After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

Qiao Annian is not stupid.

As soon as Wen Ze said this, he understood what Wen Ze meant.

Being misunderstood and wronged, most people's first reaction must be astonishment, followed by anger and anger.

Qiao Annian was no exception.

The difference is that besides being angry and angry, he finds it funny more.

The kind that feels ridiculous because it's too ridiculous.

He took it back with his handbag.

As for whether Xiaolou touched his handbag, he didn't know.

Xiaolou is his family, who would guard against the people closest to him?

Of course, he must have protected the company's confidential information, and he still has professional ethics.

It's just that he doesn't think that his protection can prevent Xiaolou.

Most importantly, he didn't think that the little thing in his hand was worth Xiaolou's "concern".

"I took it back, and Xiaolou touched it. All my things will not be fortified against him. He can look at his mobile phone at any time, and I can use his laptop and IPAD at any time. The same is true for mine. He can use it at any time." You don’t need my consent to take it.”

Even if Qiao Annian controlled his emotions well, doesn't it mean that Wen Ze didn't hear the anger in his words at all?

Wen Ze was a little helpless and a little worried. He said earnestly: "Annian, do you know what the consequences will be if you tell the truth at the meeting?"

There will be an uproar at the meeting.

They will think that his attitude is too arrogant, and their doubts about him will not be reduced by half, which is unintentional.

Joannian said calmly, "I have a clear conscience."

He can't avoid the important ones or be ambiguous because he is afraid of misunderstanding.

"Annian, the problem now is not that you have a clear conscience, but what the company's leaders think. You need to find a way to dispel the company's concerns about you. I don't want you to lie. At least, at the meeting, if someone questions you, you must Come up with enough words or evidence to convince the company. You..."

Wen Ze paused for a moment, organized his words, "Do you understand?"

Wen Ze's words can be said to be heartfelt.

Qiao Annian could hear it too.

Before the meeting, Wen Ze deliberately talked to him, probably also to let him have a psychological preparation, so that he would not be completely unprepared during the meeting.

Whether it was because Wen Ze was his boss, if he leaked the secret, Wen Ze would be implicated, or it was out of good intentions, the only thing he could be sure of was that Wen Ze had no ill intentions towards him.

Otherwise there would be no conversation at all.

Wen Ze's meaning should be to let him separate the relationship.

He directly said that the materials had not been brought back, or that Xiaolou had never touched his handbag.

In terms of emotion and reason, it is of course the safest thing for him to respond like this.

But even if he said that, would the company believe it?

Actually it's the same.

No matter what he said, as long as he can't produce evidence that the leak has nothing to do with him, the company's upper management will not dispel their suspicions about him.

He even suspected that the upper management of the company had decided that it was related to him.

Otherwise, the normal process should be to find him in private and ask him to cooperate with the investigation.

Instead of opening a meeting against him and catching him off guard.The concept map leaked such a big thing, after all, it is necessary to find someone to take responsibility, so as to explain it to the one above.With a high probability, he is the "confession".

Qiao Annian asked calmly: "Does the upper management suspect that Xiaolou and I are working together internally and externally, or that Xiaolou stabbed me in the back and stole our company's concept map?"

Wen Ze hesitated for a moment for his answer, but Qiao Annian had already guessed the answer because of Wen Ze's hesitation for a few seconds.

Qiao Annian smiled, "I suspect that Xiaolou and I are the two of you.

Should cooperate outside, right? "

If the company only suspected that he was backstabbed, Wen Ze would not have to hesitate to tell him the answer.

Wen Ze seems to be consoling, but also seems to be comforting him: "Everything is not settled yet. No matter what, I will intercede with the company for you in the meeting."

Qiao Annian said indifferently: "Only those who make mistakes need to intercede."

Wen Ze looked a little worried.

If Qiao Annian faced the other leaders of the company with this attitude, he might suffer a disadvantage.

"Annian—"

"Knock Knock Knock-"

The conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. Wen Ze raised his head, and his secretary pushed the door in and reminded: "Mr. Wen, it's time for the meeting."

