Chapter 103: An Unexpected Reunion
The next day, Xia Yu just wanted to enter the company, but found that there were many adult men waiting at the door of the company.
After the printing factory caught fire, Xia Yu instructed Yan Wenhan to issue an announcement to set up the company's security department, and someone should guard the company and the printing house 24 hours a day.
Considering the actual situation in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu's requirements are not high, as long as he is strong, innocent, and has no criminal record, he can apply.
He didn't expect a single move of security guards to make a big difference, after all, in addition to his strength, he had not received special training.
He planned to wait for Yan Shining to train them when he had time to improve their skills, which was more realistic.
In his heart, in a short period of time, the main thing for the security department is to scare people, decorate the faΓ§ade, and dispel some people's bad intentions.
Nodding to the employee in charge of reception, Xia Yu did not stop and walked towards the company with Yan Shining.
Just when Xia Yu had just taken a few steps, Yan Shining, who was following behind, looked at a person in the crowd and shouted with some confusion: "Monkey?"
Xia Yu stopped and looked back, followed Yan Shining's gaze, and saw a man with a shaved head, a resolute face, and a very strong body.
And this man seemed to hear Yan Shining's shout, looked at Yan Shining, blinked his eyes, and asked tentatively in Mandarin: "Squad leader?"
Hearing the man's words, Yan Shining showed a surprised smile: "Hou Sheng, it's really you, why are you here?"
"It's me, squad leader, why did you come to Xiangjiang too?"
Confirmed that it was his old squad leader, the man named Hou Sheng's eyes were a little red, and he ran over excitedly and hugged Yan Shining tightly, and then let go, but his eyes flickered when he looked at Yan Shining, and his excitement was revealed.
Seeing that it was really Yan Shining's acquaintance, and it seemed to be his old subordinate, Xia Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence in the world.
Nodding towards Yan Shining, Xia Yu walked directly to the company, he didn't bother Yan Shining anymore, wait for him to have a good chat with his old subordinates, and later, Yan Shining will naturally report to him.
After Xia Yu left, Yan Shining pulled Hou Sheng aside, and the company employee who was in charge of the reception just now hurriedly moved two stools for Yan Shining to sit down, after all, Yan Shining is the personal bodyguard of the boss Xia Yu, and naturally has a higher status, after all, he is a closer person to the boss.
Now the person who came to apply for the job obviously knew Yan Shining, and the attitude of the employee in charge of reception was of course even more different, and he had made up his mind in his heart that he must tell his boss the news later, and he would record this person named Hou Sheng.
......
"Squad leader, you are so powerful, why did you retire and come to Xiangjiang, did you also commit an accident?" Hou Sheng held Yan Shining's hand tightly and asked with some concern.
Hearing Hou Sheng's words, Yan Shining frowned, stared at Hou Sheng with blazing eyes, and said, "What, you escaped after committing a crime?"
Seeing Yan Shining's serious expression, the smile on Hou Sheng's face was also put away.
He didn't hide Yan Shining, sighed and said: "Five years ago, after we retired together, we once saw a group of bullies bullying women, we couldn't see it and rushed up, fought, and accidentally beat people to death. We were unwilling to be caught, so we fled all the way, and finally in order to completely escape the pursuit, we swam together to the Xiangjiang River, where we have lived for five years now. β
Hearing Hou Sheng's words, Yan Shining nodded silently, he knew what kind of person Hou Sheng was, he was a thorn, and he had a very stubborn personality, he killed the bully, and he was unwilling to arrest him if he wanted him to tie his hands, and he really did it when he escaped.
But this Yan Shining didn't want to care, although Hou Sheng broke the law, but in his opinion, the bullies who oppressed women deserved to be killed.
"Who else is here besides you?" Yan Shining asked hurriedly, he was more concerned about this question.
"There are Li Quan, Zhang Zhi, Wu Dashan and Du Ming, the five of us are here, and we happened to be drinking together when the accident happened, and we ran away together when something happened. Hou Sheng replied truthfully.
"Where are they now?" Yan Shining looked happy, a little eager to see them.
These four people are all his old subordinates, but unfortunately they are all retired.
And he entered other units, since they retired, Yan Shining has not seen them again, and it has been more than five years since the last meeting.
Now that she learned that they were in Xiangjiang, Yan Shining really wanted to see them immediately! After all, they were all brothers who were in the same trouble, and that kind of iron-clad affection could not be easily dissipated, and would only become deeper and deeper with the passage of time.
