Chapter 487 She actually went to work at Xuanyuan Company
Han Lingcui stared at the blank folder on the computer screen, his brows furrowed.
From this afternoon till now, she had turned over all the files in the cloud disk for three years, but she couldn't find any evidence of Shen Hanxing "stealing the design drafts", not even the drafts related to the so-called "stolen project".
Her temples were throbbing, and the two voices in her head began to fight again. The soft and sticky "Auntie" was like a thin needle, piercing her heart from time to time.
She slammed the computer shut, stood up and walked to the window.
The night has completely enveloped the city. The headquarters building of Xuanyuan Company is not far away. The neon lights outline its towering silhouette, like a silent giant beast.
For some reason, looking at the building, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had stayed there for a long time.
"Perhaps...working at Xuanyuan Company will allow me to be closer to the 'evidence'?"
An idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She remembered that Jiang Shutong had mentioned before that Shen Hanxing and Qi Moxun's company had business dealings with Xuanyuan Group. Maybe she could find clues of Shen Hanxing's "appropriation of design" in his work.
More importantly, she kept vaguely recalling the image of herself sitting in the office drawing, with the Xuanyuan Company logo as the background.
She was certain that it was the "memory" of her having worked here.
The next morning, Han Lingcui changed into a simple white shirt and black suit pants, and walked out of the apartment in flat shoes.
In the black car downstairs, Xuanyuan Ge saw her figure and his heart suddenly accelerated.
He stayed up all night last night, watching the lights on the 12th floor go out until late at night. When he saw her walking straight towards Xuanyuan Company, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Check what Lingcui is going to do."
Xuanyuan Ge dialed the phone, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his voice.
Not long after, the assistant's message came back: "Boss, Miss Han just went to the company's front desk and said she wanted to go through the onboarding process. She also said...she was previously an employee in the design department, took leave due to health reasons, and is now back to work."
Xuanyuan Ge's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and an expression of incredible ecstasy welled up in his eyes.
He had invited Han Lingcui to work at Xuanyuan Company countless times before, even if it was just a sinecure, and she refused without hesitation. He didn't expect that she would come here on her own initiative now.
Even if she had a false memory, even if she mistook this place for her "former workplace", for him, this was an opportunity to regain what had been lost.
"Go back to the company."
Xuanyuan Ge took a deep breath and tried to calm his surging emotions.
He couldn't act too eager or scare her.
Han Lingcui was standing at the front desk, feeling a little awkward as she was being questioned by the staff.
She only remembered that "she was an employee of Xuanyuan Company", but she could not remember the specific time of joining the company, her work number, and could not produce a certificate of reinstatement.
The girl at the front desk looked embarrassed: "Ms. Han, the information you mentioned cannot be found in our system... Without it, I can't process your employment."
"Impossible, I clearly worked here."
Han Lingcui frowned, feeling a little panicked. Could it be that even this last "memory" was fake?
At this moment, a deep voice came from behind: "Ask her to come to my office."
Han Lingcui turned around and saw Xuanyuan Ge, wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, walking towards her quickly.
His eyes fell on her, filled with complex emotions that she couldn't read: joy, heartache, and a hint of caution.
"President Xuanyuan?" Han Lingcui was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"
"My company will naturally come."
Xuanyuan Ge tried to keep his tone calm, but he couldn't help but slow down his speech.
"I know your story. Follow me."
He turned and led the way, deliberately slowing his pace so that she could keep up.
Han Lingcui hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
She really couldn't understand why a "normal employee" like her would let the president personally handle her recruitment matters.
Xuanyuan Pavilion's office is on the top floor, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the scenery of the entire city.
He asked his secretary to pour Han Lingcui a glass of warm water before he spoke slowly.
"You said you were an employee of the design department?"
"Yes." Han Lingcui nodded and tried hard to recall.
"I remember I was in charge of a design project for a city landmark building, and I worked overtime with the team until late at night."
That was actually five years ago, and Han Lingcui was indeed in charge of this project.
However, some accidents occurred before the project was completed. Han Lingcui disappeared, and Jiang Shaochuan deliberately concealed some things, so they did not meet for five years.
Xuanyuange suppressed the bitterness in his heart and nodded.
"There might have been an error in the system during the previous data migration. It's okay, just go through the onboarding process again. Do you want to return to the design department, or..."
"I'm going to the design department."
Han Lingcui immediately said, "I want to do design, and I want to get familiar with the work as soon as possible."
She was still thinking about finding evidence. The design department was a core department, and maybe she could get in touch with more business related to Shen Hanxing.
"good."
Xuanyuan Ge had no objection and immediately called the director of the design department.
"Director Zhang, I'll arrange a new workstation for you, preferably one near a window and in a quiet area. Yes, they'll be there right away, and you'll be there to greet them personally."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Han Lingcui.
"The director of the design department will help you familiarize yourself with the environment. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact me."
Han Lingcui took the temporary worker badge he handed over, full of doubts.
Isn’t President Xuanyuan too easy to talk to?
Without even completing the entry procedures, he was directly assigned to the core department and was even received personally by the director?
She couldn't help but take another look at Xuanyuan Ge, muttering to herself: Is it true, as others say, that bosses of big companies are all so "stupid and rich" and so casual with their employees?
She didn't know that after Xuanyuan Ge hung up the phone, he immediately sent a message to his assistant.
"Immediately investigate the landmark project Han Lingcui mentioned, enter all the information she participated in into the system, and then forge a complete record of her employment and leave. It must be done flawlessly."
"Also, send a message to Director Zhang of the Design Department, asking him to take good care of Han Lingcui and not let her suffer any injustice."
When Han Lingcui followed Director Zhang downstairs, it happened to be rush hour.
When the employees in the design department saw her coming in with the director and holding a temporary worker badge from the president's office, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is this? He looks unfamiliar."
"I don't know. Director Zhang said he came directly from the president's office. He must be a relative, right?"
"How long has it been since we hired new people in the design department? And someone like this got in directly without an interview, so it must be quite impressive."
The discussions were not loud, but they just happened to float into Han Lingcui's ears.
She clenched her palms and quickly followed Director Zhang to the workstation by the window.
The workstation was tidy and there was a small pot of succulents. The sunlight shone through the glass onto the table, making it warm and bright.
"Ms. Han, this is your seat. The computer and design software are already installed. Feel free to tell me if you need anything."
Director Zhang smiled very politely, but he was nervous inside.
Just now, the boss called and reminded us to "take special care" of Miss Han. Judging from the situation, she is probably the boss's sweetheart and cannot be neglected.
