Chapter 18: Go Home and Eat
Li Chen has always been a mysterious man who has gone too far.
On the surface, the young man carried the banner of the Li family, and the development of the Li industry all over the world was unrivaled. Since he was in high school, he has been learning to take over the affairs of the family, and it is precisely because of his outstanding talent that Li's father retired early and traveled the world with his beloved wife.
It's just that the business tycoons that everyone fears also have an unknown side.
Society is polarized, there is black and there is white.
People in the world often talk about why the Li family has been standing at the top of the world for so many years, and the main reason is that the dark forces behind the Li family should not be underestimated.
With the blessing of the underworld, it is natural to mix like a fish in water in the business world and even in the political world.
However, all this is speculation by others, only knowing that there is a mysterious organization in this world whose boss is surnamed Li, people will naturally associate it with Li Chen.
It is said that the mastermind surnamed Li is ruthless and vicious, and a look can make people frightened, but anyone who has angered him has no good end. The amazing thing is that although he is ruthless, he does not have a single human life in his hands, not even a drop of blood.
Li Chen himself has never made a positive response to these legends, neither denying nor admitting them, and someone laughed when asked.
Li Chen usually looks like he sees through everything, and he feels indifferent to everything, but in fact, as long as he wants to know, there is nothing he can't find out. He is the lazy look, he looks fearless, but behind the laziness is all the means.
Li Chen seems to be in a God's perspective, overlooking the whole world, if he is interested, it is another matter, if he is not interested, he will not ask at all, and even hear it will be a waste of time.
Such a mysterious man standing at the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the most dangerous. His sister Li Luo once described Li Chen as an animal: a cat.
seems to be docile and lazy, but in fact, he secretly observes everything, grasps all the pros and cons to get the initiative, and is always a high-ranking tsundere creature.
Although Gu Yanxi has been by Li Chen's side for two years, he still can't guess Li Chen's heart and whereabouts. Li Chen seems to be a person with no shortcomings, no matter what happens, he will not be too aggressive.
It is precisely because of Li Chen's smooth handling of people that Gu Yanxi feels that he is very tired.
However, Gu Yanxi could more or less guess that his identity must be more than just the president of the group. The president of any multinational group will not have such a big battle as Li Chen when he goes out.
As soon as Li Chen went out, twenty bodyguards must have followed her, at first Gu Yanxi didn't feel that anything was wrong, but slowly as time went by, the rumors gradually flowed into her ears, and these were all put together, and an answer that wanted to come out was engraved in Gu Yanxi's heart.
It's not that she didn't doubt it, she was afraid. But these are not her choices, and sometimes she believes more in what her heart wants.
Ever since Li Chen told her that she would have dinner with him at noon in the future, Gu Yanxi began to wonder if his previous guess was right.
Today is the first day of the implementation of one meal a day, Gu Yanxi greeted the café owner in advance, she roughly calculated the time, if she got out of class, she would run away immediately, get in the car and come back immediately after eating, during which it would take about three and a half hours.
Gu Yanxi was so nervous all morning, and it wasn't the first time she had eaten, why was she so panicked?
Lai's Group Conference Room.
Xie Yu stood beside Li Chen, still holding a stack of tall folders in his hand. Each document was opened to the page that needed Li Chen's signature, like a concubine waiting to be favored by the flop.
Each project manager sits at a long conference table with his staff and reports the progress and report data of the project in turn. In order to save time, Li Chen devoted himself to two things, reviewing documents while listening to the project manager's speech, and sometimes correcting mistakes in the project.
"The report analysis for the next quarter will be handed over to me before work today, and there will be a remake of the promotional video, which is too low."
After signing the last document, Li Chen snapped the document in a chic manner, raised his left hand and glanced at his watch, calculating the time Gu Yanxi should have finished class at this time.
