My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 41 Unexpected Surprise

Li Jiuhe knew that General Manager Zheng had misunderstood, and shook his head, saying, "It's not the Urban Construction Bureau, it has nothing to do with our decoration industry."

"What kind of unit is that?" General Manager Zheng asked curiously.

His attitude had completely changed at this moment. After all, no matter what, Li Jiuhe was now a government employee and no longer his subordinate.

As he asked, he got up and poured Li Jiuhe a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Seeing that the usually aloof and domineering President Zheng had suddenly changed like this, Li Jiuhe was a little unaccustomed to it.

He replied, "You probably don't know this unit, but we have close working relationships with the police department."

"Holy crap!" President Zheng's expression changed, then he understood. "Then I won't ask anymore. It was my fault for being nosy. Old Li, come back to the company to see us more often. If there's anything we need to help each other out, don't be shy."

He didn't know about the Special Events Administration Bureau, but he had subconsciously assumed that Li Jiuhe's unit was a classified agency like the Ministry of State Security or the Ministry of Security.

Such a special organization is not one that a small decoration company owner like him can afford to offend.

Even if we don't cross paths again in the future, we still need to maintain a good relationship. After all these years in the business world, Mr. Zheng still has that kind of insight.

Li Jiuhe took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You'd better not ask me for help. The trouble our unit has to deal with is real trouble, the kind that could kill someone if we're not careful."

"Ah?" President Zheng was slightly surprised, and nodded cautiously. "Okay...okay."

The two chatted for a while.

Before long, his colleagues in the large office were surprised to see Li Jiuhe and General Manager Zheng walking out of the office with smiles on their faces. It seemed that General Manager Zheng had personally escorted him out.

I never expected the two of them to have such a harmonious relationship!

Taking the opportunity, Li Jiuhe asked, "President Zheng, have I ever mentioned to you before that I have a six-year-old daughter?"

General Manager Zheng shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember, but the HR department has all your information..."

When Li Jiuhe returned to his workstation and was about to leave with his personal belongings, the head of the human resources department came running over excitedly.

"Li Jiuhe, this is your information form. General Manager Zheng just asked me to give you a copy."

He then handed an employee information form to Li Jiuhe, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "President Zheng has already spoken to you; your full salary for this month will be paid."

As he spoke, he gently patted Li Jiuhe's shoulder to show that the two had a good relationship.

Those who can become heads of the human resources department are all shrewd people. They could tell from General Manager Zheng's tone that Li Jiuhe's position might be extraordinary, so they immediately began to get close to him.

Li Jiuhe was somewhat taken aback, but he knew what was going on and didn't want to be polite with President Zheng about it anymore.

Now that he's won the lottery and has some savings, he doesn't care if he doesn't get a single penny here.

He also heard Xu Wei mention that the Special Incident Investigation Bureau's salary was relatively high, about five times that of ordinary civil servants.

After all, this job is more dangerous than that of a regular police officer; you never know what you might encounter next.

Even if he doesn't buy lottery tickets anymore, Li Jiuhe will no longer have to worry about paying off his mortgage.

He glanced at the information form in his hand. The family information section did not show that he had a daughter; it only listed his wife, Lin Fengya's, name.

After handing over all his work and saying goodbye to everyone, he left carrying a cardboard box in his arms, which contained his personal belongings.

Just as I arrived at the elevator lobby, the elevator doors opened, and Jiang Qing, a female colleague I hadn't seen in a long time, stepped out of the elevator.

Jiang Qing was not tall, her face looked somewhat haggard, and she was not in good health, looking like she was recovering from a long illness.

Upon seeing Li Jiuhe, she looked at the cardboard box in Li Jiuhe's hand with surprise: "Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

She was a few years older than Li Jiuhe and usually called him "Little Li".

Li Jiuhe remembered that he hadn't seen Jiang Qing for more than two months. Jiang Qing had gone on a trip abroad the month before last, but she fell seriously ill there and had been receiving treatment ever since.

It was only after I made an overseas call to ask Mr. Zheng for leave that everyone found out.

Li Jiuhe said, "Sister Jiang, I've resigned."

"Oh, why did you resign?" Jiang Qing asked in surprise. "Did you find a better job?"

Li Jiuhe nodded: "Yes, Sister Jiang, you should have just returned to the company today."

If Jiang Qing had returned earlier, she would definitely have known that he had been absent from work for more than ten days without asking for leave.

Jiang Qing nodded, forcing a smile: "Medical expenses abroad are too high. I rushed back to China as soon as I recovered. I thought I'd come to the company today to report for duty and explain to President Zheng."

"Okay, Sister Jiang, you go ahead with your work. President Zheng is in his office." Li Jiuhe pressed the elevator button.

"Okay, let's keep in touch." Jiang Qing walked towards the company entrance.

Just then, Li Jiuhe subconsciously asked, "Sister Jiang, um... have I ever mentioned to you before that I have a six-year-old daughter?"

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I remember..."

Li Jiuhe's head buzzed, and he looked at Jiang Qing with surprise and astonishment.

His performance was so intense that it startled Jiang Qing, who stared at him with wide eyes.

Li Jiuhe quickly stepped forward, staring intently into Jiang Qing's eyes: "Sister Jiang, do you remember I have a daughter?"

Sister Jiang nodded: "I remember, it was a long time ago when we were having dinner with other colleagues at the restaurant downstairs, and you even showed us pictures of your daughter on your phone. I think her name was... um, Li Yi, right?"

"Yes, her name is Li Yi. My daughter's name is Li Yi." Li Jiuhe nodded excitedly.

This made Jiang Qing suspect that something might have happened to his daughter: "Is your daughter... alright? Why are you suddenly asking me this?"

Li Jiuhe came to her senses and tried to calm herself down.

He didn't answer Jiang Qing's question, but continued to ask, "Do you remember when that dinner party was?"

Jiang Qing thought about it carefully for a moment: "It seems to be in the first half of this year, around February or March."

"Sister Jiang, you haven't changed your phone number, have you? Is it still the same one as before?"

"Yeah, it wasn't changed."

"Then you go ahead and get busy, I'll contact you later." Li Jiuhe nodded.

He knew he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, and it was impossible for Jiang Qing to know what was going on with him.

However, the discovery has already excited Li Jiuhe greatly. He never expected that someone would still remember that he had a daughter, especially since he had told the person about it half a year ago.

In other words, he already knew he had a daughter at least six months ago and had told Jiang Qing about it. If his understanding had been altered, it must have happened recently. How could it have been traced back to six months ago?

Moreover, Jiang Qing just mentioned that she showed her daughter's photo to her colleagues during a dinner party, but why did no one else remember it, except for Jiang Qing?
