When Song Shu arrived at the door of the general manager's office on the 22nd floor, he saw several people from the assistant secretary team standing outside the door, carefully listening to the noise inside.
Song Shu felt that it was unnecessary for them to do this, and they could just go back to the team office next door and wait - after all, the general manager's office was still several meters away from the door and wall, and Song Shu could clearly hear Qin Lou's roar coming from inside.
Xu Jiajia was the one standing at the outermost edge. When her ears felt a little painful from the vibration, she turned her head and found a new face coming up from a few meters away.
After looking for a long time and failing to figure out which department this unlucky executive belonged to, Xu Jiajia walked up to the list while flipping through the still-warm list in her hand and asked, "Which department are you from? Which report are you responsible for?"
Song Shu said, "Legal and Compliance Department."
"From the Legal Department? No, that's not right. Deputy Director Xu of the Legal Department has already gone in, and there's no one else..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
After a few seconds of dead silence, Xu Jiajia raised her head suddenly, so sharply that Song Shu was stunned.
"Are you Qin Qing from the Legal Department?"
"Yes. I suddenly received a notification from the 22nd floor in the department. It didn't explain the reason, but just asked me to come up as well."
"The reason... well, haha," Xu Jiajia laughed dryly. "Let's wait for our general manager to talk to you in person about the reason."
"Okay." Song Shu didn't intend to embarrass the girl in front of her. She pointed to the office door and said, "Then should I go in now?"
"you… "
As soon as Xu Jiajia uttered the first word, she heard a crisp "click" sound from inside, and at the same time, Qin Lou's voice came out, shaking the air so much that it almost trembled -
"Your Finance Department is not at fault?! Do you know how many times the Investment Decision Committee has come to me to complain? The financial investigations of several projects were all stuck with you and the negotiations on the relevant terms were all shelved! If you can't even do this, what are you doing? You still have the nerve to tell me that you are not at fault!?"
“… … ”
There was a tacit silence inside and outside the office.
A few seconds later, the group of assistant secretaries waiting outside the door exchanged glances, and Xu Jiajia also walked over quickly.
"Let Qin Qing in?"
"There's no reason. You have to find a reason to push people in."
"Isn't this what President Qin asked for?"
"But he has only been in the company for two weeks and has done nothing. Why should he be invited to attend the training? If it were me, I would definitely not do it without a valid reason."
"Besides, at this moment, the big devil is at his rage peak. Who will be responsible for passing on the message?"
"Too… "
Several people looked at each other and retreated.
Song Shu could only wait here with them.
After that, the office fell silent. After another twenty or thirty seconds, a low, angry question was heard:
"What about the secretarial team?"
“…!”
The assistant secretaries who were originally acting furtively outside the door immediately straightened their expressions, and the one closest to the front pushed open the office door resignedly.
"Boss Qin."
"Qin Qing hasn't come yet?"
“… here it comes.”
Qin Lou raised his eyebrows and glanced over, "Then why don't you ask her to come in?!"
The male assistant asked cautiously: "Boss Qin, should we let her in now?"
"when-"
Qin Lou's voice stopped as his eyes fell on those people who were scolded and looked depressed. He froze for a few seconds, and scanned them all from beginning to end. Then he sneered and threw all the folders in his hands that he had just used to look through the accounts onto the wide desk.
"I don't need you to work overtime. I want to see the finished versions of these documents next Monday morning. If I find any problems with them again, you'd better get out!"
"Yes, Mr. Qin."
Everyone went to pick up their own "pot", each with a worried look on their face: they were told not to work overtime, it was already five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and the latest version would be available early next Monday morning. They would probably have to work overtime all weekend and be busy to death to finish it.
The group of brothers in distress no longer cared about the usual conflicts or grudges in the company, and they all left the general manager's office quickly, shoulder to shoulder, almost holding hands.
When I was leaving, a group of assistant secretaries stood by the door and watched me see him off. More than one meter away from the group of assistant secretaries, there was a stranger who was not too unfamiliar - the senior executives of various departments were all very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and they would find out any movement from above faster than anyone else.
Therefore, everyone in the Legal and Compliance Department knew about this newcomer who seemed to have a close relationship with their CEO Qin in the future.
But at this time, they were all being scolded like grandsons, and they were unable to take care of themselves. Even when passing in front of Song Shu, they still kept their heads down and had sullen faces.
but…
After everyone passed by, Song Shu looked up at their backs sharply - she was very sure that since she came out, there had been a pair of eyes staring at her.
With a wary uneasiness.
"Miss Qin? Miss Qin?"
"Ah, sorry," Song Shu turned around quickly and smiled, "What's wrong?"
"Boss Qin lets you in."
