Episode 649 A Deadline
Lu Dai arrived at the company before nine o'clock. Lu Mo came earlier than her. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Lu Mo sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
Lu Dai put down her bag, walked over to Lu Mo and sat down. "Where's the person? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Lu Mo: "It's almost there, I'll arrange for someone to wait downstairs."
Lu Dai nodded.
Lu Mo looked Lu Dai up and down and said, "I heard from them that you didn't come to the company yesterday."
Lu Dai: "I'm too tired from work, let's go out and have some fun for a day."
Lu Mo: "Then you went to the boxing gym and fought for more than three hours?"
Lu Dai: "How come you are so well-informed?"
"Okay, stop interrupting me. Tell me what's going on." Lu Mo crossed his arms and asked like he was interrogating a prisoner. "Is it because of Shen Zheng again?"
Lu Dai: "Where does the 'again' come from?"
Lu Mo: "Hasn't this been enough for you to do because of him?"
Lu Dai: "Just this once."
Lu Mo didn't argue with her on this issue: "How did he offend you?"
Lu Dai: "Cen Sixue returned to North City two days ago."
When he heard the name, Lu Mo's face darkened a bit, "Did Chen Zheng go to see her?"
Lu Dai agreed.
Lu Mo's expression became even uglier. "I think he's looking for death."
Lu Dai held his arm and said, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore, why are you so excited?"
Lu Mo looked at her with a look of dismay: "I really don't know what you want to achieve by marrying him. If it weren't for our Lu family's intervention, how could he have dealt with Chen Xun in such a short time? You are such an ungrateful person. I really gave him face."
"He made it very clear when we first got married that we shouldn't ask too much of him." Lu Dai shrugged. "Let's not talk about him anymore. First, tell me about the person you hired. Do you have a resume? I'd like to take a look."
Lu Mo couldn't end the topic for the time being: "Are you going to keep wasting time with him like this? If he never falls in love with you in his entire life, your wonderful life——"
"Not in my lifetime." Lu Dai shook her head. "Just these past two years."
Lu Mo's expression softened a bit: "What do you mean?"
Lu Dai: "If he continues to be like this before my 30th birthday, I will divorce him."
This was the thought that came to her mind when she was boxing in the gym yesterday. It could be considered a way to reconcile with herself. Love is the best thing to have, but it's not impossible to live without it. It's actually quite painful to spend a lifetime with someone who doesn't love you. She has to find a way out for herself.
Lu Dai knew in her heart that even after these two years, Shen Zheng probably wouldn't like her anymore, so she just took it as a buffer time for the divorce.
Lu Mo was pleased with this: "It's best that you can think it through. What kind of man can't you find? When you get divorced, I'll find one for you..." "Goodbye, I'll just keep some young men to play with and won't get married." Lu Dai joked with him.
Lu Mo: "That's fine too."
He didn't object to this. As an older brother, Lu Mo felt that even if Lu Dai went out to support a young man, it would be more reliable than hanging herself on Shen Zheng's crooked tree.
The brother and sister were interrupted by a knock on the door. Lu Mo said "Come in" to the door, and then his assistant pushed the door open and came in.
"Boss Lu, they're here," the assistant reported. "I've taken them to the conference room."
Lu Mo nodded and looked at Lu Dai: "Let's go and take a look."
Lu Dai stood up and followed.
She was so busy chatting with Lu Mo just now that she didn't have time to get to know the other party's information. However, this didn't affect her much. Lu Dai was very good at interacting with people, so this situation was easy to deal with.
Lu Dai and Lu Mo entered the conference room one after another. When she looked up and saw the man sitting at the conference table, she was stunned for a few seconds.
Liang Sibo?
Although she hadn't seen him since graduation, Lu Dai was still deeply impressed by his face.
When Lu Dai looked over, Liang Sibo was also looking at her. He looked very calm. She thought he must have known about this when they were chatting on WeChat yesterday. No wonder he avoided the question when she asked him which company he was going to. It turned out that he was waiting here.
"Do you know each other?" Lu Mo saw Lu Dai and Liang Sibo staring at each other and knew that things were not simple.
"Haven't you seen the alma mater he graduated from on his resume?" Lu Dai asked.
Lu Mo shook his head. He really hadn't paid attention to this. For someone like Liang Sibo, the university he graduated from was no longer something worth bragging about. His experience on Wall Street was. The headhunter also emphasized this when introducing him.
"He and I went to the same school and knew each other before." Lu Dai answered Lu Mo's doubts.
At this time, Liang Sibo also stood up from his chair. He looked at Lu Dai with a smile and said, "Long time no see."
Lu Dai: "No wonder you refused to tell me yesterday, you kept it a secret."
Liang Sibo: "How about giving you a surprise?"
"It's quite a surprise." Lu Dai also smiled at him, "Let's sit down and talk."
Lu Dai knew Liang Sibo's record. Yesterday she was thinking that it would be a good idea to recruit Liang Sibo to Lu's. Now that her idea has come true, she is of course happy.
The atmosphere of today's meeting was also very relaxed. The three of them chatted for more than half an hour. Lu Mo left first because of something, and the task of hosting Liang Sibo for lunch fell on Lu Dai.
——
A little after twelve o'clock, Lu Dai took Liang Sibo to a Cantonese restaurant near the company. She was a regular here.
Lu Dai didn't go to the private room, but chose a booth by the window. After sitting down, she discussed and ordered dishes with Liang Sibo.
After the waiter left, Lu Dai took a sip of water and said to Liang Sibo, "From now on, the work of the investment department will be hard on you. If you need any support, you can always ask me or my brother. The company will cooperate with you unconditionally."
Liang Sibo: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Lu Dai: "You are so modest. You are so objective."
Liang Sibo smiled at her praise, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your appreciation."
Lu Dai and Liang Sibo had a very happy chat. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, they were both good at chatting and the topics never ran out. They talked about everything from work to life, just like friends.
"By the way, I heard from Cici that you are married." Liang Sibo changed the subject.
The Cici he mentioned is Zhong Qian, which is what her early classmates all called her.
"Yes, it's been over half a year now," Lu Dai said. "Just look at the news and you'll know."
Liang Sibo: "I haven't really paid much attention to it - how is the relationship between husband and wife?"
Lu Dai: "If the relationship between husband and wife is good, Zhong Qian wouldn't have pushed you to me on WeChat."
Liang Sibo smiled: "You are still so direct."
Lu Dai: "It's not shameful. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."
Just as Lu Dai finished saying this, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind.
She frowned slightly and turned to look over.
Standing not far away were Zhou Qisheng and... Shen Zheng.
He should be here to eat too. Isn't this a coincidence?
"What a coincidence, you're here for dinner too." Lu Dai raised her hand and waved at Zhou Qisheng, glanced at Chen Zheng beside him, and didn't speak to him.
Zhou Qisheng keenly sensed that something was wrong between the couple.
He glanced at the man sitting opposite Lu Dai again and asked, "Who is this?"
