Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Zhao Kun's kneeling startled many people in the cafeteria.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Xingci, their faces showing difficulty and frustration.

"Oh no, looks like the factory is going to be in trouble again."

"This woman is so young, she probably doesn't know anything. The factory will go bankrupt sooner or later."

"It's really tough on Director Zhao. He's so old, and he still has to kneel down in public to beg for our sake!"

The whispers and discussions were carried to my ears by the wind.

Lu Xingci was also startled. After she came to her senses, she quickly helped Director Zhao up.

"Don't worry, I'm also in the clothing business, I won't make blind reforms."

Zhao Kun asked suspiciously, "Mr. Lu, you're also in the clothing business?"

Jiang Wenzhao then handed over his and Lu Xingci's business cards and introduced them.

"We co-founded Wanxing Apparel. It's just starting out. At the moment, the company's orders are only for private customization. But we will also receive a batch of large commercial orders in the future. At that time, our factory will have to supply Wanxing with goods."

The three sat in the cafeteria and talked for a long time about their work plans for the future.

When Lu Xingci and Jiang Wenzhao got up to leave, Zhao Kun personally saw them off to their car.

"President Lu, please rest assured, with me overseeing the factory, there will absolutely be no problems. We guarantee that all orders will be completed with high quality and quantity."

Lu Xingci nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Zhao."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm thanking you on behalf of the factory's more than two thousand employees."

That's great. Not only is the person who came knowledgeable, but he's also in the clothing business.

After leaving the garment factory, Lu Xingci and Jiang Wenzhao returned to the company.

The two revised the cooperation agreement, and then busied themselves with drawing drafts and making private customizations until night fell, when Lu Xingci finally left the company.

Just then, Jiang Wenzhao came out of his office and made a suggestion with a smile.

"Want to have dinner together?"

Lu Xingci thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's invite Weiwei too."

Upon hearing that Xu Zhiwei should be called, Jiang Wenzhao's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything and followed Lu Xingci into the car.

He fastened his seatbelt, started the engine, and dialed Xu Zhiwei's number as he drove the car out of the garage.

"Hey, Xingci, what's up? Calling me at this hour, want to grab a late-night snack or a couple of drinks?"

Xu Zhiwei's voice came from the car stereo, tinged with languor and undisguised joy.

"You're home?"

"Of course, it's almost ten o'clock."

"Didn't you used to often work overtime until 9 or 10 pm?"

"I'm not the same person I used to be, let me tell you... never mind, where should we meet? Let's talk when we meet."

Jiang Wenzhao replied.

"We just came from the company and haven't eaten yet. Come downstairs now and we'll come pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwei was surprised for a moment, then teased her.

"Hey Jiang Wenzhao, what's up with you today? You're being so thoughtful by coming to pick me up. Do you need something from me?"

Jiang Wenzhao rolled his eyes from afar.

"Xing Ci was driving, not me."

"Xingci, my darling, you bought a car? Wait, I'm coming down right now. Jiang Wenzhao, you give up the passenger seat! Xingci's passenger seat must be mine!"

"Hey, why are you so bossy? You can sit here, but I can't?"

"You can't sit here, you can't sit here."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lu Xingci quickly hung up the phone.

When the car arrived at Xu Zhiwei's building, Xu Zhiwei circled the car several times, exclaiming in surprise.

"Did Shen Yu give this to you?"

She pulled Jiang Wenzhao aside, sat in the passenger seat, and while fastening her seatbelt, leaned close to Lu Xingci and asked mysteriously.

"Yes, I bought it yesterday."

"Tsk, Young Master Shen is quite generous, unlike that Song Qinghui, who is stingy and only knows how to exploit you. Even after breaking up, he still stole your manuscript."

By the way, has my lawyer friend contacted you?

Lu Xingci nodded.

"Yes, they contacted me this morning, but I was at the factory at the time. We arranged to meet tomorrow morning to discuss the case."

"That's good, Song Qinghui won't be able to escape this time."

Lu Xingci glanced at her and, seeing how confident she was, couldn't help but ask.

"Is your friend very good at handling copyright infringement cases?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwei guiltily looked away and answered absentmindedly.

"Of course, you can rest assured to hand the case over to him, he will definitely handle it perfectly."

How could the lawyer Shen Yu hired not be professional?

Lu Xingci felt something was off, so he asked her a question when he got out of the car.

"How did you meet this lawyer friend?"

Xu Zhiwei blinked, feeling guilty.

"Sigh, he used to pursue me, but I didn't agree. But even so, when I asked him for help, I agreed without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingci was clearly taken aback, and he stopped in his tracks.

Noticing Lu Xingci's expression, Xu Zhiwei asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xingci shook his head. "It's okay, let's go inside. I'm hungry."

Although I didn't see her in person, it was clear from the phone call today that the other person was a woman, and she sounded quite old.

Did you pursue Vivi?

Xu Zhiwei paid the bill for dinner because she got a promotion.

Now I'm a secretary in the secretariat, and with the promotion, my salary has doubled.

Lu Xingci felt perfectly justified in serving this meal.

The next morning, a woman wearing a gray suit and rimless glasses knocked on Lu Xingci's office door.

"Mr. Lu, I spoke with you yesterday. My surname is Zhuang."

Lu Xingci raised his eyes and looked at the woman at the door.

Although she didn't have any prejudice against the issue of orientation, she was still stunned for a moment when she saw Zhuang Lu.

The person in front of her was dressed too seriously and rigidly, and looked more than a decade older than Xu Zhiwei.

She simply couldn't imagine that someone as serious and upright as a high school homeroom teacher would pursue a girl so much younger than himself!

Despite being shocked inside, she maintained her composure and politeness on the surface.

Lu Xingci had his assistant make coffee, and the two sat down and talked for a long time about the infringement case.

Lu Xingci explained the whole story, played the audio that Mo Lin had helped record for Zhuang Lu, and showed Zhuang Lu the screenshots of their chat.

What was thought to be evidence that would be a fatal blow turned out to be a single question from Attorney Zhuang after he listened.

Was this audio recorded secretly, or was it recorded with the other party's knowledge?

Lu Xingci didn't know much about the relevant laws either, so he answered truthfully.

"My friend recorded it secretly."

Zhuang Lu adjusted his glasses and said seriously.

"Secretly recorded evidence is not accepted by the court. In other words, this evidence cannot be used as proof in court."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingci's heart sank.

Is all the evidence we worked so hard to obtain just going to be wasted like this?

Does plagiarism mean we have to just turn a blind eye and tolerate it?

For a moment, they were plunged into despair.

"Do you mean it's obsolete and useless?"

The next second, Zhuang Lu changed his serious demeanor again, a sly glint in his eyes, and said.

"I only said it cannot be used as evidence in court, but I didn't say it's null and void. We can do it like this..."
