Their guide!
They all felt imnse gratitude and admiration towards this young general manager.
They knew well, without Bai Xiaosheng, there wouldn’t be today’s Zhongjing dia! And there wouldn’t be who they are now!
Even though two years have passed, the current general manager, Gao Dazhi, often emphasizes this again and again.
In fact, these veterans would talk about it endlessly to the newcors.
While recounting Bai Xiaosheng’s legendary stories to new employees, they wouldn’t forget to add—
"Without Mr. Bai for those two years, your salaries today would be a third less!"
Under such an atmosphere, even the newcors developed a subtle admiration for the young general manager whom they had never t.
At that mont, the new security guard rembered the countless tis he’d heard the "legend" when the manager referred to Bai Xiaosheng like that.
He widened his eyes in astonishnt, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with awe in his gaze.
"It’s really you! Are you back for a visit?!" The security departnt manager rubbed his hands, his face beaming with a smile.
He was also an old hand promoted during Bai Xiaosheng’s tenure, who once struggled to rise to his current position, and he felt deep gratitude towards Bai Xiaosheng.
"Yes, just happened to return ho and stopped by to visit." Bai Xiaosheng smiled warmly at him.
"Alright, alright, please co in!" The security departnt manager quickly invited Bai Xiaosheng and his companions inside.
The new security guard behind him seed to rember sothing and gently tugged at his leader’s sleeve, but the security departnt manager didn’t seem to notice, respectfully ushering them in.
"We’ll go in by ourselves, you carry on." Lin Weiwei said with a smile.
The security departnt manager nodded repeatedly, finally stopping in place.
Even after Bai Xiaosheng and his companions went inside, he kept watching them with respect as they left.
"Manager, isn’t this against the rules?" The security guard said nervously after they could no longer see Bai Xiaosheng and his group, "Today is an important day, a senior leader from above is visiting, and Mr. Gao has repeatedly instructed us to deny entry to visitors."
The security departnt manager suddenly turned his head, glaring at him fiercely, "Do I need you to tell what to do!?"
The young security guard was imdiately intimidated into silence.
"Is Mr. Bai an outsider! When he cos back, this gate is always open for him!" The manager said sternly, "If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!"
The young security guard felt a bit wronged by the scolding, thinking to himself, "In front of Mr. Gao, you’re always so timid. Why are you so domineering this ti?"
The young guard glanced again in the direction Bai Xiaosheng and his companions had left, thinking to himself, "Strange, how co the presence of such a young forr general manager makes my boss act so fiercely, as if he’s ready to bite soone."
The security departnt manager ignored his subordinate and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh no, I should report to Mr. Gao that Mr. Bai is back!"
However, he quickly abandoned the idea of reporting.
"Forget it, Mr. Bai will definitely see Mr. Gao, no need for to say anything."
...
Bai Xiaosheng and his companions walked inside, noticing that there weren’t many people in the lobby, quite different from the bustling scene they rembered.
The three of them took an empty elevator going up.
"There aren’t as many people in the lobby today, and the security guard at the entrance ntioned a leader visiting, plus the security departnt manager was dressed so formally, who could be coming?" Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but wonder.
"It’s definitely not Mr. Ji; for other leaders, there’s no need to be so stiffly formal. Could it be soone from our group?" Lei Ying looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "Given it’s the internal reform period, only a direct supervisor visiting inspection would cause such a fuss, right?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
It didn’t matter who was coming; they weren’t there to et them.
Today, they were here simply to visit friends.
As they spoke, the elevator arrived.
The first place Bai Xiaosheng chose to go was not directly to Gao Dazhi’s office, but to the New dia Departnt.
Back then, Bai Xiaosheng led this departnt to defeat his co-vice president, Chen Changqing.
As the elevator doors opened, just as Bai Xiaosheng and his friends were about to step out, two people waiting outside and chatting happened to look up.
In an instant, they froze, then their eyes filled with disbelief and ecstasy.
"Mr. Bai!" Their eyes lit up instantly, exclaiming with excitent.
Bai Xiaosheng recognized them too, and smiled at once.
What a coincidence!
Those waiting for the elevator were Shi Yu and Luran.
Before Bai Xiaosheng left, one was the director of the New dia Departnt, and the other was the director of the Patent Departnt. Both were old acquaintances, forr subordinates, and old friends of Bai Xiaosheng.
"How have you been? I’ve co to see you." Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he stepped out of the elevator.

...
Ten minutes later, a crowd gathered in the New dia Departnt Director’s office.
Shi Yu, Luran, Zhao Xiaoying, Gao Ya, Wenqing... all friends of Bai Xiaosheng and his companions.
Everyone looked radiant with joy, surrounding Bai Xiaosheng and his friends.
By now, they had all grown considerably, many even taking charge in their own capacities, either as departnt directors or deputy directors.
Shi Yu even served as both director and deputy general manager.
The group huddled around Bai Xiaosheng, chattering away, seemingly with endless things to say.
In the conversation, Bai Xiaosheng learned that an upper-level leader was indeed visiting for inspection today, but more information hadn’t yet trickled down.
Gao Dazhi had already gone to greet the visitor, suggesting their status might be quite significant.
"I brought you guys so snacks, but you’re all dressed so formally, is it convenient?" Lin Weiwei laughed.
Everyone was dressed formally, either in suits and ties or little suits and pencil skirts, making the sight of such well-compensated professionals munching on small snacks unexpectedly codic.
"Of course, thank you, Sister Lin!"
"If Sister Lin treats, even gaining weight is worth it for an extra bite."
