Chapter 183: 151. Choose style

"Let’s hear it," which actually just means "I’ll help you."

Whether as a teacher or not, Guo Minjie would naturally not ask for such help.

Sixty thousand isn’t a lot to some, but it’s not a small amount either.

She’d rather ask her family for it than owe Lu Jincheng a favor.

But...

Because of her divorce, she had just had a major falling out with her family.

The older generation always thinks that if you bear with it, it will pass, and that it’s enough just to muddle along in life together.

You’re better off not having your own opinions, just playing the part of a dutiful tool, and the idea of divorcing is utterly unreasonable.

In the public eye, Ying Kai was definitely considered a young elite.

Arguing with her family every three days over major issues and every five over minor ones, Guo Minjie finally couldn’t bear it and revealed her true feelings.

Although her family finally gave in, Guo Minjie was deeply hurt.

Ask her family for money at this time?

She was utterly reluctant.

"..."

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Lu Jincheng simply snatched the counselor’s phone, swiped the screen lightly, and then his eyes widened in shock.

"Come on, Teacher Guo, is it really that hard to ask me for a loan?" he said, both annoyed and amused as he shook the screen, speechless. "Just sixty thousand, and you’re resorting to an online loan?"

"Do you know how much interest that is? Have you lost your mind?" he asked.

It turned out the counselor hadn’t answered his question because they had already opened the loan interface, trying to take care of it themselves.

In this era, it’s quite normal; internet finance was just starting to rise, with loan advertisements everywhere in the apps.

"What are you doing! Give it back!"

Guo Minjie sat up straight, glared, and reached for Lu Jincheng’s arm, trying to snatch the phone back.

"If you can take out loans for entrepreneurship, why can’t I take one to buy a house?" she demanded.

"How do you know I borrowed?" Lu Jincheng asked, taken aback.

"Director Cai said it at the dinner, calling you a legend for daring to start from scratch with a huge loan at a young age, putting everything on the line, a legendary story in Nanhu University’s history."

Guo Minjie pouted, reluctant to give him the satisfaction of praise but compelled to clarify.

As her student’s career took off and thanks to certain policies, her reputation among the school’s teachers grew day by day, rising as surely as the tide lifts a boat.

"I... no, it’s different with me," Lu Jincheng blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, it was his own influence on this world line that led Guo Minjie down the path of online loans.

Had he not appeared, Guo Minjie wouldn’t have divorced so early, wouldn’t have bought a house in haste without enough savings, and certainly wouldn’t have chosen an online loan because of his influence.

How could she even consider such a loan?

In Guo Minjie’s eyes, if students could borrow money for entrepreneurship, then borrowing to buy a house seemed perfectly reasonable.

It’s just a loan, right?

With a stable job, good benefits, and social security, what couldn’t she pay back?

But Mr. Lu understood the intricacies. Having influenced her decision, he couldn’t let her make that mistake.

"How is it different?" Guo Minjie huffed coldly.

"I’ll tell you in a bit," Lu Jincheng replied.

He pulled out his own phone, promptly transferred sixty thousand to Guo Minjie, used her phone to confirm the receipt, and only then did he hand the phone back to her.

As he lifted his head, he was startled by how cold Guo Minjie’s complexion looked.

He reacted swiftly, hastily saying, "Xiao Jie, listen to me, online loans are really not something to meddle with."

"You’ve heard of ’nine out of thirteen come back’, right? The interest rates are too high, and even if your housing fund can cover the loan, there’s no need for it."

Seeing that Guo Minjie was about to open her mouth to say something, he held the woman’s hand, rapidly adding.

"I won’t lend you this money for nothing, you are our company’s consulting teacher. Just come over and guide the short video team in copywriting every week, and consider that my interest."

"Really, their level isn’t up to scratch, if you don’t guide them, I would also have to spend money to find a professional to teach them."

Lu Jincheng looked into her eyes, saying earnestly.

This was indeed a fact; to create a hit product, the copywriting, editing, and accompanying music emotions are all very important.

"...Fine."

Having accepted the inevitable, Guo Minjie found herself unable to say all the words that were on her mind.

She truly did not want to have financial ties with Lu Jincheng.

Even the relationship between a teacher and a student wouldn’t be appropriate, let alone the current unclear and indescribable nature of their relationship?

If she took his money and didn’t even charge interest, what would that make her?

Luckily, Lu Jincheng was sharp enough and clever, quickly grasping her thoughts and finding the most suitable "out" in just a few exchanges.

He killed the idea of borrowing with a mix of forcefulness and wisdom, right in the cradle.

One of the biggest differences between a mature woman and a young girl is that Guo Minjie could listen to reason.

Being pushed into a corner, once she understood the pros and cons clearly, she stepped down that ladder.

Otherwise, was she really going to just watch helplessly as the counselor took out an online loan?

"After I return, you give me the scope, and I’ll prepare for the lecture, I’ll go once a week."

Guo Minjie frowned, not wanting to take advantage of him in the least.

"Okay."

Lu Jincheng nodded vigorously, his smile beaming.

After finalizing the new arrangement, he drove into Nanhu University and, instead of stopping at the counselor’s building, found a less crowded place to bid farewell to Guo Minjie.

Watching the counselor’s leisurely pace as she walked away, the sway of her hips subtly hinted at a brimming charm.

Mr. Lu touched his chin with one hand, filled with emotion.

The physique of a mature woman was indeed not bad, looking like there was nothing wrong, she recovered faster than he had anticipated.

After all, it was difficult to really exert her too much in the car.

...

By the time he returned to the dormitory, the sun had already set. Lu Jincheng changed clothes and invited Zhong Ruixi for a long-missed dinner in the cafeteria, enjoying a brief spell of sweet campus romance.

After dinner was his video meeting with the Tanhua Customization team.

The first product selection meeting.

The release of new products by Tanhua Customization was scheduled for the upcoming Double Eleven (Singles’ Day).

In the women’s fashion industry, consumer needs and trends change all the time, and sellers’ speed in launching new products can never keep up with market changes. This was a common pain point for many businesses during Double Eleven.

Based on this, Lu Jincheng and Xie Yujia joined forces to thoroughly prepare for this selection meeting, helping the new store get ready for Double Eleven from different angles.

Anticipating style trends, guiding consumer needs.

Mr. Lu had far-reaching experience, Xie Yujia had a keen sense, and together they often sparked wonderful ideas.

Just like the item right before them.

"Is this the sample garment sent from the factory, is it the style you wanted?"

Xie Yujia stood in front of the video, turning left then right in a highly professional manner.

Blooms of flowers flourished, and dresses fluttered.

Every autumn season, beneath the sakura trees, there would be no lack of young girls in plaid pleated skirts tying neck ribbons.

And the first hit product Mr. Lu planned to launch was the business savvy behind a JK uniform.
