Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 422 - 310. Busy exam week

Chapter 422: 310. Busy exam week

There were no other choices.

Even though she had resolved early on to stop dealing with that guy.

Even though she had just sung one heartbreaking love song after another, nearly airing all her personal affairs in public.

Even though after returning to Jiang City, she encountered many, many challenges.

But none compared to this moment.

In every long-standing intimate relationship, there are moments destined to become turning points.

Her hesitation lasted only for a few brief seconds.

Zhou Sinin pulled out her innermost bank card and handed it to the waiter, expressionless.

"Swipe it," she said.

The beep of the POS machine sounded.

[Please enter your password]

What was the password again?

Zhou Sinin stood frozen, biting her lip, frantically sifting through her memory.

No...

It wasn’t that she had forgotten the password.

She had never asked him for it in the first place.

She had never intended to spend his money!

So when she said they were breaking up to his face, Zhou Sinin even forgot that Lu Jincheng had given her a bank card to keep.

But this was no problem for Zhou Sinin.

Since Lu Jincheng had given it to her, she knew from her understanding of him that the password had to be one of three possibilities.

She tried the first one.

Zhou Sinin’s index finger lightly tapped, the six-digit number smoothly entered.

Transaction approved.

As expected.

The password was her birthday.

Lu Jincheng was always meticulous in his actions, always making people feel comfortable and reassured.

"Ninin, we’ll go back, charge our phones, then Venmo you the money~"

"Right, right."

Leaving the wholesale-style KTV’s doors, on the way back to the dormitory, her roommates continued to laugh and chat.

"Hahaha, no need."

The evening breeze blew as Zhou Sinin raised her head, looking at the moon which flickered in the sky, and couldn’t help but laugh softly to herself.

In the long night, nobody could see the complexity hidden in her dimples.

Yeah.

Now that she’d started.

What was there to keep up?

...

In another corner of Jiangcheng City, Lu Jincheng was also extremely busy.

After all, aside from the staff at Golden Stone Coffee, Mr. Lu had other business ventures to manage.

On the fifth working day after New Year’s Day, Shangcheng District Court in Hang City officially ruled that the defendant, Plaid Story’s Taobao store, was suspected of infringement.

The court ordered Plaid Story to compensate Tanhua Customization’s Taobao store for related fees amounting to 6.4 million yuan.

The moment he received the verdict, Lu Jincheng generously handed out a big year-end bonus to the staff at Tanhua Customization.

This was currently his most important cash cow.

In reality, aside from the hot-selling All Dreams, many of his ideas were gradually being implemented at Tanhua Customization.

Like optimizing the spacing of the plaid, the sharpness of the skirt folds, the style of the collars, the colors of the dresses, and so on.

All executed by the highly paid artist Dan Jing.

Once the verdict was announced, Lu Jincheng arranged for all his online forces to step up their promotional efforts, massively expanding his influence within the industry.

The anonymized court verdict was directly posted online on the official Weibo, and the reposts, likes, and comments quickly exceeded five figures.

Bad news travels fast.

The TOP-level JK uniform store on Taobao was proven to be a plagiarizer by the official judgment, essentially eroding the reputation it had built up over many years.

How embarrassing!

When considering the industry atmosphere that Mr. Lu had been shaping, the fact that the "pangolin" brand became everyone’s target only deepened its notoriety.

Wearing knock-offs could make industry insiders think you are "disqualified" and not a true aficionado.

Domestic brands work hard and sincerely design these clothes; their "sincerity" is priceless.

Everyone hopes for a steady stream of original products, so supporting original design is even more critical.

The impact of the lawsuit slowly fermented, bolstering the sales of many new products from Tanhua Customization, which skyrocketed within a day.

That’s how real this world is.

When a leading brand falls, the next one will quickly take its place.

Meanwhile, final exam week was also the peak season for feasting.

After dining with classmates comes meals with colleagues, friends, and leaders whom one maintains good relations with.

And of course, close female confidantes.

The first day was the staff dinner of Golden Stone Media.

Lu Jincheng, as the big boss, made a brief appearance and went to Nanhu Industrial Park with He Ying to gather the company’s executives for a hot pot meal.

The year-end bonus was naturally one aspect.

Moreover, Mr. Lu also distributed New Year’s red envelopes to employees who chose to work over the holidays,

ensuring the company operated normally during the New Year.

The second day was dinner with a small circle of friends.

Lu Jincheng gradually became one with the group over half a semester’s time, revolving around the deputy branch manager of Jiang City, Huang Hu.

Huang Hu chose an old-fashioned hot pot restaurant in Jiang City where everyone mingled with raised glasses.

In the New Year, everyone wished to strive towards a better future.

The third day was a dinner for leaders who had looked after the company.

Not only did regional leaders and the principal of Nanhu University take time to attend, but Lu Jincheng also hosted them at a private home-style restaurant where both hosts and guests left in high spirits.

Taking advantage of the public call for innovation and entrepreneurship, Lu Jincheng was also building his network within the system.

Guo Minjie’s promotion was just a small step he took using the opportunity.

Once he was on the stage, he would plan more and longer-term strategies for the instructor.

The remaining time was reserved for the golden flowers of Golden Stone Media.

"Mr. Lu~ I toast to you!"

The golden flowers of Golden Stone Media were very surprised by boss Lu Jincheng’s arrangements for the day.

They dined in a Western restaurant on the twelfth floor in the center of Jiangcheng City, then went to the rooftop to view the city’s nightlife.

Although each of them could afford frequent visits to such Western restaurants with average expenses close to four figures on their own,

let’s face it, live broadcasting is also a physically demanding job.

They didn’t have that much time to spend on such luxuries in their daily lives.

Yu Qingyue stood up, her cheeks as red and enchanting as blooming flowers.

Today, she was wearing a round-neck, tight-fitting lace camisole top; although it wasn’t revealing or see-through, she definitely wouldn’t wear it out on its own. The lace was delicate and finely detailed, contouring her shoulders and waist, outlining her figure.

It also presented her proud 36D curves attractively.

Moreover, she had her hair up.

This was the first time Lu Jincheng saw her with this hairstyle.

She meticulously styled her luxurious hair with skills men would never comprehend, tying it into an exquisite and soft Korean-style multi-layered bun at the crown of her head.

"Your hair looks pretty nice today."

Lu Jincheng said with a smile, raising his glass.

He always found this kind of hairdo to be the most seductive and charming.

It really suited Yu Qingyue.

Because her neck and her ears were fully revealed due to her hair being up, showing the softest and most delicate scenery.

When you’ve known a woman for a long time, you’ll notice not only her breasts, her buttocks, her legs, but also all kinds of sexy details.

"Thank you~"

Yu Qingyue narrowed her eyes, her gaze seeming to hold a thousand amorous feelings.
