Chapter 31 31 Please give it to Shi Rui for me, don’t say it’s from me…

Even though Qin Jixiu only asked in front of everyone at the entrance of the R&D department who had the surname Zhao, and did not personally deal with Zhao Lei, any discerning person could see what he meant. He was killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Those notorious employees in the department are like grasshoppers in autumn, and they won't be able to jump for more than a few days.

Even without Director Wu Min's intervention, the employees were finally able to stand up and isolate those individuals. Even if one is used to bossing people around, even if they are just monsters, once everyone turns their backs on you and refuses to cooperate with your bullying and oppression, you can't handle it.

After a few days, they realized that they could no longer survive here and took the initiative to apply for a transfer.

Shi Rui had inexplicably become the R&D department's mascot, suddenly gaining several followers who were eager to worship him. He hadn't anticipated becoming the boss before even completing his internship.

Normal people in the R&D department are all technical people and don't have so many thoughts. No one discusses whether Mr. Qin treats Shi Rui specially or has ulterior motives. They all believe that Mr. Qin remembers the kindness of his old subordinates and has to protect them from being bullied even if they go to other departments.

Some people were thinking of taking advantage of Shi Rui's misfortune, but since they saw that Shi Rui had not completely fallen out of favor with President Qin, they did not dare to act rashly.

Shi Rui knew all this was thanks to Qin Jixiu's sudden, impulsive visit that day. Had he come just for him? He'd come to support him, yet he didn't take credit for it afterwards, which actually touched him even more.

But just because Qin Jixiu didn't mention it doesn't mean he can pretend not to know.

Shi Rui called Gu Qing to ask if Mr. Qin was there; he had something to talk to him about. Gu Qing said, "Mr. Qin's been really busy lately. I just saw him talking on the phone by the window, and then he was gone. He's been traveling a lot lately. I can't tell you the details, but he's really overwhelmed every day. Sometimes we can't help and feel helpless."

"It's still about recruiting people into the industry chain, right?" Shi Rui knew that Gu Qing was not in a position to answer, so he didn't dwell on it. He quickly grasped another key point and tentatively asked Gu Qing, "Did Mr. Qin go on a business trip with Xiao Jia recently?"

"Yes," Gu Qing answered quickly, but she was suddenly startled. She hoped Shi Rui wouldn't get jealous because of this, so she explained to him considerately, "It's always more convenient for President Qin to take a male secretary on a business trip. If he took Qiao Yu and me, it would be inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone, so he wouldn't do that."

Shi Rui didn't respond.

Gu Qing heard that President Qin had gone to the R&D department to support Shi Rui. Worried that he might cause a rift between the two, he scribbles on scrap paper with a carbon pen for a long time before suddenly saying, "President Qin treats Xiao Jia the same as the two of us. He doesn't give us any special treatment. And since Xiao Jia came here, we all miss you, including President Qin."

Shi Rui couldn't help but complain in his heart, I know that Mr. Qin misses me, but he likes to give silently and is not good at expressing himself.

Shi Rui recalled the scene on the day he left the president's office. Qin Jixiu closed the door and all the blinds were drawn, which seemed very unkind. In fact, it was because he fell in love with his secretary and was worried that he would be criticized, so he cruelly transferred him away.

Shi Rui could especially understand him.

He said to Gu Qing: "Then wait until President Qin comes back and tell me."

"Okay, no problem."

As a subordinate, it is a taboo to casually reveal the whereabouts of the boss. Gu Qing is going against the current to support the CP, but she also acts with discretion. When Qin Jixiu appears, she tells Shi Rui and also reminds him to say hello to Qin Jixiu first.

So Shi Rui sent a message to Qin Jixiu.

[Mr. Qin, are you in the office? I have important work to report to you.]

Qin Jixiu had just sat down when he saw the message, his heart pounding. He hadn't figured out how to deal with or compensate the running Samoyed. His trip to the R&D department to show off his power was purely impulsive. Furthermore, the CEO of the company Wang Dong had introduced him to had changed his mind recently, putting him in a difficult position. He hadn't had time to think things through.

He stood up, opened the window as wide as possible, and untied his tie.

At this time, Xiao Jia knocked on the door and came in to pour him tea.

Qin Jixiu's eyes followed Xiao Jia's figure, and suddenly he remembered that Shi Rui had poured tea for him many times before, but because of his inner resistance, he had never been able to observe Shi Rui's movements carefully.

He has a picky palate and can taste the difference even in brewed tea.

The green tea that Shi Rui brewed for him never made his tongue feel astringent, and he didn't know how he did it.

Xiao Jia felt someone was looking at him from behind and almost broke out in a sweat.

Shi Rui had worked so hard, yet he was still mercilessly transferred by President Qin. This clearly shows how picky he is when it comes to people. Xiao Jia hadn't slept for the past few nights since arriving at the CEO's office, fearing he might accidentally offend President Qin and follow in Shi Rui's footsteps, which would lead to him being sent away somewhere else.

After pouring the tea, Xiao Jia prepared to disappear quietly.

"etc--"

Xiao Jia's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He turned stiffly and looked at Qin Jixiu who was standing by the window. He asked softly, "Boss Qin, is there anything else?"

Qin Jixiu noticed that Xiao Jia's clothes didn't seem to fit him well. When Shi Rui was here, Gu Qing ordered a lot of work clothes for him. Shi Rui left in a hurry and left several new sets of clothes hanging in the closet. Xiao Jia was about the same height as Shi Rui, so he put them on.

