Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 542 Don’t use my avatar
"...This is why I came back." Li Yan shook his head and got out of the car.

The door to the Lincheng Chamber of Commerce headquarters has been opened, and a group of famous entrepreneurs from Lincheng are standing in a row inside, welcoming guests with smiles.

The scene was so familiar that Li Yan was numb.

"This is the president of our Lincheng Stainless Steel Association... This is the CEO of a very famous property company in Southeast Asia... This is..."

Secretary Luo and Mayor Liu introduced the dishes one by one, just like reading out the names of dishes. Li Yan smiled back at them one by one.

"Many bosses flew back from Southeast Asia just to see you!" Mayor Liu smiled happily.

“Private jets can’t be that fast, right?” Li Yan also laughed.

Mayor Liu's smile immediately disappeared, and he looked like he wanted to slap himself.

Cheng Hao, the president of Lincheng Chamber of Commerce, was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and motioned for everyone to come in and sit down.

This group of smart people naturally gave the two leaders and Li Yan some space to be alone while they were walking.

"Li Yan, President Li," Secretary Luo said with a smile, "I'll tell you the truth. We did learn in advance that you would be coming back this year."

Li Yan didn't need to ask, it must have been Li Chun who revealed it.

As for why... he didn't have any strong guess for the time being.

"Don't be surprised," Secretary Luo said, "In any case, from a safety perspective, we should know your plans for your return, otherwise it will be difficult to arrange security along the way."

"It seems I will have to take a roundabout way next time?" Li Yan teased.

Unexpectedly, Secretary Luo's face changed immediately:
"My brother, please don't run around by yourself. If you need everyone to be more low-key, you can make your request and we will definitely meet it. But your security is a big task. If something really happens, none of us can bear the responsibility."

"It's okay. Lin Jiang is always here to protect me. I can't get rid of him, and I don't want to." Li Yan shrugged. "Thanks for your hard work."

"Can't talk about it, can't talk about it."

As soon as she entered the reception room, Li Yan couldn't hold it anymore.

The reception room is made entirely of solid wood, and in the center there is an enormous root-carved tea table, which is probably large enough to accommodate more than ten people sitting around it.

The space has a height of 6 meters, enough for playing badminton. In terms of scale, this place for drinking tea is quite impressive.

The key point is that behind the main tea-making seat, on a white wall, there is a huge portrait of Li Yan hanging.

Li Yan herself was invited to sit opposite the main seat.

Just facing the huge portrait of myself.

It's amazing...

The key point is that no one in this group of people found it strange.

"To be honest," Li Yan got straight to the point after a few pleasantries, "I want to go home this year, and one of the key points is to get to know our Lincheng Chamber of Commerce."

The eyes of the group of people were wide open.

“Why do you want to put my profile picture?”

This group of people actually looked very shocked.

What the hell? Is it natural to hang up my portrait and promote personality cult?

"You know, Mr. Li, in our Lin City, you can worship whoever can bless you."

Li Yan was shocked, "You guys are still worshipping me?!"

"Here." A younger man stood up and ran behind the screen, carefully holding a statue in a suit and came out, "I asked a non-material cultural heritage master to make a golden statue for you."

The teacup in Li Yan's hand was almost crushed.

Wei Yunzhi was trying to hold back his laughter, but the computer crashed as soon as the statue appeared.

"In our eyes, you are a deity on the level of the God of Wealth. When has Lincheng ever produced a deity of your level?" Cheng Hao smiled, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Li Yan, then sat down and poured a cup for Wei Yunzhi.

"That can't be said." Li Yan shook her head. "In any case, we shouldn't engage in personality cult."

"Oh," Cheng Hao waved his hands repeatedly, "We had a number one scholar in Lin City many years ago, and we still worship him today, right? Secretary Luo? Mr. Li, you are much more awesome than the number one scholar. You are now the totem and spiritual symbol of the businessmen in Lin City!"

"I still say the same thing, don't engage in personality cult, it's boring." Li Yan's expression was serious.

The laughing atmosphere at the scene changed instantly.

"Why are you so dissatisfied with the cult of personality?" Secretary Luo asked.

