Chapter 88

As a subsidiary of Nansheng Group, Nansheng Technology Building is located in the prosperous area of ​​​​Jianghuai City. The city has developed rapidly in the past four years. This is one of the reasons why Gu Cunxi decided to set up a subsidiary here. Of course... This is not the main reason.

"Have you heard? The general manager of our group is coming to the branch to conduct an inspection. He's said to be a very scary person."

People in the sales department whispered

"How scary is it? The kind that eats people?"

"Hey, I heard through the grapevine that she's a very beautiful woman, but she's also ruthless. She was hired by the chairman from outside. From the early days of Nansheng Group to now, she's achieved what she has today in just four years. A large part of that is due to the general manager's ability."

Several people from the sales department were chatting about company gossip in the office. Pei Yin sat aside without interrupting, his hands unconsciously clenched...

"It seems the good times are over. I heard the general manager will be at the company this afternoon!"

…

In front of the hotel's French window, Gu Cunxi was looking outside in a daze. The ringing of the phone in her hand interrupted her thoughts.

"Boss Gu, I've already investigated the person you asked me to investigate, and I've already got the information..."

"Just say it," Gu Cunxi interrupted the man with a cold tone.

The man on the other end of the phone paused.

"The person you asked me to investigate has now been transferred to the Jianghuai City Land and Resources Bureau and is currently serving as Deputy Director. In recent years, he has privately accepted numerous bribes under the guise of Deputy Director and has secret financial dealings with numerous companies in Jianghuai City. Furthermore, he recently privately sold the land in Nancheng Forest Park to the Jianghuai City Vanke Group at a high price, and the approval procedures did not comply with normal procedures."

"Is there any evidence?" Gu Cunxi asked

"Yes! This person forged a series of documents when privately selling land to Vanke Group. I've sent the evidence to your email!"

"Very good! Keep investigating. I want a detailed list of all the companies that have had financial dealings with him. Also... I want you to find out the details of the capital injections into his black accounts, every single one!" Gu Cunxi instructed the man while playing with his watch.

"I'll give you enough money! But I want to see something absolutely useful!"

"Yes!" the man replied

"What's your marital status?"

"Well, there's not much to find out about his marital status. He's been married twice, has two children, and is currently divorced."

“!!”

The movement of her hands stopped for a moment, and the man's words made her stand there in a daze.

"Divorce? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure I got divorced in August 2016."

"Okay! I'll transfer the first payment to you."

The phone in her hand was tightly gripped, making a creaking sound, and her knuckles turned pale.

She got divorced in the second month after I left here!

"Xiao Peiyin...why did you lie to me!"

…

Inside the building, everyone looked nervous. Xiao Nuo had just walked out of the conference room with documents in hand.

"Notify everyone that Mr. Gu will be at the company soon. Everyone, cheer up!" She said to the assistant beside her in a nervous tone.

Yesterday, Director Xu suddenly informed her that the general manager of the group would come to the branch to review the work in the next two days, which caught her off guard.

"Pei Yin, do you think our company will have to undergo a major reform after this general manager comes? I'm getting nervous just thinking about it," the woman asked, sliding her chair over.

"Don't be nervous, just do your job well!" Pei Yin looked at her and smiled.

Could it be her...

Her hands holding the pen were shaking, and she was both excited and scared.

Two years ago, she accidentally saw a report about Nansheng Group in the news. The chairman of the group was a familiar name to her.

"Xu Shengnan"

Because of this name, she looked up a lot of news and information about the Nansheng Group, but none of them showed the name she was looking forward to seeing...

A year later, Nansheng Technology was established in Jianghuai City

During that time, the news was reporting on this matter, because Nansheng, as one of the top groups in the capital, set up a subsidiary in Jianghuai City, which was like injecting fresh blood into the business development here, and the government strongly supported it.

After hearing the news, she came here with the expectation of Nansheng Technology's large-scale recruitment. She was not sure whether she could see her here, but she wanted to give it a try, even if there was only a one in a million chance, as long as she could see her again!

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Nuo had been waiting at the entrance of Nansheng Technology's building for a long time.

A blue-black Porsche slowly drove over from a distance and stopped in front of the building. Gu Cunxi got out of the car, wearing a professional suit, cold and solemn, with sunglasses covering her eyebrows.

