Chapter 605: Don’t bring your emotions from life to work
Deep City
After walking out of the terminal, the driver of Penguin Technology came forward to greet Liang Fei: "Mr. Liang, this is the car you asked to reserve. The key is in the car."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Liang Fei nodded. Before boarding the plane in the capital, he asked Tang Ruijie to contact the administrative department and ask them to send an extra car for his private use.
After getting in the car, Liang Fei said to Tang Ruijie, "Go back and rest today. Go to work on time tomorrow. You'll be busy starting now."
"Okay, Mr. Liang."
Tang Ruijie bent over and waved goodbye to Liang Fei, and asked, " Boss Liang, what are you doing alone?"
"Go find Li Jiang. She's in Yangcheng now."
"Lee-chan?"
Tang Ruijie was puzzled: "Then why not fly directly to Guangzhou?"
"You don't know anything." Liang Fei fastened her seat belt and started the car. "Shenzhen is more than a hundred kilometers away from Guangzhou. It's not too far, but it's not too close. If I drive there alone, it will seem very sincere, and I will be exhausted from the journey. Li Jiang is soft-hearted and will feel distressed when she sees me."
Tang Ruijie opened her mouth, not knowing whether to admire Liang Fei or something else.
Watching Liang Fei's car leave, Tang Ruijie crossed her arms and shook her head slightly: "It's obviously her own fault, but from a personal perspective, I always feel that Liang Fei has had a hard time."
Shrugging her shoulders, Tang Ruijie got into the business car carrying her luggage.
It was already evening when Liang Fei arrived in Yangcheng. He came to Ding Dehong's residence without stopping. This was the house arranged for him by the agency. Because many leaders from other places were assigned to work here, outside vehicles were not allowed to enter without permission.
Liang Fei had just parked the car at the gate of the community and was about to call Li Xingruo when the security guard at the booth came out and said, "Hello, you can't park here. Please leave."
Liang Fei rolled down the car window and said to the security guard, "Hello, I'm here to look for someone. I'm on the phone right now and will be right there."
As he spoke, Liang Fei took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage box and handed it over with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, thank you." The security guard waved his hand and refused. "Then you call, I will let you in as soon as I get the notification."
The security guards here are all young men, young and strong, different from those in ordinary communities. I guess they are disciplined. If they were security guards in ordinary communities, they would happily accept such good cigarettes and let the people in, but that doesn't work here.
Seeing that the security guard refused to accept the call, Liang Fei did not force it and waited quietly for Li Jiang to answer the call.
Beep, beep, beep…
"Hello?" Li Xingruo's soft voice sounded in Liang Fei's ears.
"I'm at the gate of the community." Liang Fei said, "Can we meet?"
"Oh well."
Li Xingruo was very straightforward and agreed readily. After hanging up the phone, he quickly trotted to the gate of the community.
The security guard took a look and was surprised. Isn't this the daughter of Secretary Ding who came to visit relatives recently? She became famous in the community on her first day. It was said that many people who lived in the same courtyard with unmarried sons went to her to get their information.
Looking at Liang Fei again, the security guard understood that this young man seemed to be the boyfriend of Secretary Ding's daughter.
"Hello."
Li Xingruo panted slightly, ran over and nodded politely to the security guard, saying, "He is visiting my home, Building 6, let me register him."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." The security guard had taken the vehicle registration book and wrote down Liang Fei's license plate number, then let him pass.
Li Xingruo got into the car and gave Liang Fei directions without saying another word.
Liang Fei drove the car slowly in the community and asked, "Are Uncle Ding and Teacher Pei at home?"
“No.”
Li Xingruo shook her head and said, "They went out for a social event and will be back later. I'm home alone."
Liang Fei glanced at Li Xingruo and asked, "Why didn't you go with us?"
"I... I have social anxiety." Li Xingruo held her fingers together, as if she was reluctant to look Liang Fei in the eye, and whispered while looking out the window, "Some elders who have a good would ask me if I have a boyfriend and introduce me to one. I was afraid and didn't dare to go out and see people."
"Oh..." Liang Fei responded softly.
Just as he was about to continue talking, Li Xingruo pointed to a small building not far away and said, "We're here. This is it."
After parking the car, Li Xingruo led Liang Fei into the house. The area and specifications of the house were all in accordance with relevant regulations, and the decoration was neat and tidy, which was very consistent with the image of a leading cadre.
