Chapter 2 Continued~
Gu Yan Zhi also saw the woman outside the car, and even with a single glance, his eyes lit up: the woman was young, wearing a black business suit, with a well proportioned slim figure and beautiful facial features. She was so graceful that even walking through the dark grey industrial building, she made the atmosphere feel refreshing.
He turned around and found that Li Zhi Cheng was also looking at her. Gu Yan Zhi suddenly laughed: “What, you know her?”
Li Zhi Cheng deadpanned back: “No.”

Half an hour later, at the Ai Da Corporation human resources department.
Human resources manager looked at his resume, look at the girl sitting in front of him, and found himself in some difficulty.
The information on her resume was clear:
Lin Qian, female, 25 years old. Work experience: 3 years.
Was confirmed two months ago hired for the post of Assistant to the CEO, scheduled starting time is today.
But … but …
She looked up at Lin Qian: “I remember you… But these days, Ai Da Corporation is having some things going on, the news should have been reported, you do not know? ”
Lin Qian was a little shy: “I’m not too sure. ”
She’s always believed in “be kind to everyone, but also to take care of yourself.” mentality. Before she had decided to change jobs, she had worked very hard without break or rest, and had now decided that she must have fun enough to compensate and care for herself.
So when she got the job offer from Ai Da Corporation, she delayed her reply, as she rationalised that the starting time was two months later. And since Ai Da’s CEO seemed to be highly appreciative of her, she didn’t feel pressured to reply quickly either.
And it went on like this for over a month, since she was extremely far away, staying in Tibet, and then having to come home via a military train, so she really didn’t know what had happened.
The human resources manager pondered for a moment, then said: “the Corporation’s business encountered some difficulties. The former CEO resigned a week ago. So the CEO post is vacant for the time being. ”
Lin Qian: “……”
Her job search skills textbook had not taught her what to do, if you are applying for the position of Assistant to the CEO, but the CEO himself resigned off of the scene, what should you do?

Top floor, Office of the Vice President.
Gu Yan Zhi personally brewed two cups of Pu-Erh tea, and looking up, saw Li Zhi Cheng standing in the dappled light of the glass front, slim eyebrows lightly twisted, looking below at the vast park in thought.
He took off his coat, he was wearing a pine green Army shirt and trousers, and was tall and thin. Maybe after having an army career for many years had influenced him, allowing him to possess an elegant and refreshing air, like a spring chill.
Gu Yan Zhi smiled, walked over and handed him his tea.
Li Zhi Cheng spoke up: “How bad is it?”
Gu Yan Zhi sat down in the sofa, gently sipped his tea and said, “It’s bad. We spent a sky-high salary on the CEO, and mister lost 2 billion in overseas markets. He was especially good at deception, even better than I can! Now we’re stuck, the jig is up, and we’re finished. ”
Li Zhi Cheng had no expression on his face, only his brow paled and the air around him grew chillier.
“How much do we have left?”
His phrasing was not professional, but Gu Yan got his drift: “You mean market share? Overseas market’s mess, needless to say. The domestic market, because at that time in order to develop overseas resources we diverted our capital there. As a result other competitors responded by swarming our turf. In particular, Si Meiqi, stole the highest amount of market shares from us. Now Ai Da’s market share has dropped from 20% to 8%.”
Li Zhi Cheng stood in his place with his cup, and did not utter a word, only his slim fingers gently stroked the celadon cup’s smooth edges.
“Got it.”
Without saying both sat inside in a calm silence, only the tea fragrance lingering.
Gu Yan Zhi looked at him, and felt a bit strange.
Certainly they had an excellent relationship, but over the years, his understanding of the situation had maybe been little, and were also the various rumors –
Previous rumours of military exercises, his troops were always excellent. But at such a time he wanted to change jobs, the military was very resistant to the idea.
Rumours that he was extremely decisive, and elusive, known as the “Wolf of the Southwest”. Unlike his handsome appearance, he was quite introverted.
He was so young, barring the military, he was without any other interests: money, women and power … … He was completely insulated. Compared with the flashiness of the current era, it’s almost as if he has been living in a different era, the straight-laced guy.
……
Gu Yan’s lip’s corner turned.
Had the Chairman called his son back on a whim? And he had agreed?
Although there is an old saying is “business as war”, but they are two very different things. The business world is full of intrigues and cunning thick-skinned black-hearted people. And he?
Outstanding military man, but one who knew nothing about the business, and with no experience. So silent that is was harsh, and with other people he spoke even lesser – such a person, how would he manage thousands of business people ah?
At this time, there came a knock on the door from the secretary.
Human resource department sent a copy of a resume.
Gu Yan waved out the secretary, sat into a chair, and randomly flipped and said, “Gee, there’s no time, this month’s employee turnover rate is 30%, and actually there are still people making reports, is it their personality or stupidity ah ah.”
Li Zhi Cheng remained silent for a while.
Gu Yan Zhi continued: “Although our former CEO was useless, some internal management departments ae still doing well, like fairly elite talent recruitment. This person they’ve chosen won’t be bad. Will you also need an assistant to see if would you like to stay? ”
“Whatever.” With his cold tone, he obviously refers to people and things without the slightest interest.
Gu Yan Zhi thumbed through photos of the resume, and then added: “Yo, it’s not just some girls off the street.” He read the headings on the CV: “Lin Qian, X University graduate from the Economic Department.” His voice paused for a moment: “Served as the High Commissioner for Si Meiqi Corporation’s Marketing Department, and has a successively excellent performance…”
Li Zhi Cheng turned around and looked at him: “Keep.”
