Chapter 598 The Pie Falls on Eula
Just when everyone was chatting animatedly, a figure rushed into the lobby of the Debo Hotel in a hurry.
This person was none other than Myles. As soon as he came in, he quickly looked around, and his gaze finally fell on Navia, Shao Yun and others on the second floor.
Then he shouted loudly and ran towards the stairs quickly.
"Miss! Mr. Shao Yun! I finally found you!"
When Navia heard the voice, she looked over and saw Miles's anxious look. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. What important thing had happened?
When he hurriedly climbed up to the second floor and came closer, he asked, "Myles, what happened?"
Myles calmed his rapid breathing a little and then hurriedly explained.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that someone from Mo Mang Palace sent a message to tell me to inform Mr. Shao Yun that Mr. Villette asked him to go to Mo Mang Palace, saying that there is an important matter that needs to be discussed with him in person."
Shao Yun pointed at himself and asked in surprise: "Me?"
……
In the afternoon, sunlight shone through the window into Villette's spacious and elegant office in the Momang Palace.
Shao Yun brought Ying and Paimeng into the room. Although Villette only came to see him, he didn't say that he couldn't bring his family members!
As soon as he entered the door, Shao Yun's eyes fell on Villette who was sitting on the sofa in the reception room.
Shao Yun walked forward quickly and asked, "Then Mr. Villette, you are looking for me?"
Seeing this, Villette smiled, stood up to greet them, and motioned for them to sit down and talk.
"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."
After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the set of sofas neatly arranged in front of him.
After sitting down, Shao Yun asked again: "So what's the matter?"
That Villette did not hesitate and answered directly: "To be honest, I asked you to come here because I hope to invite you to serve as Ms. Funina's temporary guard."
Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
He asked in disbelief: "What? What did you say? Guard?"
Villette repeated what she had just said.
"I hope you can serve as Ms. Funina's bodyguard for a period of time. The terms are negotiable."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Villette asked, "Is there any difficulty?"
Ying asked the key question.
"Isn't this a bit like stealing Clorinde's job? We can't do something that would ruin someone's job!"
That Villette quickly waved her hand, signaling her to relax, and patiently explained.
"You don't have to worry about this. We are just asking Mr. Shao Yun to take over the position temporarily for a short period of time. Once Clorinde's injuries are healed, everything will be back to normal."
Shao Yun, who was standing by, quickly reacted after hearing this and further explained in a simple, clear and easy-to-understand way: "Haha, to put it bluntly, this is just a temporary worker."
Navilette nodded, agreeing with Shao Yun's statement.
"Well, that's understandable, but one thing I need to emphasize is that the pay for this temporary job is quite generous."
When Paimon heard that the reward was generous, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face instantly glowed with excitement, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and shouted loudly: "The reward is generous!!! Wow, that's great!"
Then, she turned around, looked at Shao Yun eagerly, and asked expectantly: "Shao Yun, what do you think? Do you want to accept this job?"
"I believe that Villette will definitely not treat you unfairly! It just so happens that you don't know how to kill time recently!"
Shao Yun did not answer Paimeng's question immediately, but pondered for a moment.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and said to Villette: "Wait a moment, Mr. Villette. Before that, it would be better for us to discuss it privately first."
After saying that, he took Ying and Paimon and temporarily left Villette's office.
……
After walking out of the office, Paimeng felt strange about Shao Yun's behavior of coming out to talk.
"Shao Yun, do you not want to accept this commission? But if you don't want to accept it, shouldn't you just refuse it directly? Why do you still have to come out to discuss it?"
After all, I didn't cause any trouble to Shao Yun. After all, I chose to ask for his opinion and did not agree to it.
Shao Yun really had no intention of educating Paimeng. The main reason was that he thought of a more suitable candidate, "Eula", and planned to discuss it with Ying and Paimeng and recommend her!
"I was thinking, how about letting Eula give it a try?"
Paimon didn't understand why Eula was recommended to be Furninna's guard, and asked: "Eula? Why?"
