Chapter 50 Appointment

The few people stayed for several seconds before they realized that in the driver's seat of the car in front of them, the decadent and beautiful young man who was lying on the steering wheel with his tie tilted and unbuttoned two shirts, and was a little disheveled, was Qin Lou, the general manager of their company.

The air was frozen for a few seconds, and a low voice came from the colleagues standing in the back row.

"The general manager personally acted as a driver for her and waited for three hours. What level of treatment is this?"

"Level? Mr. Qin himself is the chairman, and there is no such treatment in the senior management."

"As long as you have a suitable face, you will have everything... Xiaoyun is in trouble this time. As soon as he offended Qin Qing, Mr. Qin came out. If Qin Qing had the wind blowing around her pillow tonight, she would have to roll the bed and leave tomorrow, right?"

"This month, seeing Qin Qing being too busy by Team Leader Chu, I thought President Qin had become less interested in her, but I didn't expect... Fortunately, we didn't talk much just now."

“…”

During those conversations that were so low that they could not hear clearly, some of them reacted quickly and quickly stepped forward and smiled flatteringly in the car: "Mr. Qin, why did you come here in person, I don't know if we say anything, otherwise how dare we let you wait downstairs?"

“…”

Qin Lou raised his eyes without interest and glanced at the man, and his eyes fell on Song Shu. The corners of his mouth curled.

"I'm fine, so I drove out for a walk and picked Qin Qing back to the company."

Everyone: "..."

Let’s not talk about whether this “by the way” is true or not – what kind of boss-level hobby is driving for a walk?

Qin Lou said this, so it was naturally impossible for them to refute or expose it. Just now, with a few people who were ridiculed or indifferent, mixed in other kind smiles, making Song Shu unable to tell it.

"Qin Qing, Mr. Qin has come to pick you up, so you can get in the car."

"I will notify you if there is any news."

"Be careful on the road."

“…”

Among those mixed voices, Song Shu was too lazy to even smile perfunctorily. She sat in the passenger seat and tied her seat belt.

“…Go back.”

Qin Lou noticed that Song Shu was not in high spirits and didn't say much. He changed gears and stepped on the accelerator. The car slid lightly along the wide road of the porch.

The team members who were not taken care of were standing there.

Inexplicably embarrassed, Yin Jing stalemate for a few seconds, and someone muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, why are you so arrogant? She ignored us when we say goodbye to her. Do you really think that Mr. Qin came to pick her up and held her?"

"If that face didn't look like Mr. Qin's first love, would Mr. Qin look at her more?"

"Whenever Mr. Qin is no longer interested in her, and she will cry."

"that is……"

On the car.

Qin Lou asked: "Did you see Lu Yun open at tonight's celebration banquet?"

Song Shu was silent for a few seconds and nodded slowly, "Well, I saw it."

"Have you got the answer?"

"Probably... I got it."

Qin Lou heard the strangeness in Song Shu's tone, turned his eyes and looked at her, "The answer I got is different from your initial guess?"

"There was no guess at the beginning."

Song Shu slowly let out a breath. She turned her head and looked at the night outside the window, and looked at the colorful river like flowing water on the roadside. Song Shu leaned her head gently onto the seat, sighed exhausted, but the corners of her lips curled up.

She said softly: "I have never seen the other one among the two vice presidents of Vio. I have a little impression of me. I forgot when she went on a short business trip and was with a big project. I followed her and met a young man with her... At that time, I was still young, and my mother asked me to call him brother."

“…”

Qin Lou's thoughts were turning rapidly, and he could guess something at the beginning of Song Shu's words.

His eyes were slightly dark, but in the end he didn't speak, just listening to Song Shu in the car slowly speaking in a light and floating voice.

"I remember my mother praised him many times later, saying that this young man is capable and kind, and will achieve great success in the future... But in fact, I have only seen him, and I thought I had forgotten all this person's appearance."

Song Shu's voice stopped a little abruptly.

Then she laughed softly.

"But no. I haven't forgotten."

Haven't forgotten.

Tonight she stood at the long table with a glass of champagne. Lu Yunkai's words were like pouring ice water pouring her all over. At that moment, the young man's face crossed the long river of more than ten years and suddenly appeared in front of her without warning - the smile of a young man at that time, the warm hands touching her expressionless face, and his motivated and eager admiring eyes...

The biting coldness flowed into the body along every pore.

Song Shu wanted to tremble, and she wanted to laugh.

The knife that laughed at Bai Song - no matter who the person holding the knife was - was actually all the ones she tried to protect and support her former relatives and juniors!

It is the people she wants to protect and support her, and personally push her to death that is doomed and wronged.

"So I didn't think about that answer at all. Uncle Yu said that the Qin executive who secretly took a lot of prepared materials to prove his mother and wanted to testify in court was one of the two vice presidents of Vio. When I saw Raymond Lam, I told him that it could not be Raymond Lam, it must be Lu Yunkai. Raymond Lam is so upright. Everyone knows that he is selfless and treats personnel fairly and justly, so even the confidants related to his mother were implicated by him. And I have always believed that I have never considered it, and I may not allow myself to think about it. There will be other possibilities..."

