Chapter 717: Nobody Recognized It
"Really?" Long Xiaoshan frowned slightly.
"Maybe I'm too sensitive, and it might not be Mr. Li's issue. Speaking of which, Mr. Li's abilities are truly strong. Deservedly an elite from Hong Kong Island, the things she mentions in meetings are often unheard of by many of us. Now, everyone in the company both fears and respects her. Xiaoshan, I'm not one to gossip, so don't let my words give you a bad impression of Mr. Li," Jin Lian hurriedly said.
"Of course not. In that case, I'll visit the company tomorrow."
Long Xiaoshan smiled. Li Jialin's capabilities were definitely there, and this woman was very proud. He had realized this when she first arrived and wanted to spend two hundred million to buy the medicinal recipe.
At that time, he knew that Li Jialin was not only capable but also very ambitious.
However, out of trust in Gu Jingheng and confidence in himself, he still kept Li Jialin because the Longyang Group needed someone with her exceptional abilities and vision in a leadership role to break through. Otherwise, they could only muddle along in a small place like Hechuan.
Long Xiaoshan's vision certainly wasn't limited to Hechuan City. Even the whole of West Chuan or the entire southwest couldn't necessarily meet his standards.
The next day.
Long Xiaoshan arrived at the company.
Ever since Li Jialin took charge of the company as the president, Long Xiaoshan had left this area entirely to her, and he might not show his face in the company for months.
After he entered the company, he wasn't even recognized.
He noticed many unfamiliar faces within the company.
It seemed that Jin Lian wasn't wrong.
The Longyang Group had undergone a major shakeup, bringing in many new employees.
Long Xiaoshan didn't pay much attention to it.
With his hands behind his back, he strolled around the company.
He headed towards the president's office upstairs.
At the entrance to the president's office, he was stopped by a secretary with round face and a voluptuous figure wearing black-rimmed glasses,
"I'm sorry, this is the president's office, and you can't just enter. Who are you?" the round-faced secretary sized up Long Xiaoshan, speaking with a Hong Kong accent.
"Where is Li Jialin? Tell her to come to see me. I'm Long Xiaoshan," Long Xiaoshan said calmly.
The round-faced secretary's eyebrows immediately knit together. She had a moment of good impression when she first saw Long Xiaoshan's tall and handsome appearance, only to find his request to have the president see him somewhat preposterous.
"You are not allowed to address Mr. Li by her name!"
A man's voice came from behind. A young man wearing a blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses approached, looking directly at Long Xiaoshan with a slightly arrogant tone, "I've never seen you before. You're not from the company, are you? Don't you know you need an appointment to talk business with our Mr. Li? If you don't have an appointment, please leave immediately. This is an important area of the company; not just anyone is allowed in."
"I'm here to see Li Jialin, not to talk business," Long Xiaoshan said casually.
The gold-rimmed glasses young man's gaze suddenly became wary as he looked Long Xiaoshan up and down. Long Xiaoshan was tall and handsome, with a clear complexion and appeared to be under twenty years old. The clothes he wore were ordinary, and the gold-rimmed glasses young man sneered dismissively, "Young man, Mr. Li is the president of the Longyang Group, a rich heiress from Hong Kong Island. She's not someone just anyone can aspire to, so be realistic. Stop loitering around here and leave quickly."
Seeing that even revealing his name did not lead to recognition and being mistaken for one of Li Jialin's suitors, Long Xiaoshan was somewhat impatient.
He turned his head, ignoring the man with the gold-rimmed glasses.
With a quick step, he bypassed the round-faced secretary and walked into the president's office within.
The round-faced secretary and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses were shocked. Long Xiaoshan had actually barged in despite their attempts to stop him.
Hurrying in, they were no match for Long Xiaoshan, who had already pushed open the door to the president's office and entered. The office was empty; Li Jialin was not there.
Long Xiaoshan furrowed his brow, walked around to the desk, and sat in Li Jialin's executive chair. He picked up a document Li Jialin had left on the desk and casually started flipping through it.
The round-faced secretary and gold-rimmed glasses charged in swiftly.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan audaciously seated in Li Jialin's position and browsing through company documents, both their faces turned sour.
"You, you've got some nerve," gold-rimmed glasses, unable to contain his anger, charged up to the desk and pointed at Long Xiaoshan, "Get out of here this instant."
Long Xiaoshan looked up slightly and said, "Stop yelling, I'm the company's chairman. When Li Jialin arrives, she'll understand."
"My god, are you insane? Chairman, my foot," gold-rimmed glasses rushed over, trying to yank Long Xiaoshan off the chair, but with a flick of his finger, Long Xiaoshan sent him reeling back in pain, clutching his hand.
A blue bruise had appeared on the back of his hand.
"You dare hit me?" Gold-rimmed glasses were both shocked and furious. He wanted to charge again but hesitated, fearing the pain in his hand was too much, he shouted, "Mary, go get security quickly."
"Yes, Vice President Situ," the round-faced secretary hurried out.
"Vice President Situ?"
Now, Long Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with insight. He put down the document and scrutinized gold-rimmed glasses, who became intimidated under the gaze and quickly retreated to the door, saying coldly, "Just you wait, you'll get what's coming to you when security gets up here."
Long Xiaoshan ignored his threat and asked, "Your surname is Situ, and you're a vice president of the company?"
Gold-rimmed glasses let out a cold laugh and said, "That's right, I am the Vice President of Longyang Group. Boy, you have quite the gall to impersonate the chairman and step over my head."
Long Xiaoshan, however, seemed contemplative, silent as if thinking about something.
At that moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came charging up, and the round-faced secretary arrived with several security guards. Seeing security had arrived, gold-rimmed glasses felt a surge of boldness and pointed at Long Xiaoshan, "Quick, seize this guy. He had the audacity to create a disturbance in the company and even injured me. Tie him up and take him to the police station."
The security guards promptly rushed into the president's office.
However, they quickly changed expression; the leader, a dark-skinned and burly guard, stared and exclaimed, "Chief... Chief!"
"Tieniu, Big Head, it's you guys. This doesn't concern you. Get out," Long Xiaoshan nodded his head.
"Yes, Chief!"
The security guards arrived swiftly and retreated even faster.
The round-faced secretary and gold-rimmed glasses were now baffled, wondering why the security guards hadn't taken action.
Tap tap tap!
Just then, from outside, the crisp sound of high heels clacking echoed as a tall woman clad in a dark green Chanel suit, exuding the cold, proud demeanor of a queen, entered.
As she came in and saw so many people standing at the office doorway, her eyebrows knit together slightly, and she asked indifferently, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Li, you're finally back. Just now, someone stormed into your office," the round-faced secretary hurriedly said.
"Amy," gold-rimmed glasses quickly spoke up, "This man is out of line. Not only did he barge in, but he also attacked and injured me."
Gold-rimmed glasses raised his swollen hand.
Li Jialin's expression turned cold as she quickly walked to the office door to look inside.
