Chapter 18 Obstruction (1)

The next morning.

Vio Capital 8th floor, the main floor of the Human Resources Department.

The employee's elevator made a "beep" sound, the elevator door opened, and several colleagues from the Human Resources Department walked out with a smile.

Turning from the elevator to the corner of the floor work area, several personnel department employees who had arrived earlier accumulated. They looked outside with their heads and said something to each other from time to time, almost blocking the road.

Among the people who had just left the elevator, some people asked curiously, "What are you looking at here? It's so lively?"

"Shh." Someone hooked his hand, "Sigh, the big devil is here today."

"Big Demon King? What big devil - Damn? Mr. Qin is coming down?"

"Mom, sister, please make a little noise, so that President Qin still wants to live if he hears it?"

"No... how could he come out at this time?" The man covered his mouth and quickly took out his cell phone to look at the time. "Today, August 27, it's Hell Week. Isn't Mr. Qin a week that has been 23rd floor forever, so hell is not disturbed?"

"That's why I said I was a hell today."

Several people were amazed again. A newcomer who had just joined the company this year curiously tiptoed, "Why do you call Qin Changzhang? I only heard that some people in the industry call him Lou Ye. This is the first time I heard of the title of Big Demon King."

"That's because you came to the company in the first year."

"Yes, only the employees within Vio have this name for Mr. Qin, and the time is specific. Only during this Hell Week every year can we call Mr. Qin this name. As for why..."

"It's all Hell Week, why else?"

"Yes, during the entire week starting on August 26 every year, President Qin basically locked himself on the 23rd floor and never showed up. During this period, the 23rd floor was hell, and he was the ghost guarding the hell. He had been ignorant before and went up to disturb this hell week, and the grave grass was basically three meters high."

"Hiss...it sounds really scary."

"Then you are wrong. The story behind it is not scary, it's quite touching."

"Uh-huh?"

"I heard that August 26 seems to be the birthday of President Qin's first love, and August 29 is her death day."

"Ah? Dead?"

"Yes, so after that..."

"Hey, then why did Mr. Qin come down today?"

"It's not just that I came down, but I went to Minister Luan's office."

"Tsk tsk, is this the second spring finally coming?"

"I don't think of it. Although there have been rumors about them, Mr. Qin was so gloomy today. I felt that within three meters of approaching him, I could hear the rumbling thunder above my head."

"Hahaha, you're so praising this - Minister Luan!"

As soon as the words "Minister Luan" were expressed, all the gossipers who watched the fun and discussed in a low voice were straightened and their expressions were serious.

Luan Qiaoqing, who had just left the elevator, looked bad and frowned, "What are you all standing here?"

Someone carefully pointed to the minister's office, "Qin...General Qin."

"What Mr. Qin?"

"Well, Mr. Qin is waiting for you in your office. It seems that there is something urgent."

Luan Qiaoqing was stunned, and then her face changed slightly. She quickly walked through the passage that everyone gave up and headed straight to her minister's office.

Luan Qiaoqing walked into the office, blocking the curious eyes from the door.

Luan Qiaoqing stopped at the door, and was embarrassed for a few seconds before she looked at the back and said carefully: "Brother, why are you... suddenly coming down?"

Qin Lou didn't look back. He looked out the window, his voice hoarse and exhausted: "I came from the technical department."

Luan Qiaoqing's face changed slightly.

Qin Lou asked: "I called you yesterday and asked if you have anyone been to the 23rd floor. You said no."

Luan Qiaoqing tightened her fingers and was silent.

"Then today the technical department told me that the part of the video missing from the elevator monitoring yesterday morning was something you ordered to delete."

"..." Luan Qiaoqing closed her eyes, "I'm sorry, brother."

"I don't need to be sorry." Qin Lou turned around, his face pale and his eyes were gloomy and low, "I don't give you privileges to hide me - especially in matters related to her!"

Luan Qiaoqing showed fear in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth, "This matter has nothing to do with her sister. It was me who came up yesterday. I was just afraid that you would blame me, so I asked them to delete the video!"

Qin Lou's eyes shook.

After a while, he almost squeezed out the words from his throat: "It's just that?"

"Otherwise!" Luan Qiaoqing also burst out: "Brother, what are you fantasizing about? Sister, she has been dead, she has been dead for nine years! Why do you still have to chase after you? Can you let yourself go-away-"

Luan Qiaoqing's words were not finished in the end, and she couldn't bear to finish them. In just a few words, the man's expression was so ferocious that he was almost unbearable.

Luan Qiaoqing couldn't help but turn red in her eyes. She turned her head and refused to look at the other person again.

Nine years, yes, nine years.