Shao Yun explained: "Think about it, Eula is studying hard every day for her exams. With her skills and experience, she is more than qualified to be the captain of any security team, let alone an ordinary police officer."
"So, should we take this opportunity to help Eula become a full-time member of the security team? I have everything, but Eula needs this opportunity! Don't you agree?"
After Shao Yun's explanation, Paimeng nodded in agreement and said, "Now that you mention it, Eula really needs this opportunity to show her face more than you do!"
……
After Shao Yun and his group returned to the office, Villette asked, "How about it, are you willing to take on this commission?"
Shao Yun took a deep breath and responded according to the pre-planned strategy: "Then Mr. Villette, I'm sorry, you know I'm here for vacation, not for work."
"But regarding the selection of guards, I have a more suitable candidate, 'Eula'. What do you think?"
When he heard Shao Yun mention the name Eula, Villette couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.
He touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Hmm... Eula? I have heard of this person a little bit."
"Miss Yan Fei once specifically asked her to be responsible for her security during her stay in Fontaine..."
After a brief pause, Navillatte continued to ask a key question cautiously.
"Will Miss Eula be a little inadequate in her abilities if she is assigned as the guard of the water goddess Fernina?"
"After all, protecting the Water God is a very heavy responsibility!"
In the face of Villette's concerns and doubts, Shao Yun patted his chest and made a promise.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Villette! Eula's skills are definitely among the best, and it is more cost-effective than hiring me."
"Besides, Eula and Funina are both girls, so it must be easier for them to get along with each other than it is for me."
"Although being a bodyguard is based on ability, you also know that my first meeting with Funina was not a pleasant one. Even though it's all over now, it's inevitable that we still have some grudges against each other."
After listening to Shao Yun's words, Villette couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Indeed... Apart from your abilities, your relationship with Funina is indeed a problem."
Seeing that Villette showed interest in this, Shao Yun seized the opportunity and struck while the iron was hot to discuss the salary issue for Eula.
"As for Eula's salary, I would recommend that you just convert her to a regular security guard. What do you think?"
When Villette heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Are you going to let her become a regular employee right away? I'm afraid this doesn't conform to the rules and regulations of the security team..."
Shao Yun refused to give up easily and continued to lobby Villette.
"Youla's strength should never be underestimated. If we fail to recruit such an outstanding talent into the security team in time, it will be a great loss for Fontaine!"
"With her ability, it's no problem for her to take on such an important position as the Water God's Guard. Being a member of the security team is a piece of cake for her!"
Upon hearing this, Villette fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he finally raised his head, looked at Shao Yun, and asked the last doubt in his mind.
"However, as far as I know, her resume did not provide any details about her past relevant experience..."
Navilet still had doubts about Eula's ability.
Hearing that Eula had concealed her past, Shao Yun countered the situation and used his own reputation to speak for Eula.
"Ah? Oh, so now you know it? Can't my words serve as a guarantee?"
After hearing Shao Yun's statement, Navillatte, who had some doubts in his heart, immediately felt relieved.
He nodded slightly and responded, "Well, Mr. Shao Yun, since you said so, I will naturally trust you.
"Could you please ask Miss Eula and Miss Yanfei what they think?"
"After all, Miss Yan Fei has asked Miss Youla to serve as her bodyguard during her stay in Fontaine."
Shao Yun agreed without thinking and responded readily: "No problem, leave it to me. I'll go ask them for their opinions right away."
After that, he took Ying and Paimon with him to see Eula.
Villette seemed to have suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly shouted, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Shao Yun, your apartment has been searched."
"If there's nothing suspicious, you can go back and live here today."
Upon hearing that the apartment was safe, Shao Yun responded, "Okay, thank you. We got it."
……
The Thorn Rose Society stronghold in Gray River.
Shao Yun came alone to find Eula, Ying and Paimeng did not follow, so they went back to their rented apartment to check first.
Shao Yun came to the door of the room where Youla and Yanfei lived.
