Xiao Zhao's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly pouring Li Sui through.
"Where are you now? I'm here to find you, you take me to the port to see, I can't contact him."
Xiao Zhao heard his panic, and hurriedly said, "Boss Lu is a measured person. It'll be alright. Calm down first."
Li Sui also knew that he had overreacted, but he just couldn't calm down. Before leaving the house, Lu Shang's every move suddenly reappeared in his mind in slow motion over and over again. , the details will be extraordinarily clear, the more he thinks about it, the more anxious he feels. He can't wait to grow a pair of wings immediately and fly to the sea to see.
It was pouring rain outside the window, and the whole city was almost plunged into darkness.
Li Sui couldn't sit still any longer. He pulled out a set of raincoats in the closet, dressed neatly and went out.
There are no pedestrians on the street. A few stray dogs with wet hair drooping through the green belt quickly pass through the green belt. They can't hear anything except the whirring of the wind. The rain has the saltiness of the sea and was violently beaten by the wind. On his face, within five minutes of coming out, Li Sui was completely wet. He never knew that the torrential rain in the coastal areas could be so terrifying.
Li Sui walked with difficulty on the road, and finally stopped an empty car. Hearing where he was going, the driver immediately showed an embarrassed look.
"Little brother, it's not that I don't carry you. The torrential rain is too heavy. The location you mentioned is too close to the sea, and it is easy to have an accident."
Li Sui took out a stack of money and handed it to him: "Is it enough?"
If it wasn't for Lei Feng, life would be more difficult. The driver was shaken and finally let him get in the car.
I didn't dare to drive too fast, there were small sand and gravel hitting the windows from time to time, making terrible noises, both of them were tense, the driver saw that this was not the way to go, turned on the music, and started chatting with him, to relax the nerves.
"In this weather, everyone hides in the house. What are you doing at the dock?"
"Find someone."
"Oh, is it family?"
Li Sui paused in his heart, then lowered his head and said, "Mmmm."
"Don't worry, it's definitely fine." The driver comforted.
The heavy rain has not been decreasing. Their car drove near the dock and was stopped by the traffic police.
"You can't go ahead." The traffic police said loudly.
"I'll go in and find someone." Li Sui said urgently.
"There's no one inside, everyone is evacuated, go back."
"What about the sea?"
"There will be no ships leaving the port after three o'clock this afternoon. Those before three o'clock have already returned to the port. Who are you looking for? There is no one you are looking for here, so go back!"
Li Sui was stunned for a while, and the driver was also dazed. At this time, Li Sui's phone rang, and it was Xiao Zhao.
"Little Li... why are you so noisy over there?"
Li Sui hurriedly closed the car window: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Liu just called me and asked me to pick him up at the International Hotel. Boss Lu is also there, don't worry."
Li Sui felt his limbs soften for a moment: "He..."
"They didn't go out to sea at all in the afternoon, because the weather was bad, they just went to the Jinsha Coast to do a survey and came back. Where are you, why did I hear the rain, you shouldn't really go out to find him?"
Li Sui choked: "I see, thank you."
"How's it going? Someone found it?" the driver asked.
Li Sui nodded. When he came here, he thought that Lu Shanghui was here, and he only cared about running here. Once he learned that he was not in this direction at all, Li Sui instantly felt like a fool. Breathe a sigh of relief.
The driver looked at him with an expression like crying and laughing, and asked tentatively, "Then I'm going back now?"
"Go to the International Hotel."
It was like they were against them. When Li Sui arrived at the International Hotel, the rain was much lighter and the wind was still blowing. cold.
Li Sui's hair was half dried by the wind, his clothes were all wet, and his pants were covered in muddy water. He got out of the car in a state of embarrassment. He happened to catch a glimpse of Lu Shang standing at the door of the hotel, holding a wine glass and talking to someone, as if he was in a hurry. see a visitor out.
