Chapter 119 Reliable to Each Other
After listening, Wu Peng told her not to get involved. He said she could handle it; he was good at it.
Yao Fanghua glanced at him and said, "I know you know a lot of people, so don't do anything illegal. With your current wealth, doing something illegal would be beneath you. Spend more money to have someone keep an eye on him, get evidence to catch him red-handed, and then hand the rest over to the police. Didn't you say that spending some money is just a drop in the ocean?"
Wu Peng laughed, knowing that Yao Fanghua was teasing him about the hospital room.
"I'll also find someone to keep an eye on things as soon as possible."
Wu Peng asked curiously, "Who did you ask to keep an eye on her?" She doesn't have as many connections in Beijing as she does in Shenzhen.
Yao Fanghua: "Want to know?"
Wu Peng nodded obediently and leaned closer to Yao Fanghua, "I want to."
Yao Fanghua chuckled and said, "The two children are going to school in Hong Kong next year, and they're supposed to need bodyguards. I'm always worried about you coming from Hong Kong."
Kidnappings happen frequently in Hong Kong, and the constant media coverage in magazines and radio makes Yao Fanghua uneasy. If it weren't for Hong Kong's educational standards and environment, she would rather her two children attend school in Shenzhen. This time, she's not only getting bodyguards for her children, but also for Wu Peng, who frequently visits Hong Kong.
If these people are useful, she'll keep a team of security personnel like them at the factory. That way, there will be someone available if something happens in the future.
"You know Director Ma of the mold factory, right?" Before she went to Shenzhen, the two of them would drink together from time to time.
"Mr. Ma? What, are you trying to trick me into working for him?" Wu Peng joked with Ma Xintao. He remembered when Yao Fanghua first arrived in Shenzhen, as the owner of Huapeng Electric Appliances, she met Ma Xintao for the first time. When Director Ma saw Yao Fanghua, his eyes lit up. He thought Yao Fanghua was working for Huapeng, and he slapped his thigh, saying why didn't she choose him when she came to Shenzhen? Why didn't she come to work for him? He immediately pulled Yao Fanghua aside and told her to quit her job and come work for him. It would still be a secure job with excellent benefits.
Later, when they learned that Yao Fanghua was the boss, they were quite surprised. When they learned that she and Wu Peng were a couple, they were disappointed and exclaimed that Wu Peng acted quickly, no wonder the factory was able to open so quickly.
The two factories had been cooperating for a long time. Later, Yao Fanghua and Factory Director Ma had more contact, and the two became more and more compatible, making their cooperation smoother.
"Seriously speaking, I'm not looking for a reliable bodyguard. Mr. Ma is a former soldier, and he and Director Yu are old comrades-in-arms."
I asked Mr. Ma if he knew of any suitable, highly skilled individuals, or career changers looking for high-paying jobs.
"He recommended him to you? Is he a special forces soldier? Where is he? I haven't seen him."
"As long as they're skilled and alert, that'll do. Of course, special forces soldiers would be even better. We'll offer them a high salary!"
He recommended someone to me, the head of the security department at the local machinery factory, saying he could definitely help and that he had many demobilized soldiers under his command.
"Where? This way? Beijing Machinery Factory?" That old scoundrel? He'll help? Is the person he recommended reliable?
Wu Peng pulled his chin back and slowly asked, "Is it reliable?"
"He's a former soldier, screened by the state, so he's reliable, right? This battalion commander is also Director Ma's comrade-in-arms. Originally, I was thinking of having them recommend people here and then have them go to Shenzhen for interviews, covering all expenses. Now that they're in Beijing, we'll interview them here. If they're suitable, we'll keep them; if not, we'll find someone else."
Now that they needed people, they decided not to wait any longer. Yao Fanghua took out her phone number and called the man named Li Yaozhong.
Li Yaozhong was slumped in his chair with his legs propped up on the table. The older he got, the less serious he became. When the phone rang, he answered it casually. As soon as he heard the surname Yao, he immediately sat up straight. He was so glad to finally get this call.
Old Ma called him and said someone was hiring a bodyguard for a big company with a high salary. He asked if Old Ma had any suitable people on hand, preferably skilled in combat.
Old Ma is in Shenzhen, and when he talks about high salaries, it's a sure thing! Old Ma connecting people is a sure thing! Li Yaozhong slammed his fist on the table, "Yes! Absolutely!"
Seeing that Li Yaozhong was quite excited, Old Ma picked up the cup himself. He simply told Li Yaozhong to prepare the people and wait for a call.
Li Yaozhong pressed further, asking for specific details about the requirements. "Where are you from? You need a proper bodyguard, right? We only sell our skills, not our bodies. Is the salary really high?" Old Ma ignored Li Yaozhong's barrage of questions, keeping him in suspense. This old man wouldn't explain anything clearly, keeping him hanging on. He just kept him waiting for a phone call. This old guy was taking advantage of the distance to avoid dealing with him, which was driving Li Yaozhong crazy with his temper.
Someone in the team overheard him muttering something and spread the word. Every now and then, people would come to ask him if he had a high-paying job, what the requirements were, and whether he was a good candidate. Quite a few people also recommended his comrades to him. Those of them with urban household registration could at least be assigned a job after leaving the army, but many of his comrades from rural areas had to return to their hometowns to farm after being discharged, and their lives were difficult.
Li Yaozhong once had an exceptionally talented soldier who was discharged and returned to the countryside to farm. Later, his son joined the army and was said to be even more outstanding than his father, becoming a special forces soldier. Now, he too has been discharged and returned to his hometown. He's fine with farming himself, but he really doesn't want his son, with all his skills, to be farming in the same place. So, he shamelessly came to Li Yaozhong's door from his hometown. When his son returned to his hometown before, he didn't bother Li Yaozhong at all. Now, he came to Li Yaozhong's door because of his son. Li Yaozhong scratched his head; he really wanted to help!
Several months have passed, and he hasn't made any progress in finding jobs for people. It's useless. He's a small leader in a big factory, after all. Li Yaozhong even slapped himself in the face. It's useless.
Li Yaozhong was extremely anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have slammed his fist on the table so excitedly when Lao Ma called.
He couldn't be blamed for the job situation; he genuinely tried his best, using every connection he could. Unfortunately, the current situation is bad; it's a miracle they didn't lay off employees. The main problem is the residency issue; getting into a decent company is incredibly difficult. He couldn't just send this kid to do manual labor; he has his pride! Not being able to provide a place for him left Li Yao with a bitter taste in his mouth.
I'd been worrying for months, but thank goodness, Old Ma called!
He has already written to that child, and others in the team who have taken a liking to him have also written to their comrades. Many of them have already moved into the guesthouse. If Old Ma makes a feint, he could go straight to Shenzhen!
"Two days later, that'll be the weekend. Let them come in two days." They couldn't find a suitable place right away. Wu Peng's courtyard in the alley had been empty, but it wasn't suitable as a recruitment venue. Finally, Yao Fanghua suggested the location of the suburban office, which was not only a warehouse but also Zhong Er's office. They could tidy it up and use it as a temporary recruitment venue.
