Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 576: I haven’t seen you for a year?

Five minutes later, Li Yan had just taken a good walk around the office he had been away from for a long time when he heard some messy footsteps outside the door.

"Enter."

A group of people walked in.

The leader was Sun Miao, and at the end was the receptionist girl who had just fainted and was taken to the medical room.

There were seven people in a row, including the front desk girl and her boss, all the way up to Sun Miao.

"I haven't seen you for a year. What happened? Am I dead?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

The girl nearly fainted again. Her immediate supervisor and her supervisor's supervisor immediately supported her on both sides, with fear in their eyes.

Li Yan sighed helplessly, "Why is this necessary?"

"Mr. Li," Sun Miao looked very emotional, "You are finally back!"

As he said this, he felt a little helpless, as if he wanted to kneel down or rush up to hug Li Yan's thighs.

Forcefully changed the subject.

"…Didn't I tell you that I have some things of my own to deal with? A year won't be enough time to complete the meeting we held earlier, right?"

Li Yan smiled.

Sun Miao's heart trembled.

"Mr. Li... I have to admit my mistake first. I have tried my best to follow up on your arrangements, but the progress has indeed not met expectations..."

Li Yan observed that when Sun Miao said these words, the faces of the people who came over with him were as pale as paper.

"It's normal to fail to meet expectations. The plan I set for everyone cannot be completed in one year. If you have finished it, then I will have to carefully check the results."

Sun Miao broke out in a sweat again.

In Li Yan's eyes, this is normal. Whenever he talks to Sun Miao seriously, when has Sun Miao not sweated?

But for others, especially those who have been accustomed to Sun Miao's lofty status and his final say in the past year, it is too new.

Then the inevitable cold sweats began to break out.

"Okay, there are so many people standing in this row, am I that scary?" Li Yan waved her hand, "There's no need to apologize for speaking too quickly, I won't pursue it."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, Mr. Li!" The leader in charge of publicity and training work nodded and bowed, "It's really from our side..."

"I said I won't pursue it."

As soon as Li Yan repeated it, Sun Miao immediately pushed and drove that group of people out of the office.

"Sun Miao, you stay."

Sun Miao turned around and walked stiffly.

"I do know that there will be some messy rumors on the Internet..." Li Yan stood up and walked towards the sofa, motioning Sun Miao to sit down. "At first, people speculated that I was protected. Then, some places that should have shown up didn't show up, so they speculated that I retired at the height of my career and lived a good life. When Future Technology still didn't show up, they said that I was assassinated or that something happened to me, and then it became rampant."

"…Well, that's all bullshit."

"No, no, no, it's normal for them to think this way." Li Yan smiled, "But why would future technology also think this way?"

“No, no!” Sun Miao waved his hands repeatedly, “Well, it was just a front desk clerk who spoke too quickly…”

"Sun Miao, you are being dishonest."

At this moment, thunder was already ringing in Sun Miao's head.

“In fact, for a company of this size, the boss rarely shows up and is hard to see. Even at the year-end meeting, he basically doesn’t show up. Once the company is running, it’s normal for the boss not to show up.” Li Yan said while making coffee.

Sun Miao sat down stiffly, looking at the cup on the table in front of him with unfocused eyes.

"I know several big entrepreneurs who are actually chairmen of large financial groups. They even have to spend money to reduce their presence. They can disappear for three or four years, and there are more rumors. But do you think the people in the company dare to think that they are gone? So the people at the bottom of the company basically won't really believe any rumors just because I was away for a year..."

"Mr. Li..." Sun Miao breathed rapidly.

"In the eyes of most people, you are one of the ones who can understand my actual situation. Therefore, your attitude will actually affect everyone's judgment. I just observed that this group of people obviously respect you."

"Mr. Li!" Sun Miao's hands were shaking, his voice was a little out of control, and he was about to kneel down.

"I am very happy."

Ok?
Sun Miao's legs suddenly lost strength as he was about to kneel down, and he actually knelt down.

But he was confused. Looking at Li Yan's expression, what he just said didn't seem to be yin and yang.

The key point is that given Li Yan's status, there is no need to be yin or yang at all.

"You are ambitious, and that's good."

Sun Miao really didn't know how to react.

"But you are not sincere, this is not good."

