Song Shu's figure paused for two seconds.
Two seconds later, she lowered her eyes slightly and reached out to take the two cups of coffee from Xu Jiajia, whose eyes were fixed on Qin Lou.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Song Shu smiled faintly, looking very harmless and defenseless.
"Ah... It's nothing. This is my job." Xu Jiajia came back to her senses and lowered her head quickly. She blushed and didn't dare to look at Qin Lou again. "Then Mr. Qin, Ms. Qin, I'll go back first."
"Okay." Song Shu nodded.
Xu Jiajia turned around and left in a hurry.
"… "
The smile on Song Shu's face faded.
Someone behind her was so immersed in the play that he was still buried beside her neck and refused to leave. Song Shu was helpless and turned his eyes slightly to the side. "The person has left. Don't act anymore."
"…Who said I was acting?" Qin Lou raised his eyes, his dark eyes full of desire and dissatisfaction, "I am expressing my true feelings."
Song Shu turned around, handed the cup of coffee in his hand to Qin Lou, and closed the glass door behind him with his free hand.
Then she pulled Qin Lou into the office.
When they reached the window, Song Shucai asked in a low voice, "How is the sound insulation in the office?"
Qin Lou glanced casually outside the door, then looked away. "It has been specially treated with a soft package to reduce noise. Unless you speak loudly, no one outside can hear it."
Song Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned slightly, "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on your 22nd floor as well."
Qin Lou's mouth twitched, and a cold, mocking smile appeared in his eyes. "How could those old foxes on the board of directors be so careless as not to plant nails around me?"
"Was Xu Jiajia arranged by someone on the board of directors?"
"pretty close."
“… I thought you were the type who couldn’t tolerate any injustice.”
"Sand? A mountain is nothing to me." Qin Lou lowered his eyes. "Anyway, when you're not here, everything and everyone is so boring."
Song Shu was stunned.
Qin Lou seemed to remember something, his eyelids slightly lifted, his eyes swept across Song Shu's face, and he changed his words, "What's more, if we remove a nail in the open, they will put more nails in the dark. It's better to put it under the eyelids, at least it's less troublesome."
Song Shu was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said, "That's a bit too much to remedy."
"..." Qin Lou turned his face away, "I'm not that careful with others. It's hard not to be used to it."
"I know." Song Shu raised the coffee cup in his hand, took a sip, and then frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not easy to be a 'nail' here." Song Shu raised his eyes and pointed at the coffee in Qin Lou's hand. "At this temperature, you must have been standing outside for a long time."
Qin Lou said: "If you don't like it, I will pull it out."
"Need not."
"?"
"Follow the nail, maybe you can find its owner."
Qin Lou paused, "Do you suspect that the person behind her is related to that incident?"
"I don't know. But she has been working for a year and should not have made such a mistake, otherwise the assistant team would not have tolerated her." Song Shu gestured to the coffee cup in his hand, "Then why is she so anxious when I just arrived?"
"… "
Qin Lou's shoulders and back straightened slightly, and the laziness in his eyes was slowly replaced by coldness.
Song Shu noticed it and reached out to hold him down.
Qin Lou lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Song Shu shook his head and smiled faintly, "No hurry, let's take our time."
The arm muscles under her fingertips slowly relaxed, and a moment later Qin Lou, holding the coffee cup in one hand, leaned forward and gave Song Shu a restrained kiss on the lips.
"Yes. All up to you."
The rumor about Song Shu and the 22nd floor, which should not be told to outsiders, spread more and more within the company.
From the board of directors to the temporary outsourced health service personnel in the company, almost everyone has heard that President Qin found a new employee in the Legal and Compliance Department who is 70% similar to his first love as his mistress. They often play tricks on each other and have sex in the general manager's office. The evidence for the rumor is that their general manager was seen in dishevel several times during work reports.
The most gossipy employees in each department were curious about when this new employee would be promoted. After waiting for a few days, the investment and development department came up with the news:
Among the projects with suitable investment value that were recently screened from hundreds of business plans in the company's project database, an AI (artificial intelligence) related investment project was the most favored by their investment department and the top vice president Lu Yunkai, and the project team is about to be established.
Employees from related departments tried their best to get in, but unfortunately the position in the Legal and Compliance Department went to Mr. Qin's substitute lover.
When the news came out, everyone in the legal department was angry but dared not speak out.
—At this time, no one would care about Song Shu’s brilliant resume. Everyone unanimously accepted one fact: she got this job by sleeping with President Qin, and there could be no other reason.
The department was privately outraged, but on the surface they were all at peace with Lele - the stand-in was also a stand-in for President Qin's first love, and as long as this person remained in favor, they would never fall out with Song Shu.
So, despite countless rumors, Song Shu calmly joined VIO's most popular AI project investment team as a legal consultant.
On the day of joining the team, Song Shu received three consecutive team emails requiring her confirmation, asking all members of the project team to meet in the conference room on the 19th floor where the Investment Development Department was located after get off work in the afternoon.
A note was added at the end of the email: Since the duration of the meeting is uncertain, participants should be prepared to work overtime for a long time, and no early leave or leave will be accepted.
Looking at the three exclamation marks following "No early leave, no leave", Song Shu had a vague premonition about the character of the project team leader.
Before leaving get off work, Song Shu specifically found Yao Yiqun and asked about relevant matters.
"Chu Xiangbin?" Yao Yiqin turned around unexpectedly. "You were assigned to his project team? Oh, I see. Is it the investment project under the AI category?"
Song Shu nodded, "Yes."
"That project does have good prospects. It has a slightly higher risk, but the investment value is also very considerable. It's no surprise that Chu Xiangbin will be in charge of the investment department."
