Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 224 - 172. Not troubled by few, but troubled by inequality.

Chapter 224: 172. Not troubled by few, but troubled by inequality.

The experience of a young girl and that of a young wife really differ.

The next morning, when Lu Jincheng woke up groggily, Guo Minjie was no longer by his side and his arm felt numb from being compressed.

He was stunned at first, took a few seconds to realize he was at Guo Minjie’s house, then stretched out his arm and propped himself up to sit.

The half of the bedsheet next to him was still wrinkled. He picked up two long, soft black hairs from his arm.

After stretching, he glanced at the cellphone on the bedside table. It was just after eight.

Beside the phone was a cup of warm water, presumably left by Guo Minjie.

The clinking sounds from the kitchen were cheerful, indicating big sister was making breakfast.

Just for this alone, last night’s efforts had not been in vain.

He put on a T-shirt, rubbed his eyes, and walked out, raising his voice, "Xiao Jie, making breakfast?"

"Yeah, you were sleeping so soundly, and you were so tired yesterday, I didn’t wake you."

"You must be tired too, it’s easier to order takeout."

"Eating takeout often isn’t healthy."

Guo Minjie turned her head, her face adorned with a gentle crescent smile as she watched Lu Jincheng enter the kitchen. "Are you cooking noodles?"

The man wrapped his arms around her from behind, leaning over to take a peek. "Go wash up and sit down for a while, it’ll be ready soon, don’t rush."

Now she finally showed a bit of the demeanor of a school counselor.

She pointed to the finely chopped meat and vegetable leaves on the cutting board next to her, and there were also two eggs beaten in a bowl.

"Xiao Jie, you’re really great..."

Lu Jincheng turned his head and kissed her near her ear.

Seeing her still dressed as last night, a surge of emotion filled him, and his hands around her waist couldn’t help but climb upwards.

Sure enough, through the thin homewear, he instantly grasped the softness and fullness.

"Stop it, I’m cooking, you can’t mess around now."

Guo Minjie lightly slapped his hand away, perhaps the big sister today exceptionally tied her hair in a ponytail for ease while cooking, adding a youthful charm to her smiles and frowns.

The two sat down together and peacefully had breakfast, then headed off to different areas one after another.

Workdays were just like this, Guo Minjie went to work, and though Lu Jincheng didn’t have early classes today, as an entrepreneur, he had no rest days either and had to go to Nanhu Industrial Park.

...

Mr. Lu had just returned to his office when the door was knocked.

It was He Ying, holding a folder, her face stern.

"There are a few urgent matters and some less urgent ones, I’ll go through them one by one."

"First, people online have already started mimicking All Dreams, and they’re selling it at even lower prices!"

"Oh? So soon?"

Lu Jincheng straightened up, his interest piqued.

He had anticipated his product being copied, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

Not buddies, what’s the situation?

These people really think they’re multinational Japanese enterprises, not knowing how to protect their rights on this land?

His long-planned JK Police anti-counterfeiting operation hadn’t officially started yet, everything was still in the preparatory phase, and now his competitors had given him a little surprise.

"Hang City is worried, they asked first thing in the morning, what should we do?"

He Ying looked anxious, her brows knitted.

"What’s the rush, last time I mentioned in the car about that design patent registration, have you done that?"

"It’s been applied for, but it hasn’t gone through the whole process yet."

In terms of efficiency, He Ying was truly exceptional.

No matter the situation, be it in the car or the office, whatever Lu Jincheng casually mentioned, she managed to keep well-documented and responded promptly.

In fact, such people were perfect for working in sunrising industries where efficiency is paramount, allowing them to explore their abilities on better platforms.

Rather than wasting a lifetime in lower-level bureaucracy like He Ying in her past life, squandering her life in inconsequential paperwork.

From the outside, it looks like a secure job, but it’s quite unfriendly to some.

It torturously wears down the patience and talent of outstanding young people, slowly grinding their ambitions into dust, letting their youth deplete in empty formalism.

"Then no rush, let them sell the knock-offs, we’ll teach them a lesson when the patent is granted."

Lu Jincheng sipped his hot tea, confident in his plan.

Yesterday, he was still chatting with Yongyi on WeChat about the thesis.

She was focusing on whether current market data was substantial enough to support a paper, and she questioned him about it.

Though Lu Jincheng confidently answered her on the spot, after checking the data online himself, he wasn’t very sure.

If he really followed the direction he had casually mentioned that day, the supporting data might indeed be problematic.

The phenomenon of knocking off Japanese brands is not uncommon, but he wasn’t directly involved, so he couldn’t access the knock-off vendors’ income statements or conduct an in-depth analysis from the perspective of Neon companies.

It’s difficult.

But by a twist of fate, he didn’t expect his company’s All Dreams to be copied so soon!

Ready-made, detailed, fresh data for a paper, wasn’t it coming his way?

"The second matter, it’s also quite urgent."

He Ying blinked, paused to gauge Lu Jincheng’s expression before saying,

"Recently... a small group of employees have been discreetly communicating, planning to band together to ask for a raise."

Lu Jincheng was first stunned, then quickly reacted, extending his hand in a calm voice.

"What are their demands? Who are they? Show me the list."

"The list... I don’t have it, I just heard there was such a thing."

He Ying lowered her lashes, her voice hushed as she spoke.
