Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Qin Zheng was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a black suit jacket, looking cool and composed.

But those dark eyes seemed to see right through people when they looked at them, with an undisguised scrutiny.

Lu Xingci stepped inside and politely greeted everyone first.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qin, to make this trip in person."

Qin Zheng reached out his hand, and his assistant immediately handed him a pre-prepared contract.

Qin Zheng placed the contract on the table, and after Lu Xingci sat down, he used his index and middle fingers to push the contract forward to Lu Xingci.

"This is the transfer agreement for the garment factory. Miss Lu, please take a look. If there are no problems, once you sign it, the factory will be yours, and the matter between you and Xiaomei will be over."

Lu Xingci picked up the contract, carefully reviewed the terms, and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed it and pushed the agreement back to Qin Zheng.

"I've signed it."

Qin Zheng picked up the agreement, casually handed it to his assistant, stood up, and slowly buttoned up his suit jacket.

"The legal department will handle the rest. I'll take my leave now."

Lu Xingci nodded and responded softly.

"it is good."

Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng stopped abruptly at the door.

"Ms. Lu, as someone who's been through this, may I offer you some advice?"

He stood sideways in the doorway, blocking most of the light, his face cold and his eyes carrying a hint of barely perceptible disdain.

"What?"

"If people are too greedy, they will end up with nothing. I think Miss Lu has heard the saying that you can't get anything out of your efforts."

After leaving the Yuan family hotel last night, Qin Zheng immediately had someone investigate Lu Xingci.

Finally, it was unexpectedly discovered that Lu Xingci was actually Song Qinghui's ex-girlfriend, and that she was now with Shen Yu.

The company's legal representative is another man's name.

Having seen countless people, Qin Zheng quickly realized that Lu Xingci was nothing more than a materialistic woman who used her beauty as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder.

The fact that the agreement was signed so readily now further confirms Qin Zheng's suspicions.

Lu Xingci didn't take Qin Zheng's words to heart at all, thinking that he was probably just resentful that the factory had been forced to be handed over and that she was being greedy.

Lu Xingci didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as Qin Zheng left, he put the matter out of his mind and busied himself with receiving the endless stream of guests in the VIP lounge.

By the time I got off work in the evening, the orders for custom-made cheongsams were piled up like a small mountain.

Lu Xingci rubbed his sore arm, moved it a little, and prepared to continue drawing the design draft.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door.

Lu Xingci looked up and saw Xu Zhiwei standing at the door wearing an apricot-colored long dress.

She shook the beer in her hand, her smile radiant.

"How about it, Mr. Lu? Let's have a couple of drinks to celebrate the grand opening!"

Lu Xingci put down the sketch, got up, and tidied up the coffee table.

"Come in quickly, you've come just in time, I'm starving."

Xu Zhiwei walked in wearing high heels and carrying a large food box, laying out all the food boxes on the coffee table.

There was a braised platter, hot dishes, a large portion of crayfish, and even a strawberry mousse cake prepared for Lu Xingci.

Upon seeing the food and wine, Lu Xingci's stomach rumbled with excitement. Seeing the cake, he was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

"Are you sure you've got the date right? It's not your birthday today, and it's not mine either. Why are you buying a cake?"

Xu Zhiwei took out a candle, inserted it into the mousse cake, and lit it.

"I won't celebrate your birthday, but I will celebrate your new beginning."

Xu Zhiwei sat down opposite her and pulled the bottle cap with her index finger.

Boom!

The sound of a bottle cap being pulled open echoed in the office, like fireworks exploding.

Xu Zhiwei handed the wine to Lu Xingci.

"When you were with Song Qinghui before, I always scolded you for being blind and delusional, as if you were under a spell."

Now that you've finally gotten rid of Song Qinghui and resigned from JL to start a new journey, you absolutely have to celebrate!

Lu Xingci sniffed, her eyes welling up with tears. She smiled as she accepted the beer and clinked glasses with Xu Zhiwei.

"Okay, let's celebrate my new life, and may we all meet good people in the future."

"Yes, I wish we would only meet good people in the future!"

Everyone else in the company had already left work, and the company gate was locked from the inside. Only from the innermost office could one hear the hearty laughter of two people and the clinking of bottles, creating a cheerful melody in the night.

Xu Zhiwei had drunk too much and fell asleep on the sofa in the office.

Lu Xingci wasn't sleepy yet, but her mind was foggy and it wasn't a good time to continue drawing.

I simply lay back in the chair and fiddled with my phone.

I hadn't noticed that I had received several friend requests on my phone while I was drinking and chatting with Xu Zhiwei.

Upon opening the link, one could see Duan Lingfeng, Jiang Lin, and Yuan Jitong.

Lu Xingci didn't hesitate and approved them one by one.

As soon as the friend request was accepted, Lu Xingci was added to a small group of five people.

Looking at the group members, she seemed out of place among Shen Yu and the others, like an easy multiple-choice question.

Duan Lingfeng: @Lu Xingci Welcome, sister-in-law!

Jiang Lin: @Lu Xingci, welcome sister-in-law!

Yuan Jitong: @Lu Xingci's sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon! [Sprinkling flowers][Sprinkling flowers][Sprinkling flowers]

Duan Lingfeng: Can't you pay attention to the format? Do you think you're so good at talking?

Jiang Lin: I think you're really asking for a beating!

The last time they played mahjong, it seemed that Yuan Jitong was often bullied by Duan Lingfeng and Jiang Lin, but their relationship was so good that it was enviable.

Lu Xingci was already used to it, but she still felt a little embarrassed to be called "sister-in-law".

Lu Xingci: Call me by my name. I only said that yesterday because I was angry.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu, who had been spying on the screen, couldn't help but jump out as well.

Shen Yu: What, you used me last night, and now you're denying it?

Lu Xingci didn't know how to reply for a moment, just then Shen Yu's message popped up.

What are you doing? Have you eaten? I'll come pick you up.

Shen Yu could guess that after yesterday's high-profile support, Lu Xingci would be extremely busy today and for the next month.

In addition, he had many projects to deal with, so he didn't have time to bother her during the day.

Seeing that she was already posting in the group chat, I finally dared to send her a private message to ask her out for dinner.

Lu Xingci took a picture of the night view of Beijing from his office.

We haven't gone home yet. Weiwei brought dinner over, but she drank a bit too much. We'll probably be sleeping in the office tonight and won't be going home.

Are you implying that you want me to come to your company?

Of course not, Young Master Shen, don't always assume others' opinions based on your own.

What should I do? I really want to see you.

The words "I want to see you" felt like a red-hot branding iron, instantly causing Lu Xingci's heart to clench.

Just as I was hesitating about how to reply, a news notification popped up at the top of the screen.
