Chapter 216: Chapter 214: This Will Get You Fined

Fang Chenyi hadn’t expected so many security guards to show up at once.

Seeing each of them holding a rubber baton, Fang Chenyi was left a little speechless.

’Two fists are no match for four hands, and besides, these are my own security guards. I can’t get rough with them. If we really start fighting, I’m bound to take a few hits.’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi suddenly let out a laugh, nodded at the crowd, and said:

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all. Your response was timely. Later, everyone can collect a one-thousand-yuan bonus. Oh, right. What are your names, you two? You can each get an extra thousand."

Hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot. ’He talks like he’s our boss,’ they thought, ’but he won’t even take a look at himself. A tank top, baggy shorts, and a pair of flip-flops...’

"Listen, kid, you can stop worrying about bonuses. What you need to do right now is take out that bag from before and let us inspect it. If you haven’t stolen anything, we’ll let you go!"

One of the first two security guards was the first to speak.

Fang Chenyi was amused by this and pointed a finger at the guard:

"Heh, you’re a stubborn one, kid. Didn’t you see me fold up the bag? If there was something inside, how could I have folded it?"

The young guard glanced at the bag in Fang Chenyi’s hand. He clearly thought Fang Chenyi had a point, but his sense of duty still compelled him to refuse:

"No. You must open it for our inspection. If there’s nothing inside, we won’t give you a hard time!"

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Fang Chenyi resignedly pulled out his phone, found Wei Yilong’s number, and dialed.

"Hey, where on earth did you find this batch of security guards? I’m over at Workshop 11. If you don’t get here soon, there might not be anyone to give you that two hundred million you’re after~"

Hearing Fang Chenyi on the phone, none of the surrounding guards said a word.

After about two minutes, a figure in a white hard hat came rushing over frantically on an electric scooter.

When the guards saw the newcomer, they all stood at attention, parting to form a path.

The two guards at the front immediately snapped to attention and shouted, "General Manager, sir!" Then, one pointed at Fang Chenyi in the middle of the group and continued:

"General Manager, we found a suspected thief during our patrol!"

While kicking down the scooter’s kickstand, he shot an irritated glare at the guard who had spoken. He then turned to Fang Chenyi with a look of utter resignation and grumbled:

"Oh, Chairman~ I’m in the middle of something urgent here~ How on earth did you end up being treated like a thief..."

The moment he said that, the surrounding guards froze, then stood there completely dumbfounded. They stared at the young man in the tank top and baggy shorts, unable to process that this was their chairman. The boss of their boss’s boss’s boss!

Fang Chenyi gave Wei Yilong a light rap on the head. "What nonsense are you spouting? I just saw some scraps on the ground and thought it’d be a waste, so I figured I’d pick them up to sell for cash. Who knew they’d mistake me for a thief~"

PFFT~

The surrounding guards nearly coughed up a lung. ’Seriously? The big boss, who spent hundreds of millions to build a factory, is picking up waste cardboard to sell for money? Who would believe that?!’

Wei Yilong, however, was a different story. He had known since he first met Fang Chenyi that this mega-tycoon had an eccentric hobby of collecting scraps, so he was no longer surprised by it.

He waved his hand, then turned his gaze back to the two security guards who had confronted him earlier and spoke:

"What are your names? You can tell me now, right?"

Hearing this, the two men immediately snapped to attention.

"Reporting to the Chairman, I’m Qi Xiaotian!"

"Reporting to the Chairman, I’m Liu Yishou!"

As they finished, Wei Yilong, standing beside them, began to explain:

"Chairman, these two, plus the other three over there, all just retired from the special forces this year. Because our company is an enterprise that benefits the nation and its people, the higher-ups arranged for them to be placed with us."

Fang Chenyi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Wei Yilong and said:

"Excellent. They all performed very well. I just said I’d give them a bonus, so let’s do this: add an extra two thousand yuan to everyone’s bonus this month. As for Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou, you two and the other three with you, go pack your things."

At these words, the expressions of Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou turned grim. Qi Xiaotian, in particular, took a step forward and declared loudly:

"Reporting to the Chairman! What happened just now was our responsibility; it has nothing to do with the others. If you’re going to fire someone, please just fire the two of us!"

Turning to face Qi Xiaotian with a beaming smile, Fang Chenyi’s eyes filled with unmistakable admiration. He nodded with great interest and said to him:

"Heh, who said I was firing you? Go pack your things. You’ll be leaving with me. From now on, you’ll be in charge of security at my home!"

He’d had this idea ever since their initial confrontation. Never mind his family’s safety; the antiques in his villa alone, worth billions, needed someone to stand guard.

Fang Chenyi had originally planned to ask that old man he’d borrowed a plane from to recommend some retired soldiers for security. But today, he’d stumbled upon Qi Xiaotian and his men, and this brief contact was enough to show that they were men of excellent character.

But when he finished speaking, Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou exchanged a look, and they could see the disappointment in each other’s eyes. They had once been ’Hunters’ in the forest; being transferred here as security guards was already depressing enough. Now, hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, that he wanted them to guard his house, made them feel even more lost about the future.

Seeing their expressions, Wei Yilong, who was standing nearby, instantly figured out what was on the two straightforward men’s minds. He cleared his throat and said to them:

"What are you waiting for? Go pack your things! I’m telling you, following Brother Fang is a golden opportunity for you. I won’t say more; you’ll understand in the future."

Now that their boss had spoken, they couldn’t refuse even if they wanted to. They all acknowledged the order and turned to pack their bags.

Ten minutes later, the five men stood before Fang Chenyi, each carrying a large backpack.

Looking at the five men’s crisp and efficient bearing, Fang Chenyi was truly satisfied.

He nodded and gave a grand wave of his hand. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Load up!"

The next moment, in a perfectly synchronized motion, all five men swiftly hopped onto the running boards on either side of Wei Yilong’s Raptor truck.

Fang Chenyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight. ’Their movements are just like those special forces soldiers you see on TV,’ he thought, ’but I really want to tell them that we’ll get ticketed by the traffic police for driving around like this...’
