Vol. 1 - Ch. 27 - Bodyguard is online

Manager Lin was very efficient. The loan applied for by the food factory was approved in just one week. With a series of materials and documents submitted by the food factory, a total of 980,000 yuan was approved by the provincial bank, with a five-year loan interest rate of 7.82%.Before the food factory made drastic reforms, Shu Ping first found a high-end hotel in the county to invite the bank staff to dinner, and brought several senior executives of the factory. It was easiest to build relationships at the dinner table. With personal relationships, it would be easier to get twice the result with half the effort when needed in the future.

After the dinner, Shu Ping called a few taxis to send people off and put the gifts prepared in advance in the trunk.

"Director Shu, you are too polite. How can we eat and take things?"

If the satisfied smile on the other person's face is ignored, the credibility may be higher. Shu Ping certainly can't take it seriously.

"President, the money can be paid so quickly this time. You must have said a lot of good things. You must accept this little gift."

After all the guests got on the car and left, sales director Li Yueling wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed with soul-like emotion, "This social event is really not a job for humans. It is much more difficult than discussing business. My cheeks are sore from laughing during the meal."

Accountant Huang also nodded with lingering fear. She is introverted and not as good at talking as Li Yueling. But she is the financial director. She toasted a few glasses of wine under pressure. She was exhausted physically and mentally, as if her brain was hollowed out.

Shu Ping smiled and opened the car door to let everyone get in. She consoled them, "You will gain experience if you attend this kind of occasion a few times. It's getting late. Let's go back. The factory will be busy again tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Li Yueling was full of energy. She smiled and got into the car and said, "The busier I am, the happier I am. It means that our factory has a good prospect and can make money. The clothing factory next door lost half of its orders a while ago, and the factory began to lay off employees. Recently, there are many more people applying for jobs in our factory."

However, the food factory is not short of people recently. If they want to recruit workers, they have to wait until the new workshop is prepared.

The villages where several employees live are not in the same direction. Shu Ping originally asked Huo Feng to send them one by one, but the employees were afraid of trouble, so they asked Huo Feng to take them back to the factory and ride back by themselves.

"It's still early now. We usually go back later than now when we visit relatives and have dinner. Don't worry about it. The road in our village has not been repaired and the car can't turn when it drives in."

"Yes, we are used to walking on it, so there is nothing to worry about."

Since everyone said so, Shu Ping asked Huo Feng to send them back to the factory, and she also prepared to get off the car and walk back.

"You should go back too. Go slowly on the road. I can walk back."

Huo Feng held the steering wheel with one hand and shouted to her through the car window, "You've been drinking. I'm worried about you going back alone. Wait until I stop the car and walk with you."

The roads in the village are winding and connected everywhere. Although the two do not live in the same village, he can indeed get home by taking a detour from the road in front of Shu's house. Not only did the others not think much about it, they also advised Shu Ping to listen to Huo Feng.

"Yes, Director, it's okay for us to walk by ourselves. You should let Huo Feng take you back."

They are all used to walking at night. They are old and almost forgot that the director has been spoiled since childhood and is still a young and beautiful girl. It is really not safe in the dark.

In this way, Shu Ping and Huo Feng walked together on the path of Fengxiang Village. At this time, most of the villagers have turned off the lights. In addition to the habit of going to bed and getting up early, it is also to save electricity bills and fully avoid various unnecessary family expenses.

The bicycle wheels rolled, making regular squeaking sounds in the silent night. Along with the June evening breeze, they magically created a charming atmosphere.

Usually, when the two of them went out alone to do things, Shu Ping talked more and Huo Feng mainly listened. But today, it was the other way around. Shu Ping walked quietly and let Huo Feng find topics.

Then she found that Huo Feng was the type who would surprise people if he spoke.

"I wanted to say before that you live alone and often work overtime. Even if it's only a ten minutes' walk, it's not safe. The food factory is getting better and better. It is not ruled out that it will be targeted by people with ulterior motives. Jiang Hai and Chen Yibin are definitely not an exception."

Shu Ping didn't think he was worrying too much. It was not easy for him to say this. She didn't forget how this person tried hard to keep a distance from her at the beginning.

Shu Ping was happy. She bent her lips and was about to say something when she heard him speak again.

"In fact, there were several times when you came home too late, and I was worried so I secretly followed you. Didn't you notice it once?"

"When did it happen? I didn't know anything about it."

Shu Ping didn't know whether she should be shocked that he followed her quietly to protect her, or that someone followed her without her noticing. She always thought that she was very vigilant and could rely on wisdom to turn danger into safety. Now her confidence was seriously hit.

Huo Feng showed an expression of "as expected". "This is the most dangerous. If someone is like me, or I am the one with bad intentions, what will be the consequences?"

Shu Ping burst out laughing.

She understood what Huo Feng meant, but it sounded too strange that he used himself as an analogy.

Huo Feng also noticed the ambiguity in his words and felt a little embarrassed, but seeing her happy smile, the corners of his lips curved up.

Shu Ping deliberately teased him and asked, "The consequences must be very serious. After all, I am young, beautiful and rich. Do you think I should spend money to hire a bodyguard like on TV?"

Huo Feng frowned slightly and was about to refute subconsciously. When he met Shu Ping's smiling eyebrows, he knew that he had been fooled again.

"Why spend this money in vain? I am your full-time driver. It is my job to take you home. No matter how late it is, I will take you home first before I go back."

Shu Ping pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Even the night could not block her bright eyes. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Okay, I get two times the labor with one salary. It's still a profit for me."

However, it seems that the free bodyguard Huo Feng was not angry at being enslaved by his boss, but rather enjoyed it.

The ten-minute journey was over in the blink of an eye. Shu Ping stood in front of the house and looked back at him. The moon was just above his head, and the shadows of the trees made him look even taller and more upright, with a distinct outline.

"It's too late today, so I won't invite you in. Be careful on your way back."

She was quite satisfied with their current relationship. After all, they had known each other for a short time and were not in a hurry to confirm the relationship. As long as they understood each other's intentions, it would not take long for the day to come naturally.

Anyway, in this matter, he must take the initiative to speak. This was her reserve and pride.

"Okay, remember to lock the door after you go in, and call me if you have anything, no matter what time it is."

After saying that, he stood there waiting for her to turn around first, until she closed the iron door and the lights came on in the house, and then he rode his bicycle away.

After arriving home, Shu Ping took a shower first. She was stained with the odour of cigarettes and alcohol, which was very unpleasant. She didn't like socializing, but she had to eat this meal in all aspects. Regardless of whether the loan was successfully obtained through the bank or not, she had to accept this favor.

As the saying goes, once you have one, you will have more opportunities to meet each other in the future, and such relationships must be managed and maintained.

"The loan is one million, Jiang Hai has 330,000 left to pay, and there is 220,000 in the account. It should be enough to buy land and build a workshop."

This time, Shu Ping planned to build a ham workshop. With the development of the national economy, the prospects of the fast food market are quite broad, and businessmen with vision and insight have already developed business opportunities early.

Although the competition is fierce and there are many uncertainties, Shu Ping still decided to take a gamble. In addition to being confident in her decision-making vision, she also had bread products as a backup. If it really doesn't work, she can make ham bread and sell it, so she won't lose everything.

If you want to expand your business, you still have to have this courage.