Only then did Li Sui remember that this was a farewell banquet organized by the project team for Lu Shang. It seemed that he had regained his senses at this time. Li Sui stood in dejection and did not go there again.
The people at the door clearly noticed him. Lu Shang turned his head and saw Li Sui with a rare look of astonishment on his face. He looked at him carefully and said, "Why are you here?"
Li Sui looked at him from a distance, his eyes gradually turned red, as if he was aggrieved, but at the same time he seemed to be grateful. In that second, Lu Shang felt strongly that the person in front of him wanted to rush over and hug him, but because so many people were present, they did not act.
The wind was still blowing, and the corner of the hem was lifted. Lu Shang walked over, touched his soaked clothes, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Li Sui shook his head, as if there was a ball of cotton in his throat, he was too choked to speak.
Lu Shang stopped asking, took his hand, crossed the crowd, and led him to a single room on the second floor. The administrative staff quickly brought two sets of dry clothes, Li Sui changed them, and sat on the stool to let Lu Shang blow his hair.
"Where's your cell phone? Why don't you answer the phone?"
Lu Shang fiddled with his hair and said, "The phone was out of power, I didn't take it when I went out, did you forget?"
Li Sui choked, then remembered: "Then you can also get a spare."
The corner of Lu Shang's mouth curved slightly: "I've been with Manager Liu all the time. If you want to find me, just call him."
I finally know why this child is so lost. This is the first time Li Sui has acted coquettishly at him, and it may be the only time. Lu Shang felt that it was useful, but he couldn't help being a little touched. He never knew, Li Sui. Sui took him so seriously, a single phone call could make him lose his mind to such an extent.
Lu Shang had a hunch that something seemed to be heading in a direction that he couldn't control.
"Mr. Lu, are you inside?" Someone knocked on the door.
Lu Shang turned off the hair dryer: "What's the matter?"
"It's your turn to speak."
"Just come."
Li Sui sneezed and sniffed.
"Have a cold?" Lu Shang combed his hair neatly.
Li Sui shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it was too cold just now, just go back to sleep and go."
He was already speaking with a nasal voice. He was running around outside on a heavy rainy day, and the wind had been blowing for so long, and he had been frightened all the way. Seeing him relax at this moment, all natural problems appeared. Lu Shang remembered his pitiful look at the door of the hotel just now, like a little wolf dog that was abandoned by the owner and found by himself, and felt particularly unbearable, and he had to take the main responsibility for not answering the phone.
There were still a group of people waiting outside. Lu Shang took two steps out, suddenly stopped, turned back, and said, "Do you want to learn?"
Li Sui shrank in his jacket and was stunned for a moment.
"Management companies, do you want to learn?" Lu Shang asked again.
Li Sui quickly reacted, realizing that he might not have a second chance, and immediately sat upright: "Think."
"Okay," Lu Shang said in a deep voice, "I will teach you personally from tomorrow."
What Lu Shang said about teaching was more than just talking. When they got off the plane the next day, the two of them went to the bookstore and brought back a stack of new books, both in Chinese and English.
"You already have a certain foundation before, so let's learn the theory first," Lu Shang flipped through the catalogue and made some marks on it with a red pen, "You should focus on the chapters that draw circles, and I'll teach you after reading them. What does that mean?" With that, he handed him the book.
To compress decades of learning content into high-intensity and high-density sophisticated courses, in addition to super-high talent, it also requires many times more effort and energy than ordinary people, and the test of perseverance and perseverance is even more severe.
"Although you are very smart, it is impossible to run a company without learning anything," Lu Shang said with a smile. "Take your time."
Li Sui's cold wasn't over yet, so he turned his head from the sea of books dizzily: "Have you read all these books?"
Lu Shang leaned back in his chair and flipped through a book of "Management": "When I was your age, I was already applying for an MBA."
