The headquarters of the group is located in the core urban area of Beijing. The 32-storey office building is magnificent, and the golden building is particularly conspicuous, like a sword gathered by wealth, deeply rooted here. It has almost become a landmark in the area, and there is no other building around it. Even the pedestrians who came and went couldn't help but take a few more looks, and some even stopped to take pictures.

The strength of the group is also worthy of such a hardware environment. In the past few years, the group has made great achievements in biopharmaceutical, media, real estate, cultural tourism and other aspects, with a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan, and is now starting to enter the Internet industry. Although it has the blessing of the halo of the background of central enterprises, it has to be said that the group has developed very well in recent years, and it has naturally become the dream work unit of some recent college graduates.

Yang Lin and his son walked into the hall on the first floor of the headquarters building, and in front of the hall was a large high-definition LCD screen, which was playing the development process of the group and the achievements made in several important sectors. Below the electronic screen is the reception desk, 24-hour shifts, and there are always people on duty at the post.

Today's reception at the front desk on duty is a sweet-looking little girl, wearing a dark professional suit, with black hair coiled behind her, looking both kind and capable.

When she saw Yang Lin and his son coming, she took the initiative to stand up and said politely, "Yang Gong, are you here to find President Li?" His secretary has explained, you can go up directly after you come, he is here this morning! ”

"Okay, thank you, Ge." After Yang Lin greeted the little girl at the front desk, he took Yang Fan and walked straight towards the elevator.

Yang Lin and Yang Fan are both employees of this group and can use their employee cards to take the elevator. Yang Lin entered the elevator and pressed "30", and the office of Li Shipeng, vice president of the group, was on this floor.

Yang Fan had heard of this Li Shipeng for a long time. Legend has it that he was the son-in-law of a high-ranking official in Beijing, and he was promoted all the way to the deputy director of a government agency by relying on his daughter-in-law's family. Later, he was transferred to the group as vice president, assisting in charge of the biopharmaceutical and media sectors, and concurrently serving as the group's vice president of human resources and administration. In fact, he came to the group to work in nothing more than gold-plated, according to the current rapid development of the group, after two or three years of return, he can at least be promoted by one level. really belongs to the kind of character who relies on his wife to get on top and lie down to win.

Moreover, since Li Shipeng arrived at the group, the biggest task is to accompany the leaders to eat and drink, accompany the high-level entertainment of relevant government agencies, and almost no matter what matters within the group. Everyone knows his background and level, most people just compliment him on the surface, and no one takes him seriously in private. In addition, Li Shipeng relied on the power in his hands to encircle a group of wall grasses to stammer him, and spent almost every day eating and drinking, and his image and reputation in the group were very poor. Some people even said that his private life was also disorderly, and he had an improper relationship with more than one female subordinate. But that's all gossip, and there's no way to verify the authenticity.

Yang Lin and Yang Fan both despise and dislike this kind of person very much, but Li Shipeng is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of all cadres in the company. This kind of person is a typical type of person who cannot be offended. A week ago, Yang Lin and Yang Fan respectively received a call from Li Shipeng's secretary, asking them to come to see Li Shipeng today, and said that they had already greeted their respective leaders, had important work to hand over to them, and talked to them about future development.

Yang Lin's father and son both knew that they could not afford to offend this kind of person, so they could only think of the good and try their luck.

The elevator stopped and stopped, and finally reached the 30th floor. Li Shipeng's office is directly opposite the largest elevator, and he goes around the patio in the middle of the hall to the door of his office.

Yang Lin knocked on the door, and after hearing someone inside respond "Please come in", the father and son pushed the door and entered the office. It was Li Shipeng's secretary who answered, and they were only in the secretary's room outside the vice president's office suite. Li Shipeng's secretary is a man in his 30s, dressed in black professional clothes, with a stylized smile on his face, looking very sleek and sophisticated.

Yang Fan thought to himself: I didn't expect Li Shipeng to use a male secretary, what an accident. It is estimated that she is either strictly regarded by the tigress at home, or she deliberately creates a good image that is not close to the color of wine. But he probably didn't know that he had an "excellent" reputation in the group, which was ironic.

"Hello, you two are Yang Lin and Yang Fan, right?" The secretary's voice pulled Yang Fan back to the present.

The secretary walked quickly to Yang Lin and his son, and introduced: "I am President Li's secretary, Tang Jiachen, you can call me Xiao Tang." Welcome to the two of you, President Li has explained, you can go in directly after you arrive, please come with me! ”

Yang Lin and the two walked inside under the guidance of Secretary Tang. Yang Fan looked at the layout of the office, the office is indeed magnificent, the outside is the secretary's room, there is an independent living room in the middle, and the innermost is the vice president's office. The whole office decoration is magnificent, mainly pale yellow and white, and the tables and chairs are all mahogany, full of ancient royal style, which is very different from the group's avant-garde development strategy to enter the Internet.

When he came to the innermost office, Tang Mishu knocked on the door, and then directly opened the door through a crack, and said softly: "Mr. Li, there is a guest coming!" ”

A lazy voice inside responded, "Oh, it's Don, what's the matter?" ”

"Mr. Li, it's Yang Lin and Yang Fan who are here." Tang Jiachen replied.

"Oh, yes... I almost forgot, let them in. The voice inside responded.

Tang Jiachen agreed, turned back to Yang Lin and said, "You two here, please." ”

Yang Lin and his son finally entered Li Shipeng's office under the guidance of Tang Jiachen.

Yang Fan glanced at the entire office. The equipment and furnishings of the office still give him the impression of grandeur and luxury. is similar to the decoration style outside, and it is also a "royal momentum", and the area of the office is almost catching up with the three-bedroom and one living room of their house.

