The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Shen Lin was extremely concerned about her brother's blind date, and ran to Hu Haili's office as soon as she got to work in the morning.

Hu Haili had just returned from a meeting and saw Shen Lin standing at the door with a bag of coffee beans.

"Haley, I have a bag of coffee beans imported from Italy. Would you like to try some?"

"Sister Lin, please come in and sit down first."

Hu Haili was just about to greet Shen Lin when the company's vice president, Mr. Jia, came running over.

"Hailey, you must have kept the educational background information of the sales deputy director you hired last time!"

When Hu Haili saw Mr. Jia, her expression changed a little, but she still smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, is there any problem with Deputy Director Wang's education information?"

Mr. Jia smiled and said, "I want to ask, have you checked his academic qualifications?"

Hu Haili nodded and said, "I checked on the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center website, and Vice President Wang's diploma is genuine."

Mr. Jia approached Hu Haili and said, "Give me a copy."

"Okay, I'll get it right away."

Hu Haili went into the office, found a document and handed it to President Jia.

President Jia took the document and slid his fingers across the back of Hu Haili's hand, which was clearly seen by Shen Lin next to him.

Hu Haili quickly retracted her hand and the document fell to the ground.

"What's going on? I can't even hold the documents." Mr. Jia frowned in dissatisfaction.

Shen Lin helped Hu Haili pick up the documents, then handed them to President Jia with both hands.

After Mr. Jia got the documents, he had no intention of leaving.

"Hailey, where are you going to eat at noon? I know a new Japanese restaurant has opened near the company. We can go try it."

Shen Lin saw that Hu Haili was in a dilemma, so she took the initiative to say, "Boss Jia, our department will have a lunch at noon."

Mr. Jia was slightly disappointed and asked, "What about tonight?"

Hu Haili said perfunctorily: "My dad is coming over in the evening, and I'm going to pick him up at the train station."

After hearing this, Mr. Jia said nothing more.

"Then we'll talk about it next time we have a chance."

After Mr. Jia left, Hu Haili immediately closed the office door and took out disinfectant to wipe her hands.

"Sister Lin, did you see that just now?" Hu Haili said excitedly: "Boss Jia is becoming more and more blatant now. You dare to take advantage of him."

Shen Lin frowned and said: "This Mr. Jia is too much, why do you tolerate him?"

Hu Haili said with a bitter face: "Mr. Jia is the boss's brother-in-law and has shares in the company, so he is considered half the boss."

Shen Lin said angrily: "The boss can harass his subordinates at will? I remember he was married!"

Hu Haili sighed and said, "Boss Jia has always been a touchy-feely person. Fortunately, he didn't do anything more excessive, otherwise I would have slapped him."

Shen Lin looked at Hu Haili with some heartache. She knew that Hu Haili was just complaining and this job was very important to her now.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Hu Haili also realized that she shouldn't say this in front of Shen Lin, so she changed the subject:
"Sister Lin, where did you buy your coffee beans?"

Hu Haili opened the coffee beans that Shen Lin brought over, smelled them, and said happily: "It smells really good. I can tell right away that they are imported coffee beans from Italy."

Shen Lin smiled and said, "I don't know anything about coffee beans. This is a gift from my brother. I heard he asked a friend to bring it back from Italy. I'll give you some to try."

"Sister Lin, I'll grind the beans, let's have a drink, and by the way, I'll tell you about the recent recruitment."

"Okay." Hu Haili took out the grinder, ground the coffee beans directly, and then professionally brewed a cup of coffee for Shen Lin.

Shen Lin noticed that Hu Haili's movements when making coffee were a little shaky, and some water spilled out. It was obvious that she had not yet come out of Mr. Jia's shadow.

"Hailey, you know my brother's situation. He is a civil servant working in the Financial Regulatory Bureau. He likes to write novels to earn some extra money. His monthly income is not low, and he plans to buy a house in Beijing next year."

"Sister Lin, I remember your brother was married. Can I ask why he got divorced?" Hu Haili and Shen Lin were very familiar with each other, so she could ask some questions directly.

"Alas, my brother is also unlucky." Shen Lin sighed: "His wife despises him for being useless!"

"Ah, your brother is still unsuccessful? Not everyone can enter the Financial Regulatory Bureau?"

"Xiao Lei used to work in the archives, and was transferred to the supervisory bureau after his divorce. His ex-wife found a rich man, and I heard she became his mistress."

Hu Haili suddenly realized, and then said: "Sister Lin, I'm sorry, I don't know!"

"It's okay. My brother and I have let it go a long time ago. That kind of woman is not worth our hatred." Shen Lin smiled and said, "Don't feel burdened by this blind date. If it's a good match, then we can get along. If it's not, forget it. Just think of it as making another friend."

Hu Haili handed the coffee to Shen Lin and said, "Sister Lin, your brother knows my situation, right? I'm not a local and I don't have a Beijing hukou."

"It doesn't matter. My brother has a household registration, and he doesn't care about those things. He said that it's still important for the two people to have compatible personalities, and everything else is secondary." Shen Lin took a sip of coffee, his eyes lit up and said:
"My brother has good taste! The coffee is really delicious."

Hu Haili also took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "The coffee beans are of really good quality. I haven't had such good coffee for a long time."

"I have already booked a restaurant for tonight. Let's go there together after get off work. I will leave in the middle so you can have a good chat." Shen Lin said enthusiastically.

Hu Haili was very satisfied with Shen Lin's arrangement and naturally would not raise any objections.

While Wang Gang was on a blind date, Xie Meilan was not idle either.

Lu Jie took Xie Meilan to a private lending company and borrowed 5 million yuan in his personal name, with Xie Meilan as the guarantor.

Originally, Xie Meilan was unwilling to be the guarantor, but she couldn't resist Lu Jie's constant persuasion and finally compromised.

"Meilan, don't worry. Once we get through this difficult time, we will go live abroad." Lu Jie handed the pen to Xie Meilan and asked her to sign the loan contract.

Xie Meilan hesitated for a moment, but still signed her name. She had nothing now and owed a lot of credit card debts, so she could only rely on Lu Jie.

"Are you really going to give the money to Shen Lei?" Xie Meilan asked.

"Don't worry! When we get abroad, I will find someone to report Shen Lei. I will never let him off easily. At worst, we will never return to China." Lu Jie said viciously.

Lu Jie had already made plans. As soon as the lawsuit was over and his assets were unsealed, he would immediately sell them for cash and live a carefree life abroad.

Xie Meilan felt vaguely uneasy, but considering that she had nothing now, she could only listen to Lu Jie's arrangements.

After the money from the financial company arrived, Lu Jie called Wang Gang to arrange the second transaction.

"I've got 20 million ready. When will you give me the evidence?"

"You transfer the money to the company's account every day. Once I confirm that the money has been received, I will put the evidence in the storage box of Hansen Bowling Alley." Wang Gang said.

"How can I believe that you won't keep a copy?" Lu Jie asked.

"You have to trust me. It's safest if we each have leverage over the other," Wang Gang said.

"Okay, give me your account number."

"Here's your hair."

After Wang Gang hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was in a good mood.

"The money that Lu Jie transferred out of the country should all be returned. Together with his domestic assets, the total is almost 100 million. It's time to close the net."
