Chapter 138 The 138th Day of Not Running Away The First Day of Not Running Away...

The business collaboration with Boss Ye and Zhao Dan is just an idea for now, and Wen Chan doesn't plan to resolve it completely tonight.

Let alone whether the two of them were willing or not, even Wen Chan herself was unwilling.

After finishing the meal, Wen Chan went to see Liu Yan in the afternoon.

Nothing went wrong with Liu Yan's side.

Liu Yan even brewed some flower tea to serve her, and Wen Chan smiled and said, "Where did you get this flower tea? This teapot is really exquisite."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Zihan gave it to me. She's been incredibly busy lately. I heard you entrusted her with the renovation of your Shanghai house."

She poured a honey-colored glass, its fragrance wafting through the air, and handed it to Wenchan.

Wen Chan took it, thanked her, and said, "Well, I think she's quite capable, so I'll leave it to her. By the way, do you know any reliable girls here? Find me someone with some skills this time."

Liu Yan asked, "How old do you want him to be?"

Wen Chan didn't care about that at all. "Age doesn't matter. The important thing is that the family is simple, there are no complicated situations, and they won't have any crooked ideas."

She didn't want to be held hostage by her own people.

Liu Yan laughed out loud, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said, "If you put it that way, there really is a girl. Wait a minute."

She gestured to Wen Chan, then went outside for a while.

Wen Chan was curious. She took a sip of her flower tea and looked around the office. A person's living conditions can reflect their lifestyle.

Judging from the environment of this house, Liu Yan's living standards have been quite good recently. The sofa has been replaced with a genuine leather one, and there is also a large color TV.

Just as Wen Chan was pondering, Liu Yan returned, holding the hand of a chubby girl.

The girl was probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with two braids and fair skin that was rosy, like a steamed bun. When she came in and saw Wen Chan, her face immediately turned red, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Liu Yan smiled and pulled her over, saying to Wen Chan, "This is Xiao Pang, a new employee at our garment factory. Xiao Pang is a very nice person. Her father used to be in the martial arts team, and Xiao Pang knows something called 'back punch'."

"It's Tongbei Quan, Sister Yanzi."

Little Fatty said shyly.

Wen Chan laughed and said, "Really? How are your skills?"

Liu Yan said, "I can't speak for others, but Little Fatty is really good at fighting. The other day, some people tried to rob the girls from our factory on the street, and Little Fatty fought off ten of them all by himself!"

The chubby boy blushed and quickly explained, "There weren't that many. I only hit three; the rest ran away in fear."

"That's quite impressive," Wen Chan said. "What's your name?"

Little Fatty glanced at Liu Yan, who chuckled, "Do I really need to introduce you? Just tell me, what are you shy about? We're all women."

Little Fatty scratched his forehead and said shyly, "My name is Pan Meimei, you can just call me Little Fatty, that's what my family calls me."

The nickname is definitely cuter than the name.

Wen Chan nodded. "Yanzi called you over. Do you know why we're looking for you?"

Little Fatty shook his head, looking completely honest.

Wen Chan thought for a moment and said, "I need a bodyguard for close protection. Although there's no immediate danger, business people like us are prone to getting into trouble and being targeted. What I need you to do is protect me as much as possible. Of course, it's not like I'll hire you right now. There will be a three-month trial period with room and board included and a monthly salary of 1,000. If you pass the test, your monthly salary will double, and the year-end bonus will be one month's salary."

"A monthly salary of one thousand?!"

Little Fatty was stunned, staring at Wen Chan with wide, bell-like eyes. "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Liu Yan said, "She's a bigger boss than me, she's got plenty of money. Little Fatty, the path I've found for you won't cheat you. You're good at fighting, but you're really bad at operating a sewing machine and making clothes. Instead of wasting your time here, you might as well go and try working with Boss Wen."

Little Fatty hesitated, biting his lip, "Sister, Boss Wen, I need to discuss this with my dad. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"

Wen Chan nodded. "Alright, we should discuss it. After all, this matter is somewhat dangerous."

Little Fatty gave Wen Chan a simple, honest smile, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and then went out.

Wen Chan looked at Liu Yan and said, "This child has a good temperament; no wonder you recommended her."

Liu Yan almost burst out laughing: "A child? She's six or seven years older than you."

Wen Chan took a sip of her flower tea. "So what if she's six or seven years older? I can tell from Xiao Pang's appearance that she grew up under her parents' protection. She probably hasn't encountered any setbacks in society or seen any darkness."

Liu Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true. She's so old, and her parents brought her here on her first day of work. But I suddenly feel that her personality might not be suitable for being a bodyguard."

"Let's just get started." Wen Chan was optimistic. There aren't that many perfect candidates. If we're looking for someone temporarily, it's already good enough to find someone trustworthy like this.

Wen Chan sat with Liu Yan for the whole afternoon, and while she was at it, she looked at last month's accounts and mentioned to Liu Yan the matter of cooperating with Zhao Dan and his wife.

Liu Yan was also interested in clothing specialty stores. She wasn't in a hurry to start one, but she wanted to see how it would go.

