Chapter 52: My body is still, but my heart is overwhelmed
Gao Lei is the so-called fulcrum that can leverage the entire process. Although he is not qualified to surpass Wen Songjun, he can more or less guess Yuan Daihai's thoughts and use Yuan Daihai to restrain Wen Songjun. Without making a sound, he allows Chu Mishan's information to pass the review smoothly and does Qi Liang a favor.
As soon as Yuan Daihai went on a business trip, a serious problem occurred in the computer room of Hall S. The cooling system had a major malfunction. When it was discovered, more than three hours had passed and the equipment was almost catching fire!
Wen Songjun wanted to conceal the truth, so he took advantage of the night and brought the technicians he had found outside into the computer room, trying to solve the problem before dawn.
Technical solutions didn't work, and some people suggested transporting ice into the machine room to alleviate the problem of rising temperatures. Unexpectedly, the situation became even worse!
You know, this computer room is related to 60% of Yuancheng's government service platforms, and is also linked to multiple state-owned enterprise applications. If it is found to be paralyzed at dawn, people will be resentful and the economic losses will be immeasurable. If accountability is determined, neither Yuan Daihai nor Wen Songjun can escape!
What is even more alarming is that if hackers break in and the internal system is compromised, confidential information and documents will be leaked, which will have far-reaching consequences!
Song Li and He Qian received the news in the late night. She did not expect that Gao Lei would use this trick.
"Aren't you going?" Song Li had already prepared clothes for him. When he came out of the cloakroom, he saw him still lying lazily on the bed.
Gao Lei's meaning was both implicit and obvious. Putting all the things together, they both guessed that since there was such a big hole in the computer room in the hall, it was time for He Qian to take action!
His going to the rescue was like saving the future of Yuan Daihai and Wen Songjun.
He Qian was still lying with his arms and legs spread out. After a satisfying workout, he had already fallen into a deep sleep. He was a little unhappy now. "They're getting so anxious. Call me in two hours."
"Director Liang is almost downstairs. Are you going to make him wait two hours?"
He Qian reluctantly opened his eyes, touched the mobile phone on the bedside, and saw that it was 2:45. Let's take action!
A big drama is about to begin. When Wen Songjun saw the person Gao Lei brought in, he was stunned at first, and then he felt helpless...
If Wen Songjun calms down and finds out that this is a naked "deal" and provocation, I wonder how painful it would be to be dumb and swallow the bitter pill. Gao Lei is not someone to be trifled with, and He Qian is even more to be trifled with!
Gao Lei was amused for a long time just by seeing Wen Songjun's dusty appearance. He looked like he couldn't stand me but couldn't beat me. How could he help but laugh?
After four hours of chaos, everything returned to peace before the daytime working hours arrived, and the fierce battle-like scene last night seemed to have never happened.
…
After a period of time, the information that the people who followed Song Li reported to He Qian was that, apart from their daily commuting to and from get off work, most of them were working part-time jobs everywhere.
Whenever He Qian didn't return to Ciyun Pavilion at night, she would go looking for work to do, and she was even busier than him!
Maybe because of her status, she chose the jobs of kitchen, guest room, sanitation, and labor...
He Qian looked at the information Wang Hao handed to him. If it weren't for several photos of Song Li attached, he would not believe a word he said!
How could Song Li possibly squeeze in so many hours to work part-time jobs, more than one job, more than one month, more than one year! Could she be so strapped for cash?
"Miss Song used to be an emergency room attendant. She often worked all night and then had to go to work as usual the next day. None of us could last as long as she did! The work in the nursing home was also disgusting, but she is still doing it!" Wang Hao also verbally reported to him the information he had collected while following Song Li in the hands of He Shuxing.
He Qian felt somewhat bewildered. The person who was with him every day thought she had her under tight control, yet was completely unaware of her other lifestyle. A sense of frustration welled up within him...
"That's nothing. Her worst time was when she encountered a landslide and was buried. Luckily, the rescue team arrived in time!"
"When did it happen?"
"It should be the year before last. There were typhoons for several consecutive days. Our people were close at the time and buried two of them. The Second Master even sent people over to help."
