At the Olkus office, Li Mu, dressed in the style of a business elite, with a well-fitted suit and a mature and calm temperament, walked in accompanied by a group of senior executives.
Two months ago, as a laid off member, he hurriedly left with a cardboard box in his arms; two months later, as the company's chairman and controlling shareholder, he made a strong return and entered Olkus's door again.
The people have not changed, the company has not changed, only the identity has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In fact, even Olkus company executives were surprised. They did not expect that a technician in the company who was usually unknown to everyone turned out to be a rich man in private.
They were laid off and directly acquired the company. They had to be filled with emotion.
Fortunately, there are many rich people in this world who are all kinds of weird. It’s no big deal if they pretend to be poor and settle for mediocrity.
…
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Li Mu spotted someone holding a cardboard box and walking out in a hurry.
I turned around and took a look, and it turned out to be David. He had been laid off!
That's fine, it saves him the chance to take action.
Li Mu naturally didn't know that although David was not technically proficient, he was very good at office politics. Originally, after kicking Su Mingzhe away, his position had been secured and layoffs would not be his turn.
However, with Li Mu's strong return, his past in the company has naturally been taken seriously.
As a technical backbone of the company, he was laid off despite being outside the scope of layoffs. Naturally, the company's senior management needs to investigate this matter clearly.
Li Mu is now the chairman, the company's controlling shareholder, and the person who controls their position. If such a person is wronged, it will be too shameless to wait until someone takes action in person.
It's better if you don't pay attention to David's small actions. You can pass by them and take a closer look, but you still can't find the reason.
As a result, David was put on the company's last batch of layoffs list without hesitation.
It should be noted that there are only two people on the layoff list. The other manager who was laid off was really incompetent and had to be laid off.
Thanks to Li Mu's investment, the company is no longer short of funds, and everyone else has been crossed off the layoff list.
…
At this time, David also noticed Li Mu. His eyes froze, and his face showed shock, confusion, disbelief and regret.
I never imagined that one of my harmless technicians could become the chairman and controlling shareholder of the company.
If he had this kind of strength, if he showed it early, he would have already rushed up to fawn over him. Why are he so low-key?
Not only did he offend a rich man, he also missed a great opportunity to get close to the rich man and get a promotion and a salary increase.
There was no need to say anything about regrets, I just lowered my head, hugged the box and left in a hurry.
…
This made Li Mu feel a little bored. Before he could make a move, his opponent was already on the ground.
And there is no sense of achievement. With his current position, taking action against such a person would feel a bit unviable.
Fortunately, it was all over, and David was immediately forgotten by him.
…
Meeting Liu Feng halfway, Li Mu nodded and said, "Old Liu!"
Liu Feng's eyes widened instantly. He didn't expect the rumors to be true. His expression contained excitement, surprise, and even more incredible.
"Brother Su..." As he was about to finish his sentence, he saw the senior executives of the company surrounding Li Mu. He couldn't say the rest of the sentence, so he called out softly.
"Dong Su!"
Li Mu smiled and said in Chinese: "You're welcome. Let's discuss our own affairs in private. In the evening, call Xiao Zhao and the others and let's get together."
Liu Feng became happy and his expression relaxed.
"Okay, Brother Su."
Several senior executives around him could not understand Chinese and could only watch the conversation between the two with confused expressions. Fortunately, they only chatted casually for a few words and then continued the inspection schedule.
Watching Li Mu leave surrounded by a crowd of senior executives, Liu Feng felt as if he was in a dream. He had just been laid off two months ago and yet he had returned as chairman.
This is eye-popping news.
Returning to his work station, Liu Feng's mood still hadn't calmed down. Thinking of Li Mu's invitation to them to get together, Liu Feng became even more excited.
Li Mu was willing to invite them to drink, and obviously acknowledged their previous friendship. He would also have a background in the company in the future.
…
Accompanied by senior executives, Li Mu walked up and down Olkus and finally came to the chairman's office.
European retro floor-to-ceiling curtains, fringe crystal lamps hanging high on the ceiling, and bookshelves filled with books of all kinds.
There are also a few bouquets of flowers stained with morning dew, placed randomly, emitting a faint fragrance.
With the help of his assistant, Li Mu learned about the company's scale and operations from another perspective.
