About ten minutes later, time seemed to slow down, and the corridor became quiet.
Suddenly, two steady and powerful figures quietly appeared in front of the heavy door of the chairman's office on the top floor.
These two figures were like two moving mountains, with agile and upright bodies, and each step they took was steady and firm.
Their steps were perfectly synchronized, almost without making a sound when they landed, yet they exuded an invisible pressure.
As they walked, they held their heads high and stood tall, their figures majestic and powerful, like tigers descending a mountain, their momentum overwhelming.
An expert could tell at a glance that these two were no ordinary people.
From the unique aura they exude and their rigorous and standardized movements, it is clear that they must be elite individuals forged in the crucible of the military.
That's right, these two are Luo Yongjun and Yu Wengui—who were recently recruited by Xiao Weiguo and became core members of the company's Special Security Operations Department.
Finally arriving at the office entrance, the two stopped simultaneously and quickly tidied their clothes.
They first gently smoothed out the wrinkles on their clothes with their hands, and then straightened their hats to ensure that they looked dignified and proper.
After completing these preparations, one of them raised his right hand, bent his fingers, and gently knocked on the door.
"Tap tap tap..."
A crisp, rhythmic knock broke the silence inside.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle and deep voice came from inside the room.
"Please come in." After receiving permission, the two exchanged a knowing glance, then reached out and pushed open the tightly closed door, stepping into the spacious and bright office.
Upon entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is Xiao Weiguo standing by the window.
He was already waiting there with a big smile on his face, a smile as warm and friendly as a spring breeze.
On a small coffee table in front of the guest sofa, there were two exquisite teacups. The tea in the cups had just been brewed and was steaming with wisps of white vapor, exuding a fragrant aroma. It was clearly prepared especially for them.
Upon seeing Xiao Weiguo, the two straightened up and shouted in unison.
"Good morning, Chairman!"
His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire office.
Seeing this, Xiao Weiguo smiled slightly, quickly waved his hand, and gestured with his right hand to invite them to sit down, saying in a friendly manner.
"Please sit down and try the fragrant tea I personally brewed for you."
"Thank you, Chairman."
After thanking Xiao Weiguo with smiles, the two of them became completely at ease, sitting down casually on the soft, comfortable sofa as if they were at home.
Immediately afterwards, they skillfully picked up the exquisite teacups on the table, first gently inhaling the faint aroma of tea emanating from the rising steam, then carefully sipped the tea and began to savor it.
Although they didn't know much about tea ceremony, the moment the clear tea soup entered their throats, the fragrance and sweet taste that filled the air immediately caught their eye.
Even with just a sip, they could keenly sense that the tea in this cup was no ordinary tea found on the market.
At this moment, Xiao Weiguo quietly sat down directly opposite the two of them.
He calmly observed the two people before him who were leisurely savoring their tea, without uttering a word to break the tranquility.
Xiao Weiguo knew very well that since he had not yet explained the purpose of summoning them, based on their years of experience in the military, they would never utter a word unless asked by their superiors.
As a result, the only sounds in the room were the soft breathing of the three people and the occasional rustling of tea.
Time passed quietly in this tranquil atmosphere. Finally, after they had placed their teacups on the table with satisfaction, Xiao Weiguo smiled gently and asked softly.
"Brothers, what's your decision regarding the matter I mentioned to you a few days ago?"
In fact, long before Xiao Weiguo set off for Jiaonan and Shanghai, while he was still in Shang County, he had already told them in detail without reservation that he needed to send these two people to a distant foreign land to carry out a crucial mission.
At that time, the two people who first heard the news gave a resolute response.
If they were truly tasked with shouldering such a difficult and important mission, they would certainly step forward without hesitation and without looking back.
However, a prerequisite must be met before that can be achieved—clear and unambiguous permission must first be obtained from the national and governmental levels.
After all, this matter clearly conflicts with the country's current policies, and acting without special permission from higher authorities would be tantamount to committing a crime.
They would never agree to something based solely on Xiao Weiguo's own wish.
After hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment before Luo Yongjun finally broke the deadlock.
He took a deep breath and then slowly began to speak.
"Chairman, you have always been kind to us and have recognized our talent. We know this perfectly well."
