Chapter 1033 Ms. Xie, what a coincidence
Every day in the office, Shen Lin was still worried and called Na Wei during lunch break.
"Hey, are you done? Is everything okay?"
Na Wei smiled bitterly: "Anyway, they parted on bad terms. From the looks of it, Xie Meilan might really be thinking of divorcing your brother."
After hearing what Na Wei said, Shen Lin felt a headache: "Husband, do you think our family has bad luck this year? Why did all these bad things happen this year? First you were fired, and now Xie Meilan wants a divorce."
"Forget it, just bring my brother to our house first, and I'll give him some advice when I get back."
"Okay, don't worry too much. I'm watching Shen Lei and I won't let anything happen to him."
Shen Lin hung up the phone and scratched her hair in annoyance. When she looked up, she saw Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue entering the company together.
"Mr. Qin."
"Manager Li."
Before, because of Qin Feng's existence, people in the company had always called him "Mr. Qin", mainly to distinguish him from Qin Feng. Now that Qin Feng is gone, basically everyone just calls him "Mr. Qin".
Qin Hao nodded at Shen Lin, and Li Xiaoyue also gave a friendly smile.
After the two of them walked away, their colleagues began to talk about it.
"I always thought that Mr. Qin was fair in his work, but I didn't expect that he was also nepotism."
"What's the big deal? It's a family business. It's just a matter of a word from them."
"The one who was wronged the most was the CEO. He was such a nice person, but he was fired just for giving way to CEO Qin's girlfriend."
Faced with the discussions of her colleagues, Shen Lin pretended not to hear. She was very clear about her husband's abilities, and Qin Hao also gave him three million in options as compensation, which was already very generous. As for arranging his girlfriend to be a manager, what did it have to do with her? What she cared about now was when she could get a permanent job and earn an extra two thousand yuan a month.
Li Xiaoyue walked around the general manager's office and said, "There's nothing special about this general manager's office."
"Then what else do you want? We are just a small business. There is no need to be so grand." Qin Hao said with a smile.
Li Xiaoyue put down the ornaments in her hand, glanced out the window, and said faintly: "If I had known earlier, I would not have gone to dinner with you just now. Now everyone knows that I am your girlfriend."
"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Sooner or later, it will be discovered. The more sneaky you are, the more people will think there is something fishy going on. It is better to admit it openly."
Li Xiaoyue pouted: "I always feel like I've been cheated by you. It's not easy to earn the extra 20,000 yuan."
"It's too late to regret now. Your job has been taken over by someone else. You can't go back."
Li Xiaoyue snorted and didn't bother about it anymore. She wasn't the type to dwell on trivial matters.
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 at the down jacket on her body.
Qin Hao held his forehead with his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll take you to buy a few sets after get off work."
"There's a dinner party hosted by an investor tomorrow. Please go with me."
Li Xiaoyue blinked: "Is it the kind of dinner party that only rich people can attend? Are there any celebrities, socialites or anything like that?"
Seeing Li Xiaoyue's excited look, 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 first. Without practice, you have no right to speak."
"Okay, I'll take you to pick out a dress after get off work."
Li Xiaoyue suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Will it be expensive?"
"Don't worry, the clothing expenses will be reimbursed."
"That's pretty much it."
Although her monthly salary has now increased to 40,000, it has not been paid yet. She does not want to live frugally just for a set of clothes. Eating, drinking and having fun are the sources of her happiness, and clothes are just embellishment.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaoyue was still sitting in the office bored. Except for the occasional team leader coming to report on work progress, basically no one came to disturb her.
As a result, Li Xiaoyue finished watching all the dramas she wanted to watch after get off work, and she had to rely on mindless games on WeChat to pass the time.
Li Xiaoyue suddenly understood. No wonder those leaders kept a close eye on their employees. It turned out that it was all because they were too bored.
After finally making it to the afternoon when get off work was over, Li Xiaoyue did not hesitate to complain to Qin Hao about her slacking off day.
