Li Shanghan, who was standing in place, only saw Qiu Lan's petite shadow before he could react.

This woman.

He frowned, took out his phone, and dialed a call.

"Hello?"

A familiar voice came from the telephone receiver.

"I asked you to help me check Qiu Lan's information in the past three years, how long will it take to get results?" Li Shanghan didn't say a word, just moved his lips indifferently.

"Young Master Li, this matter is not simple, didn't you check when she left? I didn't find anything, and now that she is back, it will take me some time to investigate." Wei Chi was responding to him casually, his voice brisk.

"As soon as possible, and, importantly, to check on the people around her, especially men. Li Shanghan's eyes sank, and his voice was cold.

Hearing his words, the person on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned, and then a wicked laugh, "What? man?"

"Isn't it?" Wei Chizheng raised his eyebrows with amusement and joked softly, "Since Qiu Lan came back, every time you look for me, it's for her, and now you have to check the men around her?"

"You're not serious, are you?"

Li Shanghan, who looked solemn, was not in the mood to laugh with him, just twisted his brows and said in a cold voice, "Within three days, I want a result." ”

After the words settled, he pressed the button to hang up, and put down the phone with a cold face.

Looking at the direction Qiu Lan left, Li Shanghan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath of the turbid smoke, his dark obsidian-like eyes exuding a chill.

Suddenly, he realized that his current attitude towards Qiu Lan no longer seemed to be as simple as before.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the night envelops the whole city, and the hustle and bustle of the day melts into the dark night, leaving only colorful neon lights spread with different colors.

In the chairman's office on the top floor of the Qiu Group, the atmosphere was low, and Qiu Shiming, who was sitting at the desk, smoked cigarettes one by one to suppress the depression and sorrow in his heart.

But until this huge office was already smoky and foggy, the depression in his heart was still difficult to remove.

The previous fall case, the subsequent revelations, and today's live broadcast of the trial.

He sat in front of the computer, but he didn't dare to click on the news headlines or read the comments on the Internet.

"Bang bang bang. There was a crisp knock at the door.

This dull voice made Qiu Shiming's heart extremely irritable, "Come in." ”

The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Qiu Yan, who walked in, had a cold and angry face, and Xue Yancheng, who pretended to be worried.

This afternoon's incident caused a lot of criticism, and there were heated discussions on the Internet, and she also held a two-hour meeting with the public relations department and did four hours of emergency treatment.

But the online comments are still embarrassing.

"How is it?" Qiu Shiming snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and the white smoke mixed with his worried voice drilled through the gap between his lips.

Hearing his words, Qiu Yan pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly.

"No, we've looked for a lot of media, but we can't help it. She furrowed her brow, and the features on her face gradually distorted.

"This afternoon's trial was broadcast live, and later, later, outside, when you hit that woman in Qiu Lan, it was also broadcast live. ”

What's more, this matter is a hot topic, attracting people's attention, and no media is willing to take money. ”

"Don't want to collect money?" Qiu Shiming frowned, his fists were clenched, and green tendons appeared on the back of his hands, "Why, how can this be!"

In the past, when there was something going on, the public relations department of the Qiu Group could use the money to buy the news, or buy other news to suppress the matter.

But this time, these don't seem to be of any use, and they can't even be said to be a drop in the bucket.

"These are all done by that slut Qiu Lan! I will definitely not let her go!" Qiu Yan clenched the document in her hand and roared through gritted teeth.

"Last night, I should have just asked her to throw her into the sea!

Qiu Shiming's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a black cloud, his heart was pounding, but his body was shivering with cold.

A desperate silence crept through the vast office.

"Dad. Qiu Yan took a few steps forward, stood in front of the desk, put the things in her hands on the table, and supported her body with her hands.

"You, why are you telling the public in front of the media today that Qiu Lan is from our Qiu family?"

"That woman is despicable and shameless, and if others know about it, won't she look down on us even more? ”

"Why are you doing that?"

Qiu Shiming, whose face was cold, took a breath and spit out heavily, and a cold and pale voice came out of his mouth, "If I don't do this, the current situation will definitely be worse." ”

"What does this mean?" Qiu Yan furrowed her brows in confusion, not knowing why.

"I just used Qiu Lan's identity to suppress the matter of this trial, and now that Qiu Lan is on the hot list, then the Qiu Group will be a little less, and a little less will be better. Qiu Shiming furrowed his brows, and his breathing gradually became heavier,

"The trial pronounced that our Qiu Group was not allowed to participate in the relevant meetings of the trade union's decision-making and ruling for three months and carry out internal rectification, which is undoubtedly not a death sentence for us!"

"Three months, have you calculated the total amount we have to pay this time?" he asked indifferently with a sigh of relief.

Listening to his words, Qiu Yan turned her head indifferently and glanced at Xue Yancheng fiercely.

After Xue Yancheng saw her eyes, he immediately opened the folder in his hand and took two steps forward.

"Qiu, Chairman Qiu, we have calculated, the court ruled that we should compensate the workers for a total of three times the month's wages, as well as the deceased's workers' compensation, and other big and small things. ”

"Seven thousand six million two hundred and fifty-six thousand eight hundred and thirty-two dollars for the chief engineer's office, and we are going to pay this amount within a week. ”

"Nearly eighty million. Qiu Shiming lowered his eyes, supported his forehead with one hand, and looked heavy.

"Dad, what should we do?" Qiu Yan wrinkled her brows and asked worriedly, "Our total capital flow is only one billion, and this money is still in the project." ”

"The compensation will definitely not be paid, and our projects will have to be followed by the inflow of funds, otherwise it will be unfinished." The loss was much more than 80 million. ”

"I know!" Qiu Shiming replied coldly, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.

In the office, all three of them pursed their lips and were silent, cold air with a slight chill blowing in through the cracks in the windows and filling the room.

"Yan'er, check how much money we still have in our own accounts, let's send out the money from the court judgment first, the matter of the project, and then find a way. ”

Qiu Shiming swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolled up and down with difficulty, and there was a lingering cloud of melancholy hanging on his eyebrows.
