Chapter 24 Topics
Nietzsche has a famous saying, "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you."
Yan Shengrong is like an assassin in the abyss, wandering on the edge of law and morality. Du Qiu really needs such a person to be a black glove, but he has to be careful that she drags herself into the water, especially since she has just met, and she doesn’t know any basic information such as family, personality, ability, etc. Not only can she not tell whether it is an enemy or a friend, but she cannot tell which information is true and those are fake in the disclosed information.
A temporary cold incident occurred in the room. After a few minutes, Yan Shengrong leaned over and picked up the glass cup, took a sip of green tea, and said, "Mr. Du, why not do this? Let's follow the Snapdragon interview process. Give me a probation period, give me another question, and then decide whether to cooperate based on my performance. How about it?"
Du Qiu is more likely to accept this step-by-step approach. He nodded slightly and asked, "What you are talking about is to solve a problem around me?"
"Yes." Yan Shengrong held the glass with both hands, with a harmless smile on his face, and said, "It can also cause trouble for others."
Solve trouble, create trouble...
This woman is a trouble in itself...
Du Qiu complained while pondering, his eyes wandered in the living room. Suddenly, he saw the Yuncheng map album placed on the TV cabinet last night. The booklet just flipped into the plot near Qingyun Mountain, and used a pencil to outline the general scope of the university town. His mind was turned on and his mind was opened, and he tied up two things that were originally unrelated to each other. He said, "I have been doing well recently, and I have no trouble, and I don't need to cause trouble, but I have a friend who may need your help."
"Mr. Du is very righteous, I admire him very much." Yan Shengrong first teased him, and then quoted the internet celebrity words in the forum and said: "I have to finish the topic I want with tears in my eyes. Let me tell you in detail. It's your friend's trouble."
"My friend is the executive vice president of Sanjiang University. He should have become the president next year, but the superiors plan to arrange a senior official to serve as the president..."
Du Qiu, with the mentality of a dead fellow Taoist, was preparing to let the old fox Chen Zhiyang test Yan Shengrong's quality, introduced his basic situation, and then told the jealous gossip about the president of Yuncheng University and the dean of the School of Architecture, and said: "Can you take this opportunity to let Chen Zhiyang go to Yuncheng University to be the president?"
Yan Shengrong obviously didn't expect Du Qiu to give her such a tricky and weird topic. After sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, he asked: "I don't know the specific situation of these two universities, but they should be different. Under normal circumstances, they will not mobilize each other's leadership, right?"
"That's right, Sanjiang University is a provincial university, and Yuncheng University is a university directly under the Ministry of Machinery Industry."
"In this case, it's really difficult to make Chen Zhiyang the principal of Yunda this year."
Du Qiu felt that it was not a bit difficult, it was very difficult, so he followed the trend and said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it, I'll just talk about it casually."
"I said it was difficult, but I didn't say it was not possible." Yan Shengrong took a sip of green tea slowly and asked: "Chen Zhiyang is Chen Dayou's father. He should have made a lot of social relationships like you. Do you know what they are?"
"I know some people, but I don't know what their relationship is."
"It's probably OK, let's talk about it."
Yan Shengrong put down the glass cup, took out the notepad from his bag, recorded some names and backgrounds that Du Qiu knew, and then thought about it for a few minutes, saying, "I have done this question, but it takes time to verify some information. After the preparation is made, Mr. Du will introduce me to contact Chen Zhiyang."
"Okay." Du Qiu knew that this was extremely difficult, so he doubled the probation period and said, "As long as you can make him the principal within 6 months, I will continue to cooperate with you."
"If it's six months, the daylily will be cold." Yan Shengrong smiled, with helpless smiles, and said: "It seems that Mr. Du doesn't know much about the domestic education system. In order not to affect the enrollment work in the next semester, the appointment of the university president is generally announced in mid-March. If Chen Zhiyang wants to be the president of Yunda this year, it will be done around the Spring Festival, otherwise it will be too late."
On February 18, 1996, it was only one and a half months before today. After hearing what she said, Du Qiu realized how unreliable her imagination was. He hurriedly said: "Sorry, I don't know that the university operates like this. If it's better to change it to next year, it's okay to be the principal next year."
"No, I came to you just because I like challenges and excitement." Yan Shengrong was very angry and said, "Mr. Du used his strength to beat you and turned my slap into the public opinion basis for promoting the expansion of university enrollment. Then he built a university town and then used the university town to promote the construction of a new district. It is linked and wonderful. Compared with your operations, the problem I did is not very big. If the difficulty is reduced, it will be meaningless."
Seeing that she was confident and seemed to be confident, Du Qiu stopped persuading her. Anyway, she had no losses and said, "Then let's sign a three-month trial contract and discuss continuing cooperation in three months."
"The purpose of the trial is to establish a mutual trust relationship. Signing a contract is an extra measure, just shake a hand." Yan Shengrong stretched out his right hand, gently shook Du Qiu, and then said with a smile: "Although you don't need to sign a contract, according to national regulations, you have to pay me a salary during the probation period."
