Chapter 43
After casually packing a few clothes, Gu Chen got into Li Jiashu's car.
Li Jiashu was sitting in the passenger seat and looked back at Gu Chen who was sitting in the back seat. He saw that Gu Chen was still wearing a loose and comfortable casual outfit. However, his calm and indifferent aura made Li Jiashu feel like he was his sister-in-law's secretary.
No, the secretary to the board of directors is already a senior executive, too elite, and I can only be considered a stupid assistant.
He asked, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the company now? Sister-in-law, have you eaten?" It was already dark now.
Gu Chen said calmly: "Go to your house."
Li Jiashu hesitated and said, "Ah? Sister-in-law, aren't we going to work overtime now?"
Gu Chen said: "Yes, but I will go to your house to work overtime, and then I can go to sleep after I finish my work."
Li Jiashu continued: "Ah? Are we still going to sleep tonight?"
Gu Chen said: "Yes, try to go to bed before 10:30."
Li Jiashu glanced at his watch: "..." It's already past 7 o'clock, and the drive will take another hour, which means that today's effective overtime time is only two hours...
Gu Chen added, "In order to avoid wasting time, I suggest you ask your assistant to deliver the information in advance."
Li Jiashu quickly took out his cell phone and said, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away." As soon as Gu Chen gave him the order, he really felt like he was the president's assistant, and he was so clumsy that he needed his boss to remind him. It was time to get into work mode! He had to serve President Gu well!
After Li Jiashu finished the call, Gu Chen said, "Jiashu, let me make it clear first. I will only help you for three days, and don't reveal my identity to the outside world."
Li Jiashu nodded and assured: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand everything!"
Up to now, my sister-in-law has helped with several things, even solving academic problems. Li Jiashu doesn't really think that Gu Chen has some super-realistic "magic". "Magic" is just a joke. He really thinks that Gu Chen has a lot of real things hidden in him, and there are many unknown stories.
However, his sister-in-law has always been unwilling to mention it, so he just pretended to be stupid. Since his sister-in-law doesn't want to reveal it, he naturally has to cooperate with her.
An hour later, they arrived at the place where Li Jiashu usually worked and lived. Li Jiashu maintained his assistant's consciousness and hurried forward to help carry the luggage, saying, "Boss Gu, follow me."
“……”Gu Chen glanced at him, didn’t say much, and followed him upstairs.
Entering Li Jiashu's apartment, the long table in the dining room was filled with piles of documents.
However, Gu Chen did not rush to sit at the dining table to read the information. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and waited for Li Jiashu to put his luggage in the guest room. He said to Li Jiashu, "Jiashu, tell me the basic situation first."
Li Jiashu now truly felt the feeling of reporting work to his superiors. He sat down on the sofa at the side, feeling a little awkward, and said, "Oh, sister-in-law..."
After taking a look at Gu Chen's eyes, Li Jiashu immediately changed his words: "Boss Gu, this is probably the case..." The more Li Jiashu spoke, the more he felt that his reporting skills were terrible...
After listening to Li Jiashu's narration, Gu Chen did not criticize him. He just said "hmm" and raised his hand and said, "Bring the basic information of these companies here."
So Li Jiashu brought over more than 20 information boxes, which were piled up almost higher than a person. He said with emotion: "Sister-in-law, let alone two hours, you can only finish reading these basic materials in a whole day. There are more detailed ones over there."
Gu Chen casually opened a file box and said, "It's not necessary."
He only read a basic introduction to each book and turned a few pages to move on to the next one. In less than half an hour, he had "finished reading" all twenty or so boxes.
Then he asked, "Where is the relevant information about you being reported?"
Li Jiashu brought another pile half a person's height and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that as long as we are reported, our company will have to prepare a lot of rectification materials..."
Gu Chen said: "Just look at your rectification report."
In addition to the relevant supporting materials and attachments, each rectification report was only a few pages long. Gu Chen finished reading "all" of them in less than half an hour.
Although it seemed that Gu Chen was just flipping through the pages casually, it did not stop Li Jiashu from thinking it was magical. He asked, "Sister-in-law, did you see anything?" It was already half past nine.
Gu Chen put the information in his hand back and said calmly: "It can be seen that your company's standards are indeed one of the highest in the city."
Li Jiashu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, of course it is the highest. It wouldn't be unreasonable for me to win the bid."
"So," Gu Chen said, "make the corrections, submit the correction report tomorrow, and be sincere."
"By the way, I would like to propose to your client that you conduct a special environmental protection law enforcement campaign in H City to promote the upgrading of H City's garbage disposal standards and make yourself a role model."
Gu Chen expressed so much meaning in one sentence. Li Jiashu took several seconds to digest it and asked, "Sister-in-law, will the government listen to me? And if they make our company a model, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"
Gu Chen had already stood up, holding his bone china cup, and said, "With so many reports, do you think your client doesn't need to write a statement or report to the higher-ups? It's very likely that your client is also working overtime with you."
"You have to find something for them to do."
