The Madman and The Doll

Chapter 42

Views:

Chu Xiangbin came back to his senses quickly. Almost the next second after Qin Lou walked past him, he turned his head to look towards the innermost part of the conference room.

The new employee in the legal department who had been smiling calmly in front of him seemed to have just heard a certain voice and raised her head with a look of surprise. Then, the moment she saw Qin Lou clearly, her expression showed a kind of helplessness and indulgence.

Chu Xiangbin narrowed his eyes slightly.

But that emotion dissipated very quickly, almost like an illusion to him. When he looked at her again, there was only a look of submissive obedience between the woman's delicate and beautiful features.

"Boss Qin."

She greeted him in a scattered manner along with the rest of the team members who had come to their senses.

Meanwhile, Qin Lou had already walked to Song Shu's side.

He hesitated when he stopped. Qin Lou's original intention was to help Song Shu take the documents and computer in front of her and then take her away, but in front of several "audiences", doing so was obviously too gentle and intimate.

So Qin Lou hesitated for two seconds, then spoke coldly, "I have an appointment tonight. If you don't have a job later, then come with me."

After Qin Lou finished speaking, Song Shu hesitated and turned slightly to look at Chu Xiangbin who was standing next to the door of the conference room.

Qin Lou, who had been able to control his cold and expressionless face, immediately frowned upon seeing this. He could not hide his displeasure, and his eyes darkened.

"What do you see him doing?"

"..." Someone was jealous again. Song Shu felt helpless and lowered his head with a bit of grievance. "Team Leader Chu is the person in charge of the team. I just wanted to ask him if he has any other work arrangements tonight..."

Qin Lou frowned even more when he heard that. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "It's past the end of get off work time. What work arrangements do you have at this time?" Qin Lou's eyes swept around the meeting room where no one dared to leave unless he moved. "So you are all still here, is it because someone forced you to work overtime? This is not in compliance with company regulations. If I tell others about it, would I, as the general manager, be considered to be exploiting my employees?"

Qin Lou's words almost hit Chu Xiangbin in the face. The employees of the Investment Development Department in the conference room turned their heads and looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex by the door with trembling hearts, fearing that the Tyrannosaurus Rex would get angry and scold even their President Qin.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangbin still had some sense of superiors and subordinates in his head. So even though his face was a little livid, he still didn't say anything.

Someone in the meeting room was smart and quickly changed the subject. "Boss Qin, you misunderstood. We are meeting voluntarily. We are all anxious to make progress and are here to meet voluntarily!"

"… Yeah?"

Qin Lou turned around and looked down at Song Shu.

Many people gasped immediately.

- They still remember how Chu Xiangbin had made things difficult for the newbie and how he had mocked Song Shu before. Now that Qin Lou was backing her up, wouldn't this newbie girl be giving Chu Xiangbin a hard time

What if President Qin gets angry and the project leader is replaced temporarily? It’s not uncommon...

When everyone in the team was getting nervous, the new employee in the legal department raised his head and smiled, "Boss Qin, we are all here voluntarily."

"… "

Perhaps it was because the smile was too bright that Qin Lou glanced at Chu Xiangbin with gloomy and jealous eyes.

He turned back, as if he didn't want to let this go, "If it's all voluntary, then why did you apply to him when you just got off work?"

Song Shu paused, then smiled and said, "I want to ask Team Leader Chu if I have missed any work tasks that I have not completed today. If so, it is the employee's responsibility to complete the tasks that were not completed during the day in their spare time."

Qin Lou raised his eyebrows, "You are good at defending him."

"I'm just telling the truth." Song Shu's patience in playing along with Qin Lou was gradually running out. Before the others turned around, she packed up her things and stood up quickly. "Doesn't Mr. Qin have an appointment? We should hurry up."

"… "

After receiving Song Shu's hint, Qin Lou was silent for two seconds, and finally nodded slowly.

Song Shu was relieved that the madman was willing to back down. She was a little worried that Qin Lou would be irritated by her and would kick Chu Xiangbin out.

She turned around and quickened her pace, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

When passing by Chu Xiangbin who had not yet left the door, Song Shu nodded to him while holding the briefcase and computer bag, "Team Leader Chu, see you tomorrow."

Chu Xiangbin looked at her calmly.

Song Shu didn't stay for long and walked out quickly.

Qin Lou lagged behind her by two steps. When he came in front of Chu Xiangbin, Qin Lou half-closed his eyes, and his voice was lazy, but with a hint of frost and snow.

"Team Leader Chu, we are all family in the company, so it's better to control your temper. What do you think?"

"… "

Chu Xiangbin glanced at Qin Lou and was silent for two seconds. Amidst the anxious gazes, Chu Xiangbin finally nodded slowly, "Boss Qin is right. I will pay attention next time."

Qin Lou smiled and patted Chu Xiangbin on the shoulder. "I heard that Lu Yunkai likes you very much. You are indeed good."

The last look was hidden in the shadow of the backlight. When Qin Lou finished saying this seemingly inexplicable sentence, he had already left with his hands down.

A few minutes later.

vio capital, 23rd floor.

After walking out of the elevator and out of the surveillance area, Song Shu stopped and looked back helplessly, "Is it inappropriate for you to teach Chu Xiangbin a lesson?"

"I am his boss's boss, and he is my subordinate's subordinate. What's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?"

Qin Lou walked up, not caring that the two had not yet entered the protective door, and pressed the man onto the purple soft bag in front of the wall with one hand.

He frowned, "You've been speaking for him in the conference room downstairs, that's fine, but you're still trying to make excuses for him in front of me?"

"I'm not making excuses for him," Song Shu blinked and pointed out calmly, "I mean, you two obviously have the same bad temper. What right do you have to accuse him of treating employees like family in the company? Leaders set an example for subordinates. Your own bad habits are so prominent, and you still want to control the temper of your subordinates?"

