The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Shen Lin quickly finalized the employment agreement with Hu Haili, and Hu Haili told Shen Lin everything about the company, almost telling her everything she knew.

Although the salary is not high, Shen Lin is still very optimistic about her career prospects. Through communication, she also found that Hu Haili has hardly changed and has always been very friendly to her. In the future, the two of them will definitely work smoothly.

Hu Haili personally escorted Shen Lin out. Shen Lin suddenly thought of Xie Meilan and asked casually.

"Xie Meilan, I remember her. She has a very good resume. We asked her to come here today mainly to discuss salary and benefits." Hu Haili smiled and said, "Is she Sister Lin's friend?"

"Oh, no, it's just someone I know, you don't have to worry about me." Shen Lin said subconsciously.

Hu Haili smiled and said, "Okay, I will do my job impartially."

Shen Lin wanted to say hello to Xie Meilan, but found that she was not in the same place as before. It seemed that she went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, so Shen Lin had to leave first.

In fact, Xie Meilan was avoiding Shen Lin. She didn't want to face her ex-husband's family, especially when things were not going well for her now.

Xie Meilan came out from the corner only after seeing Shen Lin leave, and continued to wait in the meeting room.

About ten minutes later, someone called Xie Meilan for an interview.

The interviewer was Hu Haili again. After taking a look at Xie Meilan's resume, she said, "Ms. Xie, I am very satisfied with your work experience, but your ideal salary is 18,000."

"Yes, my monthly income in my last company was 23,000, not including the year-end bonus."

Hu Haili put down her resume and said, "I'm sorry, our company has only been in business for a short time, and we can't offer such a high salary at this stage."

Xie Meilan frowned and asked, "How much salary can be offered?"

Hu Haili said: "The basic salary is 10,000 yuan, and there is a performance bonus every month. The amount of the performance bonus depends on the employee's performance last month and the evaluation of the leadership department."

Xie Meilan frowned deeply, as this salary was far from her ideal one.

"I would like to ask, if the project is successful, will I get a commission?"

Hu Haili shook her head and said, "The project commission is included in the performance bonus."

Xie Meilan frowned even deeper.

Hu Haili continued: "If Ms. Xie accepts our conditions, she can start work at any time."

"I'd like to think about it," Xie Meilan said.

"No problem." Hu Haili already knew that Xie Meilan would not accept such a low salary.

Xie Meilan stood up and walked out of the room by herself. Hu Haili had to continue interviewing other people, so her colleagues escorted Xie Meilan out of the company.

Standing on the street downstairs and looking back at the building, Xie Meilan felt very uncomfortable.

Her interview for the day was over, so she had to go home first.

The house Xie Meilan lives in now is a newly rented one, located within the Fourth Ring Road. The community environment is pretty good. It was built less than ten years ago, and the rent for a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment is 9,500 yuan.

Lu Jie temporarily lives with her, and because of the asset freeze, the rent is paid by Xie Meilan.

As soon as Xie Meilan returned home, she saw Lu Jie sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone, and looking a little excited.

"I just want you to give me my money back. It's my money."

"I will pay for the child's tuition in the future. As long as I get through this difficult time, I will pay you back double the money."

"Anyway, for the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, can you please help me?"

Lu Jie became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he almost smashed his phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was Lu Jie's wife. He wanted his wife to transfer 20 million yuan back to China, but she refused to agree.

"Lu Jie, we agreed that this money is for my children and I to live in Singapore. How can you go back now?"

"I'm really in trouble in China and I need money urgently for an emergency. I promise you that as long as the assets are unfrozen, I will return the money to you double. Is that not enough?" Lu Jie said in a slow tone.

"No, I'm about to give birth, and I need money everywhere. Singapore is so expensive, how can we survive without this money?" "I promise it's only temporary, at most two months, and I will make up the money." Lu Jie said anxiously:
"If I really fall, you and the child will have a hard time. You have to understand this."

"Lu Jie, don't threaten me. You found a mistress in China. Don't think I don't know. Mom has told me. You don't want to take the money back to support the mistress, do you?"

"How can I explain it to you?"

Lu Jie looked up at Xie Meilan and whispered, "I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jie came to Xie Meilan.

“Did your job interview go well?”

Xie Meilan shook her head and said, "Don't mention it. The salary offered by this company is too low."

Lu Jie comforted him softly: "Then don't go. With your ability, you deserve a better company."

Xie Meilan asked: "Your ex-wife still refuses to transfer the money back?"

Lu Jie said gloomily: "Don't mention that short-sighted woman to me. She has no foresight at all and only wants to make money.

I have asked my mother to go back to Singapore to ask for the money, she has to give it to me.”

Xie Meilan sighed and said, "How is your lawsuit going? What does the lawyer say? When will the assets be unsealed?"

Lu Jie was silent for a while, then said: "The bribery case is easy to deal with because the amount is not large, so it can be handled at the discretion of the court and a fine will be enough.

The company has withdrawn the lawsuit and will not hold me responsible, but asked me to make up the difference. I calculated that if I sell the property in Beijing and add my savings, I should be able to make up the difference."

Xie Meilan asked worriedly: "Doesn't that mean you have nothing?"

"Don't worry, I have some assets abroad. When the lawsuit is over, we will go abroad and start over." Lu Jie said while hugging Xie Meilan.

"Going abroad?" Xie Meilan hesitated.

"Yes, go abroad. A Japanese company wanted me to work there." Lu Jie said with anticipation: "Then we can go there together and buy a single-family house first."

Xie Meilan was not averse to going abroad, and her life was close by. It was just that she needed to start over in the past, and there was also the language barrier problem.

"I don't know a word of Japanese, can I go there?"

"No problem, you just need to know English. The salary there is much higher than in China." Lu Jie patted his chest and said, "I'll be there for you then!"

Xie Meilan temporarily dispelled her doubts.

"What shall we have for dinner tonight?"

"Let's go out to eat! Let's go to that French restaurant we went to last time. Didn't you say it was delicious?" Lu Jie said with a smile.

"French food is too expensive, and we don't have much money left." Xie Meilan suggested: "Why not eat at home!"

“None of us know how to cook! If you really can’t, just swipe the card first. Wait for my mom to get the money back, and everything will be fine.” Lu Jie said confidently.

"Okay then!" Xie Meilan calculated in her mind that she still had more than 20,000 yuan in savings, which should be enough to last until next month.

The two happily went to eat French food. During the meal, Lu Jie wanted to be romantic and ordered a violin performance.

Xie Meilan was enjoying her meal at first, but when she saw the bill was eight thousand three, not including the service charge, her face changed immediately!
Seeing Xie Meilan holding her phone and not paying the bill, Lu Jie felt a little embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Meilan said awkwardly: "This is too expensive."

The waiter stood aside politely, looking at Lu Jie and Xie Meilan with a strange look, but still maintained a polite smile.

"Swipe the card first!" Lu Jie couldn't stand the waiter's look and directly took out Xie Meilan's credit card to pay the bill.

When Xie Meilan saw the credit card being swiped, her heart trembled. (End of this chapter)
