Chapter 548 Investing in a Security Company
An hour later, the group appeared at the airport.
Three hours later, the plane landed in Beijing.
The bodyguards flagged down several taxis and escorted Li Banxia and the others safely home.
"Mom, was the journey smooth?"
"mom……"
The eldest and second eldest Su brothers stepped forward one after the other. The second eldest Su glared at the third eldest Su, took Li Banxia's suitcase, and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law and Xu Ying are preparing dinner."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
Song Yuanzhi lagged two steps behind, carefully scrutinizing Li Banxia from head to toe before finally feeling relieved.
Then, he quickened his pace and lightly tapped the leading bodyguard on the shoulder, saying, "You've worked hard, guys."
"We're all family, no need to be so polite. It's getting late, and if there's nothing else, we'll head back now..." The bodyguard smiled and said he was leaving.
Song Yuanzhi laughed, "What's the rush? Who leaves their own doorstep without having a drink of water? After dinner, I'll find you a place to rest, and I'll buy you tickets to go back tomorrow."
The group exchanged glances, and before they could say anything to refuse, Li Banxia spoke up, "Yuanzhi is right. When you come to your own doorstep, you should at least have a meal. I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"...Then I'll have to trouble you."
Meals are secondary; we should help out no matter what, as Captain Song used to take good care of them.
Once inside the courtyard, Le Bao'er grabbed Mingwa, and Mingwa led Xiao Yuejin. The three of them ran, stumbling and making a series of close calls. Arno stood behind them, his eyes scanning the crowd like a scanner, always managing to catch one of them just as they were about to fall flat on their face.
Li Banxia couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"grandmother!"
Le Bao'er rushed over first, grabbed her leg, rubbed against her for a moment, and tried to climb up, but Su Laosan grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
"Su Lebao, where are you going to crawl to... You, you get down here!"
Before Su Laosan could finish his sentence, Le Bao'er stepped on his belt, climbed up his chest, and hung on his arm like a sloth.
Su Laosan laughed angrily, shaking his arm.
Le Bao'er laughed heartily, "I learned this from Arno, it's called a backflip, Uncle, you can't shake me off..."
The next second, Arno pulled the person down and put them on the ground.
Le Bao'er, "..."
This time, it was Su Laosan's turn to burst into laughter.
Li Banxia couldn't help but laugh. She took Le Bao'er's hand with one hand and Mingwa's hand with the other. Mingwa pulled Xiao Yuejin along, and the four of them walked through the hallway into the backyard.
Two square tables were set up in the main room. Yao Jianshu and Xu Ying were setting out the bowls and chopsticks, while Aunt Qiu was serving dishes to the tables.
The group took their seats at separate tables. Song Yuanzhi and Su Laoda greeted the guests, while Su Laoer and Su Laosan helped serve the dishes.
Soon, all the dishes were served, and we started eating.
After the meal, Li Banxia handed out the promised red envelopes to the group and explained her reason for keeping them here: "I'm thinking of investing in a security company and would like you to come and oversee it, help train employees, and provide security personnel. Alternatively, our company only hires veterans. I wonder if you would be willing to come?"
"This is a good thing."
Someone happily said, "I'm a single man, and I'm willing."
Some people hesitated, saying, "My home is too far from the city center, and my parents are getting old. I'm worried about their health since I'm not home all the time..."
"Me too. My wife is taking care of two patients by herself, and there's also work in the fields. I'm afraid she can't handle it all by herself, so I... I guess I'll pass."
"I'll let it go. My parents are biased. When I'm not home, my wife and children are always bullied by the eldest son's wife."
Song Yuanzhi sighed helplessly.
I told Li Banxia, "Their discharge from the military is for roughly the same reasons as now."
Li Banxia pondered for a moment.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I'll get a piece of land first and build the dormitory. Once the company is up and running, you can bring your families to stay in the dormitory. If any of your family members have a skill, we can also arrange jobs for them."
Upon hearing this, their eyes immediately lit up.
"That's great! Farming is so grueling, it's all dependent on the weather. If the weather is bad, the whole season is wasted. My son before me, my wife was so tired and hungry that he died a few days after giving birth. Otherwise, he would be a teenager now..."
When he spoke of his son who died young, the man's eyes reddened, and he almost cried from heartache.
Song Yuanzhi patted the man on the shoulder.
Li Banxia was also somewhat moved. She knew how difficult it was to stretch every penny, let alone toiling in the fields and relying on the heavens for a living, which was even more difficult.
She sighed inwardly and promised, "As long as I have food to eat, I will never let anyone go hungry."
Song Yuanzhi nodded in agreement from the side.
They had just met Li Banxia and didn't know if what he said was true or false, but they all knew what kind of person Song Yuanzhi was. Seeing him nod, their hearts were instantly at ease.
Some people excitedly said they would call home later to tell their wives the good news.
Some people thanked Song Yuanzhi, and others thanked Li Banxia.
Although they live in the countryside, they know some things about the city. State-owned enterprises are laying off employees, and finding a job is no longer something that can be done by simply spending money.
Therefore, Li Banxia's initiative to arrange work for them was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
Li Banxia called Su Laosan over and asked him and Song Yuanzhi to book a few hotel rooms for the group so they could rest at home for a while. She would call them once she had made the arrangements.
Su Laosan nodded in agreement and followed Song Yuanzhi to see the group off.
Xiao Zhanyou also said goodbye. Su Lao Er saw him off and watched him leave in a taxi. Then he turned back to Li Banxia and said, "Mom, it's getting late. Xu Ying and I are going back now."
Li Banxia nodded, "Go ahead, we can talk about it tomorrow. Don't tire Xu Ying out, go back and rest early."
After the couple left, Le Bao'er, Mingwa, and Xiao Yuejin also went to bedtime, and Aunt Qiu and Arno went to coax them to sleep.
"Mom, you should get some rest too."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement, then sent Su Laoda and Yao Jianshu, who was offering to massage her shoulders, back to rest. Li Erge went to his usual guest room, while Li Banxia returned to her own courtyard.
Sitting down at the dressing table, she took out the bank card from her handbag, listened to the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window, and gently stroked the card number on the card with her fingertips.
To win billions with 50 million is like a pipe dream.
Surprisingly, she actually did it.
Despite feeling excited, Li Banxia's heart remained as still as a mirror lake, without a ripple.
She put the bank card back in her handbag, washed up, and went to bed. Lying in bed, she thought about where to buy a piece of land to build a house or a building.
She doesn't know how to manage money. She either puts the rest of her money in the bank to earn interest or pours it into real estate to hoard houses and land, waiting for prices to skyrocket. What other way is there to make money work for her?
Stock up on gold? It's a global hard currency; its value may rise slowly, but it won't fall...
Li Banxia didn't sleep well all night. The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, she went to the health center.
As soon as the person went in and changed into a white coat, they were blocked in the changing room by a group of people of unknown origin.
