Luan Qiaoqing glared at the two people in the office with an ugly expression, and the words "You two bastards" were almost carved on her face.
She stood there gritting her teeth for four or five seconds, and the office was dead silent for four or five seconds. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore in the face of Qin Lou's gradually gloomy eyes, and she shook her hands fiercely.
The pen slammed against the desk with a thud, venting its owner's anger at the cost of the pen cap flying off.
"I left my stamp at home and didn't bring it with me today."
Qin Lou looked at her for two seconds, then turned to Song Shu, "Then go to the 22nd floor. I'll approve it for you."
"..." Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth in anger.
Song Shu's eyes moved slightly. She had already recovered from the surprise of Qin Lou's entry. She smiled apologetically and said, "Don't bother Mr. Qin. The review is not urgent. I will come to see Minister Luan tomorrow at noon."
Luan Qiaoqing was about to refuse, but then she seemed to think of something. After thinking for a few seconds, she finally turned her head away in hatred without saying anything.
"Minister Luan, are you free tomorrow morning?"
Luan Qiaoqing glared at her and said, "Come here, I'll approve it for you." She uttered each word with gritted teeth, and it sounded like she wanted to pounce on Song Shu and bite him.
Song Shu smiled, "Thank you, Minister Luan. I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Song Shu nodded to the two "leaders" and turned to walk out of the office.
Qin Lou didn't even think about it and just followed him.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Song Shu felt helpless, but the smile on his face did not change at all.
She just pretended not to notice, and after walking out of the office, she said to Lisa, who had not yet recovered from her shock, "It seems that it has been solved. Thank you for accompanying me. Shall we go back upstairs?"
"Oh... Oh, okay."
Lisa came back to her senses and looked up to see Qin Lou walking out from behind Song Shu. Qin Lou's eyes were staring at Song Shu without any concealment, and from the level of his concentration, it seemed as if he was afraid that the person would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Lisa was in a very complicated mood and forced a smile, "Then let's go... let's go."
"Um."
"Goodbye, Mr. Qin." Lisa added carefully, and then walked towards the elevator outside the floor with Song Shu.
As soon as they moved, Qin Lou, who was standing idly, followed them.
Few people on the floor dared to look openly, but furtive, curious, or inquiring eyes never left Song Shu.
Song Shu sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, once he was sure, Qin Lou would focus all his attention on her. But if he continued like this, with that person's brain, he would definitely get himself into trouble one day.
Song Shu had been in this for nine years, so she knew it very well - this was a quagmire connected to an abyss, in the abyss were countless mouths ready to eat people, and once one fell into the quagmire, there was no possibility of getting out.
She and Yu Qisheng had no choice. But Qin Lou and Luan Qiaoqing should not and could not be involved.
I don’t know if the method I discussed with Yu Qisheng will work…
While Song Shu was whispering to Lisa about the details of the due diligence on the project at hand, he gently pressed a speed dial button on the screen of his mobile phone in his pocket.
A few dozen seconds later, three people walked into the elevator one after the other.
When Lisa went to press the elevator button, she turned around and asked carefully, "Boss Qin, are you going to the 22nd floor?"
Qin Lou thought about it, and moved his leather shoes forward on the smooth white tile floor. The curved toe of his shoe touched Song Shu's high heels.
Song Shu paused and looked back, "...Boss Qin?"
Qin Lou asked: "Which floor do you think I should go to?"
Song Shu: “…”
Lisa: “… ?”
Fortunately, before Song Shu had to answer the question, her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.
Song Shu turned around, took out his cell phone, answered the call, and put it to his ear.
"mom?"
Lisa didn't react yet, but Qin Lou's figure suddenly shook. Two or three seconds later, his eyes became violent, and he turned his head and stared at Song Shu's phone.
Lisa noticed the strange atmosphere and didn't dare to speak. Song Shu seemed to be unaware of Qin Lou's changes. The voice on the phone was faintly heard, a gentle middle-aged female voice.
"Nannan, your father and I are worried about you. Tell me, why do you want to work for such a big company? Isn't it better to stay peacefully in Qisheng Law Firm?"
Song Shu lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly. The warmth in his eyes did not seem fake at all, but was filled with real longing and lingering feelings.
"Didn't I tell you before that the working environment of Vio is more open? How about you and my dad? Are you used to the climate and culture of the mainland?"
"I'm used to it. The neighbors here are very friendly. This morning I went to practice Tai Chi with the old lady next door."
"That's good."
"Are you going to work? Then mom won't bother you. Do you have time this weekend? If you do, call Qisheng and go home for dinner together."
"It depends on the job. I'll tell you when the time comes, okay?"
