After leaving the hospital, Qin Lou was nearly killed in the car by his little clam, who was angry and humiliated for the first time in his life.
The car was driving back to the company. After driving a long way, Qin Lou looked back at the person in the passenger seat with a smile, and could still see Song Shu's faintly red earlobes hidden in his long hair.
He tried to hold it in for a moment, but couldn't help laughing hoarsely.
There is an unconcealable joy in the laughter.
"… "
Song Shu turned her head with a blank expression, glanced at him, and turned back. In the reflection of the car window, her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of blush.
Although he was annoyed by Qin Lou's approach, Song Shu had to admit that this was indeed the most effective method in the short term...but the process was really shameful.
Especially at the end, the woman pulled the doctor aside with a look of regret and asked, "Are you really not pregnant? Are you sure the instrument used for the examination is correct?"
—The expression, tone, and eyes, all the emotions contained were all there. If Song Shu didn't know the situation between them best, she would probably feel deeply regretful like the doctors and nurses standing next to her for this man who missed the chance to be a father.
The more Song Shu thought about it, the redder her cheeks became. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Does Vio have any thoughts on entering the entertainment industry? I think it's a waste of talent if you don't go."
Qin Lou thought about it carefully after hearing this and said, "Sure, what kind of drama do you want to shoot? I'll find someone to write a script for us."
Song Shu: “…”
Song Shu glanced at him expressionlessly, "No need to find someone else, you are the most suitable person to write the script."
Qin Lou stopped the car at a traffic light, and leaned over while laughing softly, "Then you're in trouble, little clam."
"?" Song Shu slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
Qin Lou understood and leaned close to her ear to answer, his voice low and soft: "Director, screenwriter, male lead, producer, I will take care of everything myself - then you will be sexually exploited four times."
"!"
The three words "implicit rules" were emphasized intentionally or unintentionally, and Song Shu's cheeks, which were already hot, became hot again.
She raised her eyes with some annoyance and glanced towards Qin Lou.
Qin Lou was also smiling and looking down at her, wanting to see how effective his attempt to trick the little clam into opening its shell was.
Then their eyes met and Qin Lou paused.
After about five seconds, he slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Did you cry?"
"You're the one crying."
"But your eyes look wet."
“… I was mad at you.”
"That's right. It's rare to see you so emotional." Qin Lou laughed again, but this time his eyes were filled with deeper, richer, and more greedy emotions. He lowered his head and leaned close to Song Shu's ear, "I like the way you looked at me just now. It was very touching."
Song Shu was startled, "What's the feeling?"
Qin Lou spoke slowly: "Well, how do you feel about whether you should cry or not?"
Song Shu: “.”
"I always thought I was afraid of you crying, but now it seems that's not entirely true."
"… "
"The look and expression you had just now really made me think of 'bully'."
Song Shu was silent for two seconds, then slowly moved two centimeters away from Qin Lou, staring at him expressionlessly, "Boss Qin, I think you are thinking about something that is not in line with the core values of socialism. I suggest you clear out the waste in your brain in time."
"Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"… "
"But you do know what I'm thinking all along, so I'll be honest with you."
Qin Lou chuckled, moved forward, and restored the two centimeters distance between him and Song Shu to zero. He kissed the girl's earlobe.
"Little clam, I have always hated words like marriage, family, and children. But when I took you for a checkup just now..."
He chuckled softly, seeming to sigh to himself.
"I actually felt a little regretful that I couldn't become a father."
Song Shu was stunned.
She opened her mouth to say something, but a whistle sounded behind her.
The traffic light turned green without them noticing, and both of them came back to their senses.
Qin Lou sat back down, shifted gears again and drove out, then he smiled in his nonsensical manner again.
"But before that, I still have to complete the necessary steps to become a father."
“… drive your car.”
"Huh? I'm not driving?"
"Qin, Lou."
—As it turned out, Qin Lou was able to return to the company alive on the road that day because of his good fortune and also because his little clam had a very good temper.
After Qin Lou finished his business trip, he did not tell Song Shu the reason for his trip and what news he had obtained as agreed on the phone.
