Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

"That's right, boss. These foreign bastard companies are wolves in sheep's clothing, with wolfish ambitions. They're just trying to suppress our cutting-edge technology. If we can't see their true colors, we'll really be fooled by them."

With these thoughts in mind, a faint smile appeared on Zhang Dong's face once again.

He couldn't say he was 100% confident about the company's current cutting-edge R&D personnel, but these were people he had personally trained and who were the company's key focus for development.

This is something he has emphasized on multiple occasions before: it is essential to cultivate talent specifically for one's own company, with a focus on fostering their sense of belonging and responsibility.

Even when faced with enormous temptations, the cohesion and sense of belonging that develops over time through mutual understanding and compromise will enable them to resist those temptations.

Upon hearing Li Sancheng's urgent inquiry, Zhang Dong quickly made arrangements and deployments.

"Keep it this way for now, and we'll make adjustments if other situations arise."

"Okay boss..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Sancheng looked worried.

He used to be a hoodlum in the village, but now he's the security captain of a big company.

He is deeply grateful to Zhang Dong for his achievements today.

If it weren't for the boss, he would still be holed up in the countryside, just waiting to die.

After hanging up, the phone rang again very quickly. Li Sancheng was taken aback and immediately realized that his boss had something else to tell him, and that his boss might be planning to take some proactive measures.

After checking his phone, he was surprised to find that the caller was an unknown number.

If it wasn't the boss, who was calling?

Li Sancheng, looking puzzled, pressed the answer button.

"Is this Captain Li?" a man's hoarse voice came from behind.

"Who are you?" Li Sancheng frowned.

"Oh, next, I have important information to share with you, which concerns the United Company."

"What? You have information to provide me? Who exactly are you?"

"Captain Li, I'm at Peninsula Cafe. Once you get here, you'll know who I am."

Since it was during working hours, Li Sancheng gave his subordinates a few instructions and then hurriedly went to Peninsula Coffee.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a plump middle-aged man came out to greet me with a smile.

"Captain Li, right? Our General Manager Wang would like to invite you—"

"President Wang?" Li Sancheng frowned. "Do I know your President Wang?"

The middle-aged man smiled broadly: "Once you've been there, you'll get to know each other. You'll recognize each other once you go in."

Li Sancheng followed the fat man with suspicion into a private room, where a tall, thin middle-aged man stood up warmly upon seeing him enter.

"Captain Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to shake hands, Li Sancheng also shook hands with the other party.

Li Sancheng didn't hold back after that.

"Who are you? Why are you being so mysterious? Why did you invite me here? Do you really have information about United Company to provide?"

"Oh, Captain Li, please have a seat. Let's have a good chat."

After Li Sancheng, filled with doubts, sat down, the tall, thin middle-aged man quickly took out a bank card.

"Captain Li, there is 500 million in this card. Please do us a favor from now on."

Li Sancheng was instantly dumbfounded: "Provide convenience? What kind of convenience?"

The fat middle-aged man standing next to him gave a mysterious smile.

“Recently, your company has been taking covert measures to protect its R&D personnel, escorting them throughout their journeys. We have become aware of this situation…”

"You already know this?"

Li Sancheng suddenly realized: "So, you're from the United Company?"

"Hahaha—" The tall, thin middle-aged man laughed loudly: "An honest man doesn't do things in secret. I am Wang Ruicheng, the branch manager of the market development department of Meilian."

"Take this 500 million, and we'll be friends. Now, please do me a favor."

Having understood what the other party meant, Li Sancheng burst into laughter.

"It seems my men aren't very discreet, as you managed to see through them. You've made a mistake by asking me to do you a favor; I will not cooperate with you."

Li Sancheng's words surprised Manager Wang.

“Captain Li, as far as we know, your annual salary as the security captain is only two or three hundred thousand. This 500 million is almost equivalent to your income for nearly 20 years.”

"As long as you turn a blind eye to this, the 500 million is yours."

Li Sancheng had already stood up, and at this moment, he curled his lip in disdain.

"The reason I refused is to make you understand that some things are not about money, but about basic respect."

"Why could I resist your temptation? Because before, I was just a nobody in the countryside. It was our boss who promoted me to this position and gave me such a high annual salary. I'm already very content. Take your 500 million; I don't want it—"

After saying these words, Li Sancheng strode out of the private room.

"Hey, Captain Li, think about it again."

Behind him, he heard shouts from Boss Wang and the fat man's men, but Li Sancheng ignored them and quickly left the coffee shop.

Stepping out onto the street, a gust of cold wind suddenly reminded Li Sancheng of his boss's earlier instruction to remain still.

Could it be that the boss has a lot of confidence in these R&D personnel, and that's why he's keeping him inactive?

That's definitely the case, because the technical staff in these R&D departments were all trained by the boss himself.

At this moment, he vaguely understood why his boss was so calm.

Li Sancheng was initially worried after discovering that Meilian Company had sent people to follow these R&D personnel.

But thinking back to how I had just refused the temptation without hesitation, perhaps the boss had a lot of confidence in these R&D staff.

"Boss, I have an update to report to you."

As he was thinking this, Li Sancheng promptly dialed Zhang Dong's number.

Upon hearing Li Sancheng's explanation, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that we'd even managed to dig up your cornerstone."

"Why didn't you keep that 500 million? With that 500 million, you'd have enough for your retirement..."

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Li Sancheng looked embarrassed: "Boss, please don't use this as an excuse to fire me. I didn't like the money back then, and besides, how can I work for you after taking this amount of money..."

"Haha, okay, let me make this clear from the start: if you work for me, this is all the income I'll give you, no more."

Upon hearing Zhang Dong make this promise, Li Sancheng jumped for joy.

"Boss, I'm already very satisfied with this."