Sun Miao didn't know why a voice came to his mind: "Boss Li is very happy that you are willing to take the lead; but if you don't tell the truth, Boss Li will be unhappy."

"Mr. Li," Sun Miao took a deep breath, "I admit that I was a little too proud. After all, you have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I really have no one to rely on. Some decisions can only be made by myself. After the decision was made, everyone's attitude towards me has indeed changed. This... this..."

"It's a very soft and soft sound, isn't it?"

Sun Miao sighed and shook his head, "Yes. I have become the moon surrounded by stars, with exaggerated decision-making power. Mr. Li, decision-making used to be stressful for me. I was afraid of making mistakes, and I always thought that you would support me. Sometimes I had some ideas of my own, but I was too overwhelmed by the pressure to express them."

Li Yan nodded.

"But it's different now. When I have no way out and have to make a decision, I find... no one opposes me. Not one. They will implement all my decisions. In this process, I have developed great self-confidence. I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with the decisions I make, even if they are... personal ideas."

“Well, for example, you still insist on focusing on short videos and long videos on one platform.”

"..."Sun Miao suddenly fell silent.

"The data of long video platforms continues to decline, but short videos are quite popular." Li Yan said, "Do you think this proves that your idea of ​​separating them is correct? If we don't make an average, long videos will have no audience, and short videos are the general trend?"

"Mr. Li, please stop talking." Sun Miao took off his glasses. "With your current status and position, you are still talking about this kind of thing. Even if you don't mind, I dare not listen..."

"What's wrong? Do I have to talk about controlled nuclear fusion to match my status?"

"No, no, it's just that I understand what you said..." Sun Miao said, "That's what I wanted to tell you just now. I was actually confused. I am indeed very confident in my decision, but in the end... it's hard for me to judge whether my decision has brought positive effects."

Li Yan smiled.

"Many decisions, once made, will be implemented, and when implemented, they will generally achieve results... In fact, it is a profound understanding of the logic of 'the rich get richer.' Given the current status and size of future technology, almost anything can be achieved, which does not seem to be related to whether the decision is correct or not."

Li Yan didn't say anything. As long as Sun Miao was willing to speak his mind, he would listen.

"We really have too many resources, which has become a constraint to a certain extent. No matter what decision I make, there are a lot of rules and regulations. I have to be cautious, do good things, and have a sense of responsibility. Therefore, I dare not pursue some extreme interests; I dare not do some destructive operations. However, operations that are in the interests of the majority can easily achieve good results with official support. This feeling... is that I follow the rules, and all decisions are made at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people." "Isn't this good?"

"Okay... but I don't know how much impact my decision has. Sometimes I feel that I have stabilized the future of science and technology, and my decisions are correct, which shows that I am capable enough to become the helmsman of future science and technology; sometimes I feel that all this is just because I stand on a big enough platform and has nothing to do with myself."

"The first 'sometimes', I think, should be nine to one with the second 'sometimes', right?"

Sun Miao was made very embarrassed by what he said and could only quickly drink a sip of coffee to calm down.

"Don't worry, I never thought about you not coming back, and I don't believe those rumors." Sun Miao said, "It's just that over the past period of time, I was indeed a little obsessed. I didn't take the initiative to convey the message that you would not come back, but I also didn't firmly convey the signal that you would definitely come back..."

"This is not called being possessed by evil spirits. It's a good thing that you have some ambitions. It's necessary to face them and think for yourself when you are in this position."

"You're right."

"How do you think you did during the time when you were 'bewitched'?" Li Yan asked.

Sun Miao put on his glasses again and gradually returned to his normal state. "I think... it's not that good."

"which aspect?"

"Pressure resistance. I have to admit that I don't dare to face the influence of Future Technology. Future Technology is by no means just a commercial company... Many of our businesses are lifeline-level, and they not only affect the country, but even the world. Sometimes when I watch the news at night and see that people on the other side of the ocean are not satisfied with our development and want to resort to trickery, I inevitably think of Future Technology's business and our close ties with the government... Then I turn off the TV."

Because Sun Miao didn't want to think about it. Politics was his weak point. It was no problem for him to stay in his own business logic, but if he mixed this thing in, it would be the end of him.

"I understand." Li Yan said, "After all, you rarely meet with senior officials, and you haven't formed your own understanding yet. You will slowly understand it after more contact. It won't have much impact on your actual work."

