Life 1984

After being away from Xizhou for a long time, Li Yunhai felt as if he was in a different world when he set foot on this land again.

Everything that was once familiar to him now seemed a little strange.

The city he had helped build no longer looked the same as it used to.

In just a few years, everything has changed and the world has undergone tremendous changes!
Lin Zhi wore the frog sunglasses she bought in Causeway Bay and the fashionable coat she bought in Central, and walked out of Xizhou International Airport arm in arm with Li Yunhai.

Her beautiful appearance, model-like figure, and high-end clothing made her stand out from the crowd in this central city airport, attracting countless admiring or envious glances.

It had not been a few years since Li Yunhai left Xizhou, but when he came back, he felt that no one recognized him anymore.

He is still in the world, but his legend is no longer there.

No one came to pick me up.

Almost all of their acquaintances in Xizhou were transferred to Sanjiang Company in Gusu.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi took a taxi to the villa area where they used to live.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong followed in another car.

The taxi driver seemed to be an expert on Xizhou and knew everything about Xizhou. When he heard that they were going to the Sihai Villa District next to the Martyrs Park, he asked in surprise, "Who are you going to see there?"

Li Yunhai replied calmly: "What's wrong? Why are you so surprised? Can't we go there?"

The driver chuckled and said, "Of course you can go! But I heard that no one lives there anymore. A large area of ​​villas is deserted!"

Li Yunhai was silent.

Yes, if they are not going home but going over there to look for someone, then who are they looking for?

The villa area that was once the most prosperous, lively and luxurious is now uninhabited!

Nine out of ten drivers are chatty.

The taxi driver started talking and didn't stop.

"That villa area is really nice. I heard a lot of rich people say that they want to buy the houses there! What a pity, there is nowhere to buy! Do you know? That was the executive dormitory area of ​​the Sihai Group in the past! Everyone who lives there is a millionaire or billionaire! Tsk tsk!"

Li Yunhai laughed: "You know a lot about Xizhou!"

The driver said proudly: "Of course! I also know Li Yunhai!"

Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing and said, "You know Li Yunhai? Are you talking about Li Yunhai, the former chairman of Sihai Group?"

The driver raised his head and said, "Of course it's him! Apart from him, is there another Li Yunhai worthy of me to know him?"

Li Yunhai couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhi also smiled and thought, you said you knew Li Yunhai, but he was in your car and you didn't recognize him.

The driver boasted, "Li Yunhai is no longer good! He used to be very rich and famous at a young age, but I didn't expect him to fall so quickly! What a pity!"

Li Yunhai asked: "Why is it a pity?"

The driver said, "To be honest, he is a businessman with a conscience. When he was in our Xizhou, he did a lot of good deeds. He donated schools and libraries every year. These are small things. He also built so many commercial buildings and five-star hotels! He arranged jobs for tens of thousands of people! In the past, no matter where I drove my car in the city, I could pick up a few workers from the Sihai Group every day. They had good benefits and high salaries, so they were willing to spend money on taxis. Now it's not possible!"

Li Yunhai asked, "Isn't the Sihai Group also in Xizhou now? The wealthy people there are very different?"

The driver sneered, "Are you kidding? If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand! The Sihai Group is not as good as it used to be! I heard that they couldn't even pay the workers today and owed them a month's salary."

Lin Zhi was surprised and asked, "It's not possible, is it? Has it fallen to this point?"

The driver shook his head and sighed, "Yeah! I can't believe it! Such a big company, it's only been a few years? And it's become like this? We are all looking forward to Li Yunhai coming back and taking over Sihai Group. Maybe he can still save it!"

Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai looked at each other, both of them silent.

The driver sighed and said, "If Sihai Group was still in Li Yunhai's hands, it would definitely be even more powerful now!"

The car drove quickly and soon arrived at the Sihai Villa District next to the Martyrs Cemetery.

Although no one lives in the villa, it has always been managed by the property management.

This house belongs to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai paid the fare and got out of the taxi.

The driver sighed and said, "There's really no one living here. Are you guys going to leave soon? I'll wait for you."

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "No need, thank you. We are not here to look for anyone, we are going home!"

