Rekindle 2003

Chapter 800 Xiaobai, this flattery is too strong
Thinking of the scene when he was embarrassed by someone in the meeting, Yang Zhiyuan's breathing became rapid and his chest heaved violently, but he dared not make a sound for fear of attracting the attention of outsiders.

In this silent office, Yang Zhiyuan had no place to vent his anger; he could only endure the torment silently.

I have to find something to vent!
Yang Zhiyuan's eyes swept around the office.

He kept all of Zhiliu's things except for replacing a chair.

After all, many things, especially bottles and jars, are quite valuable, and, to be honest, he likes them too.

As for Zhiliu's collection of cigars, cigarettes and alcohol, they would certainly not be wasted.

Finally, his eyes fell on a sofa cushion.

Yang Zhiyuan strode forward, grabbed the cushion, and turned to face the wall.

A trace of pain and struggle appeared on his face, and then he suddenly slammed the cushion against the wall, again and again.

Every time the cushion hit the wall, it was like the anger in his heart was looking for an outlet.

His movements became larger and stronger, and his strength became more and more violent, but his face maintained an almost twisted calmness.

The cushions were thrown more and more frequently, and Yang Zhiyuan's breathing became more and more rapid. His heart was filled with dissatisfaction with the status quo and longing for the future.

He wanted to break it all, wanted to prove himself, wanted to gain real power and respect.

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Yang Zhiyuan's face. He knew that he could not continue to be passive like this. He needed to take action and find strength to rely on.

His eyes fell again on the sofa cushion that had been thrown into shapeless shape, then he stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.

He picked up the cushion again, patted it gently, and slowly put it back on the sofa.

His face regained its composure.

He knew that he also had to calm down and plan every next step carefully.

He now needs to stabilize the internal situation, but because he had been hiding his abilities for too long in order to paralyze Zhi Liu, there are almost no people under his command who can be reused.

He couldn't guarantee the loyalty of other talented people in the company.

This made Yang Zhiyuan feel unprecedentedly isolated and helpless.

He needs a catfish to stir up the water.

Yang Zhiyuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, his eyes penetrating the glass and looking into the distance.

He turned back to his desk and tapped his fingers on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

"Bai Le..." Yang Zhiyuan muttered to himself, and the name flashed in his mind.

He remembered that Bai Le had defected from the Yanhuang Group.

Frankly speaking, he actually didn't know Bai Le's abilities, nor did he know what abilities he had.

But Qing Yun's appreciation of him is undoubtedly a guarantee.

Although they were enemies, he believed in Mr. Xiaoqing's vision.

A person who regards the world as a chessboard will certainly have a good eye for people.

Now Bai Le’s position in the Fantasy Group is very awkward due to his status as a surrendered general, but he could be of great use.

A gleam of light flashed in Yang Zhiyuan's eyes.

What he needs is not only Bai Le's ability, but also the value behind Bai Le.

The value of horse bones.

If Bai Le is still a good horse...

Yang Zhiyuan picked up the phone, dialed the internal line, and asked his assistant to bring Bai Le to his office.

……

Boom!Boom!Boom!
There was a polite knock on Yang Zhiyuan's office door, and after he said come in, his assistant opened the door from outside.

In the sunlight, Bai Le's figure appeared at the door with a humble smile on his face.

"Bai Le, you're here." Yang Zhiyuan's voice was a little gentle. He stood up from behind his desk and took the initiative to greet Bai Le.

That cheap teacher once said that a big man’s kindness to the lower class people can not only demonstrate his magnanimity and style as a leader, but also win him unexpected respect from the lower class people.

Sometimes, this kind of respect may save the life of a big shot.

Yang Zhiyuan deeply agrees with this and puts it into practice.

Bai Le walked into the office, his tone was somewhat cautious, but also somewhat confident, "Boss Yang, you are looking for me?"

"Come, sit down, let's talk."

The two sat down on the sofa, and Yang Zhiyuan personally poured a cup of tea for Bai Le.

This action surprised Bai Le.

This is something he couldn't experience from Xiao Qing...

So, Bai Le suddenly felt that Yang Zhiyuan was a little hypocritical.

because……

He had seen noble ladies like Qin Manyan.

From Qin Manyan, Bai Le understood a truth: a person's upbringing, deep in his bones, is politeness towards people of the lower class.

But that's just politeness.

It is the tolerance from above to below.

Or it can be called the unkind look down upon all things as if they were straw dogs.

He himself climbed up from the bottom of society, and he is more aware of the fact that when dealing with people from the lower class, you can be polite and show your upbringing, but you must never respect them in your behavior.

The more respect you have for them, the easier it is for them to bully you, because in their minds, your kindness can easily be seen as being easy to bully.

Poor people fear power rather than virtue, and they are afraid of whoever is powerful.

Xiaoqing always says that in the lower half of the pyramid, there is only virtual dignity and real interests.

Because in this society, the gap between the rich and the poor causes people's psychology to be distorted. The lower they go, the more extreme it becomes. As long as the benefits are big enough, people will tear off the mask of hypocrisy, so the kinder they are, the more hurt they are.

At that time, Bai Le was very unconvinced and asked Qing Yun what about the upper half of the pyramid. Could it be that the more precious the bird, the more it cherishes its feathers.

However, Bai Le will never forget Xiao Qing's answer.

The upper part only cares about interests, and within the minimum rights they have, they make things as difficult for others as possible, so as to prevent those below from climbing up.

Therefore, Bai Le prefers Xiao Qing's way, beating you, scolding you, and scolding you, but giving you real benefits. Yang Zhiyuan smiled and asked: "Xiao Bai, where did you stay yesterday? Did you sleep well?"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his treatment of Bai Le yesterday was too hasty.

