"Sir, what can I do for you?" The receptionist said to me with a smile.
"Well... Is Chen Jundong, the manager of your company here?" I asked.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked with a smile.
"He asked me to come to him. I have his business card here." I handed the business card to the receptionist.
The receptionist took the business card, looked at it, and returned it to me, saying, "Please wait a moment. I will call Manager Chen for instructions." Then she picked up the phone at the front desk and dialed an internal number.
"Hello... Manager Chen, this is Xiao Zhang. There is a gentleman here who has your business card and wants to see you..." After that, the receptionist raised her head and said to me, "What is your name, sir?"
"Just tell him that it is the man in Lanshengxi Bar yesterday." I thought about it and said.
"Manager Chen, he said he was the man in Lanshengxi Bar yesterday... Okay, I got it." The receptionist hung up the phone and said to me, "Sir, Manager Chen invites you over. Manager Chen's office is on the second floor. Please go upstairs from here, and then turn left to the second room, which is the business department."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you." I said with a smile.
"You're welcome." The receptionist said naturally.
I found a door with a sign "Business Department Manager's Office" according to the location the receptionist said. I knocked on the door and heard someone say, "Come in."
I opened the door and saw Chen Jundong, the man in a black suit who I met in the bar yesterday. At this moment, he was sitting in a boss chair, reading a newspaper leisurely, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table.
"How are you thinking about it? Do you have any intention of joining our company?" Chen Jundong put down the newspaper in his hand and said to me kindly.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely for me to join your company for the time being. The main purpose of my coming here this time is to select a few bodyguards for myself." I shrugged and spread my hands.
"Oh? Hire bodyguards for yourself?" Chen Jundong was stunned, and looked at me carefully for a long time, and then he realized that he had made a mistake. Although the clothes on this young man are all casual clothes, they are obviously expensive brand goods! The light in the bar was too dim yesterday, and I didn't look carefully, but I still wanted to win him over to my company! This young man is obviously a rich young man, and Chen Jundong couldn't help but feel ashamed of what he said. I said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I actually thought you were looking for a job... But brother, this is really unkind of you. You told me yesterday that you were unemployed and that it was hard to find a job now... Oh, no, I misunderstood!"
"It doesn't matter." I smiled and said, "But to be honest with you, Manager Chen, I really don't have a job. I'm just a student."
Chen Jundong was secretly shocked. It seemed that this young man must be from a wealthy family, otherwise how could a student hire a bodyguard! But what surprised him was that with this young man's skills, did he still need to find a bodyguard? So I told him my doubts: "Do you still need to hire a bodyguard? With your skills, I'm afraid there are few people in my security company who can match you."
"Haha, whether I can fight or not is different from whether I have a bodyguard! In fact, I don't like fighting, but sometimes I have no choice. If I have a bodyguard, there are many trivial things, such as the incident in the bar yesterday, I don't need to do it myself." I shook my head and explained.
"Oh, so that's it!" Chen Jundong suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand!"
Chen Jundong stood up, moved a chair for me, and then made me a cup of hot tea in a disposable plastic cup.
"What's your name, brother?" Chen Jundong opened a customer's information registration book and asked me.
"My last name is... Liu, Liu Lei." I hesitated and said my real name. There is nothing to hide. My public identity is just a high school student.
"So it's Mr. Liu. I wonder what kind of bodyguard Mr. Liu wants to hire?" Chen Jundong asked while writing on the notebook.
"What level of bodyguards do you have here?" I asked after taking a sip of hot tea. The tea tastes really good. I saw three boxes of tea on Chen Jundong's tea cabinet just now. The one he brewed for me was the best and most exquisite pre-rain Longjing tea on the left. The other two boxes were Tieguanyin and miscellaneous tea. I think this must be prepared by Chen Jundong to receive customers of different identities. If I said I was looking for a job just now, he might have brewed miscellaneous tea for me at this moment.