"Let Gu Qing contact the logistics department to order some new clothes for you. Your pants are too long and not neat enough."

After hearing what Qin Jixiu said, Xiao Jia felt even more miserable. Why was he still being discriminatory based on his size? He was the same height as Shi Rui, but his legs weren't as long. Was President Qin picking on him?

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Xiao Jia took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Qin Jixiu held the phone and replied after a long while: [Not in. What do you want to talk to me about?]

Shi Rui was not surprised. After all, Gu Qing said that Qin Jixiu had been very busy recently, so it made sense that he was in the office just now and was not here now.

[Then I'll come up to see you when you get back. Is your time convenient?]

Qin Jixiu felt a sense of urgency and paced around the office in embarrassment.

After calming down, he replied: [I'm on a business trip, wait for me to come back.]

Shi Rui didn't reply.

Qin Jixiu immediately told Xiao Jia to book him a flight to South City... No, maybe even a trip abroad. Anyway, that wavering CEO thought he had him completely under control, so he might as well leave him alone for a few days.

It is winter in Jiangcheng. The country Qin Jixiu went to is located further north. The heavy snow has just passed, and the city is covered in silver. The snow scene is beautiful and shocking.

Standing at the window of the country's most expensive hotel, you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset.

Qin Jixiu was wearing a coat and enjoying the cool breeze on the balcony when his cell phone rang a few times.

He collected 200,000 yuan from Ye Bo and made a lot of money from selling the car. He donated all the money. Gu Qing sent him a donation receipt and a thank-you letter written by the principal of a primary school in a remote mountainous area. At the bottom, more than a dozen children signed their names in a crooked handwriting.

Qin Jixiu thought of Shi Rui, whose father was a tea farmer. He must have had a difficult childhood, but fortunately a phoenix emerged from the mountains.

Now think about it, if he hadn't called Ye Bo on the day of the interview, he wouldn't have missed Shi Rui's interview. The result is predictable, Shi Rui wouldn't have had the chance to join Zhengfeng.

On second thought, it is really rare for Shi Rui to look like this. He does not shrink back and feel inferior because of his poor family background. He can distinguish what he should do and what he should not suffer, and fight when he needs to. This is actually very difficult.

Shi Rui's appearance appeared in Qin Jixiu's mind, and he felt a complicated mood. On the one hand, Shi Rui's appearance was too much to his liking, and on the other hand, he was still unable to completely separate him from "Ye Lansheng" for a while, and he would still be confused when he thought of him.

After all, those memories were all branded with Shi Rui's face.

Qin Jixiu exhaled a breath of hot air, and the white mist quickly dissipated in the glow of the setting sun.

The phone was a little slow to respond in the cold, so he turned on the camera, took a picture of the beautiful scenery at the horizon, and sent it to Gu Qing very smoothly: [I will arrive in China tomorrow night and go to the company the day after tomorrow.]

Gu Qing would not misunderstand that Qin Jixiu shared such a beautiful sunset in order to flirt with her. She forwarded the chat record intact to someone who was earnestly looking forward to Mr. Qin's return.

[Shi Rui, President Qin asked me to send it to you.]

Shi Rui was of course puzzled: [Why didn't he post it himself? Is he worried about something?]

Gu Qing sent a voice message in frustration: "Are you stupid? It's you who asks him every day when he's in the company, not me. I'm his secretary, so of course I know his whereabouts. When did President Qin report this to us? Of course he meant for 'you' to know."

Squid: [Oops.]

Before leaving for the airport, Qin Jixiu personally picked out a few bags for them as gifts. Although he was usually strict with his subordinates, he also gave them the most preferential treatment, with the exception of Shi Rui.

Qin Jixiu felt extremely guilty whenever he thought of him.

The road to study was not easy, and I met a boss like him in my first job.

Qin Jixiu pointed to the store's signature men's bag and said, "Pack this one too."

On the morning of the day Qin Jixiu returned to work, Gu Qing, Qiao Yu, and Xiao Jia all received the bags he had carefully selected. Seeing that Qin Jixiu was holding another bag, Gu Qing was about to ask about it when Qin Jixiu said to her, "Give it to Shi Rui for me, and don't say it's from me."

Gu Qing was screaming in his heart, how could you not deliver it yourself?! He asked, "What should I say if Shi Rui asks? It's not easy to say that I bought it. I can't afford this brand."

Qin Jixiu always thought that Gu Qing was very smart, but this time she didn't understand his hint and was strangely silent for a moment.

"Oh~" Gu Qing's voice changed, "I understand. I'll go and send it off now."

Qin Jixiu looked at Gu Qing's back as he walked down the stairs. His eyebrows twitched a few times and he always felt something was wrong.

Gu Qing carried the bag to the underground parking lot and called Shi Rui down. When the two met in a secluded place, Gu Qing said with a smile, "This bag is for you. Boss Qin brought it back from Country F. He asked me to give it to you, but he didn't let me tell you it was from him."

Shi Rui took it and asked her why.

"Why else? He's just embarrassed."

Shi Rui's fingers tightened. Assistant Gu seemed to like making fun of him and Mr. Qin more and more.

After saying this, Gu Qing walked back in her high heels, and after a few steps, she looked back curiously.

"What are you standing there for? Your card doesn't grant access to the CEO's office anymore. Why don't you come with me to see President Qin?"
