most difficult city

The next day, I went to the company to meet Gu Qi, but I couldn't find any clues about him being dumped.Yu Baichu didn't know whether he should be relieved or disappointed.On Monday, Mr. Shi temporarily held a meeting above the director level. At the meeting, Gu Qi had a clear mind and talked eloquently, which greatly impressed Mr. Shi.After the meeting, Mr. Shi chatted with Yu Baichu privately, and Gu Qi was full of praise.

"That guy named Gu Qi is very good, you didn't miss it. The project he hosts can be invested a lot of money, especially in promotion."

Mr. Shi is in a bad situation now, looking for life-saving straws everywhere, there is a cold market outside, and there are open and secret struggles between various departments and factions inside. Explosive.

"Boss Shi, Gu Qi can't solve Shiguang's problem." Yu Baichu ruthlessly broke his fantasy.

Mr. Shi's surname is Shi Minglin. He joined the online game army at the beginning of this century. From acting as an agent of Japanese and Korean games to independent development, he has made a lot of money.But at that time, Shi Lin's thinking was not open enough and he failed to go public in time. After the advent of the mobile game era, he was also the late transition among his peers, and his performance plummeted.At that time, Yu Baichu resolutely invested in Shiguang shortly after returning to China, and guided Shi Lin as an investor not to be obsessed with the hot stand-alone mobile games and instead to create heavy mobile online games, thus creating the first explosion after Shiguang's transformation. A year later, Shiguang successfully backdoored its listing.

But Shi Lin, who was getting older, began to rest on his laurels. After the IP boom came, Shiguang dominated the best-selling list for a period of time by re-adapting popular online games more than ten years ago, and there has been no sensational product since then.At the same time, an unhealthy trend came from nowhere, the cost of product promotion was getting higher and higher, R&D funds were being cut back and forth, and skin-changing games flooded the entire market. As a result, Shiguang was gradually kicked out of the ranks of first-line game companies, and the people below evolved from shirking responsibility to slandering and calculating each other.

This company is almost rotten.

Yu Baichu's words made Shi Lin's face gloomy like a dark cloud, his right index finger tapped the desk without rhythm, and Yu Baichu, who was sitting opposite him, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely.

After a while, Shi Lin let out a long sigh.

"For so many years, I've been a frightened bird, afraid of being eliminated every day. I seem to have been eliminated at this point. I suddenly want to breathe a sigh of relief, and I don't have to worry about it anymore, but I am not reconciled, Bai Chu, I'm really not reconciled."

Yu Baichu was speechless, Shi Lin suddenly stood up and forced Yu Baichu across the desk, "Baichu, you must have a way."

"Let's lay off staff and reorganize."

"Is there no other way? What will the outside world think of us after layoffs? There is also a lot of employee compensation."

"If you don't lay off employees, find someone who is willing to take over and sell the company before it dies!"

Yu Baichu didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he got up and left.

Not far from the CEO's office, Yu Baichu bumped into Li Conan.Li Cong'an called Yu Zong flatteringly, Yu Baichu twitched the corners of his mouth in disgust, and nodded in response.

Li Cong'an was single-handedly promoted by Shi Lin, so one can imagine what kind of stuff Shiguang's management is.

Passing through Li Cong'an's department, Yu Baichu took a few extra glances inside. A group of women were chatting about gossip topics that had nothing to do with work, and almost everyone had dessert coffee on their tables.Two beautiful long-haired women came from the direction of the tea room. When they saw him, they gathered around him to compete for favor and flattery.

Yu Baichu was very annoyed, and asked, "Are you all free? It seems that I have to remind Mr. Li about the cost consumption of his department."

It's all because he is usually too easy-going, making this group of people no big or small, and they hunt him like a butterfly all day long.

Afterwards, Li Cong'an went to his office to explain the department's situation, and swore to God that he didn't waste any resources of the company, and that the employees under him were serious and hardworking, and there was no such thing as passive sabotage.

The more Yu Baichu listened, the more annoyed he became. Gao Chen and him have known how to read words and expressions for many years, and drove Li Cong'an away with all kinds of efforts.

"Go and call Gu Qi." Yu Baichu said to Gao Chen.

"Mr. Gu is going on a business trip to Beijing, the plane is at three o'clock, and he just left."

Yu Baichu was so angry that he didn't say anything to him when he was on a business trip!

These days when Gu Qi was away, he hardly showed up in Shiguang, and ran to Zhan Xingshan's house every now and then.Zhan Xingshan's daughter Jiajia is no longer afraid of him after going there more times, and her parents will play with him when they are busy.Zhan Xingshan watched him deal with his daughter's clumsy appearance, and pulled him out of Jiajia's sight and drove to a nearby bar for a drink.

Yu Baichu drank very hard, as if he had been suppressed for a long time.

"You have become very irritable recently, is there something on your mind?"

"No."

"Is it because of that Gu Qi?"

Yu Baichu was taken aback, and his drinking movements slowed down.

"Ashan, why did you get married? And why did you marry Li Tingting?"

