Prohibition of losing contact

In the end, Pei You still couldn't beat Zhou Qingbai.

Because it took too long to go out, the hotel's lunch reservation period had passed, so Zhou Qingbai and Pei You could only find a restaurant to deal with it, and ate two bowls of beef ramen.

After dinner, Zhou Qingbai and Pei You parted ways temporarily, one went to investigate the situation at Liu Xin's house, and the other went to Dongjiang Company to sort out the finances.

"Be careful." Before leaving, Zhou Qingbai said with some anxiety: "Call me if you need anything."

Of course Zhou Qingbai knew that Pei You was not a child who needed someone to protect him. Even because of his occupational problems, Pei You should have seen more worldly experiences in the workplace than he did.

But perhaps because he had met Liu Xin before, Zhou Qingbai was always vaguely uneasy. That subtle sense of insecurity always lingered in his heart, and he would pop up to remind him from time to time.

Very strange, Zhou Qingbai thought.

The impression of the last time we met is already very vague, but in Zhou Qingbai's memory, Liu Xin is at best a playboy, a dude who always wants to do some crooked ways and take shortcuts. Although he is not a serious businessman, he is not too out of line to let He was somewhat afraid.

Zhou Qingbai didn't understand where the vague uneasiness in his heart came from, so he thought about it, and simply attributed it to some kind of instinctive premonition.

"A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. If he doesn't cooperate, don't force him." Zhou Qingbai said again: "I'll come and meet you in a while."

"Okay." Fortunately, Pei You was very considerate, he didn't pay too much attention to Zhou Qingbai's abnormal nagging, and he didn't argue with him that he could handle the situation. Yes, don't worry about me, I will always be in the company."

Dongjiang company just moved to a new address the year before last, and settled in a local business incubation park, occupying one floor of a 23-story office building.

Not all of the newly built office buildings have been rented out yet. There are only a dozen or so company labels sporadically inserted on the company signs on the first floor, and a few of them have been crossed out and haven't had time to be drawn out.

Pei You easily found the floor of Dongjiang Company on the sign, then declined the guidance from the front desk of the property, and walked into the elevator room by himself.

The numbers on the screen began to jump up little by little. Pei You raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, and found that the time was just past two o'clock.

Just in time, Pei You thought, at this time, the lunch break should have ended, and all departments of the company should go to work.

The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, and the elevator door swung open, revealing the company door facing the elevator room.

There are two frosted strips across the center of the clean and tidy double-opening glass doors, with the full name of Dongjiang Company written on them. Pei You glanced over them to confirm that he was in the right place.

He stepped out of the elevator, tidied up his clothes habitually, then changed the briefcase to his left hand, walked to the door of the company, and rang the call bell outside.

A crisp bell rang through the transparent glass door, and the young girl at the front desk woke up from her drowsiness. When she looked up and saw Pei You, a look of obvious confusion appeared on her face.

She bypassed the front desk to open the door for Pei You, and asked hesitantly, "Hello, are you... the applicant for the job?"

The last few words were scattered in the ending sound, speaking very without confidence.Pei You first habitually looked left and right at the office aisles on both sides, then shook his head and said, "No."

"I'm looking for you, Mr. Liu." Pei You said flatly, "I'm the client of your parent company Tsingshan Group, and I'm here to carry out financial integration of your company."

He didn't use sharp words such as "audit" or "audit", but perhaps Pei You's temperament was too cold, so the front desk still tensed reflexively.

The girl at the front desk was very young and looked to be in her early twenties.Her experience and work experience are obviously not enough to support all emergencies, so she panicked for a moment visible to the naked eye, and said nervously: "I... our President Liu is not here for the time being, he has gone out, I have to call him first .”

"Yes." Pei You said politely, "I'll wait here."

The conditions in Dongjiang are good. The windows of the new office are bright and clean. There are transitional corridors on the left and right sides of the hall at the entrance, and several small meeting rooms and reception rooms are arranged on both sides of the corridor.

The other end of the corridor on the left is the public office area. The movement in the hall has alarmed the employees working inside. Some people couldn't hold back anymore, and began to probe out from the head with the help of the water catcher.

The front desk led Pei You into a reception room next to him, served him tea for hospitality, then closed the door, ran out to call Liu Xin.

This reception room should be used internally by their company. There is no privacy. The wall near the corridor is entirely made of glass. Pei You raised his eyes and looked not far away. He could see the slightly nervous expression of the girl at the front desk when she was on the phone. .

The place is not bad, Pei You lowered his eyes, thinking that the conditions of this place are much better than he imagined.

