The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 488 Emergencies
Zhou You stood there and watched from a distance. Among the crowded crowd, the old man could hardly be seen.

The average age in Africa is only 40 years old.

It's almost even lower in the slums.

old?
Don't be ridiculous, living to old age is a luxury.

Just when Zhou You was deep in thought, he heard something from his surroundings
"crack, clap"

Twice.

Before Zhou You could realize what it was, Xiao Si, Li Houliang, and Bater were already crowded around Zhou You.

Li Houliang took advantage of his height and opened his arms to include Zhou You.

"Brother You, don't move, the gun went off."

Zhou You asked quickly: "What's going on? What's going on?"

The reaction of the others was not unpleasant, and they had already protected Zhou You on three levels inside and three outside.

At this time, Xiao Si regretted why he didn't bring a bulletproof shield. He was careless and inexperienced.

Zhou You was already surrounded by people and retreated as he walked, gradually getting away from these chaotic crowds.

Jack, the captain of the international mercenary, slowly walked over and said to Xiao Si and Zhou You: "It's okay, it's okay. It's the person who distributed the supplies. He fired a warning shot. He couldn't control the situation just now."

"Let's go back first. It's too chaotic here." Xiaosi didn't dare to stay here at all.

The sound of the gunshot was so sudden that if it were aimed at Zhou You, no one would be able to react.

This kind of gambling on luck is something Xiaosi doesn't want to do.

Zhou You nodded and said nothing. As a person who cherishes his life, it is not unreasonable for a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall.

That is to say, be careful and pursue a choice, that is, when saving and helping others, you cannot involve yourself. Otherwise, if your compassion is overflowing and your mother's heart is troubled, and you personally distribute materials, it will be really uncontrollable.

When Wu Jing heard about it from the crew, his expression changed drastically.

To put it utilitarian, if something happens to someone, nothing will happen to him when he travels around. How many people are providing food, clothing, and parents.

"Brother You, we are done here, let's go back together."

Since there was no obstacle on Wu Jing's side, his speed was also very fast. When everyone saw this, they quickly packed up their things for fear of running too slow.

After returning to the hotel, Zhou Yu felt lingering fear.

I have been in a peaceful place for a long time, and I don't have the ability to react to this kind of situation. I am not as quick as Xiao Si and others.

Thinking of this, he called Xiao Si over: "It's a good day today. I've grown up and is completely different from before."

Can you not be moved by traveling around?
He was really using his body to protect himself. At that time, no one knew what was going on, and they just subconsciously protected Zhou You.

But it is this subconscious action that is the most real.

"Brother You, I didn't expect this situation today, and it's also because I didn't do enough, otherwise this situation wouldn't have happened." Xiao Si was still blaming himself.

When I was reflecting just now, I was reviewing it all the time.

The first is that he has no experience in this kind of thing and rashly leads Zhou Yu to dangerous areas.

The second is that when danger occurs, it is right to protect people as soon as possible, but what is more important is to find the source of the gunfire.

If this were to come towards them, it would probably only be blocked for a few seconds, and then they would be suddenly interrupted.

Zhou You was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xiao Si to blame himself: "You've done a good job. Accidents happen from time to time. They can't be completely avoided."

“And the hiring team today was great, too.”

Xiaosi nodded calmly: "Well, yes, they also set up a defense line immediately and controlled the place where the gunfire occurred."

As expected, they have experienced actual combat. They have not seen how to fight.

He is indeed more sensitive to gunshots than himself.

"Call Jack." Zhou You made a new decision.

This team was arranged by Xiaosi. At the beginning, Zhou You didn't pay much attention to it and regarded it as a one-time cooperation.

Thinking about it now, there is still a long time to come. If we know more about it, what if there is an opportunity for long-term cooperation?
"Brother Liang, you will also listen later." When Zhou You was covered by Li Houliang's figure, his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of security. This was a safe fortress made of flesh and blood.

Li Houliang's reaction was really subconscious at that time. If he had fully considered the pros and cons, it is really hard to say whether he could have achieved that point.

Afterwards, he himself was thinking, if danger really happened, could he run out?
If you don’t understand the language, have no money, and no connections, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to travel around.

However, it is okay to travel around, it has value, and people will value it if it has value.

And my own value is to protect him. If I get injured or disabled, I believe Zhou You will take good care of me. This was everyone's subconscious reaction at the time.

