After a brief moment of distraction, Song Shu quickly adjusted back to normal.
She tucked her loose hair behind her ears and nodded, "I've heard of it. The amount of money involved in that case was huge, and the number of victims involved was huge. No matter how you look at it, it should be considered a major financial case in the past decade."
"A major financial case, huh." Chu Xiangbin laughed mockingly.
Song Shu was a little surprised, "Team Leader Chu doesn't seem to agree?"
"The amount involved was huge, and several major investors and the Qin family were almost at odds, and the Qin family's reputation was greatly damaged. Just one case could lead to such a situation. How could I not agree with the view that it was a major financial case?"
"Then Team Leader Chu is..."
"Since you are a top student majoring in law and have done a lot of research on domestic cases, you must know the outcome of this case."
Song Shu's eyes flickered slightly.
After a moment, she raised her eyes and smiled faintly, "Qin's general manager Bai Song was suspected of several criminal charges including money laundering and equity fraud. She committed suicide before the trial due to fear of punishment. The confession she left before her death was honest and she took all the responsibility alone, but the whereabouts of the money was unknown and could not be traced. The case was left unsolved."
"Hahaha… "
Chu Xiangbin seemed to have heard a funny joke and laughed so obviously in front of Song Shu for the first time.
But there was a hint of coldness in that laughter.
Song Shu pretended not to notice, "What are you laughing at, Team Leader Chu?"
Chu Xiangbin said, "Why am I laughing? Don't you know what I'm laughing at? That's not a small amount of money. If Bai Song really handled it himself, how could he disappear without leaving any trace?"
Song Shu showed a puzzled expression.
Chu Xiangbin added, "Besides, who is Bai Song? Wasn't her achievement in Qin's company more than enough for anyone else? Qin's company originally had 10% of the shares left to her by her father, and the dividends alone were enough for her to live comfortably for generations. At that time, Mr. Qin, who was in power, was obviously interested in forming a marriage alliance and entrusting Qin's company to her - she must have hit a wall and her brain was broken to do something that would do more harm than good!"
Chu Xiangbin became more and more angry as he spoke, and Song Shu was overwhelmed by doubts.
If Lv Yunkai was really the one who framed Bai Song, then why would his confidant have such indignant words? Are they in good company but not in good company? However, the rumors in the company did not show any such trend.
Next, if Lu Yunkai was not the one, then why would Chu Xiangbin be so sensitive to this case and even seem to know some inside information
After thinking about it, Song Shu took a tentative step. She pretended to be indifferent and curious, and turned to look at Chu Xiangbin, "Team Leader Chu, do you mean that there is something else behind this case?"
“… I don’t know.” Chu Xiangbin’s smile faded. “No one knows, and no one dares to know.”
Song Shu's pupils shrank slightly.
After a moment, she smiled and said, "So there is something in this world that Team Leader Chu doesn't dare to do?"
Chu Xiangbin glanced at her coldly, "Don't use provocation. I've said too much today - aren't you wondering why VIO has deviated from the development direction of the industry market? The Bai Song case is the reason."
Song Shu was stunned.
Chu Xiangbin turned his head away. "I wonder if Boss Qin is afraid. After this incident, Bai Song has become a name that no one in the company dares to mention. That incident has become a taboo."
"… "
"And since then, all the financing, mergers and acquisitions, fund management and other projects related to that case have been suppressed unprecedentedly by President Qin. Just as President Lu said, Qin Lou would rather abandon his innate sensitivity and judgment in the financial capital market, and cut off the possibility of creating a legend from the root, in order to force Vio to deviate from the normal state of investment banking step by step and focus on venture capital."
Chu Xiangbin finished speaking and glanced to the side.
Then he froze.
"…Why do you have such an expression?"
Song Shu suddenly came back to his senses and looked up with a smile.
"Team Leader Chu, I don't have any expression."
Chu Xiangbin frowned, "You just looked like—"
"?"
"… never mind."
Chu Xiangbin turned away awkwardly.
Looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window, he frowned unconsciously.
Is it an illusion
But he clearly felt that he had seen it. The moment he turned around just now, behind the rustic pair of black-framed glasses that covered half of the girl's face, there was clearly such a sad emotion in those brown eyes.
It's like a cloud that's gathering rain, but it's just holding it back and never showing it.
—For a moment, Chu Xiangbin felt that he seemed to understand a little bit what Qin Lou liked about this newcomer.
But if Qin Lou were there, he would probably tell him: You understand nothing.
The madman likes Little Clam, but it's not just because of one thing about her.
The company's car finally dropped Song Shu and Chu Xiangbin off at a high-end restaurant in downtown Q City.
In the porch downstairs in the restaurant, the head of the company had a kind smile on his face and looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
Before getting off the car, Chu Xiangbin seemed to remember something and turned to look at Song Shu, "How much can you drink?"
Song Shu paused and told the truth, "I haven't drunk it."
