When Qin Lou came back, he passed by the assistant secretary group's work area. Only Song Shu and An Xingyun were there. An Xingyun and Xu Jiajia were supposed to be on duty today, but something "accident" happened in the morning -
The first thing Qin Lou did after coming down from the 23rd floor was to call Xu Jiajia into his office, enumerate all the mistakes she had made since she started working there, and then fire her without hesitation.
After receiving the notification from An Xingyun, Song Shu rushed to the company as soon as possible, but he only had time to pass by Xu Jiajia, who was crying bitterly, in the elevator.
The little girl who had been hiding in front of her for so long gave her an extremely annoyed look before leaving, probably blaming her for the result - this made Song Shu feel a little regretful.
She still liked the kind of ending that had a good beginning and a good end, so she pretended not to notice Xu Jiajia's strange behavior from the beginning.
Regarding this "expulsion incident" that was not in the planned steps, Qin Lou explained that everything had been pushed forward to the last step, and he must ensure the purity of the revolutionary team.
The person has already gone to resign, and Song Shu knows that it is useless to say more, so he can only acquiesce helplessly.
When Qin Lou passed by, An Xingyun was "educating" Song Shu in the work area: "The board of directors has buried this nail for so long, no matter how annoying it is, we have endured it until now. Originally, it might have played a role in something else, but you just let it be pulled out so casually?"
"Auntie An, after all, he is the general manager."
"Even if he is the general manager, you will play with him when he is playing? He is only 26 or 27 years old, why do you have to coax him like a child and spoil him like this?"
Song Shu spoke well of Qin Lou: "Qin Lou still considers the overall situation and has been patient until now. Now it has come to the last link, so why not be willful?"
"... You." An Xingyun looked at Song Shu with a look of disappointment. "He has a temper that no one can control except you. I had hoped that with you around, he would be more restrained. Now it seems that you are clearly an accomplice to the evil. If this continues, I think he will be spoiled by you first."
Song Shu smiled but said nothing.
Qin Lou, who was standing outside the work area, couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and knocked on the open glass door of the work area.
Song Shu and An Xingyun turned around when they heard the voice and saw the man they were talking about a second ago leaning against the door, smiling lazily, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Assistant Ante, isn't it bad to talk about your boss behind his back?"
An Xingyun had a calm expression. Seeing Qin Lou's emotions, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Even in front of you, Mr. Qin, I can still say these words - so I'm not talking behind your back."
Qin Lou raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but suppressed his thoughts.
An Xingyun didn't give him face. He raised his eyelids, his eyes as calm as a well: "Mr. Qin, do you want to listen to it again from the beginning?"
"… No."
An Xingyun was an employee of the same period as Bai Song, and could be considered a veteran of the company. Moreover, she was very capable at work, and with her around, the assistant secretary team could reduce Qin Lou's workload by more than half - it was also because of this that such an old man who did not suit Qin Lou's temperament could sit firmly in the position of special assistant.
However, Qin Lou was not so obedient in the past. At most, he kept a distance from An Xingyun. He only learned from Song Shu that An Xingyun was an old friend of Bai Song, and was also one of Song Shu's saviors. Therefore, Qin Lou now respects her more.
Qin Lou, who wanted to speak up for his little clam, hit a wall for once. He stood by the door without saying a word, just looking at Song Shu quietly.
Song Shu was used to his shamelessness, but An Xingyun couldn't stand it. She rarely showed any expression, frowned and turned to look at Song Shu, "Is he in trouble?"
Song Shu was particularly unwilling to give face at this time. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but his tone was indifferent: "If he has something serious to say, he will bring it up with confidence - he will only do this when he can't find an excuse."
An Xingyun was silent for a few seconds, feeling sick of the gaze that affected her. She reached out and took the folder from Song Shu's hand, which contained examples of financial bills similar to the case of that year, and pointed outside the door.
"Then you should take him back and don't let him get in the way here."
"… "
After the elder spoke, Song Shu had no choice but to stand up, walk to the door and "carry" the successful person back to the general manager's office.
"Is Chu Xiangbin gone?" Song Shu closed the door of the general manager's office and turned around to ask Qin Lou.
