Chapter 191
He kept apologizing to him.
Zhou Can rushed straight into the company building; the elevator was too slow.
He took the stairs and quickly climbed to the third floor.
“Who are you looking for?”
A female employee asked him.
“Su Qianqian!”
“She’s in the general manager’s office!”
Zhou Can stormed towards the general manager’s office. “Hey, you can’t go in there!” Zhou Can completely ignored her and kicked the door open with a bang.
Inside were three people, one was a beautiful woman dressed in a professional suit with black stockings, presumably some sort of secretary.
She was standing.
The person sitting in the general manager’s throne was a sleazy-looking fat man, aged at least fifty years old, with heavy bags under his eyes. He exuded a faint aura of authority, and a trace of a street-smart ruffian.
His gaze was far more terrifying than that of the polite Mr. Qian, the vice president.
Like a tiger lurking deep in the mountains, cunning and meticulous.
Comparable to Sima Yi from history.
The legendary Sima Yi during the Three Kingdoms period was extremely cunning. He was both a tiger and a wolf, a strategist adept at lying in wait. He possessed an unusual brooding beauty and meticulousness not found in ordinary men.
“Who are you?”
The female secretary shouted angrily.
Su Qianqian turned her head and saw Zhou Can burst into the general manager’s office recklessly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
This man, for her sake, truly dared to risk everything.
Really dared to disregard all consequences.
“He is Qianqian’s boyfriend!”
The man, faced with this unexpected situation, was initially stunned but quickly regained his composure.
He looked towards Zhou Can calmly, his face even showing a hint of a friendly smile.
“Qianqian is lucky to have such a protective boyfriend, I believe she will be very happy.”
Zhou Can also did not expect the scene inside the office to be like this.
Completely different from what he thought.
When he rushed in recklessly, he thought President Gui was behaving inappropriately towards Su Qianqian.
But upon bursting into the office, he realized that besides Su Qianqian, there was also a female secretary present.
“I’m sorry, I was reckless just now. I’ll compensate for the lock at market price.”
Even when Zhou Can came to this company to sign a contract, President Gui had never shown his face.
This was their first interaction.
The other party was polite, and he really felt embarrassed to make a scene.
“I understand.”
President Gui picked up a pen and quickly signed and stamped on Su Qianqian’s file.
More valuable employees hope to leave a good evaluation on their personal record when resigning, as it affects their search for the next job.
But isn’t this a matter for the human resources department?
It’s rare for the general manager to handle it personally.
“All set. I wish you a bright future, and may you find a better employer. If things don’t work out, the doors of Beihai Langxing will always be open for you,” President Gui told Su Qianqian.
Taking her personal file, Su Qianqian stood up.
“Thank you for your care and training, President Gui, farewell!”
She turned to look at Zhou Can.
At that moment, Zhou Can unexpectedly noticed a small detail.
Why did the female secretary’s eyes keep looking at the glass of water in front of Su Qianqian?
Not everything dressed in clothes is human, not everything with wings is an angel; it could be a bird person.
The woman looked pretty and had an outstanding aura.
But her eyes were shifty, moving faster than a rat’s.
Clearly a crafty and weather-vane type of person.
Could there be something wrong with the glass of water?
Zhou Can was worried about Su Qianqian having an accident; it was somewhat too hasty.
The glass was still full.
She probably hadn’t drunk from it yet. It’s possible she was already wary.
“Qianqian, sit for a while; I still have something I’d like to discuss with President Gui!”
Zhou Can was thinking whether or not to call the police.
What if there was nothing wrong with the glass of water?
The rational action would be to take Su Qianqian and leave. After all, she hadn’t been harmed.
But Zhou Can’s conscience and sense of justice told him that if there really was something wrong with the water.
If he didn’t send President Gui to prison this time, more girls would suffer in the future.
The younger sister mentioned by Su Qianqian might already be a victim.
“Mr. Zhou, are you talking about the compensation for the lock? It’s not much money, and I understand you were protecting your girlfriend. No need for compensation, you can go.”
President Gui said magnanimously.
His eagerness to dismiss Zhou Can only intensified Zhou Can’s suspicions.
“Thank you, President Gui. But I want to discuss a different matter.”
While speaking, Zhou Can took out his phone and rapidly sent a message to Li Lao.
“Call the police for me, address, Beihai Langxing Company third floor general manager’s office. Must be fast.”
“Received.”
Li Lao replied instantly.
Zhou Can, having made arrangements, intentionally chatted nonsense with President Gui.
To avoid raising suspicion, he deliberately sought advice on how to monetize the album he bought.
President Gui seemed to know something about his situation.
An outsider, who bought an album but didn’t know how to monetize it, was understandable.
He patiently taught Zhou Can some ways to monetize.
While they were talking, the office door was pushed open.
“Who called the cops?”
Two policemen walked into the office.
“I did!”
Seeing the police arrive, Zhou Can breathed a sigh of relief.
President Gui’s face drastically changed, but he still maintained his composure.
The female secretary’s face paled, her eyes filled with panic.
“What’s the matter?”
The police asked Zhou Can.
The scene was peaceful, not appearing like a dispute had occurred.
The only conspicuous thing was the obviously broken door lock.
Following a signal from President Gui, the female secretary more naturally reached out to take the glass of water in front of Zhou Can.
“Don’t move!”
Zhou Can shouted sharply, startling her greatly.
The female secretary quickly explained, “This glass of water was poured for Su Qianqian earlier. I was getting ready to replace it with a fresh one for you.”
