Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost New Year's Eve. Zhao Liying flew back to her hometown in Yanzhao Province to celebrate the New Year.

Although Zhao Liying really wanted to bring her beloved Yi Anguo home to meet her parents, as they had been together countless times, and it was about time to meet the parents.

But Yi Anguo told her he was busy and couldn't accompany her home for the New Year, so Zhao Liying had to disappointingly go back home alone to spend the New Year with her parents.

Zhou Mengdie is busier than before now because Yi Anguo is intentionally grooming her. Many responsibilities have been delegated to her, and she can make decisions on behalf of Yi Anguo in many matters, so she has many duties to manage now.

But Zhou Mengdie has no complaints because it means Yi Anguo trusts her more than before and truly regards her as one of his own.

Although she is now in charge of the domestic investment department of Hualong Investment Company, Yi Anguo has also appointed her as a vice president of Anguo Group, so she has many aspects of work to handle as well.

Especially when Yi Anguo is not around, she has to handle many of the group's official matters on his behalf, signing off on some urgent company documents.

The entire Anguo Group is large, and there are quite a few companies under it, with numerous documents to process and approve daily. Yi Anguo has long been somewhat annoyed by this and wanted to groom someone to handle these important, yet not so important, documents for him.

Once Zhou Mengdie became his woman, he almost immediately decided to pass this burden on to her.

Previously, he wanted Zhou Mengdie to replace him in signing off on those documents, but she always said that these documents must be personally signed and approved by the boss; assistants were not authorized to sign them.

Now, with Yi Anguo directly appointing her as the group's vice president, many documents that are not very important can, of course, be directly signed by a vice president.

This way, Yi Anguo is much more relaxed than before, but while he's more relaxed, Zhou Mengdie is much busier. Many of Yi Anguo's tasks have been shifted to her.

Originally, when Zhou Mengdie took over the domestic investment department of Hualong Investment Company, Yi Anguo needed to hire another assistant.

But now, obviously, he doesn't need to hire another assistant, and Zhou Mengdie can hire an assistant for herself.

Anguo Group has just been established and is still just a framework. After the New Year, Yi Anguo plans to populate the various departments of the group.

Even though it's the New Year, most of the group's company employees can take a holiday, but some people have to stay and work overtime. Not everyone can go home for the holidays.

So, during the New Year, visiting companies to comfort the staff who stay behind is an essential task every year.

This year is no exception. On New Year's Eve, Yi Anguo and Zhou Mengdie visited several companies under the group.

First was Hua Xing Technology Company and Hua Xing Communication Technology Company to comfort those frontline workers who stayed at the factory to work overtime.

Next was to comfort the delivery personnel and food delivery riders at Anjing Logistics Company who stayed to work.

Then it was the staff of Anjing Online Supermarket and offline supermarkets.

Finally, it was Anguo Property Management Company. Yi Anguo places great importance on the development of Anguo Property Company, especially the security personnel.

The security personnel are required to be young, strong veterans. Even if they aren't veterans, they must be able to fight. The first interview test is a strength test. If a punch or kick doesn't meet the standard, they're eliminated.

Next is combat, specifically freestyle boxing, with special evaluators. If you don't pass, you're eliminated as well.

Moreover, there's a background check. Those with criminal records are also eliminated.

This is mainly targeted at non-veterans. Generally, veterans are considered qualified; after all, if you're a criminal, you wouldn't be able to serve in the first place!

Plus, Anguo Property hires not just common conscript soldiers, but veterans with long service and plenty of experience.

Originally, after leaving the service, they had jobs assigned in their hometowns, but they were not satisfied with those jobs. Although comfortable, the salary was too low to support a family or provide them with a good life.

However, the salary offered by Anguo Property was much higher compared to their hometown jobs.

Joining Anguo Property Company is like returning to the army; they train daily, go on duty, patrol at night, and ensure the safety of the residents.

If anyone dares to cause trouble in the community or break through the gates, they must dare to stop them to prevent the situation from escalating.

In properties managed by Anguo Property Company, collection agents are strictly forbidden. If spotted, they're immediately ejected.

Without the owner's permission, no outsider is allowed entry. Any visitors must be strictly logged.

Frequent visitors not residing in the community need to apply for a temporary pass, and the application must be made by a resident. If anything happens, the resident is held accountable.

During the Spring Festival, many residents go back to their hometowns. After all, Shenzhen is a migrant city, and the vast majority are non-local. Even if they have Shenzhen residence permits, most still choose to return to their hometowns.

As a result, during the Spring Festival, Shenzhen is relatively quiet. Streets are empty, and the community is quiet.

At this time, as the security personnel of the property management, it's their duty to be more vigilant and ensure the safety of residents' property. Hence, the security personnel work as usual during the Spring Festival without holidays, generally taking their breaks after the New Year.

All security personnel of the property management company know that their good life and high income are due to having a good boss. So, when boss Yi Anguo visits to comfort them, they are incredibly excited.

Shenzhen has many communities and property management companies. The income and benefits of security personnel at other companies? Everyone is well aware. Compared to them, they are on a completely different level.

In ordinary property companies, security personnel from security companies have a basic salary of only 2000, sometimes 1800. At best, they get a little over 2000, and most work 12-hour shifts without any social insurance or housing funds.

In contrast, Anguo Property Company's security personnel work in three shifts with a basic salary of over 3000, plus social insurance and a housing fund, as well as various bonuses and benefits, bringing their monthly salary to around 4000 yuan.

4000 yuan in 2008 was quite a lot, and they also had food and accommodation provided. The food was good, with meat at every meal, and the living conditions were comfortable.

At the end of the year, they received an extra month's salary as a year-end bonus, along with other bonuses and benefits, totaling about 5000 yuan each.

While in other property management companies, getting a 1000 yuan year-end bonus was considered very good.

Many security personnel from other property management companies envy the wages and benefits of Anguo Property Company's personnel and dream of working for Anguo Property Management Company.

Unfortunately, many simply do not meet the requirements set by Anguo Property Management for their security staff, so they remain helpless.

Not just anyone can apply to be security personnel at Anguo Property Management Company. There are strict criteria for applicants.

Wherever Yi Anguo goes to offer greetings, he brings New Year gifts. The most practical gift is the New Year's cash red packet, which everyone receives.

Afterwards, Yi Anguo took Zhou Mengdie home for the New Year, thus closing the chapter on 2008.

Zhou Mengdie hugged Yi Anguo reluctantly, kissed him, and said, "Happy New Year in advance! Remember to think about it!"

"Got it! Hurry home, your parents are waiting for you to have New Year's Eve dinner with them!" Yi Anguo nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, it's your fault for dragging me around to this and that company," Zhou Mengdie said unhappily.

"You're the company's vice president. Of course, you need to visit the employees with me!" Yi Anguo replied, matter-of-factly.

"You made me vice president just as an excuse for your laziness!" Zhou Mengdie said.

"Besides, this year I'm vice president. What about last year, and the year before? Didn't you drag me around to visit here and there every year?"

"Last year and the year before, you were my assistant, right? As my assistant, shouldn't you also go with me to visit our employees?" Yi Anguo retorted.

"I'm going home for dinner, ignoring you. You always have excuses." Zhou Mengdie said and turned around to walk home.
