"As for my situation, an annual sry of five hundred thousand would do," Jiang Zhiyong pondered before giving a figure.


    This was a level he deduced based on his own abilities and the sries offered by securitypanies to their executives.


    "I think you''re asking for too little. I''ll offer you an annual sry of one million,plete with five insurances and one fund, plus various bonuses," Xu Yang suggested.


    Xu Yang felt that talents like Jiang Zhiyong were hard toe by and was willing to spend a lot to hire him.


    One million a year to recruit such a person was really worth it for him.


    "One million, boss, isn''t that a bit much?" Jiang Zhiyong was surprised; he hadn''t expected Xu Yang to voluntarily raise the sry, and to double it at that.


    "I would be very happy if you could ept, and I really think you''re worth the price," Xu Yang sincerely said.


    "Alright, thank you, boss," Jiang Zhiyong was not coquettish, and he didn''t refuse.


    "Okay then. Come to thepany at ten o''clock tomorrow morning. I''ll have someone handle your employment procedures. Let''s leave our phone numbers and add each other on WeChat. I''ll send you thepany''s addresster."


    Xu Yang took out his phone, added WeChat, exchanged phone numbers, and sent Yang Xin Investment''s address to Jiang Zhiyong.


    Hiring Jiang Zhiyong made Xu Yang very happy.


    He hoped to sign the employment contract as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected changes.


    "Alright, I''ll be at thepany at ten tomorrow," Jiang Zhiyong said.


    Finding a job with an annual sry of a million, Jiang Zhiyong was also very pleased. Thank you for reading on m v le_mpyr


    After confirming the employment rtionship, the two became even closer.


    Then, they chatted quite a bit, mainly with Xu Yang inquiring about Jiang Zhiyong''s experiences as a mercenary.


    He was quite curious about it.


    After all, for ordinary people, mercenaries are shrouded in a veil of mystery.


    Jiang Zhiyong shared some details about his missions, but nothing too specific.


    In Jiang Zhiyong''s words, being a mercenary was simply about saving people and killing people.


    Despite that, Xu Yang was still amazed to hear about the things Jiang Zhiyong had done.


    The two ate barbecue until after eleven o''clock.


    Xu Yang called for a designated driver, first dropping off Jiang Zhiyong and then himself.


    When he got home, it was already midnight.


    Zhao Yuxin had already gone to bed.


    After taking a shower, Xu Yangy down in bed and went to sleep.


    The next day.


    During breakfast.


    Zhao Yuxin asked, "Husband, when did you get backst night? Exactly what happenedst night?"


    Last night, after she had returned from a dinner with colleagues, it was already past nine o''clock, and Xu Yang hadn''te back yet, so she called him.


    Xu Yang had said he had some matters to attend to and would bete. He didn''t specify what it was.


    He just told her not to wait for him and to go to sleep earlier.


    When she went to bed at eleven o''clock, she sent Xu Yang a message and then fell asleep.


    "I got home after midnight. Last night''s experience was indeed somewhat dangerous, but the end result was good," Xu Yang told her.


    "What exactly happened? Tell me about it," Zhao Yuxin pressed on.


    "I had dinner with Zhang Songxuan, the owner of Yonghui Supermarket..." Xu Yang recounted what had happened.


    He told her everything from having dinner with Yonghui Supermarket''s owner Zhang Songxuan, the cooperation they discussed during the meal, the encounter with thugs on the way home, how the designated driver dealt with the thugs, the visit to the police station to give a statement, then inviting the driver for barbecue, and finally hiring the driver as a bodyguard.


    There was nothing he needed to hide about these events.


    "I hadn''t expected you to experience so muchst night," Zhao Yuxin was taken aback.


    Hearing that Xu Yang had encountered thugs, she panicked and looked worried. But upon learning that the driver was a former special forces and mercenary who had saved Xu Yang, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    Later, when she heard that Xu Yang had hired the driver, she felt Xu Yang had made the right decision.


