"It seems you didn't hear me clearly... This time, the Alchemy Team of the Dihua Ability Institute will be hiring 'Yu Jing' and 'Tong Gu' as bodyguards. The expenses will come out of my own pocket."
Wang Xu continued asking, "But... Dean Qian, with your strength, why would you need bodyguards? No one in the entire Chemistry Academy is your match, right?"
