Chapter 179: Chapter 177: Seeking Help for a Matter

Because the compensation was very generous, as soon as the recruitment notice went out, many girls came to apply.

However, most of them were girls trying to ascend the ranks through their looks, which Long Chen found unimpressive.

After interviewing over fifty people, Long Chen picked nine.

Among them, five were assigned to the kitchen, and four to the finance department.

The four in the finance department had all graduated in accounting, were attractive, quick to respond, and sharp-witted.

And of the five in the kitchen, two had a culinary background, while the other three were kitchen hands.

But they were quite happy and didn’t feel the slightest bit aggrieved.

Because according to their compensation, even the kitchen hands earned a monthly salary of fifteen thousand.

At this point, the framework of the company had essentially been established.

And the most crucial step was to register the company.

For Long Chen, this presented no difficulty at all.

He simply made a call to the City Lord, who personally contacted the relevant departments to expedite the process, and it was quickly settled.

As night fell, Long Chen informed his group of the company’s location.

At this time, inside the company group, it was as if a pot had exploded.

Because with the addition of nine beauties, all the single guys were excited, flirting like crazy.

But the nine girls were rather aloof, responding indifferently and not giving these guys any face.

Long Chen watched the group’s activities, and just as it was about to go silent, he suddenly started giving out red packets.

Red packets of two hundred each, and Long Chen crazily sent out fifty of them.

"Boss is mighty."

"President Long is awesome."

"Long bro, you’re my idol."

"Long brother, I can help you massage your back and rub your feet," a beauty cooed in a voice message.

"Brother, I can warm your bed."

The previously indifferent beauties suddenly became lively.

This made those single guys green with envy.

But Long Chen remained very aloof, only sending a message telling everyone to rest early and report early, then said no more.

"What are you looking at? Your phone has been buzzing nonstop, what mischief are you up to?"

Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan both approached, smiling as they looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing much, I just started a new company, chatting with the people from the new company."

"Ah? What new company?"

Both women perked up with interest.

"A security company, not a big investment, just testing the waters," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Security companies can actually be quite interesting. For instance, in the future, if your company’s people become bodyguards for some celebrity or personal guards for some financial tycoon, the compensation won’t be simple," Zhao Churan said.

"Let’s try it out first, I still don’t know the situation," Long Chen said.

"Can you manage it all? The Elixir Medicine Factory needs you, and now you’ve started a security company, can you keep up with both?" Li Yuechan was somewhat worried about Long Chen’s schedule.

Long Chen smiled and said, "I should be fine. By the way, Yuechan, has your mother contacted you?"

"Once she got the money, why would she care about me, sigh."

Li Yuechan sighed.

"Don’t you have any questions you want to ask her? About your biological father, for instance, she must know something. We just gave her eighty million, if you ask her now, maybe she’ll tell you the truth," Long Chen said.

"Should I give her a call and try?"

Li Yuechan looked at Long Chen.

"Go ahead," Long Chen said.

Li Yuechan nodded, not dawdling at all, and immediately called Han Min.

After the call connected, Li Yuechan made small talk for a bit before getting to the heart of the matter.

But no sooner had she posed her question than Han Min immediately made an excuse and hung up the phone.

This left Li Yuechan feeling rather helpless.

"Sister, it’s no use; she’s never going to tell you the truth. You’ll have to think of another way."

Li Yuexin had just come out from a shower, rubbing her wet hair with a towel.

With Long Chen’s help, Li Yuexin had completely emerged from the shadows.

"Oh well, I’ll see if I get a chance to find out in the future. I believe that one day, the truth will come out—it’s not something to rush."

Li Yuechan said with a bitter smile.

...

Little did she know that at that very moment, Han Min was meeting with Chu Ling in a teahouse.

"Was that a call from Yuechan?"

Chu Ling asked Han Min.

"Um, yes." Han Min didn’t dare to look at Chu Ling, whispering, "What is the meaning of your visit to Qianzhou this time? Are you planning to take Yuechan away?"

"I won’t take her away for now, nor will I recognize her, so you don’t need to worry." Chu Ling said with a faint smile.

Han Min stole glances at Chu Ling.

The man, graceful and handsome—even past fifty, he hadn’t lost a bit of his charm.

After more than twenty years without seeing him, she found that she still felt an uncontrollable attraction to him.

"How many children do you have now?"

Han Min asked quietly.

"That’s none of your concern. What I want to ask you is why you would choose to marry a loser like Li Shiqi?"

Chu Ling stared at Han Min, his eyes suddenly sharp.

Han Min bit her lip and said, "He’s not a loser; he’s been good to me."

"Oh, is that so? I’ve looked into it, and Li Shiqi is nothing but a coward. If things really came to a head, I fear you’d be the first thing he’d discard.

And besides, a man who knows his wife is unfaithful yet still tolerates it—I consider such a man hardly worth mentioning."

Chu Ling spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Han Min’s face flushed red.

She knew that if this man wished to investigate, there would be nothing that could escape his sight.

"You don’t have to panic. In fact, I still have some lingering feelings for you. If you’re willing, I’ll come back for you and Yuechan in two months to take you to Imperial City. That’s all I have to say. Think it over, and give me a call if you decide. My number hasn’t changed.

Oh, and regarding Long Chen, I don’t like him very much. Think of a way to drive him away from Yuechan’s side, and remember not to tell Yuechan I was here, or everything is off. You know I’m a man of my word."

After saying this, he got up and left the teahouse.

Han Min was ecstatic, never expecting the only man she had ever deeply loved to suddenly treat her so kindly.

She was completely unaware that this was merely part of Chu Ling’s plot to stabilize her.

After calming her excitement, Han Min’s fingers still trembled with emotion.

With Chu Ling’s support, she felt there was nobody in the whole world she couldn’t face.

However, she knew that driving Long Chen away while Chu Ling was not around would require some maneuvering.

After some thought, Han Min pulled up a number and dialed it.

As soon as the call connected, Han Min cooed, "Ninth Master, are you free tonight?"

"If someone else was asking, I’d definitively be busy, but if Minmin is asking, of course, I’m free. What? Miss me?" Ninth Master chuckled.

"Yes, Ninth Master, let’s meet tonight."

"Meet we can, but you have to promise to take good care of Ninth Master."

"Tease, let’s talk about it when we meet," Han Min flirted.

"Ha ha, I bet you’re in need of a favor, right? Alright, I’ll grant you an audience. Come over tonight."

"Indeed, your servant girl needs to ask a favor; I’ll come over later, then."
