Chapter 156
Inside the car.
"How much do you get paid for winning a fight in underground boxing?"
The atmosphere in the car instantly froze. Qi Lianyu hadn't expected that Lao Zhou would tell her even about this.
"Three thousand. You only get it if you win."
How many games per month?
Two games.
"With salary and bonuses, can you earn over ten thousand a month?"
"More or less, sometimes more."
Is there a sick person in the family?
"yes."
"who?"
“My daughter has kidney failure, and a kidney transplant won’t work. Now she can only be kept alive.” As he said this, the atmosphere in the car became even more tense.
"Is the child here?"
"Yes, the one who came with me has already been admitted to the hospital."
How much salary do you want per month?
Thirty thousand.
Do you think you're worth it?
As soon as he finished speaking, his well-defined fingers gripped the leather strap tightly on the steering wheel.
After a long pause, he said, “It’s worth it. I graduated from Harbin University and went straight into the military to work in information technology. I’m also very good at fighting. I originally wanted to join the special forces, but because I was too outstanding in information technology, I became the head of this department. I’ll keep the specific department a secret.”
“I don’t need IT here, so I can’t offer you such a high salary,” Fu Le said calmly.
He was indeed a highly talented person, but once he made a mistake, no amount of talent mattered.
"I... twenty thousand is fine too."
"You'll be with me for who knows how long this trip will last, so for now, I'll give you 10,000 a month." After saying this, the man didn't speak immediately; clearly, he was struggling with the decision.
"This money isn't enough to cover the child's medical expenses for a month. She needs at least 23,000 yuan a month." His low voice revealed the distress and helplessness of a father who had nowhere else to turn.
“You must have looked for a lot of jobs after you got out.” Fu Le seemed oblivious to his predicament.
"Yes, the salary is too low." So, having no other choice, he turned to Zhou Han for help. Zhou Han lent him money and also gave him a way out. Although the salary this boss paid was indeed high enough for this era, it was still not enough.
The place where he used to fight in underground boxing matches was banned. He approached several other places afterward, but they all refused to cooperate. Clearly, everyone was scared and afraid of being held accountable, so they shut them down.
He had already violated the rules by taking off his favorite uniform; he couldn't just commit a crime. He couldn't cross that line.
Every person has their own difficulties; in this world, everyone is trying their best to live.
Fu Le frowned. "How long can the money you have last?"
"One month," Qi Lianyu replied truthfully.
If a boss asks so many questions on a first meeting, does it mean he has a chance of getting a higher salary?
Of course, he would definitely work his ass off for her to make sure her salary was well spent.
"I'll give you a branch company, and you'll revitalize it for me. I want you to turn it from loss to profit within a year. Is that possible?"
squeak……
Qi Lianyu slammed on the brakes, turned to look at Fu Le, his voice trembling, "You mean..."
"Yes, I'll give you 30,000 a month. In addition, the company will cover your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. However, you only have one year to revitalize these three transportation companies for me." We'll see what you're capable of once we put you to the test.
In an era where the average wage is just over a thousand yuan, thirty thousand is an astronomical sum.
"Yes!!" His deep eyes were filled with determination.
"If the business fails to thrive, the penalty for breach of contract will be ten times your total salary!"
"good!"
This is a betting agreement. If he wins, everyone is happy; if he loses, he'll be killed or tortured at will. He can't afford to lose.
Fu Le's lips curled up in a smile. If he could revitalize the company, she would cure his daughter's illness and win him over completely.
She has plenty of money; she can afford to gamble!
Fu Le arrived at Humen Airport at around 4 a.m. the next day, where he was picked up by Chen Yuehua, the general manager of the branch office.
When meeting the company's behind-the-scenes boss for the first time, Chen Yuehua got up at 2 a.m. to prepare, constantly rehearsing and adjusting everything from her appearance to her speech, until she felt it was about right before driving over.
In a crowded airport, picking someone up requires a keen eye. Chen Yuehua, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, had an even harder time finding people, so she could only hold up a sign with her beautiful face.
Everyone in the upper echelons knew what Fu Le looked like, but no one had ever seen him in person.
Until Fu Le stood in front of him.
"President Fu." Suppressing her amazement, Chen Yuehua called out in a deep voice.
"Mr. Chen?"
"President Fu, this is Chen Yuehua." Although the factory's closure this time had little to do with him, it was still a manifestation of his incompetence. Unfortunately, he had just returned from overseas and had not yet firmly established himself. There were some people he couldn't control.
The company's senior management all knew that the reason President Fu had personally appeared was to resolve the crisis of the factory shutdown.
