zzs is used to working for big shots, its what he's been doing since his teenage years. over a decade as a bodyguard and even a spy, he's since retired from working for his cousin in hopes of living a more calm and sedate life.

although somehow, he's

been convinced to work for another big shot, but as a nanny thing time... like. what.

zzs can barely take care of himelf and now he's expected to care for a totally breakable toddler... in fact, zzs's entire career as a bodyguard could be described as breaking ppl.

the more than hefty paycheck had been quite convincing, but also the fact board and food were provided - food that he Doesn't need to cook.

but perhaps the most persuasive benefit was protection.

how ironic. zzs is hired as bodyguard and yet he's being protected too.

wen kexing, probably everyone in china has heard his name in the past 24h - he's Everywhere. most recently appearing in headlines for his formidable philanthropic venture. founder and ceo of Ghost Valley, an innovative web-based pharmacy with a short supply chain.

the man's since expanded out of pharmaceuticals, thus growing his conglomerate. its safe to say the man's got his hand in every basket.

a high profile man such as wkx would surely has his own private resources, thus how zzs was found and propositioned. the man made no attempted

to hide the fact he knew of zzs's involvement with helianyi and tianchaung. it was an unspoken agreement that wkx had his own brigade of secret guards and was opening a path of protection to zzs in exchange for protection of his daughter.

zzs agrees.

four days later he's packed up some belongings and is chauffeured to a gated, wealthy neighbourhood with impressive security. zzs Knows each house is worth millions upon millions, including the one he's going to be living in from now on.

all sorts of his personal information is

taken before he can take the elevator, and even then, there is notable security measures in place. in the future he wont go through all this, he's told by his chauffeur secretary person, soon he'll be able to freely move with just some keys and identification cards.

the house is immaculate, clean like a show room and not a home with a toddler. at least thats what the first floor looks like. the second floor is what zzs had expected. there are toys littering every inch of the wood floors and even kid's cloths. the chauffeur

easily steps between the scattered items.

inside a grand study, is his boss, wkx, looking as pristine as their first meeting, wearing that same vibrant red suit too. the secretary chauffeur is handed a file and quickly waved away.

his new boss's smile is bright and cunning.

"so, you're here!" zzs doesn't reply. "axiang is still at the park with my sister, they won't be back for another hour or so. in the mean time i'll give you a rundown of what i expected from you, and you can do the same too. so let's negotiate."

right down the business, good.
