"Yes, mission guaranteed!" An Zhifeng and Zhang Yufeng both vigorously stood up and responded loudly.
This was the first task given to them by the young lady, a time to witness their strength and capability, and they were determined to accomplish it beautifully!
"Good, sit down," An Yiqing nodded. "There’s another matter, concerning the staffing of the security company. Since we’re starting a company, let’s run it well. Besides you, I plan to employ some well-skilled veterans. I have already discussed this with my father, and he has agreed to help me find some old soldiers. When the time comes, you can proceed to arrange this."
The Thirteen Blood Generals nodded, firmly engraving this task in their minds.
"Alright, that’s about all for now. You can go back to your tasks, and I will head back as well."
As An Yiqing stood up and was about to step away, a sharp ringtone of a mobile phone suddenly broke the quiet in the hall.
Frowning, An Yiqing took out her phone from her bag. It was a call from Liao Jinglin.
"Jinglin, what’s the matter?"
Before she finished speaking, Liao Jinglin’s voice, tinged with a slight urgency, came through from the other end of the line.
"Miss, there’s been an incident at Xuanjin Yu Jade!"
An Yiqing hung up the phone, her expression somewhat ugly. She glanced at the Thirteen Blood Generals, who were looking at her with concern. Without another word, she strode off.
"Xiao Yoo, follow me!"
Upon hearing this, An Zhiyu immediately put down her work and followed An Yiqing’s steps.
Xuanjin Yu Jade was located within a 28-story building in the Xuandu West District.
This building belonged to no one else but An Yiqing herself.
Entering the lobby on the first floor, An Yiqing immediately felt a strong sense of suffocation and urgency.
The usual smiles on the faces of the reception staff were a bit stiff and their eyes full of profound concern. The other staff members were also rushing about, carrying stacks of thick files, moving quickly from room to room.
An Yiqing’s gaze slightly sank; the situation seemed worse than she had imagined.
On the top floor of the building, as soon as An Yiqing and An Zhiyu reached the office door, they could clearly hear a noisy chatter from inside.
"I don’t care what methods you use, but the media’s public opinion must be suppressed to the lowest level! Also, Manager Zhao, get in touch with the warehouse now to check the recent shipment of jade raw stones. I want the clearest and most detailed information, even if a single stone was taken out, it must not be missed!"
Manager Liao’s voice, methodical and impactful, echoed from the office. He took a breath and continued: "Also, get in touch with that newspaper agency. Have PR communicate with them to dig out who released this news! Old Wang, arrange for the security department to bring up all the recent surveillance footage from inside the company!"
The office staff nodded, picked up their files, and hurriedly left.
When they came out of the office and saw An Yiqing and An Zhiyu standing at the door, they couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Miss, whom are you looking for?" Old Wang, who was responsible for the security department, politely asked the beautiful young woman in front of him.
"I’m looking for Manager Liao."
Hearing this familiar voice from inside the office, Manager Liao quickly walked out with big strides.
"Miss! You’ve arrived! Please come in!"
Upon seeing An Yiqing, Manager Liao immediately showed a sincere smile, while several leaders of Xuanjin Yu Jade standing by were nearly popping their eyes out. They knew that Manager Liao always had the strictest standards at Xuanjin Yu Jade, and yet today they saw him smiling at someone, and even more so at a young woman!