Qin Lou disagreed, "I did it, and then I asked him to do it."

“… to do what?”

“I treat my employees like family—I treat everyone else the same way.”

Song Shu: “…”

This statement made so much sense that she had no room to refute it.

Song Shu couldn't argue with him, so he could only admit defeat, "Don't you have an appointment? Can I help you with something?"

Qin Lou's eyes darkened, he lowered his eyelids and laughed hoarsely, "I have a social event... a social event to sleep with me."

Song Shu: “.”

Song Shu turned around, bent down and tried to slip away from him. "I still have a lot of information related to the field of artificial intelligence to study. If you have nothing else, I'll leave first—"

Before he could finish his words, they were interrupted.

"Just sleep, nothing else." Someone leaned forward slightly and rubbed against her neck like a large dog.

Song Shu was unmoved, "No."

"Little clam."

"No, this matter is not negotiable."

"… "

"." Song Shu turned his head, a rare hint of disdain in his indifferent eyes, "You are almost going to extremes, you know."

Qin Lou pressed her against the soft wall, rubbing her without giving up, "Stay here, I really can't do anything."

"no."

Qin Lou finally gave up.

Qin Lou suppressed his wolfish nature and tried hard to pretend to be a docile guard dog. He rubbed against Song Shu, hooked her and kissed the corner of her lips several times before he was willing to let her go.

The elevator carried his little clam shell downstairs.

Qin Lou looked away only after seeing the number turn into "1".

The 23rd floor is very spacious.

It's so quiet when no one is around.

In fact, he really didn't want to do anything, nor did he want to delay her work. He just wanted to cuddle with her, hold her, sit beside her, breathe the air with her around and fall asleep...

That being said, it seems there will still be some delay.

Qin Lou lowered his eyes slightly and smiled.

It seemed like since the student days, every time I tried to not trouble her or delay her, I always ended up holding her back.

Then she would stand at the door of the room, blocking her bedroom door, and repeatedly reject his interference with a cold and emotionless face.

Finally, I couldn't stand his nagging anymore and let him in.

“Crack.”

Suddenly, there was a thunder outside the building, most of the volume reduced by the soundproofing facilities.

Qin Lou came back to his senses and looked up, then walked to the French window and looked at the dark sky outside. Another thunderclap shook the sky outside the window.

The lightning that arrived a step earlier illuminated Qin Lou's face as he stood in front of the window in the dark.

Indifferent and boring.

… Everything is like this when she is not around.

Qin Lou lazily lowered his eyes and was about to turn around and go back to the private area on the other side of the protective door when the elevator he was passing by suddenly made a soft "beep" sound.

Qin Lou was stunned and turned sideways.

Song Shu walked out with a calm expression, sorting out his briefcase, his tone was flat and serious—

"Just to be clear, I'm not going to touch your bed tonight."

Qin Lou was stunned for a long time.

Then he came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and laughed hoarsely, very crazy.

"I'm not in a hurry. Because one day I will cook and eat you, little clam."

"… "

Song Shu had a wooden face, pretending not to hear anything, and walked in with the heavy briefcase.

Qin Lou followed.

The next day started in the morning, and there was another full morning of meetings. Song Shu had been cramming for half the night with his briefcase on his back. When he woke up in the morning, he had dark circles under his eyes, which he barely covered with the concealer in his makeshift makeup bag.

After a morning of intense meetings, almost all members of the AI project investment team collapsed.

Song Shu relied on the strong willpower he developed during his student days to resist someone's harassment and held on. He was still diligently recording and asking questions until almost noon.

Chu Xiangbin did not lower his requirements for Song Shu at all because of Qin Lou's explicit and implicit warnings the night before. What surprised him even more was that Song Shu had apparently done in-depth research on investments in the field of AI projects, and none of his deliberately difficult questions could stump Song Shu.

At this point, Chu Xiangbin finally acknowledged the identity of this "special person" who was parachuted into the team as a member of the team, and no longer deliberately made things difficult for Song Shu.

At the end of the morning, at Chu Xiangbin's request, the team members of the AI project investment group went to the employee cafeteria hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder.

It is euphemistically called "cultivating team rapport."

On this point, Song Shu really wanted to tell him: In fact, after living together for a long time, the possibility of developing estrangement and resentment is much greater than the possibility of developing tacit understanding.

But obviously, she has at most won the right to survive and has no say in the group.

So I had no choice but to follow him.

Everyone prepared their own meals and the whole group sat at the same table, including Chu Xiangbin.

Song Shu came back a little late, and unfortunately there were only two vacancies left—

The one on Chu Xiangbin’s left, the one on Chu Xiangbin’s right.

Song Shu: “.”

This is truly a group of team members who are united, friendly and respectful of their superiors.

Song Shuxuan had no choice but to sit in the empty seat closest to him.

With the King of Chu present, the table became eerily quiet.

When Song Shu was thinking about whether someone should come out and shout the slogan "Let's eat", she heard Chu Xiangbin beside her speak.

"I just received a message from the company that their chairman has arranged a drinking party tonight. The due diligence for the meeting with the senior management will be done at the drinking party. As for the rest, divide the work and show me the new due diligence plan in the afternoon."

Everyone in the group responded.

Then Chu Xiangbin raised his eyes.

"You, come with me to the drinking party tonight."

"… "

There was silence at the table for a few seconds, and Song Shu slowly raised his head.

"… I?"

Chu Xiangbin: “Yeah.”

The author has something to say: Qin Lou: Is he getting too arrogant or am I unable to lift the knife anymore

There is no second male lead in the love line. It is a 1v1 drama between the madman and the doll. The Tyrannosaurus Rex is just an important supporting role in this section.
