The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

By the end of August, Lin Yang had been with the investment company for over three months. As he became more familiar with the business, he became more adept at selecting investment projects.

At an investment summary meeting at the end of August, Lin Yang, as the host of the meeting, gave a brief overview of the company's main investments and profit/loss situation in the first half of the year.

"Among all the investment managers, Manager Liu, Manager Luo... the projects they are in charge of are quite good," Lin Yang said, pausing before continuing:

"However, some people are just going through the motions, failing to adequately assess risks, resulting in investments with very low returns or even significant losses. This company is not a place for you to relax or a platform for trial and error."

"Among our team's managers, Xie Meilan, your performance is the worst. Any random investment assistant could probably do a better job..."

Before Lin Yang could finish speaking, Xie Meilan couldn't help but say, "President Lin, it's you who's been pressuring me to invest in these projects. If you don't let me invest, how can I achieve any results?"

"So, it's my fault? Should I have approved your outlandish investments and made you the investment manager with the highest loss rate?" Lin Yang retorted.

Xie Meilan seemed about to retort, but Lu Jie frowned and said, "Alright, Manager Xie! If you don't have results, just keep trying. Nobody's a natural investor from the start, so stop making excuses!"

Without saying anything more, Xie Meilan packed her things and left the conference room.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Mr. Xu, sitting in the main seat, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry. I was too blunt and didn't give Manager Xie any face. I'll talk to her about it later," Lin Yang said.

"Hmph, does she think she owns the company? She can't do her job well and still has the nerve to complain? The company has no shortage of investment managers. If she can't do it, we'll bring in someone more capable."

Mr. Xu said, "Alright, that's enough for now! I hope all the investment managers with poor performance will reflect on their performance and not be at the bottom again next time."

After Mr. Xu finished speaking and got up to leave, and after the other investment managers had also left, Lu Jie said to Lin Yang, "Mr. Lin, Xie Meilan was originally in my group. Do you think I should transfer her back?"

"Mr. Lu is very chivalrous! Well, I hope Mr. Lu can train her well," Lin Yang said with a noncommittal smile, packing up his laptop and leaving first.

As soon as Lin Yang stepped out of the conference room, his assistant Cheng Lin rushed over and took the notebook and documents from his hands.

Watching Lin Yang's departing figure, Lu Jie, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant, also turned around and went back to his office.

Back in his office, Lin Yang had just sat down to take a sip of tea and prepare to look at the project when a sudden commotion outside made him frown. "Cheng Lin, go see what's going on?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin," Cheng Lin, who was at the door, got up and went out. She quickly returned with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Lin, Manager Xie Meilan got into a fight with someone."

"They started fighting?" Lin Yang was somewhat surprised. Getting into a fight with someone so casually seemed more like Shen Lei's script!

However, birds of a feather flock together. Judging from Xie Meilan's tendency to break down easily before, she and Shen Lei are actually the same kind of people. They haven't experienced the harsh realities of society and are too naive, thinking that the whole world should revolve around them.

"To be precise, it was...it was President Lu's wife who was hitting Manager Xie," Cheng Lin continued.

"Lu Jie's wife is here?" Lin Yang was even more surprised. "Can just anyone come into our company?"

At the same time, he realized that things had gotten serious, and Lu Jie was in deep trouble. His wife was going all out, ready to overturn the situation!

Just as Lin Yang was about to get up and go see what was going on, he saw Lu Jie hurrying past the door of his office.

"Let's go take a look!" Lin Yang called out to Cheng Lin and hurried out of the office.

Cheng Lin, also with a curious expression, followed along.

At that moment, outside Xie Meilan's office, a woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties and dressed fashionably was grabbing Xie Meilan's hair and hitting and scolding her.

Almost everyone in the office area was watching the spectacle with curiosity.

Security guards had arrived, and as they were about to take action in response to Xie Meilan's cries for help, the woman immediately claimed to be Lu Jie's wife, causing them to hesitate.

"What are you doing? This is my company. What do you want?" Lu Jie, who had rushed over, hissed angrily.

However, his wife reached out and scratched his face, leaving several bloody marks.

"Are you crazy?" Lu Jie was somewhat exasperated.

"I'm insane!" His wife was even more furious than him. "That bitch! What's so great about her? A used woman, and you like her that much? Buying her clothes, buying her cosmetics..."

"Buy..." Lu Jie's wife gritted her teeth and tore Xie Meilan's top apart, then ripped off her tight-fitting short skirt: "You slut, you vixen, you seduced my husband..."

This sudden display of springtime beauty made it difficult for the company staff to look directly at it, and it also left Lin Yang speechless. Lu Jie's wife has quite the fighting power!

As she spoke, in the struggle, Xie Meilan fell to the ground, her head hitting the wall. She winced in pain, and a patch of blood spread beneath her...

Upon seeing the blood, Lu Jie's wife's expression changed, but she still said, "Don't pretend..."

As she spoke, Lu Jie's wife, sensing the danger, hurriedly turned and left.

"Meilan..." Lu Jie rushed forward to support Xie Meilan.

"Child...child..." Xie Meilan said in a trembling voice, somewhat flustered.

Seeing this, the surrounding colleagues stopped watching the drama unfold and someone had already dialed 120.

"Is she pregnant with Lu Jie's child?" Lin Yang shook his head thoughtfully. She didn't even say a word before aborting her child with Shen Lei, but now she's so worried about Lu Jie's child. It's really ironic.

"What exactly happened?" When President Xu rushed over and saw that Xie Meilan was covered in blood, his expression changed.

"Mr. Xu, let's call the police!" Lin Yang walked over and whispered, "Mr. Lu's wife came to catch his mistress, and they got into a fight. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with the company."

Mr. Xu nodded slightly upon hearing this, then said to Cheng Lin beside him, "Assistant Cheng, call the police!"

The police arrived relatively quickly. After understanding the general situation, they went to the hospital. Before they arrived, the ambulance had already come and taken Xie Meilan away. Lu Jie also went with her.

The subsequent handling and accountability are indeed not of much concern to the company; the company only needs to determine whether Xie Meilan's injury constitutes a work-related injury.

Anyway, the matter is very clear. There is a person directly responsible. Lu Jie's wife will definitely have to bear the responsibility for the things she caused.

However, to Xie Meilan's surprise, Lu Jie actually asked her not to pursue the matter with his wife.

No one knows exactly why, and no one bothers to investigate. In any case, Xie Meilan eventually realized that Lu Jie was completely unreliable.

However, it was ultimately her own choice, and she had to bear the consequences herself.

A few days later, considering the negative impact of the incident, the company's board of directors decided to remove Lu Jie from his position as vice president.

Although the company has not yet made a clear decision regarding Xie Meilan, who appears to be a victim, it will certainly not employ her again once the responsibility is determined.

Her story couldn't be kept secret at all; it spread quickly, making her completely famous and making it difficult for her to make a living in the financial industry afterward.