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say this to your leader?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled slyly: "It's time to get off work now. You are no longer my boss."
"Then aren't you afraid that I will settle the score with you later?"
"Humph, I'm not afraid. If you dare to bully me during work, I will pay you back double after get off work."
Originally, Li Xiaoyue thought Qin Hao was going to take her to buy a rather exaggerated evening dress, but it turned out to be a very formal business suit.
"This can be considered an unwritten rule in this circle. If you wear an evening gown, it means you are a vase, used to set off men." Qin Hao explained.
Li Xiaoyue suddenly realized and quickly went into the locker room in her professional attire.
Just when 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. The expression on her face froze instantly. The middle-aged man next to her asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I've met him before."
Qin Hao looked at Xie Meilan with interest. According to the reason why Shen Lin asked for leave, Xie Meilan's mother should have just passed away. Instead of dealing with her mother's funeral at this time, she came here with a man to buy clothes. The key point is that this man is not Shen Lei.
"Thank you, Ms. Xie. Nice to meet you again."
Xie Meilan didn't know why, but she always felt that Qin Hao's tone made her uncomfortable. She just forced a smile and said, "Yes, what a coincidence, Mr. Qin is..."
"Oh, there's a dinner party tomorrow, and I'm here with my girlfriend to pick out some clothes."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, the middle-aged man next to Xie Meilan came over.
"Was the dinner that President Qin just mentioned held at the Bulgari Hotel?"
Seeing Qin Hao nod slightly, the man enthusiastically took out his business card.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Lu Jie, and this is my business card."
Qin Hao took the business card: "Vice President of Harvest Finance, Mr. Lu."
"Is Mr. Qin also in the financial field?"
"I guess so, but I'm in venture capital, which is not the same track as you guys." Qin Hao said casually.
Lu Jie became even more enthusiastic after hearing this: "To do venture capital, connections, resources, and vision are all indispensable. May I ask where Mr. Qin is employed?"
"Qin Capital."
As they were talking, Li Xiaoyue came out of the fitting room. It is said that beautiful people can carry off any kind of clothes. Usually, Li Xiaoyue dressed casually. The most expensive clothes should be her sets of Hanfu. But she looked very harmonious with the professional suits.
"Not bad, but I need to do something with my hair. I'll just keep this set as a backup and try something else."
Li Xiaoyue looked at herself in the mirror for a while and thought she looked good, so she went back into the fitting room with a smile on her face.
Xie Meilan lowered her voice and said to Lu Jie: "How about we change to another one?"
She didn't know why, but 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 close to Xie Meilan's ear and said, "Please choose one first. I will talk to Mr. Qin."
Xie Meilan looked at Lu Jie with confusion on her face.
Lu Jie whispered, "Qin Capital is the fastest-growing venture capital firm in the past two years. It has invested in many unicorn companies in succession. The most dazzling one was the investment in Cambrian's B round last year. It is said that Cambrian is already preparing for an IPO next year. Once it is successfully listed, 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. The industry calls them 'lucky generals'. As long as Qin Capital participates in a project, it will be easier to raise funds. Mr. Qin is also surnamed Qin, so he might be a family member of Qin Capital. If your elderly care project can get investment from Qin Capital, it might be able to be revitalized."
After hearing what Lu Jie said, Xie Meilan realized that Qin Hao's identity was not just the general manager of "Everyday", and she gave up the idea of leaving.
"Boss Qin, what a coincidence! I also have to attend a dinner at the Bulgari Hotel tomorrow. I can bring her here to choose some clothes."
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 let the cat out of the bag, Xie Meilan frowned and quickly said, "I am Mr. Lu's subordinate, Mr. Qin, please don't misunderstand me."
"Oh, really? I saw that you two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and I thought... Sorry, I was mistaken."
Lu Jie did not hear the hidden meaning in Qin Hao's words. Instead, he was dissatisfied with Xie Meilan for severing her relationship with him. If he had not protected Xie Meilan at work, how could she have been promoted to the position of project manager so easily? This time, her mother was seriously ill, and he had spent another 400,000 yuan, but she still acted distant.