“…” Chu Xiangbin seemed to be choked and looked at her up and down in disbelief.
Song Shu could almost read from his expression the meaning of "How come there are still people like you living in the company now?"
Chu Xiangbin didn't express this meaning clearly in the end. He just frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Team Leader Chu, we are here to do due diligence. The intermediary agency is also here, so it shouldn't be..."
"Do you think the drinking culture in China is a joke?"
Song Shu was silent.
Chu Xiangbin gave her a cold look and said, "If you've never drunk it, then just treat it as your first time and try it. Anyway, no matter which group you are in in the company, you will be the ones to handle this kind of thing in the future."
Song Shu was helpless, "Is it a traditional culture in Vio to use female employees to force people to drink?"
"Why, do you feel that you are being discriminated against based on gender in the workplace? Are you going to tell me about the anti-discrimination provisions in the company law?"
"..." Song Shu didn't want to pay attention to this Tyrannosaurus Rex that was in fire-breathing mode. She smiled gently, "Of course not. I will try my best."
Chu Xiangbin glanced at her and turned to get out of the car.
When two parties meet, there is naturally a long and nonsense set of polite greetings. Even though they don't know each other, they have to pretend to be close friends.
Looking at one of the company leaders who was just one step away from asking Chu Xiangbin to become sworn brothers, Song Shu sighed inwardly.
I originally thought that the leaders of AI, a new project in recent years, would be younger and more technical, and therefore more pure. Now it seems that she took it for granted - those who would drag the financing parties to the drinking party to play with capital are, after all, the old hands in these companies.
Facts also proved Song Shu's conjecture.
After the historical evolution and shareholders were introduced, a round of toasts were offered; after the major equity changes and major restructuring were understood, another round of toasts were offered; after the company's organizational structure and regulations were reviewed, another round of toasts were offered...
The words are in the wine, it’s all in the wine.
Until a sensitive issue involving the establishment of the three committees of the enterprise came up, the person in charge seemed to be unprepared and found an excuse to pick flowers to go to the bathroom.
Song Shu's face turned red from drinking. Seeing that she and Chu Xiangbin were the only ones left at the table, she suppressed her dizziness and asked in a low voice, "Team Leader Chu, how long will this night last?"
Chu Xiangbin squinted at her and asked, "Can't you bear it anymore?"
"… "
Song Shu was such a carefree person, but now, stimulated by alcohol, he had the urge to pick up the bottle and smash it on the man's head.
Fortunately, she was still rational, so she endured it and said half jokingly and half helplessly: "So companies that work with emerging technologies are also like this."
"Don't treat them as fresh-faced young men who just graduated from school. They won't bring their true technical skills to a drinking table like this." Chu Xiangbin glanced at her, and he felt a little guilty. Then he looked away. "Besides, these are all companies that have at least experienced seed and angel round investment battles. The people in charge specially sent out are usually very slippery. I'll be in charge today, so there won't be any problems. If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, if you get drunk and they lead you into trouble over the details, don't blame me for not teaching you."
"… "
Song Shu had heard Chu Xiangbin's deliberate reminder from the beginning, and his heart was moved at this moment.
Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex had a bad temper and could breathe fire at any time, it did not have any deliberate reservations when it came to supporting its younger generations.
At least there is some humanity...
Song Shu didn't have time to think about it, because the company leader who went out to "pick flowers" had returned with a smile on his face.
Looking at that face, Song Shu immediately felt a little twitching in his stomach.
Chu Xiangbin and the other party had been arguing over the issue of the three corporate meetings for a while, and after going through countless rounds, the due diligence finally reached the last stage of peer competition.
"There are many branches in the field of artificial intelligence, but the one that dominates the field should be Xiaokai Technology Company." The person in charge paused here and turned to look at Chu Xiangbin, "Mr. Chu, I remember that its founder seemed to have come from Qin's company."
The sound of clinking glasses on the table stopped.
Song Shu lowered his eyes, his expression calm.
Deng Xiaokai was the previous general manager of Qin Group before Bai Song. Before Qin Group encountered difficulties, he was the first to directly transfer his shares and leave the company to start his own business.
But the capital market is bustling with people seeking profit, which is indeed understandable, not to mention that he probably already had some resentment towards Qin Liang because of his demotion.
Song Shu knew that it was impossible for Chu Xiangbin not to have heard of it.
His expression did not change. "The name seems familiar. It seems that he was indeed a former employee of Qin Corporation. However, Qin Corporation no longer exists, and Vio has long been the domain of Mr. Qin of Qin Building. There is no point in digging up those old accounts."
"Mr. Chu is right."
"Then let's continue to talk about the rest of the competition?"
"no problem… "
11pm, downstairs in the restaurant.
Chu Xiangbin looked at his watch impatiently, and when he put it down, he couldn't help but ask, "Has the logistics staff not arrived yet?"
