Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
In the huge and deserted conference room, only two people were sitting facing each other at the moment.
Fingers clicked on the armrest, Jian Shang looked at Wang Xiaoliu with a nervous face in front of him, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
However, the quiet atmosphere was finally broken, and Wang Xiaoliu, who couldn't bear it, took the lead in speaking, "Business...... Brother Shang, can you tell Brother Xi that I really didn't steal any account books, I was just confused for a while...... took out Brother Xi's watch. I ......"
"Who can prove that you didn't steal the ledger?" Jian Shang's rhetorical question made Wang Xiaoliu, who was arguing, instantly speechless.
After a long time, Wang Xiaoliu replied with a mosquito voice, "But...... But no one can prove that I stole the ledger......"
"Well, it's really a good answer, so I'll tell Mr. Liu like this." Jian Shang put on a faceless expression that had nothing to talk about, and was about to get up.
But he was dragged back by Wang Xiaoliu, who was crying and sad, "Don't, don't, Brother Shang, it's really not me...... You help me, please help me, what should I do? I know that Brother Xi believes in your words now, can you help me? If you can help me pick this pot, I'm willing to let me be a cow and a horse! ”
Sit down on the chair again, but Jian Shang didn't speak directly, just leaned lazily on the back of the chair and stared at Wang Xiaoliu opposite without saying a word.
Until the man couldn't hold back again, and opened his mouth pleading to say something.
With a bow, Jian Shang approached Wang Xiaoliu's face that looked so confused and uneasy at this time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there seemed to be a taste of bewitchment in his slightly cool eyes and low voice, "I can indeed help you, but it depends on whether you are willing to do this." ”
……
In another office at this time.
Liu Xi knocked on the open door, and saw that the man with Erlang's legs crossed on the sofa in the room didn't seem to have the intention of opening his mouth to let him in, so he had to withdraw his hand from the door stupidly, and walked in front of Song Wei with heavy steps hanging his head down.
"Boss ......"
The man on the sofa was dressed in black clothes and black pants, and his frowning brows at the moment looked even more solemn against the backdrop of this color.
"Have you found the person who stole the ledger?"
Liu Xi nodded, "I found it, but I haven't explained the whereabouts of the account book yet." ”
After Yu Guang secretly glanced at the boss's expression, Liu Xi spoke a little hesitantly, "Boss...... I think there are some problems......"
The man on the sofa raised his eyebrows after hearing his words, and his usual gloomy eyes also floated over, "Oh? What's the problem? ”
Seeing that the boss was rarely interested, Liu Xi seemed to be encouraged, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and expressed his doubts.
"Boss, I always feel that someone seems to be secretly messing with us Xinyuan recently. Do you remember the last time you posted it? There is also Yao Wenhai's quality report, and a few days ago, my subordinates also told me that a reporter appeared at the house of the fool who was guilty of beating a reporter back then, and this ......"
Swallowing his saliva, Liu Xi glanced at Song Wei who was sitting next to him again, hesitating, but didn't know whether to continue talking.
"Go on."
“…… and the loss of the account book this time, it must have been premeditated. It was a small worker in the factory who stole the ledger, and I know him to some extent, and he has no reason to steal the ledger. I suspect that someone behind it is behind it. But who made him do this, I can't say. ”
“…… Is there anyone who is doing ghosts? Song Wei muttered to himself, as if he was deep in thought, and his brows seemed to be wrinkled even tighter.
At this time, the phone in Liu Xi's bag suddenly rang.
It's a call from a simple businessman.
Liu Xi was afraid of disturbing the contemplative man, so he walked to a place a little farther away from Song Wei and stood still, and then pressed the answer button.
"Did you ask that?"
With the occasional "zizi" electric current sound, Jian Shang's voice came from the mobile phone from afar, "I asked, but Brother Liu ......"
Hearing the sound on the other end stopped, Liu Xi was a little impatient, and one word rudely interrupted the hesitation of Jian Shang on the other side of the phone, "Say!" ”
“…… Wang Xiaoliu said that someone approached him and asked him to steal it, and he didn't agree at first, but the person threatened him with the fact that he almost forced a female reporter, saying that he had moved the people he had sent, and if he didn't do what he was told, he would send him to prison. Wang Xiaoliu was instigated, and on the day he was on duty, he used the wire to open the lock and steal something, and gave the account book to the man the next day. ”
Really!
The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and Liu Xi asked eagerly, "Who said he was looking for?" ”
Hooking the corners of his mouth lightly, he glanced at Wang Xiaoliu, who was still sitting on the chair with his head hanging down at the moment, and Jian Shang said, "He said that he was a man in his thirties, medium height, with a Chinese face, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, speaking very calmly, and his temperament looked like a staff member of a public institution. ”
"Got it." was about to hang up the phone in his hand, but the voice on the other end came again, "Brother Liu...... What should I do with this Wang Xiaoliu? ”
"I'll talk about it when I get back."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xi turned to look at Song Wei, his eyes and tone were a little surprised and uncertain because of Jian Shang's call.