Just when Xie Meilan was embarrassed and at a loss, Li Xiaoyue changed into a beige professional suit and came out of the fitting room. Qin Hao no longer had the heart to care about this couple.
Xie Meilan then 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 her to Lu Jie.
"Pack up all these sets."
"Yes, sir." The salesgirl happily went to the cashier counter.
Li Xiaoyue hesitated: "The clothes here are very expensive, so I can just buy one set. I don't wear them often."
"It's okay, I'll wear it later when I need to."
Li Xiaoyue didn't understand Qin Hao's hint at all, but Lu Jie understood it immediately and showed a playful expression.
"Boss Lu, we'll leave first then."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, see you tomorrow."
Not long after watching Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue pay the bill and leave, Xie Meilan also changed into a professional suit and came out of the locker room.
"Well, this suit is good, it suits your temperament very well."
Lu Jie's eyes lit up.
After that, Xie Meilan tried on several more sets, and when checking out, Lu Jie asked the salesgirl to pack 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 frowning slightly, he quickly made amends: "What I mean is that when you get promoted in the future, such occasions may occur more frequently. You can't wear the same outfit every time. That would be too rude."
Xie Meilan thought the same thing and said, "Then let Mr. Lu pay for it."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Lu Jie waved his hand and swiped the card directly.
This scene also made Xie Meilan feel conflicted. Her clothes were either domestic brands or out-of-season discounted models of big brands. She used to only dare to look at formal suits like this one that cost more than 20,000 yuan from afar and didn't even have the courage to come in and shop. But now she easily owns several sets.
When Xie Meilan thought of her husband Shen Lei's innocent and incompetent face, she felt only disgust.
That night, Xie Meilan did not go home, but found a hotel. However, she did not let Lu Jie come up. After all, she is still a married woman. Moreover, she also plans to take this opportunity to test Lu Jie and see how patient he is with her.
After thinking about it, Xie Meilan sent a message to Shen Lei, telling him that she would not be going back tonight, but did not say why.
Standing in front of the hotel's glass window, 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 alcohol tolerance was totally not enough in front of Na Wei. Na Wei's face didn't even turn red, but he was already drunk and talking nonsense.
When Shen Lin came back, Shen Lei was already drunk and acting crazy, and the couple had a hard time calming him down.
"Why did you let my brother drink so much alcohol for no reason?" Shen Lin complained.
Na Wei looked innocent: "It wasn't me who asked him to drink. I tried to stop him but failed. Besides, your brother is in such a condition now. It would be more painful for him to be awake."
Shen Lin had a headache: "So, Xie Meilan really wants to divorce my brother?"
"Although she didn't say the word divorce, from the look on her face, she probably doesn't want to live with your brother anymore," said Na Wei.
"Wife, please don't leave me..."
Watching Shen Lei drunkenly talking in his sleep, Shen Lin was furious: "You deserve it. You didn't even notice that the person beside you had changed over the years. Every time I asked you, you said that your relationship was good. Now that you're fine, you're exploding all of a sudden. You must be dumbfounded."
After settling Shen Lei on the sofa in the living room, Na Wei and Shen Lin went to take a shower.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Na Wei was about to fall asleep when Shen Lin pushed him awake.
"Hubby, you said Xie Meilan didn't say anything for so many years, why did she suddenly explode this time?"
Na Wei was confused and said casually: "In this case, either she is completely disheartened, or she has found another employer."
"Next home? Are you saying Xie Meilan cheated on her?" Shen Lin's heart shuddered.
"Ah, cheating, who cheated?"
Shen Lin looked at her husband's confused face and knew that he was tired after a day's work, so she decided not to bother him any more. However, her husband's words made her toss and turn in bed.
Should I remind my brother that Xie Meilan might be cheating on me?
No, if I guess wrong, wouldn't the conflict become even more out of control?
