Every day in the office, Shen Lin was still worried and took advantage of her lunch break to call Na Wei.
"Hey, are you done? Nothing happened?"
Na Wei smiled bitterly: "Anyway, we broke up on bad terms. I think from this attitude, Xie Meilan might really be thinking about divorcing your brother."
Hearing Na Wei explain the situation, Shen Lin had a headache: "Husband, do you think our family is having a bad time this year? Why are so many bad things happening this year? First you were fired, and now Xie Meilan is going to get divorced again."
"Forget it, you can bring my brother to our house first, and then I can enlighten him properly when I get back."
"Okay, don't worry too much. I'm watching over Shen Lei and won't let anything happen to him."
Shen Lin hung up the phone and scratched her hair irritably. When she looked up, she saw Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue entering the company together.
"Mr. Qin."
"Manager Li."
In the past, because of Qin Feng's existence, people in the company had always called him "Mr. Xiao Qin", mainly to distinguish him from Qin Feng. Now that Qin Feng is gone, they basically all call him "Mr. Qin" directly.
Qin Hao nodded to Shen Lin, and Li Xiaoyue also showed a friendly smile.
After the two passed by, the colleagues around them started talking.
"I used to think that Mr. Qin was fair in doing things, but I didn't expect that he was also nepotistic."
"What's the point of this? It's a family business. That's not their business."
"The most unjust thing is that the president, what a good person he is, was fired just to make way for Mr. Qin's girlfriend."
Shen Lin pretended not to hear the comments from her colleagues. She knew her husband's abilities very well, and Qin Hao also gave him three million in stock options as compensation. This was already very kind. As for arranging his girlfriend to be the manager, , what does it have to do with her? What she cares about now is when she can become a full-time employee and get an extra two thousand yuan a month in salary.
In the general manager's office, Li Xiaoyue walked around and said, "This general manager's office is nothing special."
"Otherwise, what else do you want? Every day can only be regarded as a small business, and there is no need for such grandeur." Qin Hao said with a smile.
Li Xiaoyue put down the ornaments in her hands, glanced out the window, and said quietly: "I knew I wouldn't go to dinner with you just now, but now you know that I am your girlfriend."
"There is no airtight wall in the world. Sooner or later you will be noticed. The more sneaky you are, the more others will think there is something fishy. It is better to admit it openly."
Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips: "I always feel like I've been tricked by you. It's hard to earn the extra 20,000 yuan."
"It's too late to regret now. Your job has been taken over by someone else and you can't go back."
Li Xiaoyue snorted lightly and didn't hesitate anymore. She didn't like to get into trouble.
Qin Hao poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaoyue: "By the way, do you have formal clothes?"
"Is this considered formal wear?" Li Xiaoyue pointed to the down jacket she was wearing.
Qin Hao held his forehead for a while: "Forget it, I'll take you to buy a few sets after get off work."
"There is a dinner party hosted by investors tomorrow. Please go with me."
Li Xiaoyue blinked: "Is it the kind of dinner that only rich people can attend? Are there any celebrities, ladies or anything like that?"
Seeing the excitement on Li Xiaoyue's face, Qin Hao was happy: "I thought you didn't like this kind of occasion."
"Whether you like it or not, you have to experience it before you can say it. Without practice, you have no right to speak."
"Okay, I'll take you to pick out a dress after work."
Li Xiaoyue suddenly thought of something and frowned: "Will it be expensive?"
"Don't worry, the installation fee will be reimbursed."
"That's pretty much it."
Although her monthly salary has now increased to 40,000, her salary has not been paid yet. She does not want to scrimp on food and clothing just because of a set of clothes. Eating, drinking and having fun are her source of happiness, and clothes are just decoration.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaoyue was still sitting bored in the office fishing. Except for the occasional team leader who came to report on the progress of her work, almost no one came to disturb her.
This made Li Xiaoyue finish catching up on all the dramas she wanted to watch after get off work, so she had to rely on mindless mini-games on WeChat to pass the time.
Li Xiaoyue suddenly understood that it was no wonder that all the leaders kept a close eye on their employees. It turned out that it was all caused by boredom.
After finally getting off work in the afternoon, Li Xiaoyue did not shy away from telling Qin Hao about her fishing day.
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to tell your boss this?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled slyly: "It's off duty time now, you are no longer my boss."
"Then you are not afraid that I will settle the score later?"
