Chapter 216: Hidden Dragon

Su Sheng looked at the red brick wall before him, feeling somewhat moved; who would have thought that in this bustling metropolis there was still such a red brick wall, inside which a few red brick houses could be seen.

Hey!

Hey!

Even standing outside the door, one could clearly hear the sound coming from inside.

This voice is very familiar.

"Hello, may I ask what you need?"

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Su Sheng turned around and saw a man in a military black shirt; the black shirt could not hide the outline of his muscles.

The moment he saw Su Sheng, the black-clad man froze for a moment, eyeing him doubtfully and muttering softly: "No, I haven't received any notice of new people arriving recently."

Then the black-clad man enthusiastically extended his hand to Su Sheng: "Hello, you must be the new brother, right? I'm Qu Xiang Tian. Come inside quickly. By the way, brother, where's your luggage?"

Su Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Qu Xiang Tian had mistaken him for a retired soldier coming to report for duty at Yin Long Security.

Because Yin Long Security still retains some military habits, its retired veterans still retain a distinctive military bearing.

Furthermore, like most recently discharged soldiers, one can tell at a glance that they differ from ordinary people, especially those who came from the troops—you can recognize them instantly.

Especially right after discharge, of course, the vast majority of people, after being out for a while, get smoothed out by society's great dye vat, becoming slick.

Since Su Sheng had only recently been discharged, Qu Xiang Tian could tell at a glance that he, too, was a veteran from the troops.

And the veterans who come here are basically all coming to register for employment at Yin Long.

"Brother Qu, hello." Su Sheng also extended his hand and shook it.

"However, I'm not here to register; I'm here to offer you business." Su Sheng explained with a smile.

"Ah?"

Qu Xiang Tian stared for a moment, then sized Su Sheng up and down: "Business?"

Actually, Yin Long's business isn't… that great…

Because they are all various kinds of relatively special retired soldiers; although their security capability is actually not weak, many wealthy people simply won't hire Yin Long Security.

First, Yin Long Security's prices are much higher than those of ordinary security companies.

Second, not many people know about Yin Long Security; after all, this red brick house looks ordinary, but those who know Yin Long Security are not ordinary folks.

Third, because they all come from the troops, although their relevant business skills are strong, they have their own principles in how they act; for certain special jobs, Yin Long's people won't take them.

But most businessmen, in fact, more or less have a bit…

So the number of people hiring Yin Long Security is not large.

"Really? I don't know how many people you want to hire; come, come inside and sit." Qu Xiang Tian instantly became more enthusiastic and then led the way.

Su Sheng followed Qu Xiang Tian inside.

After entering the gate, Su Sheng looked around curiously; the layout seemed somewhat familiar to him.

"To help everyone keep their fitness after discharge, we've set up some training grounds according to military standards." Qu Xiang Tian explained.

Su Sheng nodded slightly; he could also see people forming squads and training there.

The earlier sound came from their mouths.

"Come, let's go to the reception room; I don't know your surname, brother." Qu Xiang Tian continued to lead the way.

"My surname is Su." Su Sheng answered with a smile.

"Brother Su, you look like you haven't been discharged long."

Qu Xiang Tian asked curiously.

"About right; calculating the time, it's been close to two months." Su Sheng chuckled.

"No wonder..." Qu Xiang Tian understood.

"Brother Su, did you start your own company?" Qu Xiang Tian continued to inquire.

Su Sheng hesitated, then nodded slightly; a club also counts as a company, right?

"Old Qu..."

At that moment a shout came over; a black-clad man who looked relatively older walked over from the side.

"How's the business coming? If we don't land two more jobs, next month's wages might not be paid." The black-clad man said as he walked over.

Although Yin Long Security is supported by the military, they have already retired, yet the military still provides some economic assistance; otherwise Yin Long would have gone under long ago.

But they can't rely on military assistance forever.

"Here he is—this is Brother Su, who just retired two months ago and started his own company to hire people." Qu Xiang Tian introduced Su Sheng.

The newcomer froze, then his eyes lit up as he looked at Su Sheng: "I don't know how many people you want to hire; rest assured, they're all from the troops— as long as it's not illegal or wrongdoing, the brothers can handle it splendidly for you."

At first he, like Qu Xiang Tian, thought Su Sheng was a new recruit reporting for duty.

Seeing this, Su Sheng realized things weren't looking good for Yin Long Security.

But seeing these retired men still maintaining military habits, an idea formed in Su Sheng's mind.

"I don't know how many people Yin Long currently has." Su Sheng asked.

Qu Xiang Tian and the newly arrived black-clad man exchanged a glance; it seemed this brother wanted quite a few people.

"Yin Long currently has about three thousand people in total, but only over two thousand can be deployed on missions, with over six hundred more counted as logistics." Qu Xiang Tian introduced.

"Logistics?" Su Sheng froze for a moment, then understood and nodded slightly; three thousand people, huh.

Over three thousand veterans from the troops, and not just any troops.

Whether it's Qu Xiang Tian or the newly arrived man, Su Sheng could tell they'd seen blood... just like him.

If these people weren't centrally managed, the state would indeed fear disorder; thus Yin Long Security came into being.

As for those six hundred plus, Su Sheng also understood: "Do you have someone named Wang Shan among your logistics staff here?"

"Wang Shan?" Qu Xiang Tian looked at the newly arrived black-clad man.

The black-clad man thought for a moment: "Yes, how...."

"He's my comrade-in-arms; I don't know if I can call him over." Su Sheng also didn't hide anything.

"Alright, I'll go fetch him now!" The black-clad man slapped his thigh; it seemed this job was now a sure thing.

The strongest bond between men is nothing more than having shared a dormitory, having carried guns together, having.... cough cough....

Since the other party's comrade is here, persuading them to hire someone here is basically a sure thing.

"Then, Su brother, shall we first go sit in the living room?" Qu Xiang Tian said.

"Okay." Su Sheng nodded.

The reception room of Yin Long Security was quite crude, as simple as the overall style of Yin Long Security.

Shortly after sitting down, the older black-clad man brought someone over.

Seeing the man following behind him, Su Sheng felt somewhat excited and stood up.