"Okay, go to work and don't worry about home. Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Well, bye, mom."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, the elevator had missed at least two departures. Song Shu put away his phone and said to Lisa apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother just returned to China, and I was afraid that she might not be able to adapt, so I chatted a little longer."
"It's okay... It's okay, it's okay." Lisa said while winking at Song Shu, her eyes almost twitching.
Song Shu could feel it without Lisa saying anything - it was as if there was an artificial refrigerator in the elevator, whizzing behind him with icy eyes and cold air.
Song Shu turned around and smiled gently and brightly, "Boss Qin, why haven't you come upstairs yet? Oh, sorry, am I blocking you? I'll press the elevator for you."
Qin Lou's eyes were deep and his brows were furrowed.
The first elevator arrived. Song Shu waited for Qin Lou to enter first, then pulled Lisa, who was hesitating. Looking at the man who turned around and was still frowning in the elevator, Song Shu nodded.
"Boss Qin, you are busy, please go upstairs first. We will wait for the next part."
"… "
Qin Lou actually didn't say a word.
But until the moment the elevator closed, his gloomy eyes were fixed on Song Shu.
After the elevator successfully went up, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, covering her chest with her face pale.
"Oh my god, I thought I was going to be scared to death in the HR department today. Isn't President Qin too scary?"
Song Shu nodded in agreement. Lisa had no time to pay attention to this side. Song Shu's expression had become much calmer.
"really."
"You also felt that Mr. Qin's mood suddenly changed just now, right? A change of attitude is like a change of the world!"
"Yeah. That's hard work."
"Huh? What's so hard about that?" Lisa was complaining to herself, but turned around after hearing this.
Then the woman smiled faintly, and the exquisite beauty of her facial features that could not be suppressed by the black-framed glasses was fully displayed in this smile.
"I think of a little kid my family used to take care of."
"…Huh?" Lisa was even more confused, "What does a kid have to do with hard work?"
"Children are too smart and will touch dangerous things. The only way to divert their attention from dangerous people and things is to constantly give them new toys that confuse them."
Lisa seemed to understand what he said, but finally nodded with difficulty, "What you said seems to make sense... The elevator is here, shall we go up?"
"Um."
Song Shu unconsciously tapped the back of the phone in his pocket. The faint smile in his dark pupils faded away, leaving only emotionless thoughts.
Hopefully, this two-pronged approach will work on both sides.
By the next morning, the conversations between Song Shu, Qin Lou and Luan Qiaoqing in the HR director's office had already spread privately in the company.
The intensity of the dispute and dialogue was exaggerated by the unremitting efforts of two gossipmongers, giving the effect of a war.
In the morning, when Song Shu went to the Personnel Department to get the review instructions from the archives room, he clearly felt that the gazes cast on him were much more complicated.
Without giving it much thought, she walked to Luan Qiaoqing's office door with ease and knocked on the glass door.
“…Come in.” Luan Qiaoqing’s voice came from inside, clearly suppressing her anger.
I'm still angry after a whole night. Qiaoqiao's temper is really harmful to her health. Song Shu thought about this as he pushed the door open and walked into the office.
Before he could stop, he was met with Luan Qiaoqing's undisguised hostile gaze.
"I'm telling you, Qin Qing, don't think that my brother is crazy and was fooled by your face. You can do whatever you want in this company. As long as I'm here, you can't get anything from vio—"
"I've reviewed the instructions. Has Minister Luan stamped them?" Song Shu interrupted Luan Qiaoqing, the smile on his face so faint that it seemed like it could disappear at any time.
Luan Qiaoqing was stunned. She was obviously not used to the mood changes of the woman in front of her. Before today, she had always been respectful to her.
Coming back to her senses, Luan Qiaoqing sneered, "You think you have firmly established yourself as the boss lady, so you don't need to be polite to me, right?"
"If Minister Luan doesn't give it to me, I'll go to the 22nd floor and ask for it from President Qin. It'll be the same."
"You threaten me?"
"It's up to Minister Luan to interpret it however he wants."
"..." Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth in anger, pulled out a certificate of access from the folder beside her, and slammed it on the table, "Take it!"
Song Shu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled up a corner, but the paper was held down.
Luan Qiaoqing sat on the custom-made high-back leather chair and looked at Song Shu with her eyelids raised. "From today on, you'd better be careful and behave yourself in the company. Don't show any signs of betrayal. Otherwise, I will definitely have you convicted of industrial espionage."
"… "
The office was silent for a few seconds. When Luan Qiaoqing thought that the other party had been intimidated by her, she heard the woman standing outside the desk opposite her chuckle.
Song Shu's cold face curled her red lips, and she slowly raised her eyes, "Minister Luan, do you think that in terms of your familiarity with and application of legal provisions, you can challenge me, who is a graduate of a professional school?"