"Huh, I'm not afraid. If you dare to bully me at work, I'll repay you twice as much after get off work."
Originally, Li Xiaoyue thought Qin Hao was going to take her to buy an exaggerated evening dress, but it turned out to be a very formal business attire.
"This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in this circle. If you wear an evening dress, it means that you are a vase, specially used to set off men." Qin Hao said.
Li Xiaoyue suddenly realized it and quickly entered the locker room with her professional clothes.
While Qin Hao was waiting outside for Li Xiaoyue to come out, a man and a woman walked into the store. Coincidentally, he knew the woman.
Xie Meilan didn't expect to meet Qin Hao in this place, and the expression on her face instantly froze. The middle-aged man beside her asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I've met you before."
Qin Hao looked at Xie Meilan with great interest. According to Shen Lin's reason for asking for leave, Xie Meilan's mother should have just passed away. At this time, she was not busy dealing with her mother's death, but she came here with a man to buy clothes.
, the key point is that this man is not Shen Lei.
"Ms. Xie, we meet again."
Xie Meilan didn't know why, but she always felt that Qin Hao's tone made her very uncomfortable. She just forced out a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, Mr. Qin is..."
"Oh, there is a dinner party tomorrow. I will accompany my girlfriend to pick out some outfits."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, the middle-aged man next to Xie Meilan came over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is the dinner Mr. Qin just mentioned held at the Bulgari Hotel?"
Seeing Qin Hao nodded slightly, the man took out his business card enthusiastically.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Lu Jie, and this is my business card."
Qin Hao took the business card: "Vice President of Harvest Financial, Mr. Lu."
"Is Mr. Qin also in finance?"
"That's right, but what I do is venture capital, which is not the same as yours." Qin Hao said casually.
Lu Jie became even more enthusiastic when he heard this: "In venture capital, connections, resources, and vision are all indispensable. Can I take the liberty to ask where Mr. Qin is employed?"
"Qin's Capital."
While talking, Li Xiaoyue came out of the fitting room. Not to mention that she can wear any kind of clothes if she is beautiful. Li Xiaoyue usually dresses more casually. The most expensive clothes should be her Hanfu sets, but after changing into
Professional suits are not inconsistent at all.
"That's right. I just need to do my hair. Let's choose this one first and then try something else."
Li Xiaoyue looked in the mirror for a while and felt good, so she entered the fitting room again with a smile on her face.
Xie Meilan lowered her voice and said to Lu Jie, "How about we change to another company?"
She didn't know why she always felt that Qin Hao looked at her in a strange way, as if he could see through her at a glance.
As a result, Lu Jie leaned into Xie Meilan's ear and said, "You can just choose one first, and I'll have a chat with Mr. Qin."
Xie Meilan looked at Lu Jie with confusion on her face.
Lu Jie whispered: "Qin Capital is the fastest-rising venture capital institution in the past two years. It has successively invested in many unicorn companies. The most dazzling one was the Series B investment in Cambrian last year. It is said that
Cambrian is already preparing for its IPO next year. Once the listing is successful, the profit will be at least ten times more."
"Moreover, the companies invested by Qin Capital in the past two years have all developed well. They are called 'Fujiang' in the industry. As long as projects involving Qin Capital are involved, financing will be easier. Mr. Qin, whose surname is also Qin, said
Maybe he is a family member of Qin Capital, and if your pension project can get investment from Qin Capital, maybe it can be revitalized."
After hearing what Lu Jie said, Xie Meilan realized that Qin Hao's identity was more than just the "everyday" general manager, and gave up the idea of leaving.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Qin. I happen to be attending a dinner party at the Bulgari Hotel tomorrow, so I would like to bring her over to choose some outfits."
Facing Lu Jie's explanation, Qin Hao showed a playful smile: "Oh, that's quite a coincidence. By the way, Mr. Lu is..."
Seeing that Lu Jie was about to spill the beans, Xie Meilan frowned and quickly said, "I am Mr. Lu's subordinate. Mr. Qin, please don't get me wrong."
"Oh, that's right. When I saw your talents and looks, I thought... I'm sorry, but I was mistaken."
Lu Jie did not hear the underlying meaning of Qin Hao's words. Instead, he was dissatisfied with Xie Meilan for putting aside the relationship. If he hadn't protected Xie Meilan at work, how could she have been promoted to the position of project manager easily? This time her mother
He was seriously ill, and he spent another 400,000 yuan, but the other party still looked distant.
