In reality, these retired special forces, led by Lei Hu, were all working for a security company that Zhou Hao had specially established. Their wages and benefits were also given out through this security company.
Zhou Hao's security company was called "Pluto security company".
Lei Hu was the general manager of "Pluto Protection Company".
Of course, Lei Hu was only responsible for the distribution of the security personnel in the company, and gave out the various tasks according to Zhou Hao's instructions.
Although Lei Hu had received strict training as a commander when he was in the army, he had a lot of experience in assigning missions. But Pluto, after all, operates in the form of a business, unlike the management of special forces.
For example, the company's financial affairs could torture this burly man, Lei Hu, to the point that he wished he were dead.
Thus, under Zhao Dingzhou's wiring, Zhou Hao found a few military enterprises who were proficient in management methods to help manage "Pluto Protection Company".
Therefore, Lei Hu was only carrying the title of the general manager, and did not do things as the general manager. Instead, he would even personally carry out missions at the front lines from time to time.
Within Pluto Protection Company, other than the more than 100 retired special forces led by Lei Hu, the rest were core members.
There were also close to a thousand retired soldiers of the regular army acting as ordinary employees, helping Zhou Hao's Heavenly River Drink Group, Polaris Media Group and's Tongguang and Diet Company to take up the protection work.
This company costed Zhou Hao close to a hundred million yuan every year, and it did not make any profit.
However, Zhou Hao didn't feel that it was a pity at all.
Just as he had initially thought, with the rapid growth of the various companies under his command, they would definitely arouse the greed of others. Although Zhou Hao had Zhao Family as a backer, he still needed some 'professionals' to do some unshakeable things.
Most of the people in the special forces had experience in carrying out secret missions, so they were naturally the best candidates.
As for the woman beside Zhou Hao, he was the daughter of the Zhao Family, and was under the special protection of the logistics personnel of the Department of National Security. Yang Jiabao herself was not weak either, she had enough strength to protect herself.
Other than the two of them, Li Ruolan, Yan Qing and the other girls had three female soldiers protecting them in the dark.
The three female soldiers would protect them 24 hours a day. If an unexpected situation occurred, they would immediately inform Pluto's HQ while protecting them. They would have their comrades in the vicinity go to support them.
And some female soldiers would even integrate into the lives around them to better protect them. For example, one of the female soldiers in charge of protecting Li Ruolan soon advanced into the Yining Middle School and became a sports teacher.
Li Ruolan and the others naturally did not know about this. Firstly, Zhou Hao did not want them to think that he was monitoring them, and secondly, he did not want them to worry.
The one who reported to Lei Hu that Li Ruolan had been bullied was the female soldier who had become a physical education teacher.
"What the hell is going on? How did she get bullied?" Zhou Hao sat in the back seat and asked Lei Hu.
Lei Hu, who had sharp senses, could feel that Zhou Hao was faintly angry. He knew that his boss was an unfathomable expert, even after going all out, he had only withstood two of Zhou Hao's attacks.
Therefore, Lei Hu, who normally would only make people feel fear, felt that Zhou Hao was actually the most terrifying.
He said, "Boss, this is what happened.
Teacher Li had a kind heart. She had donated tens of millions of yuan to Xiang City and Children's Welfare Institute one after another for the past half year.
However, she had recently discovered that the money she had donated didn't go to the orphanage at all, nor did the children in the orphanage get any benefits.
All of this money has been given to Greed by the Civil Affairs Bureau under various names. "
Lei Hu's tone was filled with indignation. In the past, when he was in the military, he could be considered to be in the system, so he had some knowledge about certain things.
Most of the time, some donations in the society had been heavily exploited until there was not much that could be truly implemented. This made those who wanted to do good give up.
Zhou Hao was not too surprised by this situation. In his previous life, there were even people who dared to donate all walks of life to the calamity zone to steal money. One could see that some people's greed was truly at a monstrous level.
What surprised Zhou Hao was that Li Ruolan had actually donated so much money.
In fact, it was not just Li Ruolan, Zhao Yuqin and the others who were helping Zhou Hao to manage the company, even Yan Qing, Wang Xijun and Situ Jianying had opened a secret account for them, which contained tens of millions of yuan in it.
Although these girls did not fall in love with Zhou Hao because of money, Zhou Hao thought that since he had the ability, then of course he had to let the people he cared about live a better life.
Their parents did not know about the money, so as not to scare them.
Li Ruolan's father, Li Chufan, was the manager of the technical development department of the Milky Way Drink Company.
