Beauty and the BodyguardVolume 4501

"That's right. With your great contribution, even a million spiritual jades would be far from enough to thank you. However, the escort agency is in need of spiritual jades now. It's impossible to gather so many spiritual jades in a short time. Rather than being forced, it's better to let young hero Ling become a part of the escort agency. Otherwise, your title of honorary escort leader would be a little undeserved." Qi Mingyuan advised her sincerely.

"Head of escorts, brother Qi, you're treating me like an outsider by saying this. With our friendship, do you really need to involve so many benefits? Moreover, my purpose for fighting for the bodyguard agency this time was to kill Wu baoliang. Now that Wu baoliang has been beheaded, I can retire after my success. You really don't have to do this. " Lin Yi said, shaking his head.

"Young hero Ling, everyone knows that the Qitian bodyguard agency relied on you to become the leader of the agency. This is no longer your personal matter. It concerns the reputation of the entire agency. If we mistreat you, the Qitian bodyguard agency will be criticized by others behind our backs." Qi Mingyuan's face was serious as he said,""Besides, we're only giving you 20% of the shares. It can bring us closer to each other and won't cause the bodyguard agency to suffer any losses. We're the ones who're at a great advantage."

At this point, Lin Yi didn't know how to refuse. He couldn't just say that he didn't care about the reputation of the Qitian bodyguard agency at all and just push away the 20% shares, could he?

Lin Yi could keep his pockets clean, but it would be troublesome for Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan. After all, they had to thank Lin Yi heavily. If Lin Yi didn't accept the dry shares, they would have to give him spiritual Jade, but the problem was that they didn't have that much spiritual Jade! 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Lin Yi wasn't a stubborn person. He wouldn't let his friend be in such an awkward situation. It was just as Qi Mingyuan said-even if he took twenty percent of the shares, as long as he didn't touch it or actively participate in the security agency's decisions, he wouldn't let Qitian Security Agency suffer any losses. It was the best of both worlds.

"All right, but I have to make one thing clear. I can accept the 20% dry shares, but I have to give brother Qi full authority to manage it. After all, I won't be staying in the South continent for too long, and I won't be able to participate in the bodyguard agency's Affairs in the future." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"Well said. Come, everyone, let's raise our glasses to the new owner of our bodyguard agency!" Qi Mingyuan was overjoyed. He immediately called for a toast and the atmosphere became lively again.

When Qi Wenhan first proposed to give Lin Yi twenty percent of the shares, he was worried that Lin Yi would climb up the ladder. Losing a few spirit Jade wasn't a big deal, but it would affect the security agency's decision-making. However, Lin Yi's return of favor made his worries disappear.

Giving twenty percent of the shares to Qi Wenhan and making it clear that he wouldn't be involved in the agency's business meant that Lin Yi would just be a hands-off manager in the future. As long as he paid the dividends regularly, everything would be fine. This was the best result for the Qitian bodyguard agency.

They didn't have to lose anything, and they could further tie Lin Yi down. Not to mention Lin Yi's various magical abilities, just the Hong Chamber of Commerce behind him was enough to benefit the Qitian bodyguard agency.

After all, Qitian bodyguard agency was at the peak of its development, and the Hong Chamber of Commerce behind Lin Yi was the one who could let it rise to 90000 li in one go. Just this return alone was worth the 20% of shares he gave out.

"Since everyone is so fond of me, then I will be impolite to refuse." Lin Yi raised his cup and finished it in one gulp under the cheers of the crowd.

At that moment, a few people entered the hall, ignoring everyone's strange looks. The leader laughed heartily as he walked in front of Lin Yi and the others,"Head escort Qi, young hero Ling Yi, it's rare for everyone to be in such a good mood. Can you count this Zhao in?"

The man was the head of the xuanying escort agency, Zhao Shanying. The few people behind him were the core members of the agency.

"Haha, escort leader Zhao is a rare guest that we can't even invite. Of course, we'll warmly welcome you!" Qi Mingyuan laughed. He did not need to think much to know why Zhao Shanying and the others had come. This guy was here to express his goodwill.

The new structure of the South continent's escort agency Alliance was very clear. The Qitian escort agency was the leader of the five major escort agencies, followed by the shenfeng escort agency, the Tianhong escort agency, the xuanying escort agency, and the four Seas escort agency. The Qitian escort agency, the new Overlord, was undoubtedly the one with the most say.

Among the remaining escort agencies, the Holy Wind escort agency, Tianhong escort agency, and four Seas escort agency were all well-established. Only the xuanying escort agency was a newly-promoted one. It was difficult for it to make a name for itself alone. If it was pushed aside by the Alliance, it might not be able to gain much even if it became one of the five biggest escort agencies. Under such circumstances, Zhao Shanying had to find a strong ally.

The Qitian bodyguard agency was the best choice in Zhao Shanying's heart.

Firstly, this ally was the new Overlord of the escort agency and was definitely strong. Secondly, the other party was also a new force, and there was a big gap between them and the other traditional wealthy families. If Qitian escort agency wanted to achieve great things, they would definitely need a reliable ally who could support them. Xuanying escort agency fit this position perfectly.

Therefore, in the eyes of both Qi Mingyuan and Zhao Shanying, Qitian escort agency and xuanying escort agency were getting closer to each other. It was a win-win situation for both parties. That was why Zhao Shanying took the opportunity to come to the celebration party to support them. Qi Mingyuan, on the other hand, welcomed them with a smile and did not reject anyone.

As an Overlord, Zhao Shanying had to have a ruthless side to him, but he was smooth in front of Lin Yi and the others. He was able to get close to them with just a few words, but the person he praised the most wasn't Qi Mingyuan, the escort leader, but Lin Yi, who left a deep impression on him.

Heroes understood each other, and Zhao Shanying respected Lin Yi a lot. If he wasn't so interested in Lin Yi, he wouldn't be willing to lower his status and come to support the Qitian bodyguard agency even if he wanted to form an alliance with the xuanying bodyguard agency.

Of course, he didn't know if there was any deeper meaning behind this praise, but Lin Yi didn't believe that a hero like Zhao Shanying was just a fan. It'd be more accurate to say that he was trying to kill him.

Based on his guess, Zhao Shanying was trying to drive a wedge between him and the Qi father and son when he got close to the Qitian bodyguard agency. The words 'outstanding service' were enough to leave a fatal knot in both parties 'hearts.

However, the relationship between Lin Yi and Qitian bodyguard agency wasn't something that outsiders could understand! (To be continued.)
