Chapter 1036 Complete Fallout
Xie Meilan came to the front desk with an anxious mood, but Shen Lin said in a very calm tone: "I'll leave after saying a few words. I won't delay you for too long."
"Okay, there's a coffee shop downstairs, let's go have a cup of coffee."
"You're pregnant, forget the coffee, let's have milk tea."
Xie Meilan was speechless for a moment. Because she was worried that Shen Lin would make things worse, she had no choice but to follow Shen Lin into the elevator.
After the two of them came to the milk tea shop and sat down, before Shen Lin could say anything, Xie Meilan took the lead and said, "Sister, Shen Lei and I are not children anymore. Let us resolve our matters ourselves."
Shen Lin took a deep breath: "Brothers and sisters, if it was an ordinary young couple quarreling, I would not interfere even if you tore up the house. But now you are going to get a divorce. Marriage is a matter for two families, so divorce should be the same." , Now that my parents are not here, I, as a sister, have to find out the reason for them, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to my parents if they ask later, don’t you think so? "
Xie Meilan was speechless for a moment, unable to find a rebuttal argument.
Shen Lin said in a gentle tone: "Brothers and sisters, although I don't know what happened to you, but don't worry, I am also a woman, and I will not blindly favor Shen Lei from his perspective. If you have any grievances in your heart, feel free to tell me Tell me, it's Shen Lei's fault, and I will scold him severely for you."
Xie Meilan didn't say anything when she heard this. She didn't want to argue with Shen Lei about who was right or wrong. She only had one goal: divorce, but she couldn't say this clearly in front of Shen Lin.
When Shen Lin saw this, she was the first to scold her younger brother: "I understand Shen Lei's character. He is a bit dull and not very interesting. It is true that his job makes less money, but including various benefits a year, he earns more than twenty Wan, I remember that when he took the exam for this unit, it was with your approval, right?"
Xie Meilan retorted impatiently: "Yes, I agreed to this unit at the beginning, but how did I know that he was so unmotivated? Everyone else in the unit was trying to show their presence in front of the leader, but he didn't even bother to maintain the relationship. We I have been living in the capital for many years, but I can’t even raise the down payment for a house. I’ve had enough of this life with the end in sight.”
"Yes, Shen Lei did not do well in this regard. He also said he would change it. Can't you give him a chance?"
Xie Meilan smiled sadly: "Sister, I am 35 this year. I have been waiting for him for ten years. How many more decades do you think I can spend with him? I just want to live for myself once, can't I?"
Shen Lin opened her mouth and changed the topic: "Isn't that what you said? Your ten years are ten years, isn't Shen Lei's ten years not ten years?"
"Okay, since you mentioned the down payment for the house, yes, Shen Lei has indeed not saved much money in these years, but including various benefits, he still has an income of 200,000 yuan a year. Even if his salary was lower before, in the past ten years Calculated, there is an income of 1.2 million, and your income is similar to his. Calculated for two people, they have more than 2 million in ten years. But in the past ten years, before your mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, your savings were only 20 million. Ten thousand."
"The clothes Shen Lei wears are all sold on the street. He wears them for three or four years. All the food he wears are bought on Taobao. How about you? Any outfit you wear must cost several thousand. There are also various There are some brand-name cosmetics that I can’t bear to use. Did Shen Lei complain when you bought them?”
"You dislike Shen Lei for being poor and unable to buy a house. Have you ever thought about it? Your income is not low. Why have you only saved so little money in ten years? Didn't you spend the rest of the money? At this time I hate that my brother can’t raise the down payment for a house. Have you worked frugally with him to save for the down payment?”
Xie Meilan became angry and gritted her teeth: "Now that you live in a big house and wear a diamond ring, of course you can persuade me to be more generous and continue to go back with Shen Lei and suffer poverty."
"Just now, I was really naive and thought that you would do it for the sake of being a woman. Thinking about it from my perspective, now it seems that you just stand and talk without pain in your back."
After saying that, Xie Meilan stood up directly and said: "Go back and tell Shen Lei that if you don't sign the divorce agreement in a week, we will see you in court."
Shen Lin was so angry that she trembled and shouted at Xie Meilan's back: "If you want to file a lawsuit, file a lawsuit. Let me tell you Xie Meilan, don't think that the matter between you and that Mr. Lu was done perfectly. If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself!"
