Chapter 456 Hiring Bodyguards
Once December and New Year's Day are over, it's time to start preparing for the Chinese New Year.
During the New Year's Eve dinner this year, Shen Mo brought up something at the table.
Shen Mo said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, Ningning and I plan to have a wedding ceremony this year."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard about holding a wedding ceremony.
Shen Mo had always wanted to have a wedding with his wife, but at that time the children were still young and the situation was not good.
Now that the country is gradually improving and no longer has that capitalist system, he thought it was time to hold a wedding ceremony.
However, since they have been married for many years, the sudden announcement of another wedding might cause some strange noises from outsiders.
He didn't care, and his wife was willing to have a wedding ceremony, so naturally she didn't care either.
Moreover, given the honors they've earned along the way, no one dares to say anything unpleasant to their faces.
The main issue is whether parents care about what others say.
While he was still worried about his parents' objections, he saw his mother excitedly slap her thigh and say, "Great! When are you planning to hold the wedding ceremony? Have you decided on a date yet? If not, Mom will decide for you."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, we plan to hold the wedding after Zhiqi takes his high school entrance exam this year."
Mr. Shen said, "If you want to wait until after the child's high school entrance exam, wouldn't it be perfect to have the wedding during the National Day holiday?"
Shen's father's words were an instant wake-up call for Jiang Ning and Shen Mo. National Day is a very important holiday in China.
Zhiqi was already in high school at that time, so it wouldn't affect his exams.
The date for the wedding ceremony was set.
There are still more than half a year before the wedding can be held.
Not long after the Chinese New Year, a new policy was suddenly introduced in China that allowed private individuals to own cars.
With this policy in effect, Jiang Ning began to consider buying a car.
Although the military leaders didn't say anything, it wasn't good for Shen Mo to drive the military vehicle to pick her up and drop her off every day.
Now that the policy allows people to buy cars, Jiang Ning immediately discussed buying a car with Shen Mo.
When Shen Mo heard that his wife was considering buying a car, he had no objections.
Next, we looked at the cars.
In the end, they chose a Santana. Since they already had a car, it would be more convenient for them to travel.
After buying the car, Jiang Ning urged Shen Mo to teach her how to drive.
She can drive, but the original owner of this body can't, so she has to pretend.
Shen Mo immediately began teaching his wife to drive with great enthusiasm. He soon discovered that his wife seemed to have a talent for everything. She was able to drive on the road after only one day of learning.
Then he discovered that his wife was learning to drive so that he wouldn't have to drive her to and from get off work anymore.
Because of the previous kidnapping incident and the attention given by higher-ups, Shen Mo was granted special permission to pick her up and drop her off at get off work.
But he is now the deputy brigade commander. Although he rarely goes on missions, the military region still needs his approval for many things. She also feels sorry for Shen Mo, who picks her up from get off work every day and sometimes makes her go back to work overtime for important matters that require decision-making.
Jiang Ning told him that he wouldn't pick her up from get off work, and Shen Mo refused without even thinking about it.
Recently, due to a mission, Deputy Division Commander Liang recalled the two soldiers who were sent to secretly protect Jiang Ning back to the military region. It's fine for his wife to stay at the hospital and school, but it would be dangerous for her to act alone.
Jiang Ning knew his worries and didn't want to be kidnapped again.
However, Shen Mo holds a military position and cannot be by her side to protect her at all times. The people the military region assigned to her have also been recalled to carry out missions.
Just as Jiang Ning was fretting over this matter, Shen Mo returned home one day, accompanied by two men of similar age.
Shen Mo explained, “Honey, they are all veterans, comrades who went through thick and thin with me. They were all discharged due to injuries and have some old wounds, but they don’t affect their daily lives. I plan to hire them as your bodyguards and drivers, so I can feel more at ease when you go out.”
Jiang Ning was troubled by this matter, but Shen Mo solved it in the blink of an eye.
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Li Yue."
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Wang Hong."
The two people Shen Mo brought greeted Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled and replied, "Hello."
Since she got a soldier husband, she knew that they valued camaraderie among soldiers very much.
Shen Mo brought these two veterans in with the intention of giving them jobs.
They're not short of money now, so hiring two bodyguards wouldn't be a problem.
Watching Shen Mo talk with his two comrades, it was clear that they had a deep bond of camaraderie.
Shen Mo personally approached Jiang Ning about needing a bodyguard. He actually had some comrades from other regions, but they were all too far away.
Both of these comrades were from the capital. After retiring, they made a living with their skills, but they could only barely make ends meet.
When Shen Mo personally came to their door to ask them to be bodyguards, they agreed without hesitation.
They didn't even discuss salary; they would help out because of their camaraderie.
After selecting two bodyguards, Jiang Ning paid them a salary of one hundred yuan each, with additional benefits for holidays and festivals.
Upon learning that Jiang Ning was going to offer them such a high salary, they waved their hands and declined without hesitation.
They couldn't even dream of earning a hundred yuan a month, especially since they were brothers who had gone through thick and thin with Shen Mo. They couldn't live with themselves taking such a large salary.
After all, Shen Mo had said that he usually just drove Jiang Ning home, and if there was any danger, he would just ensure her personal safety.
