Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Is it not?
Zhao Ge was hired just like that, still feeling the whole thing was unreal.
You have to know, during his previous job interviews, as soon as he mentioned that he had killed people, those companies wouldn't wait for him to say anything else and would ask him to leave.
But today, the situation took a complete turnaround.
When he said that he had killed people, this man, without any hesitation, hired him on the spot.
It was truly fantastical.
Li Xiaoyao had his reasons. First, this man was a retired special forces soldier, a background that was absolutely rare.
Secondly, there was nothing wrong with this man's character, since he knew how to exploit military loopholes to kill, it showed he was a smart person.
Lastly, he didn't hide the fact that he had killed, indicating he was an honest man.
Taking all this into account, Li Xiaoyao felt if he didn't hire him, it would be a true waste of talent.
"Our company is still in need of many security staff, and compared to others, the treatment for security can be considered white-collar. If you have friends who are unemployed, feel free to refer them," Li Xiaoyao said.
Zhao Ge nodded, saying, "I have some comrades who have been unable to find jobs since they were discharged."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up; Zhao Ge's comrades might not be special forces, but they definitely wouldn't be weak. If he could recruit a group of formidable veterans, Li Xiaoyao felt that even paying them a higher salary wouldn't be a problem.
"That would be great, where are your comrades now?"
Zhao Ge said, "Because they can't find jobs, they all went back home."
Li Xiaoyao said, "As long as their characters are good, I'll take as many as you bring, starting salary three thousand five, with a full attendance bonus every month."
Zhao Ge nodded, with a hint of excitement on his face, saying, "Okay, I'll contact them as soon as I get back."
Li Xiaoyao checked the time, which was about right, and said, "We can do the entry procedures tomorrow, let's go eat first, my treat."
Zhao Ge, not a man of many words, understood human relationships, and immediately upon hearing Li Xiaoyao's invitation to dine, he said, "No, Director Li, I should treat you today."
Li Xiaoyao laughed heartily, stood up and patted his shoulder, saying, "You coming to work takes a load off me, there's no way I can let you pay for the meal, alright, let's go."
The two left the office and made their way to the elevator. When they stepped out of the building, the company's girls all turned to stare at him, even Zhao Ge drew their attention.
Zhao Ge probably had never been looked at by so many women with such naked gazes before; he felt utterly uncomfortable all over.
Li Xiaoyao, with his thick skin, naturally didn't feel uncomfortable. He even lent a hand to a few girls who pretended to fall in front of him, taking the opportunity to cop a feel of their chests or backsides.
Finally, they reached the ground floor, and Zhao Ge let out a quiet sigh of relief. Being surrounded by so many beauties had been truly uncomfortable for him.
Li Xiaoyao was about to take Zhao Ge to a five-star hotel for a meal when his phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Zhang Meng.
"Hello, Xiaoyao brother, where are you?" Zhang Meng asked.
Li Xiaoyao answered, "What's up?"
Zhang Meng said, "Director Lan's driver had a car accident, he is in the hospital, and the car is sent for repairs. Director Lan asked specifically for you to drive her home."
"You want me to give a lift? There are so many people in the security department, just call any of them, right? I don't have time," Li Xiaoyao flatly refused, joking aside, his time was too precious, plus, it was already after work hours.
Zhang Meng was in a tight spot and sounded a bit urgent as she said, "Xiaoyao Brother, Director Lan specifically named you to do it. If you don't come, Director Lan will blame me, definitely dock my pay, and might even fire me, sob sob~"
Hearing Zhang Meng was almost crying, Li Xiaoyao suddenly found himself without a strategy. This girl had pinpointed Li Xiaoyao's weakness—knowing that he couldn't bear to see a girl cry, she had used that tactic.
And, unfortunately for him, Li Xiaoyao fell for it every time.
Li Xiaoyao rubbed his teeth, said, "Alright, stop playing the pity card, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, before Li Xiaoyao could say anything, Zhao Ge was already speaking, "Mr. Li, you go ahead with your business. I'll treat you next time."
"I'm really sorry about today. The chairman's driver was in a car accident and was hospitalized. They asked me to fill in for him." After exchanging a few words with Zhao Ge, Li Xiaoyao turned and went upstairs.
Li Xiaoyao was annoyed. What was all this about? Even if the driver had been in an accident, that shouldn't mean he had to be the one to drive her.
Annoyed as he was, thinking back to Director Lan saying she would send him to Yun Country to lay low for a while, Li Xiaoyao felt that driving her once wasn't a big deal.
The office was empty after hours. When Li Xiaoyao went upstairs, there were only a few people scattered around the office.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in."
Li Xiaoyao pushed the door and entered. Lan Cai had already changed her clothes. Seeing Li Xiaoyao come in, she said, "The driver had an accident, so I have to trouble you."
Li Xiaoyao was quite chatty, and although he didn't mind driving her, he couldn't help but to grumble, "Director Lan, why didn't you ask someone else to drive? Just give a shout to any of those strapping young lads in the security department."
Lan Cai looked at him and asked, "You don't want to drive me?"
Li Xiaoyao curled his lips and answered honestly, "I just recruited a head for the security department and was about to treat him to dinner. Then your call came, and I had to blew him off."
Lan Cai was slightly amused as she asked, "So, you're blaming me?"
"I wouldn't dare. You're the chairman; how could I possibly blame you?" Though he said so, Li Xiaoyao still felt slightly miffed.
Not fussing over it, Lan Cai said, "Take me home later, and then you can stay over at my place tonight."
Li Xiaoyao's brain froze for a moment. What? She wants me to stay at her place? Isn't this changing the subject way too fast?
Li Xiaoyao eyed Lan Cai with a strange look and coughed lightly, "Director Lan, this... this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"
"Inappropriate?" Lan Cai's brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "What's inappropriate about it?"
The moment the question came out of her mouth, Lan Cai understood what Li Xiaoyao meant by inappropriate. Her lips parted slightly, and as a blush crept over her impeccably white cheeks, she said with a touch of annoyance, "Li Xiaoyao, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm inviting you to stay at my place for... for something else?"
Li Xiaoyao looked at her and asked, "Isn't it for that?"
Lan Cai's face was so red it seemed about to drip water, her heart filled with embarrassment and indignation, particularly at Li Xiaoyao's words: "Isn't it for that?" It inflated her urge to annihilate Li Xiaoyao right then and there.
"I'm worried that Long Feiyang will retaliate against you, so I'm letting you stay at my place for a while, that's all!" Lan Cai enunciated each word, nearly through clenched teeth, and after speaking, she huffed and swiftly left the office, leaving behind a bewildered Li Xiaoyao.
