Yu Ru saw what was happening on their side through binoculars, and immediately ordered her bodyguards to rush over and stabilize the situation.
With his long legs, he ran quickly and arrived beside Liu Bujing and Ming Shisui. Dressed in a custom-made suit, he stood tall and straight like a javelin, like an insurmountable barrier, separating the troublemakers from Ming Shisui and Liu Bujing.
Having spent years working in the homes of powerful families, he had also absorbed a degree of the oppressive feeling of those at the top, and when serious, he was quite intimidating. His gaze calmly swept over them, scrutinizing them from top to bottom, as if looking at an out-of-place ornament. Even after running for a while, his voice remained steady.
"Gentlemen, please watch your words and actions. I am Yun Jixing's attendant, accompanying my wife on this outing today. The lady before you is a friend personally entrusted by my wife to protect throughout the trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room suddenly tightened.
The other party's expression changed slightly, clearly aware of the weight and influence of the Yun family's family.
Long Legs' tone remained calm, yet every word was authoritative: "The Yun family never makes things difficult for anyone, but we also never allow anyone to disturb Madam's relatives and friends. Please stop here."
The other person's Adam's apple bobbed, and he opened his mouth, but under the long-legged man's stern gaze, his face turned pale and then flushed. One of them changed his insults into an apology. "Um... young man, it was all a misunderstanding, I'm sorry."
"You should apologize to these two people next to me, not to me."
Under pressure from Long Legs, the two men reluctantly apologized to Liu Bujing and Ming Shisui. Afterwards, Long Legs led Ming Shisui and Liu Bujing to Yu Ru.
"Boss, I'm sorry for causing you trouble again. It's all because of my people that they came here." Liu Bujing looked at Yu Ru with guilt and apologized first.
"It's okay, it's time to eat, let's find a place to eat."
“Honey, those people are so mean!” Ming Shi stepped forward and took Yu Ru’s hand. “They just came over and started cursing at people for no reason.”
"Hmm, I'll teach them a lesson later."
The group found a high-end restaurant for dinner.
Yu Ru made an excuse to take two bodyguards out to buy something, leaving Liu Bujing and Ming Shisui alone in the private room. She planned to let the two of them spend about five minutes together. Having just faced several troublemakers together, they would surely have something to say.
She guessed correctly; it was Liu Bujing who spoke first.
"Xiao Sui, thank you for standing up for me today. But please don't do that next time, it's dangerous. Those people are very crazy."
"How can that be?" Ming Shisui disagreed. "It's precisely because there are too many bad guys and the good guys aren't united that the bad guys are so arrogant. Brother Liu, there's strength in numbers! If we let those bad guys see that you're not alone, they won't be so arrogant anymore. Really, really!"
"Call me again if you need anything next time, and I'll help you curse those bad guys. Although I'm not as good as you, I know a lot of people, and maybe some of them are the ones they're afraid of."
Perhaps it was because her eyes were so bright and clear that the light reflected off her, making Liu Bujing feel as if her hair, her shoulders, and her fingers hanging at her knees were all enveloped in a very faint light. That tiny glimmer of light stung his eyes slightly. His life before this had always been like walking on thin ice, his heart like a river that had dried up for years. He thought his life would continue like this forever—hard, silent, and unknown to anyone. After all, someone had built an unbreakable dam at the end of the water source, blocking all the water. No one dared to step forward and open the sluice gates to irrigate his riverbed; all that remained were insincere shouts from the banks.
However, Ming Shi Sui resolutely brought water himself and poured it on his parched cracks. The water was clear and sweet, making him even more bewildered than when he was imprisoned. It turned out that besides his mother, there was someone else willing to water him.
Seeing Liu Bujing in a daze, Ming Shi waved his hand and asked, "Brother Liu, what's wrong?"
Liu Bujing snapped out of her daze. "It's alright, Xiao Sui. You're right. Thank you."
Meanwhile, seeing that it was almost time, Yu Ru returned to the private room with her bodyguards. As she entered, she discreetly glanced at Liu Bujing and Ming Shisui. Ming Shisui didn't seem to notice anything different, but Liu Bujing's gaze towards him was subtly different.
Yu Ru couldn't help but smile. A beauty rescuing a hero, a hero rescuing a beauty—it seemed to be a magic formula for fostering relationships, no matter the time or place. Heh, back in the day, it seemed Yun Jixing had won her over in the same way. Yun Jixing had warmed this dark, rat-like woman like fire, and then she slowly succumbed.

Ming Shi has been back in China for quite some time now, but she hasn't continued her tutoring work. She's a popular tutor at the company; many parents specifically request her to teach their children, and she handles many large orders, with excellent follow-up feedback. Therefore, the company doesn't let her take on orders that aren't very valuable; she's usually only allowed to take on higher-paying ones.
Because she went abroad to study for the past two years, all the orders she had previously handled were transferred to other companies by the company. After returning, she had no classes scheduled, and the company was waiting for a suitable employer to assign her orders.
Her company's order-taking process is quite open and transparent. The general process involves clients contacting the company to register their basic information and requirements for a tutor. A designated person then categorizes all registered orders by value and assigns them to corresponding work groups for tutors to accept. Orders priced at 1000 yuan per hour or more are classified as Grade A; 700-1000 yuan per hour as Grade B; 400-700 yuan per hour as Grade C; and below 400 yuan per hour as Grade D.
Teachers are also ranked. Teachers with average performance and no outstanding achievements are mostly at level D; those with some accomplishments in the education industry are at level C; those with rich experience and impressive resumes are at level B; and those with exceptional teaching abilities, unique teaching methods, and excellent customer feedback are at level A. Lower-level teachers cannot accept orders above their level, and the company will not send high-level orders to lower-level teachers' work groups. However, higher-level teachers have the right to accept orders from lower levels.
For example, a Level D teacher can only accept Level D orders and can only see information about Level D orders; a Level C teacher can see both Level C and Level D orders; a Level B teacher can see orders at all three levels (B, C, and D); and a Level A teacher has the authority to view orders at all levels. Teachers can apply for orders based on their own circumstances. If multiple people are competing for an order, the client will review the resumes of all the teachers and choose the teacher themselves.
Yesterday, the company released a lot of new orders, and Mingshi randomly selected two A-level and one B-level courses to enroll in. The tuition fees for A and B-level courses are not low; only the wealthy and influential can afford such prices. Teaching children from these families also signifies access to resources and connections. Therefore, other teachers have already signed up for these courses, and she's going to the company today to meet the parents and conduct interviews.
