Chapter 21

Song Shu's figure suddenly stopped.

At that moment, she almost subconsciously touched her left wrist, but it was empty, with nothing there - to avoid trouble, she always took off the small shell bracelet before coming to work at VIO.

By the time she realized her reaction, it was too late to remedy the situation.

Song Shu suppressed his emotions, turned around, and showed a little confusion on his face: "Boss Qin, did you call me just now? Sorry, I didn't hear it clearly."

Qin Lou didn't say anything.

He stared at her without blinking, his eyes gloomy and full of sorrow. His sight traced every inch of her features bit by bit, as if only now did he really want to see the woman in front of him clearly.

There was silence for more than ten seconds in the cafeteria. The Legal and Compliance Department was closest to them and was so embarrassed that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet. Finally, Yao Yiqun, as a senior in the department, stood up.

"Boss Qin, what did you just do...?"

He measured every tone of voice very carefully, fearing that he might fail to resolve the situation and end up getting himself involved.

Qin Lou finally seemed to come back to his senses with the intervention of this third person's voice.

He did not look back, but just looked at the woman who was standing not far from him and whose smile was calm and indifferent at this moment, then Qin Lou slowly grinned.

"Little clam shell." He stared at Song Shu and repeated it again, his eyes dark and deep.

Then the next second, Qin Lou's eyes suddenly turned behind him, and he looked up at the cafeteria window, "—I'm asking if this dish is available for lunch today?"

The chef who was watching the excitement from the window just a second ago found that the battle spread to him the next second. He stood up in bewilderment and innocence: "Boss Qin, are you talking about stir-fried clam meat or something like that?"

Qin Lou smiled, gloomily, with an inexplicable greed and uncontrollable desire.

“I want to try every way of eating it.”

When everyone in the cafeteria was confused, Qin Lou turned around.

The woman who was originally standing a few meters behind him had disappeared. At some point, she ran out of his sight at the fastest speed.

Grow your legs, little clam.

Qin Lou picked up Song Shu's plate on the table and walked slowly to the stainless steel barrel in the cafeteria that held kitchen waste.

He thought his expression at this moment must be somewhat horrifying, just like an addict who smells the scent of his addiction again after countless days.

Now Vio is his territory, and he is no longer the crazy and useless kid. He can do anything with his property, the things he wants most, in his territory.

It was like he could no longer contain the images playing out in his mind.

“Crash.”

Food waste is poured directly into the bucket.

Qin Lou turned to the left, took two steps forward and put down the plate.

He lowered his eyes and smiled silently.

But there is no rush, there are too many old scores to be settled, and this time, we finally have a lot of time... Little clam shell.

Qin Lou turned and left.

Only when his back disappeared outside the cafeteria did the employees' discussions finally pick up again.

"So, what exactly is Mr. Qin here for?"

"I'm definitely not here to eat."

"From the results, he only took out the kitchen waste for the new employee once."

“…Is this some kind of new employee benefit?”

"You're overthinking it. If everyone had such a touching new employee benefit on their first day of work, I would have—"

"How was it then?"

"Then I might have been scared out of my wits by President Qin and left."

"Hahahaha, can you be a little more promising? Look at the new guy in the legal department. He's completely different from you. He's so calm!"

"It's really strange. What is her relationship with Mr. Qin? If there really is an ambiguous relationship, then we shouldn't have never heard of her or even seen her, right?"

"Who knows? I'll ask my friends in the legal department tonight. I'm really curious..."

Song Shu looked normal the whole afternoon as she sat in her cubicle, looking through legal documents and materials. No matter how her colleagues passing by looked at her, she remained unmoved.

This situation lasted for the entire afternoon, and after not obtaining any new information worth gossiping about, everyone's curiosity was slightly suppressed.

It was time to get off work in the evening, and Yao Yiqin walked to Song Shu's cubicle desk. After stopping, she stood there for a few seconds with mixed feelings before she shouted.

"Qin Qing, you're not off work yet?"

Song Shu paused for a few seconds before looking up and smiling, "Sister Qin, please go first. I haven't finished reading these materials yet. I will leave work after I finish this part."

Yao Yiqin nodded and said, "Vio and the predecessor of the group have a long history, so it is normal to have more documents. But don't tire yourself out..."

"The predecessor of the group? Is VIO a transformation company? That shouldn't be the case. I have heard of VIO's reputation in the venture capital industry since I was a student a few years ago."