Just when Xie Meilan was embarrassed and at a loss, Li Xiaoyue changed into an off-white professional suit and came out of the fitting room. Qin Hao had no intention of caring about this couple.
Xie Meilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked out a few sets of clothes and went to the fitting room.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Qin Hao introduced each other to Lu Jie for her.
"Wrap up all these sets."
"Okay sir." The counter girl happily went to the cashier.
Li Xiaoyue hesitated: "The clothes here are very expensive, just buy one set. I don't wear them often."
"It's okay, I'll wear it later."
Li Xiaoyue didn't understand Qin Hao's hint at all, but Lu Jie understood it instantly and showed a playful expression.
"Mr. Lu, let's leave first."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, see you tomorrow."
Not long after watching Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue check out and leave, Xie Meilan also put on professional suits and came out of the locker room.
"Well, this suit is good and suits your temperament very well."
Lu Jie's eyes shone.
After that, Xie Meilan tried on several more sets. When paying the bill, Lu Jie asked the counter girl to wrap them all up.
"There's no need to buy so much. I don't usually have the chance to wear such expensive clothes."
"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." Lu Jie blurted out. Seeing Xie Meilan frown slightly, he quickly made up for it: "I mean, when you get promoted in the future, such occasions may be more frequent, so you can't wear it every time.
This is the way to go, it’s too rude.”
Xie Meilan thought the same thing: "That will cost Mr. Lu money."
"Why are you so polite to me?" Lu Jie waved his hand and swiped his card directly.
This scene also left Xie Meilan in a dilemma. Her clothes were either domestic brands or off-season discounted models from big brands. In the past, she only dared to take a look at a formal suit like this, which cost more than 20,000 yuan, and even came in.
I didn’t even have the courage to go shopping, but now I easily own several sets.
When thinking of her husband Shen Lei's innocent and incompetent face, Xie Meilan felt nothing but disgust.
That night, Xie Meilan did not go home, but found a hotel. However, she did not ask Lu Jie to come up. After all, she was still a married woman, not to mention that she also planned to take this opportunity to test Lu Jie and see how he treated her.
How much patience do you have?
After thinking about it, Xie Meilan sent a message to Shen Lei, telling him that she would not go back tonight, and did not tell him why.
Standing in front of the glass window of the hotel, Xie Meilan looked at the bustling night scene outside the window and was lost in thought for a moment.
On the other side, Shen Lei was drinking with Na Wei and didn't notice the message on his phone at all.
Shen Lei's drinking capacity was not enough in front of Na Wei. Na Wei didn't even blush, he was already drunk and talking nonsense.
When Shen Lin came back, Shen Lei was already drinking like crazy, and the couple finally managed to hold him down.
"Why did you let my brother drink so much when you have nothing to do?" Shen Lin complained.
Na Wei's face was full of innocence: "I didn't ask him to drink. Did I stop him or not? Besides, your brother's current situation makes it even more painful to be awake."
Shen Lin felt a headache: "So, Xie Meilan really wants to divorce my brother?"
"Although she didn't say the word divorce, I can tell from her attitude that she doesn't want to live with your brother anymore," Na Wei said.
"Wife, don't leave me..."
Seeing Shen Lei drunkenly talking in his sleep, Shen Lin was furious: "You deserve it too. Over the years, you don't even know that the person you sleep with has changed. Every time you ask, you still say that your relationship is very good. Are you okay now?" It broke out all of a sudden and I was dumbfounded."
After settling Shen Lei on the sofa in the living room, Na Wei and Shen Lin went to take a shower respectively.
After taking a shower, Na Wei lay on the bed. When Na Wei was about to fall asleep, Shen Lin pushed him awake.
"Husband, you said Xie Meilan didn't say anything for so many years, why did it suddenly explode this time?"
Na Wei was confused and said casually: "In this case, either she is despairing, or she has found a new home."
"Xiajia? Are you saying that Xie Meilan cheated?" Shen Lin felt excited.
"Ah, cheating, who cheated?"
Shen Lin looked at her husband's confused look and knew that he had been tired for a long day, so she stopped tossing him, but her husband's words made her unable to sleep.
Do you want to remind your brother that Xie Meilan may have cheated?
No, if you guess wrong, wouldn't it make the conflict even more out of control?