"OK."
With the gazes of several people outside the door, Song Shu entered the empty general manager's office.
When Song Shu walked in, Qin Lou was sitting at his desk with a sullen expression. Even when he heard the door open and Song Shu's footsteps, he didn't even raise his eyes.
He opened a drawer on one side of the desk, and he was taking out small jars and bottles of different colors with various foreign characters printed on them one by one.
Finally, a row of five or six bottles were placed in front of him.
Song Shu initially thought he was playing with something, but when she walked closer to the desk and stopped, she saw what was in the bottle and frowned.
There are five or six bottles in a row, all filled with pills.
Moreover, two of the bottles, one in French and the other in English, were medicines she was familiar with.
Song Shu's fingertips hanging by her side trembled slightly. She had a guess in her mind, but she didn't ask in the end.
After closing the drawer, Qin Lou clasped his fingers together, placed his slender hands with distinct joints on the table, and raised his eyes lazily.
"come over."
There was a rare command in his tone, but it became lighter towards the end - it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the anger he had just felt with those people.
Song Shu was not surprised. Even though Bai Song had a good temper, which was hard to find in the world, Song Shu had heard her lose her temper several times in the one month she managed Qin's head office while she was on the phone or in a video conference in her study at home. It was never an easy position to be a company executive, and the bigger the company and the higher the position, the more this was true.
It was rare for Song Shu to show any resistance. He walked silently around the desk and went to Qin Lou's office chair.
Qin Lou frowned, "Help me pour—"
Before he could finish his words, Song Shu had already taken the first bottle closest to him and unscrewed the cap.
—She knew what he was going to say before he opened his mouth.
Qin Lou felt a lump in his throat, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
After two or three seconds, he lowered his eyes and laughed in a low, hoarse voice with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"What's the point of knowing me any more? You've been gone for so many years without even looking at me."
"… "
The white fingers holding the medicine bottle paused and trembled slightly.
The air was quiet for a long time before Qin Lou heard a voice saying, "I'm sorry."
After hearing this, Qin Lou's heart trembled first - he didn't want to say that, although he couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he knew that Song Shu had endured much more than him, so much that she had to give up and endure the feelings that were once regarded as the heaviest bond between them, and would rather change her name and change her resume and identity with no flaws to come back - and Qin Lou didn't even dare to think about what terrible reason made that resume so suitable.
It was as if this person had actually died once, and then crawled back up little by little from hell.
She climbed for nine years.
There was nothing but blood, nothing but pain, nothing but hatred on the way here - Qin Lou probably really blamed himself, and probably really blamed himself for why he had no idea about it all these years and was not by her side when she needed him the most and was most desperate.
It was he who said he would be with her and protect her, but he didn't do it.
Qin Lou's hands on the table were suddenly covered by soft warmth.
Qin Lou was startled and came back to his senses.
It turned out that his hands had been clenched tightly without him knowing when, and the light blue veins on the back of his cold white hands bulged, as if they were about to burst out at any time along with the emotions of their owner.
And Song Shu placed her hand on his soothingly.
"We are not wrong, Qin Lou."
They are never the ones who are wrong.
Just like it should never have been Bai Song who was supposed to die in that cold cage.
Song Shu poured out the pills according to the usage and dosage, put them into their respective bottle caps, and placed them in front of Qin Lou one by one.
"I'll help you get some water."
"Need not."
"?"
When Song Shu looked back blankly, he saw Qin Lou pick up the nearest bottle cap and pour the white pills inside directly into his mouth.
His eyes were gloomy, and the cheekbones on his thin face moved slightly. The white pills made a sound of crushing into pieces when he chewed them.
Even when taking medicine, he does it with his crazy energy.
Song Shu lowered his eyes helplessly and turned back.
“Is it bitter?”
"..." Qin Lou raised his eyelids lazily, expressionless and listless, "It's so miserable."
"What medicine is it?"
"You ask even though you know the answer."
"… "
Song Shu sighed softly.
The next second, she suddenly leaned over, pressed the man who was sitting upright into the office chair, and she lowered her head to kiss his lips.
She hooked back some crumbs of the pill.
Song Shu's pretty face, which showed no emotion, wrinkled his thin eyebrows slightly.
“It’s really bitter.”
Qin Lou came back to his senses, and the madness that was suppressed in his eyes was suddenly aroused.
He leaned forward and pushed the man against the desk.
After two seconds of silence, Qin Lou lowered his eyes and smiled, looking irritable and gloomy—
"I'm going to call her name later, and you have to call me the same way."
"How did she... call you?"
"baby."
"… roll."
The author has something to say: Qin Lou: As long as I am shameless, there is no script in this world that I cannot perform.
