Chapter 65

Views:

Monday morning, in the general manager’s office on the 22nd floor of Vio Capital.

This weekend, Song Shu started to sort out the evidence and documents needed for the retrial, familiarizing himself with and studying various relevant laws and regulations, and was very busy. Qin Lou had to accompany him regardless of whether he could understand it or not.

The end result was that his own work piled up until Sunday night, and he had to work all night to avoid delaying the progress of the new week starting on Monday for various departments.

At around 5 or 6 in the morning, Qin Lou took a three-hour nap on the 23rd floor, and was taken downstairs by Song Shu before 9 o'clock. At this time, he was sitting on a chair in his office, looking bored.

Song Shu was so angry that he laughed.

"Who told you to pester me to sort out materials on the weekend? You can't really help me."

Qin Lou raised his eyelids, looking gloomy, "Even if I can't help you in a practical way, at least I can provide you with moral support."

"You haven't even finished your own work, and you're still giving me moral support?"

"… "

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"knew."

"Will you dare to do it next time?"

"dare."

"…" Song Shu wanted to reach out and slap him awake, "The tie is crooked."

Qin Lou glanced down.

This morning, when he was tying his tie, he really didn't put much thought into it and just tied it casually. His performance was not much better than that of a second-grade primary school student tying his own red scarf.

Qin Lou stared at the ugly tie knot for a few seconds. He reached out and picked up the end of the tie, then pulled his upper body closer to Song Shu.

Song Shu glanced at him expressionlessly, "What?"

Qin Lou didn't show any expression, but his eyes showed a bit of pretended pity and grievance. "Help me."

"Where's your right hand?"

“It’s broken.”

"…" Song Shu finally couldn't hold it back and laughed at him, "Just for a tie, you really are willing to give it up? If it's broken, forget it. Why wear a tie anymore?"

Having said that, Song Shu had already walked around the general manager's desk and came to the swivel chair where Qin Lou was sitting.

She reached out and hooked Qin Lou's tie, untied it and tied it again. Just when she was halfway through tying it, a noise similar to a quarrel suddenly came from outside the office. Even in the office with excellent sound insulation, she could hear the sound outside getting closer and closer -

"Minister Luan, you can't go in directly! Minister Luan..."

Song Shu's fingers stopped. She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Lou for a second, then let go and tried to retreat.

Unfortunately, it was too late - the one second of eye contact was enough for Qin Lou to realize her intention. Interest flashed in his eyes, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Song Shu's hand that was still holding his tie, and pulled him back.

At the same time, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Minister Luan—"

Xu Jiajia's anxious voice stopped at the door of the office. Seeing the door that had been pushed open by Luan Qiaoqing with an ugly face and the two people with ambiguous figures behind the desk, Xu Jiajia lowered her head quickly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, Minister Luan insisted on coming in, and I didn't stop him."

Song Shukong slowly tightened Qin Lou's tie with an expressionless face. He held back his laughter and said, "Okay, I understand. Go back to work."

Only then did Xu Jiajia carefully close the door and leave.

Only Luan Qiaoqing was left standing there, her figure stiff and her face pale and almost blue.

Song Shu quickly tied Qin Lou's tie, then lowered his head and gave him a warning look without saying a word.

Qin Lou didn't let go.

Song Shu could only pry open the slender fingers that were tightly clenched around his wrist one by one and pull his hand out.

Qin Lou sighed regretfully, turned his head and looked at Luan Qiaoqing, his smile faded, and he frowned, "Why are you running up here so early on Monday morning?"

"..." Song Shu glanced at him expressionlessly.

Qin Lou thought about it and changed his words, "Why are you coming up here so early on Monday morning and throwing a tantrum like a child?"

Only then did Song Shu look away.

If it were normal, Luan Qiaoqing would probably be disgusted by the clingy nature of these two people, but she was not in the mood for that at the moment.

After Song Shu walked around Qin Lou, she strode to the desk and slammed the document in her hand onto the table.

