Daily Hell Mode
After a few days, the smell of disinfectant in the ward was finally left behind.
Although Gu Lin's face was still pale, his compelling aura had returned.
He was wearing a perfectly tailored dark gray suit and his back was straight.
Walking steadily through the VIP channel of Changi Airport.
Lin Yu'an followed behind, carrying a briefcase and a small amount of luggage, keeping half a step away.
He had his usual gentle smile on his face, but he was secretly calculating in his mind.
After returning to China, there was a mountain of work and the little monkey Doupi at home.
The plane landed smoothly in a familiar city.
Without much greeting, Gu Lin's driver had been waiting for a long time.
The car first took Gu Lin back to his top-floor apartment in the city center.
The car window rolled down, and Gu Lin simply said, "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, office."
Lin Yu'an nodded immediately: "I understand, Mr. Gu. You should have a good rest."
The car door closed and the black luxury car slid silently into the traffic.
Lin Yu'an then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, jumped on the subway, and ran home impatiently.
When he pushed open the door of Aunt Zhang's house next door, a small figure like a cannonball immediately rushed over with cheers and crashed into Lin Yu'an's arms.
"Uncle!" Doupi tilted his little face up, his eyes shining like stars, and his short little arms tightly hugged Lin Yu'an's neck.
"Doupi misses his uncle so much! Grandma Zhang said his uncle went to fight monsters!"
Lin Yu'an's heart softened, and all the fatigue from the past few days was washed away by this little guy.
He picked up Doupi and spun him around. "Yeah, uncle chased the monster away! Now I'm back to play with Doupi! Tomorrow I'll take you to the amusement park, where we can ride on a giant airplane and eat cotton candy, okay?"
"Great!" Doupi's cheers almost blew the roof off.
Looking at the child's innocent smile, Lin Yu'an felt that it was not a bad thing for his sister to keep the tofu skin. It was like an antidote to life.
The weekend sun is warm.
The playground was filled with children's screams and laughter.
Doupi was wearing the little dinosaur hoodie that Lin Yu'an had just bought for him. He was holding Lin Yu'an's fingers tightly with one hand and holding a pink marshmallow with the other hand. His little face was flushed with excitement.
"Uncle! Ferris wheel! Doupi wants to ride that!"
Doupi pointed at the huge roulette wheel that was slowly turning in the distance.
"Okay, let's ride the Ferris wheel!"
Lin Yu'an agreed with a smile and took him to line up.
I watched Doupi lying in front of the glass window, staring at the shrinking city beneath his feet with wide eyes.
Lin Yu'an's heart was filled with satisfaction as he kept exclaiming "Wow—it's so high!"
Carousel, train, bumper car... Doupi had a lot of fun, and Lin Yu'an ran around like a big kid, taking photos and videos.
Doupi was tired from playing and fell asleep in his arms.
Lin Yu'an held him in his arms and sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, feeling a sense of simple happiness.
Payday is always a joy.
Especially when Lin Yu'an saw the deposit information popping up on the mobile banking app, the length of the string of numbers made him stunned for five seconds.
With two consecutive months of intensive project follow-up, subsidies for cross-border business trips, and Gu Lin's style of not mistreating his capable subordinates, this salary can be said to be generous.
Not to mention, the huge amount of rewards that the mysterious God L gave to him in the background of his live broadcast was enough to blind anyone.
After deducting the platform share, it was still a huge sum of money that made his heart pound.
A few days later, a brand new, silver-gray Audi with smooth lines stopped downstairs of the residential complex where Lin Yuan lived.
It’s not a top luxury car, but it has spacious space, good safety performance, and is suitable for bringing children.
Lin Yu'an touched the cold hood, feeling the solidity of the key in his hand, and his mouth stretched from ear to ear.
Get it in full, no pressure!
From now on, I don’t have to squeeze into the subway when picking up Doupi from kindergarten or going on weekend trips.
However, the sugar coating of life was soon shattered by the iron fist of the workplace.
Returning to the towering Gu Group headquarters building and stepping into the president's office on the 28th floor, Lin Yu'an was immediately brought back to reality.
Gu Lin's health has recovered, but the "difficulty" index at work has rebounded with a retaliatory rebound following this illness, directly breaking through the historical peak.
"Lin Yu'an."
Gu Lin's voice came through the intercom, cold, "Come in."
Lin Yu'an took a deep breath, picked up his notebook and pen, and pushed the door open.
In the office, Gu Lin sat behind a large desk with a stern expression.
He didn't look up, his fingertips pointing at a document spread out on the table.
"Please explain why the fluctuation range of the Southeast Asian market share forecast model for the third quarter is ±1.5% instead of ±1.2%?"
Gu Lin finally raised his eyes, like two ice-hardened scalpels, and stabbed Lin Yu'an accurately.
"Data support? Risk factor weighting basis? I want to see the calculation draft and the logical chain of adjustment for each variable. Now."
Lin Yu'an's scalp felt numb.
This report was a rough draft that the marketing department worked through several nights in, and he simply summarized and compiled it before submitting it.
±1.5% is the reasonable range given by the marketing department based on historical data and the current environment...
But obviously, for Gu Lin, "reasonable" is far from enough.
"Mr. Gu, this is the preliminary model provided by the marketing department. They have the draft and detailed variable analysis. I will contact them immediately to retrieve it and review it."
Lin Yu'an answered quickly, and his brain CPU began to overclock.
