Chapter 438
"Zhang Shouji is indeed a suitable candidate."
Li Yimin muttered to himself. Zhang Shouji was originally the boss of the Imperial Sun faction and was also the second-in-command in the Gold Gate Group. Although it was an empty title, he had the seniority after all.
And compared to Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu, Zhang Shouji was easier to control and did not have the ambitions of the latter two. For the police, such a person was suitable for control.
……
After Zhang Shouji left the club, he went straight back to his residence.
Unlike Ding Qing who lived in a high-end apartment, people of Zhang Shouji's age preferred detached villas.
Zhang Shouji returned home, went to the study, opened the safe, and took out a file.
The content of the file was related to Ding Qing, all of which Zhang Shouji had secretly collected over the years. Besides Ding Qing, there were also important figures of the Gold Gate Group like Shi Dong and Li Zhongjiu.
Although Zhang Shouji was forced to become a lone commander, he had never given up struggling and had always been preparing for it.
It was just that now, the files on Shi Dong and Li Zhongjiu were no longer useful.
"No, once the police take action against Ding Qing, this guy might jump over the wall in desperation and perhaps take me with him."
Zhang Shouji suddenly realized this problem.
In his current state as a lone commander, it was simple for Ding Qing to kill him.
"Must find helpers; the police force alone is not safe enough."
Zhang Shouji thought silently and decided to add another layer of insurance for himself.
Zhang Shouji knew that Ding Qing had a group of Yanbian old-timers under him who specifically handled dirty work for Ding Qing. Zhang Shouji was very envious of this, so he also obtained the contact information of a group of Yanbian fierce men through an intermediary.
"That person seems to be called something like Mian Zhenghe (from the movie 'The Yellow Sea')?"
Zhang Shouji recalled for a moment, then snorted, "Dog cub, a Yanbian old-timer, but the name is quite elegant."
Then Zhang Shouji took out his phone and dialed Mian Zhenghe's number.
Beep, beep, beep.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. A weathered man's voice sounded, "Old Mian's dog farm, who is this?"
"I'm looking for Mian Zhenghe."
Zhang Shouji said.
"That's me. If you want to buy a dog, come to the dog farm and pick one yourself."
On the other end of the phone, Mian Zhenghe said.
Mian Zhenghe was not a professional killer like the four Diao Hong men; he had his own industry, running a dog farm in Yanbian, and had gathered a group of fierce men under him, and the business was doing quite well.
"I'm not buying a dog; I want to talk to you about a business deal."
Zhang Shouji coughed and said.
"What business? Tell me, I'm listening."
Mian Zhenghe said.
"Let me tell you about my situation first. I am Zhang Shouji, Vice Chairman of the Gold Gate Group. I want you to come to the peninsula to protect me for a period of time. Of course, the price is negotiable."
Zhang Shouji said.
"Gold Gate Group? I think I've heard of it."
Mian Zhenghe pondered for a moment, recalled the news about the Gold Gate Group, and said: "I remember now. But the Gold Gate Group is so powerful, as a Vice Chairman, you should have plenty of people under you. Do you need me to protect you?"
"I was also recommended by someone, saying that Old Mian from Yanbian is very strong, which is why I called you."
Zhang Shouji said. In fact, the real reason was that he had no one to use under him and had to invite people from Yanbian.
It wasn't that he couldn't find people on the peninsula, but they were unreliable. After all, they were all peninsula people; it was very likely that just as he had found people, they would be turned against him by others the next moment.
But Yanbian people were different. First, they were unfamiliar with the peninsula, which reduced the probability of being turned. Second, Yanbian people were more fierce; as long as the money was enough, they dared to risk their lives to do it.
"You're right about that. In Yanbian, you can ask around about Old Mian's reputation."
Mian Zhenghe said: "I can protect you, but I get to decide the price."
"You say it."
Zhang Shouji said.