After several layoffs, Olkus still has more than 300 employees, 90% of whom are senior technicians with powerful skills.
Among them, there are about 70 Chinese people, all of whom graduated from prestigious universities, including more than 10 Tsinghua alumni.
It seems that there are more than 20,000 Tsinghua graduates in Silicon Valley alone, and this statement is true.
With the help of his assistants and senior executives, Li Mu gradually tried to adapt to the role of chairman, learning and integrating at the same time. He also signed up for a short-term MBA CEO training class to learn how to truly manage and operate a company.
…
On the other hand, Li Mu, who has ascended to the chairmanship of Olkus after this move, is also well-known in the Chinese community in Silicon Valley, Bay Area.
I received invitations one after another to attend parties, many of which were from high-end social circles composed of domestic students and ethnic Chinese.
There is also the venture capital circle. Silicon Valley is a paradise for entrepreneurship, and the most important thing here is entrepreneurs.
In this way, his life gradually became more fulfilling and exciting, and he learned many new things.
…
Domestically, Su Daqiang, as a wild boy, was on the road to becoming a demon. On this day, he called Li Mu again to tell him about Su Mingcheng's situation.
"Mingzhe! Take me to the United States quickly. I'm going to be bullied to death by Mingcheng and his wife."
Li Mu said: "What's wrong?"
Su Daqiang complained: "Mingcheng and his wife are so shameless. They don't let me do this or that. They look at me like a thief every day. I can hardly live anymore."
Before Li Mu could answer, he heard Mingcheng's angry and aggrieved roar.
"Dad, you have to be conscientious when you speak. Lili and I live frugally every day and try our best to take care of you. What else can we do?"
"Lili is so angry that she has returned to her parents' home. Are you really willing to break up your son's family?"
"Dad, you can't be so selfish!"
Su Daqiang turned a deaf ear to Su Mingcheng's words. He walked aside holding the phone and complained again: "Listen, Mingzhe, Mingcheng started to lose his temper with me again. I can't stay in this house anymore."
"When are you going to take me to the United States? If you don't let me go, then send me to a nursing home. It's better than staying at Mingcheng's house and suffering the consequences."
The excuse of a nursing home was used once last time. Knowing that the filial Su Mingzhe would not send him there, he used it again.
When Su Mingcheng heard Su Daqiang's confusing words, he rushed forward and grabbed the phone angrily, half explaining and half complaining: "Brother, in addition to paying off the mortgage, Lili and I spent 2/3 of our salary and bonus on Dad."
"For Dad, we live frugally; we don't dare to go out to restaurants or buy new clothes; we don't even dare to step on the accelerator when driving."
"Lili and I are very careful at home and do our best to take care of dad. We don't dare to neglect him in the slightest."
"I didn't expect that dad would say that it was us who bullied him. It would be better to go to a nursing home than stay at my house. Who bullied whom? Big brother... Lili was so angry that she went back to her parents' home."
Li Mu comforted him: "Mingcheng, I know you have worked hard during this period."
"Sigh... Dad has no one to hold him down, and he is becoming more and more like a monster. We can't get used to this kind of thing."
"Don't worry, let me handle it. You can't let dad affect your and Lili's normal life all the time."
Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then said in a relaxed and joyful tone: "Thank you, brother."
The phone was then handed over to Su Daqiang.
His tone was full of hope: "Mingzhe, are you going to take me to the United States? I can't live in Mingcheng's house at all."
"If you don't pick me up, you might as well send me to a nursing home. Tell me whether I want to go to a nursing home!"
As he said this, he squeezed his eyes hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears. Then he thought that he was making a phone call and Mingzhe couldn't see it, so he gave up.
Li Mu said: "Dad, do you really think the nursing home you live in is better than the Su Mingcheng family?"
Su Daqiang was stunned for a moment and said harshly: "No! If you don't take me to the United States, I will move to a nursing home tomorrow."
He thought this sentence could scare Li Mu. After all, in his heart, the eldest son was the most filial. The second son could tolerate him so much and indulge him so much. The eldest son dared to let him live in a nursing home and took him there without hesitation.
In the United States, live in a villa, spend US dollars, and continue to let yourself go.
However, something went wrong.
Li Mu said seriously: "Since you really want to go, I will ask Mingcheng to send you there tomorrow."
