After they left, Selina asked him with her eyes.
Luke simply went back to his desk and grabbed his clothes and bag. "Let's go and look for leads."
Selina: "Huh?"
Luke patted the case file in his hand. "Isn't there a new case?"
Selina was lost for words. Fine. You're going to look for leads without even looking at the case? That was really simple and crude.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Sonia looked at them inquiringly.
Luke walked past her desk and looked at the files on her computer screen. He nodded and said, "You can work on it first. It might be useful in a few days."
Sonia nodded to show that she understood.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Lisa coughed lightly and walked over.
Looking at her face, Luke approached her and asked, "Elizabeth, what's up?"
Elizabeth smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I just received a call. My mom and the others will be here in a couple of days."
Luke didn't think much of it. He said casually, "That's fine. I'll take care of their accommodation."
Elizabeth said, "… That's not it. I've already found a place for them. It's Chris. Didn't you say that you needed to talk to him in private? I'm letting you know in advance in case you have too much time to spare. "
Luke slapped his forehead.
Elizabeth naturally knew how busy their team had been in the last few days.
Roger and Martin's sudden leave had made all three teams on Elsa's side very busy. Even Sonia's team was helping with the case.
Elizabeth's reminder was necessary.
At the very least, Luke didn't think too much about Chris.
Whether he succeeded or not, it was just a matter of money.
But since Elizabeth mentioned it, Luke simply asked her to go to the parking lot with him.
After they got into the car, Luke and Elizabeth sat in the backseat and Selina sat in the passenger seat, before he asked, "Elizabeth, do you have any money? Like personal savings that you can use? "
Elizabeth was surprised, but she didn't hesitate. She shook her head with a bitter smile. "I don't have any money. I haven't even paid off my college loans yet."
Luke immediately understood.
It wasn't easy to go to college in America, as long as it was a good one. The tuition fees ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Elizabeth was from a small town, and her mother, Samantha, was not rich. It was inevitable that she would owe a lot of college loans.
This was also an invisible dividing line.
To a large extent, it could allow the children of the rich to continue to excel, and the children of the poor to continue to work as laborers.
Perhaps, there were also many children of the rich who failed to live up to expectations and fell into depravity. There were also children of the poor who had outstanding talent and were top talents who overcame difficulties to stand out.
However, with enough money, the chances of these two things happening could be minimized. The chances of a rich child becoming a talent were N times higher than that of a poor child.
This was one of the reasons why the strong became stronger and the weak remained weak.
Luke thought for a moment and said, "How about this …"
He voiced an idea, and Elizabeth and Selena stared at him, dumbfounded.
A moment later, Y'lisabet could not help but ask, "This … why?"
Luke coughed. "Because I have high hopes for you."
As soon as he said this, the two women's expressions became very strange.
Looking at the two women's expressions, he helplessly raised his hand and apologized, "Alright, I was wrong. It's too easy to cause misunderstandings. To put it simply, if this matter succeeds, you will have a share of the credit. But we're colleagues, so I can only make it up to you in a roundabout way. "
Y'lisabet still shook her head. "You saved my family. I should be the one who owes you a favor. So … "
Luke chuckled and interrupted her. "Don't. I have my own considerations. You just need to do your best to complete this proposal, understand? "
Y'lisabet was conflicted, but she couldn't take it anymore under his gaze. "Okay, okay. But I can't guarantee that it'll work. "
Luke opened the door and got out. "You better succeed. I trust Samantha more than Chris."
Y'lisabet was surprised. "What?" How did this have to do with trusting Chris?
However, Luke had already gotten out of the car, which was clearly an order for her to leave.
She could only get out and watch as Luke got into the driver's seat. He waved goodbye at her and drove off.
Frowning, Y'lisabet slowly returned to her office.
A lot of thoughts flashed through her head.
She thought about what Luke had said from beginning to end, and connected the dots in the last sentence. Her eyes widened, and she mumbled, "Is it because of the mine …"
She subconsciously shut up as she said that.
Just like Luke had said, it was a sensitive matter. If it wasn't necessary, it was best not to say a single word.
Her mind in a mess, she returned to her office as if she were sleepwalking.
In the car, Selina glanced at Luke and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Looking at the road, Luke said casually, "The collaboration with Chris will be a business for Universal Cube Technology Co., Ltd. What do you think?"
Selina didn't get it. She thought for a moment, then pointed at herself. "Are you saying that I'll have a share?"
Luke nodded. "That's right. You're the second largest shareholder of the company, with 5% of the shares."
Selina said, "… Keep bragging. I'll be damned if I believe you. I got shares in a small workshop for two hundred thousand dollars. "
After a brief silence, Luke said, "How about I give you some more shares? However, if you don't want to be a police officer, you can be a supervisor in the company. "
Selina was confused. "What do you mean by supervisor?"
Luke said, "It's similar to the Internal Affairs Division in our police department, which supervises and investigates internal members of a company."
Selina shook her head in disdain. "I won't do such a disgusting job. You can keep the shares for yourself. I don't want them."
Luke nodded and thought for a moment, before he said, "That's fine. Right, I'll ask Jenny to help me find a few universities that I can study in, and … cough, it'll be easier for me to graduate. Why don't you sign up for one? "
Selina's face dropped. "Are you serious? I still need to train. "
Luke chuckled and slowly parked the car on the side of the road. He leaned over and whispered something in Selina's ear.
She exclaimed, "Can we really do that?"
Luke nodded. "Yes, but only the two of us can know about it, got it? If other people find out, both you and I will be in big trouble. "
Selina chuckled and hugged his head. She gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you, darling. You're so considerate. Hehe, why didn't I meet you in middle school? "
Luke rolled his eyes. "Come on, I didn't go to middle school until you graduated, alright?"
