A new week starts with a busy Monday.
The fury that started from the reputation committee in the general manager's office last Friday quickly spread throughout the company over the weekend. The senior executives of various departments who were scolded so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads took out their anger on the department group. All departments reflected comprehensively from top to bottom. Some departments that were particularly criticized even had all their employees submit a summary and reflection report.
In order to avoid being caught as an example next time, all departments rushed to speed up the efficiency of the projects or work at hand. The entire VIO was obviously caught in an extremely tense atmosphere starting from this Monday.
The Legal and Compliance Department is no exception.
Early Monday morning, Song Shu arrived at the office 20 minutes early.
After she sat down, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere on the 12th floor was different from the lazy Monday atmosphere on normal days. A sense of emergency preparedness permeated everyone. The entire cubicle area was filled with the sound of keyboard clacking, and everyone was vying for the first place. It was as if there was a banner hanging above their heads saying that there were only xx days left before the college entrance examination.
Song Shu was a little confused.
When Yao Yiqin passed by her desk on her way to work, Song Shu quickly called her over and said, "Sister Qin, why are you all in such a hurry on Monday morning?"
Yao Yiqin was stunned for a moment, "Hasn't anyone notified you yet?"
"What notification?"
"Oh... I remember now. You were not in the department last Friday night. You went to the 22nd floor. So you were not there when the deputy director came down to mobilize the department and assign tasks."
Song Shu quickly asked, "Is there anything important?"
The day we were going to meet, he sighed and lowered his voice, "The deputy director must have been scolded badly in the general manager's office this time. After returning, he first took a few photocopied reports to arrest the responsible persons. Two girls in the department were scolded and cried. Then he urged the progress of the projects and reports on hand. The whole department was required to shorten the basic time of the original task by 20%, and the completion rate cannot be discounted. They have to check all recent projects one by one, and they must make a good impression on the general manager. The leader also said that if the department does not rank among the top three in the company in the third quarter's performance appraisal, the director and deputy director will take the lead in working overtime."
Song Shu felt a little guilty for some reason. He blinked after listening to her words. "The project I started as an intern last week just ended, and I haven't received any new tasks yet. So what should I do?"
Yao Yiqin asked in surprise: "Didn't the department send you an email notification?"
"No."
Just as Song Shu had finished speaking, Lisa, who was passing by, heard the conversation and leaned over curiously, "You haven't followed up on the new project yet? That shouldn't be the case. The leaders are really determined to improve performance this time. I think the deputy director is eager to bring the aunt who cleans the tea room into his project team."
Song Shu smiled helplessly, "I check my email four times a day, and I really didn't receive any follow-up arrangements for new projects over the weekend."
Lisa guessed: "Could it be that the new employee missed it?"
Yao Yiqin disagreed, "What do you think VIO is? A small workshop on the side of the road? Well, don't bother with Qin Qing. Last Friday, colleagues from the investment development department came to our floor and urged you to get the investment contract for your project team ready. They almost forced you to type it out in front of the computer desk - have you finished your part?"
Lisa stuck out her tongue and quickly slid back to her desk.
Yao Yiqin retracted her gaze and hesitated for a moment. She said to Qin Qing, "This kind of thing should be handled by the leaders. Go ask the minister or deputy minister."
Song Shu thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Yao Yiqin wanted to leave, but after hesitating, she turned back and told Song Shu in a low voice, "Vio is not like those small companies where people just idle around. Everyone wants to have more big projects on hand. The risks are big and the rewards are big. All kinds of performance appraisals depend on the usual work tasks. Don't rely on luck. It won't hurt to be busy in the company."
Song Shu's eyes softened, "I understand. Thank you Sister Qin for your advice."
"You are also my junior, and you are the newcomer assigned by the department for me to guide. This is my job." Yao Yiqin patted Song Shu, "Come on."
"Um."
After Yao Yiqin left, Song Shu collected the materials on the desk. When the director of the Legal and Compliance Department came up to the 12th floor and walked into the director's office, Song Shu waited for two minutes before standing up.
"It's Xiao Qin, come in and sit down." The director saw Song Shu coming in after knocking on the door, and his face was very kind. Without waiting for Song Shu to greet him, he took the initiative to ask with a smile: "You just joined the company a few weeks ago, are you adapting well?"
Song Shu nodded, "I've adapted quite well. My colleagues in the company are very nice and take good care of me. We all get along well."
The minister choked after hearing this.
He had heard a lot of rumors in the company, otherwise he wouldn't be so much more "friendly" to Song Shu than to other employees. Considering those rumors, which were definitely not good, he couldn't tell whether the girl in front of him was being polite or sarcastic.
After a two-second pause, he failed to figure out the true meaning from the little girl's expression, so he just smiled and nodded, "That's good, that's good. So why did you come here?"
Song Shu briefly explained the purpose of his visit.
The minister showed some subtlety on his face. "Oh, so you are here for this matter. You are very motivated. However, I will arrange a work project for you. It is not under the jurisdiction of the department at present."
