Ling Zhenfei then realized something. Before going to sleep yesterday, he indeed had asked a question. He asked Liu Bingying if she would bear to see both him and the bride in pain after his marriage.

"So, have you thought of an answer?"

Liu Bingying looked at him foolishly and said, "I've thought it through, of course I can't bear to see my brother in pain."

In the morning, having left the house with Liu Bingying, Ling Zhenfei headed straight for the bar because the funding was already in place. Zhou Tong had called him yesterday to tell him that the renovation would officially start today, so Ling Zhenfei had rushed over early in the morning.

After Ling Zhenfei arrived, the renovation had not yet begun. It was only when the auspicious hour arrived that Zhou Tong set off firecrackers, and the renovation officially began.

Ling Zhenfei had assumed that Zhou Tong would hire people he knew, who might not be very professional. However, once he saw the situation on-site, he realized he was wrong; the workers and their tools clearly indicated high professionalism, not a shoddy operation at all.

Just the renovation drawings, hand-drawn sketches piled up, exuded professionalism, and so much money had been spent striving to achieve perfection in the renovation.

With Zhou Tong overseeing the place, there should be no problems, so Ling Zhenfei left the bar and headed directly toward Zhou Jian's car shop.

Since the bar was being renovated, Zhou Jian had no work there and had returned to his car shop, which was his original trade.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Zhou Jian was extremely surprised, "Big brother, how come you have time to visit?"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei had become somewhat difficult, but Ling Zhenfei still really liked Zhou Jian; he was a loyal and decent person.

Ever since Jiang Hao had betrayed him, Ling Zhenfei had come to value the loyalty of his friends even more. It didn't matter if someone was a thief or a robber, as long as they were loyal and responsible, they were considered a real man.

If a person lacked loyalty and could betray anyone, no matter how high their official position or how great a boss they were, they wouldn't last long, as no one would truly give their life for them.

"Zhou Jian, can't you aspire a bit higher than this car shop? You only make so much money in a year. Work with me; I can at least ensure you live a better life," said Ling Zhenfei bluntly, without beating around the bush.

Zhou Jian, a bit embarrassed, responded, "Boss, you are right, but I can't just abandon this car shop. I still have so many brothers here, depending on me for their livelihood."

Ling Zhenfei laughed upon hearing this, "This is why I like your loyal nature. Honestly, if you had just abandoned your brothers to follow me, I would have looked down on you a bit. Now, I respect you even more as a person."

"Boss, stop kidding with me. I can work with you, but I need to find someone willing to take over here first. Otherwise, all my buddies would be out of a job," Zhou Jian said as he thought Ling Zhenfei was joking, so he hastened to explain.

Ling Zhenfei took Zhou Jian's hand and said, "I'm not kidding. You come to our Xishan Manor and manage the security department. Bring your men with you, and ask around our old group to see who wants to join me. I'll take them all."

Zhou Jian was a bit startled upon hearing this and after thinking it over, he asked, "Boss, does Xishan Manor really need that many security guards?"

Ling Zhenfei knew what Zhou Jian was worried about, "These are just the initial staff; later you'll need to keep recruiting. Not just our local Xishan Manor, but also the bar that will become a high-end restaurant, and the fish farm, don't worry, there are plenty of positions."

With this explanation, Zhou Jian finally cheered up and called his brethren together to announce the news.

But as soon as the announcement was made, Ling Zhenfei noticed they didn't seem very pleased, almost as if it didn't concern them much.

"Do you have any concerns?" Ling Zhenfei asked the few workers.

One of them said to Ling Zhenfei, "It's like this, boss. Fixing motorcycles, although dirty and tiring, is still a skill. Giving up skilled labor to become a security guard, wouldn't that be a step backwards?"

Ling Zhenfei quickly explained, "You're thinking about it wrong. My previous job was as a white-collar in a big corporation, and now I'm just a small farmer. But back then, I couldn't even afford meals, and now, I own property worth a few billion. You tell me, what's a step backwards?"

"Moreover, I assure you, as long as you go there and train diligently, learn well from Zhou Jian, and gradually all become team leaders, even chiefs or security managers. Because my company is developing rapidly, you should seize this opportunity."

"Then what about the salary?" asked the young man, addressing everyone's key concern as the others' eyes widened.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and asked him, "How much are you earning here?"

The young man calculated briefly on his fingers and said, "Here, during the busy summer season, I can earn more than three thousand yuan."

Ling Zhenfei almost burst out laughing, "Alright, I'll pay you three thousand every month, plus social insurance and a year-end bonus."

"Really?" several people asked incredulously.

"Everything's true, just rest assured, I promise," Zhou Jian added.

With those words from Zhou Jian, everyone shouted with genuine excitement.

"Boss, what should we do with the dozen or so motorcycles here?" Zhou Jian asked Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei looked around and said, "Take them all. Give each of your men one, and put a Xishan Manor logo on them; it will be convenient for commuting when off duty."

The men cheered again; their happiness had come too suddenly.

Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Jian had a good talk about the company's policies, and then Ling Zhenfei entrusted Zhou Jian with major responsibilities for the security department, completing a concern of his.

While chatting with Zhou Jian at the car shop, Ling Zhenfei took several calls. People had seen his recruitment advertisement online and called to inquire, but when they heard the job location was in a mountain village, many directly hung up.

Nowadays, which young person would want to work in a mountain village? This troubled Ling Zhenfei greatly.

"Boss, it looks like you need to hire quite a few people," Zhou Jian noted.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, the company is just starting and is in desperate need of talent. I'm urgently lacking financial and marketing professionals."

Zhou Jian said, "Boss, you're really confused about accounting; that I'm not good at, but marketing talents are not in short supply. Take a look, what do you think this place is, a hidden dragon crouching tiger den."

"Do you still remember Cheng Kun from our first mile?"

With that mention from Zhou Jian, Ling Zhenfei really did recall Cheng Kun, but he expected Zhou Jian and others to step forward, although he was met with skepticism at the time. Someone had suggested testing Ling Zhenfei.

It was Cheng Kun who had confronted Ling Zhenfei back then, a broad-shouldered, energetic young man, but Ling Zhenfei was unsure why Zhou Jian mentioned him.

"What do you mean by bringing up Cheng Kun?"
