Open up the sky

Chapter 3

As Fu Zongshu said, when Gu Xichao returned to Pitian the next day, a sheet of lacquered and gold paper was neatly placed on the desk.With a sneer, it really is the country of diamonds, and even summoning employees to meet is so extravagant.

The elevator door was originally a narrow strip of light, but with the sound of "ding", the moment the elevator door opened, a bright world suddenly appeared.Qi Shaoshang is the next director, so the office occupies the best location in the entire company, and the sunlight filters out the hot and dry parts in the thick and uniform glass, warming it down.From the furnishing of the office, it can be seen that Qi Shaoshang does not like the rigid desks and chairs, the Chivas Regal sofa, the Australian cashmere tapestry, and the European-style circular staircase spiraling up from the middle.The curved ground lamp made of crystal is a fusion of the three elements of simplicity, fashion and nature.

With such a layout, Gu Xi pursed her lips slightly, which is not bad.

"Mr. Gu." With a deep and magnetic voice, Gu Xi looked towards Dunsheng. The noon sun was too dazzling, and he had to take a few steps forward to see clearly the true owner of the Pitian Jewelry Kingdom.

Qi Shaoshang was at the other end of the office, leaning against the glass window, looking at the man under the scorching sun.A ray of light happened to stop on Gu Xichao's body, the black hairline outlined his handsome silhouette more and more clearly, the pure black hair glowed with a faint amber luster under the refraction of the sun, his figure was outstanding and his eyes dazzled .This was the first time Qi Shaoshang saw Gu Xichao, but he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled meaningfully, "Mr. Gu, we finally met."

Still with a little aftertaste, Qi Shaoshang also understood why his secretary would rather miss the lunch time than personally send Gu Xichao to the elevator.The secretary's eyes were still on Gu Xichao, which attracted Qi Shaoshang's attention, and it wasn't until Qi Shaoshang waved his hand that she blushed and left.

"Executive." Gu Xichao nodded to Qi Shaoshang against the sun, calling them concisely and clearly, so that they had greeted each other.

Qi Shaoshang was laughing at first, people are like their words, Gu Xichao is as clear as he imagined, but colder than imagined, for the first time, Qi Shaoshang frowned with concern for the person who only saw one side, Asked purely on intuition, "Mr. Gu seems to have something on his mind?"

It seems that the photos frequently seen in the newspapers have not been processed with high technology. Qi Shaoshang really has a pair of black and white, and even too sharp eyes.

Gu Xichao raised her eyebrows, you are a legend in the business world, and I came prepared.His right hand slowly raised a thick stack of information, dark green and light yellow geographic maps, and clear vertical and horizontal statistical tables, all about the geographic distribution of jade in the mainland.

It turned out that he looked a little tired because he was sorting out the materials.

Qi Shaoshang's eyes showed admiration, Gu Xichao's rigor suits his taste very much, immediately ask Gu Xichao to sit down and talk side by side, no matter what Qi Shaoshang asks, Gu Xichao can answer quickly.Qi Shaoshang knew that jewelry appraisal was his major, and he was a layman in jade mining and jade making.

The other party's frank sincerity, Gu Xichao is also unambiguous.With a single finger on the map, he drew out the four provinces of Xinjiang, Liaoning, Hebei, and Hubei, and said: "If you are not familiar with the jade-producing areas, we can focus on the four provinces with the most abundant jade. provinces, choose one to mine."

Qi Shaoshang asked again, "The value of jewelry is estimated by the hardness, brightness, and stickiness of the contact surface. What about jade?"

Gu Xichao said: "Jade, you can see and hear. The oil is shiny and the sound is crisp."

Qi Shaoshang frowned, it's not that he doesn't like capable people, it's just that his answer was too perfect, and even Gu Xichao himself was almost turned into flawless by Meiyu, so he asked, "Why do you like jade?"

"Huh?" For a moment, Gu Xichao was finally a little stunned. This question has something to do with the market plan they are starting to formulate now?

Qi Shaoshang smiled softly, and said, "I see that you know so much about jade, you must like jade very much, so you are curious."

Gu Xichao pondered for a while, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless."

Qi Shaoshang was very satisfied with Gu Xichao's contemplation, but he was dissatisfied with the answer, "I know that."