"Of course." Du Qiu got up and went to get the checkbook and pen, and said, "I have a personal business assistant in Yuncheng. The monthly salary is 15,000 yuan. You can also pay this price, how about it?"
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
Du Qiu first signed a cash check of 45,000 yuan for Yan Shengrong, and then signed a 60,000 yuan check, saying: "This is the information fee for those 6 people who have opinions about me."
"Mr. Du, you are a generous boss like you, and you can't help but love it." Yan Shengrong put two checks in his handbag, took out the stack of photos displayed at the Snapdragon headquarters and handed them to Du Qiu, saying, "You can handle these people yourself, I won't interfere."
"Okay." Du Qiu looked at the photo again and asked, "What should Wei Zhiming do?"
"As long as the person is complete and has no short legs, even if I complete the old man's will." Yan Shengrong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "There are several Hong Kong bosses who spent a lot of money to stuff him into the lecture on November 8, but they were screwed up. Those people are very dissatisfied with him. Even if you don't do it, he won't be able to jump for long."
"Is that true?"
"This is my private phone number. Mr. Du can contact me at any time." Yan Shengrong handed Du Qiu a piece of paper with nothing but the phone number, stood up with his bag, and said, "Mr. Du, don't be too anxious. Since Japan sent Qian Bin to Yuncheng, he should not use your past to make trouble for the time being. After this person is moved here, you should contact him more and give him some irrelevant sweetness. I guess he can handle it for a while."
"Will anyone monitor him?"
"Of course there will be, but it won't bother you." Yan Shengrong raised his hand and looked at the watch, and said, "I'll leave first, thank you Mr. Du for your hospitality."
"I'll take you back to the hotel."
"No, someone is waiting for me at the entrance of the community." Yan Shengrong hooked the ends of his hair in his ear with his fingers and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am too confident and thought I would definitely be able to persuade Mr. Du, so I asked my colleagues to make some preparations in advance. Now it seems that I can only postpone it."
"Your colleague?"
"To be precise, it's my former colleague, because I just resigned from the national security department in November and have not adapted to my new identity." Yan Shengrong pointed to the photo on Du Qiu's hand and said: "Although these people are insignificant, Mr. Du's best not to spread the photos."
"I will."
After Yan Shengrong left, Du Qiu had no intention of going to work in the company. In the name of cleaning, he had a big inspection at home and carefully searched each room. He did not find any eavesdropping or camera equipment. Then he pressed his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. If someone took a picture of him using his laptop and smartphone, it would be a big trouble.
After Yan Shengrong and Du Qiu parted, they walked away from Jingui Garden through the front door, walked about a hundred meters along the road, opened a very ordinary black Santana door, and sat in the back seat.
There was a middle-aged man in his 40s in the driver's seat, of medium figure, average appearance, wearing glasses, and after Yan Shengrong sat down, he turned his head and asked, "How is it?"
"I used rape and murder to scare Du Qiu. He did not react in panic, nor was he worried about the investigation of the Japanese police. He was only worried that the media would report it heavily after being framed and franchise, which would affect his current daily life." Yan Shengrong shook his head and concluded: "He should have never committed serious criminal cases in Japan."
"It's good if there isn't." The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Du Qiu is a genius of science and technology and is very important to the country. If he did something wrong before and found evidence by Japan, it will make us very passive. Since he was innocent in the past, it will be much easier to protect it in the future."
"He can hide in Japan for more than 10 years without leaving any traces, and it probably doesn't need you to protect him." Yan Shengrong took out a check from his bag, handed over the 60,000 yuan, and said, "This is the information money Du Qiu bought for those 6 people, you can take it."
"Ha! Did you actually sell those photos for money?" The man took them over and looked at the numbers, threw them back like a hot potato, and said, "There are too many, I can't accept them."
"Take it, I have a lot of things to ask you for help in the future, so I will use it as a deposit in advance." Yan Shengrong handed over the check and said, "I don't know your family situation, why bother me to tell me the principles? This money is not a bribery, it's just that the photography you took in your spare time was taken by rich people."
"You are really good at talking." The man smiled and hesitated for a moment, then put the check away and said, "Shengrong, thank you."
"Brother Fan, it's too frustrating to say thanks to me." Yan Shengrong took out the notepad from his bag while being polite. After flipping through it, he said, "Du Qiu is more cautious than I expected. The previous arrangements are not enough. I have to hurry back to Beijing to deal with another matter. There is a flight to Tianjin at 4 pm. You can take me to the airport directly, and you should still buy tickets."
"Don't you have flying phobia?"
"There is no way to make money." Yan Shengrong smiled bitterly and said, "When I got on the plane, I brought the bottle of Erguotou, and I'll be fine if I took a few sips."
"Sheng Rong, you are doing well in the department. You are under 30 and are in charge of an operation team alone. Why do you have to resign and work for those rich people?" The man was very confused and said, "Although we have low salary, we have great power. When we get the certificate, even billionaires have to lie down!"
"Brother Fan, times have changed."
