Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chen Pingjiang's words were heartfelt. If it was someone else sitting opposite him, Chen Pingjiang would not have wasted so much time on talking. He would have directly used his leadership will to force the other party to carry out the orders.

But Li Xi is different from others. Since he is Chen Pingjiang's left arm and right arm, he can also be considered half-disciple of Chen Pingjiang.

Forcing someone to drink water is not a good idea. He still hopes that Li Xi can think carefully about this issue and look at the overall situation.

Of course he could also understand Li Xi's difficulties.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I will hold a meeting immediately after I return to implement your instructions. I will cooperate with the promotion of Douyin and treat it as a group strategy."

Li Xi adjusted himself quickly. He was well aware of his position. The fact that Director Chen could persuade him so earnestly was already enough to give him face.

It’s just... a pity, why don’t they give the TikTok project to them?
After the meeting, Chen Pingjiang took a step forward, and everyone else subconsciously followed two steps behind.

Looking at Li Xi who was packing up the paper and pen, Lin Bin smiled and came up to pat him on the shoulder: "Don't take it personally, you are the one who makes the decision. It's not easy for Director Chen to make this decision. He must have his considerations. Subordinates still need to resolutely execute. The strategy of the subsidiary group still needs to obey the overall situation. Tell Xiao Xiang to come to my house for dinner. I haven't seen that girl for a long time."

The Xiao Xiang here refers to Li Xi’s wife, Xiang Yin.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin, I will come to visit you some other day." Rubbing his swollen head, Li Xi quickly stood up after hearing Lin Bin's invitation. Even though he is the helmsman of a large group with a market value of hundreds of billions, Li Xi is still as humble as ever.

He also heard deep concern in Lin Bin's words.

"Little Leo, I think you should communicate more with your master. If you have any difficulties, just tell him directly. He will understand." Wan Yuqian also showed concern, which was unusual for her.

After Lin Bin and Wan Yuqian left, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo, who had been neither sitting nor standing, finally got rid of the awkward situation and hurried forward.

These two people are in a difficult situation. The meeting just now was full of fear and it was as awkward as it could be.

They certainly didn't want Li Xi to have any grudges because of this incident, and they didn't want to offend Li Xi because of it.

But at the same time, the promotion of Tik Tok is really inseparable from the support of Renren.

Chen Pingjiang’s attitude is Chen Pingjiang’s attitude, and Li Xi’s thoughts are also very important.

If the two of them become arrogant because of Chen Pingjiang's support, then they are really living a stupid life at their age.

"Mr. Li, it's almost time for lunch. Would you like to have a quick meal together?" As the former senior vice president of Renren.com, Zhang Yiming and Li Xi did not have much contact, but they were familiar with each other. It would be more appropriate for him to initiate the conversation.

Li Xi looked at Zhang Yiming deeply, and then nodded silently.

Li Xi was in a bad mood, and the three of them didn't talk much on the way downstairs.

To be honest, Zhang Yiming could also understand Li Xi's thoughts.

Even if it were him, he might not be happy.

Who would be happy if their star product had to be transfused to other companies, only to have it become a competitor in the future?
Since they had work to do in the afternoon, the three of them did not walk far. At Li Xi's suggestion, they went directly to the executive restaurant and found a small private room.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yiming put on a smile and said, "Mr. Li, I am not very good at speaking, so please forgive me if I say something wrong. Although I am now working on the Douyin project, I am still your vice president, and you will always be my old leader. Douyin's rise is inseparable from your support, but as Mr. Chen said, even without Douyin, there is still Kuaishou. The progress of the times is not determined by personal will. Besides, Renren itself is a shareholder of Douyin. If Douyin can really develop in the future, I believe it will be able to feed back to Renren from other angles."

Liang Ruobo also nodded: "For example, game promotion and industry linkage."

Zhang Yiming's attitude was very humble, which at least made Li Xi feel comfortable. "Hey, Zhang, please don't embarrass me. I'm just luckier than you. I've been with the leader for a few years earlier. You are much more experienced than me in technical management. This time, Zhang, you founded ByteDance, which is really 'the sky is high and the birds fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish leap freely'. I really look forward to ByteDance becoming a member of the 100 billion club one day." Li Xi smiled and waved his hand: "I understand your worries, but don't worry, I can still tell which is more important, the internal voice or the will of the leader."

……

Li Xi was frowning the whole time as he walked out of the executive restaurant and back to the office. The employees passing by could see that Mr. Li was in a bad mood, so no one dared to approach him and offend him.

During the meal just now, both parties had a clear understanding of each other.

Zhang Yiming and Liang Ruobo's humble attitude finally made Li Xi feel better.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and "fighting" is everywhere.

It is all too common for colleagues to compete for promotions and for companies to scramble for project resources.

To put it bluntly, Renren and ByteDance are like two project teams, each scrambling to promote their own products...

This kind of competition also exists within Renren.

The same project is assigned to two teams. Whoever does the best will take over. The winner takes all and gains both fame and fortune.

The team that failed to get the project can only starve.

After thinking everything through, Li Xi just felt a little uncomfortable, but he would never dare to disobey the boss's wishes, otherwise he would be fired soon.

In fact, Li Xi's thoughts just show his responsibility and that he regards Renren as his own hard work and his own home.

If he was just a group executive who was doing nothing, Li Xi could just do whatever Chen Pingjiang said, and he would get every cent of the dividend and bonus at the end of the year, and he could also get the appreciation of his leader. Why not do it?
But Li Xi's biggest dream and motivation is to bring Renren to a higher position - to become the Internet company with the highest market value in the world.

I had just returned to the office and sat down for less than five minutes when the secretary came in to report.

Mr. Wen Yanwen, the group’s senior vice president and head of the Weibo business group, is here.

Li Xi lost his temper instantly and gave a bitter smile. What was going on? His annoyance was still not gone and he had to persuade and comfort Wen Yan.

It’s easy to guess why Wen Yan came here.

"Please come in, Mr. Wen. Go make a cup of coffee from the cupboard for Mr. Wen to try."

After only two or three minutes, Wen Yan walked in quickly with a worried look on his face, and asked as soon as he saw them, "I heard that you are going to promote the Douyin project?"

Li Xi was stunned, but still smiled and asked, "Brother Wen, how come you are so well-informed? You found out about this not long after the executive meeting this morning?"

Wen Yan was so angry, "Do I need to know? Douyin has already sent someone to contact us."

Li Xi: “…”

Zhang Yiming, you are so anxious! You came up to me eagerly before I could sort out the internal affairs. (End of this chapter)