Gu Xichao looked at the slightly complacent Qi Shaoshang, and smiled brightly, "The executive knows, 'Jade is in the box to ask for a good price, and the hairpin is in the box to wait for the time to fly."

Jade's collection in the trestle is waiting for his true value, even if he is not recognized by others, it doesn't matter.The gold and silver hairpins are also stored in the box, but they are always looking forward to being bought at a high price, and losing Tsinghua University due to vulgarity.They are the same accessories, but it is a metaphor for different attitudes in life.

As soon as these words came out, Qi Shaoshang remained silent. Gu Xichao's insincerity and inconsistency in what he said were already obvious. He lost his smile and looked at Gu Xichao intently, "The reason you like it is very special. But whether it's gold or jade, there are Things of value should not be subordinated to others. Everyone has ambitions, and after fulfilling them, the only difference lies in the means to achieve them. Some rely on their true talents to compete for the world, while others do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. It is a pragmatic era, there is no distinction between clear and filthy, and those who have the ability can naturally speak from a high place."

In this way, Qi Shaoshang, who is admired by thousands of people in the Pitian Jewelry Kingdom, is just right and hits the nail on the head.

Gu Xichao nodded lightly when she heard the words, got up and walked to the window, and said slowly, "Even if there is, let me ask the world, who is the clear one, and who is the turbid one?"

Little by little, an unknown feeling spread in Qi Shaoshang's heart.When talking face to face with Gu Xichao, there was a sharp and aggressive feeling, he was too arrogant, so arrogant that people wanted to pay back, but when he turned around, there was an inexplicable loneliness in that clear back.

Qi Shaoshang stood up and approached Gu Xichao, looking from the 360° circular viewing platform of the office on the top floor of Pitian, under the light, there was a piece of prosperity that was about to debut, Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao stood side by side, they looked at the same Xiang Xiang, "Whether the world considers turbidity or not has nothing to do with me, but in my Pitian, everything is not a problem." He turned his head and looked at Gu Xichao beside him, "I was very surprised at first, there are I didn't even know about someone like you, but after checking, I found out that Lao Leng had kept a lot of proposals from you." Qi Shaoshang's eyes flashed a cold light, "You must have suffered a lot under his hands, but fortunately I found you now, it doesn't matter what I missed before, from now on, you will help me, okay?"

Such a tone, such a gaze, Gu Xichao's heart skipped a beat, why did Qi Shaoshang's words make his heart beat so fast!

"Come on, there is no problem. You can start working on this special project tomorrow. I have already told the administration department to let them cooperate with you." No matter how beautiful the blueprint is, it will become a cloud if it is not implemented. Qi Shaoshang has already left the station just now When the position returned to the desk again, it was obviously a newly thought-out decision, but when he said it, it immediately had an unchangeable weight, "I applied for a special fee of several hundred million yuan, and the planned share almost accounted for the company's next year's share. 40% of the annual plan, the success or failure of the jade market will determine Pitian's overall performance next year, so let's set up a special team, specialize in special work, and act quickly, I'll assign a few capable people to you."

"No need." The two words were categorical, and the force of negation was no less than that of Qi Shaoshang who gave the order.

Qi Shaoshang was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to watch Gu Xichao turn back from the window, walked up to him and sat down.

No one in Pitian has ever spoken to him in this tone, especially when he gave orders to make decisions.It's not that I feel offended, but what it feels like, Qi Shaoshang couldn't tell for a while.

Qi Shaoshang looked at Gu Xichao, who was glowing with confidence in his words and eyes, and his eyes stopped on him unconsciously, "In this case, you can list the people you are used to."

"I don't need help." Gu Xichao looked up at Qi Shaoshang, her eyes were full of arrogance, "It's all a burden, I can do it myself."

For a long, long time, Qi Shaoshang looked at Gu Xichao for a long, long time, so long that Gu Xichao, who was always staring at nothing and didn't mind other people's eyes, was impatiently looked at by his unceremonious gaze.

Gu Xichao was about to speak, but only heard two "haha", Qi Shaoshang smiled very brightly, "Interesting. Gu Xichao, you are really the most interesting person I have ever met."

If it didn't matter at all, Gu Xichao's face was filled with black lines, he got up to say goodbye, and walked to the door, only to hear Qi Shaoshang's serious voice chasing from behind, "Gu Xichao, the project you are in charge of is Pitian's eyes and heart, Any difficulties, you just come to me."