Li Jiashu seemed to have some understanding. He was a franchise enterprise selected by the government. These enterprises kept reporting on him. Wasn't this also a slap in the face of the government?
As for making himself a role model, he is now being reported to death. Anyway, with so many people watching, why should he be afraid of being made a role model? He didn't have any big problems in the first place. As for whether other companies with different levels can reach the "high standard" of being a role model, that is not certain.
Li Jiashu came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Ah, sister-in-law, you are really..."
Gu Chen walked into the guest room with a cup in his hand and said, "Okay, I should go to bed..."
Li Jiashu's mouth was only half lifted, but immediately he felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He found work for other companies, and then what! And then what! The solution can't be only half!
Li Jiashu said: "Sister-in-law, next..."
Gu Chen said: "Let's see tomorrow. It's almost 10 o'clock when we get off work, which is far beyond the 996 standard. Good night, Jiashu." After saying that, he closed the door of the room.
Li Jiashu: "..." Help, sister-in-law! How come you've only been on the job for over an hour and you're already tidying up the workplace!
But Li Jiashu still sat down and continued to read the information. He was the boss and he worked for himself. He could work a little longer. Come on!
The next morning, Li Jiashu made an appointment with Party A's representative and went straight to the meeting room with the rectification report.
After reporting on the existing problems, Li Jiashu took Chen's words into consideration and made some suggestions. Unexpectedly, they were actually adopted seriously!
They even admired Li Jiashu's initiative and his fearlessness of social scrutiny. After all, the fact that Huanyu Environmental Protection was reported was also a question of their credibility.
On the other hand, their choice of Huanyu Environmental Protection also shows their determination to promote environmental protection and unify high standards across the region. These companies are working against them, which makes them look bad. There are many such reports, and they have to report to the higher authorities and write a statement of the situation. Now it is time to let these companies quiet down for a while.
When the special law enforcement action came, the companies were busy with self-inspection and covering up problems. The inspection team even asked them to meet the standards of the world's environmental protection. How could they do that in such a short time? In the end, they had no time to fight against Li Jiashu.
Li Jiashu instantly felt that his workload was greatly reduced. Is this the first step of his sister-in-law's magic - [Finding Allies]?
…
The next day, Gu Chen continued to exercise as usual, ate breakfast leisurely, and then continued to look through other materials leisurely.
Li Jiashu was still anxious and angry: "What then, sister-in-law? In fact, several large companies can withstand the test. They are still negotiating with me..."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Is there such a good thing?"
He pointed his finger at the business area distribution map of various companies in H City and said, "Go meet Tonghai, Ecolab, Zhengming, GH, and Fengda separately. Don't hide your whereabouts. Go and meet them openly. The negotiation time with each company cannot be less than one hour, but you cannot agree to any of their conditions."
Li Jiashu is already familiar with the business scope, main business and specific scale of these companies. These five companies are among the strongest companies in this field in H City, but there is a characteristic. Li Jiashu looked at the map and saw that Tonghai, Ecolab and Zhengming were in competition in District A, the largest area in H City, while GH and Fengda were confronting each other in the High-tech Zone.
Because they are all large companies that are more in line with the new standards, if nothing unexpected happens, two of them will be integrated and acquired by Huanyu. If you provoke a conflict between them, it will be difficult to prevent them from fighting first.
It turns out that this is the second step of my sister-in-law's magic - [Divide the opponent]!
Li Jiashu had five meetings outside today. He was completely fascinated. He felt like his mouth was dry from playing Tai Chi with these people. However, the later the companies he met, the better their attitudes became. They were all afraid that their opponents would succeed in the negotiations, right?
After returning to the apartment, Gu Chen finally did not finish reading the materials, but asked: "How is your plan going?"
Li Jiashu said: "In fact, we have made many versions, all of which were made according to the initial market evaluation price, but the main problem is that no company will recognize it."
Gu Chen roughly flipped through it and found the framework. He said, "Okay, just take this one. It's OK as long as your client thinks you are doing a good job. But now the spirit must be determined. The companies to be integrated and acquired will be selected by Huanyu on a merit basis, and the companies to be withdrawn and compensated will be evaluated by a third-party evaluation company."
"As for the companies that are gradually falling behind and have not yet upgraded their industries..." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and circled more than ten companies on the map. "Just give them two years. When H City implements the new standards, let the market choose how many companies will be eliminated. Even if they come to you, you don't have to pay any attention to them. After all, they are the ones who should be anxious now."
When Li Jiashu saw that half of it was crossed out, he instantly felt so stupid. It turned out that he didn't need to listen to what the at least ten "aunties" said at the "vegetable market" last time.
Gu Chen put down his pen, sat back, picked up his tea, and said, "Okay, tomorrow you go to inspect the asset appraisal companies in H City. I guess everyone is wondering which company will do the asset appraisal for them in the end. It's time for them to pay attention to this issue."
Today, Li Jiashu immediately understood that this was the third step of his sister-in-law's magic - [Diverting Conflicts]!
Gu Chen said, "It should be time to call it a day. I guess I don't have to work overtime tomorrow, right?"
