Chapter 2752

"Good!" Feng Old Man Man replied, tightly gripping Liu Jie's hand and helping her up: "Xiao Jie, I'll go home with you, see your grandfather off."

Feng Old Man Man and Liu Jie were not classmates at the same school, but their schools were very close, and they met while working part-time at a restaurant outside campus due to their work-study program.

They became friends in just a few days, later turning into inseparable best friends, and after graduation, they both applied together to Future Culture. So, Feng Old Man Man is very clear about Liu Jie's background.

Ma Xiaotong also had red-rimmed eyes, and she gently patted Liu Jie's arm: "Whatever you want to do, go ahead boldly. If you encounter difficulties, just call the company. Remember, the company is your eternal backing."

Zhou Andong thought for a moment, then said to Jiang Yuyue: "You arrange two security guards to accompany them back."

Jiang Yuyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized. Liu Jie's family situation is special; this time she's going home for a funeral, and her parents might cause trouble. If anything happens, the two young women would struggle to handle it, and the company here would be unable to help, so arranging two security guards to follow is the safest option.

"Good!" Jiang Yuyue turned and walked out: "I'll arrange it."

"What happened?" The administrative supervisor of the General Manager's Office, a young man in his mid-thirties, stood at the gate holding a thick stack of documents. Seeing the chairman and three senior executives present, his face turned slightly pale.

Naturally, he couldn't miss the meeting just held in his office; after it ended, he stayed in the conference room organizing the minutes. He had just returned when he discovered something had happened. Importantly, besides the company's three senior executives, the chairman was also present—how could he not be nervous?

Jiang Yuyue waved her hand, offering no explanation, and simply stepped away.

Feng Old Man Man saw her boss return and briefly explained the situation.

"Oh, so that's what happened." Xu Wenfeng silently exhaled in relief, as long as it wasn't the General Manager's Office that had problems: "I remember Liu Jie is from Linyi Pingyi County, right?"

Feng Old Man Man nodded: "Yes!"

"It's not far from Jingcheng to Linyi; you guys drive back—it's more convenient than taking the train." Xu Wenfeng pulled out a set of car keys from his pocket: "If it were just you two girls driving back, I'd definitely worry, but with two security guards accompanying you, there should be no problem."

Ma Xiaotong said: "Let them take the company's business car—more space, more comfortable to sit in."

Xu Wenfeng silently put the keys back, looked at Liu Jie, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, sighed, and said: "May you find peace!"

Zhou Andong comfortingly said: "Liu Jie, if crying could bring your grandfather back to life, we'd all cry with you. But that's not realistic, and your grandfather certainly wouldn't want to see you like this.

You said you haven't repaid your grandfather, but actually, as long as you live well and live a wonderful life of your own, that's the best repayment to him—he'll be smiling watching from heaven. So now, what you need to do is compose your emotions and see your grandfather off on the final leg of his journey."

Liu Jie raised her hand to wipe her tears, her voice hoarse as she said: "Thank you, Chairman. I'll compose my emotions and handle my grandfather's affairs properly."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Alright, go back to the dormitory to tidy up a bit, and you'll leave shortly."

Jiang Yuyue returned, followed by two young men in suits, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, looking very steady. With them escorting Liu Jie home, even if something happens, they should be able to handle it.

"Qian Feng, Yang Hongjun!" Jiang Yuyue introduced: "This is Liu Jie, and this is Feng Old Man Man. Your task this time is to protect them home and handle the elder's funeral arrangements."

Qian Feng and Yang Hongjun stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"

Zhou Andong instructed: "Liu Jie's hometown is in Linyi; the journey isn't far. You drive and pay attention to safety. However, there should be no problem on the road—the main concern is her family.

No matter what happens, prioritize Liu Jie and Feng Old Man Man's safety. If they come home lively and jumping, you must bring them back lively and jumping.

Remember, don't fear causing consequences. If your lives are threatened, as long as we stand on the side of reason, even if it's killing someone, I'll cover for you."

"Yes!" Qian Feng and Yang Hongjun stood at attention again, and Qian Feng said: "Please rest assured, Chairman. We guarantee to complete the mission."

"Good!" Zhou Andong patted Qian Feng and Yang Hongjun on the shoulders: "Go!"

Liu Jie returning home may not actually lead to anything, but preparing in advance is never wrong. After all, she's an employee of our company, and such a positive young woman—I don't want her to come to harm in such a family.

Jiang Yuyue said: "You go to the logistics department to get the car keys, then take my business car. Recently, I haven't had any business activities, so I haven't used that car."

Watching Qian Feng and Yang Hongjun escort Liu Jie and Feng Old Man Man away, Zhou Andong sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

"Happy lives are all alike; unhappy lives are unhappy in their own ways."

"Jiang Zong, Ma Zong!" A bespectacled, long-haired literary youth entered through the gate, saw the leaders at the General Manager's Office door, quickly walked over, then noticed Zhou Andong was also there and hurriedly shouted: "Chairman!"

Zhou Andong nodded and asked: "What's the matter?"

The long-haired youth held a cassette tape: "While reviewing songs, I found one very interesting—I'm sure it'll be a hit. I couldn't find Dou Zong or Luo Zong, so I thought I'd bring it over for you to listen to."

Zhou Andong was very curious and said: "Come on, let me listen too."

Jiang Yuyue's office has a set of high-end German-imported audio equipment, so several people returned to her office.

Ma Xiaotong took the cassette from the long-haired youth, walked to the equipment, inserted the tape, and soon the speakers began playing a cheerful prelude.

Jiang Yuyue, Ma Xiaotong, and Huang Jia敏 heard the prelude and couldn't help but nod. Feeling that, based solely on this prelude, if the lyrics aren't too bad, it should be good.

Zhou Andong's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. This song is very familiar to him—it was also a huge hit in his previous life, playing everywhere on the streets.

When the song started, Jiang Yuyue, Ma Xiaotong, and Huang Jia敏's expressions suddenly turned strange, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhou Andong.

"Boss, what do you think of this song?" Ma Xiaotong suppressed a laugh, as if she didn't think highly of it.

Zhou Andong glanced at the three women: "What do you think?"

Jiang Yuyue finally couldn't hold back her laughter: "How to say, this song's melody sounds cheerful. But this is just a demo, sung by a male voice—if a female sang it, it should be... not bad."

Jiang Yuyue said "not bad" with her mouth, but she had no confidence at all.