Directly facing the door is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, and there is a small negotiation room in front of the window. The entire office is made of mahogany furniture with light-colored carpets, which has the feeling of a banquet hall for foreign guests. On the right side of the floor-to-ceiling window, a set of mahogany filing cabinets are neatly placed against the wall, and inside the filing cabinets are all kinds of books and all kinds of file boxes, which are stuffed to the brim. Near the doorway are two mahogany chairs with yellow cushions, and the coffee table in the middle is also mahogany, which seems to be used for conversation.

Opposite the coffee table is a rectangular mahogany desk, and strangely the chair behind the desk is not mahogany, but a dark brown leather chair. It's the only piece of furniture in the entire office that isn't mahogany, and it looks a little out of place. It seems that this mahogany furniture is to give the guests a magnificent look, and the most common position for the host to sit is still comfortable.

And sitting on the seat was Li Shipeng, the vice president of the group, whom they had only seen in the group's newspaper before, and had a lot of topics. Yang Fan preliminarily deduced from his sitting posture that Li Shipeng was almost 180cm tall, and his body was blessed. Short hair, the hairline is a little high, the hair is unkempt, as if it hasn't been washed for a long time, the whole face is like a trapezoid, the flesh of the cheeks is about to fall to the neck, the face of the flesh barely sees the slightly open triangular eyes, and the huge ears make his whole head look a little funny. He was wearing a light blue shirt, and the buttons near his waist were almost stretched open by the fat in his abdomen, and Yang Fan could almost imagine the disgusting scene of him eating Haisai indiscriminately.

Seeing Yang Lin and his son come in, Li Shipeng pretended to want to stand up and shake hands with them, but after finding that it was difficult for his butt to leave the pompous leather seat, he gave up his efforts. Naturally, he changed the handshake gesture to a guide, and said, "Please be seated." ”

Motioning for the two of them to sit down on the opposite seat, Li Shipeng then sat down on the chair as if relieved. The weight of the whole person is pressed on the back of the chair, the chin is slightly raised, and a cigarette that is about to burn out is held in his left hand, a typical official style.

Li Shipeng looked at the ashtray that was already full of cigarette butts and talked about cigarette ash, waved his hand, and said to Tang Jiachen: "Xiao Tang, pour Yang Gong and them a glass of water first." Forehead...... Also, by the way, bring me another pack of cigarettes. ”

"Okay." Secretary Tang agreed, and was about to turn around and go out, when he suddenly stopped again. After a few seconds of hesitation, he turned around and took out the ashtray with cigarette butts piled up like a hill.

Yang Fan couldn't help but despise in his heart: How boring this person is, to smoke so many cigarettes in less than 3 hours at work. Fortunately, the company has no tobacco business, so he can't be poor alone.

After Yang Lin and Yang Fan sat down, Yang Lin said, "President Li, you're welcome!" Xiaofan and I both heard from the leader that you have something to explain to me. We don't dare to delay your time too much, so you can tell me anything. ”

Li Shipeng grinned at the two thick lips and said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, don't worry!" I do have some things to discuss with you this time, so let's talk about it first. Yang Gong, I have heard of you a long time ago, you are an old senior of our group, you were the director of the pharmaceutical factory, and later transferred to the group trade union to work. How's it going, has the work been going well lately? ”

Yang Lin was just about to speak, Secretary Tang knocked on the door and came in, he first brought two cups of tea to Yang Lin and his son and put them on the coffee table on the sofa, and then put the cleaned ashtray and a pack of cigarettes on Li Shipeng's table, then turned around and went out and closed the Jiangmen.

Yang Lin continued: "It's so-so. As you know, the work of the trade union is mainly to provide good services for grassroots employees under the unified guidance of our group leaders. ”

"Well, yes! Yang Gong is right, we first have to serve the leaders of the group, share the worries for the leaders, share the worries for the leaders, that is, contribute to our group. Li Shipeng said as he opened the cigarette that Tang Jiachen had just brought and lit another cigarette very skillfully. It was like half of his unclosed triangular eyes were supported by cigarettes.

"Yes, yes, that's what President Li said." Yang Lin responded, he also wanted to end this meaningless greeting as soon as possible, and hurried to get to the point.

Li Shipeng took a puff of cigarette, pointed at Yang Fan and said, "This is Yang Fan." I often hear the leaders of biopharmaceutical companies mention that Xiao Yang has a strong work ability and has performed very well in the past two years. Young man, motivated, very nice. Hahaha. ”

"Yes, I'm Yang Fan, hello President Li." Yang Fan replied with a slight bow.

"President Li, Xiaofan has just joined the work. There are some achievements in the work, but there are also many shortcomings, and they are young and vigorous, it is inevitable to offend people, and they still need a lot of experience. I also hope that you and other leaders can give more mention in the future. Yang Lin saw that Yang Fan didn't have anything to say, so he answered directly.

Li Shipeng waved his hand, looking like a person who had come over, and said: "Young people, if you want to do things, you will inevitably make mistakes, or if you want to do things, you will make mistakes, don't we all come from that time, don't worry." The development of our group needs such a motivated young man. ”

In the next half hour, Li Shipeng asked some more about Yang Lin's family situation, life problems and some inconsequential things, except for the increasing number of cigarette butts in the ashtray, there was no other meaning.

Yang Fan had begun to be a little impatient, he didn't like this kind of official style the most. He didn't pay attention to what Li Shipeng was talking at all, but kept guessing the real purpose of President Li coming to their father and son today, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