Li Jiashu looked at his sister-in-law who could remain calm even in this situation, and secretly sighed that she was awesome. He cried, "But I still have to work overtime, sister-in-law!"
Gu Chen said: "Well, then you should do your best."
Li Jiashu said, "The second round of negotiations will be held the day after tomorrow. Sister-in-law, you can actually look at the information tomorrow. Let's make full preparations and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor at the venue the day after tomorrow."
Gu Chen still said calmly: "Well, okay."
In the blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow. Early in the morning, Li Jiashu was already dressed in a suit and tie. Seeing that Gu Chen was still wearing silk home clothes, Li Jiashu said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you change your clothes? Put on your suit quickly, you will look very impressive."
Gu Chen said: "You are the boss, I am your assistant, there should be no requirement to wear formal clothes."
Li Jiashu felt that there was something wrong with his perception. His sister-in-law had such temperament and aura, and she was his assistant? Even if he wore casual clothes, he would be seen as an insurance salesman if he stood next to her in a suit.
Li Jiashu immediately said: "No, no! Sister-in-law, you are the main person today, I am just your assistant!"
He quickly called his assistant over and said, "Go buy a set according to Mr. Gu's size."
Gu Chen said: "I have a mysophobia, if you haven't washed it, forget it..."
Li Jiashu frowned. It was actually still early to go to the venue, but there was no time to buy a set of clothes, wash, dry and iron them.
Li Jiashu said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you wear mine first? I have plenty of clothes. Although the size may be a little small, you can still make do with it."
Gu Chen said, "Jiashu, I don't wear clothes that have been worn by others."
Li Jiashu was distressed. It was indeed a bit strange to let his sister-in-law wear his own clothes. It was not in line with her fairy-like temperament. Moreover, she was going to the negotiation venue to dominate the crowd. Wearing an inappropriate suit would be too uncool! It was also his fault for not preparing the haute couture in advance.
He pondered over it and suddenly remembered: "Oh, right! Sister-in-law, wait for me!"
"Wait a minute..." Gu Chen was about to call him.
"I'll go look for it!" Li Jiashu immediately went into the room and quickly found a suit. The suit was well preserved, cleaned and hung neatly.
Gu Chen said, "Jiashu, I really don't want to wear it..." Looking at the high-end custom-made suit in front of him with obvious Li Tingqin's personal style, Gu Chen paused. President Li's?
"Ah? This is my brother's clothes?" Li Jiashu was a little confused and said, "Sister-in-law, you are already sleeping in the same bed with my brother, do you still mind this?"
Gu Chen thought to himself, "Your brother and I have never slept together," but he didn't want to explain too much to this kid.
He sighed and said, "Forget it, there's no time, just change and go." After all, it would be too pretentious to sleep in Mr. Li's bed every day and refuse to even wear a piece of clothing.
Li Jiashu: “……?” What made you, sister-in-law, change so quickly?
When Gu Chen changed into Li Tingqin's suit, Li Jiashu felt like his breathing stopped for a moment. His sister-in-law had a strong aura to begin with, and with his PTSD brother's clothes, it was like a double buff. He looked like a big shot in the business world just standing there.
Gu Chen looked in the mirror and felt that he still looked too much like himself, so he asked, "Any accessories?"
Li Jiashu took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the cloakroom and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't worn this pair before, they are plain glasses." He had imagined himself as a business tycoon and an industry elite when he started working, and he bought a lot of similar outfits. But after trying on one pair, he found that he was a fool, and the rest were all covered in dust. Forget it, a garbage collector CEO is not suitable for such things.
Seeing Gu Chen wearing glasses, Li Jiashu was immediately amazed - yes, yes, yes! This is the feeling he wants! What kind of top-notch gentleman is this!
Li Jiashu gave her a watch and cufflinks and said, "My brother stayed at my place for two days before, and these are what he left behind."
Gu Chen finally finished a whole set of clothes. Li Jiashu took a deep breath. It tasted right! This is the feeling of going out to kill everyone!
…
Li Jiashu chose his most luxurious car and sat in the passenger seat. When he arrived at the parking lot downstairs, he got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Chen, saying, "Mr. Gu, please."
He was carrying documents and his assistant was carrying a computer bag, following Gu Chen one on the left and one on the right.
Along the way, they met other company bosses who came one after another. When they saw Gu Chen and his party, they frowned and whispered, "Is this the new negotiation expert hired by Huanyu? Does it look like that?"
"So, all the big moves made by Huanyu in the past three days were done by this person?"
Because the original owner was thrown into boarding school when he was young, he had never appeared in any of the Gu family's or Qi family's banquets or external activities, so no one in the circle knew him at all. Now they only regarded him as a strange face with a strong aura, and thought he was an elite that Li Jiashu had poached from somewhere.
As soon as Gu Chen and his party walked into the venue and sat down at the Huanyu seat, the venue suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at Gu Chen with different expressions.
Li Jiashu: "......?" Where's the vegetable market? Where's the vegetable market? You weren't like this last time. Why are you silent when your sister-in-law comes?