Xie Meilan was shocked when she heard this, but when she thought that she and Lu Jie had no real relationship, she was not afraid even if they went to court, so she strode back to the company without looking back.
After Shen Lin returned home, she was so angry that she scolded Xie Meilan. As a result, she quickly told Lu Jie's story. After hearing this, Shen Lei wanted to go to Xie Meilan to explain clearly.
"Okay, I'm determined to divorce you, so what's the point of making it clear." Shen Lin said angrily.
Shen Lei held his head, feeling aggrieved like a child: "Why did she treat me like this? How could she become like this?"
Seeing her brother in pain, Shen Lin felt uncomfortable and comforted in a low voice: "Shen Lei, you are no longer a child now. When you encounter such a problem, you have to learn to face it."
"Facing it, how can I face it? Sister, ten years, I have been in the capital for ten years, my wife and children are gone, I have nothing~~~"
Na Wei and Shen Lin looked at each other and could only pat Shen Lei on the shoulder, silently comforting them.
In the following week, Shen Lei tried to communicate with Xie Meilan several times, but Xie Meilan refused directly. She had secretly had an abortion without telling Shen Lei and stayed in the hospital for a week.
Shen Lei did not find Xie Meilan at his company, and spent the whole week in a daze.
Shen Lin saw it and was anxious, so she could only let Na Wei continue to keep an eye on Shen Lei, and put the job search aside for the time being.
At the same time, the A round of financing of Everyday was finally landed, and the valuation given by the three investment companies was close to 2 billion yuan, thanks to the sales growth of Everyday after the beginning of the year.
In addition to the hyaluronic acid mask, Qin Hao also launched several popular single products such as "Firming Anti-wrinkle Mask" and "Seaweed Mask". With the increasing popularity of live streaming, the "Everyday" brand has already gained considerable popularity in the single mask category.
This is also the main reason why investors are optimistic about "Everyday". Investment is about the future. One hot product can be said to be luck, but the successive launch of hot products is enough to show that the company's business model is feasible.
The A round of financing brought a cash flow of 400 million yuan to "Everyday", and the option rewards of the company's executives were also redeemed. For example, Jiang Shan received nearly 20 million options, but this option contract will not start to enjoy dividends until next year.
This also made the executives of "Everyday" very motivated. Before, they were at most senior workers. No matter how well they worked throughout the year, they would just get more year-end bonuses. But now it is different. Getting options is equivalent to being shareholders of the company. No matter how many options there are, their identities are different, and they are definitely motivated to make money for themselves.
Of course, Qin Hao also received an option reward of 100 million yuan. Qin Lingling knows very well that "Everyday" can have today's glory, all thanks to Qin Hao's planning and strategizing. It not only solved the aging problem of the company left by Lao Wang, but also opened up the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
Let "Everyday" transform from a "middleman" who relied solely on medical beauty institutions to a brand from product research and development to having its own sales channels.
And it took Qin Hao just over a year to make such a transformation.
This 100 million option bonus is nothing to Qin Hao, but he did not refuse it. He deserves it. If it were not for the brother-sister relationship between Qin Lingling and him, he would have earned much more than this by spending his energy anywhere else.
"I'll invite a chef to my house tonight to reward you, the great contributor."
Faced with Qin Lingling's invitation, Qin Hao directly refused: "I'm afraid it's not possible tonight. I have an appointment with Xiaoyue."
"You are a guy who values women over sisters. Now your girlfriend is more important than your sister, right?" Qin Lingling pretended to be angry.
Qin Hao laughed and said teasingly: "Sister, look at what you said, when will Xiaoyue be more important than you?"
"Go~~~get out, you really forgot about me when you got a wife."
When Qin Hao came out of the president's office and walked through the office area, the employees along the way stood up and applauded spontaneously, especially some old employees. Thinking back to this time last year, due to Wang Ruizhi's becoming a monk, the whole company was in a panic. Many people felt that they would lose their jobs. At their age, it was too difficult to find a job with similar salary and benefits. A large group of young college students with better education and more energy than them poured into the market.
"Okay, I won't give you a raise even if you flatter me. Just do your own things." Qin Hao laughed and scolded.
Everyone laughed for a while, and then they started to work.
Only Li Xiaoyue came over with a smile, holding a document in her hand: "Boss Qin, please sign for me."