The driver said "oh" and then realized: "You guys are going home? You live here? No way? Are the houses here for sale?"

Li Yunhai ignored him and walked towards the door with Lin Zhi.

The security guard at the door stopped them: "Hey, what are you doing? You are not allowed in here!"

Ding Qiang shouted in a deep voice: "You are blind! This is Mr. Li, don't you know him?"

The two security guards were new and had only seen Li Yunhai's photo but had never seen his real face.

Hearing Ding Qiang's question, they looked at Li Yunhai carefully and exclaimed, "It's really Mr. Li! Hello, Mr. Li! We didn't recognize him and we are sorry for offending him just now. The main reason is that Mr. Li hasn't been back for a long time and he came here by taxi today, so we didn't think of coming here for a while."

Li Yunhai didn't think so and asked, "The villa area has been cleaned, right?"

The security guard nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the property company will arrange people to clean it every day."

Li Yunhai walked into the villa area.

Ding Qiang stepped forward and said, "Boss, we need two cars to get around."

Li Yunhai said, "Go find Chen Hong. She's still at Sihai International Center. The building over there is still mine. She's helping to take care of it. Just tell her that I'm back and ask her to give you two cars to drive."

Ding Qiang replied respectfully: "Understood, Boss."

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi were strolling on the familiar road.

The trees on both sides of the road have grown into towering trees, providing shade and a unique scenery.

Lin Zhi said: "The trees have grown taller, and the environment here feels more beautiful than before!"

Li Yunhai hummed.

The garden is very clean, it seems that the property management is reliable.

Back at the doorstep.

Lin Zhi took out the key and opened the door.

Everything feels so familiar.

No matter how long you have been away from your home, when you return there is always a feeling of returning home.

Linzhi lifted the dust cloth covering the furniture, and a luxurious residence returned to her in an instant.

Li Yunhai sat on the sofa, his mind replaying like a movie, with past scenes appearing in his mind one by one.

When passing by Villa No. 3 just now, Li Yunhai took a special look and found that Shen Xiulan had not returned.

Just before they set out to return to Xizhou, Shen Xiulan also left Hong Kong, but she did not say where she was going.

The relationship between Li Yunhai, Shen Xiulan and Su Wan'er became more tense than ever before.

On the contrary, Guo Wanhua was still as nice to him as ever.

A romantic relationship is indeed the most difficult to maintain.

In the past few years, Li Yunhai has been struggling constantly, struggling with the company and struggling with his relationships. Now, he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he has no time to coax those women.

At this moment, Li Yunhai sunk himself deeply into the sofa.

The past is like smoke, but it has not disappeared.

Li Yunhai seemed to still remember that he and Shen Xiulan had been affectionate in the park nearby.

Waiting for leisure to change but the old people's mind, but the old people's mind is easy to change.

The relationship between Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan, like this sealed-off villa area, has become extremely lonely.

"Yunhai!" Linzhi came over and sat down next to him, saying, "We have to go out and buy some food before we can stay here."

"How about we stay at the Sihai Huatian Hotel? After we buy everything tomorrow, we can come back and stay there."

"Well, that's fine. Staying in a hotel is indeed more convenient." Lin Zhi said helplessly, "I haven't lived here for too long. I have to buy everything again! It's so troublesome! So, don't break up a family casually! It's easy to break up, but hard to reunite!"

Ding Qiang has contacted Chen Hong.

When Chen Hong heard that Li Yunhai had returned to Xizhou, he was surprised and happy and called him immediately.

Li Yunhai answered the phone.

"You're back?" Chen Hong's joy was beyond words.

"Oh! Yes! Don't come over, let's go to the hotel now and you can get two suites for us."

"Okay, I'll do it right away. I'll wait for you guys at the hotel."

Half an hour later, Li Yunhai and his friends arrived at the Sihai Huatian Hotel.

Chen Hong greeted them at the door.

The new girls in the hotel looked at the scene with curiosity.

They didn't understand why Mr. Chen was so humble and enthusiastic today? He actually took the initiative to open the door for a taxi passenger? He even bent over to talk to the person in the car?

Chen Hong's eyes sparkled with light, and he smiled and said, "Boss Li, Boss Lin, you are finally back! Are you planning to stay here for a long time this time?"

