Director Xu's good mood was gone when he came to the company the next day.
He was even a little angry.
Because the person sitting in front of him and being interviewed now was not the director of the engineering department he wanted to see - Jiang Fengshan.
As a veteran of "Snake Ring" for three dynasties, the other party has been working diligently in the group since his grandfather Xu Shi's generation.
In view of this status, although he knew in advance that the old man's butt was a little crooked, Xu Shi was still willing to give him some face and sit down and have a good talk in person.
The other party happily agreed at first, but when Xu Shi arrived, he realized that this guy had temporarily let go of him under the pretext of a sudden illness.
This is shameless.
"Miss Jiang Chengcheng, do you think you are qualified to talk to me on behalf of your adoptive father?!"
He tried his best not to vent his anger on the woman in front of him, but he still couldn't help it.
Jiang Fengshan's adopted daughter is also a member of the "Snake Ring" engineering department and has a very impressive resume...but that's not what he cares about right now.
He only knew that the old man was fooling him, and this feeling made him quite unhappy.
"I...I...if Director Xu has anything to say, I, I can convey it to you..."
Jiang Chengcheng answered solemnly, "I, my father is indeed seriously ill...for example, if it is an engineering and technical problem, I already submitted a report to you yesterday..."
Obviously, she was frightened by Xu Shi's aura.
His head was buried low, his legs were tightly clamped, and he was speechless.
And she wasn't very good at dressing up - the large work clothes were a bit awkward on her body, the messy braids and the black-rimmed glasses that took up most of her face made her look quite old-fashioned.
To be honest, if you normally look at this kind of girl, you probably wouldn't even look at her twice.
But the other party's words suddenly caught his attention, "You said...that equipment usage feedback was written by you?"
He was deeply impressed. When he saw it last night, the signature was not hers, but Jiang Fengshan.
"Yes, I wrote it..."
Jiang Chengcheng was a little at a loss when he heard this, "Yes, is there something wrong? You, tell me and I will correct it..."
"If it was written by you, why did you sign it with your adoptive father's name?"
Xu Shi gradually calmed down, frowned and asked.
"this……"
Jiang Chengcheng was startled, and then turned away in a panic.
Apparently she realized that she accidentally let it slip.
"tell me."
Xu Shi forced her to look at him, "How long has this kind of thing existed?"
"...Just, just this once..."
Jiang Chengcheng bit his lip and tried to brush it off, "Father was feeling a little unwell yesterday, so I helped..."
"Give you another chance."
Xu Shi interrupted her bluntly, "If I guess correctly, Miss Jiang, you did not do these things of your own free will, right?"
"No, no, this is all of my own free will..."
Jiang Chengcheng tried his best to explain.
"That means you admit that this isn't the first time, right?"
Xu Shi raised a smile on his lips, stood up and walked slowly towards her, "Then why don't you tell the truth? I hate dishonest people."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chengcheng subconsciously curled up again and closed his eyes forcefully, "Don't hit me, it's all my fault..."
Everyone knew about Xu Shi's reputation. According to the version she knew, the other party was a psychopath, and it was common for him to beat and scold his subordinates.
This made her even more scared unconsciously.
However, the imagined picture did not happen.
Xu Shi just put his hand on her shoulder, and then lowered his voice and said softly, "Is Miss Jiang really willing to be your adoptive father's puppet for the rest of her life?"
"Real talents should shine more dazzlingly, instead of being deprived of their scientific research achievements and enjoying their glory by others."
"Even if you have to suffer long-term abuse from him...are you really willing to continue like this?"
In fact, he wasn't completely sure about the last one a minute ago. Maybe the girl in front of him was a social phobic.
But the other party's subconscious stress reaction just verified his guess.
As for the rest... In fact, when Jiang Chengcheng spilled the beans, he already understood about half of it.
This made him a little overjoyed.
I thought I would catch a small... No, I thought it was just a simple interview, but unexpectedly I caught a big fish.
Way to go, old man.
Xu Shi's words were undoubtedly like a sharp blade, piercing Jiang Chengcheng's heart.
Because the facts are basically the same as what he said.
As an orphan adopted by Jiang Fengshan, she was originally very grateful to him.
After all, he was the one who brought her out of the misery of the orphanage and gave her generous living conditions and a good education.
And she lived up to her father's expectations, obtained a degree in mechanical engineering with excellent results, and then joined the "Snake Ring" group where the other party worked.
At that time, she really hoped that she could become her father's right-hand man.
However, what happened next was not what she thought. The cause of the matter was a research report.
At that time, Jiang Fengshan came to her with the report and claimed that he wanted to discuss it with her... She was naturally willing to do this and helped the other party to correct the errors and omissions in the report very seriously.
However, when the report was reported to the group, there was no sign of her in the signature.
She didn't take it to heart once or twice, only thinking that her father might have been negligent... But as more and more such things happened, she began to realize that something was wrong.
This was clearly academic plagiarism... But when she found Jiang Fengshan to argue, she was beaten by the other party.
"I originally raised you to let you enter the social circle, but who knew you didn't have the talent in this area."
The kind elder finally showed his fangs, "Fortunately, you still have some value, and you have lived up to my dedication to you."
After a thorough showdown, the other party stopped pretending and forced her to conduct a large amount of technological research and development, and then signed his own name on these achievements with peace of mind.
Every time he tried to resist, all he got was more brutal abuse than the last time.
This is how she spent the five years in the "Snake Ring". She was unwilling to do so, but had to become a tool in the other party's hands.
And this experience also made her miserable, not only the physical pain, but over time, she also suffered from severe mental illness and had to rely on a large number of drugs to relieve it.
The girl who was in her prime has become as decadent as she is now.
But she had no way to seek help - she had no friends since she was a child, and the engineering department was Jiang Fengshan's territory. Even if she noticed something, no one dared to say anything.
She couldn't even complain.
She didn't expect that Xu Shi would expose all of this in the end.
"Then, tell me, Miss Jiang, your choice."
