Chapter 86 Eleven Veterans [Third update, asking for recommendation tickets]
After a bout of intimacy, the two lay in bed, the pitter-patter of rain outside, like background music, made Tang Tiantian feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Li Xiaoyao was Tang Tiantian's first man, and before him, she had been naive about matters between men and women. Since that night with Li Xiaoyao, she had suddenly discovered that this sacred act could be so delightful.
"How is the charity work coming along?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Tang Tiantian twisted her body and said, "I'm selecting impoverished mountain areas to build some safe school buildings. Fifty million can probably build about twenty school buildings."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Don't build the school buildings, that issue is too complex. Let me tell you, those leaders in the impoverished areas, each is more corrupt than the last. If you go there with money to build school buildings, they will skin you alive."
Tang Tiantian didn't understand these things at all, so she asked, "Then what should I do?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Directly sponsor the students. As long as they want to go to school, sponsor them all. Fifty million can almost sponsor five hundred students. This is much better than donating money to build school buildings."
Tang Tiantian nodded and said, "Hmm, then I'll go do that tomorrow."
Li Xiaoyao gently patted her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Sponsoring students isn't a matter of just one or two days. You need to personally visit those impoverished areas and then select carefully. But I'm not at ease with you going alone, so wait a little longer. I'll have someone accompany you when the time comes."
Tang Tiantian had no objections to Li Xiaoyao's arrangements. She knew she was attractive and had a good figure, which could easily draw men's attention. If she were to go to those poor mountain areas alone, it wouldn't take long for her to run into trouble.

"Xiaoyao, why are you so good to me?" Tang Tiantian asked with her little head up, her big eyes blinking.
Li Xiaoyao gently lifted her delicate chin with his palm and said, "Because you are my woman."
With a light chuckle, Tang Tiantian blushed at the sweet words. The next moment, Li Xiaoyao had rolled over on top of her...
...
Li Xiaoyao arrived at the company. Now his role was as Lan Cai's bodyguard, and specifically, her personal bodyguard.
Therefore, Li Xiaoyao's workplace had also become an office next to Lan Cai's.
Li Xiaoyao somewhat regretted agreeing to be Lan Cai's bodyguard, as he found there might be a bit too much on his plate.
But Li Xiaoyao was a man of his word. Once he promised something, he would not go back on it. So even though he regretted it now, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear with it.
Li Xiaoyao sat in his office, bored out of his mind, when a knock on the door sounded. An exhausted-looking Zhang Meng walked in.
"Brother Xiaoyao, Minister Zhao is looking for you and wants you to visit the security department," said Zhang Meng, her voice lifeless and her spirits seeming rather low.
Instead of rushing to find Zhao Ge, Li Xiaoyao walked over to Zhang Meng and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Zhang Meng forced a weak smile, shook her head, and said, "I had insomnia, didn't sleep well last night."
Li Xiaoyao did not doubt her, touched her hair gently, and said, "If you're tired, you can sleep in my office for a bit, or if that won't do, I'll give you the afternoon off so you can go home and rest properly."
Zhang Meng looked at Li Xiaoyao with her big eyes, her eyes suddenly welling up, and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, why are you so good to me?"
Li Xiaoyao paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "You call me brother, so you're my sister. Shouldn't a brother be good to his sister?"
Zhang Meng gave a bitter smile and said, "Just a younger sister?"
Li Xiaoyao shut his mouth, not speaking anymore, he had actually realized long ago that Zhang Meng liked him.
Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was silent, Zhang Meng turned around and left.
Li Xiaoyao watched her somewhat desolate back and sighed, then also walked out.
Li Xiaoyao arrived at Zhao Ge's office, where, in addition to Zhao Ge, there were eleven other men. Each of these eleven men was a strong and sturdy fellow. Even though they sat motionless, an aura that warned strangers to keep away radiated from them.
Li Xiaoyao had already guessed the identities of these eleven men. Without asking, it was clear that these men were Zhao Ge's comrades-in-arms.
After Li Xiaoyao entered the office, Zhao Ge immediately stood up from his seat, came over, and a trace of a smile appeared on his solemn face as he said, "They are my comrades-in-arms, also my good brothers."
The eleven men also stood up, now standing beside Zhao Ge, expressionless as they looked at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao didn't get angry because of the eleven men's expressionless demeanor. He smiled and reached out his hand, shaking hands with each one, then said, "My name is Li Xiaoyao. Zhao Ge is my big brother, and if you are Zhao Ge's brothers, you are my brothers too."
The eleven men didn't speak, just quietly listening.
Li Xiaoyao continued, "There are two jobs. One is to work as a security guard in this company, with a base salary of three thousand five hundred. With attendance and bonuses each month, you can nearly make five thousand. The other is to work with me, which is not regular employment, but includes food and accommodation and guarantees at least ten thousand a month."
Upon hearing this, the eleven men couldn't hold back anymore and one asked, "What would we be doing with you?"
The others also looked curiously at Li Xiaoyao, and even Zhao Ge watched Li Xiaoyao with curiosity now.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Running a place, managing a bar, in general, just a mix of various things."
Then someone else asked, "Would we do anything illegal?"
Li Xiaoyao's gaze swept over the faces of the eleven men one by one, then he suddenly smiled and said, "If one day you really end up in the lockup, I'll be able to get you out."
With that said, there wasn't much more to be said.
Li Xiaoyao would only trust people he could rely on, so he wouldn't deliberately hide anything from them, as that wouldn't be good for either party.
The eleven were silent, and Li Xiaoyao didn't press them, saying, "Take your time to think about it. Today at noon, I'll treat everyone to a meal, to welcome you and help you settle in. After we eat, we'll go for a bath and have a good rest today."
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, suddenly a man said, "I'll work with you."
Li Xiaoyao looked towards him. He was a man of about the same height and build as Li Xiaoyao, with tanned skin and a knife scar one finger long behind his ear, his eyes filled with resoluteness.
"Good," Li Xiaoyao patted his shoulder and said, "Have a good rest today, and we'll start work formally tomorrow."
Following this, several more men stepped forward and said, "I'll work with you!"
Where there was one, there were two, and soon, all eleven men had decided to work with Li Xiaoyao.
