Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Hiring Someone
"Are you sure you’re not joking? Why don’t you just rob someone for 6 million?"
Li Dong thought Wang Lishan was just taking the opportunity to extort them; hiring someone couldn’t possibly cost that much.
Their skepticism was exactly what Wang Lishan had anticipated, so he had already printed out the quotation in advance.
"See for yourself if I’m overcharging. It’s all clearly stated here in black and white."
As he spoke, Wang Lishan placed a form on the table.
Zhang Qiang and Li Dong picked up the form from the table and held it up to see what it was all about.
They really wanted to see who dared to ask for 6 million, which was just a blatant rip-off.
When Zhang Qiang moved his gaze to the top of the form, his previously disdainful expression changed to one of surprise.
In the end, Zhang Qiang was completely convinced. Such a person is definitely worth 6 million—worth every penny.
"It seems like you weren’t lying to us, brother. A person like this is worth the price. I’m really looking forward to this collaboration now. With him on board, I believe there’s a guarantee it will go smoothly."
Seeing Zhang Qiang so assured, Li Dong was puzzled.
Although the form had all the introductions, he was too ignorant to understand any of it.
"Zhang Qiang, tell me what’s written on this form. I didn’t get an education, so I can’t read any of this."
Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes at Li Dong, regretting that he only realized the importance of education at critical times, making a fool of himself as an illiterate.
"I’ve told you many times to study more, but you never listened. Now it’s a critical moment, and look, you’re at a loss."
Zhang Qiang’s rant made Li Dong quite unhappy. He indeed hadn’t studied much, and he didn’t like studying either.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have gotten into fights and brawls in school back then.
"Stop mocking me and just tell me what’s on this paper. We’re discussing serious matters here; stop messing with me."
This time Li Dong was really anxious. Seeing this, Zhang Qiang dropped his teasing demeanor.
"What’s on the paper is the identity of this security captain. He’s the champion of Kick Boxing in America. He once received international honors and returned to do security work after retiring. He once subdued a 300-pound strongman with one hand; these feats have long been spread internationally."
Listening to what Zhang Qiang said, Li Dong was amazed. He originally thought this security captain was just a bit stronger than ordinary people, but now it seems he’s not just strong, he’s practically a legend!
"No wonder the price is so high; it seems he truly has the skills. I’m convinced. Let’s contact him quickly."
Li Dong couldn’t wait any longer. With such an expert helping them, he believed this time it would be a sure success.
Having made up their minds, Zhang Qiang and Li Dong readily transferred 2 million each to Wang Lishan.
Upon receiving the money, Wang Lishan began to contact the security captain.
This security captain definitely had an attitude; as soon as the phone connected, he impatiently said, "Which brat is bothering me again?"
Despite everything, Wang Lishan was a board member of Xu Group and the other was just a regular security captain. If it weren’t for needing his help, Wang Lishan would have long taught him a lesson.
"Captain Murong, it’s me, Wang Lishan. We worked together last time; did you forget?"
Upon hearing it was Wang Lishan, Murong Hai’s attitude immediately improved.
Wang Lishan was incredibly generous, and Murong Hai made a lot of money from him last time.
How could Murong Hai dare to offend such a cash cow!
"Oh, it’s Brother Wang. What brings you here today? What made you think of calling me?"
Feeling the change in Murong Hai’s attitude, Wang Lishan finally relaxed his stern face.
"I haven’t contacted you in a while, so I thought I’d call and see how my brother has been doing."
These were, of course, pleasantries from Wang Lishan. He and Murong Hai weren’t particularly familiar, having only collaborated once.
"It’s such an honor for Brother Wang to think of me. Thanks to you, I’ve been doing okay recently. But business has been tough; my guys haven’t had much work in a while."
Murong Hai’s implication was that he hoped Wang Lishan could introduce him to some business, as he wasn’t actually doing well lately.
Last time, Murong Hai took a job, but during the mission, he accidentally seriously injured the hostage. The employer was furious and slashed half of his original payment.
Moreover, due to this mistake, Murong Hai’s reputation in the field quickly took a hit.
For people in his line of work, reputation is more important than anything.
Since then, fewer people sought Murong Hai for help, and until now, almost no one did.
Before calling Murong Hai, Wang Lishan had already investigated and knew Murong Hai’s current situation was grim and that he desperately needed money and business.
"As it happens, the reason I’m calling is to discuss a business opportunity with you; I wonder if Brother Murong is interested."
Hearing that there was business coming his way, Murong Hai was elated.
They hadn’t had work in a long time, and this was like receiving help at the perfect time from Wang Lishan.
"Of course, I’m interested, Brother Wang. I really have to thank you. When would be a good time for us to meet and discuss?"
Murong Hai was already eager to set a meeting with Wang Lishan.
"Since Brother Murong is so eager, let’s set it for this afternoon at 3. Same place as last time; we won’t leave until we meet."
Listening to Wang Lishan, Murong Hai quickly agreed. For someone like Wang Lishan, Murong Hai couldn’t have been more accommodating.
"The time is set; I’ll go this afternoon to discuss this with him. Rest assured, once the matter is settled, I’ll call you both."
When Wang Lishan handles things, Zhang Qiang feels very assured. Previously, Wang Lishan always managed such matters.
"We trust you, brother. Once you’ve set the plan, you don’t need to inform us."
Checking the time, it was almost time for the appointment.
So Wang Lishan cheerfully bid farewell and headed to the same place as last time.
After leaving the company, Xu Ke went shopping with Xiao Keyi.
The love of beauty is something everyone has, not to mention Xiao Keyi.
While on their way out, Xiao Keyi persistently asked Xu Ke to take her shopping around the street a bit.
Since arriving in Beijing, the two of them hadn’t had a proper chance to enjoy themselves together.
