Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 140 - 120. Watch your language!

Chapter 140: 120. Watch your language!

That’s right.

The counselor got divorced.

"What? Her husband agreed to the divorce just like that?"

Zhou Sinin was right beside him, and Mr. Lu didn’t hide it.

Hearing this seamless piece of gossip, she couldn’t help but exclaim,

"Xiao Zhou, watch your words, it’s ex-husband."

"Jeez, your slap just shattered their marriage."

Zhou Sinin clicked her tongue in wonder and air-tapped Lu Jincheng’s hand from afar.

"I only played a tiny, insignificant role."

Lu Jincheng shrugged, noncommittal.

"She got divorced, Guan Guan must be able to breathe a sigh of relief, huh?"

Since the court results were not ideal, the team at Le Ying Law Firm responsible for Guo Minjie’s divorce case had been quite worried.

Litigation materials had been reorganized, and the team had started drafting the appeal; everything was ready.

With the 15-day appeal deadline looming, the client hadn’t contacted them about proceeding with the litigation.

Upon asking, it turned out she was already divorced!

"I’ve been so busy these days, I haven’t seen her at all."

Zhou Sinin pouted slightly, taking out a patterned cup and sipping some warm water.

"What, missing her after not seeing her for a few days?"

"Hmm... a tiny bit."

The girl nodded slightly.

Since the beginning of the school term, although they were not inseparable, there hadn’t been such a long period without seeing each other.

These days, Guan Yongyi had all her meals at the firm, with Professor Li Suying’s support, so she didn’t need to worry about her usual tasks.

No one called her name in those specialized Law School courses.

She was fully taken care of from food to lodging, even sleeping in her own little independent nook at Jiangnan Garden, and Guan Yongyi had become so busy she hadn’t even returned to school.

Forced to eat at the cafeteria every day, Zhou Sinin’s stomach had shrunk a bit; she indeed missed her.

"You really cling to people, don’t you?"

Lu Jincheng drew out his words, smiling and leaning closer to her, teasingly said.

"Oh! I’m not clinging to you! What’s it to you anyway!"

Zhou Sinin tilted her chin up, her lips pouting slightly and her peachy eyes fiercely glaring at him in a huffy manner.

Lu Jincheng was incredibly annoying!

He thinks I’m clingy?

The leftover water in the patterned cup was tossed into the trash can, and she put the cup back in its place, got up from the curved reception desk, and didn’t forget to roll her eyes at him again.

I’m not talking to him today!

"Hey, why don’t you come cling to me and see?"

Lu Jincheng scratched his head, his lips curving into a smile.

The look in his eyes was clear as he said this, much like an innocent young boy.

"?"

Zhou Sinin, who originally planned to go the other way, stopped in her tracks.

"You know me, I’m full of double standards."

Lu Jincheng waved her over and added with a smile, "If you stick to someone else, I take drastic measures, but if you cling to me..."

"What then?"

Ignoring her decision to not speak to him, Zhou Sinin couldn’t help but ask.

"I can only secretly delight in my bed at midnight."

His voice was not loud, audible only to those nearby.

Besides her and him at the reception, there was only the barista Tian Yi steaming milk, who pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to control her expression, pretending she heard nothing.

The two bosses had been chatting just fine, then suddenly why did the style of conversation change...

To outright flirting?

Oh my, workers shouldn’t hear this!

"In your dreams! I wouldn’t!"

Zhou Sinin’s dimples appeared sweetly, her mouth corners curling into a beautiful crescent as if her laughter could silence the winds across the hills.

She was typically pale-skinned, but after a few rounds of teasing by Mr. Lu, her cheeks blushed naturally, as if they were tinged with natural rouge amidst snowflakes.

"By the way, like you just said, how do we define who the big boss is?"

Seeing that Tian Yi’s expression management was on the verge of collapse, already posing excitedly as a spectator, Zhou Sinin quickly steered the conversation back.

This guy really!

How can you say these things in front of colleagues?

No sense of boundaries at all!

Can’t you...say it privately?

"Let’s do this: next time someone comes to talk about a partnership, you take the first turn to chat, and go back to make a PPT first."

Lu Jincheng thought for a few seconds and made up his mind.

"Make a PPT?"

Zhou Sinin was taken aback.

"Yes, the content should mainly showcase our core selling points. You know what they are, right?"

Lu Jincheng asked.

"Um... small store model, buy and go, delivery channels, plus interior design and brand marketing?"

"Smart."

As a local startup brand, Golden Stone did not adopt Starbucks’s third-place concept but opted for a small store model, accommodating both offline instant purchases and emerging industry delivery.

On this basis, whether it’s the seating at the doorway, the main doors, or the styles of neon lights, every detail of the décor was carefully designed to be photogenic for young people.

Golden Stone’s product capabilities, management skills, and profitability had been preliminarily verified in its local development.

It also had a certain reputation and fan base accrued, and it did not need to invest too much in brand promotion expenses.

Such a brand was precisely a high-quality project that could rapidly replicate from one store to the wider market.

It was also a highly sought-after investment target for investors at the time.

However, to attract powerful investors, losing a powerful PPT presentation would clearly lack professionalism.

Nowadays, even a fragrant wine fears a deep alley.

"Should I go back and organize my thoughts and show it to you once it’s done?"

"Sure."

Mr. Lu and Zhou Sinin had a casual lunch nearby and after a diligent afternoon with four full classes, he specifically went back to his dorm to freshen up his image.

Shower, shave, style hair, apply hair wax.

After changing clothes, only the last step remained.

Lu Jincheng took a square box from a small bag, tore off the plastic seal, and inside was a bottle of brand-new perfume.

Then he raised his wrist and gently dabbed a bit on his pulse points.

Previously, when borrowing a car, Lu Jincheng, besides taking it to the car wash, also left a bottle of air freshener inside.

Thus, Zhou Sinin returned the favor with a small gift in kind.

Hermes Terre d’Hermès, a fragrance no man could escape, perennially topping the list with almost no bad reviews on a certain website.

When in doubt, use it; it can’t go wrong in any situation.

Mr. Lu checked the time; it was about right.

"Lao Lu, which girl are you going out to meet that you’re treating her with such honor?"

Qiang Zhihao watched Lu Jincheng’s meticulous actions from head to toe, unable to restrain his curiosity.

Changing clothes was one thing, but it was the first time he’d seen him use perfume.

No need to guess.

Leaving at this time, clearly he had plans!

"Qiangzi, watch your words, today it’s not a ’girl’."

Lu Jincheng grinned, waggled a finger, and laughed without restraint.

"It’s an ’older sister’."

"Older sister, huh, Lao Lu, didn’t realize you also had that taste!"

Qiang Zhihao also burst into laughter, remembering his own dates with a senior, trying unsuccessfully to suppress a grin.

"A woman three years older, a golden brick, just perfect!"

"Ah, think bigger."

Before stepping out, Lu Jincheng casually left a phrase behind.

"A woman ten years older, giving away a kingdom!"