After several fruitless attempts, Song Shu could only suppress her curiosity. She also chose to believe that Qin Lou just needed to confirm certain things, and tried to wait patiently for Qin Lou to tell her everything.
The incident at the hospital would inevitably make those in the dark alert. Although the improvisation of the fake pregnancy seemed to have saved Song Shu from the danger of direct exposure, under the warning of An Xingyun who knew the whole story, Song Shu could only choose to temporarily stop deeper contact and investigation as he said.
Song Shu temporarily forced himself to focus on stabilizing the work at VIO, and placed his hopes on Yu Yuntao and Yu Qisheng for short-term progress, hoping that there would be a new turnaround in the control over Deng Xiaokai and his Xiaokai Technology Company.
The day after Qin Lou returned to the company, he formally arranged for his "new assistant" to meet with the senior executives of Vio.
Song Shu and Qin Lou had a big disagreement on this matter.
Song Shu originally wanted to contact all senior executives in VIO, including the board of directors, through simple introductions at meetings, but Qin Lou firmly refused.
"There must be someone in the upper echelons of the board who was closely involved in the case. There may even be more than one person. It is my bottom line to let you stay in Vio and have contact with them."
"Qin Lou, this is inside the company, they won't do anything openly."
"It's enough to stay within the company!" Qin Lou's voice sank. "Every time I think about the people who brush past you, greet you, and smile at you in the company, they might want to kill you at any time, I feel like I'm going crazy - so this is my bottom line. There is no way I can go any further. This matter is not negotiable."
"… "
Facing Qin Lou's almost gloomy gaze, Song Shu could only compromise.
The two then reached an agreement that while Raymond Lam was still on a business trip, Song Shu would only formally meet two other vice president-level executives in the company.
One was Lu Yunkai, the vice president in charge of the financial center, investment development department and information technology department, whom Song Shu had met at the team celebration party before; the other was Jerry Qiao, the financial director in charge of the third financial department.
The former acted calm and composed - as if all the communication between him and Song Shu at the celebration banquet that day was just her illusion and the two had never met before.
As for the latter…
Song Shu was standing in the general manager's office at the moment, her smile almost frozen. She looked at the foreigner in front of her with mixed feelings, who had absolutely no airs of a vice president or senior executive at all, and listened to him speaking to her in Chinese with an enthusiastic, almost flattering tone and with a strange accent.
"Ms. Qin, I really didn't know you were such a beautiful lady. Thinking that I will be working with you in the same company for the rest of my life, I suddenly feel honored!"
"That's not how you use Pengbi Shenghui."
Behind the general manager's desk, Qin Lou finished reading the last evaluation report in his hand and signed it. Then he frowned and looked up.
"And take your claws off her hands."
"What a stingy man. And do you think I don't know? The word claws is not used in this way." Jerry Qiao rolled his eyes, turned his head and smiled warmly at Song Shu again. "Miss Qin, do you think I'm right?"
"Uh-huh."
Song Shu smiled perfunctorily and agreed. After "saving" her hand from the other party, she turned around with some embarrassment and looked at Qin Lou for help.
Song Shu could see it naturally—
Qin Lou and Jerry Qiao have a special relationship. Compared with superiors and subordinates in the company, they are more likely to be friends with a very close personal relationship.
After all, not everyone can act so recklessly in front of a madman.
After receiving Song Shu's distress signal, Qin Lou lowered his eyes and smiled, "Qiao, if there is nothing else, you should leave."
Jerry Qiao turned his head when he heard this, "I've only been here for a short while, are you going to cruelly drive me away?"
"Every extra second you stay here is just one more second to remind me how irritable I was when I saw the third quarter report a few days ago."
"… "
Jerry Joe blinked innocently when he heard this.
A few seconds later, he suddenly turned to Song Shu and said in a very seductive manner, "Dear, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to deal with, so I may not be able to chat with you anymore."
Song Shu held back his laughter, "It's okay, we'll have another chance next time, Director Qiao."
Jerry Joe hesitated, "Then can you take me to the elevator?"
Song Shu was stunned, somewhat surprised by this request.