"I'm not you, why don't you get married? Tingting is very good, I like her, why can't I marry her?"

"You haven't known her for long."

Zhan Xingshan is a typical man with a high degree of education in science and engineering. He has excellent grades since he was a child, and went to a prestigious school. He has never had a girlfriend before meeting Li Tingting.Li Tingting and Li Tingting also got to know each other through someone's introduction. The two got married and had a baby in less than a year.

It was difficult for Yu Baichu to understand. Could two strange men and women understand each other comprehensively in such a short period of time, from their personality and hobbies to their daily routine?

"So I'm very lucky. The first person I associate with is the last one. Don't worry about me, just think about yourself."

Yu Baichu drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

He has known Gu Qi for five years.From being indifferent to paying attention to his every move in the past five years, the more he pays attention, the more he is walking on thin ice. This has never been experienced in the previous partner.

"Ashan, I never thought I would suffer as much as I am now."

The next day, he was hangover at home, and Gao Chen called. He heard Gu Qi's name in a daze, and his mind cleared up. He finished washing and drove to the company within 10 minutes.

Gu Qi came back a day later than expected, which was very unlike his style. Yu Baichu had an intuition that something happened to Gu Qi in Beijing.It was almost time to get off work when we arrived at the company, and Gu Qigang was making coffee in the tea room after the meeting with the project team.

Gao Chen told him on the phone that Gu Qi came directly to the company from the airport, and Yu Baichu couldn't help but scold him when he saw the blue color in his eyes: "Why do you still drink coffee? You should go home and rest after getting off the plane." What does the company do?"

Gu Qi was surprised at first, then he said while holding the coffee: "When did you come, Mr. Yu?"

"Don't change the subject."

Gu Qi took a sip of coffee. "No way, work hard."

Yu Baichu was a little angry and just about to speak, someone came in from the tea room, it was Gu Qi's subordinate named Liang Yi.Liang Yi warmly greeted Yu Baichu, and Yu Baichu hurriedly responded.

Liang Yi poured a glass of water, saw Yu Baichu was still standing alone, showing his standard eight teeth and smiled, "Mr. Yu, do you want juice or coffee? Let me make it for you?" , Several layers of foundation came off my face. Fortunately, I put on lipstick 5 minutes ago, and it was the Chanel velvet series I just bought.

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty." Yu Baichu turned to Gu Qi: "After drinking, go straight to get off work and have dinner together."

"it is good."

It's really worthy of being a big backer.Liang Yi thought so.

Yu Baichu was afraid that Gu Qi would be tired from driving and let him sit in his car directly.On the way to the restaurant, Gu Qi took a nap. Seeing this, Yu Baichu turned up the temperature inside the car, took a bottle of mineral water by his lap, and brushed his fingers across his thigh, Yu Baichu was startled.

Gu Qi woke up when the car drove through the speed bump in the parking lot. The temperature inside the car was so high that he drank the mineral water next to his legs with dry mouth.

"Is it better?"

"much better."

Yu Baichu was satisfied.

During the dinner, the topic of the two of them revolved around work as usual, even so, there were still some smiles on Yu Baichu's face from time to time.Halfway through the meal, a family of three came to the next table. The young father took good care of his daughter. The mother talked to the father and daughter while looking at the menu. Holding his daughter, water splashed on his forearm.

This way of getting along made Yu Baichu think of Zhan Xingshan's family, and turned to look at Gu Qi, who was eating soup with a spoon.Yu Baichu suddenly remembered that Gu Qi was also in his late thirties, and both his appearance and his job were considered top-notch. Has he considered getting married?

After all, he had just proposed to a girl not long ago, although he was rejected.

"Gu Qi, have you been working for six or seven years? Do you plan to get married when?"

Gu Qi stopped drinking the soup for a moment.

They seldom talked about personal issues, not only because Gu Qi was aggressive, but also because he always exuded a cold aura of enclosure, as if warning others not to step into his private territory.

It became a tacit agreement between them to only talk about official business and not personal matters.In the beginning, Yu Baichu did a good job.

"Isn't President Yu not married?"

The expected counterattack.

"I have no plans to get married in the near future. If I do, I will go abroad to get married."

Many wealthy people like to rent a castle abroad, charter a plane and hold a so-called "fairy tale wedding" with their families, and then invite the most famous local pastor to officiate, regardless of whether the couple is a Christian or not.

Gu Qi faintly smiled.But it's not surprising that Yu Baichu has such romantic thoughts.

"Yu Zong, in this era of life, marriage is not a necessity, but a career is. I am a person who wants to survive, so I dare not expect marriage."

Gu Qi felt that the two big men had no personal relationship and were just business partners talking about marriage. It was very likely that one of them wanted to introduce someone to the other.This kind of thing disgusted him.

Yu Baichu has mixed flavors.He found that every time he was looking forward to Gu Qi's answer to a certain question, Gu Qi's answer always made him neither happy nor angry.And among his answers, the one he least liked to hear was the perfunctory one.
