Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

P.S.: Regarding the "punishment of eating rocks" example, I looked at the post and felt it wasn't quite appropriate. Anyway, everyone should understand the meaning.

Furthermore, since Scarface tore up the contract, is "Northern Bank" still obligated to fulfill its obligations under the contract?

Depending on the circumstances, it may not be enforced, because except in special cases, Liyue law allows for the revocation of donations;

If the law does not allow for reneging on a donation, then even if Scarface tears up the contract, Li Ye can still recover the money through legal means.

Breaching a contract does not mean one can escape legal punishment.

Chapter 83: "Please allow me to introduce myself"

Accompanied by Xiao, Li Ye returned to his home on Fuxian Road by carriage.

Just as Li Ye was about to ask Xiao to get out of the car and come inside, he saw that Xiao was still engrossed in studying with his notebook. Thinking that he would be back after he got the list, he didn't say anything.

After getting off the carriage and returning to the house alone, Gan Yu had already prepared the list.

Gan Yu: "These are the people I've highlighted on this list who are being prioritized for recruitment."

Li Ye took out the list and glanced at it, finding the information recorded inside to be quite detailed. He was overjoyed. "Xiao Mei, you really are my great help. With this list, recruitment will be much easier."

Seeing that Li Ye had just returned home, Gan Yu hurriedly left, wanting to advise him, but the words that came out in the end were: "Be more careful."

Li Ye waved to Gan Yu and said, "Don't worry, I always have guards with me, it's Yuan Hua, the one I told you about before. He's very skilled, and I won't be leaving Liyue Harbor for the time being, so there won't be any problems."

Furthermore, I sincerely hope to take this opportunity to make a small contribution to these wounded soldiers... I'll be back for dinner tonight.

Back in the carriage, Li Ye looked at the list and said to the driver, "Let's go eat at Tiger Rock first."

Perhaps because he was born in the People's Republic of China, Li Ye has a special respect for these heroes who are about the same age as him but who are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the lives and property of the people.

In fact, even if he did not intend to recruit the wounded soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army, Li Ye had already prepared to address some of their concerns in future plans.

This was a coincidence, or perhaps a twist of fate.

The list contains many people, some living in Liyue Harbor and others from other places.

Li Ye can't possibly meet everyone; he'd be exhausted from running around like that.

Gan Yubiao prioritized recruiting officers who had served in the Qianyan Army or had excellent interpersonal relationships within the military.

Once these people are successfully recruited, they will naturally bring their brothers over as well. Moreover, this recruitment method is far more successful than him searching for them one by one.

What Tiger Rock has no shortage of shops is a wide variety of shops of all sizes.

According to the address on the list, the carriage arrived at a shop selling rouge and face powder.

Upon entering the shop, Li Ye immediately saw a one-armed, burly man who was 1.9 meters tall, watching several women select rouge.

There was no way to miss him; most of the customers in the cosmetics shop were women, but this burly man stood there like a pillar of heaven.

When the burly man saw Li Ye walk in, he quickly greeted him, "What can I do for you, customer?"

After entering the house, Li Ye looked at the burly man and immediately revealed all his information: "Meng Qing, 43 years old, lives in Qingce Manor, Liyue. He once served as a centurion in the Thousand Rock Army. His weapon is a halberd."

Later, he was seriously injured while assisting the Liyue Seven Stars in sealing the Vortex Demon God, losing his right arm and becoming lame in his left leg, and left the Thousand Rock Army due to his injuries.

I'm currently working as a shop assistant at the Seven Colors Rouge Shop, occasionally helping out at the store.

To be precise, there was a brother in the army whose family owned a cosmetics shop. Seeing that the older brother couldn't find a job after leaving the army and his family was struggling financially, he wanted to lend him a hand.

You actually know very well that your brother never expected you to be able to do any work.

Don't hit someone in the face, and don't insult someone's weaknesses.

Upon hearing Li Ye's words, Meng Qing's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He knew that he was like a parasite, constantly feeding on his brother.

I couldn't help when I should have, but I took all the money I was entitled to.

Meng Qing wanted to leave many times, not wanting to be a burden to his brothers, but his family was indeed in dire straits.

He received a pension when he left the army, so he shouldn't be short of money for a while. But both of his sons are of marriageable age, and they need a house, right? The dowry for their weddings will be a huge sum of money.

There are also the third and fourth children, who are at the age where they are growing rapidly. They eat like little calves every day, making life even more difficult.

His wife had a serious illness a while ago, which almost emptied the family's savings. When his eldest son saw this, he secretly tried to get the betrothal gifts back, saying that he didn't plan to marry the woman anymore.

But how can we not get married? Even if we didn't have any savings, we would borrow money to help our son get married.

