The meeting started ten minutes later. After the conference host gave the opening remarks, Chu Qingfeng introduced the young man to everyone.
"This is Li Lin, the new guy who just joined the company. He just returned from studying abroad. He's my assistant. Please take good care of him."
Li Lin was also very polite and immediately stood up to greet everyone.
Chu Yuze thought he was an important person, but it turned out to be just an assistant, so he didn't take it seriously.
365: [The protagonist's luck has dissipated by 50%.]
Zhou Boyan was in a very good mood when he heard the report from 365.
Li Lin is not an ordinary assistant. He is Chu Qingfeng's illegitimate son, and this illegitimate son is only one year younger than Chu Yuze.
If the land that Chu Yuze bought was put to use, Chu Yuze would definitely have nothing to do with it, but that would mean that Chu Yuze's land would be useless.
Chu Qingfeng's parents originally arranged for Chu Qingfeng and Qi Lan to marry for the sake of the company.
When they first got married, they treated each other with respect, but Qi Lan's personality was too strong and her desire for control was too strong, and over time Chu Qingfeng couldn't stand it anymore.
By chance, Chu Qingfeng met Li Lin's mother Li Zhen.
At that time, Li Zhen was a junior in college. Her parents had been in a car accident. Her father died and needed funeral expenses, and her mother was in the hospital.
Chu Qingfeng fell in love with Li Zhen at first sight. Li Zhen was young, obedient, gentle and well-behaved. After learning about Li Zhen's family affairs, he gave Li Zhen money. His only request was that Li Zhen be with him, and he had the final say on how long to be with him.
Li Zhen had no choice at the time. She had no money and no one to help her, so she had to agree.
After following Chu Qingfeng for half a year, Li Zhen's mother passed away and Li Zhen found out that she was pregnant.
Chu Qingfeng was so happy when he learned that Li Zhen was pregnant that he immediately gave Li Zhen an apartment.
Over the years, except for not being able to give Li Zhen a formal status, Chu Qingfeng was almost obedient to her.
But apart from sending her son to study abroad, Li Zhen never asked for anything else.
Li Zhen and her son did not cause any trouble, and Li Lin worked hard, and he managed to get into a famous foreign university on his own. Chu Qingfeng just paid the tuition.
Therefore, for so many years, Chu Qingfeng had only Li Zhen by his side, and Qi Lan didn't know that Chu Qingfeng also had a concubine.
The reason why Zhou Boyan sought cooperation with Li Lin was that, apart from his illegitimate status, Li Lin was a person of good character, capable and patient, making him a good partner. Chu Qingfeng also preferred Li Lin.
This time, Chu Yuze caused the company to suffer heavy losses because of that piece of land. Usually, Chu Yuze was not very competitive, so he couldn't say anything. If he said a few words, Qi Lan would scold Chu Yuze. In front of Chu Yuze and his mother, he had no say and could even be said to be a bit cowardly.
In contrast, Li Lin graduated with a doctorate at a young age and planned to start his own business after returning to China.
Li Zhen and her son are much better than Qi Lan and her son.
Chu Qingfeng felt that based on Chu Yuze's ability, the company would be ruined soon after he took over.
Now he has no say in front of Chu Yuze and his mother. After he gives the company to Chu Yuze, he will be even less able to hold his head up in front of them.
But if Li Lin took over the company, according to the attitude of Li Lin and his mother towards him, he would be able to enjoy his retirement.
Fortunately, he was in charge of the company now, so Chu Qingfeng thought about bringing Li Lin, who had just returned from abroad, into the company.
However, Zhou Boyan knew that although Li Zhen was weak and did not fight, Li Lin did not want to fight for anything.
Li Lin knew that he was an illegitimate child, and he always wanted to prove that he was no worse than Chu Yuze.
He was hesitating between joining Chu Qingfeng's company and starting his own company, so Zhou Boyan contacted him privately.
Li Lin's idea of starting his own company is certainly a good one, but what would Chu Qingfeng think if he knew about it? He would definitely support it at the beginning, but once Li Lin's company becomes bigger, Chu Qingfeng's opinion on it may change.
Rather than taking the risk of starting his own company to prove his ability, it is better to take the company from Chu Yuze. Besides, Chu Qingfeng is also willing to hand over the company to Li Lin, and Zhou Boyan said that he will support him.
Besides, even if Qi Lan doesn't discover the existence of them now, she may not discover it in the future. If the company develops slowly and Qi Lan makes things difficult, the situation of them will be worrying.
After asking Zhou Boyan a few questions, Li Lin was completely convinced, so he agreed to Chu Qingfeng's proposal and joined Chu Qingfeng's company.
To the outside world, Li Lin is Chu Qingfeng's assistant, but in fact, Chu Qingfeng is training Li Lin as his successor.
Chu Yuze didn't know that he would face a strong opponent, and only regarded Li Lin as an ordinary assistant.
Because of Qi Lan's help, Chu Qingfeng didn't dare to say more about the losses Chu Yuze had caused to the company. After all, Qi Lan held a considerable number of shares in the company.
After get off work, Chu Yuze happily made an appointment with his lover to go out and have fun.
As for Cheng Yishu, he used the excuse of working overtime to get away with it.
Zhou Boyan’s birthday is September 20th. Three nights before Zhou Boyan’s birthday, Feng Shuangyun called Zhou Boyan again to discuss the matter.
The people who had dinner were their family, some close friends of the couple, and a friend of Zhou Boyan, about fifteen people in total. They cooked a large table of dishes in the villa and ordered a castle-sized cake.
Zhou Boyan felt that there was no need to order a too big cake. The castle-sized cake that Feng Shuangyun mentioned might not be finished by a hundred people.
When Zhou Boyan and Feng Shuangyun were talking on the phone, Shen Yi had just come out of the shower. When he heard Zhou Boyan say the word "birthday cake", he immediately trotted over and sat down next to Zhou Boyan. Zhou Boyan put his arm around Shen Yi's waist and held him in his arms.
Shen Yi didn't struggle, his face flushed, he took a light breath and listened to Zhou Boyan's call.
"Yeah, that's right. A cake that's too big is a waste of money. Just make a double layer so it doesn't look stingy. I want red bean filling. Yibao likes it."
After Zhou Boyan hung up the phone, Shen Yi asked curiously, "Whose birthday is it? And the birthday cake is made according to my preferences?"
Zhou Boyan said, "It's my birthday."
Shen Yi didn't remember Zhou Boyan's birthday at all. In the past, he never took him to his father's business partners' birthdays. When they got the marriage certificate, he and Zhou Boyan had no feelings for each other and didn't pay attention to Zhou Boyan's birthday.
In previous years, he could ignore Zhou Boyan’s birthday, but this year is different. Their relationship has warmed up, and he should prepare a birthday gift for Zhou Boyan.
"I want to buy you a gift, what would you like?"
Zhou Boyan said bluntly: "You."
Shen Yi didn’t understand, he thought Zhou Boyan was joking: “I asked seriously.”
"I'm serious too." Zhou Boyan never hid his true thoughts in front of Shen Yi: "You wear my white shirt, tie a pink bow around your neck, and then I can do whatever I want."
Shen Yi's face was so hot that it blushed all the way to the base of his neck.
Although he was shy, he could not deny that Zhou Boyan's idea made him very excited, and he actually had such thoughts in his heart.
After much thought, Shen Yi decided to go out and buy a gift for Zhou Boyan the next day.
