Chapter 16
Contrary to what people think, people from the mafia don't meet up in a weird street place. A big organization such as Ying Yue's one is actually really rich and have more than enough money to buy big buildings.
Before Ying Yue took control of the mafia, the previous boss would do a lot of business with the black market and they had a good sum of income but when Ying Yue took control of Asia's underground world, she cut certain businesses with the black market that she didn't like and instead invested in companies.
Ying Yue didn't even test the waters before she invested a large amount of money in companies that she believed in, almost emptying their fund. A lot of controversies happened but after a while, when the money started to come in like a waterfall: everyone stopped opposing Ying Yue. That move proved the power of Ying Yue and reinforced her place as the boss.
Not long after, Ying Yue put aside a lot of money in case of emergency and opened a company named 'Starlight' where she was the ghost-president. Basically, she was the president in name only while her subordinate was the vice-president and worked to death.┐(ˇ.ˇ '') ┌
However, she still held great power as she was the one funding the company and from time to time she would give a few directives which would always propel the income by a lot.
Hence even though she didn't appear often, as she is also busy managing the mafia, she still held a stronghold in the company. By herself, she held 15% of the shares while 20% was for the mafia's resources. The company was flouris.h.i.+ng and prospering all over the country and igniting interest in other countries.
The fact that Ying Yue had control over an entire powerful company and held 15% of its shares had caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied. " Why would a little girl like her hold so much power and money? "
But they soon shut up when they discovered that the money used to fund the company was the money she won herself, as the boss. The money given as a salary couldn't be control by others because it was their own so they could only reluctantly shut up because Ying Yue was nice enough to give them 20% of shares while also continuing to win more and more money on top of it.
One more point that completely shut the controversies was the fact that the moment Ying Yue wasn't the boss anymore, the contract of 20% shares that was supposed to go to the mafia would be canceled and a huge source of income would stop for the mafia. Accordingly, they stopped doubting her and let her take control.
Except for a few dumba.s.s that didn't want to follow the rules (like the fatty from chapter 1 (¬_¬ '')), everyone had pretty much fallen under the government of the powerful boss Moon.
All this to say that the headquarters of Asia's mafia was stationed in a very fancy place, called the Blue Moon, built a couple of years ago in honor of the new boss, Ying Yue.
The gigantic building was shaped in a quarter moon and was covered of gla.s.ses, making the exterior look blue. From the exterior, it seems like there was only one level but there was actually five other levels below, each level was five times larger than the s.p.a.ce that the building himself occupies.
As a cover, this place was also known to be a branch company of Starlight who develops software.
The place was heavily guarded inside and outside: using the excuse that this branch was very successful after they developed two very important software, which was the work of Ying Yue in her rare free time, and needed to be protected from any leaks to the concurrence.
Today, Ying Yue wore a white T-s.h.i.+rt paired with a dark leather jacket which complimented the black leather pants with a least five zippers where Ying Yue stored all her weaponry and finally black military boots, making her look very seductive and more boss like, emphasizing her presence.
Even with a big pair of sungla.s.ses hiding her twinkling eyes, the guards immediately recognized her and saluted her before opening the door for their cheerful boss.
As soon as she entered, two lines of bodyguards and staff formed, greeting her loudly like well trained military people while slightly bowing, " Welcome back Boss Moon! "
" Fortunately, this place is soundproof or we would be exposed a long time ago by their loud greeting. " thought Ying Yue as she answered back with a smile, " Thank you for your hard work!"
Ying Yue went in the elevator and pressed -2. The robot, at the top of the door frame, instantly scanned Ying Yue's body before announcing in an electronic voice, " Permission allowed. "
This was a very sophisticated and newly developed product by Asia's mafia to scan the person and check if this person was in the database and which privilege this person possesses. Privileges like to let that person enter certain places or take certain weapons that usually needed special permissions. With this system, they didn't need to worry about their card or fingerprint getting stolen because the system takes in count the whole body correspondence to gain access to anything.
As soon as Ying Yue went away, the staff immediately transmitted the information that she arrived and talked about her recent accomplishment.
" I heard that yesterday Boss Moon only took one hour to finish the Italians that attacked them after the signing conference with America. " a female staff said to her co-worker.
" One hour!? Wow, our boss is so cool! " another female exclaimed in awe.
" Well, who do you think she is? She is the one and only Boss Moon! " a male colleague proudly a.s.serted before getting back to work.