“!!”

Although he had never met the legendary Mr. Gu, Xiao Nuo was certain that this was him! He exuded an extraordinary and cool aura, and unexpectedly, he was so beautiful...

"Hello, are you Mr. Gu?" She walked over and nodded slightly: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time"

"Are you Xiao Nuo?" Gu Cunxi took off his sunglasses, looked at the person in front of him and asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, Mr. Gu, I'm Xiao Nuo. Mr. Xu has already informed me that you will be here today. Let me take you in first." After saying that, Xiao Nuo slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

"Yeah," Gu Cunxi nodded and followed Xiao Nuo into the company building. Walking through the lobby, everything seemed to be in order, except for the people passing by who looked at her nervously.

The elevator stops at the 13th floor

"Mr. Gu, this is the office prepared for you. Because it was a bit hasty, there are still many things that are not prepared. Later I..."

"I'm not that particular." Gu Cunxi looked around and interrupted Xiao Nuo: "I'm very satisfied with the office. Thank you for your hard work."

“!!”

"It's my duty." Xiao Nuo was stunned. There was an invisible pressure around him.

"Boss Xu may not have told you in detail." She turned and looked at Xiao Nuo, her eyes serious and cold. "My name is Gu Cunxi, and I'm the general manager of Nansheng Group. I was the one who originally proposed the establishment of the branch, so this time I'm here, I will focus on this business. I'll need Vice President Xiao's cooperation in future work."

"Mr. Gu, please rest assured, I will fully cooperate."

This woman is very beautiful...but the coldness that emanates from her body is so oppressive that it makes people feel suffocated. This is her first impression of Gu Cunxi.

"Notify everyone and hold a staff meeting in half an hour."

"Oh, and..." Gu Cunxi paused as if remembering something and continued, "After the meeting, please compile a detailed list of all the projects and funds handled by the branch since its establishment and hand it to me, as well as the resumes of the current employees!"

“…”

"Is it for all the staff?" Xiao Nuo asked

"all!"

"OK…"

…

After Xiao Nuo left, Gu Cunxi stood in the middle of the office, dazed. After four years apart, when he came back again, it seemed that everything had changed, and yet it seemed that nothing had changed!

She opened her mailbox and found all the information about Chen Feng in that unread email.

This guy… has actually been getting better and better over the past four years. He’s now the Deputy Director of the Land and Resources Bureau. Haha…

…

There was a knock on the door. Xiao Nuo was standing there with documents in his hand. He nodded and said, "Boss Gu, everyone is here."

"good"

She closed the email, stood up and walked to the meeting room

After being informed that the general manager of the group would hold the first meeting in the conference room, the company staff were all nervous.

The huge conference room was full of people. Pei Yin found a corner and sat down quietly. Her palms were covered with sweat. Even her breathing became rapid. She looked at the door in fear with a complicated expression.

The people around were discussing what kind of person the general manager of the group would be. After a while, the door of the conference room was slowly pushed open. Everyone stopped talking for a moment and there was a complete silence all around.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Gu Cunxi walked to the center of the conference room and sat down. He glanced at the people below and continued, "From today on, I will review all of the company's current businesses and personnel. I hope everyone will actively cooperate during this period."

“!!”

Xiao Peiyin, who was sitting in the corner, was stunned the moment she entered the room. The pen in her hand fell to the ground with a snapping sound.

Really... it's her!!

The intense ecstasy in her heart... This glance made her heart, which had been dead for four years, come alive.

The memory went back to the day when they first met four years ago. She was standing in the audience looking at her just like now. No matter whether it was four years ago or four years later, it was always a sight that lasted for a thousand years.

Four years have passed, and now looking at her seems like a dream...

She...has changed a lot, becoming more charming and colder...

A slight pain cramped her heart, and she clutched her chest secretly, finding it difficult to breathe. She lowered her head very low, afraid that the people on the stage would see her sitting in the corner...

"Who is in charge of the R&D department?" Gu Cunxi asked coldly, looking at the document in his hand.

"Mr. Gu... I'm in charge of the R&D department," the man said as he stood up.

"This is the director of the R&D department, Han Ye," Xiao Nuo whispered.