"Chu Xiangbin resigned?!"

"..." Qin Lou's eyes flickered with viciousness.

Song Shu also frowned slightly, "Minister Luan, please pay attention to the attitude you speak."

Luan Qiaoqing, who was about to continue her rampage, received a warning from Qin Lou's gaze that made her feel cold on her back, and she subconsciously shrank her neck.

But those emotions were suppressed by Qin Lou in an instant.

He slowly leaned forward, propped up his elbows on the table, and rubbed his sore neck. After a few seconds, Qin Lou said lazily: "It's written clearly in black and white, and you still want me to read it to you word by word?"

Luan Qiaoqing's momentum was much weaker than when she came, but she still raised her neck unwillingly, "But I'm the head of the Human Resources Department. I didn't get any notice, and I didn't hire a suitable successor in advance to take over the job - how could he just go through the resignation procedures and leave?"

"He handed in his resignation last week. I approved his personnel documents. His work is directly related to Lv Yunkai and the director of the investment department. Doesn't the investment and development department have a deputy director? He will take over the work temporarily."

"But this... this is totally against the rules!"

"Special people, special situations, special treatment."

"What kind of special person is he? What kind of special situation is this?"

"… "

Luan Qiaoqing's relentless pressure finally made Qin Lou lose his patience, and he glanced at her coldly.

"The matter has been settled. There is no point in pursuing it. Instead of coming to my office to question me, you might as well find a headhunter to find a suitable successor as soon as possible."

Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth in anger, "I am the head of the Human Resources Department. I have the right and need to know the exact details of the personnel transfer."

"You don't need to."

"!" Luan Qiaoqing was so angry that her face turned pale.

Qin Lou looked even more unfriendly than her. "I am the one who gives orders in the company system. I don't have to ask for your consent for every matter or every personnel transfer. I can still make the decision. If you feel uncomfortable with the position of HR director, I can always replace you with someone else."

"… "

Luan Qiaoqing froze in place.

After all, it was an internal matter of VIO, and Song Shu didn't want to take sides at this time. But when she saw Luan Qiaoqing looking so tense but not knowing that she looked like she was about to cry at any time, she still felt a little bit reluctant.

Song Shu coughed lightly.

Qin Lou raised his eyes, and the moment their eyes met, he knew what Song Shu wanted to express without her saying anything.

Qin Lou suppressed the coldness between his brows and softened his tone.

"If you have no other questions, you can go back."

"… "

Luan Qiaoqing stood there stiffly for a few seconds, then slowly nodded, turned around and walked out.

As she walked to the office door, her steps slowed down until she finally stopped.

Luan Qiaoqing held the metal handle of the frosted glass door of the office. After a long silence, she finally asked, "I just want to know why he suddenly resigned... Wasn't he still involved in the development of derivatives? At this critical time, shouldn't we try to avoid personnel transfers..."

Qin Lou paused, then raised his eyes, "What do you want to ask?"

Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth, mustered up her courage, turned around and looked at Qin Lou.

"There's a rumor in the company that someone saw him at Qinrui. Did he...did he really defect to Qinrui?"

When she said the last sentence, whether out of anger or for some other reason, Luan Qiaoqing clenched her hands tightly and her whole body was shaking.

Song Shu lowered his eyes helplessly.

Qin Lou was silent for two seconds, sneered, and turned his eyes away. "So what if it is so? Will Vio be unable to operate without someone or because of someone's betrayal?"

"But his resignation now involves new product development—"

"Those are not the HR department's business!" Qin Lou slammed the table.

Luan Qiaoqing was startled and stood there in a daze for a long time, as if she was frightened to death.

After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses, lowered her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I know... I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I lost my composure."

After saying that, Luan Qiaoqing opened the door and ran away without looking back.

The office was silent for a few seconds, and Qin Lou raised his hand with some displeasure, trying to loosen his tie. But when he thought that Song Shu had just tied it for him, Qin Lou's hand stopped again, and after hesitating for two seconds, he put it down.