Jerry Qiao immediately explained, "It's best to pretend to be very eager to communicate with me - you have to know that your immediate boss on the 22nd floor is really a female devil, and I really want to avoid any chance of meeting her alone."
Song Shu thought about it and couldn't help laughing, "Director Qiao, are you referring to Assistant An?"
Jerry's eyes lit up, and then he immediately turned pitiful, "It seems that you feel the same as I do, dear."
Before Song Shu could reply, a pen flew over from the direction of the general manager's desk where Qin Lou was sitting.
Unlike his previous shy behavior, Jerry Joe reacted almost immediately—he raised his hand and grabbed the pen that was about to fly past him.
Then he turned his head and said with a serious expression, "Qin, I just prevented you from committing a crime and going to jail. Can you agree to one condition of mine?"
"No, get out." Qin Lou's hands were empty, and he stopped looking at the documents. He squeezed his knuckles, "Also, don't call her that anymore."
Jerry Qiao shrugged, "This man is really stingy. Right, Miss Qin? How do you tolerate his possessiveness of you?"
"… "
Song Shu had no doubt that if she continued with this topic, the "beast" behind the table over there would sharpen its claws and pounce on her and do something bad, so she had to force a smile.
"Director Qiao, don't you have something else to do? I'll take you to the elevator."
Jerry Qiao blinked, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness in an instant. He turned around and walked out quickly, as if he was afraid that Song Shu would go back on his word.
"Fortunately, Miss Qin reminded me, otherwise I would have really forgotten about this matter."
"… "
Song Shu turned back helplessly, and used her eyes to comfort Qin Lou, who had an unhappy expression behind the desk, and then she followed Jerry Qiao and walked out quickly.
The two finally stopped at the elevator.
After Jerry Qiao stopped, he did not press the elevator button. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Song Shu with interest—with a look that was completely different from the one he had in the general manager's office, a look that was a little scrutinizing.
Song Shu kept smiling.
In fact, it was this kind of aggressive financial director that Song Shu felt more accustomed to, and it was more in line with the senior executives in the workplace that she had come into contact with and was familiar with.
After a while, seeing that Jerry Qiao didn't say anything or press the elevator button, Song Shu realized that he wanted her to break the deadlock, so she took the initiative to speak with a gentle smile.
"Director Qiao, do you have something to say to me
Jerry Qiao responded immediately after hearing this, and was obviously waiting for her to speak.
"Oh, sorry, I just rarely see a beauty like you - have I offended you or made you feel uncomfortable?"
Song Shu narrowed her eyes, and after a few seconds she made a rare joke: "... No, I will always be more tolerant towards Mr. Qiao than towards others."
"Oh? Can I ask why?"
"The reason is very simple. Mr. Qiao, your name is the same as a very close friend of mine who I met when I was studying abroad in college."
"I see. I'm really lucky." Jerry Qiao clapped his hands and asked with a smile, "In that case, maybe I can ask Miss Qin to do me a favor for that friend?"
Here it comes, Song Shuxin said.
In her memory of VIO's senior management, she didn't remember whether this foreign financial director was an easy-going or lustful man.
In other words, this man's behavior towards her today was extremely strange - either he had a special purpose towards her, or he wanted something from her.
Thinking of this, Song Shu's eyes remained unchanged, only a hint of genuine doubt was revealed in his expression.
"Boss Qiao, I'm just a little assistant, I don't think I can help you with anything."
"Miss Qin, that's too polite. How could you be just a little assistant?"
Jerry Joe shook his head vigorously.
"In my opinion, Miss Qin has much more power than us. How do you say that in ancient times... Oh, by the way, it is possible for Miss Qin to sit in a position like Vio, isn't it?"
"… "
Song Shu was shocked.
If it wasn't meaningless or unnecessary, Song Shu would almost think that this person was trying to flatter her. But looking at the sincerity of the other person's expression - at least he was trying hard to make her feel sincere, it didn't seem like he had any malicious intentions.
Song Shu thought for a few seconds and smiled.
"How can I have such influence? Mr. Qiao can only say this as a joke in private. If it gets out, I will be blacklisted in the industry."
