My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 515: Threat of Work Stoppage
Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Threat of Work Stoppage
But now she couldn’t find anyone else to help, and Shim Xiagang was the person she knew with the best prospects, apart from Lin Jingshen.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with Shim Xiagang in the first place.
She just wanted to find a temporary meal ticket before she could completely hook up with Lin Jingshen.
"You don’t plan to be just a flight attendant in the future, do you?" Lu Youzhen asked Shim Xiagang, "Your dad is a high-ranking officer, your mom is the chief purser, and both your brothers are captains. Don’t you want to prove that you are capable too, and not inferior to them?"
"Otherwise, even if they don’t say it, you will always be beneath them, which must be tough to endure. And don’t they sometimes unintentionally show their contempt for you?"
"Of course, contempt may not be the exact word, but you should get what I mean."
Shim Xiagang took a deep breath, then exhaled tightly through pursed lips.
"Just think about it, if our cooperation is successful, you’ll be the biological father of the Lin Family’s heir. Won’t you benefit from that in the future?" Lu Youzhen told Shim Xiagang.
"I’ve told you before, once the child is born, we can do a paternity test to prove the baby is yours, so you don’t have to worry about me tricking you," Lu Youzhen added.
"Okay." Shim Xiagang eventually couldn’t resist the allure of the benefits Lu Youzhen mentioned and agreed with her.

After the Spring Festival holiday ended, Lu Youxi’s hotel resumed construction, but suddenly the construction team demanded more money.
"More money?" Lu Youxi, upon hearing Zhu Yali’s report, felt an indescribable sense of speechlessness, "What is this, a trick? What extra money? Don’t they know we have a contract, and they are supposed to follow it?"
"A contract was already signed, and now they say they want more money?" Lu Youxi scoffed, "What kind of mess is this?" freewёbnoνel.com
"They’ve stopped working now," Zhu Yali said. "I plan to go to the worksite later to talk to their person in charge, to find out exactly what the issue is. They didn’t say the price was too low before, why suddenly think it’s too low now?"
"Moreover, we’ve reviewed the pricing, and while it may not be the highest in the market, it’s certainly not low, it’s a price that matches their positioning," Zhu Yali stated.
"Don’t go alone," Lu Youxi said. "It’s too dangerous for you, a young woman, to face a bunch of grown men. Those guys are rough and unruly, spending every day on the worksite, their language is far from pleasant."
"They dare to speak all sorts of harsh words," Lu Youxi continued, "If they start getting careless and get carried away, who knows what they might do."
Lu Youxi then called the company’s internal line and brought three male colleagues from the company.
Because their company rented a room in the industrial park, which came with security, they did not have their own security arranged.
Lu Youxi personally approached the industrial park’s property management and borrowed two security guards from them.
The property initially refused, saying it was against regulations.
Lu Youxi offered to employ the security temporarily and the cost would be shared between the property management and the security personnel.
If that was still unacceptable, then she would have the property contact their security company, and she would hire additional people directly from the security company.
Upon hearing this, the property management realized that their park’s security was contracted by them with a security company.
If Lu Youxi were to do as she said, all the money would go to the security company, and they wouldn’t get a cut.
They felt like they were losing out.
So they agreed, especially since it would involve dealing with a group of men.
If nothing happened, it would be fine, but should there be an incident, the security would need to exert a lot of effort.
Lu Youxi was never stingy in this regard, so she offered a rate of 800 yuan per person.
800 yuan, not even for a full day, but just for accompanying Lu Youxi out for at most two to three hours.
Let alone two to three hours, even for a whole day at this time, it was a very enticing offer, a rare good opportunity.
Even with a split between the property and the security guards, it was still a decent sum.
Lu Youxi said, "Pick a few young and strong ones for me, ones who can hold their ground if things get physical."
"I’m not asking them to fight anyone, but it’s crucial that they can protect our people," Lu Youxi added.
"How many do you need?" the property management asked, no longer hesitant but very cooperative this time.
"Five will do," along with her company’s three male colleagues, that should suffice.
She couldn’t bring an entire squad over, that would be impractical.
Just enough to make the other side wary was enough.
The property management staff took a breath, exhaling a "hiss."
Lu Youxi’s bold move, known to those who knew she was hiring security temporarily, would seem like she was wholesaling to those unaware.
"Done," the property staff nodded. For such a good deal, their park’s security would surely compete for the task.
With Lu Youxi paying so much, the property couldn’t just assign any five people to dismiss her.
Lu Youxi smiled and reminded them, "Don’t get too greedy with your cut; I still need the security to put in the effort. Don’t let it end up with them complaining about low payment if an incident actually occurs."
"I’m paying good money, I don’t want to end up unlucky," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "Right?"
The property staff understood Lu Youxi’s intention and replied, "Don’t worry, we won’t be excessive with our cut."
"Just wait here, I’ll go contact them," the property staff said. "You can listen in; you’ll rest assured. Also, if you have any other requirements, you can tell the security directly."
"Okay," Lu Youxi nodded and thanked the property staff.
The property staff made a call in front of Lu Youxi, instructing the head of the security department to send over five people, "Pick some with good physiques and strong combat abilities. I remember we have some ex-military guys around here; if he’s available today, make sure to include him."
The property staff was very conscientious and reminded, "Brother Wang, don’t just focus on those you normally get along with. No matter how good your relationship is, if they don’t meet the requirements, it won’t do. The boss is paying for real; we can’t let her money go to waste. Make sure to pick those who are up to the task."
"Maybe I’ll just find three with good builds, and the other two just tag along, okay?" Brother Wang said, "Those guys have been currying favor with me every day, hoping for a good opportunity to come their way; now that it has, I can’t just ignore them. Otherwise, who would want to work with me anymore?"
"Brother Wang, this case is really different; it’s not an opportunity found by our property, but personally sought after by the boss with specific requirements," the property staff said. "Forget about your personal relations and just choose the useful ones. In a few days, an anime company in our park is holding an event; they’ll also need people and will pay extra. Then you can pick your guys. We absolutely won’t interfere."
"After all, this involves the boss’s personal safety, we have to take it seriously," the property employee urged. "Explain it well to your guys; they will surely understand."
