Chapter 11 I Can’t Say
Lu Jie opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Because Xie Meilan's abilities are indeed average, a master's degree is okay in other industries, but it just barely passes the threshold for the financial industry.
This industry values two types of people: those who have extensive connections and can bring business to the company and complete projects; or those who have strong professional skills and can solve problems that others cannot. However, Xie Meilan has neither of these two qualities.
In addition, various handsome men and beautiful women are needed. Everyone knows the reason, but Xie Meilan does not qualify for this requirement. She looks ordinary and has no way to compete with those young girls who are pretty and capable.
So how could such a person get into Lu Zong's company? After learning about the situation, Lin Qianjun found Lu Zong's company's recruitment resume form and saw a large blank space for applicants to fill in their family relationships, which immediately made him suspicious.
Because Xie Meilan would definitely write in her resume that her husband Shen Lei worked in a government agency under the Central Government, and was in a confidential position responsible for managing archives. The family members of such people are very popular among spies.
"In fact, our industry is not as high-end as outsiders think. Anyone can do the job as long as their ability is above the passing line!" Lu Jie continued to find excuses.
He couldn't say that he hired Xie Meilan because she was not smart enough and was easy to fool, right? Lin Qianjun continued to ask a few questions and finally asked the key point, "A subordinate with mediocre ability and ordinary appearance, who had a family problem, you were willing to lend her 500,000 yuan! Is there some explanation behind this?"
"I developed a crush on her at that time, and I lent her money to leave a good impression on her! Women will become panicked when they encounter changes that they cannot control. This is a good time to attract them!" Lu Jie was telling the truth this time.
"Giving half a million just to leave a good impression? Mr. Lu, you didn't seem to be so generous when dealing with girls before?" Lin Qianjun flipped through the information in his hand. They didn't call Lu Jie for tea without any preparation. The necessary background check had been done.
Lu Jie blurted out, "She wrote me an IOU, and there are also bank transfer records. Even if I can't get her in the future, I can get the money back!"
This answer did not surprise Lin Qianjun. He had met many rich people before. How could they give out hundreds of thousands of dollars on impulse? This was something that only single men who couldn't find a wife would do. It was because no girl liked them that they had to empty their family's coffers to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the bride price. Mr. Lu was not that kind of person.
After questioning for a while, Lin Qianjun temporarily ended the questioning and went out to discuss with other colleagues who were watching the conversation on the monitor. They all felt that Lu Jie was hiding something.
However, when comparing the conversation records between Lu Jie and Xie Meilan, there was no trace of Lu Jie explicitly or implicitly asking Xie Meilan to collect information from Shen Lei.
Lin Qianjun analyzed, "Either he was planning to play the long game and catch a big fish, but he didn't expect Xie Meilan to be so tempted that she jumped on him just by hooking her finger, so he didn't have time to make any move!"
"Either the things he is hiding have nothing to do with us, and his purpose in looking for Xie Meilan is not Shen Lei, but Xie Meilan herself."
"Judging from the current situation, this may be the case!" Other colleagues also nodded in agreement.
"Then let them go back first, continue to pay a certain degree of attention, and wait until new situations are discovered!" The leader made the decision.
Soon Lin Qianjun came back with a confidentiality agreement. "Boss Lu, this interrogation is over. You can go back after signing this agreement! Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
"Understood!" Lu Jie let out a long sigh, quickly took the agreement, glanced at it quickly, and signed his name.
"Oh, by the way, when we send you back later, remember to find your passport. We will keep it for you temporarily!" Lin Qianjun added. This is also a common practice. Lu Jie's suspicion has not been completely cleared yet, and he must not be allowed to run away.
It was fine to wander around the country, but it was definitely not okay to go abroad! This was the result of his relatively minor suspicion. If it was a bit more serious, he would have to report to them before leaving Kyoto, and only after they agreed could he go.
"No, I still have to go abroad to meet clients and discuss business." Lu Jie's heart, which had just been relieved, was hanging again. This matter is not over yet!
"Try to overcome it! We will return it to you after a while!"
Coming out of the conversation room, Lu Jie saw that Xie Meilan's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying. How could someone like her bear such pressure? Fortunately, Lu Jie had not started his plan yet, so he didn't have to worry about Xie Meilan leaking anything.
They got back into another ordinary car and were taken back to Lu Jie's home. They went back to the house and quickly found their passports and handed them to Lin Qianjun. Only then did Lin Qianjun return the phone to them.
Before leaving, he reminded me, "I've left you my phone number. If you have any questions in the future, please call me."
"Of course, of course!" Lu Jie no longer had the arrogance he had when facing Shen Lei.
After sending Lin Qianjun into the elevator and watching the elevator door close, they returned home. As soon as Xie Meilan closed the door, she couldn't wait to ask, "Lu Jie, what on earth is going on?"
Lu Jie sat down on the sofa, gasping for breath. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked.
"Lu Jie, please say something!"
"How should I know? They are asking you!" Lu Jie became more and more annoyed by her urging, "Why don't you have any sense at all? Pour me some water! Forget it, have a drink!"
When Xie Meilan saw this, she immediately became intimidated and quickly went to the wine cabinet to pour Lu Jie a glass of his favorite whiskey, and even added ice cubes.
Shen Lei was usually very kind to her at home and didn't let her do any housework, but she always felt displeased with Shen Lei.
Now in Lu Jie's house, Xie Meilan is willing to be ordered around. This guy is just a mean person sometimes!
After drinking a glass of wine and going to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes, Lu Jie finally calmed down.
When he returned to the living room and saw the cell phone on the coffee table, Lu Jie's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Oh no! I was taken away in front of so many people. I don't know what rumors will spread in the company.
He quickly turned on his phone and saw that they were all missed calls.
He quickly called his boss, "Hello, Mr. Song."
"I heard that you were taken away for questioning? What did they ask you?" asked the boss.
"They... uh, I can't say!" Lu Jie remembered the confidentiality agreement.
Ask everyone which copies they want to see