"Of course, when there are no acquaintances around, I still know what to say and what not to say." Jerry Qiao blinked, "But Miss Qin's influence on Qin Building is obvious to everyone in the company. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to reach the 22nd floor in such a short time."
Song Shu lowered his eyes, "I just took advantage of the fact that I look like Mr. Qin's first love."
"No matter what the reason is, we value the results more." Jerry Joe said meaningfully.
Song Shu looked up and smiled brightly, "So what does Director Qiao want me to do?"
"It's very simple. It's beneficial to you, me, the company and Qin Lou."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
“Financial derivatives.”
"… What?"
"I hope Miss Qin that you can persuade Qin Lou to accept and even explore the financial derivatives market of VIO again."
"… "
Song Shu's eyes moved slightly.
Jerry Qiao's words reminded her of what Chu Xiangbin had said to her in the car before the drinking party that marked the beginning of due diligence when she was working on a project under Chu Xiangbin.
"Since Qin's restructuring to VIO, the proportion and focus of corporate finance and fund management have indeed been decreasing over the years."
"Jerry used to go to the 22nd floor every other day to complain, but now he has given up..."
Song Shu suddenly realized that this was what Jerry Qiao was planning.
But Song Shu certainly remembers the reasons and crux of Qinlou's reform better.
So Song Shu collected his thoughts and smiled at Jerry Qiao: "Director Qiao must have some misunderstanding about me - I am far from touching the core of Vio's business, let alone being able to influence the company's business direction."
Jerry Qiao saw that Song Shu clearly wanted to refuse, and he became a little anxious. "Ms. Qin, if you really think so, then I have to say that you have greatly underestimated your influence on Qinlou."
"… Even if I really have this influence, I won't do this." Song Shu's smile faded, and he said bluntly: "Once a decision is made on this matter, it will affect the entire company. I will never let myself or President Qin take such a big risk - the company is not a joke, and it should not be influenced by the ideas of anyone other than the leader. Otherwise, it will be a mess. What do you think, President Qiao?"
"But I said, this matter is beneficial and harmless..."
"Tsk." Song Shu chuckled, then she covered her mouth and looked up, "Boss Qiao, you are treating me like a three-year-old kid when you talk like that - I am indeed not familiar enough with the field of financial derivatives, let alone your level of expertise. But I also know that most financial derivatives of investment banks make money through high leverage. A very small change in market interest rates can make people make a lot of money, but it is also more likely to make a lot of money - how can this be beneficial without any harm?"
Jerry Qiao's expression was serious. "That's exactly what you don't understand, Miss Qin. We sell financial derivatives to big clients, and we make money from transaction fees. If the clients make a lot of money, we will naturally make a lot of money too. But even if the clients lose money, we can still make a profit."
"… "
Song Shu's eyes turned cold and his smile disappeared.
Jerry Qiao was silent for a few seconds, "Well, actually there is one most important point - I have confidence in Qin."
Song Shu heard this and suppressed his brewing displeasure. "What does Mr. Qiao mean by this?"
"Ms. Qin, you have never lived abroad before, and strictly speaking, you are not in the industry, so you may not know Qin Lou. He has a nickname in the industry, GM, which stands for genuine madness. Do you know how he got this nickname?"
"... I've heard of it." Song Shu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Qin Lou has made outstanding achievements in predicting the trend of interest rates in the international financial market."
"Oh Jesus!"
Jerry Joe's movements, expressions and tone suddenly became exaggerated. He turned around on the spot, his face flushed with excitement, and he almost danced with joy.
"That's not outstanding, Miss Qin! That's great, it's a miracle, it's the work of God!"
When she was abroad, she found it difficult to communicate with some religious fanatics. Jerry Qiao's performance in front of her gave Song Shu a familiar headache at that moment.
"What does Joe always say, God's work?"
"Of course it's Qin Lou's thinking and his IQ! His sensitivity to data is far higher than any elite data analyst or industry researcher in the industry! No, it should be said that he is better than them all combined!"
Jerry Joe danced more and more, his excitement making him spit.
