Chapter 244 - Employ Mei Qi (2/2)

He wore a white s.h.i.+rt and a black suit today, who looked just like a standard white-collar worker.

Having taken a look at the name list containing the above-mentioned interviewees, she took out their resumes and said with a sigh, “They are all good with high academic qualifications and a lot of work experience. It can be told that others are also very excellent, besides you.”

Mei Qi smiled coldly. “You don’t really believe the superficial practice, Manager Song?”

Song Yunxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and moved the list from before her eyes, looking at him. “But you haven’t told me why you want to help me.”

“Because it is interesting.”

Song Yunxuan was just like listening to a joke. She put the list in her hand on the desk. She pulled out a pen beside her and placed the nib on the paper, circling his name. “If you don’t tell me the truth, I will cross out your name. Then you can’t stay in the Song enterprise anymore.”

Mei Qi felt the threat against him, but this feeling of being threatened was not so repugnant.

He nodded. “I will tell you the truth.”

Song Yunxuan raised her head, looking at him.

Mei Qi’s eyes showed a bit of sadness, which was rare. “I once lived in Yuncheng for some years and knew a person. I came back to see her this time.”

“Who is it?” She asked him casually.

Yang Jiu did live in Yuncheng for some years. It was a miracle that the person he knew made him come back in person to visit.

She couldn’t tell who the person was. After all, Yang Jiu knew a lot of people in Yuncheng.

Maybe during the time when he tutored her, he tutored several young masters or n.o.ble daughters from various families at the same time.

She had no idea who he came back in person to see.

Mei Qi heard her question. He lowered his eyelids and spilled out a name with a bitter smile. “Gu Changge.”

The fingers which Song Yunxuan used to hold the pen suddenly paused.

Mei Qi continued to say, “More than a decade ago, I didn’t use the same name as now when I was in Yuncheng. So even if you investigate me, you will end in failure. But after Gu Changge’s death, I could track down many things about her.”

Song Yunxuan held the pen tightly and crossed a name, Liu Sitong, off the list which was sent here.

And then, she crossed a name, Li Yu, off the list.

Mei Qi took no notice of the movement of her nib. He just recalled and said, “I thought that such a clever kid like Gu Changge could have lived for some more years. Yet out of my expectation, she pa.s.sed away at such a young age.”

“I’ve heard that it is because of a traffic accident.”

She continued crossing off the rest of the names on the list.

There were eight names in total on the list. And there were seven names, besides Mei Qi.

She had crossed off two names and might cross Mei Qi off at any time.

It seemed that Mei Qi had antic.i.p.ated that Song Yunxuan would never cross his name off. Even without looking at the movement of her pen, he continued his talk, “Everyone said that Gu Changge died from a traffic accident, yet I feel that there are still a small number of people who will doubt that Gu Changge didn’t die so easily.”

Song Yunxuan crossed off names without looking up. “It seemed that she died from a traffic accident. How could someone frame her?”

“Shao Tianze.”

The name was spilled out suddenly by Yang Jiu in person.

Song Yunxuan had just crossed out one of the three remaining names with her pen.

She smiled and looked up at him. “You are so alarmist. If Shao Tianze hears it, he will definitely sue you for defamation.”

“He won’t.” Mei Qi’s answer was resolute and decisive. “Because it’s the truth.”

“Keep the slanderous remarks to yourself as there is no evidence. If you are my secretary, such words will get me in trouble.” Her words were so casual and lazy. She twirled the pen around her fingertips.

Mei Qi looked at her with a smile. “I found out that you knew Gu Changge. So, your goal is also mine.”

Song Yunxuan looked at the two names left on the list, and a cold look appeared in her eyes. “Don’t stir up trouble for me at random. You look like more than a child now.”

The words, “more than a child”, stupefied Mei Qi.

He looked up at her.

She lowered her eyes and crossed the name beside Mei Qi off.

On the whole list, only Mei Qi’s name was clear while all the names of others were crossed off with no exception.

It seemed that Song Yunxuan had just finished an important piece of screening work. She looked at the list with satisfaction and sighed. Then she put the cap onto her pen. “Now I’ll call the Personnel Department and let them send over the contract. If there is no problem, sign your name on it.”

“How long is the duration of the contract?”

Song Yunxuan answered him without a second thought, “One year is enough.”

Yet Mei Qi smiled. “Manager Song, please ask the Personnel Department to send a two-year contract.”

Song Yunxuan felt a little unhappy. She raised her head and frowned, looking at him. “Now you are applying to be my secretary, but you distrust me so much?”

“It’s possible that there may be some extra work.” Mei Qi’s answer was a little meaningful.

Having thought for a while, Song Yunxuan didn’t ask him what he meant but asked, “What’s your view on my brother’s matter?”