"We'll talk about the specific remuneration when we meet. Also, there is one more thing that Vice Chairman Zhang needs to agree to."
Mian Zhenghe did not say it directly, but instead put forward another condition.
Zhang Shouji was a bit irritated by Mian Zhenghe, but he valued Mian Zhenghe's strength. From the intermediary, Zhang Shouji learned that Mian Zhenghe not only had many fierce men under him but was also quite strong himself.
"What is it? Tell me."
Zhang Shouji took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked.
"After the matter is over, please trouble Vice Chairman Zhang to arrange a position for me in the Gold Gate Group. I think this is just a matter of a word for you."
Mian Zhenghe said. After learning that Zhang Shouji was the Vice Chairman of the Gold Gate Group, he immediately had this plan.
Although Mian Zhenghe was doing well in Yanbian, it was too poor there; even if he was doing well locally, there was no profit.
But the peninsula was different, especially the capital of the peninsula where the Gold Gate Group was located, which was a metropolis of paper-drunk and gold-obsessed, which was very attractive to Mian Zhenghe.
"I can agree to this matter."
Zhang Shouji hesitated slightly, but ultimately chose to agree.
"Then there's no problem. Vice Chairman Zhang, give me an address, and I will handle the matters at hand and come over to protect you immediately."
Mian Zhenghe smiled and said.
"Good."
Zhang Shouji gave the address to Mian Zhenghe, then hung up the phone.
"Finally, I can rest assured."
Zhang Shouji let out a long breath. With Mian Zhenghe's protection, he could patiently wait for the police to handle Ding Qing, and thus calmly sit in the Chairman's position.
As for the condition promised to Mian Zhenghe, once he became Chairman, it would naturally not be a problem.
Zhang Shouji hadn't thought about reneging on the debt; he had heard of the madness of these Yanbian people and didn't dare to do things too thoroughly.
The next day.
Mian Zhenghe brought a group of lackeys and took a plane to the peninsula, with the air tickets paid for by Zhang Shouji.
Then Mian Zhenghe followed the address given by Zhang Shouji and came to an unfinished building, where he met Zhang Shouji on the rooftop.
"You peninsula people, do you like to talk business in such places?"
Mian Zhenghe looked at Zhang Shouji, then looked at the rooftop environment, and said.
"It's safest here; no need to worry about too many eyes and ears."
Zhang Shouji said with a smile.
"Tell me, how exactly am I protecting you? Who wants to kill you?"
Mian Zhenghe sat down on a cement pier carelessly and said.
Looking at the momentum, it was Mian Zhenghe who looked more like the boss.
"His name is Ding Qing, he is an Executive Director of the Gold Gate Group, very strong, with strong soldiers and sturdy horses under him."
Zhang Shouji said, took out a file, handed it to Mian Zhenghe, and said: "Here is Ding Qing's information, take a look."
Mian Zhenghe took the file, flipped through a few pages casually, then put it down and said: "I have a general understanding. Vice Chairman Zhang, rest assured, with me here, Ding Qing cannot kill you."
"With your words, I am relieved."
Zhang Shouji said with a sigh of relief.
"Now, it's time to talk about the remuneration."
Mian Zhenghe said.
"Old Mian, name your price."
Zhang Shouji said.
Mian Zhenghe raised his hand, opened his five fingers, and said: "This number."
"Fifty million?"
Zhang Shouji raised his eyebrows, thinking it was a bit expensive, but gritted his teeth and prepared to agree. After all, compared to his own life, fifty million was not very expensive.
But before Zhang Shouji could speak, he heard Mian Zhenghe say: "Not fifty million, five hundred million. Not a single won less."
"Five hundred million!?"
Hearing this amount, Zhang Shouji was dumbfounded, not expecting Mian Zhenghe to open his mouth like a lion. ===== CHAPTER 440 =====
Upon hearing this figure, Zhang Shouji was dumbfounded; he had not expected Mian Zhenghe to open with such an exorbitant demand.