In just one sentence, Gu Xichao felt that there was an invisible but powerful force behind him pushing him, as long as he spread his arms, he could walk against the wind.

However, when flying with force, when the force is withdrawn, the body will be smashed to pieces.He replied "I know", but didn't look back.

Qi Shaoshang watched the door open and close for a long time.What he said was what he should say as the executive of Pitian, and he had said this to many talents in Pitian, but when it came to Gu Xichao, he had a different mind.Qi Shaoshang didn't figure out this different thought that day, but soon he realized that the reason why he said that was because he really wanted to give Gu Xichao a good wind and to see him smile.

Pitian's work efficiency is well-known in the industry. In less than a day, he sorted out three floors and gave it to Gu Xichao alone.This kind of exclusive power is the first time since Pitian started its business. Employees who are not descendants of the surname Qi can enjoy such treatment.Others sighed and sighed, but there was nothing they could do. The three-story instruments, the testing field and the professional knowledge involved were by no means simple. Gu Xichao was familiar with any type of instrument, but Pitianli only showed up at the board meeting and the annual reception. As an executive, he would come to see Gu Xichao several times a day, and this kind of face was almost an honor.

At the project development meeting, all the department managers saw the young man next to the executive for the first time, and their thinking remained highly concentrated, because the executive they had always admired was meditating with a pen and Gu Xichao explained that every word about the production of jade, Even nodding frequently.The routine is like this, so there is no reason for managers not to use pen and paper to record, unless they don't want their own golden jobs.

Open up the sky, the research department.

"There is a banquet tonight, do you want to go together after work? Xi Chao, you don't look very good, are you tired?" The entrance to the instrument room of the Pitian Research Department is locked with a code. With tens of millions of instruments, it is too troublesome to lock the doors one by one. Simply lock the doors, and it is convenient to enter and exit.Of course, this lock has no effect on Qi Shaoshang, he only needs to illuminate his pupils to go in and out freely.

Originally this was a door that could isolate everyone, but now Qi Shaoshang can come in and out freely, Gu Xichao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, staring at the computer without looking at him, and refused in a low voice: "No."

Gu Xichao is rarely impatient with Qi Shaoshang, this time it's not because he doesn't like Qi Shaoshang's proposal, but because the title "Xichao" has only belonged to one person for so many years.

And this person's father is his real boss now.

truly……

Appreciating the meaning of these three words, Gu Xichao couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

There was a soft "pop", and when Gu Xichao came back to his senses, Qi Shaoshang had already closed the laptop in front of Gu Xichao, and leaned over to look at him.

Oops, data not saved!When Gu Xichao's gaze changed, and when he raised his head and raised his eyebrows, this aura gave birth to a sense of indomitability for no reason.

I don't know what to say, if someone else looked at him with such a tone and such eyes, Qi Shaoshang wouldn't even need to look at him, someone would pay back to these rebellious guys for him, but since getting to know Gu Xichao, He suddenly discovered that some people's temperaments are so different, which is pleasing to the eye.

Of course, he didn't really want to see Gu Xichao frowning, "What are you thinking, I called you several times and didn't respond." When he got closer, Gu Xichao's half-circle bruises under his eyelids became more obvious, and the dark circles under his eyes made his clear face look tired In an instant, Qi Shaoshang had the urge to reach out and wipe it off for him, but he forgot that the dark circles under his eyes need more rest, and they can't be wiped off.

"You look very tired, as if you haven't rested for several nights, why are you so busy at work?"

Gu Xichao could only smile when he heard the words, but his mind turned quickly to think, after all, he was the thief first, and it is impossible to say that he is not guilty at all.

"I won't let you idle during working hours, but don't look at the materials when you get home from work. You still have time for the project. I happen to be going to Switzerland for a meeting in a few days. Your data will be handed in when I come back. It's all in time." I didn't pay attention to Gu Xichao's thoughts, Qi Shaoshang just smiled with concern, "Although I didn't start my career as a jade ware, I also graduated by doing experiments in Pennsylvania. There will be no rush at that time, but you may find the best conditions when you turn on the instrument one day, don’t you think so?”

Regarding the instrument experiment, Qi Shaoshang's short words actually spoke the truth, Gu Xichao couldn't help but look up at Qi Shaoshang, his words seemed intentional but also unintentional.

