At those words, not just Shen Shan, but everyone present was stunned.
Wasn't this person looking for a top-tier bodyguard?
Why did he look for a cleaner?
One of the black bodyguards cursed out loud, "This is an insult! An insult to us!"
"Exactly!"
Another white man echoed in broken Chinese, "You, you don't even know what a top bodyguard is!"
"To actually choose a useless cleaner."
A yellow-skinned man in the crowd also spoke up in mockery; from his accent, he didn't sound like a Hua national: "You Hua nationals have an old saying, 'to make a show of oneself to attract attention,' that must be talking about people like you!"
"What a waste of our time!"
"Tanaka!"
The owner of the security company finally spoke.
He frowned and angrily said, "How do you speak to a client!"
"Boss He."
Tanaka didn't back down; instead, he looked at the company owner: "You and I are only partners, you are not my Boss. You let such a person humiliate my Bushido spirit, I want to terminate my cooperation with you!"
"Macau doesn't just have your security company! If you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we will terminate our partnership with you!"
"You!"
Boss He was speechless for a moment.
Hu You, however, watched with interest, becoming a spectator.
It was Shen Shan at his side who spoke first.
"You want to hire me?"
"Yes! Long-term employment!"
Hu You immediately responded, "You name the price and the conditions."
"I have a daughter; I want to be in the same city as her."
"Good!"
"Annual salary of three million."
"Good!"
"A property belonging to me personally, not too big, two rooms are enough."
"Good!"
"A car, preferably one with good off-road performance."
"Good!"
"Aside from what a bodyguard should do, I will do nothing else!"
"Good!"
..."I have no more issues."
[Shen Shan's favorability +10, now 10]
At this moment, the entire venue was silent.
The five conditions Shen Shan rattled off had captivated the two people who were just at loggerheads.
Especially Tanaka.
He had thought Hu You would be some big shot, but he hadn't expected him to be such a big shot.
An annual salary of three million!
Not to mention the many additional conditions!
These were considered top-tier benefits even among top bodyguards!
Why should a cleaner get them?
"Boss!"
Tanaka's eyes lit up.
He didn't bother to argue with Boss He and walked directly in front of Hu You, wagging his tail like a dog to show off: "I am the most suitable bodyguard for you!"
"He is not good enough!"
Hu You didn't respond, merely stepping back half a pace and looking at Shen Shan.
Without him needing to speak, Shen Shan had already raised his hand to block Tanaka, preventing him from advancing further.
"Get out of the way! You useless trash!"
Tanaka cursed and immediately attacked!
His palm chopped directly towards Shen Shan's head!
The next instant.
Before Hu You could even react to what had happened, a sound of bone and flesh colliding echoed in his ears.
When he came to his senses, Tanaka was already lying on the ground, unconscious.
As for Shen Shan... he was still blocking in front of Hu You.
Is this the difference between proficient and Perfect-level?
It's too great!
Hu You had the thought of testing Shen Shan and looked at the other eleven bodyguards.
"I didn't say I'd only hire one person. If any of you can get past him and come before me, the same benefits can be yours too."
The eleven bodyguards immediately exchanged glances and, without hesitation, attacked simultaneously!
They became bodyguards for money!
An annual salary of three million!
Even if they only worked for a year, it would be enough for them for a long time!
Unfortunately, their opponent was Shen Shan.
Under the siege of the eleven, Hu You could finally clearly see Shen Shan's moves.
His muscular body seemed boneless, always able to dodge in time under the crowd's attack and launch a counterattack at the first opportunity.
One punch, one kick.
An attack that seemed to have no pattern, yet it always managed to knock down the opponent at the first moment!
He even deliberately avoided some fatal areas!
If those fists and kicks had landed on their throats, hearts, or brains... there would probably be eleven corpses on the ground now.
Not only Hu You, but even Boss He was stunned.
He never expected such a powerful figure to be hidden in his company!
"Excellent!"
Boss He exclaimed and immediately stepped forward, rubbing his hands: "Boss, congratulations on finding your desired bodyguard. Shall we sign the contract now?"
"With an annual salary of three million, plus our commission, you only need to pay four and a half million per year to get his protection."
Money? He had plenty.
However... Hu You looked at Shen Shan and asked, "Is this contract signed with you, or with him?"
"Sign with him for one year."
Shen Shan immediately said, "When I was at my wit's end, he gave me a job."
"Alright."
Hu You understood Shen Shan's meaning.
A year's commission in exchange for no further ties between them.
He was truly quite loyal.
Boss He also understood this implication.
But it was good enough to earn something, so he didn't dwell on it too much.
[Shen Shan's favorability +10, now 20]
One and a half million for ten points of favorability, it was worth it!
The contract was signed, and it was already nine in the morning.
"Boss."
Shen Shan changed into his own clothes and followed Hu You out of the security company: "Is your next itinerary in Macau, or..."
"I'm going back to the mainland, leaving this afternoon."
Stay in Macau?
It's seaside; if heavy rain falls for less than three days, a tsunami will sweep through here!
Instead of finding another place to settle, it's better to stay in his own old haunt and get through the rainy season first.
After all, he was quite familiar with everyone there!
"Then I need to pick up my daughter and take care of some personal matters."
"Alright."
Hu You gave him his contact information: "Can you get it done before one in the afternoon?"
"Yes!"
"Do you need money?"
"No, the money you just transferred to Boss He is already in my account."
"That's good then."
Hu You and the casino Manager Yang watched Shen Shan leave.
"Mr. Hu, if I may be so bold."
The casino Manager Yang frowned slightly: "Three million, for an ordinary person, is enough to make him abandon everything and choose to flee."
"Don't use someone you doubt; don't doubt someone you use."
Hu You simply replied, and it was time according to the plan to procure the next item.
Weapons!
As soon as the thought arose, his stomach rumbled.
He was hungry.
He had been busy since dawn and hadn't eaten anything except the desserts in the casino.
Perfect, buy more things to enrich his food inventory!
And buy some small toys for Shen Shan's daughter to boost his favorability!
As for the weapons... Shen Shan possessed Perfect-level Assassination Skills, so he should be able to get these things. After he handles his personal matters, he can take care of it.
Hu You looked at the casino Manager Yang and asked, "Manager Yang, right?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"I heard Macau has a lot of delicious food, why don't you show me around?"
"Of course!"
