Chapter 45 Killing Three Birds with One Stone
Song Li removed the needle in the middle of the night and returned to Ciyun Pavilion. He Qian did not come back, but received a call from Zhang Ji, asking her if she wanted him to send her the phone.
How could Song Li not know that He Qian asked Zhang Ji to test whether he had returned to his cage.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and she went to work as usual. Day after day, she wondered when it would end.
He Qian was waiting for the elevator in the lobby on the first floor, and Song Li took the elevator from the basement floor. The two met when the elevator door opened.
"Mr. He, good morning." Song Li made some room.
He Qian saw that she was standing straight, as strong and upright as usual. She really didn't know how to act pretentiously in front of him at all!
The elevator door closed and Song Li smelled tobacco. He Qian was a very self-disciplined person. He would never smoke before breakfast. Why did he smoke today?
"Has Mr. He had breakfast?"
"Yeah, I ate Nanquan rice noodles with my second uncle over on Hengjie Street." He Qian put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood side by side with her. There was no one else in the elevator, and the smooth wall clearly reflected the obvious height difference between them.
"Oh." No wonder, then she wouldn't have to prepare breakfast for him later.
"I asked Zhang Ji to pack a copy. He will give it to you when he parks the car."
Nanquan rice noodles are made from pure mountain spring water. Their texture and chewiness are second to none, and Song Li particularly enjoys them, whether stir-fried or boiled. However, ever since she lost her sense of taste, she has never touched them again.
"It's such a good thing, it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not, give it to someone else." Song Li didn't have the courage to eat his favorite food. He was obviously greedy, but he couldn't taste anything.
He Qian considered that she was injured, and although it was a misunderstanding last night, he was indeed the one who "threw" her out of the car, so he didn't mind Du Zhanrong sending her to the hospital. At least she knew her limits and returned to Ciyun Pavilion obediently.
But this breakfast, no!
"Bring it to my office and I'll watch you eat it."
Song Li frowned. If he had known earlier, he would not have refused. He could have just taken it and thrown it away. But now she was eating it in front of him!
He Qian really didn't give in at all, and let Zhang Ji carry the breakfast box directly into the CEO's office, "Secretary Song, CEO He asked you to come in quickly!"
Song Li went in reluctantly. He Qian sat on the sofa in the meeting area. On the table in front of him was a paper bag with the words "Nanquan" written on it. "Sit down and eat it!"
The sofa was about the same height as the table. She had a cut as big as her right knee, and she had to grit her teeth to endure it while driving. Now, sitting like this and having to bend over to eat, Song Li felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Can I take it outside to eat?"
"no."
"I promise I won't throw it away after I finish eating it."
"no."
"My legs hurt and I can't sit down."
He Qian's heart trembled. It had been a long time since she had revealed her vulnerability in front of him. Even the words "leg hurts" now seemed extremely precious to him.
He Qian wondered if he was crazy, he was so happy!
He stood up, picked up the breakfast in one hand, grabbed her arm with the other, pulled her to the desk, and pushed her to sit in his seat. This chair is comfortable enough!
Then he put the breakfast in front of her and said, "Eat it."
Song Li felt uncomfortable all over, as if sitting on pins and needles. What happened to him today?
He Qian didn't plan to leave either. He leaned against the table and crossed his arms over his chest. "What are you looking at? Rice noodles on my face?"
Song Li could only eat under his nose. Although they ate together many times on weekdays, she really couldn't stand his fixed gaze. She always felt that her head was about to be pierced by his sharp eyes like an arrow!
Zeng Xinyue knocked three times on the door, pushed it open, and was stunned at first by the sight, but quickly recovered her composure. "Mr. He, the front desk said Miss Yu Qingqing has arrived. As you instructed, you didn't let her come up, so she left her breakfast there, saying she made it for you herself. Do you want it brought up?"
"Throw it away." He Qian then remembered this trouble. If he didn't still need to use the clue of her new song, he would have kicked her out long ago!
Right now, Yang Xiao has no idea about the whereabouts of the arranger of Yu Qingxin's new song. He can only wait until the day her album is released to see if Xu Keran will surface!
"Yes, Mr. He." Before leaving the room, Zeng Xinyue took a special look at Song Li sitting in the boss's chair. Being watched by the boss while he ate breakfast, this scene was so beautiful that no more words were needed! It was a pity that Yu Qingqing didn't come up, she had to let her see more!
Song Li really couldn't eat any more. The portion was too much. She was not feeling well and had no appetite, and the food was tasteless.
He Qian saw her hesitation and decided to eat as much as he could. "Clean it up and notify the Chumishan project team to have a meeting at 9:30."