"We provide two types of bodyguards here: company security and private security. Mr. Liu, you are looking for private security. Our ordinary bodyguards can basically meet the personal safety of ordinary people. For example, if you encounter robbers or hooligans, they can be easily solved. But if you encounter professional thugs or more ruthless characters, you can't do anything. In this case, you need our company's high-level personal bodyguards. These bodyguards are retired from special forces or underground boxing markets. They have rich fighting and fighting experience and are relatively strong in on-the-spot adaptability. But the commission of this kind of bodyguard is also very high!" Chen Jundong explained very professionally.
"Oh? Are the high-level bodyguards you are talking about really powerful?" I asked in disbelief. Because at the private cocktail party held by Shuguang Group, Su Yingzi's two bodyguards were simply idiots!
"Of course! Otherwise, it would be unworthy of their price! The purpose of our company is to make every customer feel that they are getting value for money!" Chen Jundong said with a smile.
"Manager Chen, please introduce the price." I said. "The commission for the highest-level personal bodyguard here is 100,000 yuan. The commission for lower-level ones ranges from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. Mr. Liu, do you have any requirements?" Chen Jundong handed me a brief introduction similar to a price list.
I took the price list and put it on the table without looking at it, and said: "As long as someone can survive three moves under my hands, I will pay him the highest commission. I want as many people as I can."
After hearing this, Chen Jundong was stunned and looked at me in disbelief. In his opinion, although I am good at fighting, this boast is a bit too outrageous! Even if he is good at fighting, there must be many high-level personal bodyguards in his company who can survive three moves from him. If not a hundred, there must be eighty. Is it really like he said, as many people as he can? That would be several million a month!
"Why, Director Chen, are you not interested in my business or do you doubt my ability?" I saw what Chen Jundong was thinking, so I asked.
"That's not the case, it's just that Mr. Liu's request is too weird. There are many excellent bodyguards in our company, could it be..." Chen Jundong hesitated and asked.
"Since there is no doubt, I would like to ask Manager Chen to arrange it immediately. I keep my word. As long as anyone has been under my hands for three moves, I will hire him with a high salary!" I said without doubt.
"Since Mr. Liu insists so much, then Chen has no choice but to obey your order. However, according to the rules of our company, a 10% deposit must be paid in advance." Chen Jundong said with some embarrassment. After all, the practice of prepaying a deposit is considered by many rich people as a lack of trust in people, but under the company's regulations, it has to be proposed.
"It doesn't matter." I waved my hand and said, "Manager Chen, you are also working for the company, I understand!" After that, I took out a checkbook from my pocket, signed a check for 50,000 yuan and handed it over.
When Chen Jundong saw me take out the checkbook, he was a little stunned. It's not very popular to sign checks these days, and even fewer children go out to sign checks! Chen Jundong saw what it means to be young and rich today. The original 10% deposit was paid directly to you by 50%! Dealing with such a straightforward person, Chen Jundong also felt very comfortable, and unconsciously, his attitude became much friendlier.
"Please wait a moment, I will call to verify." Chen Jundong said, spreading his hands, showing a helpless expression and said: "No way, it's the company's rules."
I smiled and expressed my understanding. This is understandable. Although Chen Jundong is the head of a department of this company and has considerable power, he is just working for others after all, and his own words don't count. Moreover, why would people believe me, a person they have only met twice? To be honest, I like Chen Jundong's style of doing things. He clearly distinguishes between public and private, is not impulsive, and does things in a logical way. People can't find fault with him. He is definitely a good business hand! I don't know how much money this security company spent to dig up this talent. There will be a chance to get him to Shuguang Group in the future. I thought evilly.
A few minutes later, Chen Jundong had confirmed the authenticity of the check from the bank and said to me happily: "Mr. Liu, you have been waiting for a long time. I will now go to gather the bodyguards in the company who have no personality to the martial arts training ground to accept your assessment!"