Song Shu said: "I haven't met him before, but I heard that he became the deputy director of the investment department at a young age. Is he very capable?"
"Of course he is capable. He is Vice President Lu's right-hand man. President Lu attaches great importance to him and is very willing to promote him as his successor. If you work hard with him, maybe in the future you will..." Yao Yiqin paused as if she thought of something and said, "Of course, you may not be slower than him."
Song Shu naturally heard the hidden meaning in the words, but at this moment he could only play dumb, "But I heard from my colleagues that his temper is a little... not so good?"
Yao Yiqin was silent for a moment. "Chu Xiangbin is only 27 this year. I haven't heard that he has any background. At this age, he can sit in the position of deputy director of the investment and development department, a core department of the entire company, in VIO. Do you know what this means?"
"Extremely outstanding personal abilities?"
"That's right." Yao Yiqin looked at her meaningfully. "People who are blessed by nature are always prone to being arrogant and have a lower tolerance for incompetent people. You have to be careful when working under him."
"… "
Song Shu was silent for two seconds and then smiled.
"I understand. Thank you, Sister Qin, for your advice."
That night.
As soon as Vio's working hours were over, Song Shu immediately took the project-related materials she had prepared for the past few days, walked quickly into the elevator, and took the elevator to the 19th floor.
Seeing her back, some of the legal department employees who were stretching and standing up curled their lips.
"Why is she pretending to be active and hardworking? It's really annoying. If you don't know her, you would think she got the spot in the AI team through her own efforts."
"You can't be passive. I heard that her team leader is Chu Bawang. He has the temper of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. He doesn't care if she is Mr. Qin's mistress. If you slack off, you will be kicked out of the team on the same day, and you will have to face the ground."
"I'm also surprised. How could the King of Chu tolerate her joining his group through the backdoor?"
"Who says it's not?"
"Alas, it's a pity that we don't have a face that looks like Mr. Qin's first love..."
"Come on, those who rely on their looks to get to the top will eventually fall into the mud, and then they will be miserable. I want to see how long she, who relies on sleeping with others to get to the top, can last in Chu Bawang's group?"
"Haha, then I'm curious too."
"… "
Song Shu, who was leaving, naturally had no idea how many colleagues in the department were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and she really had no time to care at this moment—
The news confirmed from Yao Yiqun that "Chu Xiangbin is Lu Yunkai's confidant" has made her nerves extremely tense.
After all, Lu Yunkai is the vice president, and it is difficult to get close to him unless he uses Qin Lou's relationship. Song Shu doesn't want Qin Lou to get involved too early, so getting close to Lu Yunkai through Chu Xiangbin, a capable general, is definitely the most feasible and risk-free shortcut at present.
Combined with the information about Chu Xiangbin obtained from the email and Yao Yiqun, after a brief analysis, Song Shu came up with the best plan to deal with this person.
So she didn't hesitate and rushed to the conference room of the Investment Development Department on the 19th floor.
Standing outside the door, Song Shu ignored the curious gazes and looks around her. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Enter."
A voice came from the conference room.
Song Shu pushed the door open and walked in.
At this time, the sky outside darkened a little, and the lights in the conference room were lit in rows. The only person in the room sat in the main seat, frowning as he looked through the scattered documents on the table in front of him.
Before Song Shu came in, he was the only one in the meeting room.
Song Shu paused slightly.
—It seems that they were too active. Even the members of their investment department haven’t arrived yet.
While Song Shu was thinking silently, Chu Xiangbin, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't hear any report for a long time. He frowned, raised his head, and stared at the person who came for two seconds.
"…Who are you?" He asked impatiently.
Song Shu paused, then put on a gentle smile, "Hello, Team Leader Chu, I am Qin Qing from the Legal and Compliance Department. I will serve as a legal advisor and assistant compliance officer in your team for a period of time in the future."
Chu Xiangbin had a cold expression on his face except for frowning. He stared at her for two seconds before speaking.
"Are you Qin Qing?"
The word "that is" was used brilliantly, causing Song Shu to narrow her eyes slightly. After a moment, she smiled and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I've heard of you for a long time." Chu Xiangbin said calmly. "Someone asked me to take good care of you."
Song Shu: “…”
For a moment she couldn't tell whether this was a stern statement or an ironic one.
Chu Xiangbin didn't give the two of them any more awkward stares. He quickly lowered his head and refocused on the documents in his hand. At the same time, he said absentmindedly: "Once you join my team, you are a member of my team. I don't care what others say, and I don't care how you got in. If you do well, you stay. If you don't, you get out. Do you understand?"
Song Shu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Team Leader Chu."
"Sit down."
"OK."
A moment later, the rest of the team also arrived. After Song Shu, they arrived in large numbers. When they poked their heads in and saw that there was clearly someone else beside Chu Xiangbin, they all seemed to relax at the same time.
But when they saw clearly that it was Song Shu, the expressions of several people became subtle again.
Song Shu vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but this was clearly not the time for her to ask questions.
Within just one minute, all the team members arrived quickly.
After the last person closed and locked the door of the conference room, Chu Xiangbin closed the folder in his hand.
“Click.”
The magnet automatically snaps on.
After this extremely slight sound, all the sounds in the conference room disappeared.
Chu Xiangbin turned his head without warning and looked at Song Shu, "Is this your first time joining a group like this?"
Song Shu was stunned and nodded.
"Newbie, please take good care of me."
Chu Xiangbin knocked on the table—
"Let me analyze the due diligence of investment projects from the aspects of investigation purpose, investigation object, investigation content and investigation measures."
He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Be detailed."
The author has something to say: Chu Xiangbin: Once you join my team, you are mine.
Qin Lou: Say it again? (pulling out an 80-meter-long sword)