This is the most basic value of the people of Liyue, and Meng Qing is no exception.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and let his eldest son get married. To earn money, his eldest son went to the dock to carry sacks just a few days after the wedding. Unfortunately, he injured his leg when the sacks fell.

Left with no other choice, Meng Qing, as a father, had no choice but to swallow his pride and beg for food from his brother.

He thought of it as a loan and planned to repay the favor once his eldest son's leg injury healed and he had saved up some money.

Otherwise, you can't exactly borrow money from "Northern Bank", can you?

It's a bottomless pit; once you borrow, you can't pay it back, and it will drag your children down with you.

The girls were also displeased by Li Ye's words. They were regulars at the shop and knew about Meng Qing's past, so they not only understood but also always recommended the shop to their friends, doing their part in doing what they could.

As it turned out, this young man immediately started to expose others' shortcomings. His heart was far too wicked, and he wasted such a handsome appearance.

Yes, she is indeed good-looking. Let me take another look.

"This customer has some top-quality cosmetics and face powder. Take a look."

Meng Qing forced himself not to lose his temper. This was his brother's shop, and he couldn't cause his brother any more trouble.

"I'm not here to buy cosmetics, I'm here to... hire you."

After finishing his sentence, Li Ye ignored the surprised looks of the crowd and introduced himself, saying, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Li Ye, and I am the owner of Jiaxuan Teahouse."

The "People's Daily" and "Charity Foundation" that have been generating a lot of buzz in Liyue Harbor lately are both my creations.

Furthermore, the "mysterious business" that will be announced soon was also prepared by me.

Currently, this business is lacking security personnel, or guards.

I think no one is more suitable than you, so I came here specifically to invite you to be the security captain of "Mysterious Business".

As for benefits and compensation, I think that among all the merchant guilds in Liyue Harbor, I can't offer a more generous package than I do.

Meng Qing: "Boss Li?"

Girls: "Master Li?"

No one expected that the handsome young man who appeared at the rouge shop was none other than Li Ye, the famous owner of Liyue Harbor, known to everyone from Tiger Rock to Scarlet Cloud Slope.

What's even more unexpected is that Li Ye actually plans to hire Meng Qing, a disabled man who can't even do heavy work, as his security captain.

Chapter 84: Well-reasoned and convincing (1/5)

Amazed, surprised, delighted, bewildered, shocked;

After hearing Li Ye's self-introduction, a variety of emotions filled the hearts of each girl.

The dissatisfaction and hostility towards Li Ye just now vanished like smoke, leaving only full of anticipation: so this is the "Little Master Li" praised by everyone in Liyue Harbor, then Brother Meng Qing's future is finally settled.

Meng Qing was also shocked by Li Ye's arrival. With Li Ye's reputation and the rumors circulating in the city about the treatment he offered to his employees, not to mention strong, healthy men, even martial arts masters would be envious.

Once he opens his mouth, what kind of person can't he recruit?

So he couldn't understand why this renowned rising star would want to recruit him, a disabled person who no longer had any strength.

Could it be that it was also out of kindness? Was it a form of charity towards oneself?

Thinking about these possibilities, Meng Qing couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Although even a hero can be brought down by a penny, Meng Qing still longed to hold onto the last shred of dignity.

Li Ye saw through Meng Qing's thoughts. To be precise, he exposed Meng Qing's secrets as soon as they met in order to entice him to have such thoughts. Otherwise, how could he untangle this knot?

Li Ye believed that without Mora, it would be impossible to recruit a talented person who would wholeheartedly follow him.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Everyone needs to eat. If you keep making empty promises without giving anything in return, even the most passionate person can't withstand the cold reality.

However, if it's just about Mora and pure profit-driven transactions, it's still difficult to get people to follow you wholeheartedly.

Because humans are different from animals, they are the only beings that not only pursue material things but also pursue spiritual life.

Even in ancient times, humans used totems to satisfy their spiritual needs.

In the past year, Meng Qing lost not only his arms and legs, but also the dignity and honor he valued most.

Therefore, as long as Meng Qing can regain his dignity and honor, he will surely agree to my offer of recruitment.

Li Ye: "Please don't misunderstand, Centurion Meng Qing. My request for you to be in charge of security at my shop is not out of pity or sympathy, but because I value your abilities."

"Ability? With my crippled body?" Meng Qing didn't understand.

Li Ye snapped his fingers crisply and shook his head in front of the girls, saying, "Centurion Meng Qing is underestimating himself too much."

Different positions require different abilities, hence the saying "know people and assign them to suitable positions".

I didn't hire Centurion Meng Qing as my personal bodyguard, but rather to coordinate a security team of a dozen or even dozens of people.

Managing a team requires more than just fighting prowess; it requires prestige, attitude, and management skills.

"Commander Meng Qing served as an officer in the Qianyan Army, and at his peak, commanded a hundred Qianyan soldiers. I believe few people can relate to what I'm saying more than you."
