Chapter 121 Dividing Money

Upon seeing the friend request from Song Henian, Wang Chao immediately put down his raised leg, sat up straight, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

Song Henian!

He was Wang Chao's best friend in high school, and they had a close relationship. They went to school and went home together, and even wore the same pair of pants in their dormitory.

When Wang Chao offended some people and was being chased, it was Song Henian who stepped forward and took a stab for him, saving his life.

Now, seeing Song Henian adding him as a friend, Wang Chao was thrilled and immediately accepted the request.

As soon as they became friends, Wang Chao sent a message: "Brother, how have the past eight years been for you?"

About a minute later, Song Henian replied: "So-so. How about you? How have you been overseas? Are you doing well?"

"I've experienced hell on earth overseas, almost had my kidney stolen, and barely survived. Now, things are relatively better." Wang Chao replied promptly.

He didn't hide anything from his best friend and even wanted to pour his heart out.

He recounted his experiences when he first went abroad.

He was sold to a hellish place by a heartless captain, where he had to sell blood every day. If he resisted, he would be beaten and tortured, with injuries all over his body, and he couldn't eat enough every day.

Looking back, Wang Chao found it hard to bear these memories.

That was the darkest time in his life!

Especially when he was locked in a dog cage and was about to have his kidney harvested for organ trafficking, he felt the most desperate and hopeless moment in his life, surrounded by darkness that seemed to swallow him whole. Even now, just thinking about it gave him chills.

It was precisely because of the suffering and despair he had experienced that Wang Chao was deeply grateful to his master who had saved him, and he would do whatever his master said.

If his master told him to go east, he would never go west.

He had always kept these experiences buried deep in his heart and never shared them with anyone else.

Now, chatting with his best friend, he couldn't hold back and poured his heart out.

After listening to Wang Chao's story, Song Henian remained silent for a long time.

"Don't talk too much, bro. Long time no see. Let's meet through WeChat video first."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chao directly opened the video call.

It had been eight years since they last met, and he had already forgotten what his brother, Song Henian, looked like. He was eager to see Song Henian's current appearance.

However, Song Henian refused the video call, saying, "I'm at work, it's not convenient. Let's meet tonight and have a drink as brothers."

"Alright, see you tonight."

Wang Chao looked at his WeChat and realized that Song Henian hadn't replied for a long time. He put his phone away, feeling excited.

Over the years, besides missions, all he had was missions. Even within the mercenary group, he didn't have many close friends.

There were too many despair, sadness, grief, and frustration piled up in his heart, with no one to confide in.

Now that he had returned to Canton City, he felt that he had finally found someone he could talk to.

Moreover, besides Song Henian, his brother Pei Donghu would also be attending the gathering, which made him even more excited.

He put away his phone and whistled happily.

"Minister Wang, you seem to be in a good mood?"

At this moment, Little Wang walked in.

"I have some good news." Wang Chao smiled.

"What good news?"

"My stocks went up!"

"Minister Wang, you still invest in stocks? How much did you earn? Can you let me invest with you?"

As soon as Little Wang heard Wang Chao mention stocks, his eyes lit up.

Wang Chao didn't expect Little Wang to take his words seriously, so he could only say, "I've been studying it for many days. Our company's stocks are about to soar, and it's very likely to double!"

Upon hearing this, Little Wang frowned slightly and said, "Minister Wang, don't joke around. Our company's stock price just went from 20 to 40, which is already a peak. How could it continue to rise in the short term?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Wang Chao remained calm, and after some thought, he took out 6,000 yuan from his wallet and placed it on the table, saying, "By the way, please inform everyone for me that I have an appointment tonight and cannot treat everyone to dinner."

"So, you can distribute this money to everyone, 200 yuan each, consider it as my treat."

Apart from him and He Xingdong, the security department had 30 employees, so 6,000 yuan was exactly 200 yuan per person.

"Thank you, Minister Wang." Little Wang was overjoyed.

"Remember, make sure to give everyone their share, without leaving anyone out." Wang Chao emphasized.

"What about Chen Yong..." Little Wang hesitated.

He remembered that Chen Yong and Wang Chao had some grievances.

"Everyone gets a share!" Wang Chao emphasized.

"Understood."

Little Wang nodded and walked out with the money, feeling even more admiration for Wang Chao.

To be able to give money to subordinates with whom he had grievances, without holding any grudges, showed a much broader-mindedness than He Xingdong.

"Come over here, Minister Wang has something to do today and can't treat everyone to dinner. To make up for it, everyone will receive a 200 yuan allowance each."

Little Wang gathered everyone together and distributed the money one by one, 200 yuan each.

"Hahaha, Minister Wang is a great leader and so generous!"

"Not bad, not bad, I can tell at first glance that Minister Wang is not an ordinary person."

"I have great admiration for Minister Wang, like the surging waters of a river, endless and overwhelming."

"To follow Minister Wang, is to have real money, how wonderful."

All the security guards who received the money burst into laughter, praising Wang Chao and expressing their excitement.

Although 200 yuan was not much, it brought smiles to everyone's faces at the scene.

They have been under He Xingdong's leadership for so long, but He Xingdong is too stingy. He has never treated them to a meal, and even deducted their wages. He always rides on their heads and acts domineering.

Now, Wang Chao took office for less than a day and directly gave each of them 200 yuan.

This is real money!

Genuine benefits!

So, after receiving the money, Wang Chao's image in their hearts quickly elevated, becoming a wise and mighty figure.

In a corner, Chen Yong and the other two security guards looked at the 200 yuan in their hands, feeling complicated.

They have had conflicts with Wang Chao before, but now he's giving them money?

"What does Wang Chao mean? Is he trying to buy us?" one security guard looked displeased.

"Just 200 yuan and he thinks he can buy us? This is insulting!" another security guard gritted his teeth, feeling unhappy.

Chen Yong looked at the 200 yuan in his hand, silent and struggling in his heart.

Time reveals a person's true nature!

He has followed He Xingdong for so long, but it's hard to get any benefits from this greedy boss He Xingdong, who often scolds them.

If it weren't for the sake of promotion and salary increase, and for Shen Dongshan's sake, he would have fallen out with He Xingdong long ago.

But Wang Chao is different.

Despite having conflicts with them before, Wang Chao treated them equally when treating them to dinner, still giving them money without discrimination.

Moreover, Wang Chao is capable, strong in ability, and has the support of Shen Bing and Liu Yifei.

From a long-term perspective, it seems more promising to follow Wang Chao.

He is brainstorming and thinking whether it's better to have a promising future with Wang Chao or with He Xingdong, and he is caught in a dilemma and struggle, not knowing who to follow.

But one thing that is certain is that his hatred towards Wang Chao has decreased, and his position has started to waver.
