One year's salary in advance? Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Honestly speaking, considering Ye Chen's current wealth, he definitely wouldn't care about a mere 1.5 million.
But what puzzled him was that the other party didn't say a few words at the beginning and asked for an advance of one year's salary.
Not to mention that he is not yet rich enough to rival a country.
Even if he was really as rich as a country, even if he really had too much money to spend, he would not agree to it without saying a word.
"Can I ask what's going on?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
Wang Meng fell silent.
I saw his cheeks moving. He was clenching his teeth.
But after a short moment.
He finally gave up resisting the answer.
"Mr. Ye, as you said, since you already know about my situation from Lao Qi, you should know how I was expelled from the army! The hostages who were killed by me by mistake, their families are in trouble now. Before this, I tried my best but it was just a drop in the bucket. Now, I want to help them out of their predicament, and it is also my atonement and confession!" Wang Meng looked a little painful.
Although from a practical point of view, he could not be blamed for the accidental killing. After all, he did everything he could. It was only the sudden struggle of the hostage that led to the tragedy.
But no matter what, he still took everything on himself, and his heart was always filled with indelible debt and guilt.
So, after receiving Qi Quan's call, he immediately agreed.
He needs money to help the person who has become miserable because of him.
After hearing Wang Meng's explanation.
A trace of respect suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
He immediately asked, "Is one and a half million enough?
"That's enough!
I thought the other party would frown and weigh the pros and cons or even refuse. But I didn't expect Ye Chen to not even consider it.
After a moment of confusion, Wang Meng swallowed his throat and said.
"Okay, give me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you later!" Ye Chen said. "Thank you!" Wang Meng said, moving his throat twice.
In response to this thank you, Ye Chen smiled and shook his head without comment.
Then he said, "Wang Meng, if I say I want to set up a top security consulting company, can you help me?"
"A security consulting company? Like Blackwater?" Wang Meng frowned for a moment, "Does my answer have to do with whether I can get a year's salary in advance?
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Even if you say I can't help, I will still do the advance payment as agreed! The reason I asked you this is that I intend to build a top security consulting company. If you can help, that would be the best. If you think you can't help, then I will definitely not force you!" Ye Chen shook his head and explained.
Wang Meng fell into silence again.
Then he asked with a complicated expression, "What do you mean by help?"
"Recruit soldiers and coordinate training. Captain Qi told me that you were a member of the special operations team, so I believe in your abilities! In addition, you can call those comrades who have left the army over. As long as they are willing to follow me, I, Ye Chen, will never treat them unfairly! Annual salary starting from one million!" Ye Chen said.
That's all.
Wang Meng frowned and was about to say something.
Ye Chen said again, "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything illegal. You were a soldier, or you used to be a soldier, so I won't let you break the principles of being a soldier. Of course... I won't give up my good life and test the law!"
Wang Meng did not answer immediately.
Instead, he stared into Ye Chen's eyes for a few seconds.
Then he asked, "What do you want to do by opening such a company?"
"Didn't I tell you? Build a top security consulting company! As far as our country is concerned, there is no respectable security consulting company. It is completely incomparable with those overseas security consulting companies, let alone Blackwater! So, after experiencing the kidnapping of my daughter, I had this idea!" Ye Chen said.
"I'll ask for you later to see if there are any retired comrades willing to join!" Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Chen smiled and patted Wang Meng's shoulder, then asked curiously, "Can you tell me the origin of the scar on your face?"
"It was my third year in the special operations team. When I was arresting an armed caravan of drug dealers on the border, I ran out of bullets and engaged in close combat with the enemy. I was pinned down by those miscellaneous daggers!" Wang Meng said frankly without hiding anything.
"If you keep using the flawless cream for a period of time, it should be able to fade. Is it necessary?" Ye Chen asked with awe.
Little did he know that Wang Meng shook his head.
"No need! This scar can always remind me that I was once a soldier, a special operations soldier. It may be ugly in your eyes, but to me, it is a medal of honor! On the day when this scar was left, I personally killed twenty-seven drug dealers!" Wang Meng said loudly.
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking.
For a moment, Ye Chen didn't know what to say.
It seems that all language is pale in comparison to Wang Meng's narration.
While he was speechless, his cell phone rang again.
"Hey, Jingshan!"
"Brother Ye, where are you? Didn't I tell you last night that I would help you find a group of bodyguards? Changfeng and I have found about ten of them, including a few women. Where do you think we should meet?" said Zhang Jingshan on the other end.
"Anywhere is fine, just find a place!" Ye Chen said.
"Okay, let's go to the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base and let them show their skills. If you think they are capable, then use them. If not, then forget it!" Zhang Jingshan said.
"What's the background?" Ye Chen thought about it and felt that it was necessary to ask first.
"Three provincial Sanda champions, several traditional martial arts practitioners, and some with military service! Their backgrounds are all very clean, otherwise we wouldn't dare to invite those people, right?" Zhang Jingshan grinned.
"Okay, send me your location, I'll be there right away. I want to talk to you about Youyou's transfer to another school. It's better to be safe than sorry. I want to transfer Youyou to a school with a higher level of personal safety!" Ye Chen said.
"About transferring Youyou to another school, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Honestly, given your current situation, it's really inappropriate for Youyou to stay in a school of the level of Bauhinia Kindergarten!" Zhang Jingshan said.
"Well, let's talk about this when we meet. Send me the location!" Ye Chen said.
It took less than a few seconds to hang up the phone.
Zhang Jingshan immediately sent the location.
Ye Chen looked at Wang Meng and said, "Wang Meng, come with me!"
"good!"
No asking where to go, no asking what to do.
Although I have never been a bodyguard.
But with his military style in mind, Wang Meng immediately got into the role.
Following Ye Chen's smile, he immediately followed him out.