"Okay." Li Houliang said briefly, without asking anything else.

This incident was not just a shock to you, but also to everyone. Facing the danger of death, not everyone can calm down.

"The business trip subsidy has been doubled this time. Xiaosi and Battelle don't have a house yet. They can choose a house when they go back. Don't worry about it." Zhou You said after thinking for a long time.

Li Houliang knew that Zhou You would definitely get a reward this time, but he didn't expect the reward to be so big.

He nodded cheerfully: "Brother You, this is enough for me. Besides, it's nothing this time. It's just our job."

Zhou You shook his head: "I have seen everyone's reaction. Our team is good, and I usually do a good job. I must reward those who deserve it. You have been following me for a few years, so you know my character."

"After we go back, tell Yanan to stop going to work and focus on taking care of the children at home. The salary and benefits will remain as usual."

Li Houliang really couldn't sit still now. This reward was really too big. It was like giving himself money in disguise.

At least 20 a year, which seems to be less than the two of them, but this is a long-lasting thing, which lasts for most of a lifetime.

"Brother You, you really don't need it. You give me too much. Every year I get more division of labor than them." Li Houliang didn't want it. He didn't know how good his life was now. If he wanted it anymore, he would be greedy.

Unexpectedly, Zhou You looked at him and said with a smile: "Are there any conflicts between Yanan and your mother? Are you going to get in the middle and take the blame?"

This really didn't come up suddenly, it was mentioned by Fangfang during a casual chat.

After Yanan gave birth to the child, Li Houliang's mother came to take care of the child, and there was some friction between the two parties. The older generation and the new generation had different ideas.

This time travel is solved directly for them. They don’t go to work and take care of the children by themselves. There aren’t so many conflicts anymore, right?

Li Houliang also looked a little embarrassed. Everyone in the studio knew about this, and it had all spread to Zhou You's ears.

Really, why is it so troublesome to have a child? It’s all for the good of the child. It’s really hard to say anything.

I can only nod my head: "Thank you Brother You, but wait until the child goes to school before letting Yanan come. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to staying at home."

"Haha, okay, you decide it yourself, you are also a shareholder of Zhulang Pavilion."

Jack is a mercenary and the person in charge this time.

When he first took over the task, he was chosen because he was familiar with the situation in South Africa.

However, something almost went wrong. We are currently negotiating with the team that fired the gun just now. If they hadn't been able to control the situation because of their overwhelming numbers, the gun might have gone off and several people would have been injured.

There is a high probability that a gunfight will occur, and the casualties will be truly uncontrollable.

It was originally a safe and simple protection mission, and no one wanted to lick blood from the knife edge.

Such people, for them, are top-notch tasks.

Lots of money, few things to do, close to home, and almost no risk.

That is to say, he has seniority in the company so he can get this task. The tasks of other colleagues are to go to countries at war, and they are really making money with their lives.

Most people who do this do it only when they have no other choice.

Many people stop working just because they want to make a lot of money. But if you have the life to make money, you have no life to spend it.

"Jack, our boss is looking for you." Xiao Si found Jack.

"What's going on? Don't you want to deduct money? This is not our responsibility, it belongs to another group of people." This was Jack's first reaction.

Those damn capitalists will deduct money at every turn, even those with guns will deduct money.

But we really have no good solution. War is also a business.

Xiao Si shook his head: "Our boss never deducts money. I don't know what he is asking you for, but there is a high probability that it won't be a bad thing."

"Damn," Jack couldn't help but complain. He didn't believe Xiaosi's words. He had encountered this kind of thing several times, and it was always a bad thing in the end.

Feeling very depressed, he and Xiaosi came to the travel room.

Zhou You saw Jack coming and stood up immediately: "Jack, you guys are really great today. You controlled the situation immediately. It's very good. You are very professional."

As soon as he spoke, Jack's doubts were dispelled.

It doesn’t look like he’s angry, but I’ve seen a lot of smiling tigers, so it’s best to be more realistic.

"You deserve the award." Jack said with a smile, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man.

"Can you tell me about your company? I'm a little curious." Zhou You motioned to Jack to sit there.

Others didn't understand, but of course Xiaosi understood. Brother You had an idea.

Jack was stunned for a moment. This was not a secret. The people who came to them had simple information. Maybe they didn't know what they were talking about.

