Chapter 221 - He didn't help people for their appreciation; but if he did receive it, that was certainly very heartwarming. (1)
The car stopped in front of a building and Feng Zeyu was the first to talked into the fourth floor. When the elevator door opened, there was a large sign that said Hua An Security.
“Boss, you drank?” As soon as he walked inside, a man in security uniform came up and said to him with a cheeky smile.
“So what if boss had some alcohol? With our boss’s ability, he could down 10 bottles without getting drunk.” The other man, too, was grinning cheekily in a playful way.
Feng Zeyu glanced over at them and the two men stood up straight solemnly with their smiles gone immediately.
“What was the call this morning about?”
“To let you know that a few companies had expressed their intention to renew their rental agreement with us and we need you to sign the paperwork.” The one who spoke was Mao Weiping, a man who had stood by Feng Zeyu’s side in life and death situations. He had sustained severe injuries and lost a leg in the battlefield and now handled administrative work at the security company. He was also a minor shareholder of the company.
When Feng Zeyu got out of prison, he was at loss for a while. So he went to look up a few of his old comrades. Two men had died on his team and two were severely injured. He was the only one who got out unscathed. When he met up with them, Feng Zeyu learned that both of them had been assigned to some paltry paying government post that they were to stay for the rest of their lives.
Many of the other comrades that he knew were assigned to factories. Back then factories were no doing well and the pay was paltry. Many didn’t even have work and would turn to jobs like personal security or securities for business. Some would just work at constructions.
Feng Zeyu felt that that should not be the case. After long and serious consideration, he took out a loan with his grandparents’ house along with his past savings and started this security company. When Mao Weiping found out about it, he put in his own savings, put his position on hold and came to City Nan to help him out. In addition to Mao Weiping and himself, all of the other employees were veterans and many of them was from his platoon. Most of them had seen blood before and protecting some rich men was nothing but a simple task to them.
After he had gathered this group of people, that had alerted the government. They reached out to him for a talk and this security company almost didn’t happen. Having no other choices, Feng Zeyu reached out to his old superior and that was when the old superior found out about him going to prison for something that he had not done. He got him the approval and he was able to start his own company.
With this incident, many with sources found out about this security company. In this day and age, anyone with some money valued their lives a lot and case loads came flying in for Feng Zeyu.
All in all, everybody from his location became personal bodyguard. Other regular veterans became loan security for companies. Meaning that they were still employees of Feng Zeyu’s company. They went to work at the other companies’ locations but the companies would pay Hua An Security and Hua An would, in turn, pay them.
On paper they were making about the same as what they would have gotten working elsewhere. In reality, with all sorts of supplements and benefits, they were making much more. These were all money that his brothers made from risking their own lives so Feng Zeyu only took a very small commission. The companies that hired them were also assured that, with the contract between them, they would always have someone there and, with the reputation, the security of their companies was assured.
Over the last few years, rich men from other areas had been reaching out to them for their services. Feng Zeyu had been planning on opening up a branch in City North.
“Lao Feng, someone said they have found that girl,” said Mao Weiping abruptly after he put down a stack of contracts.
