Chapter 405: The lingering ghost



Meng Sheng didn't rush upstairs, but first went to the four exhibition areas for a tour before going upstairs, but he didn't go back to the office.

It's already time to go to work.

When she was about to go to the research and planning department, she saw a slightly plump girl wearing glasses walking towards her from a distance, holding a box in her hands.

Fan Ru also saw her, was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered her eyes and nodded, "Director."

"Well, go to the teaching and training department?" Meng Sheng smiled at her in a gentle voice.

As if sensing this gentleness, Fan Ru's body tensed up instead, and she tightened her grip on the box.

Suppressing her uneasiness, she pulled the corner of her lower lip a little embarrassedly, not daring to look at Meng Sheng.

But his voice was smiling, and he was still touched, relieved and happy about the sudden promotion and department change.

Perhaps he felt that he no longer had to endure Qiu Jin's oppression and insults.

"I...I'm confused too. I don't know how I suddenly became the team leader of the teaching and training department."

The smile in Meng Sheng's eyes deepened. "Is that so? That's good. Being able to get a promotion shows that you are capable. Don't be afraid. Believe in yourself. You can do it."

After that, she gave another instruction, "The museum will be recruiting some interns in July. You can discuss the recruitment requirements with the Human Resources Department next month and develop a training plan. Submit the plan before the 20th."

Fan Ru was startled, and her eyes, which had been calm and bright, now lit up, as if a spark of hope had been ignited in her life.

It gave her a sense of purpose.

"Okay, I understand."

Meng Sheng glanced at her, his smile unchanged, and then he asked, "Do you have a backup of the closing ceremony plan? I'm not at the museum at the moment. I have some things to do at home these two days, so I can't take care of the museum.

The plan I was looking at was the second version, and I only listened to their brief report in the group chat, saying that a new process had been added.

Fan Ru was stunned. She didn't know if it was because she felt guilty, but her heart tightened and her knuckles under the box turned slightly white.

She moved her lips and said, "The third version of the plan was finalized by Group 1. I wasn't involved, so I don't understand the new process."

Meng Sheng suddenly realized something and stretched out the last syllable of his words, but his smile remained unchanged. "Oh, so that's it. Then I'll go ask the people in Group 1 later. Have you handed over your work in the Research and Planning Department?"

Her tone was very gentle, just like a normal chat, and it didn't make people feel pressured at all.

Apart from being fierce and ruthless in some serious matters, she is actually a very friendly and tolerant person.

Even if she sees an old lady staggering across the road, she will go up and help her.

But many people are easily confused by this side of her.

Fan Ru replied, "I have already categorized all the documents. Whoever takes over can get started right away."

"That's good." Meng Sheng nodded with a smile, looking at the box in his hand. "Is it heavy? Do you want me to help you carry it over?"

Fan Ru shook her head flattered, "No, it's not heavy. Thank you, Director."

"Then go report."

"yes."

After watching Fan Ru's figure disappear from his sight, the smile on Meng Sheng's face and in his eyes instantly faded a lot.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, her red lips pressed into a straight line.

From the test just now, she could clearly see Fan Ru's nervousness and evasive eyes when she mentioned the plan, which showed that she had already planned to sell the plan in the afternoon.

What's the purpose?

Is it just for money? With the closing ceremony approaching, how much can this plan sell for?

As she turned around, her thoughts continued to wander from this angle.

She still went to the research and planning department, stayed there for about ten minutes, and then went up to the third floor with several senior executives.

The meeting lasted about two hours. The first half was about the publication of the collection of papers in cooperation with the Tokyo Museum of Art, and the second half was about preparations for the closing ceremony three days later.

People from the research and planning department also need to go to Deqing Affiliated Hospital to communicate with the painter Gu Ci about the procedures and details of the day, as well as the after-sales activities after the exhibition.

When Meng Sheng closed her laptop, her eyes moved.

Gu Ci.

The Research and Planning Department happened to be responsible for the closing ceremony.

Thinking of a possibility, she frowned and looked up to ask Qiao Na, "Who were the people who went to Deqing Affiliated Hospital to discuss things with Gu Ci a few times before?"

