保管 (bǎo guǎn) — to keep in safekeeping, to take care of; to guarantee, to be certain of (an outcome)

Definition

保管 has two senses: to keep something safe (objects/documents — lighter than the legal/guardian sense of 监护), and to express confidence an outcome will happen (colloquial, weaker than the formal 保证/确保).