    Xu Yang was now a billionaire; it was necessary to have a bodyguard.


    After breakfast, they both went to work.


    At ten o''clock, Jiang Zhiyong arrived at Yang Xin Investment, with the Human Resources department processing his paperwork.


    After the formalities werepleted, Xu Yang took Jiang Zhiyong around to get familiar with thepany.


    He especially introduced Jiang Zhiyong to the general manager, Ma Yangrong.


    Furthermore, he discussed with Jiang Zhiyong the idea of establishing a securitypany.


    This idea had arisen in Xu Yang''s mind on his way in that day.


    It wasn''t prompted by any system notification; it was his personal idea.


    He felt that letting Jiang Zhiyong set up a securitypany shouldn''t be a problem.


    There would be many situations where a securitypany would be useful.


    For example, whenever hispany organized an event, it would need security personnel.


    If there was an emergency situation at thepany that needed to be dealt with urgently, having his own securitypany could ensure the fastest response and control over the matter.


    As he was investing in and bing a shareholder of more and morepanies, thosepanies would also need security services.


    As long as themunication was clear, there should be no problem, and there was no fear ofcking business.


    Jiang Zhiyong was a top-quality individual with special forces and mercenary experience; Xu Yang believed Jiang Zhiyong could certainly build a top-notch securitypany.


    Jiang Zhiyong was also very interested in establishing a securitypany.


    After all, Xu Yang had said that as Xu Yang''s bodyguard, he didn''t need to follow him all the time, just when necessary.


    At other times, he could stay at thepany, where he would certainly have a lot of free time.


    By establishing a securitypany, he could teach what he knew to others.


    After chatting for a while, Xu Yang let Jiang Zhiyong start working on this project.


    Xu Yang tasked Jiang Zhiyong with handling the registration, finding an office location, and the like.


    Of course, Xu Yang assigned someone knowledgeable to assist Jiang Zhiyong.


    As for funding, whatever was needed would be provided.


    After an extensive conversation, by noon, the two had lunch together, and then Jiang Zhiyong headed back home.


    Today was forpleting the onboarding process, and he would officially start work the next day.


    Heading back today would give him a good chance to think about various aspects of establishing the securitypany and get ready to start the next day on preparations for its foundation.


    In the afternoon, Xu Yang remembered about the acquisition of Shengda Literature and went to Ma Yangrong''s office to inquire, "Old Ma, have you been in touch with Shengda Literature? What did they say? Have they scheduled a meeting time?"


    Ma Yangrong replied, "President Xu, I''ve contacted them, expressed our intention to acquire, and have expressed our hope to arrange a meeting for discussion soon, but they said they need to discuss it internally first and will notify me once they have made a decision."


    "I see," Xu Yang said, "Well, let me know immediately once there''s any news."


    Subsequently, Xu Yang had Ma Yangrong report the status of variouspanies.


    Firstly, those that Xu Yang held absolute control over.


    Fengcai Guild had be Douyin''s number one guild, and it seemed unlikely that anyone would challenge its status in theing years.


    Jiang Bottom Fishing''s expansion into second-tier cities was progressing methodically.


    Pioneer Intellectual Property Company was another sess that made many envious.


    Yang Xin Gaming Company was fullymitted to the development of "Overlord."


    That game was expected to go live next year.


    Next were thepanies in which he was a shareholder through investment.


    Great White Shark Gaming Company''s "Shadow Pursuit" was set tounch in a week.


    Hui''an Pharmaceuticals, Wan Da Film and Television, Qianjiao Company, Meiyi Group — the development of thesepanies was exceedingly good.


    One could say the situation was very promising.


    Ma Yangrong had profound respect for Xu Yang, his boss.


    Xu Yang, a self-made man, had reached such heights in less than a year; truly astonishing.


    It was no wonder that even the richest man, Wang, held the boss in such high regard, personally visiting thepany.


    Xu Yang was the kind of person who, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was bound to reach the pinnacle of the world someday.
