third chapter

In the evening, it happened that there was no need to work overtime today, and it was rare for everyone to get off work on time.

Qi Ji and his colleagues went out while chatting. As soon as they walked out of the company lobby, they saw a figure that was out of tune with the surroundings under the French phoenix tree in front of the office building.

The man was tall. Although he was wearing the uniform of a nearby high school, he didn't have the vigor of a student. With his rough yellow hair, he looked more like a bad boy.

He kept looking in the direction of the company's main entrance, as if he was waiting for someone, but the fierce look on his face seemed to be really bad. Even the security guard at the door looked at his wrist from time to time, watching the boy's movements defensively.

Many people who came and went saw him, and colleagues were curious when they heard Qi Ji say: "I was looking for me, go first, see you tomorrow."

Colleagues were stunned for a moment, and before they had time to wave goodbye to Qi Ji, they watched Qi Ji walk quickly towards the bad boy.

One of the colleagues looked at Qi Ji's back and asked in a low voice, "Hey...is that Xiao Qi's younger brother?"

Others are not sure: "Maybe so, you see he is still wearing a high school uniform."

With this topic together, everyone's eyes turned to the bad boy again, and the expressions of several of them became a little subtle, and Brother Lin was even more hesitant to say anything.

When someone saw their attitude, they couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to Xiao Qi's younger brother?"

The person who first spoke whispered: "Do you remember the injuries on Xiao Qi's body before? It seems that he was beaten by his brother."

Colleagues were surprised: "Really?! Xiaoqi was beaten by his brother?"

Some people don't quite believe it: "Isn't that school uniform the clothes of No. 1 High School in S City? This is the best high school in the city."

"No matter how good a school is, it can't guarantee that all students are exceptionally good. Besides, grades and conduct are not necessarily linked."

Others asked: "Where are their parents? It's impossible to watch Xiaoqi be beaten..."

"Xiao Qi's parents don't seem to be in S City. I heard Xiao Qi call last time, and Xiao Qi paid for his younger brother's tuition fees."

"Xiao Qi was really beaten?"

"Really," a colleague next to him couldn't help it, "you have never seen the injury on Xiao Qi's body. The injury on the right side of his face last week was considered minor. The arm he exposed before was unbearable to look at. You guys Tell me, such a good child, who is so cruel, we thought he was being bullied at first..."

"Yeah, he didn't say anything when I asked him what was going on, he just said he was careless, but the injury was obviously a result of being beaten. Xiao Qi is currently intern and doesn't live in school. He is in the company during the day, except for his brother who can still be beaten. who is it?"

"Look at his younger brother, he doesn't look like a good student at first glance, and his younger brother has been here several times before, and his attitude is not very good..."

The chatter of colleagues kept their voices low and did not reach Qi Ji's ears, who had already left.

Qi Ji took a few steps to the foot of the Fatong tree and stood in front of the other party. The two are quite different in height. As soon as he approached, he had to look up at people when he spoke: "Mingyu?"

Qi Mingyu wiped the tip of his nose with his thumb, showing impatience: "Why so slow."

"Just got off work." Qi Ji asked him, "Why did you come here?"

Qi Mingyu is in his third year of high school this year, and the school just started in September. It was the most nervous time. It stands to reason that he has not finished class at this time.

"The exam is set early," Qi Mingyu frowned, "Pharaoh wants to call the parents to let you pass at night."

Lao Wang is Qi Mingyu's head teacher.

Qi Ji touched the phone subconsciously: "Want to pay?"

"..."

Qi Mingyu's face froze, he used his fingers to comb his hair, and then said impatiently, "No."

If you don't pay, there is no need to hurry. Qi Ji put away his mobile phone. He is going to the boxing ring tonight. The teacher probably won't be able to see him.

Thinking of this, Qi Ji still responded: "Okay, I'll contact Teacher Wang later."

Although Qi Ji did not directly show any perfunctory attitude, Qi Mingyu still heard the clue, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

"He told you to go now. If you don't go, I won't have to go to school tomorrow."

He added another sentence: "Also, Lao Wang's surname is Yang."

Qi Ji was noncommittal, and accepted Lao Wang's strange surname Yang without asking: "Is that Mr. Yang? I see, you should go back first."

Seeing that the other party still had this attitude, Qi Mingyu became more and more irritable, and his eyebrows were twisted together.

He directly stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Ji's wrist, and he was about to pull the person away without hesitation: "I'm going to school with you now."

Qi Ji's reaction is not slow at ordinary times, so he can't avoid Qi Mingyu's actions. But as soon as his bare wrist was touched, his whole body suddenly shivered, his body seemed to be exhausted and unable to resist, so he was dragged forward by Qi Mingyu and took a big step forward.

Qi Mingyu's actions were a bit rough, and his expression and tone were not very good. When he pulled like this, the movements of the two immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

There were two people passing by not far from them. They happened to know Qi Ji. They were shocked when they saw it. They hurriedly stepped forward to stop people and asked what was going on.

While speaking, they also looked at Qi Mingyu more vigilantly.

Qi Ji coughed lowly, and when he raised his head again, with a decent smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we know each other."

