Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 1048 - 1049: Are you a bodyguard?

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1049: Are you a bodyguard?

“Oh, I don’t work there, I’m just going to see the excitement,” Song Xiaodong said with a smile.

Qian Shouyang smiled and said, “Don’t say that an old classmate doesn’t take care of you. I’m now the deputy general manager of that newly opened company, and this company has great potential, with significant investment and a bright future. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone there after studying abroad. If you want to work there, I can put in a word, no problem at all. It’ll be easy for you to get promoted. I think within two years, getting you a department manager position won’t be a problem.”

Song Xiaodong could sense Qian Shouyang’s good intentions, but it wasn’t appropriate to reveal his identity, so he just said, “Thank you, but I can’t go there.”

Qian Shouyang, with a serious face, said, “Hey, Song Xiaodong, are you feeling unbalanced because you’d be working under me? You really can’t compare on this front. I’ve worked hard for many years, the effort and money I’ve put in can’t be matched by you. If you have this kind of mindset, I won’t treat you as a classmate.”

Song Xiaodong apologized and said, “That’s not what I mean, but I’m currently living in Minghe and working there.”

“Oh, I see, you’re not in Tiannan anymore, then it was my overthinking. But a man should pursue opportunities everywhere. If you ever want to return to Tiannan to develop, just let me know, as an old classmate, I’ll definitely help if I can.”

“Sure, if I return to Tiannan, I will definitely look for you.”

At this time, Qian Shouyang continued, “By the way, do you still keep in touch with any of our classmates? I’ve lost contact with them while I was overseas all these years.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Yes, we have a WeChat group. Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll add you to the group later.”

Qian Shouyang immediately took out his phone and said, “That sounds great. We should have a good reunion with everyone. I really miss them.”

Many people are like this; after achieving success, they inevitably want to organize a class reunion to show themselves a bit.

This is human nature. It doesn’t necessarily mean showing off or trying to suppress someone, but wanting others to recognize one’s achievements, to let more people know how well you’re doing now. This sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is something everyone needs.

Song Xiaodong laughed, “Alright, I will definitely attend.”

Among classmates, everyone only knows that he’s dating Miao Qingqing and that she is an amazing girlfriend; other details are unknown. In the WeChat group, he rarely reveals anything to classmates.

So attending a class reunion wouldn’t cause any stir.

Song Xiaodong added Qian Shouyang on WeChat and then brought him into the group. Qian Shouyang didn’t even have time to chat in the group before the car arrived at the location.

After getting off the car, both Qian Shouyang and Song Xiaodong straightened their clothes. Qian Shouyang said, “Song Xiaodong, do you need me to take you inside?”

Song Xiaodong said, “No, I’m here to meet a friend. Let’s chat later.”

Qian Shouyang nodded, “Alright then. I’m going to be busy today with the company’s opening. There will be a lot to do, so I won’t be able to entertain you. Let’s keep in touch via phone or WeChat.”

Song Xiaodong nodded, watching as Qian Shouyang entered the company. The security guards at the entrance all saluted him.

“Mr. Song!” Ding Shanyue was also receiving guests at the entrance, and upon seeing Song Xiaodong, he quickly walked over.

Song Xiaodong nodded and smiled, “There’s no need to be formal with me, I’m just here for the fun.”

Ding Shanyue quickly said, “Mr. Song, we’ve already arranged everything. You’ll need to be on stage for the ribbon-cutting.”

Song Xiaodong shook his head, “No need, you can handle the ribbon-cutting yourselves.”

Ding Shanyue hurriedly said, “How could that be? You’re the biggest boss of this company, you have to be there for the ribbon-cutting!”

Song Xiaodong said, “Su Qingmiao will be here soon, let him go on stage for me. Having someone from the Su family is enough. In Tiannan, I prefer not to be too public.”

Ding Shanyue hesitated but seeing how determined Song Xiaodong was, he didn’t dare to insist further.

Song Xiaodong waved his hand, “Go ahead and take care of your business, there’s no need to accompany me. I’m just here to take a look without disturbing your guest reception.”

Ding Shanyue, understanding that Song Xiaodong didn’t want to make a fuss, exchanged a few more polite words and then went back to welcoming guests.

After a while, a luxurious Rolls-Royce arrived at the company entrance, and the main figures inside the company came out to greet it, including Qian Shouyang.

Su Qingmiao got out of the car, dressed sharply in a suit, and carried himself with an air of arrogance, looking quite impressive.

This made Song Xiaodong chuckle. This guy, in front of him, was always so humble, like a little follower. But outside, he did have a certain presence.

This is perfectly normal. In the Su Family, no matter how impressive someone is, they can’t surpass Song Xiaodong.

But outside, the Su Family is undeniably a giant, and anyone from the Su Family is someone ordinary people have to look up to. Currently, Su Qingqing is heavily relied upon by the Su Family, which elevates his status significantly. In a small city like Tiannan, his identity commands attention.

The Ding family warmly received Su Qingmiao, and Ding Shanyue whispered in his ear, “President Su, Mr. Song is also here.”

Su Qingmiao was momentarily startled, but quickly understood who Ding Shanyue referred to as Mr. Song, and was immediately taken aback, glancing around until he saw Song Xiaodong, quickly and nervously heading towards him.

Song Xiaodong gave him a glare and shook his head.

Su Qingmiao reacted quickly and immediately stopped in his tracks, but he couldn’t help feeling anxious, worried about overstepping in front of Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong clearly noticed Su Qingmiao’s unease, shook his head, and sent him a WeChat message: “Be yourself, don’t embarrass the Su Family. Act as if I’m not here.”

Seeing this message, Su Qingmiao felt reassured and stood taller once again.

“Song Xiaodong, you’re still here,” Qian Shouyang saw Song Xiaodong once more and walked over with a smile.

“Yes,” Song Xiaodong nodded with a smile.

“Oh, I get it, you work in Minghe, and President Su is also from Minghe, and you’re from the military…” Qian Shouyang’s expression suddenly turned a bit odd.

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking that Qian Shouyang might have guessed his identity.

But Qian Shouyang leaned closer to Song Xiaodong’s ear and whispered, “You must be President Su’s bodyguard, right?”