"No," Qin Lou, who was waiting for her by the door, said, "I sent her to the elevator and happened to meet Luan Qiaoqing coming up."
Song Shu was stunned, "Then what?"
"I'll let them talk."
"… You just left them there and came back?"
"Um."
"Then have you explained our plan to Qiaoqiao, or told her that Chu Xiangbin is actually a double agent and she misunderstood him before?"
Qin Lou shook his head contentedly, "No."
Song Shu: “…”
Song Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aren't you afraid that Qiaoqiao will do something to Chu Xiangbin in the elevator later, causing a tragedy?"
"It's not me, what should I be afraid of?"
“… … ”
Song Shu was completely speechless.
The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Song Shu tapped his forehead expressionlessly and turned away. "Will your hostility towards Qiaoqiao never disappear?"
"You just found out." Qin Lou snorted and laughed, "I have an instinctive aversion to all creatures with low IQs. We are not in the same genome group, so there is no way for us to communicate."
"… "
"Moreover, ever since Luan Qiaoqing occupied most of your time, she and I have formed a 'lifelong feud'."
Song Shu finally couldn't help laughing, "You are too childish and too vindictive, Qin Lou."
Qin Lou had always readily accepted all of Song Shu's comments. When he heard this, he did not refute it, but tacitly agreed with her words, as if letting her say whatever she wanted.
Song Shu thought about it and felt more confident in Chu Xiangbin's personal abilities. A naive girl like Luan Qiaoqing would most likely be fooled and be at a loss in front of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with its foxy mind, so he felt a little relieved.
She looked up at Qin Lou, "Have you discussed compensation with Chu Xiangbin?"
"Yeah." Qin Lou nodded, his expression nonchalant and lazy, "Isn't it for him, Luan Qiaoqing?"
“…Qinlou.”
"I've given him a chance - if my guess is correct, Chu Xiangbin will definitely not explain the misunderstanding to Luan Qiaoqing in the elevator right now."
Song Shu was stunned, "Why?"
"Guilt." Qin Lou uttered the word in a low voice, "This is a sharp weapon. If you grasp it well, Chu Xiangbin will have a real chance to completely capture that silly girl in the future."
"Can guilt be exploited to that extent?"
"Of course." Qin Lou leaned close to Song Shu's ear and laughed hoarsely, "After all... you women are too soft-hearted."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shu calmly raised his fair hand and pushed the handsome face away.
Qin Lou was not surprised and stood up with regret.
"You are an exception."
Song Shu glanced at him with a half-smile, then said seriously, "What compensation did you give Chu Xiangbin? He has made an indelible contribution to this matter, and he is indeed a rare talent. I don't think you will not take action."
"… I will reinstate him." Qin Lou said frankly. "Then when the dust settles, I will buy back the shares of those directors who were implicated, and I will give him a small portion."
Song Shu was a little surprised to hear the last sentence, but after thinking for two seconds, she suddenly realized, "You still hope that he will take over Lu Yunkai's class."
"Lv Yunkai is not young anymore, it's time for him to retire."
"… You don't have a problem with him because he stood aside and watched the case back then, do you?"
Qin Lou did not answer, but lowered his eyes and asked Song Shu: "Don't you have any?"
"… "
Song Shu was silent.
Of course she did - when she first found out that Lu Yunkai had some understanding of the real situation but didn't say anything, her hatred for this vice president was no less than her hatred for Lin Feng, the person who was directly related to her.
It’s just that some things, if you only consider and judge them from your own perspective, are bound to be biased.
Song Shu sighed silently, and when he looked up again, a faint smile had already filled the corners of his eyes. "At least he resolutely refused to frame my mother. We are outsiders to him after all. We have no right to ask him to take risks for outsiders, and he has no responsibility or obligation to do so. And if even he is to be blamed, then there will be too many people I have to hate but cannot retaliate against... I don't want to live such a tiring life. You don't want to live either."
After Qin Lou heard this, his eyes looked a little subtle and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Until Song Shu was a little uneasy at his gaze, "What's wrong?"
"…Nothing. I just suddenly felt that you are more like your mother in nature after all."
Song Shu was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
Qin Lou lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "After experiencing something like this, your heart and path will become wider and wider..."
