Chapter 199 Let's have a few bottles of Moutai first
The decoration in the box was exquisite and gorgeous, which made several people stare in amazement.
This hotel was originally set up to receive officials and visiting delegations, so needless to say it is luxurious. Just like the Swan Hotel back then, it was a semi-official building built for certain needs, so the materials used are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary restaurants.
Several people followed Lu Yiming into the hotel, and immediately they felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything they saw seemed strange and new.
Among these people, Qi Rong seemed the calmest, because he had the highest academic qualifications. He had graduated from junior high school before joining the army. He was also the oldest and could be considered to have seen some of the world.
Wei Jianjun and Zhang Jiefang are different. They can't recognize a single word. They responded to the call to join the army, learned a lot of skills and after retiring, they either farmed in their hometown or screwed screws in factories. How could they have seen these things?
"The imperial palace in ancient times was probably no more than this, right? Tiezhu, look, there's actually a waterfall in this room!"
"This door can turn by itself, it's great."
"Isn't this table too big? There are only six of us. Do we really need to sit in such a big box?"
“Isn’t it expensive to have a meal here?”
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's not expensive. How much does a meal cost? Isn't it a welcome party for you today? You can't just have a box lunch, right? What kind of wine do you want to drink? Forget it, let them bring a few bottles of Moutai."
Although the prices here are not affordable for most people, for people of Lu Yiming's level, the financial pressure of eating here is not much different from that of eating in a small restaurant.
After everyone was seated and the dishes were served and a few glasses of wine were drunk, Qi Rong and his friends suddenly became much more lively and started talking about their experiences over the years.
These people all came from the lowest level of society. Although they joined the army and shed blood and sweat to serve the country, they were unable to get any decent jobs after demobilization. They could only work in factories and farm at home during the busy farming season.
During this process, Lu Yiming had been observing these three people.
Qi Rong is worthy of being the class monitor and he only has a junior high school diploma. He has a calm personality and speaks clearly and logically. He is the absolute core of the conversation.
Wei Jianjun and Zhang Jiefang are younger than Qi Rong and Zhao Tiezhu, and their personalities are much more lively.
As they chatted, several people talked about the letter from Zhao Tiezhu.
"Boss Lu, Tiezhu said in the letter that you want us to be your bodyguards. I want to make it clear that we can be your bodyguards, but we will not commit any crime or bully the weak. If you cannot agree to this condition, I will turn around and leave immediately, no matter what salary you offer me."
It was obvious that Qi Rong was a man of great integrity and did not bow down under the pressure of life.
This is a man of principles.
Lu Yiming admires this kind of people. Having a bottom line means they will not act recklessly. In addition, Qi Rong has good abilities. With a little observation and training, he might be able to be entrusted with important tasks.
Therefore, Lu Yiming nodded to him seriously and promised: "You can rest assured about this. I am a legitimate businessman and I do legal business. I can make money in a clean way. There is no need to commit a crime."
If you were reborn in the 1990s with knowledge that is more than 20 years ahead of others and still have to rely on criminal law to make money, that would be too lame.
After getting Lu Yiming's assurance, several people finally felt relieved.
Lu Yiming raised his glass and asked with a smile: "You can ask Zhao Tiezhu about my affairs. I am a person who hates evil and will help those who are injustice. To be honest, I dare not even think about asking me to do something illegal. Moreover, you are all soldiers who have been tempered in the army. If I recruit you to help me do bad things, you will definitely expose me. Is it worth it for me to take this risk?"
Lu Yiming's words not only showed his attitude, but also displayed his humor, giving these people the impression that he was easy to get along with.
After dinner, Lu Yiming directly called two taxis and took his people to the Bi Hai Long Ting Villa.
The three townhouses appeared before them, shocking everyone. Even Qi Rong, who had been calm all along, dropped the cigarette in his mouth in shock: "From now on... we will live here?"
He originally thought that Zhao Tiezhu was joking when he said about arranging accommodation in a villa. As a worker, it was good enough to have a clean and tidy dormitory to live in. They had long been accustomed to sleeping in bunk beds in the army.
As a result, I now live in a big villa, which is something I couldn't even dream of.
"Yeah, I've lived here for a long time. Hehe."
Zhao Tiezhu felt somewhat proud, as if he had lived here longer and had gained more advantages than others.
Lu Yiming patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder and instructed, "Tiezhu, take these brothers out for a walk later, buy them some clothes, and get them cell phones for easy communication. By the way, does anyone have a driver's license?"
After learning that several people did not have a driver's license, Lu Yiming immediately said: "If you don't have a driver's license, then sign up for another one. Once you have passed the test, I will give you a car."
After that, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, then said, "It's getting late. Let's go back. Tiezhu, you don't have to follow us."
"Okay boss."
As soon as Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang left, several people immediately surrounded Zhao Tiezhu.
Wei Jianjun felt that today's experience was too dreamy and couldn't help but say, "Letting bodyguards live in villas and give them mobile phones? This is really unheard of! Tiezhu, is this boss recruiting assassins? I told you, we will never do anything illegal!"
Zhao Tiezhu had been with Lu Yiming for a while and was familiar with him. He smiled and explained, "The boss is doing serious business. He was kidnapped before, so he hopes to find a few more reliable bodyguards. Everyone, don't think too much, just settle down. After we buy things, I will take you to take the driver's license test. The boss said that he would provide each of us with a car."
Everyone was shocked again.
"Everyone gets a car? How rich does that mean?"
In their opinion, anyone who can afford a car is already a very wealthy person, and owning several cars by one person is really beyond their imagination.
Zhang Jiefang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu looks quite young. Does your family have any objection to spending so much money?"
Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "Probably not. Anyway, this money was earned by Mr. Lu himself, so what's the problem?"
"You earned it yourself? I don't think he's that old."
"According to what you said, this is really an amazing young man."
"Only by following a boss like this can you have a future."
Several people were amazed and amazed.
