After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

I thought he would be the son of a foreign financial group, or a well-known tycoon in the investment world, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be the young master of the Lin family.

"Are you serious? This..." Xu Dong felt a little confused. "If Sirius is really Mr. Lin Yun's company, then doesn't this mean..."

"Yes, I stole my uncle's business." Lin Yun responded with a smile, crossing his hands naturally in front of his knees. "I am attending as the chairman of Sirius. My identity has nothing to do with the Lin family. Please don't mind it."

"Oh, so that's it..." Xu Dong couldn't stop looking at Lin Yun.

I have seen him before, at the hearing. At that time, Lin Yun gave people the impression of being dull and frivolous, but the handsome young man in front of me exudes a completely opposite temperament.

When Lin Yun talked about the future development plan of Hengxin Electromechanical, Xu Dong felt his worldview was overturned...

44. Don't be afraid of stupid children

Xu Dong has always been concerned about the stability of the factory and especially the future of the employees.

He just wanted to cash out and leave because he couldn't make any money, but he still had some feelings for his employees.

But Xu Dong really didn't think about what the future business direction of Hengxin Mechanical and Electrical would be. The domestic mid- and low-end processing and manufacturing had begun to be saturated, and there was a fierce competition for foreign trade orders. The prices were kept very low, and the profits were meager.

I don’t have the ability to do anything more high-end.

The main problem is still lack of money. If they want to change the business direction, they have to spend a lot of money to transform the production line. Xu Dong himself cannot come up with so much money, and he does not think that Hengxin’s new owner will invest so much in Hengxin.

However, according to Lin Yun, Sirius will not only invest, but also invest heavily.

"New energy will continue to be a hot spot for investment in the next few years. About five to eight years later, the localization of new energy vehicles will drive a series of changes in the industrial structure... We are targeting this time node." Lin Yun wrote and drew on the whiteboard to make his ideas clear. "Hengxin will become the first-tier electric vehicle parts supplier in China."

Xu Dong was a little bit incredulous: "Boss Lin... you said that new energy will be popular, I believe it, stock traders all say so, it is written in the national development outline, but the cars... look at the cars on the road, they are all joint venture cars, can the independent brands stand out? Besides, electric cars themselves may not work. I heard many people who know cars in the factory say that electric cars are..."

"Exactly, toys?" Lin Yun said what Xu Dong wanted to say, and then comforted him: "The current technology is certainly not good enough, and it will develop very quickly in the future. As for whether the independent brand can work... I will send you a few industry research reports later. They are all useful information, not articles to deceive investors."

The development of any industry is not a castle in the air that rises out of thin air.

Looking back from the perspective of someone who has experienced the future, 2014 was a critical time point for the automotive industry.

This year, many electric vehicle patents were made public, and no longer required the payment of patent fees to use them. It was also this year that many car manufacturing companies sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

Most of them went bankrupt in the next few years. The companies that survived had some experience and accumulated their own technologies based on public patents.

Electric cars at the current stage do not really make people see the prospects of the so-called "new energy". The range is generally just over 100 kilometers, which can be called a large-scale old man's car.

The driving experience is also terrible. Driving is like driving a boat, and riding in a car is like being in prison.

Even because the chassis structure is subtly different from traditional gasoline vehicles, there are generally indescribable quality control issues...

But from another perspective, only industries that are in need of reconstruction need investment, while new capital entering mature industries is only fit to eat leftovers.

Lin Yun has a clear view of the future trends and has no worries about falling into traps, so of course he has to enter the market early to grab market share.

Factory Director Xu Dong seemed to understand and was unsure about Lin Yun's judgment, but since the other party was willing to invest money, it was always a good thing. If Lin Yun was really the helmsman of Sirius, Xu Dong was willing to believe him.

The most important thing right now is actually layoffs. According to the plan, Sirius will lay off about 30% of its employees and recruit new employees according to demand.

The layoff list had already been decided during the negotiations. The workshop workers, who accounted for the largest proportion, had been notified in advance and their next jobs had been found.

Sirius had not entered the domestic market before Hengxin. However, the private economy near Beicang City is well developed, with many factories, and they are generally willing to accept laid-off workers at a salary similar to their original wages.

They are all skilled workers with no problems in terms of quality. Moreover, because they have worked in Hengxin for a long time, they have settled down in Beicang and will not run away easily. In fact, the bosses are very welcoming to them.

What really requires Mr. Bai to spend his energy on re-employing are actually the laid-off technical personnel.

At this moment, the market demand for mechanical and electrical engineers is not very high, especially for older technicians whose areas of expertise have already been established. Compared with young people, their speed and willingness to learn new things are much slower.

Xu Dong looked through the list of layoffs in the technical department and sighed, "Alas... they are all excellent old guys, college graduates from the 2000s, with a solid foundation and are willing to work hard..."

Bai Jiangbo smiled and said, "Please rest assured. I have already entrusted Sirius's partners to find a new company in the province that is interested in them. We have the recommendation letter. If the new company comes to do a background check, we will also try our best to speak well of them."

"Boss Bai is thoughtful."

