Chapter 18: Office Detective Mr. Zhu
The other party's question was too direct. Xu Jun looked away in panic. He could feel the heat on his earlobe.
Having never imagined that he would have such an innocent moment, he cleared his throat and grabbed the book on the table to fan himself in the face.
“It’s too hot…”
Zhu Yanshi narrowed his eyes and felt the temperature change around him. He even felt a little cold.
When the formal teaching began, Zhu Yanshi listened very carefully. Although he had no professional knowledge in this area, after the other party's simple and humorous explanation, the content was not so complicated and difficult to understand.
After an hour, he actually understood.
Zhu Yanshi filled several pages of notes in the notebook, and he had completely figured out the other party's background.
Smart, quick-witted, able to express what he has learned in his own way without any nonsense.
During the intermission, the cell phone in Xu Jun's pocket rang. He stood up and went outside to answer the call. Zhu Yanshi was alone staring at his notes and digesting the knowledge.
Xu Jun is not a proud person who does things carelessly.
Even though we only had a brief contact this afternoon, I can basically judge a person's character through the content and methods of his teaching.
There must have been a reason why I made so many mistakes at work and was late and left early.
What Zhu Yanshi needs to do now is to find the reason.
The front door was opened and Xu Jun came in jogging, putting the computer and books on the table into his backpack.
"I have to go to the hospital now. Can we arrange another time for the next lesson?"
The man was obviously flustered, his mood was obviously different from before, and his lips turned slightly pale.
Zhu Yanshi keenly noticed the change in the other party's mood. He didn't say much, just nodded and watched the other party leave.
When he was the only one left in the classroom, he closed the notebook filled with notes and stuffed it back into his backpack.
With his hands in his coat pockets, he left the classroom and walked out of the school gate.
He remembered what he had promised Yuan Qing.
Bring your favorite green grapes to people.
When he went to buy green grapes, he had to stop by Song Zhiyu's company on the way. While reporting on his work, he also needed to learn more about Xu Jun.

New Technology——
The conference room was as quiet as a chicken. Everyone's eyes met, but no one dared to speak up under the current high pressure.
The latest developed products were playing on the big screen, and Song Zhiyu's evaluation was simple and crude.
"Do you dare to open your eyes and see what kind of garbage this is?"
Time is tight and the task is heavy. The previous main R&D members were fired, and the new replacements needed to quickly understand the company's corporate culture and cooperate with other departments to complete the first phase of product development in a short period of time.
Everyone sitting in the conference room is a well-known figure in the industry. They have participated in the research of many projects and are not really that anxious about the beginning of this pile of shit.
Any product starts out as a pile of shit, but what really matters is the skill of carving it into shape.
But such an attitude obviously did not pass muster with Song Zhiyu.
There was no expression on the man's face. He held a pen in his hand and tapped the table again and again.
He stared at the plan in front of him and felt like poking his eyes out. He packed up his bags and went home.
This state can no longer be expressed by anger.
The meeting room was silent. Song Zhiyu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Overthrow and redo everything."
"You've all been with me for a while, so you should know exactly what I want."
Song Zhiyu leaned back in his chair and waved his hand.
"The meeting is adjourned."
The people in the conference room grabbed their notebooks and rushed out of the room, fearing that if they ran slower, they would be dragged back and scolded.
The light from outside the window fell on the conference table. The door of the conference room was knocked and pushed open. Song Zhiyu looked at the young man who walked in.
Zhu Yanshi was dressed very cutely today. The beige sweater made his skin look even smoother. There was always a smile in his eyes. He pulled out a chair and sat next to Song Zhiyu.
“You want the donkey to run, but you don’t give it any grass to eat?”
Zhu Yanshi tilted his head, rested his elbows on the table, and supported his chin.
"Mr. Song, you are too cruel..."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
When Song Zhiyu asked this question, he was stunned for a moment, and the boy sitting on the chair next to him started laughing.
"I'm here to talk business with you."
After laughing, get straight to the point.
"Xu Jun isn't someone who would slack off on work for no reason. Do you know why?"
"If I knew, would I still ask you to call them back?"
Song Zhiyu glanced at Zhu Yanshi coldly.
After the words fell, the man raised the corner of his eye slightly again.
"How do you know he's not someone who would intentionally slack off on his work?"
"You know so much in such a short time?"
There was a hint of teasing in the man's tone.
Zhu Yanshi's gaze fell on the light outside the window.
"Then shall I ask your company's employees?"
"There must be someone who is familiar with him, right?"
Song Zhiyu didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhu Yanshi turned and left. When he reached the door, he paused, took two steps back, and looked at Song Zhiyu's cold gaze.
Speak.
"I just have a small suggestion."
"If President Song wants everyone under him to give full play to their abilities, he must implement a reward system. Anyone who can point out mistakes and innovate at the conference, as long as it is feasible, will be rewarded."
"Incorporate new ideas and fix the old flaws, and your employees will naturally be happy to work for you."
Song Zhiyu did not respond, but just lowered his head and thought for a moment, roughly deducing the feasibility of the policy.
