no longer that poor little thing. So when Shen Wan offered to pay, she didn’t rush to do so herself.

Just as they finished eating, Dong Zheng received a phone call. Hearing the content, her expression immediately changed.

“Miss Dong, what’s wrong?” Shen Wan asked with concern.

Dong Zheng put down the phone and said gravely, “Something’s happened to Zhan.” She paused, then looked at Shen Wan differently. “Fortunately, we listened to you and arranged several bodyguards for him. If not for those bodyguards, Zhan might not have lost his life this time, but he would have been seriously injured.”

“That’s good then.”

“Zhan is coming back today. If we go to the airport now, we should be able to pick him up just in time.”

“Then I’ll go with you,” Shen Wan waved her little fist. “It’s so late, it’s not safe alone.”

Dong Zheng thought about it and agreed, “Alright.”

Then, Shen Wan unhesitatingly slipped into the passenger seat and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

Shen Wan: Her wife would eventually be hers. See, recently she’s been coming over for no reason, so proactive.

Happy!