"It was Boss Lin who gave the order. If you want to thank someone, then thank Boss Lin."

Xu Dong glanced at Lin Yun, and suddenly showed a playful expression. He pointed to a place in the table and said, "You want to lay off Wang Chuanxin, but I remember very clearly that Engineer Wang is engaged in embedded development, and the new project should also need him... Is it because of his daughter?"

What Xu Dong didn’t expect was that Lin Yun actually admitted it openly: “Yes, his daughter and I have some conflicts. His daughter… is very hostile to me.”

"So, we're going to target her father?"

"Out of sight, out of mind. Her daughter likes to come to her father's company to get involved. I don't like to keep potential trouble around me. Besides, her father didn't suffer any loss. The new position I recommended to him is in the neighboring Nantang City. It takes less than two and a half hours to drive there, and the salary has increased by 20%. This doesn't count as surgery, right?"

"Boss Lin is right...I used the wrong words."

"It's ok."

Lin Yun's attitude was confident and his logic was clear, which Xu Dong admired very much.

There are very few young people who are so decisive and able to do things smoothly without leaving any flaws.

The rich kids Xu Dong had come into contact with were either cruel and unscrupulous, or indecisive and could not express anything.

However, Lin Yun’s idea was very simple.

Wang Yuni is one of the female protagonists, and she is the type with mental problems and a bad temper. The best way to deal with this kind of woman is to keep a distance from her.

Let the heroine's father serve as an important technical staff in the company controlled by Lin Yun... What if the male protagonist comes in the future and uses this line to cause trouble?

There is no need to worry if she is laid off, and there is no possibility of running into Wang Yuni in the company in the future.

Today, all the people from the technical department arrived and waited near the HR office. The HR department announced the layoff list and called each person in turn to go through the procedures to receive compensation. The N+1 compensation was given in full.

The people who were laid off looked a little disappointed, but after receiving the compensation they returned to normal, and some were even smiling.

After all, there is no worry about finding a new job and the compensation is also generous. There are actually very few private companies that can provide sufficient severance pay these days.

The funniest thing was Wang Yuni, who came with her father. When she first saw the layoff list, she looked incredulous. Lin Yun remembered that she had an inexplicably good impression of Sirius. She probably thought that her father would not be laid off.

When her father came out of the Personnel Department, Wang Yuni's expression improved again.

It can be called Sichuan Opera face changing.

Lin Yun stood on the corridor, overlooking the pantomime through the one-way translucent glass, and shook his head helplessly.

This heroine is just a stupid kid, there is no need to be afraid of her. The one who really deserves vigilance is Xu Jingyi.

Coincidentally, after finishing work, Lin Yun went to a pastry shop near Hengxin to buy puffs, which Jiang Qianxi loved to eat.

Then I met Xu Jingyi.

45. Xu Jingyi's blind date

Xu Jingyi's outfit was still the same mature OL suit, the only difference from the last time they met at Hengxin was that she had on a lighter makeup and a fresher lipstick color.

Lin Yun did not let down his guard because human beings are a despicable species and they often pretend to be innocent when they want to do something bad.

When he arrived, Xu Jingyi was already in the middle of the line, and the customers in front and behind her consciously kept a distance from her farther than the appropriate social distance.

Although they are all beautiful girls, some are easily targeted by criminals when they go out, while others make people involuntarily stay away from them.

Xu Jingyi belongs to the latter, she has a striking sharpness.

Even when she walked outside the school in her school uniform, few people would regard her as a student, let alone the expensive stockings and high heels.

"Lin Yun, come here." Xu Jing waved at him.

"I don't like cutting in line." Lin Yun shook his head and queued up obediently at the back of the line.

So Xu Jingyi gave up his original position and stood behind Lin Yun.

Lin Yun asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"

"I've already told you that I'm interested in you. It's so hard to meet you, why don't we chat a little?"

"But I'm not interested in you."

"Don't be so resistant. I'm not someone like Wang Yuni."

"What kind of person is Wang Yuni?"

"A fool who thinks he is righteous but is actually very annoying."

"...I thought you had a good relationship with her, at least you could be considered best friends." Lin Yun was a little surprised.

Wang Yuni shook her head meaningfully: "Yes, it's true, but we're just playmates. You're a smart person, there's no need to be so evasive when talking to you, that would make you seem insincere."

"Don't think too highly of me, Auntie. I'm not a smart person at all." Lin Yun complained with a bitter face, "I can't even get into the top 100 in the science class..."

"Grades are only one dimension of the mind. Einstein's math level was not even good enough to pass the university preparatory class in the eyes of the Copenhagen School, but he made an indelible contribution to modern physics." Xu Jing paused, a sincere smile bloomed on the corners of her lips, "Lin Yun, I really want to get to know you."

"What's the benefit of knowing me? Can it help you produce more big news?"

"I won't cause you any trouble."

"You've already caused me trouble." Lin Yun tried to put on a fierce expression, "Ever since you wrote bad things about my family in the news, grandma has been obsessed with finding out who's behind it. The atmosphere in Yangxin Pavilion has become so scary that I don't even dare to go back!"