"Let me pour you a glass of water." Li Xingruo opened the refrigerator, took out a kettle soaked in dried lemon slices, poured a glass of ice water for Liang Fei, and pushed it to him.
"Thanks."
Liang Fei picked up the water cup and took a big sip, then said with a smile: "I took a flight in the afternoon, and arrived in Shenzhen in the evening. My mouth is really dry."
Li Xingruo nodded slightly, stood up and sat next to Liang Fei, placed her hands neatly on her knees, shrugged slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and exhaled softly.
After a while, Li Jiang whispered: "Um... Nian Gao came to see me."
Liang Fei nodded: "I know, she told me."
"That……"
"We broke up."
Li Xingruo looked at Liang Fei and said, "This isn't the first time you've broken up. I feel like I'm used to it, but... she seemed very serious this time. What I meant was, she said something to me, and I thought you..."
Liang Fei interrupted Li Xingruo and asked, "You thought I would stop associating with you, right?"
Li Xingruo didn't say anything else and just nodded silently.
Liang Fei placed his palm on the back of Li Xingruo's hand, moved closer, and said in a gentle voice: "Even for the sake of Uncle Ding and Teacher Pei, I can't break off contact with you."
"Ah, ah?" Li Xingruo looked up at Liang Fei in surprise.
Liang Feirou messed up Li Xingruo's hair, looked at her clear eyes through the messy hair and said with a smile: "Just a joke to lighten the atmosphere."
Li Xingruo pursed her lips: "Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time. You're not humorous at all."
Liang Fei: “…”
Li Xingruo still lowered her head and picked at her fingers, whispering, "I didn't expect you would really break up with Nian Gao, isn't it because of me?"
Of course not only that, Liang Fei thought.
This time Liang Fei directly told Nian Gao that he wanted it all. It was not a momentary impulse, but a choice to lower Nian Gao's expectations and let her have a slow process of acceptance. The level of peaceful coexistence is currently out of reach, and Liang Fei has been preparing for the arrival of this day.
From Poetry and Poetry to the current Wuyou Media, they are all deeply tied to Lightyear Technology. A considerable part of Poetry and Poetry's sales comes from the traffic of Rose Book, and Wuyou Media can be said to have become Douyin's private reserve for cultivating internet celebrities.
As long as these two things are still there, the connection between Nian Gao and Liang Fei will never be severed.
Furthermore, there are three people at Wuyou Media: Wang Yi, Shen Ning, and Lu Huizhen. Nian Gao is a person who will never vent his anger on others, and he has an extreme sense of responsibility. Otherwise, he would not have resigned as the president of the school student union and spared no effort to help Ning Luo get rid of the entanglement of the scumbag.
This means that rice cake will not leave.
As long as she is still in Liang Fei's sight, there will be room for things to turn around.
Besides, there are the wedding photos. As long as the wedding photos are still there, doesn’t it just prove that Nian Gao has not given up? What is needed now is a gradual approach, or an absolutely perfect opportunity to make her change her mind.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ding Dehong and Pei Rou came back. Liang Fei still had her hand on Li Xingruo's shoulder. She stood up and greeted them, "Hello, Uncle Ding, Hello, Teacher Pei."
"Xiao Liang is here." Ding Dehong was a little surprised and greeted him with a smile, "When did you arrive?"
Liang Fei replied: "Just arrived."
After saying that, he smiled at Pei Rou, but Pei Rou's attitude was a little cold. After nodding slightly, he said to Li Xingruo: "Xingruo, come with me to get something from the car."
So what?
Seeing this, Li Xingruo explained carefully: "I, I mentioned the idea of resigning on the way to Shenzhen with Teacher Pei after I asked for leave..."
Pei Rou must have thought that she had bullied Li Xingruo again, otherwise how could Li Jiang, who had such a good temper, think of resigning?
Li Xingruo and Pei Rou went to the car and brought in a suitcase. Liang Fei immediately stepped forward to take it, carried it and brought it to the bedroom on the second floor. When they went downstairs, Ding Dehong had already made tea. The whole family was sitting neatly and looking at Liang Fei.
Liang Fei sat next to Li Xingruo naturally.
"Xiao Liang...how are you doing at Penguin Technology?" Ding Dehong now works in Yangcheng, responsible for macro-control. Naturally, he pays a lot of attention to the star enterprises in the province.
Liang Fei nodded and said, "It's OK. I'm integrating the resources in the entertainment sector recently and will be busy soon."