Song Shu frowned.
She could tell that Qin Lou hadn't finished his words.
There is a twist in the unfinished part, and it's related to him.
After all, Song Shu was the person who knew Qin Lou best in the world. After only a dozen seconds of silence, she thought of something and her pupils suddenly shrank.
Song Shu instinctively reached out and held Qin Lou's hand.
“My way is your way.”
Qin Lou's figure froze for a moment. After a few seconds, he raised his eyes and smiled, his voice a little hoarse, "Did you hear it again?"
Song Shu slowly tightened his fingertips, "I can hear it all, I can always hear it. So even if your heart and path are narrow, it doesn't matter, because mine will become yours - our paths will always be together."
A smile slowly appeared in Qin Lou's eyes.
He leaned over, took Song Shu's hand that was holding his wrist and her whole body into his arms, and slowly wrapped them tightly.
While his heart was trembling slightly, he did not forget to lean over and joke in her ear: "See, I told you, you women are always soft-hearted."
Song Shu sighed, "What about you men? Are all of you as stubborn as you?"
Qin Lou pretended not to hear.
He tightened his arms and laughed in a hoarse voice.
"It's okay for others to be soft-hearted, but not for you, little clam. If you are soft-hearted, I will probably pry open your clam shell and eat you."
"… "
After a few seconds.
A muffled groan of pain was heard from the general manager's office on the 22nd floor, and the tail end of the sound turned into a joyful laugh.
Qin Lou originally planned to go abroad in person to "bring" Qin Fujun back to China, in order to prepare the witness needed for the last step in clearing the injustice and overturning the case.
However, before the end of the third quarter of the year, Qin Lou received news: Qin Liang had secretly brought Qin Fujun back to the country.
There are many people in vio, and the top management is not clean. After Qin Lou learned the news, he made an appointment with Qin Liang at the old side house of the Qin family - which was also the place where he and Song Shu lived together when they were young.
Now everyone in the company, and even in and outside the industry, knows that Qin Lou is very "close" to his new assistant and almost never leaves his side.
In order to conceal his tracks, this time Qin Lou came out to meet Qin Liang and Qin Fujun, father and daughter, who had secretly returned to the country. Song Shu deliberately stayed in the company, pretending that Qin Lou had been in the office all the time.
An Xingyun was responsible for guarding outside, while Song Shu would go in and out of the office to help "deliver" messages or documents to the management of Qin Building.
A whole morning passed and no one knew that the 22nd floor was playing the empty city trick.
This house in the suburbs has always been under Qin Lou's name, but it was later left vacant and uninhabited. Although there are guards who regularly clean and trim the flowers and plants, when you walk in, you can still feel the dead silence in the courtyard.
Qin Liang returned to the country secretly this time. In addition to Qin Fujun, he only brought a confidant with him. The people guarding the house were sent away in advance, and Qin Lou followed behind Qin Liang's confidant to meet the two.
Qin Liang and Qin Fujun were both in the backyard.
The man led Qin Lou to the pavilion in the backyard where the two of them were sitting, then turned and left.
Qin Liang heard the noise early in the morning. He turned around and watched his grandson approaching step by step. Without even looking at him, he sat down diagonally opposite him with drooped eyelids.
Qin Fujun beside him stood there like a piece of wood or stone, motionless, no longer caring about anything happening in the outside world.
The Qin family only has three people left in his generation. He is getting old, Qin Fujun is facing imprisonment for his crimes, and Qin Lou seems to never forgive him as a grandfather...
Qin Liang suddenly started coughing and his face turned red.
The dead silence under the pavilion was broken. Qin Lou raised his eyelids, looked at Qin Liang, and spoke in a flat voice:
"Before I came, she told me to be nicer to you. She said that you are my grandfather after all, and you have never treated me harshly. She asked me not to argue with you, an old man who loves his daughter so much."
Qin Liang slowly suppressed his cough, "Song Shu, you have always been a good boy."
"You should have praised Bai Song in the same way before."
“…!”
This name not only made Qin Liang freeze, but even Qin Fujun, who seemed to have lost his soul, had his eyes tremble slightly.
The fingers hanging on her legs unconsciously tensed a little.