Luan Qiaoqing's smile turned cold and she could hardly suppress her anger.
Song Shu didn't give her a chance to interrupt, his eyes fixed on Luan Qiaoqing's face, "Minister Luan can sit in this position today, I'm afraid President Qin has worked hard."
"!"
This sentence completely blew up Luan Qiaoqing's sore spot. She immediately slammed the table and stood up, "What qualifications do you have to mention me and my brother—"
Before she could finish her words, Luan Qiaoqing suddenly choked up.
While she was slamming the table in anger, the woman outside the desk had easily taken away the certificate that she had been holding in her hand.
The thin paper shook, and the woman curled her red lips and smiled gently, "Thank you, Minister Luan."
"you… "
Luan Qiaoqing was furious. How could she not understand at this moment? This woman clearly wanted to irritate her so that she could get the certificate!
Unfortunately, Song Shu did not give Luan Qiaoqing a chance to come back to her senses and then get angry. She waved her hand, said "Goodbye, Minister Luan", and her figure disappeared outside the glass door.
Luan Qiaoqing slumped down on the chair, angry as a puffer fish.
After getting the access certificate, Song Shu returned to the 12th floor, took the drink he had prepared in advance from the warming area, and went directly to the archive room on the 7th floor.
The people in the archives room had also heard about the dispute yesterday over a retrieval certificate, and were not surprised by Song Shu's arrival.
Now we know that Song Shu is most likely backed by Qin Lou. No matter what they say behind her back, at least they are very polite to her on the surface.
"You must be Miss Qin. I heard you'll be here this afternoon. This is your first time here, so there are some things I need to explain to you. The rule in the archives room is that no communication equipment or filming equipment can be brought in, so I'd like to trouble you to put your cell phone and other things in this box. I hope you understand."
Song Shu nodded and smiled gently, "Of course, I can understand." After that, she put her mobile phone and other items into the storage box, and watched the other party put the box aside and locked it.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The other party turned around and said, "Ms. Qin, you can go in now—but you can't bring drinks in."
Song Shu raised the drink he brought down from the 12th floor and handed it to the other party with a smile: "This is for you."
"Huh?" The person on duty in the archives room was stunned for a moment and looked up at Song Shu in confusion.
Song Shu looked apologetic and explained, "I need a lot of materials and cases this time, so it will take a long time. I know that according to the regulations, you have to stand with me. I feel really bad about it, so I brought you a drink. There is a new store opposite the company, and the food is very good. Would you like to try it?"
“I know that store. The things there are very expensive, right? This is so embarrassing…” After refusing for a few times, the man finally took the offer with a smile.
"But I heard from the clerk that this thing will be a bit fishy when it cools down. You should drink it while it's hot, right?"
"Okay, thank you then."
Song Shu successfully entered the archive room.
The habit of storing legal documents in paper form has been passed down from the Qin Group. There are many old papers in the archives room, and you can smell a faint scent of books as soon as you enter.
Song Shu found the case he needed along the file shelf, opened it and began to compare and read it diligently.
The archive staff in charge of supervision initially stood by and when he noticed that the newcomer was reading book after book with such a fast pace that it seemed as if his high heels would last forever and he was reading intently, he finally couldn't stand the bladder torture brought by the drink and quietly left for the bathroom.
After the man's figure disappeared, Song Shu immediately put the file in his hand back - in order to prevent the loss of files due to fire, the wiring here is extremely simplified, and there is only one surveillance camera outside the door.
When there is no human surveillance, it is her chance to fulfill the real purpose of this trip—
She was taking a two-pronged approach, but her goal was to kill three birds with one stone.
Song Shu did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the archive shelf containing the old personnel appointment and transfer records that he had pretended to walk past and confirmed before.
After extracting the files for the year he needed, Song Shu quickly flipped through them, trying to memorize the required information as much as possible in his mind.
Just as she was concentrating and doing her best, the door of the archive room behind her was suddenly pushed open with a click.
Song Shu, who was hiding in the inner row, paused slightly and subconsciously looked down at her watch - she had specifically calculated the distance and time required from the restroom to the door of the archive room. It didn't make sense for that person to turn back so quickly!
The footsteps were coming in, and Song Shu didn't have time to think about it. He quickly hid the file behind him.
Then she looked up. "You—"
The voice stopped abruptly.
The person who appeared at the end of the file shelf was none other than Qin Lou.
He stopped, tilted his head, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Miss Qin, what are you hiding behind you?"
The author has something to say: Qin Lou: The way to deal with all the "new toys" is to hold on to the little clam shell tightly and never let go (
Ah, it's too late again. The plot is longer than expected and I can't catch it orz
