Lin Sheng said, “Chairwoman Gu, there’s no need for an explanation. 1 know that whatever you do, you have your own considerations. 1 came here because after Zhang Hui’s firing, you’ll have no secretary to handle some miscellaneous things, so 1 want to recommend someone.”
Gu Dai nodded, waiting for Lin Sheng to continue speaking.
Lin Sheng continued, “The person I’m recommending is called Zheng Ming. He graduated from a prestigious school and has been with the company for a while. He’s quite competent, and 1 believe he should have no problem handling your secretarial duties.”
After firing Zhang Hui, Gu Dai indeed needed to find a new secretary. Lin Sheng’s recommendation seemed to have saved her the trouble.
Gu Dai said, “If Uncle Lin recommends him, then he must be the right person. Let’s go with him.”
Lin Sheng nodded and placed the file in his hands on Gu Dai’s desk. “Chairwoman Gu, this is the employee list from the past few years that you asked me to organize.”
Gu Dai nodded and scanned through the list before she asked Lin Sheng, “How have the employees been doing lately? Do we need to adjust any employee benefits?”
Lin Sheng smiled in response, “The company has recently arranged air conditioning, relaxation rooms, massage rooms, and other amenities. Now with clear direction, employees are motivated. They say that since you took over, they feel their career trajectories have improved tremendously”
Gu Dai felt somewhat embarrassed. “Uncle Lin, isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”
Lin Sheng replied, with seriousness in his tone, “This is not exaggerated at all. Our company is definitely a leader in the industry, even better than Song Corporation in terms of benefits.”
When he mentioned Song Corporation, he suddenly recalled something.
Lin Sheng looked at Gu Dai, perplexed, and asked, “By the way, Chairwoman Gu, working with Song Corporation should be beneficial to us. Why did you refuse this cooperation?”
Gu Dai smiled, replying, “Although Song Corporation is one of the best in the industry, not all partnerships are suitable. I want to wait a bit longer.”
Lin Sheng had developed a deep admiration for Gu Dai and didn’t inquire further.
At that moment, Gu Dai spotted an employee’s resignation details. When she saw the name Liu Nian, she paused to process the information, then her eyes narrowed slightly, fixated on the photograph.
She turned to Lin Sheng and asked, “Uncle Lin, do you know why this person named Liu Nian resigned three years ago?”
Lin Sheng thought for a moment, then said, “He was doing well in the company, but suddenly wanted to resign, claiming his hometown’s land was claimed by the government, and he received 5 million in compensation.”
Gu Dai nodded, saying, “Okay, I understand.”
Leaning back in her chair, eyes closed, Gu Dai felt something was off about Liu Nian.
Back when her parents were alive, Gu Ming’s family appeared nice, and she had visited their home a few times, seeing Liu Nian. He even had a brotherly relationship with Gu Ming.
Logically, after Gu Ming took over, Liu Nian should have reaped some benefits. He should not have resigned, especially at a critical time related to her cruise explosion. It was possible that the cruise explosion was somehow related to Liu Nian.
With the story starting to become clear, Gu Dai opened her eyes, then said to Lin Sheng.
“Lin Sheng, can you contact Liu Nian? 1 have something that 1 have to speak to him about.”
Lin Sheng looked somewhat troubled but still agreed, “I’ll arrange for some people to look into it.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Good.”
After Lin Sheng left, Gu Dai lowered her head, her eyes filled with darkness.
Back then, as the cruise swayed on the sea, surrounded by fire, Gu Dai’s ears were filled with screams and shouts of the people onboard. She felt like she was pushed, then fell into the sea, gradually losing consciousness, only recalling a vague figure, followed by a massive explosion, and then everything went dark.
Although she had recovered her lost memory, there were lingering effects, and she couldn’t recall many details of the explosion.
Gu Dai clearly remembered seeing that person’s face, but why couldn’t she remember it now?
Who was he?
After some time, Gu Dai’s vision gradually cleared. She picked up her phone and texted Chu Min, “Have you found anything about the passengers on the cruise that year?” Her fingers hovered over the phone, anticipation mixing with a sense of uncertainty, as she awaited the reply..