He leaned back in his chair, somewhat irritably.

Song Shu walked over, stood behind the chair, and stretched out his hand to massage Qin Lou's temples.

"Perhaps you are right. Qiaoqiao is not suitable for the position of head of the Human Resources Department. Even if you take care of her, there is no need to arrange such a position for her."

As soon as Song Shu's fingertips touched him, Qin Lou's frown relaxed. After a few seconds, he slowly relaxed his consciousness and then chuckled.

"If she is not given the position of head of the HR department, she may be kicked out of the company by the HR department in a few days."

Song Shu smiled and said, "It must have been too hard for you to deal with her in the past few years."

“… She’s never been so noisy before.”

"Hmm? With her temper, she's never been so violent before? That's a bit surprising."

"She doesn't dare." Qin Lou sneered, "Maybe now she has your support, I think she's so brave that I'm about to blow her up into a balloon and send her to the sky."

Song Shu pretended not to understand, "I support her? She and I are almost on the same level in terms of rank."

"But you can persuade others."

“… … ”

Song Shu choked, and after a few seconds, her face turned red little by little.

"If you were in ancient times, you would definitely be a tyrant."

"Then what are you, a demon concubine transformed from a clam shell?"

This sentence finally pushed Song Shu to the extreme of her forbearance. She stretched out her hand to push Qin Lou away and cursed softly, "Get lost."

"… "

Qin Lou succeeded and laughed in a low, hoarse, happy voice.

In the evening, the lights in the general manager's office went out.

Song Shu and Qin Lou walked out together. An Xingyun was the only one who hadn't finished get off work in the assistant secretary group. When Song Shu passed by, he bowed his head and greeted him obediently. Then, in front of An Xingyun's helpless eyes, Qin Lou unscrupulously hooked his finger and led him to the elevator.

After entering the elevator, the two were about to speak when the door to the fire escape stairs suddenly opened and Luan Qiaoqing walked out.

Song Shu was stunned for a moment, "Why are you... here?"

"I'm waiting for you." Luan Qiaoqing's eyes turned red. "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Shall we go out together?"

Song Shu hesitated, "But I already have an appointment with... him tonight."

Luan Qiaoqing looked like she was about to burst into tears any second.

Song Shu had a headache, but Qin Lou was unmoved, "We have already booked a table at the restaurant, you wait in line, let's do it another day."

Luan Qiaoqing gritted her teeth and said, "I won't."

Qin Lou frowned, "You dare not even listen to me, right?"

Luan Qiaoqing stiffened her neck and said, "It's after get off work now. You're not my boss anymore. Why should I listen to you?"

"… "

Qin Lou narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Seeing that the smell of sex was getting stronger, Song Shu had to stop it. She turned slightly to avoid Luan Qiaoqing's gaze and communicated with Qin Lou through her lips, "Let her go with us."

Qin Lou frowned, "... She might mess things up."

"Maybe it will help?"

"… "

After thinking for a few seconds, Qin Lou nodded and looked at Luan Qiaoqing with a warning, "Don't do this again."

Only then did Luan Qiaoqing calm down and calm down.

Half an hour later.

Qin Lou's driver took the three people to a private chef restaurant in Q City.

This restaurant is extremely expensive and has very limited public awareness. It is usually a place where you can't find the door even if you have money.

The restaurant's decoration is in the style of Suzhou gardens, with bamboo forests and streams separating the cruise ship promenade and pavilions from various dining areas, providing excellent privacy and viewing experience.

The only drawback is that the winding paths in the garden are not easy to walk on.

Qin Lou had just walked into the garden not long ago, when he came to a three-way fork in the road, he saw another group of people coming towards him.

The two sides looked at each other.

Luan Qiaoqing saw clearly the person at the front of the group of people opposite.

She froze and gritted her teeth after a few seconds.

"Chu, Xiang, Bin!"

The author has something to say: Chu Xiangbin: …slipped away.
