Chapter 19: Bodyguards
On a sunny morning, Joseph said goodbye to his wife and drove to the company, where he joined the security department after retiring from the company's operations department yesterday and had his first client. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He has been a mercenary for several years, and he has fought a lot of wars over the years, and his hands are covered with blood, although he does not have any guilt, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any accident can happen, maybe any operation will be hanged.
He couldn't die so early, and he had his wife and two children to take care of, so he finally decided not to be a mercenary anymore and transferred to the security department to work as a bodyguard.
Yesterday, a customer chose him as soon as he was transferred to the department, mainly because of his excellent resume, his background in special forces, dozens of large and small wars, and his low-key personality and calm and reliable personality.
However, after reading the customer profile, he was a little hesitant, because the Andy he wanted to protect was too young, and there were too many reports about Andy recently, and he was worried that the young man's rebellion and hormone venting behavior would bring a lot of trouble to his work.
Especially since Andy is still a young billionaire, it is still impossible to understand his temperament, anyway, the future work will not be simple and easy.
When he was struggling, the department manager reminded him that "the customer is a famous writerγγγγγ "Since I'm a writer, the scope of my work has narrowed down a lot, and I don't travel all the time, so don't writers like to stay at home, even if they go on business trips, they should be short-lived, so that I can take care of my family well. So, he agreed to work with another bodyguard to keep Andy Smith safe.
Andy's bodyguards are all selected by Carl, age, seniority and family are the primary conditions for his selection, young, underqualified, bachelor, bad looks all PASS, according to Andy's fun-loving temperament before, the person who protects him must have a calm and patient personality, and under comprehensive consideration, he finally chose Joseph, who has rich practical experience, and Kenny, who has protected many movie stars.
After receiving their gear and credentials from the company, Joseph and Kenny drive to the Mockingjay Copyright Company to meet up with Carl.
When Andy met them, he was beating the sandbags in a random manner, just sweating, and the sandbags were thumping with his might. Joseph and Kenny glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, Andy's strength was very amazing, no worse than the strength of their soldiers, it was simply incredible, after all, they had to go through years of systematic training to make their strength stronger.
And Andy is so young, the strength shown by his body doesn't make sense at all, unless he is born with divine power, thinking of this possibility, Joseph and Kenny's eyes trembled, and they looked at Andy Smith who was holding the sandbag and stopped exercising with envy.
"Andy, these two are in charge of your security from today onwards. Carl handed the towel to Andy and introduced, "This is Joseph, a special forces soldier with a wealth of combat experience. This one is Kenny, who has worked as a bodyguard for Cage and Tom and is very experienced. β
Andy hurriedly wiped the sweat stains on his hands with a towel, and stepped forward to shake hands with the two with a smile, "Hello two, I'm Andy Smith, my safety will be up to the two of you in the future, if you have any suggestions in the future, tell me directly, I will try my best to cooperate with your work." β
Joseph and Kenny glanced at each other secretly, Andy gave a good impression of the two, as for the temper and personality, this needs to be observed in the future, "Hello Mr. Smith, I'm Joseph, I'm Kenny, please rest assured, we will keep you safe." β
"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, okay, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the house first, I usually spend most of my time writing novels at home, but recently there are a lot of reporters and some fans outside, Carl thinks I should strengthen security, I also have this idea, take precautions, you are experts in this area, how to get it, what you need to say directly." From the moment the media exposed his assets, Andy knew that he needed someone to protect him, he wouldn't be stupid and shout for freedom without bodyguards, his happy life had just begun, and he didn't want to be killed easily.
Joseph is an offensive expert, Kenny is a defensive expert, and the security of Andy's villa has been observed and considered when he is outside, and it is a familiar thing for them, and it is not troublesome.
"In addition to the security system in the room, I recommend installing infrared and thermal sensors on the perimeter, monitoring all the trees near the street, and of course, preferably two more dogs. Joseph suggested with a serious face.
Andy felt like he was now full of black lines, and Nima didn't need to set up machine guns on both sides of the door, and looked at Kenny with a ridiculous look on his face, nodded in agreement with Joseph's suggestion, and hurriedly said, "Hey, guys, it's not that serious, is it?"
"Boss, although the security in the rich area is good, but your villa is not protected by a courtyard wall, only a low fence cannot prevent strangers from entering, we need to be completely in control of everything around us. Joseph patiently explained to Andy.