"Since we are at the Lincheng Chamber of Commerce, I will say a few more words. Management is a discipline and a science. The management and stability of a large company are attributed to mature mechanisms and systems, not just the personal worship of the boss. The boss cannot manage too many details, nor should he manage so much. A good operating mechanism can turn a company into a real power machine. The helmsman should never check problems personally, and should not add fuel to the engine himself."

"Do you mean that this will also be true for future technology?" Cheng Hao asked.

"Of course. For such a large company, I basically only manage the directors under me. You don't think that the intensity of the directors' management of other employees comes from their personal charm, right?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, you are the most powerful personality cult in Future Technology!" Cheng Hao said, "This is the naked experience of success."

"I tell you all this because I don't want you to think that personality cult is a good path and then go astray. If a company wants to take root and grow for dozens, hundreds of years or even longer, it must have a scientific and effective management system, and everyone must work in accordance with this system."

Everyone was lost in thought, but most of them were frowning.

Because it was too strange for Li Yan to say this, as he was clearly the representative of someone who created miracles single-handedly, and he was clearly the culprit who made Future Technology's elites doubt their own value. Regardless of how much Future Technology's current good operating conditions were related to its management model, the personal worship of Li Yan must have played a vital role.

Li Yan noticed everyone's confusion and waved her hand gently, "I'm different."

…Now it’s the turn of others to have downtime.

But judging from the way several bosses were desperately taking notes, I hope they were able to listen to it.

Li Yan didn't want to "attend class", but he also didn't want to solve the problem with the excuse of "it's too high-profile and affects my safety", so he gave everyone a way out and then asked for it to be removed later.

It's not good to let it ferment.

Especially after a conversation, Li Yan also understood why the people in Lincheng respected him so much.

Lincheng is a place where clan power is very strong, and official influence is relatively weak, which means that there are some struggles that are not so obvious.

Winning these struggles is the most valuable proof of your strength.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

Li Yan, the dragon that left Lin City, came back and directly suppressed the boss of the local snakes in Lin City, the underground emperor of Linjiang.

The two major leaders of Lincheng were also replaced. In their eyes, this was also Li Yan's work.

Although there is indeed a close relationship...

Therefore, they not only have an envy and expectation for Li Yan's blessing, but also a sense of awe - including the two leaders who took this opportunity to go a step further.

This is the reason why, when he returned home for the New Year, he devoted himself to serving the village, the Lincheng Chamber of Commerce, and the government without asking for money.

Li Yan didn't have time to explain the whole thing to them. If this twisted cult of personality was really allowed to spread and ferment, one fan would be worth ten haters.

Even these people's praises were not to the point, which made Li Yan feel numb. "Mr. Li, you are in a high position, but you can still not be deceived by slander. It's really amazing."

"At such a young age, he is so courageous, and his methods are ruthless but bloodless. It is really admirable."

"If you don't make a move, it's fine. But once you make a move, it'll shake the world!"

Li Yan didn't dare to think about what version of her story was circulating in Lin City.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, everyone seemed to want to keep Li Yan for lunch but were afraid to do so, so Li Yan simply took the initiative to say that she wanted to go home.

A group of people nodded and said "what a pity".

"Mr. Li, before we part, I hope you can give us some advice. We all know your style, so we didn't prepare any gifts this time, and we don't expect you to stay for dinner, but since it's a rare trip for you to visit your hometown and the Chamber of Commerce, we sincerely hope you can give us some guidance."

"Don't use my profile picture anymore..."

"Take it down right away!" Although Secretary Luo was a little disappointed, he kept smiling and was arranging people to clean up the posters and photos.

"The entire Qiaoxi District has a certain industrial foundation. I remember when I was a child, it was called the Automobile Town. If you are interested and meet the requirements within half a year, I will send a factory here."

In a word, an industry was established for Lincheng.

Even after Li Yan left, Secretary Luo and Mayor Liu were still restless.

"Secretary Luo," Cheng Hao also watched Li Yan's car leave, and then asked, "Are these posters and photos really going to be removed?"

"He emphasized it once more before getting on the bus, so, withdraw immediately."

"Have you ever thought that your influence has become so great?" Wei Yunzhi said with a smile.

“It’s quite unexpected in form.”

"Yan," the little beauty pursed her lips, "You are really so detached now."

"Like it?"

"I like it. But you said Linjiang's protection is always there?"