Wen Ze, "Understood."

The secretary went out, and Wen Ze said to Qiao Annian, "Come with me?"

Joannian nodded.

Qiao Annian and Wen Ze hurried to the meeting room.

Lin Zhao and Gu Xin, the deputy manager of their department, had already arrived ahead of time. Seeing him, Gu Xin beckoned him to come over and sit with them.

Gu Xin also graduated from Jiang University, so he can be regarded as Qiao Annian's senior.

Therefore, when Qiao Annian joined the company, Gu Xin took good care of him.

Compared with Wen Ze, the airborne manager, Qiao Annian's relationship with Gu Xin is actually a little closer.

In fact, before Wen Ze became their department manager after the original department manager resigned, everyone, including Qiao Annian, thought that Gu Xin would be promoted to general manager as a matter of course.

Maybe Gu Xin himself thought so too, so since Wenze's airborne landing, he, who used to be very active in his work, was somewhat less concerned.

However, the tasks within his duties were still completed, but compared to before, he lacked a little enthusiasm.

For example, in the project that Fuyuan followed this time, Gu Xin's participation was not high, and he took a wedding leave in the middle and late stages of the project, which made several people in their team very busy.

However, since returning from vacation, Gu Xin seems to have regained his enthusiasm.

Maybe people are like this. After struggling for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a period of burnout.

After charging, it can last for a while.

Qiao Annian came here with Wen Ze. At this time, it's not easy to leave this immediate boss and go directly to Gu Xin and the others.

"Wen Ze, have you been transferred to the headquarters? When did you transfer here? Why don't you meet my old classmate for a drink? How are you doing? We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Come, sit here, sit here I'm here."

Juhui is too big, and every department is not on the same floor. It is too common to find out that old classmates have joined the company during a general meeting, or that former rivals in the workplace have become colleagues with themselves.

Qiao Annian knew this department manager from the Investment Promotion Department.

Wen Ze was held back by the manager of the Investment Promotion Department, who shook hands and greeted, and Qiao Annian walked towards Gu Xin and the others.

"It's been a long time. Wait a minute."

After Wen Ze said a few words to his old classmate, he caught up with Qiao Annian and said in a low voice, "Don't worry too much. You just need to firmly deny it."

Joannian's eyes showed surprise.

He didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.

Joannian looked relaxed: "Worried? Why should I worry about things I haven't done?"

Wen Ze was dumbfounded, looking at Qiao Annian with admiration and respect at the same time.

Qiao Annian has only just graduated from university, and he is still at the age of entering and exiting the workplace, but whether it is in dealing with people or in business ability, he is really much better than his peers.

The same goes for dealing with many things.

Mature, rational, with a decisiveness and ability that are not at his age.

The number of people in the conference room gradually increased, so Wen Ze didn't say any more, he walked to the side of his old classmate and sat down.

...

"Annian, it seems that we

Mr. Wen thinks highly of you.Stuck by an old classmate, I have to talk to you a few words before leaving.Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!ah. "

Gu Xin circled Qiao Annian's shoulders, hugged Lou his shoulders vigorously, and said with a smile.

At this moment, the real leaders of the companies have not yet arrived, and the meeting time has not yet started. Everyone in the room is chatting. Gu Xin's volume is not too loud, but there are also people from other departments sitting here.

I don't know, I thought he was valued by the president.

Coincidentally, the president of their company is named Wen.

Qiao Annian knew that Gu Xin was a joking character, so he replied in a joking tone: "Senior, don't make fun of me, I'm just a small team leader, no matter how much the general manager thinks highly of me, he can still let me be a Chairman?"

Gu Xin let go of his shoulders, looked him up and down, "Annian, I don't think you want to be the chairman, you want to shake the world."

It made Lin Zhao, He Xianjun, and Peng Yuxuan all laugh, and even the employees of other departments nearby heard it and held back their laughter.

As soon as the time for the meeting came, the bosses arrived one after another as if they had made an appointment.

