Chapter 2 The Major
The sky in early winter is gloomy and cold, and the station is filled with noisy voices, footsteps and radio sounds.
Li Zhicheng was still wearing a woolen scout coat, carrying a small travel bag in his hand, and jumped off a bus. His tall and crisp body was standing in the messy crowd, which was particularly eye-catching. He looked around quietly and quickly, his eyes stopped on a Cadillac at the entrance of the station, then stepped forward with his long legs and walked straight over.
Gu Yanzhi was leaning against the car door, looking at him with a smile:
"Oh, which young master from the family has returned from a job?"
People around him looked at each other.
Li Zhicheng seemed to have not realized it until he walked to him.
Staring at him, he said lightly: "Your home."
Gu Yanzhi suddenly smiled, and reached out to wrap his shoulders around him. A smile appeared on Li Zhicheng's face, and the two men hugged each other tightly.
The car drove smoothly on the Second Ring Road.
Gu Yanzhi put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped his fingers easily. The car was warm and quiet. He looked up at the rearview mirror and saw Li Zhicheng sitting straight like a tree. He was looking out the window, his face was still cold and cold, so no one should be approached.
What Gu Yanzhi hates the most is this: he is still a young man in his twenties, but if you don’t talk to him, he can be so tense twenty-four hours a day, and it’s so cold that he almost loses his scum.
"It's growing taller again." He joked slowly.
Li Zhicheng was still staring at the familiar and unfamiliar city outside the window, his voice calm and cool:
"Well. I've been taller than you since I was twelve."
Gu Yanzhi laughed in a low voice, and made a bend along the ring road, changing the topic: "Go to the group or the nursing home first?"
"group."
Gu Yanzhi smiled and said nothing. He thought to himself: This guy hasn't come back for several years, so he still eats quite accurately with the old man's temperament. He knows that the so-called physical illness is just an excuse to urge him to come back.
The key is the same family business.

Lin Qian stood downstairs of Ida Building, feeling very nervous.
When she came to the interview two months ago, that wasn't the case.
At that time, under the magnificent building, there were cars full of cars, and there were many good cars. The well-dressed white-collar workers came and saw them off, making the business look particularly busy. Behind the building was the factory park, with red banners with passionate slogans hanging everywhere, and the workers were busy - the entire group was a scene of prosperity and grand excellence.
But what about now?
The same magnificent building is also clean and beautiful. However, the building is deserted and the door is deserted, and there are only two security guards in a daze; the production workshops behind are mostly dark and silent, and many workers squat at the door to smoke and chat, and it is obvious that the production has been stopped. The once dazzling red banners and slogans are all gone.
Oh, she saw one, half of it still hung on the wall, half of it fell in the mud...
Lin Qian was stunned, a low-key and luxurious sedan drove by her silently.
Lin Qian looked up and looked up.
She unexpectedly recognized the man in the driver's seat.
His photos were published in magazines and news - Gu Yanzhi, the first deputy CEO of Ida Group and the chairman's nephew.
The real person looks younger and more handsome than the photos. I wonder if he is as cunning as the rumors?
Her eyes moved to the back seat again, where there was a man sitting. But through the dark glass, she couldn't see who it was, so that the famous Gu Yanzhi could drive the car to pick him up and drop him off.
——
Gu Yanzhi also saw the woman outside the car and glanced casually, and his eyes lit up: the woman was very young, wearing a black professional dress, with a slim figure and beautiful face. She walked so gracefully in the dark gray building and factory room, and she felt a bit fresh and refined.
When he turned around, he found that Li Zhicheng was also looking at her. Gu Yanzhi immediately smiled: "Why, I know him?"
Li Zhicheng withdrew his eyes expressionlessly: "No."
——
Half an hour later, the Human Resources Department of Ida Group.
The human resources manager looked at the resume in his hand and then looked at the girl sitting in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.
The information on the resume is very clear:
Lin Qian, female, 25 years old. Work experience: 3 years.
I was confirmed to be hired two months ago and was the CEO assistant. The scheduled entry time is today.
But……
She looked up at Lin Qian: "I remember you. It's just that something happened to Aida these days, and the news should be reported, you don't know?"
Lin Qian was a little embarrassed: "I don't know very well."
She has always believed in the principle of "treating everyone well, and treating herself kindly." When she decided to change jobs, she thought she had worked hard for several years, and she had a rare break. She had to play enough to get back into the world.
