Chapter 51 Snaps
Regarding the approval of "Qin Qing" being transferred to the 22nd floor general manager assistant secretary group, the Human Resources Department gave the approval results within a week - this disappointed the employees in the company who were originally waiting to see Luan Qiaoqing and "Qin Qing" and the conflict.
After the approval of the Ministry of Human Resources, Song Shu was transferred to the 22nd floor completely for sure. There is nothing more to do. All that is left is some basic processes.
This includes a post-service conversation from the head of the Assistant Secretary Group.
Job interviews are usually conducted by direct superiors for new employees. In a special place in the Assistant Secretary Group, the special assistant An Xingyun is responsible for it.
On the day Song Shu was officially transferred, all the assistant team in the 22nd floor were present, and she held a small welcome party that was at least quite happy on the surface.
During this period, the only one who had a stern face was An Xingyun.
For this reason, Xu Jiajia came over to comfort Song Shu: "Don't worry, Sister An has such a personality. When you get in touch with her more at work in the future, you will think she is not bad."
The little girl in front of her couldn't see any sneaky outside the general manager's office that day. Song Shu looked at her for a few seconds, and there was no flaw or flaw in the other person's eyes. After two seconds of silence, Song Shu lowered his eyes and smiled.
"Well, Assistant An is a senior in the workplace. No matter what her attitude towards me, I will respect her."
Xu Jiajia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
In addition to An Xingyun and Xu Jiajia, the other three assistants also expressed varying degrees of gratitude to Song Shu for the arrival.
What’s interesting is that the other three people also mentioned An Xingyun intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were afraid that Song Shu would not be able to detect An Xingyun’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards her.
With perfunctory response on his face, Song Shu felt a little indifferent: Whether it was the attitude of some senior executives or the people in the assistant secretary group for personal gain, there was obviously no one who wanted to keep the water and fire inseparable. An Xingyun, who was not good at using soft and hard, sat down in the position of the general manager's special assistant.
She had to remind Aunt An to be careful.
The small welcome party ended, and An Xingyun, who greeted Song Shu at first, finally responded. She stood up, raised her eyelids, and glanced at Song Shu lightly.
"You have a job talk, come with me."
"Okay, Assistant An."
Song Shu nodded and followed.
The two kept a certain distance and left the office area of the assistant secretary group. An Xingyun walked in front and turned around and entered a small conference room on the 22nd floor.
Song Shu followed in and glanced at the corner of the conference room. After confirming that the conference room An Xingyun brought her to was indeed not monitored, she turned around and closed the door and locked it silently.
At this time, An Xingyun, who had already stopped in front of the window, turned around and saw her movements, her originally frozen and cold expression melting like ice and snow.
An Xingyun waved and smiled, "When all four of them are here, no one dares to come alone."
Song Shu nodded in agreement, "It's better just in case."
"Well, it's better to be cautious."
Both of them finally stopped in front of the window of this small conference room.
An Xingyun got straight to the point: "I won't say anything about the clichés in my post. It's a very important thing to come to you today."
Song Shu looked up curiously, "What can't be said on the phone?"
An Xingyun frowned, and she turned her head and stared at Song Shu for two seconds, "Please promise me, don't be impulsive after I tell you this matter. After going back to discuss it with Yu Yuntao, we will make a decision."
Seeing how much An Xingyun attaches importance to this matter, Song Shu nodded, "Okay."
"...I got news yesterday that the drunk driver in your car accident nine years ago was released on medical parole yesterday due to illness."
“——!”
Song Shu suddenly looked up.
A few dozen seconds later, she frowned again with her thin eyebrows and looked back with thoughtful eyes.
"So coincidental? It happened to be at this time."
"Yes, I think it's coincidental." An Xingyun frowned and looked out the window. "In the past nine years, he was as quiet as a dead person. There was no news, and there was not even a single person to visit. However, when you returned to China for a month or two, you suddenly went on medical parole."
Song Shu's eyes shook slightly, "This person has been in prison all these years?"
"Of course. Qin Lou investigated your car accident and forced all kinds of evidence to characterize this drunk driving accident as an impulse murder case, and put the man in prison - I have to thank Qin Lou for this matter. If it weren't for him, then this person would probably have escaped our surveillance now and disappeared without a trace in this world."
Song Shu unconsciously stroked her fingertips. After thinking for a few seconds, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up, "Aunt An, your attitude towards this matter seems not optimistic?"
An Xingyun turned around and looked at her deeply, "Just like your first reaction, I also think this incident is a bit strange."
"You mean... someone dug a trap? Just like I appeared in their vision and gave them the greatest uncertainty and anxiety, and this man was the bait they gave us?"
An Xingyun nodded and frowned, "If this is the case, then once someone approaches this man, no matter who it is - they will think of you. At that time, your identity will change from vague to certain - your situation will become very dangerous!"
"I don't care about the danger, I care more about whether the goal can be achieved." Song Shu said.
An Xingyun frowned, "Do you remember how you promised me just now?"
Song Shu's thoughts were interrupted and he raised his eyes helplessly, "Aunt An, even if this is a trap, I have to try it. As long as we can get the confession of this person, we will have the most direct and powerful evidence, and we may be able to directly catch one of the hands. This will be the most straightforward testimony in court in the future - compared with such benefits, a certain risk is worth it. Even if we have a 1% chance, we should try it."