Have they actually started to purge the inside... Xu Jingyi was secretly shocked. She never thought that the inside information she found out from the information that Lin Yun occasionally let slip would cause such a big disturbance after it was exposed. Thinking of this, Xu Jingyi felt very happy.

The bigger and more fun things get, the happier she is. From the perspective of worldly interests, she needs to get enough traffic. From the perspective of personal hobbies, she is a fun-loving person who is afraid of chaos in the world.

However, Lin Yun said this as if he wanted to draw a line between himself and her. In the circle of rich kids, the unspoken rule is not to talk about adults' affairs. If you start talking about the situation at home, it proves that the other party wants to distance themselves from you.

This was indeed the purpose of Lin Yun mentioning the situation in Yangxin Pavilion.

However, how could Xu Jingyi let him have his wish? She looked at Lin Yun with interest, a naughty smile flashed in her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Are you free tonight?"

"I'm busy. I have to accompany Qianxi."

"That means I'm free..."

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

As if she didn't understand Lin Yun's words, Xu Jing made a phone call on her own.

at this time……

In the hotel next to Beicang International Art Center, the presidential suite was finally cleaned and restored to its original state, and the source of the mysterious stench was finally found.

After many twists and turns, the security guards found the can of herring in a tricky corner of the ventilation duct.

He should have gone to the roof through the fire escape and put the cans in through the independent pipe entrance of the presidential suite on the roof. It's so vicious!

However, the criminal seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the hotel and did not leave any traces in the surveillance video.

Speaking of people who are familiar with the hotel... Lin Yun's figure flashed through Niu Zihao's mind, but he soon felt that the idea was so ridiculous.

How could Lin Yun have so many thoughts?

Regardless of who the criminal is, at least the room is habitable again, so Niu Zihao moved back last night and called the two female internet celebrities to come and play. They had so much fun that the sky turned pale, in order to comfort his heart that was hit by Teacher Gao.

It cannot be said that Niu Zihao's musical journey has been smooth sailing, but at least all his hard work in the past was rewarded. However, he was criticized by Teacher Gao as a piece of shit, and Niu Zihao was really upset.

After waking up during the day, his mother called him again. After listening to his report, she first scolded her son for being useless, and then said it didn't matter. In short, his mother would definitely use the greatest resources to support him in the future, and he should not let it go to waste because of this setback.

Of course, Lin Yun’s dear aunt still had some humanity. She did not continue to assign music-related tasks to her son, but instead ordered Niu Zihao to go on a blind date.

"Blind date?" Niu Zihao was stunned. This gap was indeed a bit too big. After all, he was only in the third year of high school and he wanted to go on a blind date? ?

"It's like this... Didn't uncle mess up a takeover deal a while ago? Actually, it can't be said that it was uncle who messed it up. In the final analysis, it was the little girl from the Xu family in Nantang who got the news from somewhere and exposed a weakness of our family."

"Oh, I heard that the WeChat article is still very popular." Niu Zihao gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, are we just going to swallow our anger and not settle the score with them?"

"Of course we have to settle accounts... But the article, including the information about the little girl, was all done by myself. I hardly used any help from my family, and I didn't use any shady tricks. And specifically regarding this acquisition, it was indeed my uncle who was careless in doing things first." The other party sighed, "There are rules in the circle. The younger generation should solve the problems they have caused themselves. As an elder, how can you force a high school student to be embarrassed? Besides, our Lin family and Nantang Xu family have always had a good relationship. Uncle Xu has already criticized his daughter for this matter and said that he owes us a favor."

That is indeed the truth...

After listening to his mother's explanation for a long time, Niu Zihao finally understood a little: "Oh, so it's all written off like that?"

"Yes, about that favor, grandma means... hasn't she always wanted to find a grandson to marry into the Xu family? Unfortunately, Xu Jingyi has never been interested in this... Take this opportunity to let Xu Jingyi give the Lin family some face, and let her choose one of the candidates of the right age, meet alone, have a meal, and have a good chat..."

Niu Zihao's eyes lit up: "She picked me?!"

"...Not yet. Except for the fourth child, all the families have sent their children's resumes and are waiting for Xu Jing to make a selection."

"It feels so weird. A man from the Lin family has become like a male guest on a dating show, and can be picked and chosen at will?" Niu Zihao was a little sad and angry.

But my mother said as a matter of course, "What else can we do? Old Xu only has this one precious daughter. Besides, Xu Jingyi is only in her third year of high school, but she is already a nationally renowned self-media. It is said that she has also written internal reports for provincial leaders. Let alone high school students, even those in their twenties, who can be as outstanding as her?"

“……”Niu Zihao was speechless.

Indeed, Xu Jingyi is very capable, with a strong and charming appearance, and a seductive temperament. She is the kind of woman that Niu Zihao dares not pursue at all.

If I could take this opportunity to show her my charm as a future leader in the Chinese music scene...

Niu Zihao got excited!

But he soon thought of a very realistic problem:

"Mom, since all the brothers and sisters of the right age have a chance, Xu Jingyi... shouldn't choose me, right?"

46. ​​The villain becomes the heroine’s blind date?