Qin Hao took the folder and saw that it was an A4 paper with a thumbs up on it.
"There seems to be something wrong with this data. Go to your office and explain it to me."
As she said that, she pulled Li Xiaoyue into her office and closed the door while pulling down the curtains.
"Your boyfriend got 100 million RMB options today. Isn't it a bit perfunctory to reward him like this?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled: "I drew this myself. The gift is small but the sentiment is great."
"You can't just say whether the friendship is great or not. There must be some actual performance."
Seeing Qin Hao's smirk and pointed expression, Li Xiaoyue spat: "Don't even think about it. I won't wear that kind of clothes at home."
"It's just a professional suit. Besides, you don't wear it at work. It's quite expensive to buy it. It's a waste if you don't wear it."
Faced with Qin Hao's "earnest" persuasion, Li Xiaoyue bit her silver teeth: "No, you still have the nerve to say that. Such expensive clothes can be torn up just by saying it. You can't wear it after wearing it once. It's a waste. It's enough for me to buy several sets of Hanfu."
"Hanfu is also fine." Qin Hao's eyes lit up.
"Hanfu is even worse, they are all my collections!" Li Xiaoyue said angrily. She could tolerate other things, but every piece of Hanfu she bought was carefully selected, this is the bottom line.
"Am I not as important as a set of clothes in your heart?"
"Eh, disgusting, will you let me eat later?"
Qin Hao saw that this girl was not interested, and could only sigh helplessly. It seems that he still has a long way to go.
After get off work, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue came to a nearby Western restaurant. In fact, Qin Hao has never liked Western food. It was mainly because Li Xiaoyue heard recommendations from people in a group, so he took this opportunity to come and try it.
As a result, it was a pitfall without any surprise. The taste was average, and the price was much more expensive than other Western restaurants.
"I left that group later. I still recommended this crap. It seems that the group management was bribed."
Just as Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao came out of the box, they bumped into a man and a woman.
"Mr. Qin, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Jie greeted Qin Hao warmly.
Xie Meilan felt inexplicably unhappy when she saw Qin Hao, but she couldn't show it, so she could only force out a smile as a greeting.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see."
Qin Hao looked at the two of them playfully.
"Mr. Qin, why don't we sit down together?"
Facing Lu Jie's invitation, Qin Hao said in an ambiguous tone: "I just had dinner with my girlfriend, so I won't disturb your date."
Lu Jie said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Qin misunderstood. Director Xie and I only have a simple superior-subordinate relationship."
"Oh, that's right. Mr. Lu must remember not to order any wine at that moment. Otherwise, Ms. Xie has just had an abortion. If something goes wrong with her drinking, her husband may come to trouble you."
Qin Hao once again told Xie Meilan's secret, which made her face turn red and blue. The flame of anger kept burning in her chest, but she never dared to explode. She knew very well that even Lu Jie wanted to please people, and she was not qualified to fight against them. He could only stare at the back of Qin Hao holding Li Xiaoyue's arms and leaving with a look of resentment.
"You are really bad."
As soon as he left the door of the western restaurant, Li Xiaoyue whispered to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao leaned close to Li Xiaoyue's ear and said with a wicked smile: "Since I'm so bad, why don't you run away?"
"Because, I'm bad too, it's called having the same temperament."
"Yeah, it stinks. It smells good to me."
"Ah~ I hate it."
"Let's go home."
At the same time, Lu Jie and Xie Meilan had already sat in the box.
Seeing the unhappy look on Xie Meilan's face, Lu Jie comforted him, "Don't worry about a rich second-generation son like him who acts casually."
"I'm fine, it's just that my body hasn't fully recovered yet." Xie Meilan said perfunctorily.
Lu Jie wanted to hold Xie Meilan's hand under false pretenses, but Xie Meilan dodged him.
"Xiao Xie, actually I started to pay attention to you since you first entered the company. I help you out of my own willingness."
While talking, Lu Jie took out an A4 piece of paper from his pocket, with an IOU written by Xie Meilan on it.
In front of Xie Meilan, Lu Jie tore the IOU into pieces.
"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable because of its existence."
Seeing Lu Jie casually tearing up the IOU of 400,000 yuan, Xie Meilan's inner balance tilted completely in his direction. That was 400,000 yuan, her salary without food or water for two years.
