44: Shao Shushuang's regret

A clear and gentle voice reached her ears, giving Shao Shushuang a sense of déjà vu.

But she didn't think much of it.

To avoid appearing abrupt, she had prepared a question regarding the Cultural Industry Park in advance!

As long as she found the right moment to ask Director He this question, she believed this new President would definitely be interested.

Shao Shushuang took a long stride and walked over to the group of executives.

"Director He..."

She had just opened her mouth when her eyes, from behind her thin-framed glasses, involuntarily fell upon the new President they were surrounding.

A tall and straight figure, casual business attire from LV, and that extremely familiar, handsome face.

Shao Shushuang's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and her mind went blank with a loud boom.

The next moment, she let out an exclamation of surprise, almost uncontrollably and instinctively!

"It's you?!"

The slightly sharp exclamation was particularly eye-catching in the gap Shao Shushuang had been searching for!

The executives around them were all stunned.

They then looked with surprise at the intellectual beauty who had appeared beside them at some point.

Chen Qiu also raised an eyebrow.

However, he was not very surprised by Shao Shushuang's appearance.

This former blind date was originally one of the staff members at the Culture and Tourism Bureau responsible for the Cultural Industry Park.

The plan provided by the system also included an evaluation of her!

Her ability was quite good, but her desire for control was a bit strong; she was greedy for power and a bit too eager to advance!

In Chen Qiu's view, these were flaws, but with a little guidance, they could also become advantages!

The first to react was Director He, He Xuan!

Shao Shushuang had just called out to him, and as he was preparing to turn around, he saw Shao Shushuang pointing at Chen Qiu with a face full of shock and disbelief.

He Xuan's vision went dark for a moment, and his face instantly turned livid.

"Xiao Shao, what are you doing?"

When He Xuan came over today, he had specifically brought Secretary Zhou along to carefully inquire about Chen Qiu's background.

The information obtained was not much, but it could be summarized in four words.

Unfathomable!

Chen Qiu was a local with a clean background, appearing to be nothing more than an ordinary young man from the countryside!

It wasn't that he was afraid of not finding anything; it was that he was afraid of finding things that gave absolutely no clue!

Yet, with such a simple background, he was able to become a major individual shareholder of the Cultural Industry Group and the chief planner of the Cultural Industry Park!

Secretary Zhou had also secretly revealed that the planning proposal Chen Qiu showed Director Wang was extremely exquisite!

It was completely unlike the work of someone like Chen Qiu, who was only in his twenties or thirties!

Either Chen Qiu was a prodigy who had suddenly experienced an epiphany!

Or, there was an expert behind him!

Regarding this, He Xuan felt filled with awe.

But he also felt excited and thrilled!

He also came from an ordinary family, and after more than thirty years of hard work, he had arduously become a section chief.

People often said that being a section chief was the end of the road for ordinary people in politics!

He Xuan understood this deeply!

A few years ago, he had been thinking about retiring, but then he happened to encounter the vigorous development of the cultural and tourism industry everywhere!

The proposal of the Cultural Industry Park project had also allowed him to see a faint hope of moving up a little further.

And the appearance of Chen Qiu, this "person from heaven," had instantly made his faint hope much stronger!

Even if the Cultural Industry Park didn't succeed, if he could build a good relationship with this "person from heaven," wouldn't moving up a position be an easy matter?

In the political world, the key to promotion is never what you did right!

It is whether you stood on the right side!

Therefore, upon meeting Chen Qiu for the first time, he had tried his best to show goodwill!

But he never expected that a young person like Shao Shushuang would be so ignorant of the rules!

Is this a place where a small fry like you can speak?

And pointing at Chen Qiu with your finger...

At this moment, He Xuan's angry shout was filled with fire!

Secretary Zhou hurriedly pressed down Shao Shushuang's hand and pulled her to the side.

Seeing this, He Xuan turned his head to apologize to Chen Qiu.

"President Chen, I am truly sorry, she is a young girl who hasn't been in the unit for long, she doesn't know any better!"

"How about this, I will have a drink as an apology to you!"

"No need, it's all a small matter."

Chen Qiu stopped him.

Seeing that Chen Qiu was indeed not angry, He Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at Shao Shushuang's small action just now; what if this young man was the type to seek revenge for the slightest grievance?

He dared not gamble on that!

"Come, President Chen..."

On the other side.

Secretary Zhou was reprimanding Shao Shushuang in an extremely severe tone.

"Xiao Shao, you are usually quite steady, what is going on today? Did you catch a cold and burn your brain out?"

"I..."

Shao Shushuang opened her mouth.

Was she supposed to say that this new President, President Chen, was her previous blind date?

And that she hadn't even liked him at all and had lectured him?

She was truly doubting at this moment whether she had burned her brain from a fever!

"I had a question I wanted to ask Director He..."

Shao Shushuang's voice had become a bit hoarse.

"Is this the occasion to ask questions?"

"Do you not even have this bit of situational awareness?"

Secretary Zhou shook his head in extreme disappointment.

"Hand in a self-criticism tomorrow. You don't need to be responsible for the Cultural Industry Park affairs for the next few days; get some rest!"

Secretary Zhou's indifferent words fell into Shao Shushuang's ears, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Secretary Zhou, I..."

Just as she opened her mouth, Secretary Zhou turned and left directly.

Following the direction he left in, Shao Shushuang saw Chen Qiu being surrounded as he left the banquet hall.

Their gazes met in mid-air for a brief moment.

She faintly saw the playful, half-smiling look in Chen Qiu's eyes.

Suddenly, she remembered the words Chen Qiu said before their blind date ended.

"Miss Shao, I look forward to meeting you next time..."

Had he already anticipated this scene today back then?

Was he deliberately trying to make a fool of me?

Shao Shushuang's hands clenched slightly into fists, her heart filled with grievance!

She didn't know why Chen Qiu, a major shareholder and President of the Cultural Industry Group, would want to tease her.

Thinking of this, she felt a bit angry.

But it soon turned into helplessness!

In her mind, she recalled Director He's angry shout just now, as well as Secretary Zhou's reprimand!

The actions of both men, fearing that Chen Qiu might be angry, were clearly etched in her mind.

During this time, Chen Qiu hadn't even said a single word, and she had been pulled away directly!

Wasn't this the power she had dreamed of most?!

If she hadn't been so high and mighty during the blind date two days ago...

She vaguely remembered that during the blind date, Chen Qiu seemed to have a good impression of her!

Originally, she had a chance to ascend to the top in one step...

Shao Shushuang's eyes flickered slightly, and a feeling of deep regret surfaced in her heart.

Shao Shushuang took out her phone and found Chen Qiu's WeChat.

She was very glad that she hadn't deleted Chen Qiu immediately.

"Is there any remedial measure now?"
