Chapter 310: Chapter 0309: Tang Ning in Trouble (Five Updates)_1
In the following days, Ye Xiong and He Mengji were devoted to developing the Hunter Bodyguard Company, vigorously recruiting experts, establishing regulations, and gradually getting the organization on the right track.
To establish an organization naturally meant to expand it, letting more people know about it, and then taking on bodyguard missions.
Otherwise, such a large organization, with dozens of highly paid experts, would only end up sitting idle.
Through the internet, headhunting firms, personal connections, and various other forms of advertising, He Mengji did her best to promote it broadly.
On the third day after the company was established, they received a bodyguard mission.
After analyzing the difficulty of the task and the payment, He Mengji sent someone she had personally trained before.
Within the core members of the organization, as He Mengji said, they wouldn’t lift a finger for less than a million in salary.
“How much is the salary for the missions I undertake?”
Ye Xiong sat in the boss’s office of the bodyguard company, with his legs crossed, asking the beside him He Mengji.
“The minimum starting point is ten million, and that’s not even a guarantee to accept,” He Mengji replied.
Damn, that’s high!
Ye Xiong’s eyes nearly popped out; he hadn’t expected bodyguarding to be so lucrative.
Previously worried about the company’s revenues not covering the expenditures and possibly going bankrupt, he now wished he had started the company sooner.
“Is ten million a lot?”
He Mengji gave him a look and continued, “Two days earlier, a royal princess from Europe called me, wanting a top-tier bodyguard for a month for thirty million. I refused.”
“Why the hell not?” Ye Xiong almost died of frustration—that was a huge sum of money!
“There are two reasons. First, I’ve seen photos of the royal princess; she’s somewhat attractive, and I was afraid that before the assassin could get to her, you would. Second, the period of the assignment is too long, a whole month, and you can’t be away from the organization for that long,” He Mengji explained earnestly.
Ye Xiong agreed with the second reason, but what was up with the first one?
As a bodyguard, he would definitely maintain professional ethics; how could he possibly develop any sort of relationship with that royal princess.
If both parties consented, though, that was a different matter.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xiong noticed He Mengji’s face showing a weary expression and felt a bit distressed, “If there’s nothing important, go to bed early and don’t stay up too much. I’ll be upset if you get too thin.”
“I was pretty tired, but after hearing what you just said, I don’t feel tired anymore because I feel like vomiting,” He Mengji gave him a look before she picked up the folder and left the office.
Once she had left the office, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh.
He really felt distressed!
It could be said that without He Mengji, he would accomplish nothing. Even setting up the Hunter Bodyguard Company wouldn’t have caught his interest, let alone advertising and earning money.
He Mengji had worked with a mercenary group in the Middle East; mercenaries are all about making money, and having done it for so long, she must have her network and be able to secure many orders to ensure the smooth development of the company.
If Phoenix was his left arm, then He Mengji was definitely his right arm.
Ye Xiong reclined in his chair, thinking about the events of the recent days.
Since Long Tianya pulled a vanishing act at the military medical department over half a month ago, Ye Xiong had been on edge every day, fearing Long Tianya might send someone to seek revenge and had prepared for combat.
Unfortunately, it was as if Long Tianya had evaporated from the earth, disappearing from sight.
Not just Long Tianya, but other members of the Beast Organization had vanished as well, some individuals under Dragon Group’s surveillance, who were possibly from the Beast Organization, also disappeared overnight.
Long Zaitian made a call saying that Long Tianya was likely plotting something big.
This feeling was like the calm before a storm.
Ye Xiong was deep in thought when the phone rang; it was a call from Yang Xiaoqiao.
What’s this girl calling me for, could it be that she found a job and is now ready to offer herself?
He picked up the phone and asked with a smile, “Xiao Qiao, did you find a job?”
“I’ve checked out a few, didn’t like any of them; the ones I like, I can’t get into,” Yang Xiaoqiao replied.
“Take it slow, no rush.”
With Ye Xiong’s capabilities, helping her find a job would be too easy, but knowing her personality, he dared not help, afraid that she wouldn’t like it.
“There’s something, I want to talk to you about, Tang Ning… I’m afraid something might happen to her,” Yang Xiaoqiao hesitated before speaking.
“What could happen?” Ye Xiong frowned.
Ever since their last argument, she had moved back to the university dorm.
Ye Xiong had been busy running around and had forgotten about her entirely, it was only when he returned home at night, to find the house quiet and empty, that he would remember this troublemaker.
“Is she stirring up trouble at the university again?” Ye Xiong hurriedly asked.
“Recently, a wealthy scion took a fancy to her and has been sticking to her every day. She initially didn’t agree, but today, for some reason, she agreed to go with another female student to the wealthy scion’s villa to party. I heard… their parties are swimwear parties, and I’m worried she’ll be taken advantage of, so I called to tell you.”
Half an hour later, Ye Xiong drove up to the university’s entrance, where Yang Xiaoqiao was already waiting.
“Get in.”
After Yang Xiaoqiao got in, Ye Xiong asked, “Are you hungry?”
Knowing he was concerned about Tang Ning, Yang Xiaoqiao was indeed a bit hungry, but she still shook her head.
It was already dinner time, and he didn’t know how long it would be before they could eat, so Ye Xiong parked the car by the roadside, quickly got out, and came back with bread and milk.
He bought a whole bagful.
“I didn’t know what you like, so I got a bit of everything. Have something to fill your stomach for now.”
Yang Xiaoqiao nodded, then picked up a cream bread and began to nibble on it.
She hadn’t expected this guy to be so considerate, even caring whether she was hungry at this moment.
“How has Tang Ning been doing at the university lately?” Ye Xiong asked while driving.
“I rarely see her, but I’ve seen her alone at the cafeteria a couple of times. She looks rather lonely and seems to have quieted down a lot,” Yang Xiaoqiao thought for a moment, then asked, “Did something happen between you two? She used to live with you, didn’t she? Why did she suddenly move back to the university dorms?”
Ye Xiong wasn’t sure how to explain; he just felt that this argument seemed to have greatly affected Tang Ning.
In his mind, he remembered the night he and Yang Xinyi had been perfectly intimate.
Yang Xinyi had forgotten to lock her room door, and at that moment, he thought he saw the door move a bit. He didn’t know if Tang Ning had accidentally seen them in the act.
His mind was a mess, and he forgot to reply to Yang Xiaoqiao.
Yang Xiaoqiao thought he didn’t want to talk and didn’t pursue it further.
Following Yang Xiaoqiao’s directions, they quickly stopped in front of a villa by the seaside.
“The guy chasing Tang Ning is a second-generation government official named Li Tianle. Every weekend, Li Tianle likes to gather a bunch of fair-weather friends at his seaside house for swimwear parties. They swim at the seaside in the afternoon and party in the villa at night wearing only swimwear. They usually bring some newly-met girls over; firstly, to show off their wealth and secondly, to be generous, all to win over the girls. This tactic is overused in the circle of wealthy heirs, but it’s undeniable that many fall for it. There are at least twenty girls from Jiangnan University alone who have been seduced into bed by Li Tianle with this method,” Yang Xiaoqiao explained.
“They’re all a bunch of trash.”
As Ye Xiong cursed, he got out of the car and strode towards the villa.