The front desk quickly finished calling Liu Xin. The other party seemed to be really not in the company, but asked the front desk to help pass the call, saying that Pei You should wait for another half an hour.

"No problem." Pei You said, "I have time."

"Then... you drink tea first." The receptionist brought him a plate of snacks and said, "Our President Liu said that we are already heading back."

The front desk seemed to feel that being under the same roof with Pei You was very stressful. After delivering the things, he left in a hurry, and then sat at the front desk and buried himself in his work. He seemed a few degrees busier than before.

Pei You looked away from the outside, only to feel the phone in his pocket vibrate slightly, and a slight notification tone sounded.

Zhou Qingbai and Pei You used to have "love teaching rules", so now Pei You is quite sensitive to the sound of new news. He took out his phone and looked at it, and found that it was Zhou Qingbai's new news.

He put the briefcase on the chair beside him, lowered his eyes under the cover of the table, and opened the news interface, only to find that Zhou Qingbai had sent him a question mark emoji with a kitten tilting its head.

Pei You answered him with a question mark in a puzzled manner. Immediately afterwards, another emoticon pack of the same series with a crying kitten popped up in the dialog box.

"Hey...why there is no tacit understanding." Zhou Qingbai replied: "Someone disappeared in this dialog box and hasn't reported the itinerary yet, but I won't say who it is."

Pei You: "..."

A short line of words is imprinted on the screen, but it looks like a long series of voice notes.Pei You could even imagine Zhou Qingbai's tone and expression when he said this. He was pretending, helpless and emotional. His voice must be lazy and smiling. suggestive.

Pei You was amused by his own brain, he pursed his lips, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

"It's Dongjiang." Pei You quickly typed a line on the keyboard: "But Liu Xin hasn't come yet."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Qingbai sent a new emoji with satisfaction.The avatar of the crying kitten turned into a happy smile, and made a gesture of heart to the other side of the screen.

"I've already arrived at the gate of his mother's community." Zhou Qingbai reciprocated, and quickly sent a photo of the community, and reported to Pei You: "Preparing to sneak into the battle."

Pei You's forehead was full of question marks, and he thought that he moved quite quickly, and he didn't know where he found the news.

He thought so, and asked simply, Zhou Qingbai was squatting on the edge of the flower bed at the entrance of the community, holding a popsicle just bought from the supermarket in his mouth, typing on the keyboard.

"A local enterprise must be famous." Zhou Qingbai said: "And I know Uncle Liu, and I know where he lives, so I came to ask. Their old community has been relocated and replaced with a new one, but the old lady misses the old and hates her old neighbors, so I still live here, but the house has been changed to a bigger one.”

"Now there are a group of aunts playing poker in the community. I'm going to go in and find out about the situation." Zhou Qingbai said, "I'll contact you later."

Zhou Qingbai didn't like to do business, but he was very enthusiastic about making such a mess. Pei You shook his head amusedly, sent him a cheer, and then ended the conversation.

Pei You put the phone back into his pocket, then picked up his cup, and took a sip of tea.

Half an hour later, Liu Xin, who couldn't see the end of the dragon, finally hurried back from the outside, and went straight to the front desk to inquire about the situation as soon as he entered the door.

The receptionist stood up and pointed him in the direction of the meeting room. Pei You was already in the meeting room observing the lobby, so he stood up and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Oh, I'm really sorry." Liu Xin had obviously been vaccinated by the front desk in advance, and before he turned around and saw no one, a smile was already on his face.He walked towards Pei You politely and enthusiastically, stretched out his hand to him, and apologized repeatedly: "I just went out to talk about cooperation, and I happened to be away today, so hurry up."

In the conference room just now, Pei You could only see half of Liu Xin's profile, but now that he was facing him, he couldn't help but frown.

The man in front of him looked 38 or [-] years old, with a very unpleasant face, protruding cheekbones, narrow brows, and looked very shrewd.His eye circles were black and blue, his cheeks were sunken, and he was a little disfigured. The protruding wrist bones seemed to be covered with a thin layer of skin.

He was slightly hunchbacked, and he didn't look very energetic, but his eyes were extremely bright, and he seemed a little inexplicably excited.

Pei You suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he vaguely understood why Zhou Qingbai didn't like him anymore.

He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Liu Xin's overly eager gaze, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Liu Xin very briefly.

"It's okay." Pei You said, "It's because I didn't make an appointment in advance."

"Hey, what's the point, it's us who are able to come from the headquarters." With a smile on his face, Liu Xin glanced around Pei You very quickly, as if secretly weighing his weight in his heart: "By the way, I haven't asked your...your name?"

"Miangui's surname is Pei." Pei You pretended not to meet his gaze, and said flatly, "Pei You."