The two colleagues were skeptical, but Qi Ji had already said so, and they didn't care too much.

Qi Mingyu didn't expect Qi Ji's reaction to be so strong, and immediately let go of the other party unconsciously, and looked down at his palm suspiciously.

He looked at Qi Ji again, only to find that the exposed half of his wrist was slightly red, but when he held it, a circle of distinct finger marks appeared on the fair skin.

Qi Mingyu frowned, and when he looked up, he saw the gentle and well-behaved smile on the other's face, which was like a mask, and suddenly felt more and more dazzling.

After the two colleagues confirmed that Qi Ji was fine, they left. Qi Ji did not talk to Qi Mingyu any more and walked directly towards the subway station.

Qi Mingyu hesitated for a moment, and quickly chased after him.

Behind them, colleagues who witnessed the whole process couldn't help but worry more about Qi Ji's situation.

The worry was more of an ominous but damnable foreboding. Early the next morning, Qi Ji didn't show up for a long time. After the clock-in time, Brother Lin received a call.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Brother Lin's expression was not very good. He hung up the phone and hurriedly went to the team leader.

When Brother Lin came back from the team leader, the colleagues finally got the news——

Qi Ji fainted on the subway when he came to work this morning because of a concussion.

"Some kind-hearted people took Xiaoqi to the hospital. I thought it was hypoglycemia, but it turned out that she had a moderate concussion and a large area of ​​soft tissue contusion on her body..."

"My God..."

Colleagues talked a lot. Since the time they got together, they have always had a good impression of this beautiful, sensible and capable intern.

"Did his brother beat him?"

"It must be, look at his brother's attitude yesterday."

"I dare to do it in public, and I don't know what to do when I go back..."

"Oh, I knew I should have stopped it yesterday..."

The discussion in the office didn't stop until the department manager came back.

The manager looked around the room, pointed to Qi Ji's vacant seat and asked, "Where are the people here?"

The team leader happened to come over and explained: "The intern had a concussion and went to the hospital. He took a half-day leave and came back in the afternoon to make up his medical records."

The manager frowned: "Why is it so unfortunate? Today is the first day of the new president's official appointment."

Didn't this just hit the muzzle?

But it's useless to worry about these now. The manager glanced at his watch: "I have to go to a meeting. I don't know if there will be a temporary inspection today. Everyone, be serious and don't relax."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

In fact, it is not a big deal for employees to ask for leave, and Yuntu also has a well-established attendance system. The problem is that the manager himself doesn't know much about the new CEO, so he doesn't know the temper of the other party, so he has no idea.

For more than a month after the incumbent president was transferred, Zhang Fu, the vice president, acted on his behalf. And the airborne new president has not yet taken office, but his reputation for being moody and ignorant has already spread among the top executives of Yuntu.

The status of a retired special forces soldier alone makes people unable to not worry. It's not that everyone has any prejudice against the military, but Yuntu is a technology company, and the senior management has relevant educational background, and the new president is less than twenty-five years old. Finish.

To let such a person run a technology company is simply laughable and generous, and no one will believe it when a joke is told.

Although Yuntu is only a subsidiary of Xinghai Group, its profits are quite considerable. Moreover, Yuntu is on the rise. Taking such an important position as the president, the company can't help but start to turmoil. As far as the manager knows, there are already several high-level preparations. Reported to the Headquarters Board of Directors.

But no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, it is impossible for them to offend the new president face to face until they know the real background of the new president. The most important thing is to do your job well.

The manager sighed and looked up at the conference room not far away, feeling a little worried.

Today, the new president is here for a meeting. This is also the first official meeting between the new president and the vice president Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu has always been strict. When the two meet, they will definitely face each other, and they all have to suffer.

In fact, the real atmosphere of the meeting was not much different from what was imagined.

In the spacious and bright conference room with clear windows, a group of executives in suits and leather shoes sat around the long table, each sitting with their chests tight, and occasionally chatting, but their voices were extremely low.

Although the meeting has not yet started, the whole scene looks solemn and serious, but I am afraid it is unknown how many turbulent undercurrents there are in private.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and everyone in the room looked around, focusing on the person who came.

Even if they have heard about it, there are still many people who sigh secretly.

This one is...a little too young.

The visitor is tall, handsome, and heroic. He is well-fitted and has a perfect figure. At first glance, it is enough to capture thousands of hearts.

Unfortunately, this is not a show, but a shopping mall. Sitting in the room was not a girl who could scream and blush, but a group of wily middle-aged people.

Seeing that the new president went straight to the main seat, everyone loosened the tie around his neck as soon as he sat down, and said more casually than sitting: "Let's start."

Even the assistant who followed closely behind him looked much calmer than him.

The meeting process has been determined, and each executive has made reports on the departments in charge in turn. During the reporting period, the young new president did not even open the report presented in front of him. He only held a platinum fountain pen in one hand.

Although the pen would fall back into the palm of the hand every time it was about to be thrown out, it was not used for its essential purpose at all—the cap was never removed from the beginning to the end.

The executives present did not look sideways and focused on reporting, but they all made comments in their hearts.

