In the security captain's office, an indignant Liu Qiming stood in front of the table and asked Bai Yujiao, "Captain Bai, are you really going to keep Xiao Zheng here?"
Bai Yujiao looked up. "He has completed the security department's assessment and did not commit any serious mistakes. I have no reason to chase him away. "
"But he's still a backdoor entrant!" Liu Qiming clenched his fists and said unhappily. "Just now, he left with Tang Ming. I don't know what they're doing."
"I know about this." Bai Yujiao picked up her teacup and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea. She spoke slowly. "The Ministry of Finance asked me to borrow some manpower this morning to collect some debts. I asked Tang Ming to help. "
"That's also Tang Ming's job. Why should Xiao Zheng go there? In my opinion, he's in cahoots with Tang Ming. He's using work as an excuse to go out to have fun. "Liu Qiming speculated maliciously.
Bai Yujiao waved her hand to interrupt Liu Qiming's malicious slander. He frowned and said, "I know you hate Xiao Zheng, and I don't want the Security Department to have people who want to fish in troubled waters. But for now, Xiao Zheng's ability is sufficient for security work. At the very least, I hope you won't be too prejudiced against him before he uses his background to run amok. This will affect your judgment and motivation. "
Bai Yujiao's initial prejudice and rejection was not against Xiao Zheng himself, but she did not like other departments to send people to the security department through connections. Now that she had verified Xiao Zheng's ability, Bai Yujiao would no longer be prejudiced against him. In her mind, it was not important who was hired but who was capable. Someone who could be qualified for the security department.
"But —"
"Stop it." Bai Yujiao was slightly displeased. "Your job is to ensure Xin Ao's safety, not to judge your colleagues. Go out and work. "
"Yes, Captain Bai." Captain Bai. "Liu Qiming walked back to his office with dissatisfaction.
On the way, he happened to meet Xiao Zheng who was returning to the company. This guy was wearing casual clothes and smoking with Tang Ming in the corridor, looking very pleased with himself. Tang Ming was extremely displeased. He couldn't help but step forward and reprimand him, "Xiao Zheng, why aren't you wearing a security uniform during working hours? If you don't want to do it, then get lost. It's not a big deal to have you in the security department. "
"Liu Qiming, how could you say that?" Tang Ming stood up for the relaxed Xiao Zheng. "Since when is it your turn to care about my people? Don't think that you can take advantage of Boss Bai's appreciation. Let me tell you, I won't fall for it. "
"Tang Ming! You've taken the lead to affect the security department's style. Sooner or later, I'll complain to Captain Bai about you! "Liu Qiming bellowed.
"You really are like a resentful woman who has been abandoned by a man." Xiao Zheng teased. "You're so big and burly, can't you be more open-minded?"
Whether it was because of Xiao Zheng's ferocious strength, or because the reason for his reprimand was untenable, Liu Qiming's face darkened and he fiercely said, "You'd better not fall into my hands. I'll keep a close eye on you." After saying that, he swaggered off, not giving Xiao Zheng a chance to counterattack.
"This brat is asking for a beating." Tang Ming mocked.
Xiao Zheng smiled and didn't participate in the evaluation.
If it were an ordinary person, working in such a harsh environment upon their debut would definitely be mentally and physically exhausted and trembling with fear. However, Xiao Zheng was different. Although he was lazy by nature, he yearned for an exciting life and wasn't willing to live a dull life. The security department's working environment was very good. There were people constantly spurring him on, and fighting with others was an endless joy.
…
Blue Heart returned to the company to deal with some urgent documents. She had originally planned to apologize to her boss and report the details of the situation to him. However, she didn't expect that at five in the afternoon, she would receive a call from the CEO's office.
"Doesn't Wang Liu owe us twenty million? Why does he need to pay back twenty-five million? "Lin Huayin's indifferent and cold voice came from the other side of the phone. Even though it was such good news, her emotions didn't fluctuate at all. She used an extremely calm tone to ask Blue Heart, who was in charge of this matter.
"Twenty-five million?" Blue Heart was confused. "According to the contract, Wang Liu only owes Xin Ao the last twenty million. Even if we add in all of the losses from this half a year, he only needs to pay us twenty million and eight hundred thousand. "
This was Blue Heart's verbal explanation, but she was inwardly shocked. She couldn't use words to describe her current emotions.
Godfather Liu had taken the initiative to pay back the money? How was that possible? Seeing Liu Mei's unyielding attitude, Godfather Liu steeled his heart and prepared to renege on the debt. Let alone taking the initiative to pay back the money, even if he went to Xin Ao's house every day, he probably wouldn't be able to get back the money.
What was going on? Blue Heart sank into deep thought.
"I'll personally follow up on this matter. You don't need to get involved." After speaking, Lin Huayin directly hung up the phone, not dilly-dallying at all.
Blue Heart hung up the phone. Her gentle and beautiful face was filled with shock. She did her best to recall every single detail of her negotiations with Liu Mei.
"Just where did the problem go? Why would Godfather Liu suddenly be willing to pay back the money? Did he ask Liu Mei to help him for free? Godfather Liu isn't an idiot. Why would he do something so unnecessary? Why would he complicate a simple matter? "
Blue Heart used her outstanding mind to analyze every single suspicious detail. In the end, she boldly focused her gaze on Xiao Zheng.