This kind of work isn't tiring for them.
Where did they get so much salary?
Jiang Ning felt that the salary was relatively conservative. She was not short of money, and in addition to her salary, she also had a stable source of income from Dexingtang every month.
Being a bodyguard is a high-risk profession, and if a kidnapping were to happen again, it would be no laughing matter.
She had originally wanted to charge even higher, but worried about scaring them off, so after careful consideration, she settled on a monthly salary of one hundred yuan.
Seeing that his two comrades declined, Shen Mo then analyzed the pros and cons of the matter with them.
They also talked about Jiang Ning's previous kidnapping.
Upon learning that Jiang Ning had been kidnapped, the two immediately stopped refusing.
No wonder they need bodyguards.
They were both locals from the capital and knew that Jiang Ning was now a celebrity who was frequently in the news, and had even gone abroad to receive an award a few months ago.
This honor really brings glory to the country.
Upon learning that Jiang Ning had been kidnapped, they immediately accepted the high salary without further hesitation.
Jiang Ning arranged accommodations for the two bodyguards who were responsible for picking her up and protecting her on a daily basis.
She rented a bungalow in the village outside the family compound for them to live and rest in.
When she works at the hospital or school, they can arrange their own time.
When Jiang Ning rests at home, it's also their rest time.
But people in this era always feel something's not right if they don't do something every day.
When Jiang Ning was resting at home, they would register to enter the camp and then train with the new recruits.
Now that I've taken on the job of a bodyguard, I have to ensure that my body is always in top condition.
We can't let them be indifferent just because they're acquaintances.
On her day off, Jiang Ning cooked at home, and then went to the camp with Sister Li to deliver the food.
Upon arriving at the camp's training ground, they saw Shen Mo training his soldiers in obstacle course.
The two retired soldiers that Shen Mo had invited for her were also on the list.
Seeing that he was still busy, Jiang Ning didn't go over to disturb him.
Just as the two veterans were running the obstacle course, when they reached the last obstacle, Li Yue suddenly felt his arm being pulled, and he fell off the railing.
Shen Mo immediately went over.
Li Yue gave a wry smile, "Ever since I was shot in the arm and suffered from the aftereffects, I'm really not the same as before."
Wang Hong also said, "We're injured now, how can we compare to before? Okay, stop being dramatic, get up quickly, I'll take you to the infirmary."
"let me see."
Just then, a woman's voice came from behind them.
Shen Mo listened to their words and let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Just as he was about to take the person to the infirmary, he heard his wife's voice and his face lit up with joy.
Jiang Ning quickly walked over and examined Li Yue's arm.
The aftereffects on this arm are from an old injury that has been there for many years. There is no possibility of a cure, but acupuncture can provide some relief.
Jiang Ning gave him acupuncture, and Li Yue felt that his arm, which would usually hurt for days if it was pulled, didn't hurt much after a few acupuncture needles.
Li Yue looked utterly shocked. "Sister-in-law, what kind of magic needles are these? How come the pain stops after a few needle pricks?"
Jiang Ning smiled and then asked, "Do the places where you were injured and have lingering effects become painful when the weather changes?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue and Wang Hong nodded vigorously.
If I take good care of myself, it doesn't hurt very often, but once I strain it or the weather changes, it aches and hurts a lot.
It's extremely torturous.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it.
Jiang Ning said, "After get off work, I'll give you acupuncture once a week. After a few sessions, the weather changes won't make you feel uncomfortable anymore."
The two looked delighted. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law! By the way, sister-in-law, please deduct the cost of the acupuncture from our wages. We know you're a very famous doctor, how could we take advantage of you!"
Jiang Ning said, "You protect me, so I'll guarantee your health. It's only right. You're all A Mo's brothers, so this is just a perk I give you. It's free."
Before the two could say anything more, Shen Mo spoke up, "Alright, my wife said it's a perk, so stop making a fuss."
The two immediately shut up.
After training, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo were on their way home.
Jiang Ning noticed Shen Mo glancing at her several times, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Jiang Ning took the initiative to ask, "Amo, what do you want to say?"
"Wife," Shen Mo hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak up, "I have some comrades who, like Li Yue and Wang Hong, are suffering from the aftereffects of their injuries. Their wounds ache even when the weather changes. Next time you give Li Yue and the others acupuncture, could you also take a look at the other comrades?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning blinked and said, "Sure, what's so hard about asking?"
Shen Mo sighed, "I was worried you'd get tired."
Jiang Ning put her hands on her hips and said feigned anger, "We're husband and wife, don't talk like that!"
Shen Mo was amused by his wife's little expression, and the seriousness on his face disappeared.
Jiang Ning hugged his arm. "Actually, I had an idea when you hired bodyguards for me."
What are your thoughts?
Jiang Ning said, "Our family has enough funds now to start a security company. We can recruit all your comrades who were discharged due to injuries."
Although she said that, she was not a philanthropist.
Now that it's completely open, more and more stars will come to the mainland to film movies, and many entertainment companies will gradually develop there.
The security industry will be in high demand in the future.
She gathered the people in advance so that she could provide them with a stable salary and regularly maintain their health, so that they could be put to work protecting celebrities when the entertainment industry takes off.