Young and impetuous, rumors are true.

At the end of the report, the last person to speak was Vice President Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu was just over forty, and his own personality was so serious that he was almost old-fashioned, and he had scolded and cried at his subordinates more than once. However, this character did not really affect his evaluation in the company, because his business ability is indeed obvious to all.

Zhang Fu opened his mouth and said succinctly: "The most critical and most urgent task for Yuntu at present is the location of the new research institute."

The image is projected on the big screen, the whole plan is clear and clear, and the key points are clear at a glance. Following Zhang Fu's explanation, a map of the industrial land distribution in S City appeared on the screen. On the map, the budget, advantages and disadvantages of each planned location are highlighted, and everyone in the house can concentrate on it, and even the attention to the new president has been reduced a lot.

Until Zhang Fu finished speaking, many people were still staring at the map, each whispering to each other.

Looking at the new president again, he only lifted his eyelids and glanced at it at first, and then he looked completely out of the way.

It is almost two extremes in comparison with Zhang Fu.

After the report was all over, everyone around the table looked at the new president, waiting for his speech and instructions.

The new president raised his eyes and glanced around, his face was obviously expressionless, but Zhou.

He finally opened his mouth: "Is there anything else to add?"

The room was silent.

The handsome president slid back half a step with his feet on the conference table: "Then the meeting is over."

The executives thought they heard it wrong at first. They thought the new president would say something, but they didn't even expect a decent word.

Everyone's expressions couldn't help but be a little subtle.

Couldn't this one be... didn't understand anything?

In fact, it is not that there are no people here who dislike this young president. After all, not to mention Yuntu, the entire Xinghai Group has never had the atmosphere of airborne laymen before.

If it weren't for the presence of Vice President Zhang Fu, there would be no room for mistakes, and some people would deliberately make mistakes when reporting to test the new president.

Now it seems that the Airborne President has nothing to stand out except for his face.

Seeing that the new president got up and prepared to leave, the executives also prepared to leave. When they were secretly slandering, they suddenly heard the voice of Vice President Zhang Fu.

"President Pei stay."

Many people looked back and saw Zhang Fu said to the new president, "I still have something to ask you."

The new president glanced at him when he heard the sound, threw the pen in his hand to the assistant at will, and tilted his head to signal to his office.

"bring it on."

As soon as the two left, the depressingly quiet conference room immediately became lively.

The wrong way between Zhang Fu and the new president is already visible to the naked eye. What everyone cares about is why Vice President Zhang took the initiative to talk to the new president. There might be some exciting news in this one-on-one meeting. Everyone speculated, from getting off the horse to clapping the table on the spot, and even guessing that Vice President Zhang planned to resign on the spot.

But most people have reservations about the last guess. After all, Vice President Zhang has been working in Yuntu for nearly ten years, and his qualifications are adequate. There were rumors that he had a personal connection with the headquarters management.

This one-on-one meeting was very exciting no matter what the guesses, but because Zhang Fu still had a poker face when he came out of the president's office and returned to his office, the real situation was unknown.

And half an hour later, another protagonist who was gossiped suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The new president didn't seem to be affected by the conversation at all. He was still in a sloppy manner. When he was idle, he took his assistant to inspect various departments at random, which made many people feel up and down. , I can't guess what his purpose is.

The male assistant of the new president was also brought by air, not the old man in the company. The assistant is young, less than 30 years old, but he has no oil or salt, and he can't even inquire about the background. He is as mysterious as the new president Pei Yusheng. As a result, everyone wants to inquire about some news related to the president without a key channel.

In addition to the assistant, there was also a company executive who accompanied Pei Yusheng. Because Pei Yusheng didn't say his purpose, the supervisor accompanied him around at will, and could only pick some basic things to introduce.

When he inspected the seventh floor, the supervisor was introducing the company's attendance management system to Pei Yusheng. The latter listened casually and was about to walk downstairs with someone. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the office area near the stairs, but his footsteps suddenly stopped. .

The listing reads: Operation Group D.

He remembered that the boy he had seen yesterday was doing his internship here.

"Wait." Calling the supervisor who was about to press the elevator, Pei Yusheng stumbled and walked directly to the listed office area.

The supervisor behind him was a little confused, but he still followed after a few quick steps.

A group of people pushed the door and went in. The employees in the house were performing their duties and were busy working. When they saw Pei Yusheng walking in, they didn't respond. They didn't respond until they saw the supervisor, and everyone stood up to say hello. The manager is here.

"It's okay, just sit down and get busy with your work."

When the supervisor spoke, Pei Yusheng glanced around the room, but couldn't find the beautiful and eye-catching face that made him come here specially.

Aware of his sight, the supervisor followed and looked around, and soon realized that something was wrong.

Because the place facing the door and closest to them was clearly empty, and even the desktop computer was not turned on.

The supervisor's face was not good-looking at that time.

He had just finished praising the company's perfect attendance system and high attendance rate with the new president, when he bumped into an absentee on the spot.

The supervisor frowned, and asked in a bad tone towards the department manager who hurried over: "Where did the person at this station go?"