Since that day, Li Sui has never slept in. He wakes up at 5:30 in the morning and memorizes concepts and formulas. Lu Shang still had company affairs to deal with during the day. In order to teach him personally, he could only find time to run both ways. Li Sui was always afraid that he would be tired, so he listened very carefully, and occasionally asked some questions.
Lu Shang taught things in his own way, with more guidance and less indoctrination. He always put forward a concept, let Li Sui participate in the reasoning process, and finally came to a conclusion, which was highly efficient and impressive. In addition to teaching, Lu Shang basically wouldn't bother him, and only raised a few points when he saw that he was really in circles and couldn't get out.
There was something wrong with Lushang's company that day, and he came back late. Li Sui read a book for a day, and the questions piled up so high that Lushang threw himself on it as soon as he came back.
"I understand the relationship between supply and demand, but how can it be related to the actual situation? And the number I calculated the day before yesterday doesn't seem right, and also, I solved the problem in the morning, you see ?"
After asking, I found that Lu Shang was sitting on the sofa rubbing his eyebrows, and paused: "Are you tired?"
Lu Shang smiled lightly, with obvious dark circles under his eyes: "It's okay."
"Why don't we rest."
Lu Shang shook his head: "Sit down." After speaking, he took Li Sui's book and began to explain it to him one by one.
It was already dark, and the lamp was replaced not long ago in the living room. The light was warm, and it shone on Lu Shang, making him seem lazy and soft. Li Sui stared at Lu Shang's slightly drooping eyelashes, while he was low and slightly hoarse. For the first time in his voice, he lost his mind.
"...So the formula you said the day before yesterday can now be verified using this new method - what are you looking at?"
"Uh, I..." Li Sui was stunned, seeing Lu Shang looking at him with deep eyes, and bowing his head, "I'm sorry."
Lu Shang smiled softly: "Am I good-looking?"
Li Sui took a peek at Lu Shang, and didn't know which muscle was cramping, so he said, "Good-looking..."
Lu Shang didn't expect that he would dare to say, "Better than a book?"
Li Sui didn't answer, and silently said "um" in his heart, saying that you don't even know how good-looking you are.
"Okay, I'll tell you again, but don't let your mind wander."
"Um."
After finally finishing speaking, it was already past twelve o'clock. The two of them practiced speaking for a while. Lu Shang seemed to be extremely tired, so he slowly leaned his head on Li Sui's shoulder in a sitting position.
Li Sui knew that most of his heart was uncomfortable again, so he didn't dare to move immediately, relaxing his shoulders made Lu Shang more comfortable to lean on.
"Li Sui," Lu Shang asked in a calm tone with his eyes closed, "Is it hard to learn all this?"
"It's not hard."
"why?"
Li Sui smiled slowly, and supported Lu Shang's chin with the back of his hand: "It's been very hard to live until now, what could be more hard and unbearable than this?"
Li Sui was talking about his own experience, but Lu Shang seemed to feel it, and said softly, "Yeah..."
The two leaned against each other quietly for a while, Lu Shang didn't speak, and his breathing was quiet. Li Sui thought he was asleep, so he bent over to grab his leg, and just picked up the whole person, but Lu Shang opened his eyes. .
"Sleep?" Li Sui saw that he was awake and was about to let him down, but Lu Shang tilted his head and closed his eyes again: "I'm too lazy to go."
Li Sui was stunned for a while, then tightened his hands, strode towards the bedroom, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc: "Hmm."
During the day, Lu Shang went to work as usual. After dealing with a bunch of chores, Uncle Yuan pushed open the office door and found Lu Shang leaning on his chair watching the live video, which made him feel very novel. Lu Shang usually doesn't surf the Internet very much, and he is not interested in TV programs and other things at all. Apart from work files, he doesn't even have any extra pictures in his computer. For some reason, he suddenly sees the live broadcast room.
"Secretary Xu has an appointment this afternoon, do you want to go?"
Only then did Lu Shang raised his head from behind the display screen: "Go."