The next day, Wen Chan went to the construction site with Chen Bozheng again. However, this time, they were not there to work. Chen Bozheng stopped by to pick up some things. The real important thing was that Wen Chan needed to rent a hotel room in the Beijing Hotel to serve as a temporary office for the investment company.

“I contacted that hotel yesterday, and they have a presidential suite available.” Chen Bozheng explained to Wen Chan as he walked after parking the car. “I’ll have the manager reserve it for you, but they have big requirements and require a minimum six-month lease.”

"Six months is fine too," Wen Chan said. "Anyway, the company will reimburse it, and we can use this money for a tax refund later. By the way, are you still using that room?"

Chen Bozheng smiled and asked, "What, does Miss Wen have any instructions?"

Wen Chan smiled and said, "It's not really an instruction. I'm just planning to hire some people and borrow your space and staff. I can't handle the recruitment all by myself."

Just as Chen Bo was about to speak, he suddenly heard a gunshot from the neighboring community.

The sound was loud; even though it was brief, it was enough to startle someone.

Chen Bozheng and Wen Chan were both startled. People in the sales office rushed out, peeking out and asking, "What happened?"

Chen Bo and Wen Chan exchanged a glance. Wen Chan said, "It sounds like the noise from that neighborhood over there?"

"That neighborhood over there?" Lin Ting exclaimed as she ran out. "What are we going to do? Hua Ge and the others just went over there to watch the commotion!"

ah?

Chen Bo's expression turned serious, and he immediately said to Lin Ting, "You guys call the police right away, I'll go take a look."

Wen Chan said, "I'll go with you."

Chen Bo glanced at Wen Chan and, seeing the determination in her eyes, knew he couldn't persuade her. He told her to hide behind him later.

The Jingyang residential area is in complete chaos.

When Chen Bozheng and his companion arrived, they saw the homeowners who had come to defend their rights scattered like headless flies, including Lin Dayong.

He grabbed Lin Dayong and asked, "What happened?"

Just as Lin Dayong was about to push away the person pulling him, he saw it was him and quickly pointed ahead and said, "Hu Cheng and Manager Liu just got into a fight. Hu Cheng pulled out a gun from somewhere and shot Manager Liu!"

Wen Chan and Chen Bo were looking in the direction Lin Dayong was pointing when they saw Hu Cheng staring blankly at Manager Liu, who was lying on the ground bleeding profusely.

The ground was littered with documents and stamps.

Police cars came speeding by with sirens blaring.

That evening, everyone had dinner at Chen Bozheng's house and learned the whole story.

Hu Cheng secretly went back to the community last night to get the company seal, only to find that Manager Liu had already taken it. Manager Liu had arranged to meet him at the community this morning to negotiate, intending to use the company seal to blackmail Hu Cheng into giving him a share of the money.

If they don't agree, I'll tell the old folks and reporters outside that Hu Cheng is trying to embezzle all the company's money and run away.

Hu Cheng was recently quite provoked. That Manager Liu was greedy; the company still had one million in its account, but he took eight hundred thousand in one go, leaving only two hundred thousand for Hu Cheng.

If Hu Cheng could swallow his anger, that would definitely not be in his nature.

Besides, Hu Cheng has had too many good days and has long forgotten who he is; how could he possibly agree to 200,000?

The two started arguing, and then trouble broke out. Manager Liu ran out and tried to show the documents and company seal to everyone, and Hu Cheng opened fire.

"How many years will he get for assault with a weapon?" Wang Jianquan sighed. "Hu Cheng was a big boss just a few months ago. Who would have thought he'd be in jail now?"

"Manager Liu was lucky; he was hit in the right leg but didn't die. However, it was still intentional assault, and he should serve at least ten years in prison."

Chen Bozheng said, "Not only that, Lin Dayong exposed the fact that he used substandard materials at his construction site. I heard that the steel bars and cement he used were not up to standard. He's in big trouble now."

Liang Wenxuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"What about the other residential area? Can it still be built?"

Chen Bo was looking at Hua Lingfeng, who was eating pig's ear. He was taken aback by the question and swallowed the pig's ear in his mouth before saying, "It depends on the situation. However, if the project is abandoned now, the homeowners will definitely cause trouble, and the Housing Construction Bureau certainly can't ignore it."

Hua Lingfeng was right.

Originally, commercial housing was a new experiment in China, and no one expected that Hu Cheng would cause so much trouble. The boss injured someone and went to jail, the cash flow was cut off, and migrant workers and suppliers were owed money.

The homeowners have paid the money, but there's still no news about the houses, and everyone is panicking.

A house costs a lot of money; it represents the hard-earned money of each family.

Then, Section Chief Cai, who had helped them before, came to their door with a friendly smile: "General Manager Chen, General Manager Hua."

Chen Bozheng and the others busied themselves greeting him, "Section Chief Cai, what brings you here?"

Section Chief Cai didn't come empty-handed; he actually brought a fruit basket.

Hua Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you here for a medical checkup or something?"

"Xiao Hua, stop being so cheeky." Wang Jianquan scolded Hua Lingfeng, then said to Section Chief Cai, "My brother likes to joke, don't take it to heart."

Section Chief Cai waved his hand and said amicably, "How could that be? We're all friends, this is how we talk. I didn't come here without a reason."
