"That's easy to handle; we'll issue you the same salary and benefits as our company's security personnel," Yi Anguo nodded and said.

The pay for security personnel at the managerial level in the property company isn't low, and Yi Anguo certainly couldn't offer them too high a bonus.

As for bribing them, there's even less need for that. Firstly, Yi Anguo would never betray his own country or do anything to sell out his nation's interests.

He believes that as long as he behaves and doesn't do anything to compromise national interests or betray his country, the country won't do anything to him, and naturally, there is no need to bribe these two people.

Moreover, if he were ever to find himself opposed to the country, bribing these two people wouldn't be of much use.

Furthermore, people from such backgrounds aren't easily bribed; they've been thoroughly vetted and cultivated by the organization, making it nearly impossible to make them betray their organization.

Yi Anguo understood people like this very well, such as his father and mother. Even when facing hardships, battling severe illnesses, and struggling financially with no money for treatment, they still never turned to the organization for help, even though their past positions could have allowed them to seek assistance from above.

At both his mother's and father's funerals, city government officials attended or sent wreaths, expressing condolences to the family.

Moreover, his father still had many comrades-in-arms who held leadership positions in various fields.

His father's greatest hobby in life was watching the news broadcast, Xi Jiang News, on television.

Among the people frequently appearing in those broadcasts were many of his old comrades who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him or were once leaders in his father's military unit.

At that time, his father loved recounting the stories of his past experiences and the hardships they once endured to Yi Anguo.

Father often lamented on how fortunate life was now, with enough food, clothing, and education, and urged the importance of cherishing resources and practicing frugality.

Yi Anguo always developed the habit of cherishing food; even now, with no worries about food, drink, or clothing, he still does not waste food.

No matter when he eats, his bowl is always clean, with no leftovers.

Yi Anguo also always requests that the family not cook too much food to avoid waste.

Leftovers are better stored in the fridge for the next meal than thrown away and wasted.

As his father lay on his deathbed, Yi Anguo found it hard to understand. Obviously, his father had contributed greatly to the country and had the conditions to make requests, yet he just wouldn't say a word.

However, his father told him, "Many like me fought in Korea, but most of them stayed there forever, their bodies never found."

"I've been much luckier than my comrades; I built a family with your mother, have sons and daughters, and now even grandchildren. I have no regrets and am satisfied."

"I know about this illness of mine, no amount of money could cure it, so there's no need to bother the people above."

Back then, they intended to promote and assign his father to regional work, but ultimately he refused and chose to stay in rural areas to farm.

After Xu Feiyang and Du Li left, Hu Jing quickly asked Yi Anguo, "What does it mean that the higher-ups sent people to see you? Are they afraid we might immigrate to the United States? So they've sent people to monitor us."

"That's not it; they're concerned about us, so they sent these two to ensure my safety," Yi Anguo explained.

"Besides, I have no intention of immigrating. It's safer to stay here; what would I do abroad? If something happens, there'd be no help, no response to calling out."

"Sigh! Having too much money is also not a good thing; it feels unsafe everywhere, as if someone might target us," Hu Jing said with a hint of worry.

"That's not true; don't think that way. If having too much money isn't good, do you still prefer the old hard days?" Yi Anguo smiled, comforting her.

"Being too poor isn't good either; if you get sick, you can't afford treatment. It's best when money is just enough, with a house to live in and money to spend, with no worries about food and drink," said Hu Jing, finally breaking into a smile.

"Rest assured! Now and in the future, staying in our country will be very safe. As long as we follow the law, do business legally, and pay our taxes properly, as long as the money we earn is clean and not illegal, the state won't do anything against us; it will only protect us," said Yi Anguo.

Just as Hu Jing was about to say something, Yi Anguo's phone suddenly rang.

Yi Anguo took out the latest Huaxing generation 3 smartphone and checked the caller display; it was a call from his older sister's landline.

His older sister typically wouldn't call unless there was something important, so if she did, it must be significant.

"A call from my older sister," Yi Anguo told Hu Jing.

As he spoke, he answered his sister's call.

However, the voice on the other end was that of his brother-in-law.
