Gu Industries Headquarters. In the office of the CEO. The next day at 10 a.m.
Gu Zhangchen was sitting in the office of the CEO, looking at documents. He had come to the headquarters of Gu Industries early in the morning without informing anyone.
In front of him stood two people. One of them was his personal assistant, Lin Yao. The other was the assistant of his father when he was the CEO. The assistant's name was Yu Chen.
Yu Chen had been working as Gu Changsheng's assistant for the entire duration of his time as CEO. In fact, Yu Chen had even worked as Gu Fengzhou's assistant for a brief period before Gu Fengzhou retired. So, Yu Chen was a very trustworthy and loyal person.
That's why Gu Zhangchen did not fire him. Both Yu Chen and Lin Yao would work as his personal assistants. Gu Zhangchen decided that Yu Chen would handle Gu Industries matters and Lin Yao would handle his personal matters.
Putting the document aside, Gu Zhangchen looked at Yu Chen and said, "Mr. Yu, I think everyone should have arrived at the company by now."
Hearing that, Yu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, sir. Every employee comes to the company by 10 a.m., so everyone, including the executives, should have already arrived. They are probably at the entrance of the building, waiting for you to come so that they can greet you."
Hearing that, Gu Zhangchen nodded and said, "Good. Tell them that I am already here and there's no need to greet me. Call all the executives to the meeting room."
Hearing the instructions, Yu Chen nodded and went out of the room to do as he was told.
The executives were those that were each in charge of a department. Gu Industries, like Blackheart Investments, had a total of ten departments. However, the structure of the company was different from Gu Zhangchen's Blackheart Investments.
Gu Industries was a very big company, with branches in multiple places, and the headquarters was the main branch. Each branch also had ten departments. Each department, no matter which branch, had a manager that worked as the head of the department, and all the managers of all the branches answered to the executives. The executives answered to the CEO.
After about 10 minutes, Gu Zhangchen came to the meeting room. All the executives were already inside.
Seeing Gu Zhangchen enter the room, the executives stood up and greeted him.
Gu Zhangchen sat at the head of the table and nodded back in greeting. He then said, "No need to introduce yourselves. I already know about all of you. I am sure all of you already know who I am. So let's start the meeting."
Every executive nodded. Seeing everyone nod, Gu Zhangchen continued, "Good. In this meeting, we will discuss the future ventures of the company. I also want a detailed report from each department. However, first we have to do something."
Saying that, Gu Zhangchen turned towards Lin Yao and said, "Pass the files and the pen drives to everyone."
Lin Yao nodded and did as he was told.
After Lin Yao finished giving everyone the files and the pen drives, Gu Zhangchen continued, "These files have names of employees written on them. These employees are traitors and have betrayed the company in various ways. The pen drives have proof of their crimes. Fire them and take legal action against them."
Hearing that, every executive was shocked. They looked at each other with widened eyes, unsure about how to take this information.
Gu Zhangchen, of course, knew about these people because of the knowledge from the novel. However, unlike before, he didn't ask the traitors to come before him.
Over the past two months, Gu Zhangchen had gathered proof of the crimes committed by these people. So he saw no reason to go out of his way and tell them they were fired. Instead, he chose a quicker way and instructed others to do so.
Seeing nobody talk, Gu Zhangchen asked in a serious voice, "Do you all understand, or do I have to repeat myself?"
Hearing that, all the executives came out of their shock and hurriedly nodded. The executives were all experienced people.
Though they were shocked hearing that heir were traitors and confused about how Gu Zhangchen found out about the traitors, they didn't ask any questions.
Seeing them nod, Gu Zhangchen said, "Good. Now, let's start the meeting. We will start with the Finance Department."

After 6 hours.
Gu Zhangchen entered the office of the CEO and sat on his chair. Yu Chen and Lin Yao followed behind him.
For the past 6 hours, he had been in the meeting with the executives and had been instructing them about what to do in the future.
Sitting behind his desk, Gu Zhangchen let out an annoyed sigh and thought,
"Damn, I still don't like this. Sitting in one place, reading reports, listening to people give reports — everything is just so fucking boring that it's tiresome."
After that, he looked at Yu Chen and Lin Yao and said, "I will be leaving now. You guys finish your work and leave too."
Hearing that, both of them nodded.
Gu Zhangchen got up and left the office, intending to go to the garage.
In the garage, Gu Zhangchen got in his car and said to his driver, "Head to Serenity Park."
The driver nodded and started the car.
---
After arriving at the park, Gu Zhangchen got out of the car and started walking around. After a few minutes, he stopped walking and sat on a bench.
Of course, Gu Zhangchen did not come here to relax or take a walk. He had a special reason for coming here.
It had been two days since the plot started, and the protagonist, Xiao Yan, had come to the city.
Today, the protagonist, Xiao Yan, would come to the park to take a walk. While walking around, Xiao Yan would have his first big opportunity since coming to the city.
That's why Gu Zhangchen came to the park. The opportunity would be around the bench he was sitting on.
Sitting on the bench, Gu Zhangchen looked around, waiting for the opportunity. After a while, he saw a small crowd near him and smiled. The opportunity had arrived.
Gu Zhangchen got up from the bench and started walking toward the crowd of people, ready to take another one of the protagonist's opportunities.

That's it for this chapter.
See if you can guess what the opportunity is and comment your guess. I think you guys should know what the opportunity is since it's pretty cliche.
Anyway, Hope you liked the chapter. If you see any mistakes, tell me in the comments.
See you on the next one. Bye.