"I γγγγγγ Hey, okay, you two discuss it, you can buy whatever you need, listen to you. Andy shrugged helplessly, for his own safety, he should listen to the experts.
Joseph nodded earnestly, pulling Kenny aside to discuss the purchase of the equipment. Carl touched his bald head, very satisfied with the professionalism of the two bodyguards, so that he could rest assured of Andy's safety.
"Okay Andy, just leave the security to them, are we going to go to San Francisco for a while? Nelson has already called, the game company has basically negotiated, and now I will wait for you to sign and pay." β
"GOOD! Great, don't prepare anything, let's go to the airport right away, let's go now!" Andy's face was excited, the matter of the game company was finally going to be solved, he didn't want to wait any longer, some ideas were still produced as soon as possible, and the advantage he had was not the advantage of time.
Carl was dragged out of the house by a flaming Andy, squeezed open the door surrounded by paparazzi under the protection of the giant man Joseph, and got into the business car.
Watching the paparazzi constantly knocking on the car window and competing for the position to take pictures, Andy felt for the first time the distress of being a star and some inflated vanity in his heart, and he seemed to like this feeling of being sought after.
"Hehe, these paparazzi are really crazy. Andy, you're the hottest news spot right now, by the way, there are a few talk shows I want you to attend, are you interested?" Carl likes this feeling of being followed, although he is not the protagonist, but the protagonist's success is partly due to him, and more because he likes the joy and satisfaction that this success brings.
"Oh, what are the shows? Is there an Oprah talk show? It can't be some show with no ratings, right?" Since the windows of the commercial vehicle are not covered with special car films, which cannot block the camera's shooting, Andy had to keep his image with a charming smile on his face, and asked jokingly.
"Ahem, ahemγγγγγ Carl, who seemed to be choking on something, twisted his head to the side and coughed lightly, not looking at Andy's face for fear of embarrassing him.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" the business car rushed out of the paparazzi's encirclement, and after speeding away all the reporters, Andy relaxed, looked at Carl with a strange expression, and asked with a blank expression.
"You really don't remember?" Carl seemed to think of something, his expression became more and more strange, and the fat on his face twitched slightly.
"What do you remember?" asked Andy, even more confused, angrily.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you were often photographed drunk during the time you were silent, messing around with messy women, in an issue of book clubs, Oprah once publicly criticized you, saying that you were willing to γγγγγ Carl spoke in a lower voice, as if he didn't want to embarrass Andy, and didn't continue.
"Hah, is that the case? Why don't I remember?" Andy chuckled dryly, rubbing his nose in embarrassment.
"If you don't remember, forget it, just treat it as if it didn't happen. Even if she didn't invite you, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and CBS's "The Ellen Show" both sent invitations, I think you should go, after all, we are partners with NBC, and CBS is also negotiating with our company for the rights to "Do Not Disturb", and they are very sincere. Karl hurriedly changed the subject, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he foamed at the mouth of the persuasion.
"Ha, let me be a guest musician at night live, right? Andy didn't expect to invite himself to these two shows, he liked the Allen show very much in his previous life, but he didn't expect to be invited to the show now, it's fake to say that he is not excited, "Saturday Night Live" is known as the No. 1 variety show in the United States, and he is embarrassed to say that he is a person in the entertainment industry if he has never been on the show.
"You agreed? Great, I thought you were going to make an excuse to push again. Carl was a little surprised to hear Andy agree to be on the show.
"Cut, what's so surprising about this, since things have come to this point, it would be too fake if I still squirmed, and besides, I like this kind of light-hearted show. Andy gave Carl a blank look and said angrily.
"Haha, it's long overdue, you should have increased your exposure, well, after the show, you can sign a contract with Universal Music to release a record, and then the "Hunger Games" will be released immediately after the release, and then hype, run around to promote, wow, then the sales will definitely increase greatly, and the cute American knives will fly into our pockets one after another!" The more Carl spoke, the more excited he became, the fat on his face kept shaking, and his eyes were staring at Andy with a greedy glint as if Andy was a delicious piece of cheese that he wanted to swallow in one gulp.
"Damn! What Universal Records? What are you doing behind my back? You tell me clearly! Why don't you die!"
"Ahγγγγγγ A scream rang out from the van, and Andy grabbed Carl by the neck and roared loudly