So when she got the employment notice from Ida, she made many excuses and set the entry time to two months later. Because Ida's CEO particularly appreciated her and was not in a hurry to hire people, she agreed.
So she had a lot of fun in the world and stayed in Tibet for more than a week, and lived like a wild crane. In addition, she encountered danger in Tibet before, so she rushed back to report. She really didn't know what had happened recently.
The human resources manager pondered and said, "The group has encountered some difficulties in its operation. The former CEO had already resigned a week ago. The CEO position was temporarily vacant."
Lin Qian: “…”
The book on job search skills has never taught her. If you are applying for a job as a CEO assistant, but the CEO has ruined the company and left the stage by himself, what should you do?
——
Top floor, Vice President's Office.
Gu Yanzhi personally soaked two cups of Pu'er. As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Zhicheng standing in front of the mottled floor-to-ceiling glass, his slender brows frowned lightly, and he looked at the vast park below to ponder.
He had taken off his coat, wearing a pine green military shirt and trousers, which looked tall and thin. Perhaps because of his years of military career, he just stood there simply and had a chilly and elegant aura.
Gu Yanzhi smiled slightly, walked over and handed him the tea.
Li Zhicheng spoke: "How bad is the situation?"
Gu Yanzhi sat down on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's awful. The CEO we hired for a sky-high annual salary lost 2 billion in the overseas market. The key is that he is also very good at concealing the truth and is better than me! Now that the truth is revealed, he is finished, and we are finished too!"
Li Zhicheng had no expression on his face, and there was only a faint coldness between his eyebrows.
“How many left do we have?”
His wording was not professional, but Gu Yanzhi understood: "You talk about market share? The overseas market is a mess, so there is no need to say it. The domestic market, because in order to develop overseas, had a lot of resources and funds withdrawn. As a result, other competitors were moved and rushed to grab territory. Especially Si Meiqi, who snatched the most market share from us. Now Aida's market share has dropped from 20% to 8%.
Li Zhicheng stood there with the teacup in his hand, without saying a word, but only had his slender fingers gently rubbed the smooth edge of the celadon teacup.
"knew."
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the room fell into a calm silence, with only the fragrance of tea lingering.
Gu Yanzhi looked at him and felt that he was actually a little unfamiliar.
It is true that the two have a good relationship since childhood, but they rarely meet each other in recent years. Their knowledge about his recent situation is based only on various rumors.
It is rumored that his troops have always achieved outstanding results in previous military exercises. This time he wants to transfer to the job, and the troops are facing great resistance;
It is rumored that he used his troops ruthlessly and decisively, and was called the "Wolf of the Southwest", which was not like his handsome and restrained appearance;
He is so young that he has no other hobbies except military: money, women, power... and is insulated from him. Compared with this era of bright lights and wine, he is like a scheming and boring man living in another era.
...
Gu Yanzhi's lips raised lightly.
How could the chairman suddenly have a whim to call his son back to take charge of the business? And he actually agreed?
Although there is an old saying that "the shopping mall is like a battlefield", it is simply two different things. What the shopping mall wants is intrigue, cunning and traitorous. And he?
Although the military has an outstanding temperament, he knows nothing about business and has no experience. He is so silent and arrogant, and even owes a word to say to others - how can such a person manage a company with thousands of people?
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.
The Human Resources Department sent a resume.
Gu Yanzhi waved his hand and asked his secretary to go out, sat in the boss's chair, flipped around casually, and said, "Tsk tsk, when has it been? The employee turnover rate this month is 30%. Some people are coming to report. Is it so unique and stupid."
Li Zhicheng was still silent.
Gu Yanzhi continued: "Although our former CEO is fucked, some of the internal management processes are still well done, and the talents recruited are still elite. He recruited this person for himself, so it must be good. Anyway, you also need an assistant to see if you want to stay?"
"Whatever." His cold tone obviously had no interest in the people and things he mentioned.
Gu Yanzhi flipped through the photo on his resume again and was amused: "Yeah, isn't this the beauty I just saw on the road?" He casually recited along the resume column: "Lin Qian, graduated from the Economic Management Department of ZhongX University..." He paused a little: "I used to serve as the senior specialist of the marketing department of Si Meiqi Company, and his performance has been excellent for many years..."
Li Zhicheng turned to look at him: "Stay."