No one is chatting in the meeting room.

Qiao Annian turned her phone to silent, bowed her head and sent a message to the child.

It's really hard to say when the ten o'clock meeting will be held. Tell Xiaolou in advance to save the silly boy from going there again in the winter and have to wait for him to end the meeting.

Qiao Annian: "Baby, there is an impromptu meeting in the morning. I don't know what time it will be. You and Gu Jin will have lunch together."

He Nanlou: "I'll wait for you."

Qiao Annian: "Okay. If you come over, you can go to my station and wait for me before I finish the meeting."

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Qiao Annian lowered his hair on WeChat, and all the participants finally arrived.

Qiao Annian turned the phone to silent and put it in his pocket.

It has been almost a month since Peng Yuxuan joined the company. This is the first time she has participated in such a large meeting. The little girl is a bit fresh.

Both Lin Zhao and He Xianjun were also relaxed. Besides being relaxed, they were also somewhat looking forward to and curious.

The expectation is that this time their department has won a big project for the company. The leaders should not mention the commendation during the meeting, should they mention it?

Curious, this is because I don't know what stage the concept map leak has been investigated. Although it has nothing to do with their department, it is the company's business after all, so it is impossible not to care about it at all.

Lin Zhao and He Xianjun attended the meeting with the mentality of being a mascot. Anyway, there are so many bigwigs, it is not their turn to speak at all.

As a result, when other departments finished their rational reports, the chairman changed his subject and directly named Qiao Annian, asking if Qiao Annian knew He Nanlou, the technical consultant of MT, Lin Zhao and He Xianjun They were all a little dumbfounded, let alone Peng Yuxuan who just joined the company.

They are all working in the mixed workplace, and the participants, including Gu Xin, Lin Zhao, and He Xianjun, fully understood what was going on when they heard it.The complexions of several people became uneasy, and they looked at Qiao Annian worriedly.

Even, the tone of Dong Feng, the chairman of the party, was not very sharp, and could even be called gentle, as if he was just asking casually.

It's just that the attendees aren't stupid either.

The chairman of the board is so well behaved, how could he ask personal questions at the meeting for no reason, not to mention, at this juncture when the concept map was leaked.

Qiao Annian had never felt so much attention at such a meeting where bigwigs gathered.

If Qiao Annian is really just a rookie who has just entered the workplace, he might be really scared.

For him who has been struggling for many years, today can only be regarded as a small scene.

Qiao Annian said truthfully: "Xiaolou is my younger brother. He is indeed working in MT. He is the technical consultant of MT."

Everyone

They were all waiting for him, waiting for him to justify himself.

Who would have thought that after this person replied this sentence, there would be no further text.

Wen Ze sighed inwardly.

What he said to Qiao Annian didn't work after all.

As the immediate superior, Wen Ze couldn't just stand by at this time, and it was inconvenient for Dong Feng to ask some questions, but he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. What do you think of the similarity?"

Wen Ze asked this question very gently. He didn't presuppose a position. He believed that Qiao Annian had something to do with the leak of the concept map, and even tried not to make the scene too sharp.

However, when Dong Feng pointed out the identity of He Nanlou, the meeting was destined to be not too gentle, especially for Qiao Annian, the person involved.

Qiao Annian: "The concept map didn't leak from me."

"Captain Qiao, it's not that we don't want to trust you. That is, you can't say that the concept map didn't leak from you, so we have to believe it, right? I mean, could it be you who didn't know in the case of……"

The person who spoke was Hao Zhenyu, the department manager of the R&D department.

The leak of the concept map must be investigated from the source of the R&D department.Every member of the R&D department, including the R&D manager himself, has been investigated, and his mouth is blistered because of this concept map leaked these days.

The bidding went bad, and he was criticized, the year-end bonus of the whole department was forfeited, and his salary was deducted. If he didn't find out who was stabbing him in the back, how could he be reconciled? !

Qiao Annian interrupted the R&D manager's speech, "Since Manager Hao thinks it's related to me, please show evidence."