Unlike the previous negotiations, Sun Miao always had a strange feeling today.

It seems that Li Yan is really ready to entrust the future technology to him this time?
No, no, no, it seems that I have really lost myself in thought. I can even think about such things when we are talking face to face.

"Sun Miao." Li Yan stood up, "Are you ready?"

"Huh?" Sun Miao's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

"Future technology is no longer my focus."

Li Yan walked to the desk and stroked it gently.

All Sun Miao could hear was the sound of his own heart beating.

"You, do you want to retire?"

“Are you excited about this?”

During the days when Sun Miao was getting ahead of himself, he actually looked forward to the day when Li Yan would completely hand over the future technology to him.

Being the boss of such a giant and making decisions that can change the world in a narrow sense is far more satisfying than just making money.

In his own words, he has lost interest in doing anything. This is the ultimate happiness in life.

At this moment, he felt a little panicked from the bottom of his heart.

Just letting him take over when Li Yan is not around is completely different from really letting him be the boss!

"Mr. Li, future technology cannot do without you!"

"Are you honest?"

"Sincerely, it couldn't be more sincere!"

"I'm not going to retreat."

Sun Miao was filled with mixed feelings again. Hey, why didn't he leave? He started to expect Li Yan to just let him be the boss...

People, aren’t they amazing?
"However, I will not be in charge of the daily affairs here. I will just give you some advice from time to time and also suggest the way forward for various matters. In short, you should still follow your own ideas."

"why?"

Sun Miao was so shocked that he asked the questions in his mind directly.

"The upper limit of future technology has almost been reached. Continuing to operate this behemoth will not be of much use in 'changing humanity'. I have more things I want to do." Li Yan said with a smile.

At this moment, Sun Miao felt the gap that was like a chasm.

"Mr. Li, what are you going to do?"

"You'll know it eventually." Li Yan patted his desk. "Sun Miao, from now on, it's a brand new journey... in every sense of the word, brand new."

Sun Miao actually didn’t know what Li Yan was sighing about, but for him, it was indeed a brand new future and a brand new journey.

"Boss Li, then, do you want to have a meeting with Boss Wang and the others?"

"No need." Li Yan waved her hand. "I've already communicated with Wang Zi. As for the others, you don't need me to tell them to listen to you, right?"

Li Yan also gave Sun Miao a USB flash drive containing share distribution, future development direction, and a list of taboos, and told him "not to rely solely on quick tricks," and then left the office in a cool manner.

Sun Miao had nothing to say and could only bow deeply.

Looking back, I joined Future Technology with a little bit of arrogance, just to prove to my old employer, who had been reluctant to promote me, that I am a real gold that is not afraid of fire.

Did you ever think that you would get to this day?
If this is a story told from Sun Miao's first perspective, Li Yan is his plug-in, his "old man in the ring".

However, Li Yan had just walked out of the office when he saw a row of familiar yet unfamiliar leaders standing at the door of the large conference room opposite. Led by Huang Guohui, who had already made a further step forward, they brought the entire Linjiang team and the Xinbei team, like a tour group.

As soon as they saw Li Yan, everyone smiled. Huang Guohui even trotted over in his leather shoes and extended his hand before he even sat down.

"Li Yan, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

Of course Li Yan knew why there was such an enthusiastic attitude.

The anti-missile system has completely changed the international landscape and pushed China's status back to its most prosperous period thousands of years ago. However, during this year, no matter how much effort China put in, it was unable to overcome the technical difficulties that Tianqiong had already solved.

In this situation, the leaders must be very uneasy about Li Yan's disappearance.

If there wasn't enough information to prove that Li Yan had been staying at home, some leaders wouldn't even be able to enjoy their meals.

"Secretary Huang, congratulations."

"Thanks to you!" Huang Guohui looked more energetic than before. "How is it, have you had any sudden realizations during your period of seclusion and cultivation? What kind of surprises can you bring to us?"

Retreat and practice? This statement... is actually correct.

"I won't come out without any gain." Li Yan followed his words.

Unexpectedly, when these words were spoken, everyone at the scene paused, all with shocked expressions.

Huang Guohui also became a little nervous, "What did you gain?"

"New world." Li Yan said.
