My girlfriend is from 1949

Zhou Liming could clearly sense that the young man opposite him had the idea of ​​deeper cooperation.

By proactively handing over warehouse security and recruitment personnel to the National Security Bureau, they were conveying this message.

Of course, it's obvious to everyone that this guy is simply going to wash his hands of the business.

Who is more suitable to take on this task than the National Security Bureau?

The National Security Bureau's actions essentially mean that the state has directly intervened in this industry.

At that time, the top management talent and various technical testing personnel can be easily transferred with a single order.

It's better than him going to the job market to recruit, interviewing each candidate, and then giving them a trial period.

If the probationary period is unsuitable, whether or not to fire the employee is a difficult question.

If he were fired, the warehouse's secrets might be leaked to outsiders.

So for the past few months, Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan have been doing everything themselves.

Inspectors like Lao Zhou were hired after thorough background checks and high salaries.

At least in the short term, the information will not be disclosed to outsiders.

This is because there are fewer people, making it easier to control.

However, once a large number of people are recruited from outside, rumors will soon start to circulate.

In this age of advanced internet, you might end up trending on social media as a predator.

So if they need to recruit people, they might as well leave it all to the National Security Bureau!

Zhou Liming understood this point, which is why he readily agreed.

Even if Chen Huai'an didn't mention it, he would secretly arrange for people to conduct interviews and investigate all the hired personnel.

Now that Chen Huai'an has voluntarily relinquished this power, it saves everyone trouble.

He can be a hands-off manager, and the National Security Bureau won't need to conduct investigations in secret anymore.

Therefore, Zhou Liming has a question that urgently needs confirmation.

If it works, it will save both of us a lot of trouble, and it will also be safer.

Chen Huai'an nodded and said, "What's the problem? I promise I'll answer everything I know!"

He wore a 'sincere' smile, looking as if he would really answer any question.

But only he knows how credible it is.

Zhou Liming nodded slightly, his expression turning serious.

"I need to ask you a question."

Of course, you can choose not to answer.

If you're willing to answer, just say yes or no!

As for the reason, I won't ask, and you don't need to explain!

Chen Huai'an sensed the seriousness of the atmosphere and his smile disappeared.

I quickly weighed the options in my mind, trying to figure out exactly what kind of problem it was.

That's why a veteran of the national security team would treat this matter with such caution.

However, based on their current interactions, Zhou Liming's promise seems to be genuine.

So far, everyone has been conducting transactions in the name of the company.

This shows that the National Security Bureau and even the central government tacitly approve of their own set of rules that are not explicitly stated.

This is a good start.

Chen Huai'an nodded and said, "Ask away."

Anything that doesn't involve the secrets of time travel can be disclosed.

Zhou Liming turned his head and looked left and right, a habitual action formed over a long period of work.

He lowered his voice only after confirming that no one else was around.

"Could the warehouse be moved to another location, perhaps to the capital?"

This is the question he wants to know, and it's also the question his superiors want to know.

Shanghai is indeed very lively, but it also has many inconvenient restrictions.

If we go to the capital, we can find a safer place for him to use.

While Shanghai is a bustling international metropolis, it also brings many inconveniences.

When Chen Huai'an heard the question, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Before returning, Zheng Changlin had asked the same question.

Moreover, the place they were relocated to was Beiping (Beijing).

If we move to Beiping (Beijing), we can hollow out the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing and build a permanent underground base.

The various research institutions that were established could also move into the underground base.

Unfortunately, the answer disappointed Zheng Changlin.

Chen Huai'an narrowed his eyes and shook his head seriously, saying, "No!"

After thinking for a moment, to avoid any misunderstanding, I added and emphasized, "It can only be in Shanghai!"

As for anything else, I won't explain further.

After all, the other party had previously stated that only yes or no answers were required.

Zhou Liming only needed the answer, not the reason.

However, Chen Huai'an was also sensible and knew how to navigate social situations. He wouldn't simply give a two-word answer when someone said he wouldn't explain.

Therefore, I specifically added this and emphasized that it can only be done in Shanghai.

Although no specific explanation was given, the meaning conveyed was already very clear.

Since it is not possible, it must be due to some restrictions.

Moreover, maintaining a degree of mystery can be beneficial for future cooperation.

Zhou Liming frowned, realizing the meaning behind the other person's words.

A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.

However, as promised, they did not inquire into the specific reasons.

Everyone has secrets, especially those that involve the deepest parts of another person's life and are essential for survival; these secrets are not easily shared with others.

Pressuring for answers will only damage our relationship and won't get us any answers.

Zhou Liming sighed inwardly and glanced around.

He thought to himself that he would go back and submit a report to acquire all the land near the warehouse.

As for the official name, it is to establish an office area and a security-responsible garrison area.

The National Security Bureau's report to acquire these lands is related to national security, and it's much easier than developers demolishing the land.

While pondering how to arrange subsequent security work and recruit personnel from within,

A convoy of heavy trucks slowly drove up.

The gate opened automatically after the license plate of the car at the front was scanned.

Looking at the lax security measures, Zhou Liming couldn't help but shake his head.

I've made up my mind, I'll send an action team over tonight to ensure security!

Since Chen Huai'an had already given his authorization, they felt perfectly justified in sending people over.

Even the security guards will be replaced by people from the National Security Bureau.

However, Zhou Liming has no intention of replacing the three retired elderly men.

On the one hand, these people were recruited by Chen Huai'an. If he were to take them in and fire them, it would be a slap in the face to his boss.

We have to give Boss Chen face.

Moreover, all employees' salaries will be paid by Chen Huai'an from now on.

Leaving behind three elderly men can also serve as a smokescreen, deceiving those with malicious intent.

Who would have thought that a warehouse guarded by an old man would be a vital strategic location for the country?

However, if things are outwardly relaxed but inwardly tight, and someone actually thinks it's an old man guarding the gate and tries to steal things, then they're in big trouble!

At the same time, the lead SUV also parked in the parking space.

As soon as Lao Ba (Yang Yongli) jumped out of the car, he waved enthusiastically and greeted everyone: "Brother Chen, I'm here!"

He then quickly ran over and looked Zhou Liming up and down.

You can tell from her demeanor that she's definitely not an ordinary person.

He asked, "Brother Chen, who is this...?"

Chen Huai'an introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhou, the general manager of Hongqi Trading. He's here to pick up the goods."

Yang Yongli turned his head and glanced at the long line of identical trucks.

He secretly thought to himself: This President Zhou is no ordinary person!