"Okay. You want evidence, don't you?"

Hao Zhenyu gave his assistant a wink.

The assistant walks up to the projector in the conference room and plugs in the USB.

The figures of Qiao Annian and He Nanlou appeared in the picture.

It is a screen clip of the company's surveillance.

Qiao Annian watched it for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong with the surveillance.

"If you have no dissent, why are you wandering around our company with MT's technical consultant? Besides, two big men hug shoulders and hold hands for a while. It's not a parent, who knows you two..."

There were whispers in the conference room.

Wen Ze frowned and said, "Manager Hao, speak carefully."

Hao Zhenyu's words were too inattentive. How could this kind of subjective speculation, especially if it was a personal matter, be uttered so openly during the meeting.

Having been wronged and suspected that Qiao Annian hadn't shown any signs of embarrassment, when he heard Hao Zhenyu's words, Qiao Annian turned cold, "What does Manager Hao want to say?"

"Captain Qiao, we all have no right to intervene in the private affairs between you and Consultant He. However, how do you explain the fact that you took Consultant He to almost all the departments in the video that was played? What about it? Also, I heard that you usually take home your work handbag, right?"

Chairman Dong Feng spoke.

Qiao Annian: "Xiaolou is my younger brother. I showed my family around the place where I work. Is there anything wrong? The surveillance footage should be very clear. I just took him around. Not every department Go, I have never even stepped into the R&D department.”

Hao Zhenyu said excitedly: "But you let him go to your station!"

As soon as Hao Zhenyu finished speaking, his secretary reviewed the screen. The surveillance screen showed that Qiao Annian took He Nanlou to his office area.

Not only that, in the picture, he walked away for some unknown reason. Afterwards, He Nanlou sat down at his workstation and was using his hand.About ten seconds later, He Nanlou took out his mobile phone and took a picture of Qiao Annian's hand.

After that, he started using his portable again.

The participants let out a low exclamation,

Even some employees who were inclined to wait and see at first, looked at Qiao Annian with complicated eyes, as if they had seen with their own eyes that He Nanlou was stealing the company's secrets, and that Qiao Annian and He Nanlou were colluding. .

"At 3 minutes and 07 seconds, my brother sat in front of your desk for 3 minutes and 07 seconds, and even took pictures of your portable interface with your mobile phone. Team Leader Qiao, do you have any explanation for this?"

From the meeting to the present, the president Wen Congjing, who hadn't expressed his opinion much, looked at Qiao Annian and asked in a deep voice.

Qiao Annian only took the child to his workstation once.

He worked overtime temporarily, so he asked the children to come to his workstation. Later, when he finally finished his work, he printed out the documents and went to the reference room.

He knew that Xiaolou had touched his computer, and he clearly remembered what Xiaolou was doing during those three minutes.

Qiao Annian: "...the boot screen in my hand is Xiaolou, which is a photo of him when he was six years old. He changed it to a photo of him now. He is not taking pictures, he should be taking pictures. I logged into his own WeChat on my mobile, downloaded photos from his WeChat to my mobile, and changed the screensaver.”

Qiao Annian often changes the portable screen saver, usually with pictures of children in different stages.

During that period of insomnia, the first book he released was the photos of Xiaolou Tuanzi, so the screensaver was replaced with photos of Xiaolou when he was six years old.

As a result, Xiaolou came over that day, saw the screensaver in his hand, and replaced it with a photo of his current period.

Or a photo he hadn't seen before.

It should have been taken secretly by Gu Jin. In the photo, Xiao Lou was concentrating on the computer. The sunlight was projected through the glass window, shining on the young man's cold eyes, it was really beautiful.

Until now, his portable screen saver is still the photo of Xiaolou.

Hao Zhenyu sneered: "Team Leader Qiao, we are not interested in knowing about your love affair with you...the matter between you and that consultant He. Can you please make up a decent reason? You shouldn't Do we believe such an absurd reason?"

