Chapter 314 (2/2)

“Whatever for?” snapped Yi Lianyan, sulking.

“Well, you can work for me and become one of my people after you graduate from University if you want to. The salary will definitely be better than the outside too,” said Tang Xiu.

Yi Lianyan rolled her eyes and snorted, “Humph… This young lady doesn’t lack money. Unless you give me annual salary, wanting me to stay here is useless.”

“Alright. I’ll give you an annual salary of 300 thousand yuan with a probationary period of three years. Should you show a good performance in those three years, I’ll double it. Likewise, your salary in later years will have to see the level of economic consumption in the outside world. Plus, if you can work here for over five years and eventually agree to work for me forever, I’ll also gift you something.”

300 thousand? And then it would be doubled… to 600 thousand?

Though Yi Lianyan knew that Tang Xiu was rich, she had never thought that he would give her such a high treatment. One must know that even those major companies’ white-collars in the country didn’t have such a high income.

“What gift?”

“You are not entitled to know about it for now,” said Tang Xiu as he shook his head.

Yi Lianyan frowned, “The salary you offered is really good, but I still need to study for four years in University. Who knows what will happen in the future? Anyways, forget it. Let’s talk about this later.”

“There’s no hurry. Think about it well and tell me after you have considered it,” said Tang Xiu with a nod.

Yi Lianyan chuckled, “If I agree now, can you pay me a year of salary in advance?”

“Nope,” Tang Xiu shook head and said, “If you don’t pay, never will you be able to make a return. If you want it, you gotta have decided that you’ll work for me for a lifetime and, after that, you can come here on vacation too. The salary will be 10 thousand a month.”

“Boss Tang– nope, Big Boss Tang, you’re really like Zhou the exploiter eh? [1] Alright, I’m full. I’ll leave these plates and bowls for you to clean.”

Tang Xiu smiled and shook his head. After washing the plates and all the tableware, someone’s figure quickly appeared beside him. It was Mo Āwen, who whispered to him, “Boss, Wolf Head is back. And he brought a lot of men.”

“How many?” asked Tang Xiu in amazement and slanted brows.

“Almost thirty,” said Mo Awen.

After wiping and cleaning his hands, Tang Xiu then replied, “Alright, let’s go and see.”

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu saw Wolf Head in the square outside the castle. Standing behind him, three rows of big strong men stood in line. They were all shaved flat, wearing military vests and looking grim and cold.

“Boss!”

Wolf Head respectfully shouted.

Nodding to him in response, Tang Xiu said, “They are the veterans you’ve found after more than a month?”

“That’s right. I spent quite a lot of effort finding them, and some of them I can’t even beat. Also, boss, if you want to take them in, you gotta show your own ability,” said Wolf Head.

The corner of Tang Xiu’s lips tightened while sending off a sort of provocation look in his eyes. He then waved to Wolf Head, hinting at him to come to his side.

Afterward, he stood in front of all the thirty men, chuckled and said, “You think I’m not qualified to be your boss after you met me, eh?”

“Yes!”

Orderly and loud voices replied to him.

Tang Xiu clapped and applauded as he exclaimed in praise, “Your voices are loud, clear, and full of spirit. Also, your footsteps are steady. You’re all evidently not some average layman. Were you all to be trained well, you’ll be able to be good subordinates. Yet, why did you come over with Wolf Head if you’re not satisfied and refuse to accept me?”

“Report!”

A slender, grim-looking big man shouted loudly.

“It’s not the army here, nor are you a soldier at the moment, so you don’t have keep this up. If you want to say something, then say it!” said Tang Xiu.

The grim big guy replied loudly, “We came here because we’re curious as to why this unruly wild wolf—Wolf Head accepted to become someone else’s pawn? Hence, it piqued our curiosity. We want to see what sort of powerful person you are. If you can’t satisfy us, we’ll leave.”

While looking at the other men, Tang Xiu then asked in a deep tone, “Are all of you also of the same mind?”

“Yes!”

The other 29 men shouted in unison.

Raising his thumb up, Tang Xiu exclaimed and praised, “What good men! In that case, I’ll play with you. Come! All 30 of you.”

The big man sneered, “You’re arrogant, way too arrogant. No need to take all the thirty of us, for I myself am enough to knock you down.”

Having said that, he walked out of the crowd.