"By the way, Xi Chao, Fu Zongshu will also go to the Swiss Finance Association this time."

The words Fu Zongshu hit Gu Xichao's heart like a heavy sledgehammer with a "boom". Gu Xichao was not completely unmoved by Qi Shaoshang's meticulous care, but he kept silent and pretended not to see it.

How to answer?Could it be telling Qi Shaoshang that he continues to work after work every day, but it's not for Qi Shaoshang, nor is he setting up the sky.

"Who is Fu Zongshu?" Gu Xichao turned his eyes away and asked indifferently.

Qi Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "He is my business rival. He was originally in the construction business, and he has made small gains in the jade market over the years. This time, Pitian attacked the mainland jade market, which can be regarded as a move. On the site, the profit pie is only that big, and now that we have made an extra cut, he will definitely come and take a look."

"If you want to see it, let him see enough."

Qi Shaoshang watched Gu Xichao rubbing his brows after saying these words, Gu Xichao's exhaustion was beyond words, deep exhaustion poured out from his heart unstoppably, covering his whole body.

"Xichao, although the project is important, I don't want you to be exhausted." Gu Xichao said no help, and Qi Shaoshang didn't mention the matter of finding someone to help him. "Think slowly, do it when you think clearly, and think again if you don't think clearly. I will wait for you, and I and the whole Pitian will wait for you." When Qi Shaoshang said this, he kept looking at Gu Xichao, but When Gu Xichaozhen listened to his words and turned his head, he looked away, "Don't work too hard on yourself, and I don't want to be told that I only care about making money and exploiting my subordinates."

After a period of silence, it seems that he can't wait for him to express his opinion, anyway, don't be too anxious.

Qi Shaoshang looked at his watch, shrugged and said, "These days before the Swiss meeting will be very busy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you. There is no problem with your project planning. I read your new stage plan last night. , in terms of marketing, Pitian is an expert, so the most important thing is to pick and choose jade..."

"Qi Shaoshang."

Gu Xichao interrupted suddenly, but Qi Shaoshang didn't care, he held his lips and smiled, and asked, "What?"

"I'll make this plan for you."

After Qi Shaoshang left the country for Switzerland, Gu Xichao always got off work on time. He drove the BMW X5 that he modified by himself steadily on the nightless streets of Central, a silver-gray sharp shuttle in the sea of ​​cars.Going back and forth as usual every day, this machine with excellent performance has already smartly guessed where it will go. On the other hand, its owner may not really understand where his destination is.

Kowloon Fu's Construction Company "Golden Ge" Headquarters

Usually when Gu Xichao came to Jin Ge Company, it was already evening, and almost all the employees of Jinge Li were off work.According to the requirements in the agreement signed with Fu Zongshu, Gu Xichao worked in Pitian during the day and returned to Fu Zongshu's Jin Ge at night. He had been living like this for nearly a week.

Since he is an employee of Jin Ge, Fu Zongshu also told him to do some things, it is still a proposal, but at present, which proposal is as important as Pitian's jade market, and which one is more important? The proposal can be as dedicated and full of interest as the jade project he made in Pitian.So in comparison, Jin Ge's proposal was not difficult for Gu Xichao, but such things took his time and energy.

Gu Xichao was idling around in the empty Jinge Building as usual.That night, Huang Jinlin came to him to see Fu Zongshu, and now it seems that it was premeditated, and what surprised him most that night was seeing Fu Zongshu holding his own plan in his hand.

In today's night sky, there is an unlucky moonlight, a slight cold wind, passing slowly, this kind of tranquility can always touch some nerves.

Gu Xichao heard his footsteps echoing in the empty building, is it quiet?It was so quiet that apart from the sound of footsteps, only the shadows were swaying along with it. No matter how you looked at the building, it felt weird.However, this atmosphere is really in line with Fu Zongshu's act of stealing the proposal. If he can let himself go to Pitian to get Qi Shaoshang's proposal, then "who" took out his proposal from Qi Shaoshang's desk.

Thinking of Fu Zongshu's calm expression, "Everyone has a reserve price."

Gu Xichao narrowed his eyes slightly, his inner eyes were faintly visible, so would this person be like him, coming back to Jin Ge during the day and at night?So, he wanted to try.

After walking around the empty building, Gu Xichao had to frown, no.