"Okay." Song Li felt as if he had been pardoned. He wiped his mouth and happily cleaned the table.
He Qian clearly saw that after she stood up, she supported herself on the table and paused for a long time. Was she trying to relieve the pain in her knees?
I'm already feeling worried, but I haven't figured out how to ask her to accept the taste treatment plan. Now her knee is injured. Why does she have so many troubles!
When Song Li was leaving, he seemed to hear his sigh in a trance, but he didn't dare to stop to confirm. He was really... moody!
At 9:30, the Chumishan project team, led by Liang Tao, rushed into the conference room. More than a dozen people in the group were destined to suffer from insomnia and hair loss again tonight...
Song Li told He Qian that everyone had arrived. She was still wondering why she was not allowed to get involved in the new project this time...
As He Qian walked out of the office, he said to her, "You should also attend the meeting."
Song Li quickened his pace to keep up with his long strides. "Are you taking meeting minutes?"
"Need not."
Song Li entered the conference room with He Qian without any preparation. The person on the right side of the conference table was very alert. When he saw Song Li, he quickly stood up and changed seats.
"To cut a long story short, Zeng Lingxiong has tacitly agreed that the development rights of Chumi Mountain will be transferred to Qi Liang!"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, as if they had won a battle. Although they were not at the finish line, it was still worth being happy. After all, since the project team was established, they had been under pressure every day.
Song Li didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Just as the news started outside, He Qian already had the victory news in hand!
He Qian continued, "The person in charge of the bidding is Yu Honglin, who was personally trained by Zeng Lingxiong. Zeng Lingxiong meant that in order to avoid suspicion, we don't need to contact Yu Honglin in the early stages. He will give us first-hand information. But I don't want to be so passive... Yue Ping!"
Li Yueping said, "Mr. He."
He changed his position and He Qian didn't see him for a while.
"Investigate Yu Honglin's close associates and his current projects, whether ongoing, completed, or about to be discussed. Regardless of the amount, as well as the people involved, investigate them thoroughly."
"yes."
"Chen Dan, you will be responsible for recruiting people through the headhunting company. Do not merge them into the agency signed by Yu Honglin under the name of Qi Liang. You will be responsible for writing the bid price. As soon as the bidding is finalized, send them abroad for a period of time."
"Liang Tao, you'll be responsible for preparing the bid. This week, please make a list of companies that should be contacted for assistance. As for any bidding fees related to this project, please contact Lao Yuan. I'll have him allocate the funds directly to you. After the winning bid is announced, you'll hand over your work back to the R&D department."
"Yes, Mr. He!" Liang Tao responded loudly. This was the end of his hard work. Research and development was his main job!
"Song Li, recommend three or five people to Zeng Lingxiong and Yu Honglin. They should assist them in their work and ensure that the Chumishan project passes the review smoothly."
In this network of relationships where one move affects the entire body, the candidate must not only gain Zeng Lingxiong's trust, but also be willingly accepted by Yu Honglin, and also be able to dominate the financial auditing field. Only Song Li can grasp this accurately.
"good."
The meeting lasted less than an hour, and after it ended everyone went about their own business.
Later, when Song Li discussed this project with Liang Tao, she learned that He Qian had extended an olive branch to Zeng Lingxiong - evidence of Tang Yi's treason.
The leading power of Chumi Mountain's development fell into Qiliang's hands so quickly and smoothly.
They all thought at first that Zeng Lingxiong's grandson Tang Yi was married into the Xue family, and if they wanted to sever this relationship, He Qian's actions would only serve to sow discord between Tang Yi and Zeng Lingxiong.
When he said "sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot", he thought he would start with Tang Yi and find out that he had committed corruption and bribery, or was involved in drug-related crimes, or even worse, had caused a death. Unexpectedly, He Qian directly accused him of "collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country" with no room for maneuver!
He presented these incriminating evidences to Zeng Lingxiong, did him a favor, and then reap the benefits.
On the one hand, Zeng Lingxiong severed ties with Tang Yi without any hesitation! In this way, the Zeng family could no longer get involved with the customs!
On the other hand, Zeng Lingxiong "reciprocated the favor" and promised that the Chumishan project would be given to Qi Liang!
The biggest beneficiary was probably He Shuxing. Tang Yi became the son-in-law of the Xue family. This act of treason was equivalent to the crime of punishing the entire family! The Xue family was implicated, and He Shuxing was kind enough to give him the reputation of "retiring after success"!
He Shuxing squeezed out the Xue family's influence in the customs and successfully put his own confidant in office. From then on, everything went smoothly!
Killing three birds with one stone, this is already a restrained and polite peaceful solution by He Qian.