Song Shu was startled. "Project allocation is not within the department..."
"Don't get me wrong, not everyone is like this. It's just that your case is special." The minister glanced at Song Shu suggestively.
Song Shu had a vague understanding, but in order to avoid being blamed for not explaining it clearly, she could only play dumb. "Minister, what do you mean?"
The minister showed a helpless expression.
"Boss Qin personally sent me an email over the weekend. One of the things in it roughly meant that from now on, your project work will not have to go through the department. You will be directly responsible to the assistant team on the 22nd floor. They will make the dispatch and arrangements for you."
"…" Song Shu thought to himself, "Does that mean I should follow up directly with the general manager's assistant secretary team? What about the work in the department?"
"I don't know the details, and it's hard to decide. But if Boss Qin doesn't let me take care of it, then I can't. Why don't you go to the 22nd floor and ask?"
Song Shu was helpless, "I understand. I'm sorry to bother you at work, Minister. I'll ask later."
The director immediately shook his head. "Hey, Xiao Qin, you are being too polite. Once you enter the department, we are all one family. We share the same honor and disgrace and advance and retreat together. Do you understand?"
"..." Song Shu received the suggestive look from the other party, knowing that it would be too unsophisticated to play dumb at this time. She smiled and nodded, "Of course, I am a member of the legal department. No matter how the 22nd floor arranges it, I will definitely do my job well and fulfill my responsibilities to the department."
The minister immediately smiled happily and said, "You are a capable and promising young man. You will definitely have a bright future. Come on, work hard!"
Song Shu exchanged a few more polite words before leaving the minister's office.
After she went out, her eyes became dull. After hesitating for a few seconds between returning to the office area and going to the 22nd floor, Song Shu chose the latter.
When Song Shu went up to the 22nd floor, An Xingyun and Xu Jiajia, who were familiar with her, were not in the office area of the assistant secretary team. Due to the high intensity of work, the assistant team of the general manager in Vio Capital has always adopted a rotation work system. Five days a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other three people in the team are in charge, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, An Xingyun and Xu Jiajia are in charge.
When the three of them saw Song Shu coming up, they all showed kind smiles on their faces.
After the two sides greeted each other, Song Shu explained his purpose.
"Hey, we haven't heard from President Qin about this matter yet," the male assistant named Lin Xiaoou, who was sitting closest to the outside, scratched his head. "President Qin happened to have a guest this morning who went directly to the 23rd floor, so President Qin hasn't come down yet - why don't you just go up and ask Miss Qin?"
Song Shu was startled. "This is not good. I'd better wait here for President Qin to come down."
Lin Xiaoou waved his hand. "No need. Mr. Qin said last week that if Miss Qin comes to see him, she doesn't need to inform him or make an appointment. She can just come in directly."
Song Shu paused, "Did he say that?"
"Of course, Mr. Qin's original words, how dare we 'falsely convey the emperor's order'?" the male assistant joked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two echoed him.
The only female assistant said half-jokingly: "Boss Qin takes the best care of Miss Qin."
Song Shu was silent for two seconds, pretending to be disappointed yet somewhat relieved, "It's just because of another person."
"… "
No one in the assistant group spoke, and gossipy and complicated glances were exchanged frantically in the air.
After playing the role of a stuntman, Song Shu came out and went straight to the 23rd floor.
She had been feeling a little guilty towards Qin Lou because of the file issue last Friday and was busy for two days over the weekend.
Just as I was thinking about how to cover up my hasty departure last Friday and coax the little lunatic, the elevator door opened.
Coming towards them were Qin Lou and a strange man who was about thirty years old.
The three people inside and outside the elevator door were startled at the same time.
Qin Lou was the first to come back to his senses, somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"
Song Shu lowered his head and said, "Boss Qin, I need to report some work matters to you."
The strange man also came to his senses at this time, and quickly turned his surprised gaze away from Song Shu. He was wearing a baseball cap on his head, and he reached out to lower the brim of the hat and lowered his voice.
"Lou Ye, I'll leave first then."
"Um."
Qin Lou's eyes dimmed and he nodded. Turning to Song Shu, his lips curled up immediately, "Don't you have work to report? Come in."
"… "
Song Shu walked out of the elevator as instructed and passed by the man wearing a hat and lowering his head.
Qin Lou turned around and walked ahead without even looking at the closed staircase door or the people inside.
Song Shu paused.
"Mr. Lou" - no one in Vio's company would call Qin Lou like that.
But the fact that he could reach the 23rd floor meant that the man should be someone he trusted, but Song Shu had never seen this person in his memory.
So he is neither a subordinate nor a relative, and the other party seems to be very sensitive...
While thinking, Song Shu followed Qin Lou into the large flat on the 23rd floor.
When she turned in, she saw Qin Lou, who came in two steps faster than her, putting a brown paper bag on the sofa into the cabinet next to him.
Song Shu paused and his eyes flickered slightly.