Song Shu laughed softly.

"Otherwise, if he was the one who repaid his grudges and the one who pushed the only woman who had been willing to lend a helping hand to him into the hell of no return, then this would be—"

Song Shu suddenly choked.

After two seconds, she smiled again.

"Then this is really ridiculous, isn't it?" Song Shu looked back and looked at Qin Lou.

In the blurred vision, the light and shadow inside and outside the car are refracted, bent, twisted into colorful spots and colors, which also cover the figure.

Only then did Song Shu suddenly realize—

She raised her hand and touched her cold cheeks, her fingertips and palms were wet.

She lowered her head and looked blankly at the palm of her hand in the blurry field of view.

Her heart is blank now.

It was like a patient suffering from snow blindness walking alone in the heavy snow. She suddenly couldn't find any way out and could see any hope.

Twist the steering wheel to the right.

Qin Lou parked the car to the side of the road. He untied his seat belt, frowned and leaned over. He carried her into his arms, lowered his head to wipe her tears-

"Why cry?"

"Just... I feel very tired."

The tears on Song Shu's face faded as much as her emotions. For the first time, she let herself lean into Qin Lou's arms completely relying on her condition, lowering her eyes and murmured.

"The father of her daughter who wanted to protect and save her, and the younger generations she supported and protected pushed her down. All the other insiders stood indifferently on the edge of the pit, looking down at her, but no one spoke. No one, from beginning to end, such a big case, could be so fast, with complete evidence, and everyone completed the ruling by default, without encountering any obstruction or rebuttal..."

Song Shu slowly exhaled, and the breath was blocked in her chest and was depressed in her heart, which made her breathing painful.

She looked out of the cold car window with no expression, and could only lean against Qin Lou more tightly, trying to absorb the only little warmth.

"I kept thinking tonight that it would be fine if she hadn't seen those people before she died, and it would be fine if she didn't know anything. Otherwise, she would have seen the faces of those people with her own eyes, and she saw them naked after tearing off their masks. Only beasts and ugly faces were exposed. She had been so kind all her life. How desperate she should be when she saw those..."

A few fingers wide gap fell from the car window, and the wind blowing over the river that was already filled with the breath of early autumn brought coolness.

Song Shu gently shrank his shoulders.

She lowered her head, and smiled silently without emotion in her eyes.

"This world is so cold, Qinlou."

"Yes." Qin Lou responded, "Did you know?"

"I knew it before, but I didn't know it would be so cold."

Qin Lou narrowed his eyes lightly, and after a moment he turned his head, then lowered and gently kissed the girl's forehead.

"Then I'm going to be earlier. I already knew it when I was 7 years old.... The adult world is cold and boring. But then, a doll ran in."

Song Shu was slightly stunned.

Qin Lou laughed, "The doll's arms are warmer than anywhere else, especially on a thundering night, she hugged me and said, 'I'm there."

Qin Lou slowly tightened his arms and completely carried Song Shu into his arms.

He pressed his ear against her, and the soft smile of a lunatic man who had never been before.

"No matter how cold the world is, dolls-I will always be there."

In mid-October, the third-quarter reports of various companies were released one after another, and the performance appraisal of Vio in the third quarter also ended and the results were announced on the company's electronic bulletin board.

It was originally the most important time for various departments and even individuals to comment on each other's opinions, but everyone's attention was snatched away by another public announcement report issued by the assistant secretary on the 22nd floor.

The public announcement report is a lot of polite words in accordance with the articles of association, and there is only one core information: Qin Qing, an employee of the Legal Compliance Department, will be transferred to the 22nd floor assistant secretary group one week after the announcement to fill the vacancies for legal counsel and assistant compliance officers in the secretariat group.

As soon as the news came out, various departments caused an uproar.

Although the position of assistant general manager is half a level lower than that of vice president, because of direct influence and contact with the company's most core decision-making senior management, the position of assistant general manager is often regarded as a position that is a bit higher than the actual power of vice president.

However, unlike the promotion and removal of positions in other tree structures of the company, the position of assistant general manager is unique in the line, and is often directly drawn from individual departments or airborne in interviews - so there are often deviations in appointment and removal. Once this position is made mistakes, it will have a great impact on the company.

In order to avoid this kind of disaster, vio simply implemented a decentralized cooperation mechanism within the group. Although there was an general manager An Xingyun, the rest still had the power to report directly to the general manager.

The group can restrict each other and disperse the work pressure. To this day, the five assistants in the Assistant Secretary group, except for An Xingyun, who is in charge of the general, the other four have their own division of labor.

But even so, any position in the assistant secretary group is still something that all ordinary employees cannot afford.

Now, Qin Qing has been directly promoted to the 22nd floor in just over a month after entering the company. This matter is naturally widely discussed in the company.

At noon, the staff canteen gathered at a table and could hear the conversation about this matter everywhere.

"Just for a similar face, the general manager put his little lover directly into the assistant secretary team next to him? Wouldn't this news be fake?"