She took her eyes off the document for a moment and looked at Han Ye with a serious expression: "Mr. Han should be no more than 40 years old, right?"

“???”

The conference room fell into a strange silence. Han Ye was confused by Gu Cunxi's question.

"Mr. Gu, I... I'm thirty-five." Han Ye was stared at by her sharp eyes and was at a loss. His forehead was covered with sweat.

The people in the conference room were tense and full of pressure.

"Judging from your PC product development, I thought President Han was already over fifty," Gu Cunxi continued sharply, "It's really hard for you to develop something so outdated, rigid, and unchanging!"

"!!" Han Ye was stunned where he was. He was too embarrassed to save face in front of everyone.

This kind of meeting was like a mountain pressing down on one's head. Xiao Nuo sat aside, pursing his lips tightly, not daring to breathe...

Gu Cunxi took in Han Ye's anxiety and embarrassment, remaining unmoved. She played with the pen in her hand and continued, "The head office has invested heavily in PCs, but we haven't seen any results. The return is only one-tenth of the total investment!"

“Mr. Han’s high annual salary is really not worth it!”

"I'll give you a month. If what you submit is still exactly the same as before, please find another job, Mr. Han!"

With a snap, the research and development report in his hand was thrown in front of Han Ye...

“!!”

Cold, serious, and sharp have become the current Gu Cunxi.

The person sitting in the corner kept peeking at her, which made Pei Yin feel strange and heartbroken.

I couldn't help but think of the past. Four years ago, Gu Cunxi would smile, act cute, and make funny faces. She was full of life... But now, sitting here, her eyes were cold, with a chill that made people dare not look directly at her...

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense. Everyone just sat there quietly, not daring to speak.

Suddenly, a piercing musical ringtone rang out. The sound was so loud that everyone turned their heads to look.

"Whose?" Gu Cunxi asked as he flipped through the documents in his hand.

“!!”

It's over... Xiao Nuo thought, with Mr. Gu's style, if he made such a low-level mistake, he would probably be fired directly...

Su Bai from the sales department stood up nervously

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, it's...it's mine..."

"Conference room, keep your phone on silent..." Gu Cunxi turned his eyes away from the document and looked over when he heard the voice, but he lost his mind the moment he saw Su Bai.

“!!”

Her eyebrows and eyes look like her! Just now, for a moment, she mistook Su Bai for her.

For four years... Whenever I see anyone who looks like her, my heart...will suddenly sink.

Like a curse...

Xiao Peiyin...when will you let me go!

She looked at Su Bai and smiled bitterly

…

Everyone in the conference room was waiting for the next words, but the surroundings were dead silent. Xiao Nuo looked over in confusion.

“!”

Ever since she met Mr. Gu, her eyes have always been as calm as water, without any temperature, but just now she saw a little ripple in Gu Cunxi's eyes.

"Ahem..." Xiao Nuo leaned over and whispered to remind her of her distraction: "Mr. Gu?"

The voice in her ear interrupted her thoughts. Gu Cunxi came back to her senses and looked at Su Bai with a much softer look in her eyes: "This won't happen again. Please sit down."

“???”

Xiao Nuo standing aside raised his eyebrows, looking surprised. This didn't seem like Mr. Gu's style... How come his tone just now was so gentle?

This way of handling the situation was beyond the expectations of everyone in the meeting room.

…

After that glance, my body seemed to have fallen into that endless black hole again... My heart was no longer at peace.

Gu Cunxi raised his head and rubbed his forehead, looking tired: "What's your name?"

"?"

Su Bai stood up nervously again: Mr. Gu... My name is Su Bai"

"Which department?" Gu Cunxi asked again

“Sales Department…”

"Hmm..." She nodded, without moving her eyes away from Su Bai. She looked at Su Bai greedily, imagining her as another face.

Xiao Nuo looked at Su Bai in confusion, wondering what had happened to her that had caused Mr. Gu to lose his mind so much.

"Let's adjourn..." Gu Cunxi retracted his gaze, closed the document, stood up and left

"?"

Leaving everyone puzzled

Because she didn't want to lose her composure in front of everyone, she hurriedly ended the meeting, with Su Bai's eyes in her mind.

The past haunts her like a demon...