The man's frown slowly relaxed.
"Thanks."
Zhu Yanshi nodded, turned and left the meeting room. He first asked Special Assistant Zhang who Xu Jun had the best relationship with when he was in the company.
The other party told him that it was Xiao Liu, the company's administrator.
Zhu Yanshi arrived at the administrative department and chatted with the man surnamed Liu for a while.
The two were chatting on the rooftop. Zhu Yanshi passed the other a cigarette. He didn't have the habit of smoking, but he still kept the habit of carrying a cigarette box in his pocket before leaving the hall.
He stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket.
The sound of a lighter came from the side, and Xiao Liu lit a cigarette and held it between his lips.
"A company that has connections, or is good at speaking and flattering is actually much stronger than you have the ability."
Xiao Liu's voice was blown away by the wind.
"You're just trying to get Xu Jun back because you need him right now. If the current research and development is completed, will you kick him out again?"
"A company is a small society. Management has a lot of things to plan every day. It's impossible for President Song to pay attention to the employees' situation all the time."
Zhu Yanshi spoke very seriously. He had been in many such small societies, almost from childhood to adulthood.
"If you want to know about Xu Jun from me, you can go directly to Manager Guo's office."
"He may not have time to look at the pile of leave requests on the upper left corner of his desk, but you can take a look."
Xiao Liu turned around and looked at Zhu Yan's face.
"After all, you have more rights than I do."
Zhu Yanshi didn't say anything, he knew what the other party meant.
A simple test.
Before leaving, the boy gave the other person another cigarette and took the elevator all the way to the top floor.
When Zhu Yanshi appeared in the president's office, Song Zhiyu had just finished lunch. He looked at Zhu Yanshi with some surprise.
"Haven't you left yet?"
"I signed a contract with you, and I'm serious. I'm not kidding."
Zhu Yanshi stood beside the desk.
The voice faded away.
"Could you please come with me to the office of Mr. Guo, the manager of your company?"
Song Zhiyu said nothing, threw the takeaway box into the trash can, and looked into Zhu Yanshi's eyes.
"Boss Zhu? Are you calling me?"
“…”
Zhu Yanshi sometimes couldn't stand this man's domineering aura.
"Anyway, you are free now. It won't take up much of your time to go with me."
After saying that, Zhu Yanshi grabbed Song Zhiyu's wrist and pulled him up from the office chair.
The other party was caught off guard and was pulled like this. When he stood up straight, his expression was still a little confused.
"Why should I listen to you..."
Before the voice had completely fallen, the boy pushed him out of the office.
"If this trip is in vain, you can deduct my money."
Zhu Yanshi interrupted the other person's chatter directly and clearly.
When the two people took the elevator and appeared at the door of Manager Guo's office in the Engineering Department, the entire office area was pitch black. Everyone had gone out to eat, or those who stayed in the office were taking a nap at the desk.
Zhu Yanshi nudged Song Zhiyu with his arm with an expressionless face.
"You go ahead."
"You are legal and compliant, I am trespassing privately."
Zhu Yanshi took a step back and stood behind Song Zhiyu with a fake smile on his face.
“…”
Song Zhiyu raised his hand and pushed open the office door. There was no one in the office. The man reached out and turned on the light next to him.
The lights suddenly came on, and the transparent glass window reflected the man's figure.
Zhu Yanshi poked his head out from behind the man and fixed his eyes on the pile of long leave requests placed in the upper left corner of the desk.
He passed by Song Zhiyu and stood in front of the desk, reading every leave application.
At the top are the leave requests from recent days, and in the middle and back there are more than a dozen notes with repeated names.
The repeated name is Xu Jun.
According to the company's normal procedures, employees submit leave applications to their managers. After the manager approves the application, the employee submits it to the administrative department and gets the corresponding leave.
But at the moment, not only were the leave requests from the past two days stuck in the manager's office, but even the leave request from half a month ago had not been reviewed.
Zhu Yanshi thought for a moment, roughly guessed the reason, and handed the leave application to Song Zhiyu.
With a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song, this trip was not in vain. You can't deduct my salary."
Song Zhiyu flipped through the leave requests handed to him one by one. The more he looked, the darker his face became.
A complete chain of relationships instantly formed in my mind.
Each leave request is more detailed than the last.
The first one - There is something going on at home, requesting to take annual leave in advance.
The second picture - a family member fell down the stairs and needs care, so I am requesting early annual leave.
The third picture - A family member fell down the stairs and the surgery needs to be relocated, so I am requesting to take annual leave in advance.
…
Something happened at Xu Jun's home and his family needed care and transfer to another hospital for treatment.
I submitted leave requests every day, but they were never approved. I had no choice but to come to work, which resulted in me being late, leaving early, and not concentrating on my work.
At a meeting, he made a small mistake and was fired directly by the boss. When he wanted to explain, the boss told him to get out.
The anger Xu Jun had endured during this period turned into a loud roar downstairs in the company.
"Even if you beg me later, I won't come back!"
Everything is now in order.
