So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 559 - Preservation of the Company's Operations

“Brother Yang, although we have a friends.h.i.+p between us, we are now doing things for the boss. Let’s not mess with the rank. You shouldn’t call me Brother Bao in the future. Calling me Sanli or Baozi will do.” Bao Sanli was adaptable. The status of Yang Ming wasn’t the same as the past. They were buddies, but if the boss knew what happened, it won’t be so wonderful.

Yang Ming didn’t object to it after listening to it. He smiled and nodded to acknowledge Bao Sanli’s suggestion. Yang Ming was also very happy that Bao Sanli bore the overall situation in mind. This also saved a lot of trouble. Bao Sanli wouldn’t be arrogant because he had a good relations.h.i.+p with him.

“Alright, Baozi.” Yang Ming nodded. “Do it well, and the boss won’t mistreat anyone.”

“I understand.” Bao Sanli solemnly nodded. He didn’t feel any imbalance now. He had also mingled in the underworld. In his opinion, strength was everything. Yang Ming was more powerful than Hou Zhenhan. It was normal to be a provincial spokesperson. I’m even worse than Hou Zhenhan. I can only rely on hard work to work from the bottom bit by bit! Furthermore, the current status had made Bao Sanli very satisfied. He wasn’t a very ambitious person. When he was fighting with Yu Xiangde to the death, it was entirely because of the conflict between the two people. It wasn’t that he was greedy for territory.

Yang Ming glanced at Hou Zhenhan and nodded secretly. Fortunately, Hou Zhenhan cooperated very much and didn’t say anything untimely. In fact, Hou Zhenhan was also surprised that Yang Ming said that he was the spokesperson of Mr. Y, but because Yang Ming had his reason for saying that, Hou Zhenhan didn’t have any objections.

Seeing that things had been solved so smoothly, Yang Ming was also delighted deep down his heart. After all, if the timing of his ident.i.ty disclosure wasn’t good, it would definitely cause Bao Sanli’s unhappiness and envy. But, he didn’t expect it to be solved just like that. It seemed that it was very wise to propose that he was the spokesperson of Mr. Y. Later on, to move on from being the spokesperson to Mr. Y himself, Bao Sanli wouldn’t have any wild thoughts. By that time, Yang Ming would have established absolute authority.

“Let’s keep this matter a secret. Only you and Big Hou know.” Yang Ming looked at Bao Sanli and said, “I have another ident.i.ty as a university student. I don’t want to have too much relations.h.i.+p with the underworld. Moreover, the underworld affairs are only a small part of the overall affairs of Mr. Y. It doesn’t occupy a large portion.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Yang.” Bao Sanli immediately nodded after listening. “I know what to do.”

“Great. If there’s nothing else, I will go back first.” Yang Ming stood up and said, “If Wu Ming wants to say something, you ask him about the behind-the-scenes master. If he doesn’t want to say it, then just lock him up first. Don’t kill him. Keep this person and he will be useful later.”

“Okay, Brother Yang.” Hou Zhenhan promised, “We will look after him.”

“In addition, you and Baozi also pay attention to safety. You should be careful regardless of whether or not this person was sent by Guo Jinbiao.” Yang Ming said, “The boss doesn’t want to see you both die.”

“Brother Yang, we will protect ourselves. If there is nothing else, we won’t go out during this time.” Hou Zhenhan’s and Bao Sanli’s expressions became serious.

“Then, I will be leaving.” Yang Ming got up and he was about to leave.

“Let me show you out, Brother Yang.” Bao Sanli said quickly.

Yang Ming hesitated a little and nodded. I’m a brother of Bao Sanli. Many people know that. I don’t have to avoid it as though it was a taboo. Hence, I don’t need to hide too much. “Alright, it’s a good time to let me see how are you doing in this security company.”

“Brother Yang, please…” Hou Zhenhan opened the door for Yang Ming. He followed at Yang Ming’s side with Bao Sanli as he summarized the current status of the company to Yang Ming.

The business of the Ming Yang Security Company had developed rapidly. What Yang Ming didn’t expect was that it had already entered the stage of profitability. Moreover, there was no shortage of earnings!

