The Madman and The Doll

Chapter 30

Views:

The script Qin Lou had added for himself didn't last long - the documents and reports that needed to be processed had already filled up his expensive wooden desk that he had bought from a European forest farm. The assistant secretary team outside the office had the lights on and the coffee machine hadn't even been turned off, and they were obviously ready to work with the general manager all night.

Song Shu also urged him to start his own business.

"I don't want to do it." Someone struggled to death, holding Song Shu standing in front of the table and not letting go. "It's too difficult."

If the senior executives of various departments who had been scolded before saw this look, they would probably suspect that their brains or eyes had been damaged by their Boss Qin's scolding.

But Song Shu obviously didn't buy it.

—When I was in high school, there was a naughty genius student who always got full marks in math. He had the ability to easily trick the math teacher, but every time he encountered a pile of math papers assigned, he would always play tricks on her.

As for the reason for playing tricks...

"Go ahead."

There would be no surveillance in the general manager's office of Qinlou, and no one else was there. Song Shu was no longer trying to hide it. When she said this, her eyes drooped slightly, and her delicate features hidden under the black-framed glasses showed a bit of indifference.

Just looking inside along those dark eyes, one could still see a bit of the helplessness that only appeared when facing Qin Lou.

"What do you want?"

Hearing Song Shu's words, Qin Lou raised his head in triumph, his expression still that perverse and lazy: "Remove my cell phone number and the landline number of the general manager's office from your blacklist."

Song Shu took out his phone, operated it in a few seconds, and waved it in front of Qin Lou. "Okay."

"Can I make one more request?"

"you say."

"Work overtime with me."

"… "

Song Shu thought about it.

The information she had obtained through quick memory in the archives room had been copied down by her and sent to Yu Qisheng. Before comparing and screening the information she had obtained there, she should not act rashly.

Thinking of this, Song Shu nodded, "Okay. But I've already finished my work for this week, and there's nothing for me to do if I stay here with you."

Qin Lou's eyes moved.

Song Shu was slightly alert, "What bad idea are you thinking of?"

"No." Qin Lou denied it flatly and pressed the hands-free and speed dial buttons on the desk phone at the same time.

The other side connected almost instantly—

"Boss Qin!"

"Pick out someone who is free to come in."

"Are you free?" The person who answered the phone in the assistant secretary team almost blurted out "Who among us is free?", but his instinct for survival made him take back the words in time.

After hearing the other party wasted a few seconds on the phone, Qin Lou became impatient and asked, "Is there no one left in your group?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Qin, can you take a look at Xu Jiajia?"

"Anyone."

"Okay, she's going in now."

"… "

Ten seconds later, the youngest girl in the assistant secretary team knocked on the door of the general manager's office pitifully.

"Come in." Qin Lou said.

Song Shu had already consciously walked around to the other side of the desk by now, and ignored the dissatisfied look that someone was giving him.

Xu Jiajia came in with small steps, almost moving her hands and feet at the same time - she went in and out of the general manager's office more often that day than in the whole year since she started working there. No wonder she was so uneasy.

"Boss Qin, do you have any instructions?"

Qin Lou raised his fingers that were resting on the desk and gestured to Song Shu, "Take a new person with you."

"Ah?" Xu Jiajia, the newcomer, looked up blankly.

"You don't need to teach too much. Let's start with the basics." Qin Lou paused, then looked back at Song Shu, who was also a little surprised. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his dark eyes captured Song Shu's figure without blinking. "Tell the rest of the team to cooperate as much as possible if they have time - teach her whatever she wants to learn, and don't keep it to yourself."

Xu Jiajia was stunned for several seconds. When she came to her senses, she looked at Qin Lou in disbelief. Then her eyes suddenly turned red. "Qin, Mr. Qin... did I do something wrong? I can change it. Tell me... I will definitely change it!"

"… "

There was silence in the huge general manager's office.

Dozens of seconds later, looking at the little girl who was already crying, Song Shu cast a suspicious look at Qin Lou.

When their eyes met, Qin Lou understood immediately. His handsome and fair face turned red, and he slammed the table in anger.

"I have nothing to do with her!"

"Oh." Song Shu responded lightly and turned his eyes away.

The desk was hit hard by teammates again. The loud bang brought Xu Jiajia back to her senses from crying so hard that she forgot what she was mumbling.

She looked at Qin Lou with red eyes.

Qin Lou couldn't find any point to attack Song Shu at this moment, so he could only turn his fire and focus angrily: "I just asked you to lead a newcomer, you are wronged, right? Why are you crying? Haven't you worked overtime in VIO for a year?!"

Xu Jiajia sobbed twice in fear before she stuttered, "Boss Qin, aren't you going to fire me?"

Qin Lou gritted his teeth, "When did I say I would fire you?"

"But the assistant secretary team has always had only five or five people. Now that the quota is full, there is only me... My performance is average. Aren't you going to recruit new people and kick me out?"

Qin Lou laughed in anger, "If you say another word of nonsense, I will immediately consider your suggestion."

"… I'm sorry, Mr. Qin! I'll take Miss Qin to get used to the work of the assistant team right now!"

Xu Jiajia finally recovered from the brain disorder caused by the excessive shock of the day and looked at Song Shu for help.

Song Shu glanced helplessly at the person behind the general manager's desk. Seeing that person had calmed down a little, she turned around and said, "Shall we go?"

"Okay, okay, Miss Qin, follow me."

"..." Song Shu accompanied the little girl, whose eyes were still red, out of the office.