"This is my special assistant, Qi Lianyu."
"Mr. Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Fu, let me take you to Lehua Garden first." Lehua Garden is Fu Le's new residence, which he hasn't visited since buying it.
"Let's go to the factory first."
"yes."
"Notify the transport team to select ten of their best fighters and have them wait for me at Lehua Garden at 5 PM."
"yes."
Moon Charm branch factory area.
When the group arrived at the factory gate, it was only a little past six o'clock.
As soon as he got out of the car, Fu Le noticed several suspicious passersby.
There are still people watching them. They're quite dedicated at this hour.
"The three men—the one in the black short-sleeved shirt at three o'clock, the one in the red short-sleeved shirt at seven o'clock, and the three smoking under the big tree at twelve o'clock—are all on watch. Grab the man in the black short-sleeved shirt!"
"Okay." Qi Lianyu nodded and strode towards the man.
The man in black was staring in this direction when he suddenly noticed the woman opposite him saying something to the tall man beside her. The next second, she rushed towards him.
We've been discovered!!
The man's scalp tingled, and he turned and ran.
But the man chasing him was as fast as a leopard; he had only run a few steps when a large hand grabbed his neck. "Ah!!!"
The man in the black short-sleeved shirt screamed in pain, "What are you doing? You're robbing me..."
Before he could even utter the rest of his words, his mouth was covered and he was lifted up.
The short man, who was about 160cm tall, was lifted more than ten centimeters off the ground.
"Let's go." Fu Le was very satisfied with Qi Lianyu's explosive power. She let Chen Yuehua drive the car into the factory area, while she followed behind.
The few people pretending to be passersby smoking under the tree had already been terrified by what they had just witnessed, and the others, seeing that something was wrong, quickly ran back to report the situation.
When Qi Lianyu passed under the tree, he deliberately looked at the three people under the tree. The three people immediately pretended not to see anything and turned their heads to look elsewhere.
They didn't not want to run, they just couldn't; their legs were too weak.
This guy was fast and ruthless; look at the guy in his hand, it's like he's holding a dead dog.
Just as the man walked away and shouted, the three of them turned to look at the factory area again, only to find that the tall woman wearing sunglasses had somehow pulled out a Desert Eagle and pointed it directly at them.
"Wow!!" This time, none of the three of them went weak in the knees. They stood up and ran away as if they were being chased by a dog, tripping over each other with their left foot and running unsteadily without stopping.
Fu Le was amused and laughed out loud. "With such little courage, you still want to try and become a gangster?"
Inside the factory area.
The short man was thrown onto the concrete ground. He groaned, curled up, covered his head with his hands, and dared not move.
"Whose man is he?" Fu Le stepped forward, placing one foot on the man's left ankle. "If you don't tell me, I'll break your ankle."
Her voice was so clear and pleasant, yet the words she spoke were like knives, chilling to the bone.
The man shuddered, scrambling to his feet and kneeling at Fu Le's feet, not daring to raise his head. "Boss, I'm Yuan Ge's man. Yuan Ge is a henchman hired by Boss Wu. Boss Wu is the one who's causing trouble for your factory. He's Wu Long, the behind-the-scenes boss of Xinxiang Cosmetics Company."
Wu Long is the CEO of Xinxiang Cosmetics Company, but his brother is the legal representative. The reason is self-evident.
The man, trembling, told everything he knew. He had come to be a henchman, and if he were crippled, who would care about his life or death? He understood this perfectly well. Therefore, a wise man knows when to yield, and he wouldn't call himself a fool.
"Are those people outside all yours?"
"No, they are President Qin's people. I don't know President Qin, but I went out with President Wu before, and the person President Wu met was that President Qin. I don't know his full name."
A familiar face!
Fu Le raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting Qin Feng's hand to reach so far.
"Alright, throw it out."
Chen Yuehua stood at the factory gate in a daze until a short figure ran out from inside the factory and disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
A chill crept up my back, bringing me back to my senses.
This boss is ruthless, even more ruthless than Brother Lu. The people around her are no pushovers either; they don't seem to be just ordinary bodyguards.
Fu Le had no idea what the newly appointed general manager was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. How could a timid person control a branch company? If he couldn't handle it, he'd get rid of him and replace him with a bolder one.
I took a walk around the entire factory area. The machines were all very clean and well-maintained. Even though the factory was closed, the machines were covered up, and there was no dust on the curtains, which showed that someone cleaned them regularly.
Lehua Garden.
When Fu Le arrived home, the cleaning lady had already prepared the meal and left.
"Let's eat first."