"Xie Yu, you will open the meeting later, I'll go home." After Li Chen finished speaking, he got up and gave up his place for Xie Yu to sit there, and then left the conference room in a hurry, leaving a bunch of employees who didn't know anything looking at each other.
After Li Chen left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Chen listened to their report while signing, but the invisible deterrent made them feel terrified.
"Didn't Mr. Li be busy racing against time before, why did he go home today?"
"I guess there's something going on at home, otherwise why would I be in a hurry to deal with documents and have a meeting."
"He should return to China if he has something to do, how can he go back to China at noon?"
"Mr. Xie, do you know the inside story?"
Everyone's curious eyes turned to Xie Yu, who was sitting in the first seat, and he must know the inside story by following Li Chen every day.
Although Xie Yu's position in the company is the special assistant to the president, everyone already regards him as the vice president, and Li Chen will take him to attend on all occasions and even see Xie Yu as if he were Li Chen. In the company, no one called Xie Yu as Xie Tezhu, they all called him Mr. Xie, and over time it became an unwritten rule in the company.
"Don't want to inquire about the boss's internal situation, but I want to remind you that there is no time left for you to correct your mistakes and approve at noon in the future, and the first thing you will do when you return to the company in the afternoon is to read the report, I wish you a good job." Xie Yu raised his eyebrows slightly mysteriously and looked around at the faces of the people present, and there were four big words written on their faces: Treat death as home.
"Then why is Mr. Li going to go at noon in the future?" One of the employees asked curiously.
"Go home and eat." Xie Yu smiled with a deep meaning, made a brief summary of the meeting, and then dismissed the meeting.
From that moment on, the news that Li Chen had to go home for dinner every day spread throughout the group, and it can be said that everyone knew about it.
Some old employees still remember that Li Chen stopped working at noon every day because a girl made a fuss and asked Li Chen to accompany her to eat, which lasted for several years, and then suddenly one day Li Chen once again devoted himself to work, desperately squeezing his time, and wished to be busy for 20 hours a day.
Who has Li Chen changed for now, is it still the rumored girl who was spoiled to the sky?
And who would be so lucky?
After Gu Yanxi got out of class, he panicked with Chen Shiyi, left from the back door of the school, got into the driver's car, the way back was very smooth, there was no traffic jam, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Gu Yanxi smelled the strong aroma of rice.
Is it Chinese food today?
Gu Yanxi walked into the restaurant with questions, and it was really lively, the servants were setting the table, and the meal for two people was actually quite sumptuous, which could be described as a feast.
However, with Li Chen's identity, it is not strange to have a hearty lunch.
"Aunt Zhang, where is Li Chen? Hasn't he arrived home yet? Gu Yanxi saw Aunt Zhang, who had turned back from the living room, and immediately leaned up and grabbed her and asked.
"Sir should be almost there...... Eh, it's back! Aunt Zhang answered Gu Yanxi's question while looking at the courtyard outside the manor, and before she could finish speaking, Li Chen drove in an eye-popping sports car.
Today is the first time that Li Chen did not have bodyguards with him, and he drove back by himself.
When Gu Yanxi heard the sound of the car engine, he trotted out of the manor and stood at the door to greet him, only to see a pair of long legs stepping out of the sports car and landing on the ground, and the golden sunlight shone on his body, as if he had added special effects.
At that moment, Gu Yanxi had forgotten to breathe, and it wasn't until Li Chen had already walked in front of him and snapped his fingers in front of her that he came back to his senses.
"What do you think?"
There was a faint smile on the corner of Li Chen's mouth, as if he was happy because Gu Yanxi was waiting for him at home early.
"Huh? It's nothing, I made Chinese food today, it's fragrant! At the mention of Chinese food, Gu Yanxi's eyes lit up.
"So happy to eat Chinese food?"
Gu Yanxi rarely raises his voice, and he looks like he is in a good mood.
"I'm happy, although I haven't eaten much, but I think it's better than Western food, and there are many variety."
"And something that makes you happier."
