Training the Heavens

Chapter 10: Inviting Mr. Lu for Tea

Xie Meilan has been in a particularly good mood these days. She got her divorce certificate, moved into Lu Jie's big house, and was bought the brand-name bags and cosmetics that she had longed for but dared not buy.

When she arrived at the company, other people also knew about her relationship with Lu Jie, and they spoke to her in an extra polite manner. Some of them were even a bit flattering. These were things Xie Meilan had never experienced before, and for a moment she felt a little lost.

Seeing her silly look, Lu Jie was very satisfied. The next thing should be done by someone with a dull brain. If you replace her with someone smarter, how could she be fooled so easily?

Early that morning, Lu Jie drove his Land Rover to take Xie Meilan to work.

It's interesting to think about this: from Song Siming to Lu Jie, why do these poachers all drive Land Rovers? Perhaps it's like the idea that bathhouse owners all drive Cadillacs; it's become a kind of symbol.

"Mr. Lu, good morning!"

"Boss Lu, I've already written the plan you asked me to do yesterday overnight. When do you think I should report to you?"

"Mei Lan, your report is well written. I have a new project for you to take charge of later!"

As soon as he entered the company, people kept greeting Lu Jie, and occasionally someone would greet Xie Meilan. This made Xie Meilan feel that she had really chosen the right person. Who would pay attention to her before!
"What a shame! Now she's just like the boss lady!" Some people also complained secretly behind her back.

But Xie Meilan didn't care. Not to mention that no one dared to say it in front of her, even if they said it, she would just take it as pride. "It's my ability to attract Mr. Lu. If you have the ability, why don't you hook up with a CEO and show me?"

After returning to his office and taking a quick look at his emails, Lu Jie called a morning meeting with the company's middle-level managers and invited Xie Meilan in as well. In the past, Xie Meilan was not qualified to attend such meetings, but now, for the sake of future plans, Lu Jie invited her in as well.

After receiving the notice, Xie Meilan immediately walked into the meeting room in high spirits. She had just divorced that loser Shen Lei, and now she had a new opportunity in her career. Such a life was simply too wonderful.

"Each department should report on their work first!" Lu Jie sat at the top of the conference table, listening to the reports of his subordinates, but he was thinking in his mind how to make the next plan look flawless.

Xie Meilan listened to the huge figures spewing out of the mouths of these backbones of the company, and her mind drifted away. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before she could handle big projects like them, and then there would be six-figure bonuses, Hermès bags, and Chanel dresses. Isn't this the life she has always dreamed of?
"Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the meeting.

The company's receptionist walked in with two strangers, looking reserved. "Boss Lulu, these two want to discuss something with you!"

Lu Jie frowned and looked over. He saw that the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes and had ordinary looks. They were not noticeable in the crowd. So he said impatiently, "Can't we talk about it after the meeting? How do you do your job?"

"Mr. Lu, we have some information that we need to consult with you. Please cooperate!" The older of the two walked up to Lu Jie, took out a hardcover ID and handed it to him.

Seeing the two names on the ID that matched the names of the Beijing Super League teams, Lu Jie stood up subconsciously, "No, what do you want to know from me?"

The man said expressionlessly, "We'll discuss the details when we get there. Please cooperate!"

"I need to verify your identity!" Lu Jie said calmly.

"You guys go out first!" The man looked around, and the others hurried out without waiting for Lu Jie to react. The two words on the cover of the ID card were indeed quite intimidating, and they didn't want to be involved in any of it.

Xie Meilan glanced at Lu Jie, and seeing that he had no objection, she followed the crowd out. However, she was stopped before she reached the door, "Xie Meilan? Come with us too!" "Ah? Me?" Xie Meilan's face was full of disbelief. How could it have anything to do with me?
Lu Jie took out his cell phone and dialed 12339 to verify the other party's identity. Then his and Xie Meilan's cell phones were taken away and turned off. He then followed the two men out of the company.

As soon as they entered the elevator, the company exploded. "Holy crap! What the hell is going on? Mr. Lu was actually invited in for tea!"

"Who could know this? Who would dare to know this? I advise you not to talk about this anymore. If it were the police, it would be fine, but who among the Jinyiwei would dare to get involved in anything?"

"Yes, yes, yes. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

The elevator went down to the underground parking lot, and the group of four got into an ordinary car. After getting out, the car turned around on the street and finally drove into an ordinary yard.

After entering, Lu Jie and Xie Meilan were taken in for questioning separately. The two people who had just shown their IDs were responsible for questioning Lu Jie. They sat down at their seats and someone brought Lu Jie a cup of tea.

Lu Jie usually thought the legend of drinking tea was just amusing, but now that it happened to him, he had no interest in making fun of it. He couldn't help but ask the question he had asked many times in the car, "What do you want from me?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Qianjun. Lin means "Lin" in the style of "Lin Ancao Jingfeng", Qian means "Thousand Riders Juan Pinggang", and Jun means "Shiwu Congjun Zheng"! I called you here to get some information, so don't be nervous. Just answer whatever I ask! Don't hide anything, and don't say anything careless. I think you know the consequences of saying the wrong thing!"

The two people had a clear division of labor, Lin Qianjun was responsible for questioning, and the other was responsible for recording.

"I will definitely cooperate with your work." Lu Jie's mouth was extremely dry now, and he quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Then let's start! What is your relationship with Xie Meilan?" Lin Qianjun suddenly opened his eyes and swept his sharp eyes over Lu Jie, scaring him so much that he couldn't help but shiver.

"We're just colleagues. Okay, we've been in contact for quite a while during work, and I've slowly developed a crush on her. A few days ago, she got divorced and moved in with me!"

Lu Jie knew that he couldn't hide these things from others, so he could only answer truthfully.

"How long have you known each other?"

"More than two years? Three years? I can't remember exactly, I've known her since the day she joined the company!"

"You two have been living together, and you don't even remember this? What is it about her that you like?"

"Well, she is gentle and considerate, and knows how to take care of people. I'm old, and I need a wife like this." Lu Jie racked his brains to find an excuse for himself.

"Who decided to recruit Xie Meilan to your company?"

"The final decision is mine!"

"From a work experience and personal ability perspective, Xie Meilan's competitiveness isn't very strong. Why did you hire her?"