"… "
At this moment Song Shu felt that he could understand why Jerry Qiao was Qin Lou's friend.
Obviously, these two people are similar in some aspects of madness.
But Jerry Qiao's advocacy did not end. He seemed to wake up from his self-indulgent state and grabbed Song Shu's hand again, holding it tightly.
"Miss Qin, really, believe me, if you can convince Qin Lou, you will recreate the miracle of the industry. He will let you see how talented he is in this area, which would make Adam Smith jealous! He was born for this industry! And today, no, a few years ago, he actually wanted to give up this extinct talent of his - this is simply unreasonable and a waste of talent!"
Song Shu resolutely and slowly pulled her hand back from Jerry Qiao, with an awkward but polite smile on her face, "Director Qiao has learned idioms very well..."
Jerry Qiao quickly grabbed Song Shu's hand and held it in front of him again. This blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner was as good as Qin Lou in acting - in just a few short seconds, Song Shu saw that his eyes were filled with tears.
"No, don't change the subject, Miss Qin! You must promise me this. Don't you want to see a miracle happen again? It will be Vio's miracle, Qin Lou's miracle, and yours behind him. Don't you want to create all this with your own hands?"
"I may not be as ambitious as Mr. Qiao thinks." Song Shu smiled stiffly, "What Qin Lou chooses is his business. I won't interfere."
"Miss Qin—"
"This is my last warning to you. Don't touch her hand again."
A suppressed voice sounded from behind her. Song Shu turned around quickly and saw Qin Lou walking towards her with a gloomy brow. Without waiting for her to react, he pulled her back from Jerry Qiao and pulled her into his arms.
Song Shu's hand was grasped in Qin Lou's palm, as if he wanted to wipe off the scent left by another man.
This lasted for more than ten seconds before Qin Lou looked at Jerry Qiao coldly, "I've said it so many times, I've made that decision and I won't change it, it's useless for you to find anyone."
Jerry Qiao asked unwillingly: "Can't Miss Qin influence you?"
Qin Lou paused, "She can indeed." He curled his lips, "She has absolute control over me."
Song Shu: “…”
Jerry Joe's eyes lit up.
Then Qin Lou ruthlessly attacked him: "But unfortunately, she is obviously not on your side."
"Qin..."
Jerry Qiao looked at Qin Lou sadly.
The look in his eyes was so sad that Song Shu almost suspected that there was something going on between Qin Lou and Jerry Qiao...
"If you keep imagining that, I'm going to kiss you."
The person behind her suddenly leaned over to her ear and said a low, hoarse "warning".
Song Shu's psychological activities were also caught, and he could only shrug innocently.
"I didn't think about anything, Mr. Qin."
Qin Lou turned around with satisfaction.
When his eyes fell on Jerry Joe, he frowned again.
"It's already working hours. Are you ready to be kicked from here to the 21st floor?"
Jerry Joe had no choice but to press the elevator button sadly.
Before going in, he turned back and looked at Song Shu unwillingly, "Miss Qin, you must consider my advice."
"Oh my god, hurry in."
Qin Lou stood in front of Song Shu with a cold face, blocking Jerry Qiao's harassing gaze.
Jerry Joe's face was filled with sorrow, which finally turned into resentment before the elevator door closed.
"I'm telling you, Qinrui Investment Bank has tried to poach me many times! If you keep doing this, you'll lose me!"
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Qin Lou sneered in response.
The elevator door closed.
The elevator finally became quiet.
Qin Lou turned around, only to see that Song Shu seemed to be struck by some sudden idea and stood there motionless.
"What's wrong?" Qin Lou asked with a frown.
Song Shu thought for a few seconds and said frankly, "Last night, Uncle Yu just told me that he suspected that part of the funds involved in that case went to Qinrui Investment Bank."
Qin Lou paused, "So?"
Song Shu hesitated for two seconds and his voice became very soft.
"I might... use you, Qin Lou."
Qin Lou paused for a few seconds after hearing this, then lowered his eyes and smiled.
He leaned over—
"Then promise me that you will make full use of every inch of me."
"… "
"The madman is your madman, have you forgotten?"