"There's the second white car in front of us on the right, two black cars behind us, and two military vehicles following us closely. And there's also a helicopter in the sky."

"Ah?" Wei Yunzhi was stunned. "In the sky... I thought those helicopters were doing exercises."

“The license plates have all been changed.”

"what?!"

“Almost every time we stopped at a place, someone would help us change the license plate.”

Unexpectedly, a few words made the little beauty nervous again, "Is it so dangerous? Then we won't go out anymore!"

"It's okay. It's very safe in China." Li Yan said with a smile. "On the one hand, they are indeed worried about unexpected accidents, especially traffic accidents. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a series of pressures from top to bottom. They can't afford any accidents to happen to me now."

"I can't bear it any more."

Li Yan glanced at the beautiful girl blankly and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

After staying for three days, Li Yan returned to New Taipei with Wei Yunzhi. Li Chun and Chen Fengling were still enjoying the game of favors and planned to stay for a while before returning to New Taipei. Anyway, Li Yan was relieved with the protection of Lin Cheng.

"Hey, we didn't go to look for Xiaolin." Wei Yunzhi suddenly reacted. She tied her hair into a ponytail and sat on the sofa in Li Yan's office reading a book.

"Zhiyuan has a bunch of relatives to visit on the first, second and third days of junior high school, so it's not convenient for me to go see him. This kid got admitted to Linda University, and he's embarrassed to give him a Lamborghini." Li Yan smiled, "When he returns to New Taipei, I'll ask Xiao Gao to drive the car to him. I'll make him drive a Lamborghini to school after the winter vacation."

"You have a really good relationship with him."

Li Yan nodded.

In fact, there is another unspeakable reason why his friendship with Lin Zhiyuan is so deep.

Lin Zhiyuan was the first person he thought of after he was reborn, besides his parents.

It can be said that on that afternoon full of expectation yet confusion, it was the appearance of Lin Zhiyuan that established a new connection between Li Yan and the past world.

"Am I special to you too?" Wei Yunzhi suddenly asked.

"of course."

You are my first lover in both my lifetimes.

Just one sentence, "Of course," was enough to make Wei Yunzhi's heart overflow with satisfaction.

"It's a new year again. What are your plans for this year, Boss Li?"

Li Yan suddenly had a strange feeling.

Mingming often talked about these work matters with Wei Yunzhi, but after expressing his feelings just now, the girl brought it up on her own initiative, and he actually felt a little...

It feels like a couple's conversation.

It is so peaceful and so soothing.

In this lively atmosphere of the New Year, it makes people feel like they are living a down-to-earth life.

Like an anchor tied to the human world.

"The new energy vehicle Kirin will be officially released after the new year, but I don't have any pressure on it. Success is inevitable and there is no need to invest any energy in it. The construction of Future City needs to see results. The company's office will also be moved and I will build a more comfortable office. The rest of the time, I will invest in some research."

"For example?"

"In life sciences, you can't be the only one working hard."

Of course, Li Yan didn’t say the most crucial sentence.

"All skills have reached 90% progress."

The girl walked over to Li Yan with the book, pulled a chair over and sat together, and immersed herself in the academic exchange that the two of them enjoyed the most.

"Research on the effective ingredients of Chinese medicinal materials. Are you sure you want to study this direction?" After just a few words, Wei Yunzhi was so shocked that he sat up straight.

"Yes, I have always believed that empiricism should have a more scientific form."

"Yan, I believe you should know more than me." The girl said seriously, "My father knows a supplier of Chinese medicinal materials. This is a very, very, very big industry."

"I know." Li Yan smiled and touched Wei Yunzhi's head. "I gave the highest award to the fund for the life science research project. They did find out the symptomatic components of some herbs, but I hope they can combine the characteristics of the herbs themselves to find out the properties of multiple elements in combination. Let's see if they can learn from nature and get inspiration from our ancestors to make special-effect drugs that are more suitable for the human body and have fewer side effects."

“It’s going to be very stressful.”

"So I'll take it on," Li Yan said. "Having come this far, isn't it for the sake of being a leader, a flag bearer, a beacon, a charge or something like that?"

The girl looked at Li Yan.

"Besides, if I take action, this won't be a task that is so complicated that it cannot be carried out."

Wei Yunzhi kissed him.