"They are still working at the docks, and now I am alone, squad leader, I will take you there, Li Quan, they have been thinking about you. Hou Sheng said, and after speaking, he stood up and wanted to take Yan Shining away.
"Wait, sit down first. Yan Shining said.
Although he really wanted to see Li Quan immediately, he did not forget his duty, now he is Xia Yu's bodyguard, protecting Xia Yu's safety is his first priority, and he can't leave directly.
Besides, Xia Yu is still waiting for him to report on Hou Sheng's situation!
"Monkey, let me ask you something first, and you have to answer me truthfully, it's very important!" Yan Shining looked at Hou Sheng tightly and said.
"Squad leader, if you have something, just ask, if I dare to say a lie, you will whip me!" Hou Sheng straightened his chest and said with a serious face.
Yan Shining smiled, eased the atmosphere a little, and said, "What have you been doing in the past five years?"
"We are uneducated, and we don't speak Cantonese when we first arrived, so we have to do hard work and move goods on the docks for five years, and I was still moving goods yesterday!" Hou Sheng replied.
"Have you joined the club?" Yan Shining asked again.
"No, how can we oppress the common people, even if we take off our military uniforms, I can't forget that I am a soldier, and the five of us have absolutely not done anything to oppress ordinary people!" Hou Sheng straightened his chest and said with a solemn face.
"But Xiangjiang is really chaotic, there are many forces on the dock, in order to protect ourselves, the five of us are in a group, and we have also recruited a group of honest and responsible men, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and after beating other clubs a few times, they won't come to provoke us. β
"That's good. Hearing Hou Sheng's words, Yan Shining breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"What are you here for now, aren't you going to move goods?" Yan Shining asked again.
"Didn't you see Jiuding Newspaper Company recruiting security guards? The salary is much higher than ours moving goods, and the work is easy, but I don't know whether it's true or not, so I sent me to try it, if it's true, Li Quan and they will also come over, after all, it's not a problem to move goods all the time." Hou Sheng said without thinking about it.
"By the way, squad leader, tell me about you, why did you come to Xiangjiang too, you didn't also commit an accident and escaped, and followed behind the person just now, who is that person?" Hou Sheng asked rhetorically, very curious.
"What do you want?" Yan Shining slapped Hou Sheng's head and scolded with a smile.
"Hehe!" Hou Sheng scratched his head and laughed a few times, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't care, after all, he was beaten by the squad leader in the army I don't know how many times, and he was used to it.
"I retired on my own initiative, my wife died of illness, and my son Yanhong was also found to be seriously ill, so I came to Xiangjiang in desperation, the person you saw just now was my boss, and he pulled me when I first came, otherwise my son is estimated to be gone. Yan Shining said slowly.
"But it's okay now, my son Yanhong is now being treated, and the condition is not bad. Speaking of this, Yan Shining smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"That's good, wait for the next time I'm going to take a look, I've seen him a few times when I was a child, I don't know if he recognizes me as an uncle now, hehe. Hou Sheng said reassuringly.
"By the way, don't you want to change jobs? That is my boss just now, Jiuding Newspaper Company is his, as long as my boss says no problem, you can come in, you go with me now, the boss is still waiting." β
After speaking, Yan Shining stood up and pulled Hou Sheng, who was stunned, to the company.
He had been observing Hou Sheng when he was answering questions, and he was very familiar with Hou Sheng, and he was sure that Hou Sheng did not tell a lie, and he also believed that Hou Sheng would not dare to lie to him, after all, if it was fake, it would always be discovered, and there was no need for this.
The question has already been asked, and Yan Shining doesn't want Xia Yu to wait too long.
As soon as he entered Xia Yu's office, Yan Shining found that the boss seemed to have been waiting for a long time, he motioned to Hou Sheng to stand up, and then walked to Xia Yu's side and began to report: "Boss, he is Hou Sheng, my old subordinate, retired five years ago, killed the bully on the mainland and then escaped, but he is very principled, he did not join the club, he has been moving goods at the dock to work as a coolie, first came to the company to apply as a security guard, the ability is definitely not bad, I can guarantee this." β
After speaking, Yan Shining glanced at Hou Sheng, who was a little stunned, and gave him a reassuring look.
It is estimated that Hou Sheng did not expect that Yan Shining would report all the information he just asked to Xia Yu.
