Chapter 30 Housewarming

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, more than three hours had passed.

As night fell, the LED lights in Muzi Technology’s office hall were all on.

It was already closing time. Employees from Personnel, Administration, and Finance were packing up and clocking out eagerly.

The two or three hundred employees in the project business department, which had the most people, had also stopped working. Some were scrolling through their phones, some were watching videos, and some were laughing and fooling around. The atmosphere was very lively.

Even though the company did not require them to work overtime and they could all leave if they wanted to, out of a desire for money, they felt free to stay behind and rest for a while. By the time dinner was over, at seven or eight o’clock, they would be busy.

Guo Jiaxiang walked near the large conference room and stared at the closed door. He wanted to see Li Yi come out of the conference room and confirm his guess.

“Little Guo, why are you standing here? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Cai Xiaowei asked curiously when she saw Guo Jiaxiang staring blankly outside the large conference room.

Guo Jiaxiang was President Li’s classmate. This was something that the leaders of Muzi Technology knew. Cai Xiaowei naturally knew about it too, so she still recognized him.

“Manager Cai, I’m fine. My food hasn’t arrived yet! I’ll stand here and take a look,” Guo Jiaxiang replied embarrassedly.

Guo Jiaxiang looked hesitant. He wanted to ask Cai Xiaowei if the boss was Li Yi, but he didn’t know how to ask.

If there was any misunderstanding, it would be awkward.

At this moment, the door of the conference room opened with a bang. Li Yi appeared behind the door and waved at Cai Xiaowei. “Xiaowei, Manager Zhang hasn’t left, right? Call Manager Zhang in.”

“Okay, President Li!” Cai Xiaowei agreed and jogged to the HR department to call Zhang Lan.

“Li Yi, you, President Li!” Guo Jiaxiang stared at Li Yi with wide eyes.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Guo Jiaxiang was still very excited when he saw Li Yi ordering Manager Cai around. He could not accept it for a moment.

“Jiaxiang, you’re here too!” Li Yi greeted Guo Jiaxiang with a smile.

“Li Yi, this company is yours? Should I call you President Li? You’ve been hiding it so well.” Guo Jiaxiang looked at Li Yi uneasily and asked in surprise.

“Haha, keep it a secret for me! I don’t want everyone to know.” Li laughed and pleaded by default.

“Understood! Even if I tell them, Haitao and the others won’t believe me. It’s too strange. How did you do it?” Guo Jiaxiang nodded happily and looked at Li Yi.

“I’ll tell you about it when I have the chance. I have something going on.” Li Yi smiled and looked behind Guo Jiaxiang. Cai Xiaowei was rushing over with Zhang Lan.

Guo Jiaxiang nodded and stood aside.

Soon, Li Yi brought Cai Xiaowei and Zhang Lan into the conference room. The door slowly closed.

Before the conference door closed, Guo Jiaxiang could vaguely see a large group of people rushing excitedly towards Li Yi, Zhang Lan, and the others.

In the conference room, Li Yi and Zhang Lan were very happy. More than half of the top talents had agreed to join Muzi Technology.

Although some others also wanted to join, they either held important positions or held shares. Some of them had to go back and confirm it first, but they could not confirm it on the spot.

Zhang Lan excitedly registered and calculated that more than 40 people had the intention to join. She wanted to follow up on their resignation.

It took more than an hour for the matter of this special recruitment of top talents to finally come to an end.

After escorting this group of top talents out of the office building, Li Yi was able to catch his breath and rest for a while. He slumped down on the sofa in the office-customer area.

Today, Li Yi acted as a teacher and lectured for seven or eight hours. At the end, he had to deal with their various problems, making Li Yi’s feet and mouth tired and his body sore.

However, the results were remarkable. Li Yi felt very relieved that his efforts had not been in vain.

The highly innovative design concept of the simulation system, the sophisticated construction, the support of the algorithm that was leading the world… There were so many advantages that successfully roped them in.

With the addition of this group of top talents, the development of the simulation system would be greatly brought forward. What was somewhat annoying was that Li Yi would have to spend a lot of time tutoring them and teaching them about the new algorithm.

However, not only did these people have top-notch technology, but they also had rich work experience and management experience. In the future, the leadership could nurture them to resolve the instability of the company’s lack of elite management.

Although his body was resting, Li Yi’s mind was racing as he considered his next plan.

Suddenly, the office door opened gently. Cai walked cautiously into Li Yi’s office with a bowl of hot beef noodles.

“President Li, have some noodles to fill your stomach first! I’ll get you some supper later.” Cai Xiaowei placed the bowl of noodles in front of Li Yi.

“Thank you!” Li Yi sat up, smiling and nodding

As Li Yi was eating his noodles, his phone rang. ‘Ding dong ding…’ Li Yi pulled out his phone. It was a video call request from his sister, Li Wenxiu.

Frowning, Li Yi answered the video call and leaned his phone against the kettle on the coffee table. He gulped down noodles as he talked to his sister about the video.

“Brother, your table manners are too ugly! Can you finish eating before chatting?” As soon as the video call connected, Li Wenxiu frowned and said in disdain.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. I’m hungry! I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you,” Li Yi said angrily as he swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

“Mom! You talk to him! If I talk to my brother, I’ll die of anger sooner or later.” Li Wenxiu rolled her eyes speechlessly and handed the phone to his mother.

The video screen shook, revealing the kind face of her mother, Ye Huilan.

“Mom!” Li Yi put down his chopsticks and looked at the screen, smiling in greeting.

“Little Yi, why are you eating so late?” Ye Huilan asked with concern. Seeing the luxurious office background behind Li Yi, she asked curiously, “Where are you?”

“At the office! I just finished work, so I’m eating now,” Li Yi explained with a smile.

“No matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time. It’s already past eight o’clock. You can’t do this. Moreover, you’re eating instant noodles…” Ye Huilan frowned and started nagging “Mom, I only eat this occasionally. When I get back later, I’ll have supper. I won’t be hungry,” Li Yi quickly defended himself. Then, quickly changing the subject, he asked, “By the way, what’s going on at home? Why did you call me suddenly.”

Hearing Li Yi’s question, Ye Huilan could not help but explain, “The renovation of the new house is done, and the date is good. We’re preparing to move into the house. Can you make time to come back?”

“That’s quick. When is it? I’ll get ready in advance,” he asked with some surprise.

“Your father hired Uncle Hai and the others to rush the work. The speed is not bad. The date is on the tenth day of the lunar calendar. It will be done in five days,” Ye Huilan explained with a smile.

“Okay! I’ll be back in two days,” Li Yiconfirmed to his mother.

Moving into a new home was a joyous occasion for the people in their village. They would definitely have to hold a banquet to invite relatives and neighbors. It would be very busy. Li Yi had to go back and help.

“Yes! If you’re busy, you can just rush back on that day!” Ye Huilan reminded her considerately.

Li Yi smiled and nodded in understanding.