The Ponzi scheme case that year was shocked countless people due to the amount involved and the wide range of involvement. Many families also lost their money and separated their wives because of this scam... But time is always the fastest "good medicine".

After nine years, it seems that everyone has forgotten this.

And the only person who has never come out from beginning to end is probably Qin Lou. He doesn't even want to come out at all. He even reminds himself over and over again every year - in the most bloody way.

Luan Qiaoqing couldn't help but look at the man's wrist - the shirt there was soaked in dark red and dried blood.

Luan Qiaoqing couldn't bear it. Just as she was about to persuade Panasonic to say something again, the glass door behind her suddenly was knocked.

The assistant poked his head in fear, "Luan, Minister Luan..."

Luan Qiaoqing took a deep breath, "Mr. Qin is talking about things with me, and I will talk about it later if there is anything."

"But it was Mr. Yu from Junsheng Law Firm who called in person. He seemed to want to ask about Miss Qin Qing from their law firm. "

"I understand!" Luan Qiaoqing stopped the assistant's words in panic, turned her head and glared at the other party fiercely, "Click the phone in."

The assistant retracted innocently, "Okay."

Luan Qiaoqing didn't dare to look at Qin Lou - she was worried that her eyes would reveal some information to Qin Lou at this time. Luan Qiaoqing could only walk to the desk quickly and pick up the landline on the table.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I am Luan Qiaoqing."

"Minister Luan, good morning. I'm a little presumptuous to call you so early, but I just received a message from the secretary's office - I don't know that Minister Luan insists on dismissing Qin Qing from our law firm, but what are you dissatisfied with her resume?"

"..." Luan Qiaoqing swept behind her, and her fingers holding the phone line couldn't help but tighten. "I just think that as a returnee, Ms. Qin may not adapt to the domestic market in terms of philosophy, and may also conflict with the corporate atmosphere of our company. I hope Mr. Yu can change someone who has rich experience in a domestic company-"

"Minister Luan is an amateur when he said this." Yu Qisheng laughed loudly across the phone, "The position of assistant compliance officer originally originated from overseas. Isn't your company and other companies in the industry want to add such positions to the international market faster and better and make up for the shortcomings in competition? Vio is already an international venture capital company. As the Minister of Vio Human Resources Department, it would be a bit shallow to express such opinions?"

“…………”

Yu Qisheng's words were unceremonious. If Luan Qiaoqing had not been worried about the person behind her and was guilty, she might have been able to resist confronting the other party at this time. But Qin Lou was still there, and she could only grit her teeth and hold back her smile, "It seems that Mr. Yu--"

"In this way, I have a suggestion. Isn't Minister Luan worried that Qin Qing has insufficient qualifications? The so-called real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and your company will add an assessment."

"Assessment?" Luan Qiaoqing frowned, "It seems that it is not appropriate to add an assessment for her to be a solo person, right?"

"Hahaha, the word "suitable" sounds really interesting from Minister Luan. It seems that Minister Luan thinks his resolution yesterday is very appropriate? Then, I will not waste Minister Luan's time, so I'd better call Mr. Qin directly and ask for his opinions."

"no!!"

Luan Qiaoqing didn't even think about it and refused.

After saying that, she realized that she was too excited and subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her.

Qin Lou was raising his eyes and looked at her deeply.

Luan Qiaoqing felt relieved, and hurriedly turned her head, and at the same time lowered her voice: "Okay, then according to Mr. Yu, I will arrange an interview for Miss Qin. I will notify the specific time and place separately - is that OK?"

"Of course. Happy."

“……Mr. Yu is the same.”

Luan Qiaoqing hung up the phone with an ugly expression.

After Tonghuasheng ended, Luan Qiaoqing adjusted her emotions and did not turn back immediately.

Qin Lou looked at her back with obvious tense shoulders and backs and was uneasy, and squinted his eyes slightly. A few seconds later, he seemed to ask unintentionally: "Whose phone number?"

Luan Qiaoqing took her hair and turned it back, smiling a little reluctantly, "From Junsheng Law Firm."

“What do they do on the phone?”

"Well, there are some problems with the resume of the new consultant sent by their law firm. We are communicating this matter." Luan Qiaoqing took it over vaguely.

After saying that, she carefully observed Qin Lou's expression—

Qin Lou looked bored with everything, and seemed not to take this matter seriously. "Then I won't disturb your department's work anymore, you can continue."

"Okay, brother, go slowly."

“…”

After Qin Lou left, Luan Qiaoqing sat at the desk, biting her nails, thinking with a vicious expression for a long time, she rang the bell on the table.

After a while, the assistant ran in quickly.