He took off the bulletproof helmet on his head, put it at hand, and said simply: "We are a small company, with about 100 people. Most of them are veterans who have retired from the battlefield and have rich combat experience."

There was a pause after speaking. Don't brag too harshly, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

"However, our equipment is relatively rudimentary and our military support is relatively poor. We can only do some simple tasks, such as security and small-scale breakthroughs. There is no way to compare with those big companies."

Zhou You listened with great interest. How could I have had the opportunity to learn about these things before:
"How are you treated? Is there a lot of staff turnover?"

"The salary is average. It depends on the nature of the mission. The salary for going to the battlefield is higher. The higher the risk, the higher the salary. If it is good, it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. If it is bad, it is not impossible to be tens of thousands of dollars." Jack said calmly. .

At first, Jue's treatment was okay, but compared with the risk, it was a bit inadequate.

There is no way. According to a common saying: "If you don't do it, there are people who will do it!"

Next, Zhou Youyou learned a lot. There are very few documentaries of this kind, and it is difficult for outsiders to access them. This can be regarded as the dark side of the world.

After the chat was over, Zhou You said, "A subsidy of US$1000 per person for the brothers who participated today. You have performed well."

Now, Zhou You has given up his unrealistic thoughts and is preparing to have more opportunities to contact him in the future.

Jack's service scope is still a bit small. It is basically in Africa and almost nowhere else. The coverage is relatively narrow.

But looking at Jack's happy look, Zhou You still cursed in his heart: At least they are cheap, right?
"Your boss is really nice." Jack was in a good mood, and he was very kind to Xiaosi.

I don’t know how long this mission lasted. After the middleman took the commission, they only received hundreds of thousands of dollars. This time, they received an additional reward of tens of thousands, which was an unexpected surprise.

The next few days.

I traveled to some places, but after learning this lesson, everything went smoothly every time.

Helicopter, experience traveling around.

That noise immediately put an end to the idea of ​​traveling on a private jet. It was too noisy and inconvenient within the country.

It seems that I will be isolated from high-altitude projects in the future.

The rest of the cruise was really nothing interesting, except for watching Wu Jing really work hard when filming the underwater scenes.

The deck of the cruise ship is very high, more than ten meters high.

Zhou You likes swimming, but doesn't like diving. He is not a professional, so he doesn't recommend diving, because if you don't jump well, you will really get hurt, which can be very serious, ranging from minor fractures to serious internal injuries.

Wu Jing danced more than twenty times and could no longer watch Zhou You.

"Brother Jing, it's almost done. I think it looks good."

"No, I hesitated a little, the movements were not smooth enough." Wu Jing continued to dance until he was satisfied with the shot.

This is also one of the reasons why Wolf Warriors are so popular, striving for excellence.

As both a director and a starring actor, he is so cruel to himself, and the other actors are also embarrassed.

Even Qiu Ya fully cooperated with Wu Jing and followed his orders.

At first, Wu Jing was a little worried. After all, it was Zhou You who arranged for her to come in. If she didn't cooperate, it was really hard to say anything. Even if the role was not good, she was the heroine after all.

When filming the underwater situation, Zhou Yu was also shocked.

Everyone can't bear to stay in the water for two minutes, let alone a fighting scene, and the oxygen consumption will be even greater.

This is really pushing the limits.

"Brother Jing, there's no need to work so hard, right?" Zhou You was a little confused. He was serious about the movie, so don't harm your body.

If it were Zhou You, Zhou You would definitely not do this. Of course, it was Zhou You now.

"Brother You, thank you for your concern, but this movie is really important to me, and I am confident about my body." Wu Jing is not only committed to the movie, but also responsible for his family.

This time he invested a lot, almost all of his savings over the years. Apart from not mortgaging the house, he also wanted to take a chance.

Following Zhou You, he has the whole story, so I don't dare to take a chance anymore, because I really underestimate him.

The atmosphere in the entire crew was also very tense. Everyone was worried about being in the water and holding their breath continuously.

"Come on everyone, pay attention to safety. When the movie is released, I will pay additional dividends." It is not easy to travel around, and it is not his style not to improve morale.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a shot in the arm.

Youyou have a tradition of paying dividends, and everyone knows it, so even if the salary is low now, it’s fine. Sometimes I hear the news from them:

Dividends are higher than the salary!

Of course, that’s if the film becomes a hit!