Was it him?
If it wasn't, then who made Godfather Liu change his mind and take the initiative to pay back the money?
Blue Heart picked up the phone and called her assistant, Tan Li.
"Little Li, come in for a moment."
"Alright. Chief Lan. "
Tan Li entered the office. Seeing the usually calm and collected Chief Lan's complicated expression, she asked curiously, "Chief Lan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Blue Heart lightly shook her head. "Give me the list of the security department's employees and their detailed information. Don't let anyone else know. "
"Yes." Tan Li didn't ask any more questions and carried out the task that Blue Heart gave her.
Half an hour later, Tan Li brought over all the information of the security department's employees. This included Xiao Zheng's resume, which she was most concerned about.
"Xiao Zheng. From Pearl City, twenty-five years old. Studied at Third Primary School. Pearl High School — — "
Reading Xiao Zheng's simple information, Blue Heart's heart sped up. She continued to read, "After graduating from high school, he joined the army …"
This short record completely disturbed Blue Heart's calm heart.
It's him!
The Xiao Zheng that she saw at noon was the Xiao Zheng that she couldn't forget all these years! The little tyrant of Pearl City!
Seven years.
Blue Heart hadn't seen this old classmate in seven years.
Yes, Blue Heart and Xiao Zheng had once been classmates, and she had even sat behind him. If it wasn't for Xiao Zheng suddenly dropping out of school, Blue Heart was confident that this smart guy would have been able to get into the best university.
In reality, Blue Heart, who was one year ahead of Xiao Zheng, wouldn't have had the chance to become classmates. If she hadn't given up on her exceptional college entrance exam results and chosen to repeat.
The reason why Blue Heart had repeated was because of the extremely famous Xiao Zheng of Pearl City. He was a rebellious student that countless female students had a crush on.
Blue Heart was one of the countless female students, and the most ordinary one.
When she was a student, Blue Heart wore the most ordinary school uniform. She didn't understand fashion, nor did she know how to dress herself up. Even though she was naturally beautiful, it was difficult for her to attract the attention of the opposite sex. What's more, when Xiao Zheng was studying in Year 3 Class 1, it was a class with many top students. Blue Heart didn't even stand out when it came to studying.
She was like a little fan, silently watching over Xiao Zheng's every move. She was worried about him skipping class and meeting the principal. She was excited about him getting first place. There were many times when she mustered up the courage to put milk and fruits in Xiao Zheng's drawers. She acted like a thief, afraid that she would be caught. But when she saw Xiao Zheng eat the snacks she secretly put in, she would always feel especially happy.
This was the Blue Heart of her school days. There was also Xiao Zheng, an influential figure during his student days.
Their lives didn't intersect, even if they sat in the front row. They were like people from two different worlds, separated by tens of thousands of mountains. At that time, Blue Heart's greatest wish was to get into the same university as Xiao Zheng. This was the only reason why she dared to repeat.
She liked Xiao Zheng.
She liked Xiao Zheng's intelligence. She liked Xiao Zheng's righteousness. She liked to see him gallop on the court. She liked to see him in high spirits on the podium. Every time she was caught sleeping by the teacher, he would easily solve all the difficulties the teacher gave him, including the difficult problems that caused many students to frown.
Originally, she wouldn't have had any contact with Xiao Zheng. If she wasn't teased by a few hoodlums outside the school and Xiao Zheng who happened to pass by, she wouldn't have had any contact with him.
She was originally a well-behaved girl from a scholarly family. Her studies and work were meticulously arranged by her parents. Repeat? Blue Heart, who studied in a top school, had never considered it. Even when she requested to repeat, her parents, who were extremely satisfied with their daughter's college entrance exam results, were puzzled. They hoped that she wouldn't put too much pressure on herself.
It wasn't that Blue Heart didn't want to confess to Xiao Zheng, but she didn't dare. She even felt inferior. What right did she have to confess? How could an older repeater have the qualifications to confess to the famous Little Tyrant? The girls that appeared around him were either outstanding in their studies, or they were proud girls that could compete with him in terms of grades. Or they were fashionable, beautiful, and high-spirited school flowers.
After being forced to accept the grievous news of Xiao Zheng quitting school, the disheartened Blue Heart performed poorly and barely managed to get into Pearl Finance University. Although it was a top school in the country, it was a huge mistake for Blue Heart, who had outstanding results.
All these years, Blue Heart had no lack of outstanding suitors. Some were handsome, some were rich, and some were from well-off families. However, Blue Heart didn't like any of them. Even though her parents had expressed their feelings more than once, hoping that she would find a partner and start a family. She rejected them all with the reason that she was busy with work.
After being single for 26 years, it wasn't that she wasn't lonely, and it wasn't that she didn't desire love. However, there was already a man living in her heart. A man that no one could compare to.
Today, she finally met him unexpectedly. As a superior and subordinate, she saw Xiao Zheng, whose appearance had changed greatly after not seeing him for seven years.
He didn't seem to have the spirit of the past, and he seemed to have lost some of his edges. However, his gaze and smile were still as attractive as before.
However — —
What Blue Heart couldn't believe was that the person who was once favored by the heavens, a student that even the principal paid attention to, had become a security guard that relied on manual labor to survive.
How did he spend all these years?