Qin Lou didn't care about their reactions at all. Even if he saw them, he just glanced past them indifferently.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes drifted away, and there was no smile in his eyes, "If you have praised her, then you should stop praising Song Shu like this. I feel so disappointed for her."
Qin Liang slowly recovered from his stiffness, and his voice carried the old age and calmness that was unique to an old man.
"I know you won't forgive me. I know exactly what kind of person you are."
"If you knew that, why did you bring her back in person? It seemed like you were trying to please me, to ease the relationship, and you created this awkward situation?"
Qin Lou's words were so sharp that he left no room for mercy.
Qin Liang sighed slowly: "It's nothing. I'm old now, and the dirt is almost covering my head. I just want to see you guys are safe and sound. I don't care if you blame me or hate me... I just have to seek some peace of mind. I will go down to see Bai Song eventually."
Qin Lou looked back upon hearing this and laughed mockingly: "What do you mean by that? Can you admit your mistakes and correct them?"
Qin Liang also smiled, but his face was sad and miserable. "I know, I can't change it - maybe I was wrong in the beginning. If I was right, I wouldn't have taught you such an aunt, and I wouldn't have let her do such evil things that disregard family affection and human nature... I am incompetent, whether as a father, as a grandfather, or as the head of the Qin family."
“… … ”
At a certain moment, the emotions in Qin Lou's eyes shook violently, like the crumbling lights on a tall building that was about to collapse.
But it finally became quiet.
After the silence subsided, he began to laugh. He was the only one laughing, Qin Liang watched, and Qin Fujun listened.
In the huge backyard and the empty Qin family home, the laughter seemed to pass through the pavilions and corridors, bringing up all the sour, bitter, hurt and memories of these years.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Qin Lou seemed to have run out of energy from laughing. He leaned back on the armrest of the pavilion, his body tilted in an awkward sitting position, looking at Qin Fujun with a mixture of laughter and hatred.
"He admitted his mistake, so do you have anything else to say?"
"… "
Qin Fujun slowly turned his head and looked at him.
There was an indifferent, lifeless silence in his eyes, without even the slightest emotion, not even hatred.
Qin Lou smiled, "It seems that you have nothing to say. That's good, because no matter what you say, it will be a waste of words - just remember your two children, and for their sake, you must also remember what crimes you have committed. It won't be long before I give you a chance to point out those who conspired with you back then, and then spend the rest of your life in prison."
Qin Lou leaned forward, the corners of his mouth curled up, and every word he spoke was like a sharp blade that drew blood.
"Aunt, you will have a long time to remember that for yourself and your children, you tore several families apart and turned their children into monsters that were neither human nor ghost."
After Qin Lou finished speaking, the smile suddenly disappeared from his face like a cracked mask.
He stood up expressionlessly and slowly straightened his slightly wrinkled suit and slightly crooked tie and buttons.
After doing all this, he walked out of the pavilion expressionlessly, as if he had not said anything and had not met anyone, and slowly walked down the three steps.
When he reached the last step, Qin Lou suddenly stopped.
After standing with his back to the pavilion for a few seconds, he turned around and looked at the two of them.
"Although I don't want to admit it, there is a question that has been buried in my heart since I found out it was you. It has puzzled me for many years..."
Qin Lou laughed again.
"Since you deliberately concealed the fact that I was still alive and wished that I would be tortured to death in that orphanage, why don't you just do it?"
Qin Fujun's pupils trembled slightly.
Qin Lou was still smiling, his voice so gentle that it gave people the illusion of tenderness: "Why don't you just kill me? That way you can rest easy and no longer have to worry about anyone in this world competing with you for the Qin family's property - and you don't have to worry about Bai Song anymore, and you don't have to commit such a crime later - and finally force her family to be destroyed!"
At the end of his words, Qin Lou screamed as hard as he could. Light blue veins bulged on his cold white forehead, and his handsome face looked hideous and terrifying.
—This is the deepest hidden wound that has been gnawing at his heart since he discovered the truth.
So much so that Qin Lou couldn't help but torture himself in his heart every time he saw Song Shu in pain, sadness, or even despair: If he had died when he was still a child, would there not have been so many things that happened later, and would Song Shu not have to be so sad
Qin Lou's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse like some kind of mournful cry, but he was smiling.
