Bodyguard: Building a Factory in Africa with My Beautiful Boss

Lu Qiming never imagined that one day he would end up working as someone’s bodyguard.

Even less did he expect that the young heiress he was protecting would decide to build a factory in Africa on her very first trip there.

Gu Ruanruan’s original aim was simply to get three percent of the shares from the old man and catch up with her half-brother, Gu Beichen.

But then she met Lu Qiming.

And so a fallen former investment tycoon and a rich heiress took a hastily assembled team and headed to Africa.

Finding land, securing permits, conducting environmental impact assessments, negotiating with the government, finding banks, building a team, raising funds...

The factory that had existed only in a business plan actually took root, one step at a time!

Lu Qiming: I only came to Africa to make a little money and pay off my debts. How did I accidentally end up making it big?

Gu Ruanruan: Africa really is my lucky place! I not only beat Gu Beichen, I also happened to pick up the perfect man.

But at the time, they still had no idea...

A factory’s journey from blueprints to reality involved far more than just business competition.

Capital, power, family, local interests...

Every step forward meant a new struggle.

And their story in Africa had only just begun.