Qiao Annian said neither humble nor humble: "As you said, if you want to make up, at least make up a decent reason. Why should I give such a reason full of loopholes? The answer is very simple, because the above is all the facts."

...

Finally, the results of the meeting came out.

Qiao Annian was asked to suspend work for investigation.

The project he is in charge of now also needs to connect the work as soon as possible.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Zhao, who was usually the most active, didn't dare to make a sound, and He Xianjun and Peng Yuxuan followed behind the silent Qiao Annian.

He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that what he said now would annoy his boss.

Gu Xin put his arms around Qiao Annian's arm and walked side by side with him: "It's okay. What is clear will be cleared, and what is turbid will be turbid. I believe that the final investigation results will clear your innocence. Besides, you are the only one who works for the company. Get a project as big as Fuyuan. If you really disagree, why do such contradictory things, right? Don't worry too much, things will definitely come to light. Suspend work, suspend work, and we will take the annual leave early .”

"Ah."

Qiao Annian was already mentally prepared for this result.

Unhappy, but not too many surprises.

Qiao Annian turned his head and said to the three people behind him with their heads hanging down: "We may have to work hard for everyone next."

He Xianjun: "Boss, what time is this, and you still say such things."

Lin Zhao: "I don't understand. If you accept the investigation, you will accept the investigation. Why should you suspend work!"

Qiao Annian really knew the answer to this question. He smiled and said, "It should be because I'm worried that I will harm the company's interests again."

"Fuck!" Lin Zhao couldn't hold back, and cursed.

Qiao Annian pressed on his shoulder, and said to the others: "This afternoon, I'll share the work I'm doing with you."

Now, even

Gu Xin also became very sad.

He sighed: "Hey. Obviously, our department is not in charge of this project, and you shouldn't be involved in this matter anyway. Why, why did you get...forget it, let's not mention it. Ah , I’m about to get off work. Let’s go, let’s have lunch today. I invite you to have a big meal. The only way to relieve your worries is to overeat.”

Ok?

So fast, are you going to get off work soon?

Qiao Annian quickly took out his phone, 11:35.

Oops, it's time to get off work again.

Qiao Annian quickly put the phone on the ringing mode and sent a voice message to the child.

Waiting for the voice connection, Qiao Annian said to Gu Xin and Lin Zhao, "Senior, Yu Xuan, go eat first, I'll go there together when Xiaolou comes over."

Gu Xin opened her mouth, wanting to say that on the cusp of this crisis, she dares to have dinner with your brother, but she held back after thinking about it.

He just had a meal with his younger brother, so what could be wrong?

"That's fine, then I'll take them to dinner first."

Joannian nodded, "Yes."

...

Gu Xin took Lin Zhao and the others to the cafeteria on the seventh floor for dinner.

Qiao Annian took the elevator back to the office area.

Xiaolou just got off work, and he will drive Gu Jin's car over later.

"What happened?"

Qiao Annian was sorting out some of the materials that needed to be handed over, and was too focused to notice that the child had arrived until He Nanlou made a sound.

Qiao Annian paused when he clicked the mouse, and he raised his head, "Huh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"As soon as I stepped into your company today, I received countless attention gifts."

Joannian: "..."

How did the news spread so fast?

Also.

Now there are groups of this and that group everywhere.

As soon as it is posted in the work group, the big guy knows nothing?

Qiao Annian closed his hand, and he got up from his desk, "Could it be your illusion? Are you hungry? What do you want for lunch?"

He Nanlou held Qiao Annian's arm: "Qiao Annian—"

Qiao Annian said in a low voice: "We have surveillance here, we'll talk about it when we get out."

He Nanlou let go of Qiao Annian's hand.

Qiao Annian led He Nanlou to a surveillance blind spot at the top of the stairs.

"Now we can say—"

A head rests on the shoulder.

Qiao Annian pressed his forehead against He Nanlou's shoulder, and said in a slightly mournful voice, "Don't ask anything, just let me lean on for a while."

Just a moment... just fine.