Ding Dehong nodded slightly, and all he talked about were topics related to people's livelihood. He said with emotion: "I only had a little understanding of it before. When I arrived in Yangcheng and fully understood the situation, I found that this place is different from our Minghai. There are two modern super cities, Shenzhen and Yangcheng, but there are also many cities that are relatively backward..."
The gap between the rich and the poor among cities in eastern Guangdong Province is indeed quite large. Especially with two super cities at the forefront, the cities at the bottom of the economy appear to be in a very embarrassing situation.
Liang Fei echoed, "Yes, so not only are big figures like you working hard, but our company is also paying attention to this situation. Our farm and ranch project first targeted the children in the mountainous areas of our province, and brought them a lot of warmth."
"That's good." Ding Dehong nodded with a smile.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Seeing that Liang Fei and Ding Dehong were chatting happily, Pei Rou suddenly interrupted and said, "Xiao Liang, there is something I need to inform you about. I have decided to retire early."
Liang Fei was a little surprised: "Teacher Pei, you are not old enough yet."
"It's not a big deal to have these two years. We should give the opportunity to younger cadres." Pei Rou said calmly, "On the one hand, I feel that I am gradually unable to cope with the work, and on the other hand, I also want to spend more time with my family."
After a pause, Pei Rou continued, "Xing Ruo mentioned to me before that she wanted to resign. She probably felt tired. This is not bad. After we complete the early retirement process, my mother and I will follow your Uncle Ding. Wherever he changes his position in the future, we will follow him."
She emphasized the term "mother and daughter" particularly strongly.
Ding Dehong had no idea at all, but having lived with his wife for so many years, he immediately understood, and the way he looked at Liang Fei also changed slightly.
Picking up a cigarette and lighting it, Ding Dehong asked Liang Fei with a smile: "What's the matter? Did you have a fight with our Xing Ruo?"
"No, no." Li Xingruo was the first to speak, but when he saw Pei Rou looking at him with a hint of anger, he immediately said, "We really didn't quarrel."
Pei Rou asked: "Why do you want to resign suddenly?"
"Because I want Xingruo to enjoy her youth." Liang Fei suddenly spoke up and said quietly, "Uncle and aunt, Xingruo has had a very hard time these years. Even though she met me and I helped her a lot, Xingruo is still meticulous at work and never slacks off, nor does it become much easier."
"So I think she should just quit her job, take a good rest, and go back to work when she wants to."
Pei Rou felt that it made a lot of sense, and her expression eased a lot. She smiled and said, "That's true. The company is yours anyway. Xing Ruo can go back whenever she wants."
"That's the truth." Liang Fei nodded with a smile, "So..."
"If that's the case, that's great." Pei Rou became much more enthusiastic, and even took the initiative to peel an orange for Liang Fei and handed it to him. "Xingruo is free, and I have also completed the internal recommendation, then we will both be completely free, and we can go out for a walk. To be honest, I really yearn for the scenery of Xiaoliang's hometown. Xingruo has never seen the prairie, right?"
Li Xingruo shook her head slightly.
"That's great, let's go and take a look." Pei Rou smiled, "If it's convenient, we can go see Ru Ting. We haven't seen each other since we had dinner together last time."
Liang Fei did not feel forced at all. Instead, she felt very happy and relieved that Li Xingruo, a girl who had been carrying a heavy burden for many years, finally had someone who could shelter her from the wind and rain again.
Because the work content and itinerary for tomorrow have been confirmed, Liang Fei needs to return to Shenzhen overnight. Li Xingruo and his family sent him to the door and watched Liang Fei's car slowly drive away.
"I think you may have some misunderstanding about Xiao Liang." Ding Dehong crossed his arms and said to Pei Rou, "I have done both organizational and disciplinary work. Just now you said you wanted to go to Xiao Liang's hometown to meet his parents. Xiao Liang's smile was from the heart. Believe me, I have seen all kinds of people and I can judge them accurately."
"I'll trust you for once." Pei Rou hugged Li Xingruo, lowered her head and asked with a smile, "The most important thing is that our Xingruo is happy, right?"
Li Xingruo took a deep breath and smiled brightly: "Happy!"
Deep City
Returning to Penguin Technology, Liang Fei specially started the coffee machine that she had never touched since moving in, and made a cup of strong hand-ground coffee.
Tang Ruijie grinds by hand. As the boss, Liang Fei would never do such rough work.
"Mr. Liang, why did you suddenly want to drink coffee?" Tang Ruijie asked with a bitter face while grinding coffee beans. Since she became a secretary, she has to know everything .
