Chapter 273 Security Personnel
"My name is Feng Hua, and this is my younger sister, Feng Ye," the short-haired woman replied in a cool tone and at a steady pace.
"Feng Hua and Feng Ye? So you're sisters." Shen Li repeated softly, handing the key to Feng Hua. "You're in charge of arranging for someone to clean this courtyard. You'll be living here from now on."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of crisp new banknotes from her bag and handed them out to everyone: "This hundred yuan is for you to buy daily necessities."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen!" Everyone accepted the money, their faces showing gratitude.
Shen Li then took out a thick wad of cash, totaling three thousand yuan, and handed it to Feng Hua: "Take this three thousand yuan. Use it for cleaning the yard and buying new items. If it's not enough, just ask me for more."
Feng Hua clutched the heavy stack of banknotes in her hand, her brow furrowed slightly, and couldn't help but blurt out, "With so much money, aren't you afraid I'll run off with it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li smiled calmly: "I'm not afraid. I trust you all, and I trust my elder brother's judgment even more."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, and added with certainty, "Actually, what you will receive in the future is far more than this three thousand yuan."
If even this small amount of money can make you give up an opportunity, it only shows that your vision is limited. Even if you stay, you won't achieve anything significant.
Feng Hua was a cold person by nature. At first, she was somewhat unwilling to be asked to protect a young girl who looked quite young, and she only regarded it as completing a task.
But hearing Shen Li say this now, and seeing that she acted generously and spoke clearly, she didn't seem like a spoiled little girl, so her opinion changed—perhaps this would be a good job.
After all, it's rare to find a boss who is so generous and trusting of his subordinates.
"Okay, thank you for your trust, Mr. Shen." Feng Hua put away the money, her tone slightly more relaxed than before, but when she called him "Mr. Shen," there was still a hint of awkwardness in her voice.
Shen Li understood, and chuckled, teasing, "Not used to being called that?"
"No..." Feng Hua pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly.
This was the first time she had met such a young "boss," and she was indeed a little unaccustomed to it.
Shen Li's smile widened: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few times."
Seeing their boss so young yet so composed and carefree, everyone couldn't help but exchange smiles, and their earlier restraint dissipated considerably.
"By the way," Shen Li changed the subject, asking, "Does any of you know how to drive?"
Some people in the crowd nodded, while others shook their heads.
"It's alright," Shen Li said nonchalantly. "You can all settle in first. Once everything is settled, those who can't drive should learn. The factory will be officially operational soon, and they will arrange instructors. Once you've learned, you can just take the test. The factory will cover all the costs."
"Yes, thank you, President Shen!" Everyone responded in unison again, their gazes towards Shen Li now filled with even more respect and anticipation.
Shen Li had already contacted Yan Xiangcheng, asking him to help introduce a top-performing graduate.
As long as the other party has real skills, she will never hesitate to offer a high salary to poach them.
Today is the day to go to Rongsheng Machinery Factory to complete the handover.
Before setting off, Shen Li looked at the ten people accompanying him and said decisively, "Those who think they are skilled enough, step forward."
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a mixture of uncertainty and certainty.
The next second, Feng Hua, Zhao Qing, and the other four people took a step forward in unison, their postures upright and their demeanor composed.
Shen Li glanced at the six people and immediately instructed, "Feng Hua, you stay in the courtyard to plan the layout and make it habitable as soon as possible; Zhao Qing, you take these three and come with me."
"Yes, President Shen!" the four replied in unison, their voices crisp and clear.
Shen Li led Zhao Qing and the others to Rongsheng Machinery Factory by car.
Although these people all claimed to be able to drive, she hadn't actually tested their skills yet, so to be on the safe side, she took the steering wheel herself.
Not long after the car drove off, Zhao Qing suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "President Shen, there's a motorcycle and a car following us for quite some time."
Shen Li was so focused on planning the handover that he hadn't paid any attention to what was happening behind him.
Reminded by Zhao Qing, she immediately glanced at the rearview mirror—sure enough, the two cars were following her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and judging from their tracks, they had been following her for quite some distance.
"Write down the license plate number." Shen Li said calmly, but her hands were already on the action.
"Understood!" Zhao Qing quickly took out his notebook and jotted down a string of numbers.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Li slammed on the gas!
"Buzz—"
The old car suddenly unleashed a powerful force far exceeding its appearance, and the car shot forward in an instant. The people inside were caught off guard and instinctively gripped the handrails, secretly marveling: Mr. Shen's driving skills are amazing!
Little did they know that although the car looked like it belonged to this era, it was packed with cutting-edge modern technology.
In terms of acceleration performance alone, it surpasses that of ordinary new cars. Coupled with Shen Li's skillful and experienced driving techniques, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
She would sometimes change lanes to overtake, and sometimes use intersections to turn and create distance. After a few rounds, the two cars were no longer visible in the rearview mirror.
"We've shaken them off." Shen Li eased off the accelerator, and the car's speed gradually stabilized.
The car came to a steady stop in front of Rongsheng Machinery Factory. Shen Li looked up and examined the gate in front of him. The iron fence was rusty and the gateposts were crooked. It looked loose and flimsy. Let alone keeping out thieves, someone could probably sneak in silently in the time it takes for an old man to take a nap.
This door needs to be replaced quickly. Shen Li thought to himself.
If the factory wants to conduct research in the future, the core technologies and equipment must be properly concealed. Safety is absolutely the top priority, and this gate, which is practically useless, cannot be allowed to remain unprotected.
The old man guarding the gate recognized Shen Li at a glance, and his face immediately lit up with a big smile as he warmly greeted him: "Boss Shen is here!"
It seems he was the first to receive news of the factory's change of ownership.
Shen Lichong nodded to him, his tone gentle: "Sir, thank you for your hard work. Keep up the good work."
"Yes! Definitely!" The old man smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, his face full of flattery.
Shen Li understood that he was worried that he was getting old and would be replaced by a new boss.
To be honest, once the factory's professional security team is established, the position of the gatekeeper will indeed need to be adjusted.
However, Shen Li had already planned it out in her mind. She would arrange an easy logistics position for the old man, so as not to let him down after guarding the factory for so long.
The old man quickly opened the door, and Shen Li drove directly to the office building, leading Zhao Qing and the others straight up to the second floor.
In the office, Fang Yi immediately stood up to greet Shen Li upon seeing him, his face full of concern: "Boss Shen, are you alright?"
Shen Li smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Director Fang. I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, his voice still carrying a hint of lingering fear. "I really didn't expect that Feng Quan would be so bold as to dare to do something like that!"
Shen Li gently shook her head, her tone indifferent: "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
She changed the subject abruptly, "Director Fang, in the next few days, let's get the handover process straight. Also, please clear out an office for me and arrange for the factory's key personnel to come and meet us."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Fang Yi replied quickly.
Where is the meeting room?
"This way, please, Mr. Shen!"