Sitting back at his desk, Gu Xichao took out his laptop and started working. Gu Xichao couldn't arouse the slightest interest in the simple and repetitive tasks, but the environment was too quiet, so his thoughts involuntarily went to the jade market project.

Pitian's jade project has a high-end strategy and a huge investment. Judging from the all-round attention paid to the source of jade produced by Pitian, jade-making techniques, and market positioning audiences, Qi Shaoshang seized the opportunity to spend a lot of money and was willing to take such a big Risk, appetite is definitely not small.

What he wants is not the partial benefits of one or two links, he wants to swallow the production and sales channels and monopolize the entire Eurasian jade market!

Be bold and ambitious, this is the game to play!Gu Xichao praised secretly in his heart, his clear eyes seemed to be on fire, it was a kind of instinctive sprouting, he met his opponent's bosom friend.

That's right, he made an investment plan for the Pitian jade market, but he is a weak person. No matter how good the plan is, if it is not implemented, it will be just a theory on paper. When she disclosed to him the attention and strong financial support that she was going to bet on, and said to him, "I and the whole Pitian will support you", Gu Xichao felt strongly that his heart was almost beating out of his chest, that pulse Li screamed almost crazily.

I want to win, I want to show my talents, I want to create miracles, I want people all over the world to know that I am Gu Xichao!

The extreme emotional ups and downs made Gu Xichao unable to control himself, and his fingers on the keyboard could not help but tremble slightly. Although he was facing the notebook, the LCD screen displayed row after row of boring data from Jin Ge Company. But his eyes and his heart have already seen through these monotonous documents, the grand blueprint that has already existed in his mind and is about to be displayed in front of people's eyes.

Glory and prosperity, the world's attention.His world, his time!

"The world is yours!"

A deep and deep voice came from the computer. In the quiet building, the sudden sound gave Gu Xichao the illusion that it sounded from his head.

Gu Xichao didn't know why for a moment, but something in his body was awakened, surging out.He stared at the LCD screen in surprise, until a line of neat and elegant words popped up on the screen.

"Xi Chao, you can't think of it!"

Gu Xichao did not expect that it was Qi Shaoshang, but Qi Shaoshang also did not expect how much surprise and shock his move would be to Gu Xichao.

After being surprised, Gu Xichao calmed down and immediately figured out the reason. Qi Shaoshang used the communication software dedicated to internal employees of Pitian. It is convenient for communication and communication between employees, but Gu Xichao is extremely unpopular and arrogant, so he has never used this thing.And the pure and heavy "The world is yours!" is the slogan of Pitian Company's business development, so it seems that it was used by Qi Shaoshang, the arrogant leader, as the online reminder.

"Xi Chao, why don't you say anything? I didn't say hello beforehand because I wanted to see if you were still working." The words were toneless, but the person who spoke was nervous and sincere.

Gu Xichao smiled when he saw Qi Shaoshang's words, and in the quiet office of the building, this smile that no one could see quietly bloomed.

Quiet and silent, but bright and unusual!

"No, I'm not working." Gu Xichao replied.

After seeing these simple six words, he didn't say anything special to Gu Xichao, and ended the conversation after a few words of pleasantries.However, Qi Shaoshang rested his head on his left hand, drank the red wine in his glass with his right hand, and smiled unconsciously.

Such an expression was as intoxicating as fine wine, but Xi Honglei, who flew from Paris to accompany Qi Shaoshang to the meeting, wanted to interrupt, "Shaoshang, what are you laughing at?"

Before he had time to lick his smiling lips, Qi Shaoshang noticed Xi Honglei's inadvertent movement in front of the computer, and his eyes changed slightly: "I'm not smiling, he's my new helper. You can't help me after a day of flying." Rest early."

Xi Honglei closed the notebook calmly, "You also know that you haven't slept for almost thirty hours." At this point, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Don't worry about your new helper, so you just sit in front of the computer and wait until the next day. Now." She knew that Qi Shaoshang had never been obsessed with notebooks.

The footsteps that were about to go to the bedroom stopped, and the sleepiness seemed to hit, and the words Xi Honglei said became blurred, but the proud person was too memorable, if he said he was worried, it must not be Xi Honglei Thinking that way, Qi Shaoshang said: "He is very special." Repeated, reaffirmed, said: "It's really special."
