My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 519: Dug Up a Talent

Boss Qiu couldn’t hide his smugness, "You better decide quickly, otherwise every day you lose is money out of your pocket."

"I understand," Lu Youxi nodded. freewebnøvel.com

After leading his team away, Boss Qiu did not follow them.

Zhu Yali breathed a sigh of relief, originally thinking this visit would turn chaotic, perhaps even violent.

Yet they managed to leave without any trouble.

Once they left the construction site and sat in the car, everyone finally relaxed.

As the driver started the car, Lu Youxi turned to the retired elder brother, "Brother, I haven’t asked your name yet?"

"My name is Yan Daochong," Yan Daochong spoke with a strong northern accent.

Probably due to his long military service, his face bore a natural simplicity, one that hinted at straightforwardness and honesty.

"You never mentioned what branch of the military you served in," Lu Youxi asked again.

Yan Daochong hurriedly said, "President Lu, you don’t need to be so formal with me; I was in the infantry."

Yan Daochong insisting that she need not be so formal, Lu Youxi dropped the honorifics, "I heard from the property person that your father was ill, so you didn’t take up a specialized role and chose a one-time subsidy instead. How is your father’s health now?"

Yan Daochong smiled and said, "Fortunately, he has overcome the tough times, and he’s quite healthy now."

"That’s good," Lu Youxi said, "By the way, how many years did you sign with the security company?"

"We don’t really have multi-year contracts here, just temporary ones," Yan Daochong said with a rueful smile, "The boss can fire me whenever he wishes."

"Can you drive?" Lu Youxi asked.

"Yes, we learned in the military," Yan Daochong replied.

Lu Youxi handed Yan Daochong a business card, "I saw that you are quite capable and react quickly. Would you be interested in working for our company?"

Yan Daochong, surprised, said, "You want me to work as a security guard at your company?"

Lu Youxi chuckled, "To be my driver, actually. I wonder if you’d accept the job?"

"Don’t you have drivers already?" Yan Daochong noticed the driver in front currently seemed very nervous about whether he might lose his job, as he frequently glanced back through the rearview mirror after hearing Lu Youxi’s words.

"He drives for my colleagues at the company. We often need vehicles for visiting construction sites and handling business," Lu Youxi explained, "But I need a personal driver."

"Of course, not just as a driver. I saw you handle yourself well, so I’d like you to double as a bodyguard," Lu Youxi clarified to Yan Daochong, "We often go to construction sites, and although it’s not often dangerous, it’s always good to be prepared for emergencies."

"So if you can join the company, besides being my driver, when my colleagues and I go to construction sites, you can also come along," Lu Youxi continued, "You don’t know how reassuring it was when you stood in front of us earlier."

"Being my driver won’t require driving all the time, nor will you have to act as a bodyguard every day. If we looked at either job separately, the workload really isn’t that much. And as you know, our company isn’t big enough to hire two full-time drivers yet, which is why I hope you can take on both roles. But I assure you, even combining both jobs, the overall workload still won’t be too heavy. It will certainly be less than your current job as a security guard. And, of course, the pay will definitely be better."

"If you’re interested, why don’t you come back to the office with us and we can discuss it in detail?" Lu Youxi suggested.

"Plus, being a driver and bodyguard, accompanying me or my colleagues on business trips, you’ll get to understand our day-to-day operations. If you think you can handle it, you could even switch roles later on. Marketing, for instance, could earn you more than being a driver or bodyguard. However, it still depends on your capabilities and career growth, which I can’t fully guarantee."

If Yan Daochong truly wasn’t up for the job, her promises would be moot.

In fact, the promise of higher pay than his security job was enough for Yan Daochong to decide to accept the offer.

And Lu Youxi was right, it would definitely be much easier than being a security guard.

He had been a security guard in an industrial park enduring the elements year-round, patrolling the park.

It was cold in the winter and the security uniform was terribly hot in the summer.

Being Lu Youxi’s driver would at least keep him from the harshness of the weather.

Accompanying colleagues to construction sites wasn’t an everyday occurrence.

Besides, if college graduates could handle it, so could he.

Afraid that Lu Youxi might change her mind, Yan Daochong quickly said, "I accept."

Lu Youxi smiled, "Okay, let’s head back to the office later and discuss your salary. Then you can go handle your resignation and get ready to start working for us."

The other four security guards who came along looked at Yan Daochong with envy.

He was about to be office-bound.

They would still be out in the elements.

Once everyone returned to the industrial park, Lu Youxi made a trip to the property management company to explain the day’s events.

Although there was no physical confrontation, it had been a close call, especially with Yan Daochong protecting everyone.

As they had undergone quite the ordeal accompanying them to the construction site, she asked the property management to give them a bit extra.

The five who had gone were very grateful to Lu Youxi.

She didn’t have to mention it, but she made a point of doing so, enabling them to earn a bit more.

Clearly, Lu Youxi was a boss who didn’t shortchange her people.

Such generosity made the other four envious of Yan Daochong even more.

Yan Daochong hadn’t even discussed salary with Lu Youxi when he resigned on the spot.

The property management staff were astounded.

What had happened on that trip?

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "I see Yan Daochong as a real talent, so I wanted to recruit him to our company. Sorry for poaching your staff."

They weren’t short of staff anyway, with low requirements and ease of recruitment for security positions.

So, they agreed to Yan Daochong’s resignation without delay.

Yan Daochong followed Lu Youxi back to the company, where they finalized his wage.

After completing his resignation, he was ready to start working at Youshu Real Estate.

Yan Daochong thanked them profusely before leaving, and then Lu Youxi told Zhu Yali, "Go and find out why Boss Qiu suddenly became demanding and insisted on raising the price. Mainly check who he has been in contact with recently."

"He had been cooperative before, but now his attitude has changed abruptly, and he’s being very arrogant, as if he’s very confident, which is really strange," Lu Youxi said, "Maybe he’s received some promise, and that’s why he dared to turn against me outright. Otherwise, why pass up good money and stir up trouble?"