The driver smiled bitterly: "Minister Chu, it's already this late, it's good enough that the Human Resources Department can contact someone."
"… "
"If you really don't want to wait, we can just send Miss Qin back to her residence first."
Chu Xiangbin sneered, "It's late at night and we're alone. Do you want me to be fired by President Qin tomorrow by sending her back?"
The driver laughed, "That's not the case."
"Not really?"
Chu Xiangbin recalled the several times when Qin Lou looked at him at the door of the conference room the night before with an almost ferocious coldness in his eyes.
He scoffed and looked away.
"Boss Lu is right. Our Boss Qin is much more intimidating than the old-timers despite his young age."
The driver didn't dare to respond.
Two or three minutes later, the driver looked up and saw the license plate illuminated by the headlights of a car flashing not far away, and his eyes lit up.
"Minister Chu, the car from the company's human resources department is here."
Chu Xiangbin hesitated for a moment, "You go and greet them, I'll wake up the 'drunkard'."
"OK."
The driver got out of the car, and Chu Xiangbin opened the back door. He bent down slightly, holding the door with one hand, and frowned as he looked at the drunken woman who was sleeping soundly inside covered with a suit jacket.
"Qin Qing."
"… "
"Qin Qing?"
"… "
"Qin Qing!"
"… "
With the last angry shout, the sleeping woman inside finally realized something and moved slowly.
Chu Xiangbin was just about to make another effort to pick the man up when he heard a mocking female voice beside him: "Do you want the whole parking lot to hear you?"
"..." Chu Xiangbin frowned and turned back. Two seconds later, he looked at the driver next to the visitor. "I asked you to call a female support person from the HR department. Why did you call their director?"
The driver explained awkwardly: "I didn't know it was Minister Luan who came."
"No one's here right now." Luan Qiaoqing rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Do you really think that the people working in the logistics department of our HR department are all grandsons, on call 24 hours a day?"
"Do you know who's lying in there?"
"Nonsense. Is there anyone in the company who doesn't know her?"
Luan Qiaoqing and Chu Xiangbin have been at odds with each other for a long time. Now that they are not in the company and don’t know anyone, there is no need for them to show mercy to each other.
Chu Xiangbin laughed, "That's right, after all, you two are clinging to the same thigh."
Luan Qiaoqing immediately showed disgust, "I am different from her."
"Well, purely in terms of work ability, she is indeed too strong to be someone with connections - in this respect, you two are indeed different."
"…" Luan Qiaoqing almost gritted her teeth. "What on earth did you call someone here for? To chat with you?"
Chu Xiangbin asked uncertainly: "Can you give it away?"
"Why can't I?"
"… "
Chu Xiangbin glanced inside the car.
There was no one in the company who didn't know that the newcomer in the Legal Department, Qin Qing, and the Director of the Human Resources Department, Luan Qiaoqing, were extremely at odds with each other, so he had naturally heard a lot of rumors.
Chu Xiangbin turned back worriedly, "You won't abandon her in the wilderness on the way, will you?"
Luan Qiaoqing: “…”
Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth and said, "How about you send it yourself?"
Chu Xiangbin weighed the pros and cons for three seconds and opened the car door as wide as possible.
"please."
"… "
Luan Qiaoqing frowned and stepped forward.
She bent down and helped the half-asleep woman out of the car, then dragged her out of the car with disgust.
While dragging her, he was mean to Chu Xiangbin:
"No matter what her relationship is, she got the female colleagues in the team drunk like this, and she is not in trouble at all - Minister Chu, I have seen your bottom line."
Chu Xiangbin's face darkened.
"This has nothing to do with me. She can't drink much. I drink more than she does, and I've never seen anyone being a subordinate like this."
"I believe you have a ghost."
“… Believe it or not!”
"I just don't believe it."
Chu Xiangbin almost got a stitch in his side and waved his hands in disdain, "Go, go, go, hurry up!"
"… "
With the help of Chu Xiangbin's driver, Luan Qiaoqing finally managed to squeeze the person into the back seat of the car she was driving.
After the other party confirmed and left, Luan Qiaoqing frowned and looked at the woman lying on her side in the car.
Because she was afraid that she would hurt her eyes if she fell down while drunk, she had taken off her black-framed glasses and put them away. The woman's long hair was buried in front of her, revealing a delicate and beautiful face between her soft hair.
She hardly wears any makeup, but her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are still flawlessly beautiful.
If my sister were alive, she would probably look similar to this now.
Because I have never seen her in her twenties, the more I look at this person, the more she looks like... No wonder Qin Lou fell for her.
Luan Qiaoqing sighed, bent down and covered the woman with the thin blanket from the back of the car.
The movement was a little too big, and the half-asleep person opened his hazy eyes.
Luan Qiaoqing paused and frowned, "I can't help it because you look like my sister—"
"Qiaoqiao..."
"!"
Luan Qiaoqing's hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