Lin Zhi said nothing and looked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai said: "She and her children moved to Hong Kong and she just came back to visit this time."

Chen Hong said in great disappointment: "Then you can stay a few more days! We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you guys very much."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Chen Hong, have you found a boyfriend?"

Chen Hong smiled shyly: "Not yet! I'm still young and my career is my main focus right now. I haven't thought about relationships."

She was at the best age, with a beauty that made people fall in love with her at first sight.

Chen Hong led the way and came to the hotel suite with Li Yunhai and others.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi lived in one suite, and Ding Qiang and his friends lived in another suite.

After checking in, Li Yunhai asked Chen Hong: "Do you know what the current situation of Sihai Group is like?"

Chen Hong thought for a moment and said, "I didn't pay much attention. Since the company changed hands, I stopped paying attention to their movements. But I heard that Sihai Group has a new chairman! The previous one was arrogant and domineering, and he had the final say in the company. He didn't listen to other people's different opinions, and made the company a mess, with complaints everywhere. The company's performance also declined seriously, and it was even to the point where it couldn't pay salaries. So the state-owned capital party removed him and replaced him with another chairman to manage it. I heard that the previous chairman was also placed under double supervision and suspected of embezzling company assets!"

Li Yunhai listened to the news in shock.

That was the once glorious Sihai Group!

Has it fallen to this point?

Li Yunhai did not have much contact with the former chairman of Sihai Group and only had a few phone calls with him. He always felt that the man was unreliable and did not understand how to operate a business.

I didn't expect that guy was such a corrupt official!
In just a few years, that man completely destroyed the Sihai Group!

The current state of Sihai Group is not what Li Yunhai wants.

When he sold the Sihai Group, he was half-hearted.

Because the state-owned capital wanted to buy it, he had to sell it.

If he doesn't sell, he might be targeted or even suffer setbacks.

In this context, and because Li Yunhai had the idea of ​​stepping back, he sold the company.

He originally thought that the state-owned capital had strong financial resources and strength, as well as a large number of talents at its disposal. These were unique advantages that would allow the Sihai Group to grow and develop.

Unfortunately, the prosperous era he imagined did not come.

Sihai Group has reached the point where it can no longer pay salaries!
Lin Zhi said: "Yun Hai, they don't know how to manage a business. I support you to take back Si Hai Group! It has been really ruined in their hands!"

Li Yunhai pondered and said, "Yes! I think so too."

Chen Hong excitedly said, "Great! Mr. Li, please come back! I am willing to serve you!"

Of course, this statement has two meanings, but only the two of them understand it.

Li Yunhai's cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

But not many people know his private number. Since this person can find this number, let’s hear who he is!
Li Yunhai answered the phone and asked, "Who is it?"

A clear and quick female voice came: "Hello, are you Mr. Li Yunhai?"

"I'm Li Yunhai, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Song Huimin, the current chairman of Sihai Group."

"You are the chairman? I hear your voice, how come you sound so young?"

"Boss Li, age is not the limit for ambition. Think about how old Boss Li was when he founded Sihai Group. We can hardly catch up with him!"

"Hehe, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Li, where are you? Can I see you?"

Li Yunhai hesitated but did not answer.

Song Huimin said: "Mr. Li, I know you are not in Xizhou now. No matter where you are, I can come to find you."

"What do you want from me?"

"Mr. Li, this is the case. I have just taken on the role of chairman of Sihai Group and I feel overwhelmed and have no idea where to start, so I would like to seek advice from Li Yunhai. I hope Mr. Li will help me."

"Okay! I was just looking for you to talk!" Li Yunhai said, "Come to Sihai Tianhua Hotel!"

"Si Hai Tian Hua Hotel? Is it in Beijin or Shanghai? Or somewhere else?"

"Of course it's Xizhou!"

"Ah? Mr. Li, are you in Xizhou?"

"Yes, I'm in Xizhou. You're lucky, I just arrived! You called me to make an appointment!"

"Hee, really? That means we are destined to be together! Mr. Li, are you free now? I want to see you right now. I have admired you for a long time!"

"Okay, come over here!" (End of this chapter)