“In addition to providing security services to some hotels and entertainment venues, the company is now also beginning to undertake personal security services.” Hou Zhenhan said, “The protection of the hotel and the entertainment city are basically done by the gang’s brothers. Because of our position in the underworld of Song Jiang, those Entertainment City and hotels are also willing to spend money to hire our people. To put it plainly, it’s the legalization of protection fees. But, the punishment is skilfully given by one and gladly accepted by another [1]. We don’t force it now. However, those bosses are rus.h.i.+ng to ask us to go over instead.”

“This idea is great. You have done well.” Yang Ming nodded, pleased. I really didn’t look at the wrong person. The surprise that Hou Zhenhan brought to me is too big. “But, wasn’t there security for those hotels and entertainment city in the past?”

“The security guards from the past still remain. They are only responsible for some ordinary work such as parking lots and gates. If they encounter trouble, they still have to rely on our brothers. So, those bosses are willing to use our people.” Hou Zhenhan explained, “Although our charges aren’t cheap, those bosses won’t care about these. After all, to operate an entertainment business, it’s always safety first. Or else, who would come and play?”

“That’s right.” Yang Ming agreed and nodded. “How did you start your personal security business?”

” Hehe , this is also Brother Hou’s idea.” Bao Sanli smiled and said, “Brother Hou said that a company must continue to develop. We can’t always operate in the same business. We need to gradually legalize ourselves, so a personal security business is also more important.”

” Oh ? Why?” Yang Ming asked with interest.

” Hehe , I’m a veteran. When I launched my business, the council office of veterans and labor bureau approached me. They told me that I can’t forget my origins. I can’t omit my care about others if I’m developed…” Hou Zhenhan shook his head and smiled. “With that, they looked for me to solve some of the employment problems of the veteran personnel for them! I discussed with Brother Bao and agreed. Although these people can’t provide special protection services for the Entertainment City, they can provide some personal security services. For example, when some wealthy people are hiring private bodyguards for their children or relatives, then these people can come in handy! Each of them has good skills!”

“Good job!” Yang Ming patted Hou Zhenhan’s shoulder and said, “I’m very pleased. I believe that Mr. Y would be very happy after knowing it!”

“Then, I will need to trouble Brother Yang to compliment me in front of Mr. Y!” Hou Zhenhan immediately said after getting the hint.

Looking at the company’s thriving business, Yang Ming was satisfied. This was also his first business. Moreover, Hou Zhenhan could understand his own intention. The underworld wasn’t his ultimate goal, but a means to achieve a purpose.

The three men went downstairs together and saw that the company’s receptionist and a few strong guys were arguing.

“What happened?” Yang Ming asked with a frown. It wasn’t a good habit to quarrel at the company’s doorstep which would drive away many potential customers.

“I’ll go and take a look.” Hou Zhenhan ran quickly and inquired the reason for the incident.

“Xiao Zhang, what happened with these people?” Hou Zhenhan asked the front desk lady. He was updating Brother Yang during his company inspection. This was an eyesore at the key moment!

“President Hou, these people were coming to the company to apply for a job. I explained to them that we don’t recruit people here, but they didn’t listen …” Xiao Zhang explained.

“What happened? I’m the manager of this company.” Hou Zhenhan turned around and asked the few strong guys.

“What a coincidence! The manager came!” One of the guys who seemed to be the leader stood up and said, “You explain to us. Why doesn’t your company recruit people? We have the priority employment recommendation letter from the sub-district office! It’s the sub-district where your company is located. You don’t even listen to the sub-district office?”

When Hou Zhenhan heard the young man’s words, he didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Gentlemen, the sub-district office is only recommending employment, but our company isn’t lacking people now. Even if there were a lack of people, we won’t be recruiting from society. You can go to other companies to see…”

“Our brothers can’t do anything else. We still can be security guards. If you don’t let us get the job, aren’t my brothers going to starve to death?” The young man who led them said, “In the district where the sub-district office is located, you’re the only security company. If you don’t want us, where can we go? Also, on what basis are you guys not recruiting from society?”

“We have signed labor contracts with the government. The recruited staff are veterans.” Hou Zhenhan explained.

“What? You guys even discriminate.” The young man who took the lead was displeased after hearing it. “I’ll tell you this. Our brothers aren’t worse than those retired veterans. Why is there a manager like you? You even separated us into different levels?”

Hou Zhenhan was speechless after listening. This young man is really bull-headed. He’s indeed stubborn! How is this called discrimination?