"But your risk is to suppress your own safety, I don't agree!"
Song Shu was quiet for a few seconds and said with a faint smile: "Since I chose to return to China, from the time I stepped into Vio, my safety has long been suppressed. The reason why they still remained still is that they do not want to create troubles - but it is impossible to make mistakes without moving, and it is even more impossible to leave traces. What we want is their movements and mistakes? Isn't this the purpose and reason for me to come back to China and personally participate in it and come to them?"
“—So from the beginning I simply disagree with your plan!”
“…”
The conversation between the two was at a deadlock.
It was quiet in the small conference room for a while, but Song Shu spoke and broke the silence.
She smiled, "Then let's call Uncle Yu to discuss this matter as you said."
An Xingyun hesitated and thought for a few seconds, but nodded and agreed.
A few minutes later.
Song Shu stood by the door with laughter and cry, listening to An Xingyun in the room, talking to the person opposite the old-fashioned phone in his hand in a grumpy voice: "——Are you crazy?! How can she let this matter go? If something happens, how can we explain to Bai Song!?"
On the opposite side of the phone, Yu Yuntao's voice was calm, "If you don't agree, she really won't go? Even if she doesn't go today, can you guarantee that she will not choose something that needs to take greater risks just to get the answer she wants to know today?"
An Xingyun silently looked down.
Yu Yuntao sighed across the phone, "How stubborn is this child? Can't you see that over the years? Follow her, we can't stop this matter, and we have no right to stop it - what we can do is to take care of her as much as we can and help her accomplish what she wants. If there is a risk, help her eliminate it, and if there is a trap, help her get out of it - what else can we do?"
“…”
An Xingyun was silent for a long time and hung up the phone.
She stood alone in front of the window for two minutes before finally turning around and looking at Song Shu.
Song Shu walked back to An Xingyun from the door of the conference room. She smiled faintly, "Aunt An, how have you discussed with Uncle Yu?"
"..." An Xingyun glanced at her, "You knew Yu Yuntao would agree, right?"
Song Shu smiled but said nothing.
An Xingyun snorted coldly, "He said righteousness, and he said it all for you! If you want me to see, he is obviously resentful to your mother's death, and he only wants to take revenge. If he is crazy, he will take his juniors together!"
Song Shu lowered his eyes, "If you say this, it will be sad to hear Uncle Yu."
"Sad?" An Xingyun was obviously very angry today and sneered again, "What kind of heart will he hurt? I think there is only a cold stone left in his arms, so how can he have the heart!"
Song Shu saw that even if she persuaded her, she would only make An Xingyun even more unhappy and complained more towards Yu Yuntao. So she had to smile bitterly and stop the words she didn't say.
An Xingyun frowned and wandered in the room for a long time before stopping in front of Song Shu again.
"It's okay to do this, but do you have to go there in person? We can definitely find someone else-"
"Aunt An," Song Shu interrupted her and whispered, "Don't talk about what we are planning. The fewer people know, the better. I only talk about the purpose and the result-I went to find out the real reason why he drove me to the car. Even if he committed intentional murder by someone maliciously instigating someone, this will still become a future evidence of the court."
"Then why do you have to take risks yourself? You can go there with someone else..."
Song Shu shook his head, "I can only give the greatest chance of getting an answer - whether he thinks I am dead or may still be alive, my appearance will give him the greatest impact - under such an impact, no matter whether he is coercive or tempted, he is most likely to tell the truth about that incident back then."
“…”
After a few seconds of silence, An Xingyun gritted his teeth, "So your intention to leave has been decided?"
Song Shu didn't say anything, but just looked at An Xingyun helplessly.
"—I can't stop you. But we have something to say clearly. He will not only take medical parole for one or two days, you are not allowed to worry - we must make up for this matter!"
Song Shu nodded with a smile, "Everyone listens to Aunt An."
An Xingyun glared at her, turned his head and walked out with a calm expression.
As soon as Song Shu took office, Qin Lou went out for half a week to do business, and he didn't even take any assistant.
On the last day when Qin Lou was about to come back, Song Shu finally obtained An Xingyun's final agreement and went to the designated hospital where the drunk driver was located at around 8 o'clock that morning.
When she went there, Song Shu was very cautious and fully armed herself—a mask, sunglasses, baseball cap, and hoodies. She only set off and left after ensuring that she was covered tightly.
After arriving at the hospital, Song Shu did not rush to get off the bus.
She sat in the back row of the taxi and quietly observed the entrance and exit of the hospital for a long time. She had not seen anyone with abnormal whereabouts nearby. She then paid the driver more and got off the car.
The traffic flow of people in hospitals of Q City is very high, and it is not uncommon for departments with more patients to rank a number and wait for two weeks.
Although today is just a weekday morning, there are already so many people coming in and out.
This is obviously good news for Song Shu. This means that even if the person in front of him is really a trap of peeping into her identity, the difficulty of the other party in controlling and discovering her has been greatly improved.
After entering the outpatient building, Song Shu pretended to walk to the sign to confirm the medical treatment process, and quickly passed through the information An Xingyun confirmed with her in his mind.