"Preliminary?" Gu Lin's tone rose slightly, with a hint of danger.
"No reports delivered to my desk are allowed to be 'preliminary'. Within three hours, I want to see a complete model analysis based on the original data, independently verified by you, with fluctuation ranges accurate to two decimal places. The causes of the fluctuations, ranked by likelihood, are the top three. Get out."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Lin Yu'an broke out in a cold sweat and quickly left with the documents in hand.
Three hours!
He rushed back to his workstation and called the marketing director directly, his tone gentle but unquestionable.
"Director Li, please immediately send me all the raw data, variable setting documents, and calculation manuscripts for the Sky Dome Southeast Asian market forecast model. Mr. Gu needs it urgently."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately began looking for relevant industry reports, competitor dynamics and exchange rate trend analysis.
For the next three hours, Lin Yu'an's workstation became the center of a small storm.
The keyboard tapping sounds were as dense as raindrops, and various charts and data on the screen switched rapidly.
The draft paper was filled with calculation formulas and key points.
He is like a high-speed precision instrument, screening, checking, verifying, remodeling and analyzing the causes of fluctuations.
The data package sent by the marketing department was huge and messy. He needed to extract the core from it and find the "needle" that Gu Lin requested.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally there were fifteen minutes left before the deadline.
A report with clear structure, detailed data and thorough analysis was produced.
He quickly printed and bound it, and knocked on the heavy door again.
Gu Lin took the report and scanned it quickly with his eyes like a scanner.
The only sound in the office was the rustling of papers, and the air was so thick that one could almost hear a sound of banging.
Lin Yu'an stood with his hands hanging down, feeling that every second seemed as long as a century.
"Ranking of the top 3 risk factors and their reasons."
Gu Lin didn't even raise his head.
Lin Yu'an responded immediately and fluently: "First, the risk of regional policy changes, weighted at 35%, is based on the draft import regulations newly issued by Country X last month and the assessment report of our legal advisors;
Second, the risk of core raw material price fluctuations, with a weight of 30%, is based on the trends of the international futures market over the past three months and production capacity warnings from three major suppliers;
Third, the risk of a new product launch window being prematurely released by leading competitor Company A, weighted at 25%, based on leaked information from the competitor's supply chain and our business intelligence analysis..."
After listening to this, Gu Lin was silent for a few seconds, and finally signed his name on the report in a flamboyant manner.
“Next time, do it in advance.”
Just these five short words instantly relaxed Lin Yu'an's tense nerves.
However, this was just the appetizer for Hell Week.
"Lin Yu'an, here's the PPT for the new project launch meeting." Gu Lin threw a thick stack of materials on Lin Yu'an's desk.
“The focus should be on highlighting technical barriers and commercialization paths, and the visual communication should be concise and powerful.
The color scheme is deep space blue and astral gold. The only font allowed is LVETICA Neue, bold 48 for titles, 32 for body text, and 1.5 times the line spacing.
All graphics must be vector graphics, and animation effects are limited to smooth cut-in and fade-out. First draft due tomorrow at 3:00 PM."
Lin Yu'an looked at the pile of information, then looked at Gu Lin's unquestionable eyes, and swallowed silently.
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
That night, the lights in Lin Yu'an's office were on until two in the morning.
He stared at the computer screen with sore eyes.
Repeatedly adjust the layout of each page and the alignment of each line of text, accurate to the pixel.
The 48 and 32 fonts of Helvetica Neue danced before his eyes.
When the animation effect of the last page is debugged.
He slumped in his chair, feeling like a zombie whose soul had been sucked dry by the PPT.
"Lin Yu'an, please provide a detailed breakdown of server rental expenses for all subsidiaries in the Asia-Pacific region over the past five years, broken down by quarter, supplier, model, and usage rate.
I need to compare cost trends horizontally and analyze resource idleness vertically. The report should be on my desk by noon tomorrow."
Gu Lin was at the elevator entrance on his way to another meeting, and he gave the order without even looking back.
Lin Yu'an's eyes went dark.
Dozens of subsidiaries in the Asia-Pacific region! Server models vary widely, and suppliers change frequently.
Expense items are scattered across countless financial systems and contracts!
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
He immediately turned into a data miner and frantically contacted the financial and IT managers of each region.
Request historical data, contract scans, and system backend permissions.
I made so many phone calls that my throat was sore and sent so many emails that my hands were tired.
At 11:50 the next morning, the 30-page summary report with detailed data was finally printed and bound and placed on Gu Lin's mirror-like desk.
Lin Yu'an felt that his brain's CPU was emitting smoke due to excessive computing, and everything he saw was double.
"Mr. Gu, your flight to New York next Wednesday is at 2:00 PM. Your meeting with K&L Law Firm regarding North American intellectual property litigation is scheduled for 10:00 AM on Thursday. The hotel has been booked. You have a consulting meeting with McKinsey on Friday morning, and in the afternoon..."
"Cancel McKinsey." Gu Lin interrupted Lin Yu'an's schedule report and tapped his fingers on the table.
“I’ll set aside Friday morning for a video conference. I want to hear the latest progress report on new electrolyte materials from the European R&D Center.
Also, my flight for next Wednesday has been rescheduled. I need to take the earliest flight and go directly to the law firm after landing, so the meeting will be moved up to 4 p.m. on Wednesday."
Lin Yuan: “…”