Liang Fei took a sip of the coffee seriously and looked at the scenery in the distance: "It's a waste to leave it there. Use it before you leave, so that the people who come later can save money."
Tsk, that’s a good plan.
On the desk, the information about Gao Pangzi collected by Tang Ruijie had long been placed. The information found by Penguin's public relations department was not only the well-known news on the Internet, but also very comprehensive.
Sometimes it's too comprehensive.
As for Fatty Gao, he comes from a real scholarly family. He was full of vigor and vitality when he was young, and he is still free and easy when he is old. He was even imprisoned for half a year for drunk driving, but after he was released, he was like nothing happened and continued to do what he was doing.
This year he reached the highlight of his life, becoming the chairman of Ali Music and then the chairman of the Ali Entertainment Strategic Committee. In other words, he is now the actual helmsman of Ali Entertainment.
Everyone knows what happened later. After a few years, he didn't accomplish anything and lost a lot of money. After resigning in disgrace, he wanted to make money on the Internet. He originally happily participated in the official media's live broadcast. Who would have thought that the first time in the history of the Internet that a live broadcast room was closed because of the excited and cursing netizens would happen so openly.
Since then, Fatty Gao has disappeared from the Internet.
According to Liang Fei's thinking, he has been busy making Ali Entertainment lose money in the past few years and has not been active on the Internet, otherwise he would have been scolded and quit the Internet long ago.
Look at his crooked butt, he treats people like fools.
"This kind of highly educated people have a common problem, that is, during our period of rapid economic development, the order is somewhat chaotic, and they have seen the outside world earlier than ordinary people, so they have an inexplicable sense of superiority. Their sense of superiority comes from their spiritual motherland, so they must flatter this beacon in order to improve their status."
"To put it bluntly, an egoist."
Liang Fei curled her lips: "There are too many such ungrateful people in the world nowadays."
Now, the two giants, Penguin Technology and Ali, have set their sights on the entertainment industry, and both want to get a piece of this fat meat, so they will definitely come to blows. Some people have already published a special report in newspapers: Gaoliang PK!
They even came up with a CP name, which Liang Fei felt was unlucky just thinking about.
After drinking coffee, Liang Fei went to a meeting. Those present were the heads of Penguin's entertainment sector, video portals, wireless music, online literature, and even the CEOs of the news sector.
Everyone was originally in a relaxed mood, but when they noticed Liang Fei walked in with a gloomy face and without saying a word, they immediately sat up straight. God knows who has offended our Crown Prince Fei, but at least they just hope they don't get scolded by him in public.
Liang Fei's position in Penguin Technology is now stable. He is no longer the lone commander as when he first came. In addition, Xiao Ma Ge and the board of directors have an undisguised preference for Liang Fei, and it is said that a certain big shot in the province also has a close relationship with Liang Fei.
Xiao Liang suddenly turned into a Celestial Dragon. Who would dare to mess with a Celestial Dragon? And everyone thought that what Liang Fei had was actually Luffy's script.
"Okay, let's have the meeting."
Liang Fei propped up his chin and asked lazily, "First, let me report on the copyright purchase of the music section..."
"Okay, Mr. Liang."
The meeting went very smoothly, and toward the end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everyone had performed well today and that President Liang should have no excuse to scold anyone.
"Wait." Liang Fei suddenly spoke, and everyone's heart tightened.
Liang Fei narrowed her eyes, pointed at the power structure of Ali Entertainment on the screen, and asked everyone: "Who do you think is more powerful, me or the newly appointed General Manager Gao of Ali?"
"Of course it's Mr. Liang!"
"Need I say this? How old is our CEO Liang? How old is he? Those online self-media outlets are really idle and have nothing to do. They actually dare to clamor that our CEO Liang has little experience and cannot beat Xiao Gao. I really laughed."
Pop.
Liang Fei threw a document on the table and said angrily, "This was collected by the public relations department. President Gao has talked about me more than once in private or semi-public occasions, saying that I am grandstanding and young and energetic. It would seem like he is bullying me if he goes against me."
"And they said I was young and didn't learn well, and I just went to the club every day!"
"How ridiculous!" Liang Fei slammed the table heavily, angrily saying, "Has he forgotten that when he was hanging out with Mr. Zhang from Sohu in the bar, he asked female students from Peking University and Tsinghua University to accompany him?"
"I haven't even dated any female students from Peking University or Tsinghua University, how dare he say that about me?"