This should imply that the cheap teacher put Bai Le under house arrest first.

Then, today I will release him to achieve the purpose of showing kindness.

unwise!

Bai Le scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I slept in the Internet cafe last night."

His answer was simple and direct, without any other embellishment.

Yang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that Bai Le was actually still a young man who had just entered society not long ago.

He often found a place to spend the night when he first started working.

This was especially true during the first two years when my performance was not up to par and I was looked down upon in the company.

When I go on business trips, I often find a public bathroom or just take a nap on a bench at the station.

There is no way. If there are performance results, travel expenses are related to the gross profit. If there are no performance results, they are all costs.

Of course, it was precisely his hard work and perseverance that caught Zhi Liu's eye.

Otherwise, just because he lost a big order because he didn't check the numbers carefully on the quotation not long after he started working, he would have been unable to recover for a long time.

So, at this moment, when Yang Zhiyuan heard Bai Le's quiet complaints, he felt a little enlightened and a little amused in his heart.

This little white guy is quite interesting.

However, this trick... Sorry, I am the ancestor.

He handed over a cigarette calmly.

Bai Le was a little helpless when he saw this. He took the cigarette, scratched his head, and took the initiative to continue the topic.

"Boss Yang, you know my situation. I plan to find a house to rent after I'm sure I can get the job."

Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That's right, it doesn't waste money. I understand."

After taking a puff of his cigarette calmly, he got back to the point, "Xiao Bai, you should know that things are different now."

Bai Le nodded heavily upon hearing this, "I understand! Director Yang! I firmly believe that under your leadership, Fantasy will be able to ride the wind and waves and restore its glory."

After that, he licked his lips, and then added with a hint of admiration in his tone, "In fact, when I was in the Yanhuang Group... You don't know that the person Qingyun feared the most was not Zhi Liu or Guo Wei, but you."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he was stunned.

This……

Where to start?

This is a flattering shot!
He himself doesn't think so!
Having held a high position for many years and always kept a low profile under Zhi Liu's nose, Yang Zhiyuan is actually very clear about the limits of his abilities.

In terms of ability, can he compare with Zhi Liu and Guo Wei?

Then what does Guo Wei have to do with it!

After glancing at Bai Le unhappily, Yang Zhiyuan sneered, "Xiao Bai, you're using too much force!"

At this time, Bai Le shook his head and said seriously, "Chairman, I'm not flattering you! That kid Qing Yun really said that."

Seeing Yang Zhiyuan's disbelief mixed with a hint of itchiness, Bai Le laughed in his heart, but his face was full of sincerity.
"When asking Yang Bingnan to pass on the message to us like Fantasy, Qingyun said that the person he feared the most was you.

We asked that at the time, after all…”

At this point he smiled embarrassedly, "Chairman, after all, in our opinion at that time, your reputation was not good."

Yang Zhiyuan's curiosity was completely aroused by Bai Le, "What did Qingyun say?"

Bai Le quickly said, "He said that Zhi Liu and Guo Wei were too suspicious and too self-righteous. When the news was passed on, no matter if it was true or false, they would think about it to death. The more they thought about it, the easier it would be to be fooled."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, his face looked constipated.

Is this a compliment or an insult?
So you are saying that you are stupid!

"Qing Yun said, Chairman, you may not be as smart as Zhi Liu and Guo Wei, but in the business world, what I fear most is people like you who are simple-minded, taciturn, and quick to act.

He said that if you were the one who fantasized about being in charge, your strategy would be difficult to implement and you would have to rely on your strength because your self-control is too good.

You may not know what kind of personality Qing Yun has. He simply won't listen to any opposing opinions.

He even said that if he had to choose between you and Guo Wei to be the general manager, he would definitely choose you and kick Guo Wei, who is talented but keeps giving orders, out of the company. "

After hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan didn't feel as refreshed as if he was eating ice watermelon on a hot day, but he couldn't suppress the smile.

The person who knows you best, besides yourself, is your enemy.

To be able to receive such an evaluation from an opponent as famous as Xiaoqing Zong...

If he wasn't concerned about his image, he would have wanted to shout out loud, "It's great!"

He knew very well that what Qing Yun said was definitely not the kind of flattery that Bai Le was saying at this moment.

But as the old saying goes, 'He who is good at fighting has no great achievements', in fact, strategies are usually used when one is in a weak position.

For example, Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty who never lost a battle in his life, never had any notable battles or fights in his entire life.

Because his battle record was unpredictable and lacked any ups and downs or fascinating storylines, the historians found it too boring.

History records: "Jing is of a calm and steady nature, follows his own path, and is cautious and prudent." Yang Zhiyuan believes that this is a reflection of himself, and is also what makes him superior to Zhi Liu and Guo Wei.

If I can't beat you, I will retreat. If I can beat you, I will crush you with my strength and never take risks.

After patting Bai Le's shoulder with a smile, Yang Zhiyuan's face quickly darkened.
"Xiao Bai, please stop flattering me in the future. I am not the kind of leader who likes to hear flattery. I appreciate people who speak with their achievements and abilities."

Bai Le nodded immediately after hearing this, and his tone became more sincere, "Director Yang, your integrity and fairness are respected by everyone!

In front of you, I feel so small and inadequate..."

Bai Le's free flattery gushed out like a spring.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and pointed at him with his finger, as if he couldn't do anything to him. "You, you, you really should change this bad habit. You are still young, so don't say it in front of others."

Bai Le smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly, saying that he would pay more attention in the future.