Chen Yuehua was also surprised to be able to have dinner at her boss's house. She was flattered and nodded somewhat awkwardly.
After a night, Qi Lianyu was able to follow Fu Le's instructions with ease.
After finishing his meal, Fu Le went upstairs.
“Aunt Yu…” Fu Le dialed Yu Jie’s number. (Deng Yan’s wife)
"Oh, Lele, it's you! Long time no see! Did you go back to your hometown? Come to Aunt Yu's house for dinner!" Yu Jie's cheerful voice came through the phone after receiving Fu Le's call.
"No, I'm in Guangzhou."
They were both smart people, and as soon as Fu Le said that, Yu Jie knew what he wanted to see. "Tell me, who do you want to see? I'll figure something out for you."
Those in the industry all know about the Moon Charm branch factory. Moon Charm is a lucrative business, and everyone wants a piece of it. However, most people are just watching and observing, while a few bolder individuals are thinking of seeking fortune in danger.
"It was decided by the drug administration and the industry and commerce authorities."
"Heh...you're quick on the uptake. Alright, I'll get back to you later."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Yu. Lele will come to visit you after this is all taken care of."
"You brat, hang up now!"
After ending the call, Deng Yan, who had been eavesdropping, leaned close to his wife and asked, "What's up? What did this girl want from you?"
"They're looking for the person in charge over there. I'll help arrange it."
Do you need my help?
"No, this is nothing, I don't even need my dad." Yu Jie finished putting her long hair up and kissed her husband on the cheek. "I'm going out, aren't you on the night shift today?"
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
After Yu Jie left, Deng Yan made a few phone calls and then sent a text message to Fu Le.
Although his brothers are not the heads of the household, they can play a very good mediating role.
The fact that the little girl could contact them when she needed something made him and his wife feel very grateful, proving that they weren't treated like outsiders.
Old Fu's old face flashed through Deng Yan's mind, and he wanted to spit on him. How could such a bastard have such a good daughter? It's infuriating!
Fu Le received Deng Yan's text message and a smile spread across his face.
His father's friends are all really good people; it's only because he's unreliable that he lost them all.
Fu Le dialed Lu Shi's number, "What are you busy with? Don't you know I'm in Guangzhou?"
Lu Shi: ...
"Did you take some gunpowder? I'm already in a hurry, aren't I? You just arrived, I thought you'd need to sleep all day." He knew Fu Le's flight was in the middle of the night, and he thought the girl needed to catch up on sleep, so he didn't call.
"Has the person who stole my dad's money been found?"
"There are some clues. Give me another month."
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry." It's said that the person in the previous life died outside, and his body never came back. Because the funeral home wanted 60,000 yuan for body preservation, his son simply refused.
"How's it going over there?"
Is Chen Yuehua trustworthy?
“A talented young man from a poor family, with good character and great ambition, but lacking a foundation and platform. He can be used.”
"Okay, can I be the second-in-command at the branch office?"
"Here's what I think. You can take a second look. If it doesn't work out, we can switch. I have other alternatives." Switching if it doesn't work out, and letting the capable take the lead—this is Lu Shi's motto.
"You should leave the county town and go to Haishi to build a branch factory for Yuemei."
"Okay, give me a week."
In other cities, midnight is the perfect time for sleep and wellness, but in Guangzhou, it's just the beginning of the nightlife.
Yunwan Hotel.
Wu Long was drunk and, with the help of his subordinates, walked to the door. Just as he was about to get into his car, several thugs surrounding the car suddenly moved. "What are you doing?" It turned out that a dozen or so strangers had arrived, led by a woman.
"Boss, a few people have arrived. Please get in the car and leave first," A Yuan, who was supporting Wu Long, whispered in Wu Long's ear.
Wu Long looked at the tall, thin woman who had been stopped. It was late at night, and she was wearing sunglasses and smiling at him. She couldn't possibly be a nice person.
He lowered his head, ready to climb into the car.
"Mr. Wu, I'm from Moon Charm. Would you like to sit down and talk to me properly, or should I take you inside to talk? The choice is yours." A smiling female voice clearly reached his ears. Although Wu Long, who was a little tipsy, was somewhat affected in his actions, his mind was still clear, and he immediately knew what it was about.
He didn't say anything and got into the car.
"Get rid of the people around him." Upon seeing this, Fu Le's expression turned cold, and he said calmly.
The solution here, naturally, is to knock them unconscious.
After responding, Qi Lianyu gave the other ten people a wink.
"Drive! Let's go!!" Knowing that things couldn't end well today, A Yuan was filled with resentment. He grabbed a steel rod from the car and led his brothers to surround the enemy.
