Shi Jing had originally planned to wait until Jin Ye'an was less busy to come to her house so they could discuss artist training. However, because she had been busy with her collaboration with Lezi Video, she hadn't been able to find the time in the last couple of days.

Since Shi Jing was going out, he naturally had to make these arrangements beforehand.

Therefore, she specifically asked Jin Ye'an to give her some free time so that she could have a face-to-face meeting at the company.

Shi Jing had been planning the artist training program for a long time, and this was just an early arrangement.

After arriving at the company, Shi Jing first went to the break room to pour himself a cup of tea.

The company's break room is currently shared by three companies. The administration department acted quickly; in just two days, the matter she had previously mentioned—adding more beverages and cold drinks—has already been implemented.

Shi Jing happened to want to drink fruit tea, so she made herself a cup and also brought a cup for Jin Ye'an.

Jin Ye'an has been really busy lately. Shi Jing arrived early, but Jin Ye'an wasn't there yet when she got to the company. While she was waiting for Jin Ye'an, Lin Ze came looking for her first.

Shi Jing rarely contacts Lin Ze unless there's something important to discuss. Lin Ze usually sends matters about the investment company to Shi Jing via email. Lin Ze, on the other hand, contacts Miao Chen more often.

Shi Jing was somewhat surprised to see Lin Ze.

"Mr. Lin, is there something you need from me?"

"There are some things I'd like to discuss with you, young boss, about cooperation," Lin Ze said politely.

Shi Jing was somewhat surprised. After the investment company was handed over to Lin Ze, he didn't require her to worry about anything except for cases involving particularly large sums of money. She was quite surprised that he suddenly wanted to discuss cooperation.

"Don't be shy, have a seat. Is there some big project coming up?"

Lin Ze sat down on the sofa opposite Shi Jing. Instead of directly mentioning the cooperation, he asked, "Young boss, I heard you've been looking for bodyguards lately and are thinking of setting up a security team?"

"Yes," Shi Jing didn't deny it. This wasn't a secret. After the Little God of Wealth gave her this task, she mentioned it to several familiar boss friends and asked them to recommend candidates.

Since security is involved, the person she hires must be reliable. Since she had never hired security before, she could only ask around for recommendations for trustworthy security companies.

But Lin Ze asked what the situation was.

She asked with a smile, "Are you going to recommend someone to me?"

Lin Ze didn't deny it either, but instead readily admitted it: "Yes."

Shi Jing was even more surprised now. Lin Ze was different from Zhang Sumu and the others. Perhaps it was because Lin Ze had spent a long time abroad, but he treated people with a more businesslike attitude. Apart from work, he rarely had any further contact with people, let alone recommend something that involved personal safety.

However, Shi Jing also wanted to hear which company the other party wanted to recommend, so she waited for the other party to continue.

Lin Ze coughed lightly. Since he had come, he was mentally prepared.

"My younger brother used to be a soldier."

Shi Jing was slightly surprised, but she didn't interrupt and waited for Lin Ze to continue.

"After he retired from the military, the government assigned him a job. However, as you probably know, many soldiers are transferred to civilian jobs every year, and not everyone can find a suitable job. Last year, he and some of his comrades-in-arms, as well as some comrades in less favorable circumstances, started a security company together, which also provides bodyguard services."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing had a general idea. This type of security company does exist on the market, but such companies also face considerable risks and challenges.

They are disciplined, honest, brave, and hardworking. However, this also involves the technical and professional aspects of the industry.

Of course, this relates to the company's specific development direction and plans.

At this point, Shi Jing had a general idea of ​​what kind of cooperation Lin Ze wanted to discuss. Now, what Shi Jing wanted to know more about was what kind of cooperation Lin Ze wanted to propose.

"This company is still in its early stages. Currently, it has 30 bodyguards, including 4 women and 26 men, as well as two technical staff. At present, its main business is bodyguard work, but the company is also trying to expand into other security-related businesses."

"The company is still short of funds for development. I wonder if the young boss would be interested in investing?"

Shi Jing stroked her chin. She was indeed tempted by a security and bodyguard company comprised of veterans. Although the company was indeed new, her own company was also new. As long as she invested enough, she wasn't worried about not reaping the rewards. Besides, she originally intended to build a security team; now she was simply expanding that team into a company.

With talent agencies signing more and more artists these days, there will definitely be more demand in this area in the future. Having a security company under their control would make cooperation between companies much easier.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that the company's background is indeed as Lin Ze described.

Speaking of investment, she remembered why Lin Ze came to her company last year. She recalled that when Sister Banxia recommended Lin Ze to her, she mentioned that Lin Ze originally wanted to return to China to start his own company. However, some issues arose, and he ran out of funds.

Could it be that he gave the money to his younger brother to start a security company?

Thinking about it this way, Shi Jing's impression of Lin Ze actually improved.

However, it's best to make things clear beforehand.

"Mr. Lin, as you know, the companies I personally invest in always prefer to maintain control."

Shi Jing has always been generous with his investments in companies where he holds a majority stake. However, for ordinary investments, one must calculate input and output, and these two considerations are quite different.

"To be honest, my brother started this company for the sake of his comrades. As long as the interests of his comrades can be protected, the shares are not that important."

Shi Jing stroked his chin. Well, this is probably the unique camaraderie they share.

"Okay. Mr. Lin, please send me the company's information and personnel details to my email. I'll take a look and get back to you later."

Lin Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Shi Jing saying that, the matter was already half settled.

"Okay, I'll send you the information when I get back."

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the office door from the outside.

The person knocking on the door was Miao Chen. He pushed the door open a crack and reminded him, "Young boss, Director Jin has arrived."

"Okay, I understand."

"Then you go ahead and get back to work, I'll head out now."

With the matter settled, and knowing that Shi Jing still had other things to attend to, Lin Ze did not linger.