Uncle Yuan nodded, and when he left, he deliberately slowed down and listened carefully, and found that it turned out to be a live broadcast room for parents to talk about the psychology of teenagers.
During this period of intense study, Li Sui's appetite suddenly increased. He ate three large bowls for dinner and said with a bulging mouth, "When will I be able to graduate?"
Lu Shang gave him a chicken leg and smiled: "When you can see the problem in the last report, you will pass the test."
Before going to bed at night, Li Sui was lying on the bed reading a book. After several days of waking up early, he was inevitably tired and almost fell asleep on his stomach. Lu Shang came over and tapped his head lightly: "Tired?"
Li Sui rolled over and sat up, rubbing his eyes.
Lu Shang couldn't open his eyes when he saw him, took the book from his hand and urged him to go to bed.
"I'll watch it for a while." Li Sui refused.
"Don't worry, don't develop bad habits of inefficiency," Lu Shang comforted, rushing him to bed, "Go up, I'll tell you a story."
"What's the story?" Li Sui became excited.
Lu Shang took the pills out of the drawer, sat on the bed, turned off the light and lay down: "If you want a sloppy subordinate to keep his clothes neat and tidy every day, what would you do?"
Li Sui thought for a while: "Give him a rule."
"What if he doesn't listen?"
"Deduct his salary."
Lu Shang was amused.
"Isn't it right?" Li Sui asked.
"Yes, and this is the way most domestic companies take," said Lu Shang. "Besides, is there any other way?"
Li Sui thought for a while: "Let him have a girlfriend."
Lu Shang was amused again. This time he laughed outright. He was so close that Li Sui could even feel the tremor in his chest. In the darkness, his heart shook violently.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Sui controlled his voice and expression, feeling that his acting skills were getting better and better.
"Tell me why."
Li Sui restrained his expression and said seriously, "No matter how sloppy or unbearable a person is, if he meets someone who can make him want to become better, he will definitely become better."
Lu Shang understood what he meant in the clever words, but he chose to ignore it quietly: "So it's an incentive policy, isn't it?"
Li Sui let out a dull "um".
"You're right, in this world, if you want anyone to do things according to your ideas, there are only two ways, one is punishment, the other is reward, any complex mentality is based on these two methods. It's evolved," Lu Shangdao, "like this sloppy employee, you want him to keep him clean every day, one can make rules for him, and punish him if he fails to do so, and two, praise him."
"Praise? Can you boast like this?"
"No matter how sloppy a person is, there are always a few days in the year when he is clean. Take advantage of that time to praise him so much that he can't be ashamed of himself, or that he is embarrassed to appear in front of you in a sloppy image."
Li Sui thought for a while and said, "What if he is a cheeky one?"
"Then he might be a salesman," Lu Shang smiled. "This is the second thing I want to tell you. You know, how many newcomers in the workplace are defeated by the word 'face skin'. Well, if you want to become a qualified businessman, the first thing you have to remove is your face and affection."
Li Sui suddenly said, "Just shameless?"
Lu Shang was amused by him and explained, "I mean, don't make decisions that you don't want to make because of your face, and know how to refuse when you should."
Li Sui nodded, and Lu Shang continued: "Let's get down to business, you need to teach students according to their aptitude, and the same is true for employing people. When to use punishment, when to use incentives, and when to use both, depends on the person you want to use."
"So," Lu Shang said, "in addition to what is written in the book, there is another important thing you must understand."
"What is it?"
"People's hearts."
Li Sui was stunned.
Lu Shang held his hand under the quilt and squeezed it as if he sighed: "Li Sui, I teach you to understand people's hearts, in case someone hurts you in the future, and you won't be passive, not to let you Harm others. You need to understand people's hearts, but don't play with them. You are an indomitable man, and you should do higher things. People's mental strength is limited, so use it on the right path. I hope you will always remember this sentence."
