Chapter 174 - 70: A Visit to the Company, Liu Qian Is Promoted to Chief Assistant
Once the details of the team-building event were finalized, Liu Qian finally left.
Liu Qian had barely left when Xu Shijie and the others arrived.
Jiang Li pointed to the contracts on the coffee table. "Here are the contracts. Take a look, and if there are no issues, you can sign them."
There were eight contracts in total. After confirming everything was in order, all of them signed their names in a flurry of strokes.
Once the signatures were done, Jiang Li took out the business license. "This is the business license. The four of you will each hold a 25% stake."
’She had the resources to open a separate security company for each of them, but it wasn’t necessary.’
’Their main job was to protect her and Shen Yanzhi. If they each had their own company to run, they’d probably be too swamped.’
The four men stood up in unison, bowed to Jiang Li, and said together, "Thank you, President Jiang!"
Jiang Li raised a hand, carefully studying the faces of the four men before finally pointing. "You two, go protect my husband. You two, protect me."
She kept Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan with her. Mainly because those two didn’t look quite as intimidating.
Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan nodded immediately. "Yes, President Jiang."
Shen Yanzhi returned from his phone call just in time to see Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan standing on either side of Jiang Li, flanking her and making her seem all the more petite.
He walked over and sat down beside Jiang Li. She tilted her chin toward Wang He and Fang Xu. "Ah Yan, Wang He and Fang Xu will be your protection from now on."
Shen Yanzhi looked skeptical. "Protect me?"
Jiang Li’s gaze fell on Shen Yanzhi’s bruised face. "To avoid a repeat of last night."
’Besides, by assigning two men to protect Shen Yanzhi, the system will give her a cashback reward. It’s killing two birds with one stone.’
Just as Shen Yanzhi opened his mouth to speak, she placed a finger on his lips. "No refusing!"
Meeting Jiang Li’s sparkling eyes, Shen Yanzhi felt his Adam’s apple bob. "Okay."
’Since this was her request, he naturally couldn’t refuse.’
’Although he really didn’t want people following him around whenever he went out, making him look like some kind of mobster.’
Seeing Shen Yanzhi agree, Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. Blinking her big, dewy eyes, she asked expectantly, "We have some time now. Want to go see the new offices?"
’Both offices are already renovated, and I haven’t even seen them yet.’
’Liu Qian and the others offered to send me a video, but I refused. I wanted to see it in person.’
They were barely four inches apart. For Shen Yanzhi, it was an overwhelming blast of cuteness. Who could possibly say no to that?
He turned his head away. "We can do that."
Jiang Li shot to her feet. "Let’s go, then!"
She was a woman of action—when she said go, she meant right now.
She had Xu Shijie’s group take Xie Wan’s car, while she rode with Shen Yanzhi. The two cars departed together.
Upon arriving at Yunfeng Building, they parked in the surface lot, and Jiang Li got out of the car.
She had been to this area before, but seeing the Dream Maker Hotel across from Yunfeng Building still made her exclaim in admiration, "I didn’t expect that just changing the sign and renovating would make the whole place look so much more high-end."
Shen Yanzhi nodded in agreement. An idea occurred to him. "Hey, let’s make a deal."
Jiang Li turned to look at him. "What is it?"
Shen Yanzhi replied earnestly, "From now on, my employees will stay at your hotel."
Jiang Li had expected something serious, but it was just that. "Of course! That’s not a problem at all."
Seeing how readily she agreed, Shen Yanzhi snapped his fingers. "In that case, I won’t charge you rent anymore."
The moment she heard him say he wouldn’t charge rent, Jiang Li immediately shot him down. "Absolutely not!"
’Are you kidding me? I get cashback for paying rent. It’s a win-win.’
Shen Yanzhi frowned. "Why not?"
Jiang Li’s eyes darted slyly. "I’ve got money to burn. If you don’t take my rent, then I won’t let your employees stay at my hotel... and I won’t let you into my bed."
Shen Yanzhi was unmoved by the first part of her threat.
But when he heard the second part, his eyes widened in shock. "I’ll take it! I’m taking the rent!"
’Sleeping in separate rooms? No way.’
’He was hoping to deepen his relationship with Jiang Li. How was that supposed to happen if they were sleeping apart?’
Jiang Li’s lips curled into a smirk. ’Heh, you’re no match for me.’
She patted Shen Yanzhi’s shoulder. "Good. Then it’s settled."
The two offices were on different floors, so they headed to Jiang Li’s first, which was on a lower level.
The moment they arrived at the entrance, the receptionist shot up to greet them. "Good morning, President Jiang! Good morning, Mr. Shen!"
Jiang Li was a bit surprised. She’d shown her face on her livestreams, so it made sense that the staff would recognize her as the boss.
But Shen Yanzhi had never appeared on camera. How did the receptionist know exactly who he was and address him as Mr. Shen?
The doubt in Jiang Li’s eyes must have been obvious, because the receptionist explained, "Assistant Liu showed me a photo of you and Mr. Shen beforehand."