"Didn't my second uncle say he would tell me?" He Qian now feels guilty for everything he missed that involved Song Li! Song Li was already buried, his life or death unknown, and why didn't that old fox He Shuxing let anyone notify him?
"You were on a business trip abroad at the time." How could Wang Hao know the communication between the top leaders? He could only answer like this.
He Qian's knuckles turned white as he clutched the documents. He should be angry, furious, but at whom? He Shuxing or Song Li?
He closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly the scene of Song Li injecting himself with morphine that night popped up in his mind... How much pain does a person have to be in to risk his life to do such a thing?
From the very beginning, he was determined to torture Song Li to death and imprison her by his side, but she died hundreds of times without his knowledge!
To ease his tension, Wang Hao said, "We've even seen her slaughtering sheep. Last winter, a sheep ran away and she couldn't catch it, so we had to catch it back!"
He Qian listened to his description. It was a simple matter that he spoke of with such familiarity, as if it were a simple favor to help a friend. Wang Hao was following Song Li, and he must have known the situation. Although their relationship wasn't hostile, He Shuxing wouldn't allow them to lend a hand. But Wang Hao did it anyway. What did that mean?
Wang Hao and the others followed Song Li day and night, so how could they not know her difficulties? If they turned a blind eye to such a small matter that they could help with, how could they live with their conscience?
But what about him? Why didn't his conscience move at all? He Qian pondered this question over and over again.
Wang Hao said a lot later, but he didn't want to listen anymore. After he asked him to leave, he sat alone at his desk and smoked one cigarette after another.
After thinking hard for half an hour, he called Deng Peilan, the head of the human resources department. He originally thought that Song Li was just a secretary and her salary was not that high. She had sick and elderly people at home, so she had to work everywhere to raise money. He thought that giving her a raise would make her life less difficult.
"Give me a detailed list of Song Li's wages today, and I will re-determine the monthly payment."
Deng Peilan adjusted her glasses. She was considered a veteran of the company. Hadn't the matter of Song Li's salary been settled long ago? She was still a little frightened when she heard her boss suddenly bring up the topic again!
"Is it difficult?"
"Song Li... Oh, Secretary Song..." Deng Peilan struggled to form her words, "She's never been paid."
He Qian felt puzzled by this sentence, but his thoughts were like a wild horse running out of control. He went from being calm to being surprised, to being shocked, and then his pupils darkened in just three or five seconds.
"Never received a salary?" He repeated it word for word.
Deng Peilan remembered it clearly. From the day Song Li was "airdropped" to Qiliang by He Qian, she had even specifically asked him how Song Li's salary would be calculated. He Qian had immediately scolded her! He said Song Li never deserved a penny from him, and that even if she died, it was all she deserved!
"You were the one who personally instructed that Secretary Song shouldn't be paid, so she doesn't even have a position." Deng Peilan sat stiffly, not daring to breathe hard. There was a hint of frost in the boss's eyes. If she didn't speak nicely, she would most likely lose her job!
He Qian's scalp went numb, followed by a piercing pain at the back of his head. He had just learned how miserable she had been, and now she was telling him it was all his fault?!
Song Li has been in Qiliang for about eleven years. Two years after the death of his mother and Qin Xiang, in order to better torture Song Li, he forced her to drop out of school, live in Ciyun Pavilion, and work in Qiliang!
But in these eleven years, she hadn't received a penny of compensation? He had personally ordered this!
He also remembered that Deng Peilan had indeed asked about Song Li's employment, but his hatred was the strongest during that time, so how could he let Song Li have a good life!
I didn’t expect that eleven years had passed in a flash?
He remembered that he once said to the trembling Song Li: "The law can't punish you, but I, He Qian, can! I will make you feel what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Deng Peilan wove a tortuous and bizarre mental journey, but she couldn't find a way out. "Mr. He, what should I do now?"
"You go out first!" He Qian held his aching forehead. His mind was in a mess.
Deng Peilan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.
Song Li came in less than two minutes later and saw He Qian sitting there motionless, covering half of his face with his hands, looking dejected. "Manager Deng said you didn't look well. What's wrong? Should we call Doctor Zhang over?"
When He Qian heard her voice, his heart skipped a beat. He just looked up at her blankly...
Although my body hasn't moved, my heart has already crossed thousands of mountains.