He knocked on the door gently a few times, then raised his voice and asked, "Eula, Yanfei, are you home?"
Not long after, Yan Fei's voice was heard in the room.
"Come on, come on!"
Then, the door was opened. Yan Fei looked at Shao Yun outside the door curiously and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to us about?"
Shao Yun looked into the house and continued to ask, "Is Eula home?"
Hearing this, Yan Fei slightly moved aside to make way, and invited, "I'm here, come in."
Shao Yun walked into the house and quickly scanned the entire room.
The layout of this room is roughly similar to the one next to it, but there are some subtle differences.
Perhaps the most obvious thing is the set of desks and chairs that look like those found in school, and a blackboard hanging on the wall.
At this time, Eula was sitting quietly at the desk, holding a pen in her hand, concentrating on the questions in front of her.
When she noticed Shao Yun coming in, her hands stopped moving and she looked up at him with a puzzled look.
Seeing this, Shao Yun wiped his nose with his hand, a little embarrassed, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, did I disturb your study?"
Youla pursed her lips nervously, trying to calm herself down, and then said softly, "It's okay, what's the matter?"
Shao Yun explained in a concise and clear manner why he came to see her.
"It's like this. You should have heard about it. Not long ago, a mysterious man appeared. He not only kidnapped the guy named 'Vash', but also injured Clorinde, the guard of the water god, and Xiawolei, the captain of the special training team."
"That is why the Water God lacks capable guards."
"Just now, Villette came to me and wanted me to be Furninna's bodyguard, but I thought of you..."
Youla was obviously shocked by this sudden news. She raised her hand in disbelief, pointed at herself, and said what Shao Yun had not finished.
"Ah? Me? You mean, you want me to be the guard of the water god?"
Shao Yun smiled and nodded in affirmation, and explained in further detail: "Yes, I have already discussed it with Villette. You only need to temporarily serve as the Water God's guard for about a month."
"Once Clorinde's injuries are completely healed, you will be able to become a full-time member of the Fontaine Guard!"
After hearing these words, Eula was completely stunned. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. Such a big pie actually fell on her head!
"Is this...really?"
Seeing that Youla seemed to be skeptical about this good thing, Shao Yun patted his chest and guaranteed it.
"Villette is the highest judge of Fontaine. How could he play such a joke on me? This is absolutely true!"
However, Eula still showed a trace of worry on her face, and she muttered quietly: "But...what if something goes wrong?"
As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously turned to Yan Fei beside her, seeking her opinion.
Seeing this, Yan Fei thought for a moment and quickly persuaded: "Eula, I think this is a rare opportunity!"
"Think about it, you study hard every day just to pass the exam and get a permanent job. Now that such an opportunity is in front of you, you must seize it firmly!"
Hearing Yan Fei so actively suggesting that she go, Youla knew that if she agreed to this, it would mean that Yan Fei would soon leave her side.
These days, Yan Fei not only acts as his own tutor and imparts knowledge.
At the same time, she also serves as her own psychologist. Whenever she feels anxious or stressed, she can always give her timely care and encouragement to help her adjust her mentality.
When she thought of Yan Fei returning to Liyue, Yula couldn't help but feel an indescribable reluctance in her heart.
But she also understood that all good things must come to an end and that there would always be a time for separation.
After some inner struggle, Youla nodded gently and said to Yan Fei with gratitude: "Well, since you all say so, I will give it a try."
"Yan Fei, thank you very much for your help these days. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to hold on until now."
Yan Fei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said softly: "Oh, no need to be so polite!"
"After all, there is a saying in Liyue, 'Teaching and learning benefit each other'. I have also benefited a lot and learned a lot of new knowledge!"
Hearing this, Eula asked again: "So, Yanfei, when do you plan to return to Liyue?"
Yan Fei pondered for a moment before slowly answering, "Well... maybe in a few days, Ye Lan and I will go back together."
When Youla heard this, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and gave her sincere blessings.
"Is that so? Then be careful on your way! When you are ready to leave, I will see if I can spare some time to see you off."