"It was a foreign country anyway, and I was an orphan with no one to rely on. It would be no harder to kill me in an accident than to crush an ant. Since you hated my existence so much, why didn't you just kill me? If you killed me, would what happened later have happened, and would you have ended up like this?!"
“… I regret it too!”
Qin Fujun suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice. She was still sitting there, but staring at Qin Lou with tears and hatred in her eyes.
"If I had known this day would come, I would have killed you!"
"Then why not kill!"
“…!”
Qin Fujun's flushed face suddenly turned pale, she lowered her head and scratched her palm.
She didn't say anything for a long while.
Qin Lou stood still, then turned around.
Just as he was about to move, he heard Qin Fujun speak in a trembling voice:
"Because you look a lot like my brother... He is different from all of you, and he is the only one who really treats me well... But he is dead, and you are his only blood left in the world... Of course I thought about killing you! But I couldn't do it - you look so much like him, how could I possibly do it..."
Qin Lou was stunned for a long time, then let out a short, dumb laugh.
"You might as well kill me."
He turned and left.
In October, the third-quarter financial statements of various companies were released one after another, but Xiaokai Technology, which has always been early in releasing its statements, was slow to do so.
When all kinds of rumors began to spread, on October 15, the final deadline for the third quarter report, Xiaokai Technology's financial statements finally came out.
The interest rate swap transaction saw a shockingly large loss.
As soon as the report was released, Xiaokai Technology's stock price plummeted and hit the daily limit. Amid the resentment, Chairman and General Manager Deng Xiaokai announced the bankruptcy of Xiaokai Technology. At the same time, at the press conference, he angrily accused Qinrui Investment Bank of illegally concealing exchange rate risks in selling financial products and filed a lawsuit.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission and other relevant agencies intervened in the investigation at an immediate time.
However, during the investigation process in which relevant institutions intervened to obtain internal information and data, they received a report from an anonymous whistleblower. After a targeted investigation, they found that there had been huge unexplained capital flows since the beginning of the cooperation between Qinrui Investment Bank and Xiaokai Technology ten years ago. After several months of verification, they found that most of them could be traced back to the Ponzi scheme that shocked the industry that year, and were related to the missing funds involved in the case.
As new developments in the case came out, the industry was once again in an uproar.
The relevant departments immediately set up a special task force based on the existing evidence to re-investigate the major financial case of that year.
At this time, Qin Fujun, who claimed to be the main person involved in the case that year, voluntarily surrendered to the police and confessed to several accomplices, including Chang Jianfeng and Chang Ting, father and son of Qinrui Investment Bank, Deng Xiaokai, the former general manager of Qin and current chairman and general manager of Xiaokai Technology, Lin Feng, the current deputy general manager of VIO Capital, and several members of the VIO Capital board of directors.
The number of people involved in the case is shocking.
Following Qin Fujun, several senior executives of the Qin Group at that time, represented by Qin Liang, the former chairman of the Qin Group, Lv Yunkai, the current deputy general manager of VIO Capital, and An Xingyun, the current special assistant to the general manager of VIO Capital, appeared, indicating that Bai Song, who committed suicide in the Ponzi scheme case that year, was indeed framed.
Bai Song's attorney in the case, lawyer Qiao Tianbo, who has now changed his name to Yu Yuntao, also produced evidence from years of search and recordings of Bai Song, which was the final step in finalizing the case.
Not long ago, Raymond Lam, who was the first person to accept bribes and frame Bai Song for the crime, confessed to his crimes and also identified Deng Xiaokai and several senior members of the Qin Group's board of directors as his direct instigator.
The financial transactions and confessions collected by Yu Qinrui were irrefutable evidence. Deng Xiaokai and others confessed their crimes one after another and blamed each other, clarifying all the people involved in the case that year.
At the end of the year, this major financial case was reopened for trial.
All the persons involved in the case are in custody and sentenced according to law.
At this point, the injustice in the Bai Song case was revealed to the world.
The author has something to say: After the main storyline of clearing the wrongs is over, there are still tens of thousands of words of love and family to wrap up, so the whole story will not be finished so soon.
