Chapter 124 I'm sorry

Li Yaozhong asked Yao Fanghua, "Just these six?"

Yao Fanghua: "The two who have worked in investigation will stay, and their salary will not be less than 600. As for the rest, I plan to build a high-quality security team in the factory, with a salary between 400 and 500. If they are willing to come, they can sign up."

Li Yaozhong laughed. "That's great! So, no matter what, things are settled?"

Four hundred is quite a lot; his total salary is only around four hundred yuan.

Li Yaozhong moved the stool closer to Yao Fanghua and asked, "Little Yao, how much does your security captain charge?"

What do you think of Uncle?

My uncle served in the army as a reconnaissance officer in his youth, saw combat, and after retiring, became the head of the security department at a machinery factory. He has extensive experience.

Yao Fanghua became interested and asked in return, "Are you willing to give up a secure job? And leave your hometown?"

"Forget about a secure job, nothing beats a golden one. But I'd much rather be your kid's bodyguard." Forget about leaving home; he longed to roam the world. Going to the port city was too tempting—a company car, a mobile phone, and a high salary. Even Old Ma didn't have that kind of treatment; he'd have something to brag about later. He was nearing retirement; his life in the machine factory was pretty much over. Now this opportunity was right in front of him; he had to seize it.

This golden opportunity really appealed to Yao Fanghua. This Uncle Li didn't seem as rigid as Factory Director Yu and Factory Director Ma. Plus, considering his role in rescuing He Xiulan and her daughter, Yao Fanghua looked him up and down, and her impression of Li Yaozhong improved dramatically. "The security team leader's salary is around eight hundred. Uncle Li, you can definitely handle that. If you really want to come, I'd be thrilled."

"He's a bodyguard," she said, "he's too old. If something really happens, who will protect whom?" It's not that she's discriminating against older people, but time really does take its toll. Other positions are fine, but bodyguarding is really more suitable for younger people. Younger people do have better physical and other physical qualities.

Li Yaozhong chuckled, "Uncle understands, it's all about ability." He wanted to be a bodyguard even more now, because he could earn more. It wasn't just about how much he earned; it was clearly a matter of whoever earned the most was the boss of the group.

Everyone made room for Wang Jianwu.

Wang Jianwu struck a pose, and the eyes of the group flashed with fierce energy. This was not just a dispute over wages, but also a struggle to confirm their position as the leader.

Without a doubt, whoever wins this fight will be the leader among these people!

It started as a chaotic brawl, with the group exchanging blows before quickly finding their targets and engaging in two-on-one combat.

Then came a three-way brawl, until finally only two remained.

Wang Jianwu's punches are all powerful and accurate, and his strength, speed, and explosiveness are all superior.

As expected, Wang Jianwu won in the end.

Others who were eager to try but had seen this performance hesitated and dared not step forward.

Li Yaozhong slammed his fist on the table, "Take advantage of his fatigue! A thousand! If you win, you'll be the boss!"

Wu Peng's lips twitched. How could someone treat their own nephew like this? Wasn't this the time when he was holding the other's hand and praising him as a good nephew?

Yao Fanghua glanced sideways, unable to believe it. This Uncle Li, how come he has such a bandit-like air about him?

As soon as Li Yaozhong finished speaking, someone rushed forward, but was quickly defeated by Wang Jianwu.

With someone taking the lead, they all went up one after another. Some went to challenge the other special forces soldiers, while most went after Wang Jianwu.

One after another, they all succumbed to defeat.

Seeing that no one else was going up, Li Yaozhong tore off his belt, threw it on the table, and went on stage.

Li Yaozhong didn't feel embarrassed at all. You've played so many matches, but I'm getting old, so don't say I'm taking advantage.

Yao Fanghua looked at Wu Peng, "Is he serious? Will something bad happen?" Yao Fanghua felt that Li Yaozhong was good at managing the security team, but was he really going to fight? After all, he was getting on in years.

"No, they're all rough men. What's the harm in a few thrashings? Besides, isn't that his nephew? How hard could he possibly hurt him?"

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, Wang Jianwu kicked Li Yaozhong with such force that it was clear he wasn't holding back at all.

Yao Fanghua's brow twitched, and then she saw Li Yaozhong rush forward again without any fear and return the punch to Wang Jianwu.

The two exchanged blows, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

Yao Fanghua's eyes lit up as she watched; he was really good at fighting, this bodyguard was worth it.

Wu Peng had already gone up close to watch and was cheering him on. Goodness, no wonder he'd smoked with him before, he didn't let his brother down!

'Sweep him up, sweep him with your leg!'

'Fight! Fight them hard!'...

Those watching couldn't help but offer advice, and it was unclear which side they were cheering for.

Finally, Li Yaozhong was tackled and pinned to the ground by Wang Jianwu. Wang Jianwu held him down with one leg and locked his throat with the other, grinning broadly, "Sorry, Uncle."

Li Yaozhong struggled twice, but couldn't break free, and gave up in defeat.

A group of people were groaning and stamping their feet in regret.

Li Yaozhong also felt sorry for himself, thinking it was a pity that he was too old; if only he were younger.

On Monday, news spread through the machinery factory's security team that their leader had submitted his retirement application. The team immediately became agitated. The factory said it wanted to reduce staff and increase efficiency, but surely the reductions wouldn't affect their leader!

Li Yaozhong was optimistic. His children were all married, so he could pack up and take his wife directly south.

When he got home and told his wife what had happened, she scolded him for being crazy and causing trouble at his age!

Li Yaozhong chuckled, his arm around his wife. "Old Yu's in Beijing, and Old Ma's in Shenzhen, right?" he thought. "Even if I'm still a security captain, my pay will be better. At least I'll be earning as much as Old Yu and Old Ma. Maybe I can even go to Hong Kong! Wow, I feel like I'm finally going to get some recognition in front of my old buddies!" Li Yaozhong was practically bursting with anticipation.

He's getting on in years and has long wanted a different way of life. These past few days he's been acting like a child, with that childlike anticipation for new environments to explore.

Within the security team, several people approached Li Yaozhong one after another, wanting to go with him after hearing that their boss was going to Shenzhen and about the salaries there.

Li Yaozhong selected a few and called Yao Fanghua to report them.

Yao Fanghua had no objection. Both Huapeng Electric and Huazhong Technology factories needed security, and it would be great if Li Yaozhong could train a top-notch team for her.