Yao Yiqin didn't notice anything unusual and patiently explained: "Vio was formerly the Qin Group. At that time, a branch of Qin was involved in a Ponzi scheme involving a large amount of money and a wide range of people because of the involvement of senior executives of the head office, and suffered a great loss. The helmsman of Qin was Mr. Qin Liang. At that time, he chose to make up for the losses that were not caused by Qin, and then appointed his inexperienced grandson Qin Lou to inject new ideas into the company and start the transformation. Therefore, the system of Vio to this day was indeed transformed and established by Mr. Qin seven or eight years ago. Mr. Qin has made great contributions to its place in the international venture capital industry today."

Yao Yiqin finished what she said, and then added a little embarrassedly: "Did I talk too much?"

"Of course not." Song Shu suddenly came back to his senses, and the deep and complicated emotions in his eyes were covered by a light smile. "Who wouldn't want to hear such a legendary business story? What's more, the protagonist is a young and promising company leader."

Yao Yiqin nodded, a smile on her face, "Indeed. Every time I talk about those years with newcomers who have not experienced the initial difficult period of transformation, we can't help but talk a lot - at that time, Mr. Qin was extremely suspicious and distrusted by other senior executives of the board of directors. He successfully predicted the trend of market interest rates and led an immature team to complete several legendary hedge transactions in the industry... These things always make me, a senior company employee, excited."

Song Shu lowered his eyes slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, she smiled. "Over the years, Mr. Qin has always been an excellent person."

"Ah?" Yao Yiqun didn't come back to her senses.

Song Shu looked up and added with a smile: "I just feel lucky to have such a young leader who I can trust and follow."

Yao Yiqun wanted to nod when she heard this, but she paused before moving, looking hesitant.

Song Shu said, "Sister Qin, you are my senior and someone who carefully helped me adapt to the job. If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"... Qin Qing, don't blame me for being nosy. It's just that this question really gave me a headache. My colleagues are also curious. Have you and Mr. Qin known each other for a long time?"

Song Shu did not answer directly. She smiled and said, "You should have seen my resume. I have been studying abroad for many years. After graduation, I entered a local law firm for internship and never returned to China. I really have no intersection with President Qin... Moreover, if there is really such a background as Vio Capital, then why did I return to China and come here this year?"

"That's true. Haha, you should laugh at me. I'm still gossiping like a youngster at this age."

"It's nothing, it's human nature. And now that we know each other, it will be easier for us to work together in the future."

"Haha, okay, then you continue to be busy. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going to pick up the kids after get off work."

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Qin."

After watching Yao Yiqun leave, Song Shu turned around and immersed herself in the files in front of her again.

After reading all the documents, Song Shu came back to his senses. He rubbed his stiff neck and raised his head, only to find that the digital clock on the table showed that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

The corporate culture of vio capital emphasizes efficiency. There are no rigid requirements for employees to work overtime, nor are there implicit requirements to deliberately increase the workload that cannot be afforded by working hours. Therefore, by this time, even if there were employees in the legal and compliance department who were willing to work overtime, they had already left.

Song Shu was the only one left on the huge floor.

Song Shu closed the last file in front of him, smiled bitterly, and stood up to stretch his sore waist and legs.

Just halfway through, her cell phone rang.

Song Shu picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Yu Qisheng.

Song Shu picked up the phone:

"Mr. Yu?"

"You haven't finished get off work yet?"

"..." Song Shu glanced at the dark night outside the window and smiled, "Nothing can be hidden from President Yu."

"Don't I know your temper? Come on down. I'm downstairs at your company. I'll pick you up for dinner and then take you home."

Song Shu was stunned, "How can I be so embarrassed..."

"You and my... family are so close, do we still need to be so polite? I've already booked a place, it's a private chef restaurant, the food is good, I'll take you to try it."

“…Okay, thank you Mr. Yu, I’ll go downstairs right away.”

"I'll pick you up."

"Need not-"

"It's not gentlemanly for a girl like you to go downstairs by yourself at this late hour. Wait for me in the elevator."

Song Shu sighed silently, but the smile in his voice remained unchanged, "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

"… "

After hanging up the phone, Song Shu packed up his things and walked towards the elevator with his backpack.

The elevator room was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Song Shu's steps paused the first second he entered.

Qin Lou didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the wall next to the staircase.
