Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

The next morning, the driver sent by Lou Xiao'e was waiting in front of Li Tianyi's villa. Li Tianyi walked out of the gate with Xiao Qian and Xiao Zhang, while Xiao Wang stayed at home to protect Li's father and mother.

After getting on the car, Li Tianyi looked at the high-rise buildings around Gangcheng and the rushing traffic on the road, and he sighed in his heart. He hadn't been to Gangcheng for more than ten years, and Gangcheng was developing really fast.

Li Tianyi was sitting in the back seat and Xiao Qian was in the passenger seat. Xiao Qian and the driver were having a good chat because at that time, Hong Kong movies had already entered the mainland, such as Young and Dangerous and martial arts-themed movies. What Xiao Qian wanted to know was whether Hong Kong would be as chaotic as in the movies.

The driver was a native of Gangcheng. Although his understanding of Gangcheng was not comprehensive, he knew more than Li Tianyi and the others. The driver introduced them to the current situation of Gangcheng.

The movie simply used exaggerated techniques to portray some gang fights. In fact, there are gangs in Hong Kong, but they are not like in the movies, with dozens or hundreds of people hacking each other with steel pipes and machetes.

If that were the case, the people of Gangcheng would have no chance to live. Afterwards, Xiao Qian inquired about some other things without leaving any trace, and unknowingly they arrived at the company headquarters.

Li Tianyi and his company are located in a 30-story commercial building near Central. This building was also built by Lou Xiaoe and his company. Floors 20 to 30 are the company's headquarters, and the remaining floors are rented out.

Not only this building, but several buildings near Central belong to their company and are now rented out to other companies as offices.

It was the middle of the working day, and the building was packed with people coming and going.

The driver saw a young and capable girl standing at the entrance of the building. People passing by basically greeted this capable professional woman. The driver also led Li Tianyi and the others to the girl and said, "Secretary Zhang, this is the person the boss asked us to pick up."

Secretary Zhang nodded, the driver bowed slightly, and then returned to the car. After Sijiu left, Secretary Zhang began to introduce himself, "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Xiao Zhang, the secretary of Mr. Lou. Mr. Lou asked me to pick you up."

Li Tian nodded slightly, "Then I'll trouble Secretary Zhang."

Secretary Zhang smiled and then led Li Tianyi into the building. The pedestrians around looked at this scene curiously, wondering what the identities of these three people who were obviously from the mainland were that made Mr. Lou's secretary come down to greet them in person.

Secretary Zhang led Li Tianyi and others into the president's exclusive elevator, which went directly to the president's office on the 30th floor.

Before entering the elevator, Xiao Zhang entered the elevator first, looked around, and confirmed that there was no problem before Li Tianyi and others came in.

Secretary Zhang naturally saw this scene. The smell of military service on Xiao Qian and Xiao Li made Secretary Zhang secretly guess the identity of this Mr. Li.

Mr. Li has a bookish air and a gentle face. He does not have the mercenary temperament of a businessman. This makes it hard for Secretary Zhang to believe that he is another hidden shareholder of the company.

There had been rumors in the company before that there was an invisible shareholder, but no one had seen him in all these years. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li finally showed up today, which inevitably made Secretary Zhang very curious.

Li Tianyi naturally felt Secretary Zhang's subtle scrutiny, but he didn't care. There was no hostility in Secretary Zhang's eyes, so Li Tianyi ignored it.

When the elevator reached the 30th floor, Lou Xiao'e was already waiting at the elevator entrance. When she saw Li Tianyi, she was the first to say with a smile: "You are really hard to hire. It's been nearly 20 years and you've only come to the company once."

Li Tianyi also smiled and said, "Isn't it that I have a strong woman like you in the company? I feel relieved."

Lou Xiao'e chuckled, "Brother Li, you are still so good at talking. Please come over here. Your office has been prepared for you for 20 years, but you have never been in it."

Zhang Baiyao, who was following behind Lou Xiao'e, had never seen his mother so happy. Even when facing his father, she was dignified and proper. The two of them were like familiar strangers.

However, facing Mr. Li who came from the mainland, his mother's emotions fluctuated greatly. Since she learned that Mr. Li was coming, she has been making preparations to welcome Mr. Li. Although his mother did not tell him the specific identity of Mr. Li, he guessed that he should also be a senior official in the mainland.

Everyone came to the president's office, and after Xiao Qian and Secretary Zhang left, Lou Xiao'e formally introduced her son.

"Brother Li, you may have noticed that I want to step down, so I want to hand over the company to my second son Zhang Baiyao."

Li Tianyi glanced at Zhang Baiyao. Zhang Baiyao had been standing respectfully behind Lou Xiaoe since he entered the room.

"Xiao'e, I understand what you mean. You have worked hard over the years. If you feel Baiyao is capable of doing the job, you can let him take over."

"Thank you, Brother Li." Lou Xiao'e showed gratitude, then looked at Zhang Baiyao behind her, "Why don't you thank you, Uncle Li."

Zhang Baiyao bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Tianyi waved his hand and said, "Work hard, and discuss anything with your mother."

Seeing that the issue of succession had been discussed, Lou Xiaoe asked about the company's development, "Brother Li, what do you think of the future development of our company?"

Li Tianyi thought for a while, then said: "Now the mainland's economy is developing faster and faster. You have also established several factories in the mainland. You should know that the mainland will be a big pie, so the company's main focus in the future will be to enter the mainland."

"Also, you can invest in advance in the companies I asked you to pay attention to. We don't want the dominant power, as long as we have a certain amount of shares, then we can just sit back and wait to collect the money."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and Zhang Baiyao behind her spoke at this time, "Uncle Li, you came from the mainland, and you know the customs and people of the mainland better than us. Do you think our company in Hong Kong can really develop in the mainland?"

Li Tianyi did not answer his question, but smiled at Lou Xiaoe. Zhang Baiyao was confused.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her silly son. Now it was time to introduce Li Tianyi's identity, so Lou Xiao'e said, "Bai Yao, your uncle Li and I have already considered what you can consider. It's just that you don't know your uncle Li's identity, so you have this doubt."

Zhang Baiyao was full of confusion. Even if he was a high-ranking official in the mainland, he would not dare to seek benefits for himself so blatantly, right?

"Your Uncle Li is a lieutenant general of the Xinhua State. The state has investigated all of his assets in Gangcheng and the situation of our company very clearly, and has also tacitly acknowledged their existence."

Zhang Baiyao took a breath of cold air. He didn’t expect Uncle Li’s status to be so high! ! !