Qiao Na was stunned for a moment. "I really don't know about this. You should ask the people in the planning department."

This matter is not within her jurisdiction.

As she spoke, she looked over and saw Qiu Jin still standing outside the conference room. She quickly called out, "Team Leader Qiu, come here. The director has something to ask you."

Qiu Jin's back stiffened instantly.

Before coming to the meeting, Qiao Na relayed Meng Sheng's meaning to him and gave him a light rebuke. He was in his forties and felt embarrassed.

So when he saw Meng Sheng coming to the research and planning department before, he thought she was here to scold him and wanted to hide in the toilet.

Now when he heard Qiao Na calling him over by name, his heart trembled.

If the director caught him and scolded him in public, he would be completely embarrassed.

Although the director is much younger than him, it is because he has seen how Meng Sheng manages the art museum.

She will never show mercy to those who challenge her bottom line again and again and are extremely greedy, but she handles every matter in a way that makes no one find any fault, and she enjoys all the benefits alone.

He has worked here for so many years and has no intention of leaving.

He took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, turned around with a fearless attitude, and walked towards Meng Sheng with his head held high.

There is a heroic posture of a warrior who will never return.

Meng Sheng was a little speechless. Why did it look like he was going to the execution ground?

She's not that scary, is she?

She twitched her lips secretly, and when he came closer, she asked directly, "The last few times your planning department went to Deqing Affiliated Hospital to look for Gu Ci... that is, Lvy to discuss matters for the closing ceremony, who went to communicate with her?"

Qiu Jin was stunned. He didn't expect the curator to suddenly ask this.

His tense heart relaxed immediately. He thought for a moment, "The first time I went with Mei Fang and Fan Ru, the second time it was Group 2..."

I went there four times in total.

Meng Sheng understood the clue as soon as he heard it.

Fan Ru was there all four times.

That's a bit of a coincidence.

She raised her eyebrows and slightly lifted her eyelids, "Why do you always let Fan Ru go?"

Qiu Jin paused slightly, for a moment unable to tell her joy and anger, and unsure of her attitude, but he explained seriously.

"It's like this. Fan Ru has a good memory and takes notes quickly and clearly. Moreover, Miss Lvy seems to like her quite a bit. I've seen her get along quite well with Miss Lvy over the past few times."

Getting along well?

Of course they get along well, and are both willing to be used and even risk their lives. This is more than just good, it's like they are as close as sisters.

Gu Ci's methods of manipulating people's hearts really refreshed her cognition time and time again.

Meng Sheng rested his elbows on the table, leaned sideways and pressed his temples.

Oh, Gu Ci’s figure is vaguely visible behind this matter.

It really is haunting!

She is quite good at sitting back and doing things, making small moves all the time, but on the surface, nothing has anything to do with her.

Can't hold it back anymore?

However, she did not forget all the things that happened before, that knife in Gu Ci's hand seemed weak and quiet, even a little blunt, but would draw blood every time it was unsheathed.

She suddenly curled the corners of her lips in contempt and sneered sarcastically.

There were only three of them left in the conference room, and her sudden laughter made people feel a little creepy.

It seems like... every time the curator sharpens his knife to kill pigs and sheep, he always has this expression and sneers.

"Director?" Qiu Jin didn't know what was wrong with what he had just said, so he asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Meng Sheng collected his thoughts, looked up and said to him, "Go and get busy."

Qiu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."

As soon as he left, the conference room became quiet again. Qiao Na knew that she was thinking about something, so she didn't interrupt her or leave. She just quietly packed up the documents and materials next to her.

After a moment, Meng Sheng suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he took his laptop and went back to the office area with Joanna.

When she pushed open the office door and was about to go in, her cell phone suddenly rang again.

She paused, lowered her eyes and clicked on the text message.

[Gu Yuan kept a female college student outside and lived in Fenghu Apartment. He would spend the night there every Friday and Saturday.

Furthermore, the Huazhou Library project, in which the Gu family participated, was tainted with inferior materials, resulting in extended construction times and over four months of unpaid wages. The project is slated for completion in February of next year, and a major collapse is expected in October, resulting in over 100 casualties.
