CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 61: RESTRICTIONS ON LEAVING THE COUNTRY

"In my eyes, seniority is useless! During my tenure, I only look at ability! I don’t care if you’re a company veteran or how much you’ve contributed before! If your ability can’t keep up, you’re going to be eliminated! So I tell you, Cheng Yang, don’t flaunt your seniority in front of me, and don’t use these insignificant things to suppress new colleagues!" Wei Xueqing said coldly, staring at Cheng Yang without politeness.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Yang hung his head, quietly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

He understood that he had underestimated Yang Chen’s ability and, even more, Wei Xueqing’s regard for Yang Chen.

"If you think you have the ability, then show me your best plan; otherwise, this trip to Lancy Country will just turn into a leisure travel on the company’s expense!" Wei Xueqing said coldly.

Hearing this, Cheng Yang was secretly pleased. This indicated that Wei Xueqing did not intend to eliminate him, and it seemed that Wei Xueqing still valued his capability.

"Now, everyone go back and organize the materials and data you have. We’ll have a brief meeting when we get on the plane this afternoon."

After she finished, Wei Xueqing got up and left the meeting room.

Yang Chen closely followed behind her.

Just back in the office, Zhou Lan came in with an anxious look and said to Wei Xueqing, "President Wei, Assistant Yang, Assistant Yang’s passport has a problem."

"What’s going on?" Wei Xueqing put down her things, turned around, and looked at Zhou Lan.

Yang Chen also looked at Zhou Lan, his brow slightly furrowed.

Zhou Lan glanced at Yang Chen and said, "Assistant Yang’s passport application was denied."

"Denied? What’s going on?" Wei Xueqing was somewhat surprised, "Aren’t all involved in our passport processing acquaintances?"

Due to their company’s business nature, they often go abroad for business trips. All the passports have always been expedited and processed by specific personnel, without any issues, until now with Yang Chen’s denial?

Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Could it be that his identity was exposed?

Yang Chen considered it unlikely; very few people even knew about his identity.

Zhou Lan said, "I’m not sure either, but our people said it seems there’s an outbound travel restriction."

"Outbound travel restriction?" Wei Xueqing was shocked, "How could there be an outbound travel restriction? Yang Chen, is there something you haven’t told us?"

Yang Chen frowned tightly and gently shook his head, while also pondering why he would be restricted from leaving the country.

He had just returned; it was impossible for anyone to know his identity.

So, ruling this out, the second possibility was that he became a criminal suspect and was under surveillance by public security, restricting his range of activity.

However, he had only been back a few days and hadn’t done anything illegal.

He couldn’t figure it out.

"Have someone investigate and see exactly what’s going on. Could there be a mistake?" Wei Xueqing also knew a bit; Yang Chen had just returned from abroad, how could he be restricted from leaving? It was obviously abnormal.

"Okay!" Zhou Lan also felt it was odd and turned to leave.

Watching Zhou Lan leave, Yang Chen returned to his seat with a frown.

He pondered for a long time, unable to figure anything out, so he focused instead on Cui’er’s company information.

After all, he was supposed to be a translator; it wouldn’t hurt to learn more.

At ten o’clock, Zhou Lan returned and said to Wei Xueqing, "President Wei, it’s no use, couldn’t find anything out; nobody is willing to talk."

Wei Xueqing frowned.

In a situation like this, finding a high-level Lancy Language translator on such short notice was absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Yang Chen was an indispensable person.

Thinking for a moment, Wei Xueqing made a call to Wei Qingzhong.

...

After arriving in the morning, Wei Qingzhong handled some documents, observed the stock for a while, then took out his Vertu phone and called a number.

After a while, the call was connected.

Wei Qingzhong immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Old Zhuo!"

The person on the other end chuckled, "Old Wei, planning to give me a banner of commendation?"

"Yes! Thank you for giving me such a good bodyguard." Wei Qingzhong laughed.

The person on the other end said, "Making him a bodyguard, tsk tsk! Don’t you think it’s a bit beneath his talents?"

Wei Qingzhong’s heart moved; he felt that Old Zhuo knew a lot more.

"It does seem a bit overqualified, not to mention he can fight, and he can heal, with top-notch skills, not a problem to open a clinic. I want to ask you, what is Yang Chen’s background?"

Old Zhuo understood Wei Qingzhong’s meaning and laughed, "Old Wei, there are some things you shouldn’t ask about. Can’t you trust me, Old Zhuo, more than others? With this title of mine, would I bring you any trouble? Anyway, Yang Chen is a retired guard, very capable. I won’t say more; if there’s ever a problem you can’t solve, just give me a call!"

At this moment, Wei Qingzhong noticed a call from the president’s office on the desk phone.

Wei Qingzhong said, "Old Zhuo, hold on, let me take a call."

Putting the mobile phone on the desk, Wei Qingzhong picked up the phone, "Hello, Xueqing."

Wei Xueqing said, "Dad, my team is flying to Lancy Country this afternoon, but Yang Chen’s passport couldn’t be processed, it was denied, saying there’s an outbound travel restriction. I asked around but couldn’t find any answers. Could you see if you can find someone to handle it?"

"Outbound travel restriction? What’s going on?" As someone with experience, Wei Qingzhong knew much and pursued, "Generally, an outbound travel restriction is for monitored individuals. What’s going on with Yang Chen? Didn’t he just return?"

"Exactly, he just came back. I think it’s definitely a mistake. Could you help check?"

Wei Qingzhong glanced at the mobile phone on the table with a bright idea.

Coincidentally, Old Zhuo was just saying to contact him if there’s an issue.

He said to Wei Xueqing, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you look into it!"

After hanging up, Wei Qingzhong picked up the phone, "Old Zhuo, you heard just now, right? Yang Chen is restricted from leaving the country; could you help check the reason?"

"Outbound travel restriction? Which damned person did it? Hold on, I’ll find out now!"

After hanging up, Old Zhuo told the guard beside him, "Help me check why Yang Chen is restricted from leaving the country, what’s going on?"

He was very angry; a newly returned retired guard being restricted from leaving truly seemed problematic!

Though he couldn’t find Yang Chen’s specific background, returning from abroad and gaining such a title at such a young age, he was definitely battlefield-experienced!

In this peaceful era, these people are heroes protecting our country!

Instead of special treatment, he was being restricted from leaving the country; such a thing he could absolutely not allow to happen!

"Sir!" The guard quickly found the information and told Old Zhuo, "It’s a travel restriction from the Ningchuan Beicheng Public Security Bureau."

"Which bureau? They’ve gone too far!" Old Zhuo said angrily.

Guard: "Ningchuan Beicheng Public Security Bureau."
