Beijing Marriage Entanglement

"Me? Have you ever seen me afraid of anyone?"

Shen Yu spoke arrogantly, but none of the people present thought he was just boasting.

After all, he's the kind of person who dares to mess with even his own father, so it's normal that the old guys in the Ruan family aren't afraid.

Moreover, since Shen Yu secretly took over the group's business in recent years, he has not only filled the hole caused by Shen Yunting in the previous years, but also made the expansion speed of the Shen family's business empire the fastest among the three families of Shen, Ruan and Qin.

As a result, the businesses of the Duan, Jiang, and Yuan families also prospered.

The next morning, after arriving at the company, Lu Xingci told Jiang Wenzhao about the garment factory.

"Although it's free, I heard it's been losing money for two years in a row, so you'd better not get your hopes up too high."

Jiang Wenzhao smiled and handed the freshly ground coffee to Lu Xingci.

"Hey, as you like, add milk and half sugar."

Lu Xingci accepted the coffee and thanked him with a smile.

"Thanks."

She took a sip, gave a satisfied "hmm," and continued.

"Regarding the partnership arrangement, we still need to change it. You're involved in both design and operation, and you're still providing the funds, so I can't take advantage of you. Consider this garment factory as my initial investment."

Jiang Wenzhao moved his lips, but before he could speak, Lu Xingci spoke first.

"If you refuse, then I will withdraw from Wanxing Clothing."

Jiang Wenzhao paused for a moment, then smiled, stretched out his arm, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I promise you. You really are something, why are you being so calculating with me? You haven't changed a bit since we were in school."

Back when they were in school, even if he bought Lu Xingci a meal, she would always give him a yogurt in return.

Jiang Wenzhao couldn't help but wonder if she and Shen Yu also kept their accounts separate and clear even when they were brothers.

Seeing that he agreed, Lu Xingci raised her coffee cup and gently clinked it against his in the air.

"It would be better if you didn't suffer a loss. Let's go and take a look at the site later. If there's any hope, we can renovate it and maybe save us a lot of money."

Originally, I planned to find a garment factory to cooperate with long-term. Now that I have my own garment factory, I can save a lot of money on costs.

After having coffee and briefly discussing company matters, the two set off for the development zone where the garment factory was located.

Upon arriving at the garage, Jiang Wenzhao took out his car keys and spoke as he walked towards his car.

"My car is almost out of gas. If I'm going to the development zone, I'll go to a gas station first, otherwise the car will break down halfway."

He had barely finished speaking when Lu Xingci spoke.

"How about we drive my car?"

Jiang Wenzhao was taken aback. "You bought a car? When did you buy it? Didn't you not buy it yesterday?"

Lu Xingci smiled faintly.

"I didn't actually buy it yesterday."

Just as Jiang Wenzhao was about to ask who bought it, for some reason, he subconsciously thought of Shen Yu.

He tentatively began to speak.

"Did Shen Yu give this to you?"

Lu Xingci nodded, took out his car keys to unlock the car, and the headlights of the Porsche parked next to Jiang Wenzhao's BMW flashed.

"Well, I didn't want it at first, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it."

Shen Yu stared wide-eyed in surprise at the emerald green Porsche, its stunningly beautiful body catching the eye.

Is Shen Yu really that willing to give up?

However, thinking about the gossip and rumors about him that I saw online last night, although he could only keep the novelty off each girlfriend for a few days, he seemed to be very generous to each one.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenzhao finally felt relieved.

"This car is beautiful. Since we can't refuse, let's accept it. Young Master Shen isn't short of money. This car is probably to him what buying a piece of clothing is to us."

Despite saying that, Lu Xingci actually felt quite guilty.

But for now, that's all we can do.

The two opened the car door, got in, and fastened their seatbelts. Lu Xingci then opened the navigation app, entered the address of the garment factory, and followed the navigation instructions to drive to the development zone.

Although neither of them had much hope, Lu Xingci was still somewhat frightened when he saw the huge garment factory in front of him.

The Qin family gave away such a large-scale garment factory so readily.

Upon learning that the new boss had arrived, the factory manager and a group of factory management personnel hurriedly came out to greet him.

"You must be General Manager Lu. I am the factory manager, Zhao Kun. This is Chen, the finance manager. This is Lin Min, the production workshop director. This is Wu Hui, the finishing workshop director. This is Zheng Yan, the warehouse director. This is Wen Rang, the sample making and cutting workshop director."

Under Director Zhao's introduction, Lu Xingci got to know each workshop director one by one. Afterwards, under Director Zhao's guidance, he toured the factory while listening to his introduction of the factory's situation.

By the time the tour was over, it was already 1 p.m.

After walking around all this way, Lu Xingci's legs were sore.

So when Director Zhao suggested they stay and eat at the factory canteen, the two of them didn't refuse and went along.

During lunch, a group of workers came to eat after work, and Lu Xingci asked them a question out of curiosity.

"Director Zhao, I see that all the machines and personnel in our factory are operating well, so why are we suffering continuous losses?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun sighed, took out a cigarette from his bag, and put it to his lips.

Just as it was about to be lit, he belatedly looked at Lu Xingci across from him.

"Do you mind?"

Lu Xingci smiled slightly, "Please do as you wish."

Zhao Kun then lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said unhurriedly.

"Actually, our factory was quite profitable at first. But a few years ago, a leader came to the factory. I heard he was a relative of a senior executive in the group."

He's a complete novice, knowing absolutely nothing about garment manufacturing, yet he insists on making reforms, wanting to produce results to impress the group. The result is that thousands of employees in our factory are suffering terribly.

Zhao Kun took another puff as he spoke and pointed outside the cafeteria.

"To be honest, the people you just saw are the ones who were forced to stay after the mass exodus due to various reasons in their lives."

After saying this, Zhao Kun hesitated for a moment, looking at Lu Xingci and Jiang Wenzhao, as if he had made up his mind. He threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, then knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"President Lu, I heard that this factory was given to you by Chairman Qin. You may just be using this factory for fun on a whim."

But for the more than two thousand people who remain, this is their livelihood to support their families. We hope you can take care of us and not make a mess of reforms like the previous leader.

Our factory is large-scale, and we still have several large orders that haven't been completed yet. As long as we continue production as scheduled, making a profit will definitely not be a problem.

The news that Chairman Qin had given the factory to a woman surnamed Lu had already spread throughout the factory.

Today, Zhao Kun saw Lu Xingci and, seeing how beautiful she was, subconsciously assumed that she was Qin Zheng's lover and that the factory was just a gift from Qin Zheng to win her favor.

That's how the scene of kneeling in the cafeteria came about.

He's over fifty; he'll be able to retire in a few more years.

This kneeling was not for himself, but for the more than two thousand frontline workers who trusted him.