Li Ruolan's own salary was enough for her to spend, so she did not use the tens of millions that Zhou Hao had saved for her.
Lei Hu continued to speak: "Teacher Li knew that in the future, he would be very angry, so he went over to the Civil Affairs Bureau to argue, but was kicked out by the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
From Xia Qing's report, that head of the Civil Affairs Bureau spoke rudely to Teacher Li, saying that an ordinary middle school teacher of the Teacher Li was actually able to donate a huge amount of money to the orphanage. Those were obviously black money.
He also said that if Teacher Li dares to continue pestering him, she will be sent to prison. "
The Xia Qing that he mentioned should be that female soldier who was protecting Li Ruolan.
Although Zhou Hao did not say anything, Lei Hu felt the pressure from his body become even stronger, as if a tiger was staring at him from the back.
"After that, Teacher Li went to the municipal government to complain, but that bureau chief also seemed to have a backer, so the people in the municipal government didn't accept it.
Xia Qing said that because of this matter, Teacher Li has been feeling very depressed these past few days. " Lei Hu said.
Zhou Hao was deeply moved, previously when he was talking with Li Ruolan on the phone, Li Ruolan had not mentioned anything about this matter, and her tone did not sound sad at all. Now, it seemed that she did not want to worry him.
Lei Hu said: "Xia Qing and the others had wanted to teach that Bureau Chief of the Civil Affairs a lesson.
But from what I see, although that guy is hateful, he's still a member of the government. If we don't handle this properly, it might implicate the Teacher Li, so I wanted to tell this matter to you, boss. "
Zhou Hao nodded his head: "Since that bureau chief dares to snatch the donation, then he is definitely not a official cleaner.
Find out and get me all the evidence of his wrongdoing.
Weren't you guys good at investigating in the past? This matter should be as easy as flipping your hand. "
"Boss, even if we are 'skilled', we are not on active duty now. The other party is an official, and they are notorious for being unreasonable. This … this isn't good, right?" Lei Hu said hesitantly.
"Pah! Stop putting on an act for me!" Zhou Hao glared at him fiercely: "If he isn't a soldier, then how did you get that hoodlum killed last time?"
There was an unscrupulous hoodlum who was going to screw a dancer in the North Star and was discovered by Pluto's security team.
After reporting to Lei Hu, who happened to be there on business, Lei Hu immediately had his subordinates beat the hoodlum to death.
They were all professionals in that field, so after finishing the job, they didn't leave a single trace behind.
The hoodlum's death was still an unsolved case at the local police station, and after a long investigation, the local police had finally come to an end.
"Investigate how many mistresses that guy has and how much money he has. Find out. I will bear the burden if anything happens." Zhou Hao sneered.
Lei Hu straightened his body and respectfully said: "Understood, Chief!"
Even the chairman and prime minister had met him before, a mere bureau chief of a Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, in Zhou Hao's eyes, was nothing but a small fry.
Very quickly, Zhou Hao returned to his home in the Lakeview Manor. However, to his surprise, Yan Tong, Yan Qing and Wang Xijun's family were all not present, and the two rooms were completely empty.
With that in mind, Zhou Hao called Yan Tong on his cell phone, and he heard Yan Tong saying: "Xiao Hao, why did you return to Xiang City? We thought you were coming back after one.
Xijun's family went to her hometown to celebrate New Year, and I followed Qing Qing to visit Huayu Village. I think we will need to wait until the sixth day of the new year to go back. "
Zhou Hao did not come back with him from Beijing. Yang Jiabao went back to Guangxi, Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing were both in Hong Kong, while Situ Jianying went to her mother's hometown, Shanghai.
In this way, he would be the only one left in the Xiang City.
"If I knew this would happen, I might as well have stayed in Beijing with my sister." Zhou Hao wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Then, he called Li Ruolan: "Sister Lan, where are you?"
"Me? I'm at the Xiang City, and am with my parents, right at the Wan Luo District. " Li Ruolan said over the phone.
Wan Luo District was the house Zhou Hao bought for Li Chufan and his wife. However, Li Chufan would usually study and develop at the Heavenly River Workshop in Huayu Village, and presumably would only be back during the Spring Festival to reunite with Li Ruolan and his mother.
"Then I'll head over immediately. It's been a long time since I've seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Zhou Hao laughed.
"Who is your father-in-law or mother-in-law? You don't know shame." Li Ruolan said shyly on the phone, but her voice was also excited, after all, she missed Zhou Hao a lot.