"Boss...... The person who stole the ledger was recruited, and someone told him to do it, listening to the description, like...... Like Luo Han. ”
As soon as Liu Xi's words fell, Song Wei, who had been gloomy, suddenly loosened his frowning brows strangely at this moment, and laughed coldly.
I see!
No wonder this old thing has been avoiding him lately, calling him, and eight times out of ten it was his secretary who answered him, and went to his office to look for him, either to go to the countryside or to a meeting somewhere else. It turned out that he had been playing with him in the dark!
"Go! Give me a weekend night to say to the clubhouse, and get ready to receive our disobedient guest again! ”
After gritting his teeth and saying the last two words, he waved his hand to signal Liu Xi to go out, watching the door of the office in front of him slowly close, and Song Wei leaned back on the sofa as if he was suddenly tired.
Hehe, old thing, fight with me? Give it a try.
Hearing a busy sound on the other side, Jian Shangcai cut off the phone, threw the phone on the table leisurely, and looked at Wang Xiaoliu who was looking at him at this time with a smile on his face.
"Brother Shang...... Did Brother Xi agree to let me go? Looking at this man's relaxed and happy expression, Wang Xiaoliu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, could it be that it had been solved?
The man on the other side shook his head, the smile on his face was undiminished, but he said regretfully, "I'm sorry, not yet, Brother Xi asked you to wait for him to come back." ”
After speaking, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and walked out of the conference room.
What does that mean? Didn't you say you wanted to help me?
Wang Xiaoliu, who was dazed, got up and wanted to rush out to ask about the back, but the security guard in charge of guarding him had already pushed the door and entered, blocking his way. Sitting in a chair, the quiet room seemed to hear only the sound of his violent heartbeat. He couldn't help but suck the nose that had been clogging from crying just now, and he seemed to smell a desperate breath in the air.
……
Night.
Liu Xi returned to the factory tired, at this time, the end of work had passed, and the huge factory was silent.
Jian Shang, who had been waiting for an afternoon, hurriedly greeted him, and after serving the teacup to Liu Xi, who was slumped in the chair, he whispered, "Brother Liu, Wang Xiaoliu is still locked up in the conference room......
"Oh! Forget about him and bring him to the office. Stretching his waist, Liu Xi almost forgot the existence of this person.
However, after drinking saliva, the person was already brought to Liu Xi.
Cautiously glanced up at the person on the office chair, with an expressionless face, Wang Xiaoliu was really a little unsure of Liu Xi's attitude.
It seemed that it was really unbearable to bear the oppressive silence, Wang Xiaoliu plucked up his courage, and still spoke, "Brother Xi......"
The man ignored his pitiful expression, but only interrupted him indifferently and asked, "Will you pick the lock?" ”
Stunned for a moment, Wang Xiaoliu's mind was a little unresponsive, but he subconsciously nodded according to Jian Shang's instructions before, "Well, it will ...... Will open a little. ”
"Which hand?" Liu Xi asked coldly again.
He glanced at Jian Shang beside Liu Xi as if asking for help, but the man no longer looked at him at this time.
For a while, Wang Xiaoliu didn't know what to do, so he had to stretch out his right hand in response to Liu Xi's question, "This ......"
“…… Well, okay, let's get him out. The right hand was scrapped and driven out of the factory. ”
Wang Xiaoliu raised his head suddenly, Liu Xi's words made his eyes pop up with a frightening light in an instant, he rushed to the table excitedly, and saw that his outstretched hand was about to touch Liu Xi, who disdained to look at him again, but was stopped by Jian Shang.
"Brother Xi! No, you can't do this to me! I've been with you for so many years...... No, I didn't steal the broken ledger, it wasn't me! It was him, it was Jian Shang who asked me to say this, and he told me that if I did what he taught, you would let me go, and I was wronged! ”
Several security guards outside the door rushed in when they heard the shouting, pressing Wang Xiaoliu, who was still trying to go crazy, to the side.
In the heart-rending shout of the man, Jian Shang's somewhat innocent voice sounded, "I cheated you to lie to you in order to trick you, but I also had to do this in order to complete the work assigned to me by Mr. Liu, I can understand that you resent me, but ......" Before he finished speaking, Jian Shang glanced back at Liu Xi behind him, and then continued, "However, I really don't want Brother Liu to misunderstand me, after all, he has the grace of knowing me!" ”
"Take him down to deal with him, I'm upset when he argues." Liu Xi waved his hand and motioned to the security guards to take the excited Wang Xiaoliu down, and after a while, the office was quiet again.
Picking up the car keys on the table, Liu Xi stood up and stretched again, and patted Jian Shang on the shoulder when he walked to his side, "It's time to get off work." Shall I piggyback you for a while? ”
Jian Shang smiled respectfully and embarrassedly, "No, Brother Liu, I have to go to dinner with my girlfriend for a while, I haven't been with her for a few days, and I'm making trouble." ”
Liu Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
Push the door and leave.
Not far away, there seemed to be Wang Xiaoliu's unwilling shouting, but Jian Shang knew that from now on, his life in Xinyuan would come to an end.
A smile, a hand, a job on which he depends, in exchange for the fear, anger, sadness, and pain of that night, if you knew it, would you be satisfied?