Xu Jiajia took Song Shu to the assistant secretary group next door, and introduced and got to know the other four people of different ages and qualifications in the group.

The most senior of these four people has been in the company longer than Qin Lou. He is an old employee who has been working in the company since the Qin Group, the predecessor of Vio, was restructured.

Unlike the other four people including Xu Jiajia, only this person seemed neither humble nor arrogant towards Song Shu. When Song Shu joined the group and was introduced to them by Xu Jiajia, this person was the only one who stopped his work and stood up when Song Shu walked to the desk.

Xu Jiajia looked a little restrained in front of her.

"Sister An, this is Qin Qing, a new employee in the Legal and Compliance Department. President Qin asked us to help her get familiar with the work of the Assistant Secretary Team."

"Ms. Qin, this is the boss of our group."

Song Shu took the initiative to extend his hand, smiling gently and appropriately, "Hello, Sister An."

"My name is An Xingyun," the woman in her forties held Song Shu's hand and nodded slightly, "I've heard of your name. You're as beautiful as the rumors say."

An Xingyun paused, "But if you want to join the assistant secretary team, it's useless to just be pretty."

"… "

As soon as these words were spoken, the assistant group fell silent.

The four people, including Xu Jiajia, looked at An Xingyun awkwardly. Two of the three people who had been introduced were leaning over the same computer discussing the details of a report. Seeing the atmosphere here, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"It's really scary, worthy of being called Sister An. She doesn't tolerate new people's bad habits at all, and doesn't give face to anyone..."

"I heard that Boss Qin treats this substitute very well. I wonder if she will go to Boss Qin to complain about Sister An."

"Sister An can be sued, so her impartiality over the years would have been ruined long ago. Solid strength is the foundation of survival..."

"That's right, now we're going to have a good show."

The eyes of the other people in the group were focused on Song Shu's face, wanting to see how she would react. The two standing together were almost ready to start a temporary small gambling game.

Xu Jiajia was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She looked at this one and then that one. She was stuck between the two of them and didn't know what to say. Her face turned red with anxiety.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Song Shu suddenly smiled, seemingly a little angry.

"Sister An, you must be joking. I don't mean to come in and steal your job, so don't worry too much. It was just a spur-of-the-moment order from President Qin to let me follow the assistant team to get familiar with the work. I had to obey, after all, I am also an ordinary employee of the company."

"Being obedient is a good habit, remember to keep it."

After listening to Song Shu's soft yet firm speech, An Xingyun threw back something and sat back quietly to continue working.

Xu Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly tugged at Song Shu's sleeve, "Miss Qin, let's go over there."

"… good."

Song Shu glanced at An Xingyun coldly, then turned away with some resentment.

She stayed with Song Shu until 9:15 that night, and Xu Jiajia finally taught him all the basic tasks in the assistant group.

While thinking about what else to teach, she clapped her hands and said, "I almost forgot, there is also a basic function."

Song Shu looked back as he reviewed what he had just learned, "Well, what is it?"

"Make some coffee." Xu Jiajia waved at Song Shu, "Come with me."

The 22nd floor is the general manager's exclusive floor. In addition to several large meeting rooms, it houses the general manager's office, the assistant secretary team's office, and a large dedicated lounge.

Xu Jiajia led Song Shu into the tea room next to the lounge and taught Song Shu how to brew tea and coffee step by step. Then after watching Song Shu try it once, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I envy you so much. You learn things so quickly. It took me a long time to learn all the things I taught you tonight when Sister An from the group taught me."

"..." When the woman heard Xu Jiajia mention An Xingyun, her face seemed to darken.

Xu Jiajia noticed and quickly made up for it awkwardly: "Actually, Sister An is a nice person after getting to know her. She's just very businesslike and seems a little hard to get along with at first. Besides, she's really good at her job. She can do the job of four of us alone—"

After saying this, Xu Jiajia felt like she had belittled the other three people again, and became even more anxious, "That's not what I meant. After all, I'm just making up the numbers..."

Song Shu's originally gloomy expression turned into a smile because of her, "You don't have to explain, I understand."

Xu Jiajia lowered her head embarrassedly.

"I'm the dumbest in the group."

"It doesn't matter. We all climbed up step by step..."

Just as Song Shu finished speaking, the door of the tea room was pushed open.

An Xingyun walked in with an expressionless face.

She glanced at Xu Jiajia, who suddenly looked serious, and asked, "How long have you been delayed? Can you hand in the report tonight?"

Xu Jiajia nodded hurriedly, "There's just a little bit of finishing work left. I'll go right away."

"Um."

Xu Jiajia looked worriedly at Song Shu, whose smile had disappeared again, and then left hesitantly.

As soon as Xu Jiajia left, An Xingyun walked to the coffee machine in front of Song Shu with an expressionless face.

She adjusted the switch, then picked up her cup and put it under the interface. During the whole process, she seemed to ignore Song Shu beside her and didn't even glance at him.

Song Shu did not take the initiative to talk to her. She poured out the waste sample in her hand, took a new cup, and tried the method of brewing Ceylon black tea again.

After adding milk and then cinnamon in the middle, An Xingyun's coffee was ready.

“Too much cinnamon.”

An Xingyun's cold voice sounded.

Song Shu stopped holding the seasoning box, and An Xingyun came over and picked up the seasoning box.

She added a spoonful as a demonstration.

A second before he stepped back and left, Song Shu heard a helpless sigh in his ears—

"Didn't I tell you not to take risks by coming in? Why don't you listen?"
