After all, this time it’s desert archaeology. The way they look, they don’t seem like the type who can endure hardships in the desert; they seem more like spoiled rich kids.

"Hey, are all these people here to interview for bodyguards?"

Su Xuan asked curiously, thinking that it can’t be right, so many people here for bodyguard interviews. Just those filling out forms are already more than twenty people, and over on the other side, there are more than thirty sitting on the grass, with a dozen going through interviews.

"Yes, they’re all here to interview. Since the salary for bodyguards is really high this time, many people want to try for it. If my body weren’t giving out, I’d want to give it a shot too!"

"Oh, so that’s what’s happening!"

Su Xuan rubbed his nose, quite curious. From Su Xuan’s understanding, archaeology has always been a tough job without much pay.

"Yes, this time the archaeology is not purely by the National Archaeological Team; it’s sponsored by a wealthy businessman woman, so the salary for outside hires is very good. As far as I know, the base salary for this trip is two hundred thousand per person, and if you perform well, you can even get a raise!"

"I see!"

Su Xuan rubbed his nose, thinking that two hundred thousand might not be much for many wealthy people, but for many, it might take years to earn that money; it’s quite a significant sum.

After all, when the archaeology team goes out, the safety is definitely better than entering the desert privately because they have national support and the supplies are much better. Although there are some dangers in the desert, the issues generally aren’t too big, so it’s a good thing to go out this way.

"Brother Meng, go fill out two forms!"

Su Xuan said, looking over at the interviews, where a middle-aged man was being interviewed, who looked well-trained. But what Su Xuan was even more curious about was how this archaeology action ended up being sponsored by a wealthy businesswoman. If this had happened in the last century, Su Xuan would have understood; the country was very poor back then, didn’t have money for such things. But now, in Huaxia, money is not an issue, theoretically, you wouldn’t need sponsorship for archaeology.

After a while, Brother Meng finished filling out the forms and came to Su Xuan smiling.

"Boss, look at this form, it’s almost as detailed as the enlistment form!"

Su Xuan took a look and smiled, saying.

"The desert area is tough and not everyone can handle it. If some are coming for the high pay but aren’t physically fit, it’s impossible for them to enlist. After all, if they end up dying in the desert, it’s their responsibility!"

Su Xuan said as he pulled out a cigarette, tossing it to Brother Meng, and lit one up himself, waiting for the suburban interviews to begin.

"Turns out, the sponsor this time is a rich second-generation; I heard it’s a very young and beautiful woman!"

Brother Meng said with a smile.

"Did you hear why they would sponsor this? Theoretically, Huaxia doesn’t lack money now!"

Su Xuan asked curiously.

"I didn’t hear that part; just heard a bunch of guys talking about how pretty the woman is."

Su Xuan helplessly laughed, teased Brother Meng.

"Hey, Brother Meng, have you found a girlfriend yet?"

"Not yet, don’t want to. Relationships are too much trouble; being alone is more peaceful!"

Brother Meng said with a carefree expression.

"Haha, sounds like there’s a story here; seems you’ve been hurt by a woman!"

Su Xuan said with a smile, and as soon as he finished, Brother Meng had a line of black on his face, thinking to himself, "Can you not be so smart, it’s quite embarrassing for me."

In fact, just as Su Xuan had guessed, Brother Meng had been heartbroken, and that’s why he’s unwilling to settle down now.

While the two were chatting, suddenly they heard someone shout.

"Number fifty-six, come for the interview!"

"Boss, it’s your turn!"

Brother Meng quickly said.

"So soon!"

Su Xuan looked at his form, and sure enough, it was number fifty-six. As everyone watched him head to the interview area, they were a bit curious.

"Wow, the lure of a two-hundred-thousand salary is really big, even this young pretty boy is here!"

"Yes, a gust of wind could probably blow him away; can he make it in the desert?"

"Hahaha..."

Su Xuan hadn’t even gone for the interview yet and was already being underestimated; no choice, even though Su Xuan doesn’t look as sissy as that pretty guy Lu Han, he’s quite handsome, looking more like a successful person in his trench coat, not really fitting the image of a bodyguard.

When Su Xuan arrived at the interview, sat down, the man in charge of the interview frowned and said.

"Sir, did you come to the wrong place? This is bodyguard interviews!"

Seeing Su Xuan in suit and tie, for a moment he thought this guy had found the wrong interview location, looking more like he was here to interview for a CEO position, not for a small role like this.

"I didn’t make a mistake, I’m here for the bodyguard interview!"

Su Xuan smiled casually, saying.

"..."

The man felt speechless, thinking this was indeed the high-salary effect. Initially worrying that approaching the new year might leave them with no applicants, unexpectedly the two-hundred-thousand price brought in a horde, he’d just been interviewing a lot and was already fatigued, many were just jokers.

Though over fifty people had already been interviewed, he immediately eliminated over forty, leaving a dozen he planned to assess further before selecting a few. However, someone like Su Xuan was definitely on his reject list.

"Do you know Kung Fu?"

"Kind of." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Su Xuan nodded, looking at the man, thinking to himself that taking him down would just be a matter of one kick.

"Then tell me the basic principle of being a bodyguard!"

Clearly, the man wasn’t interested in Su Xuan at this moment; if not for the need to go through the motions, he’d just brush Su Xuan off.

"To fight!"

Su Xuan directly answered with two words.

The middle-aged man sneered, thinking it was just boastful talk; he was about to say, "You can go," when suddenly he heard a curious voice.

"Why to fight? Isn’t ensuring the employer’s safety the priority?"

Following the sound, everyone saw a woman walk out from the room. Just at a glance, she was truly refreshing to look at, wearing a beige trench coat, her slender legs adorned with black boots, making her appear tall and her hair tied behind her head; she had a unique aura of beauty.
