Chapter 288 The Rival is Him
Chun Rixi returned to the company office. She was very discouraged and found several law firms that handled divorce and custody cases. They all told her that she had no chance of winning the custody battle with Lu Junze.
But what caught her off guard was that several new designers suddenly came to her office together and tendered their resignations in front of her and her secretary Guo Zhao.
During the conversation, these young designers said that a design company called Zhuguang offered them more generous salaries and hoped that they would switch jobs.
Chun Rixi realized that this Zhuguang seemed to be a jewelry design company that her mother Ye Hongceng had once given her to manage. She didn't expect that it still existed.
"Boss Chun, you've been very kind to us, but we want to develop on a bigger platform, so..."
"Well, I wish you great success in your new company. I will transfer your salary to your payroll card on time after the salary is settled."
"But you have all signed the company's confidentiality agreement, so you are not allowed to reprint and resend the drawings designed by my company."
"We are all designers. Everyone can tell whether there is plagiarism or not. The rest is left to the law."
Several designers immediately nodded to indicate that they would not do anything against professional ethics, and then hurriedly left the office.
Near noon, an unexpected guest came to Chun Rixi's office. She was Wu Jinnan, Lu Junze's former colleague.
Wu Jinnan had known Chun Rixi for a long time. After all, Lu Junze had once rejected her advances for her.
She thought these two people were very interesting. They got married abroad and then divorced when they returned home. No matter how deep the relationship was, it couldn't withstand such a fuss between the two of them.
But the purpose of her trip was not to gossip. Her father's company wanted to customize a gift specifically for thanking major customers, and the initial intention was a watch and a necklace.
The designs of Kasuga's company are currently the best-selling ones on the market. Wearing these jewels makes you instantly look fashionable and energetic.
So, Wu Jinyan visited him to discuss whether there was a chance for cooperation.
Chun Rixi is not only a designer, but also a businessman, so she attaches great importance to the cooperation intention proposed by Wu Jinnan this time.
"Manager Chun, let's go to the business club to discuss at 3 pm. After all, there is another company that also has cooperation intentions."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
Chun Rixi checked the customer information of Wu Jinnan's company and found that this cooperation was quite difficult.
Their customers are around 40 years old. Luxury brand jewelry is standard at their age, but Chun Rixi's young and fashionable design style may not suit their taste.
Guo Zhao noticed her anxiety and comforted her calmly.
"Xiao Xi, don't worry, design style is not necessarily the key to cooperation."
"They don't lack jewelry accessories. If they like the gifts they receive, they can wear them themselves. If they don't like them, they can give them away. These are not what you, as a designer, need to consider."
Chun Rixi smiled and nodded, admitting that she was narrow-minded. At this time, she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.
She tidied herself up briefly, declined Guo Zhao's offer of companionship, and drove to Jinming Club alone.
But just as she parked her car in the parking space, a black Rolls-Royce quickly stopped next to her parking space and Lu Junze got out of the car.
Chun Rixi's heart trembled, and she felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the other company Wu Jinnan mentioned was under Lu Junze's control?
Lu Junze seemed to have just noticed her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled generously and waved at her.
"Xiao Xi, what a coincidence!"
His face suddenly darkened, and he strode towards Chun Rixi. He raised his hand to trap her between the car door and his chest, then leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Chun Rixi reacted and hurriedly pushed away his entangled lips and teeth, watching him raise his hand and casually wipe the lipstick smeared on his lips, and roared angrily.
"Are you sick!"
She leaned over to face the rearview mirror and found that her lipstick had become a mess due to the intense kiss just now, and it was all over her chin and cheeks.
"Didn't you expect me to do this?"
"Who could have imagined this?!"
Chun Rixi retorted without hesitation while wiping the lipstick marks on her face with a tissue.
"Then Zhu Anqing took Ai Xi away. My mother and I didn't expect it. Why do you blame us?"
Lu Junze's face was full of unwillingness, and his broken and sad eyes stared at the woman in front of him who broke his heart.
Chun Rixi shuddered all over. After calming down for the past few days, she also felt that Lu Junze was very wronged, but she did not have the courage to apologize to him, so she simply chose to escape.
"I don't blame anybody."
Lu Junze grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest, which made Chun Rixi, who was holding lipstick and preparing to touch up her makeup, even more angry.
"You did! You resent me. You resent me for holding an engagement party with Zhu Anqing. You resent me for betraying you!"
"I'm just angry that she used her identity as my fiancée to trick the security system into taking Aixi away. If she didn't have that identity, she wouldn't be able to take my baby away."
Lu Junze sneered as he watched her continue to quibble.
"What right do you have to be angry? I haven't ended my relationship with her. She is my fiancée. It is not your turn as her ex-wife to interfere with what she does with Ai Xi!"
Chun Rixi didn't want to continue arguing with him in the parking lot. She had already seen someone looking at them, and she didn't want to become the subject of news media reports.
"Okay, okay, you're right. When you go to visit her in prison, please say hello to her for me!"
She immediately walked quickly into the club. She knew without even looking that Lu Junze's face was extremely gloomy at the moment.
Wu Jinnan was waiting in the box when he saw Chun Rixi with an embarrassed look on her face and Lu Junze with a cold face walking into the box one after another.
Chun Rixi now understood that Lu Junze was really her competitor. Her desire to win was ignited at this moment. She wanted to win!
Lu Junze gave Wu Jinnan a charming smile, his dark eyes were deep and boundless, and his extremely aggressive appearance once again made her heart flutter.
"Jinnan, long time no see, you look even more beautiful now!"
Wu Jinnan's cheeks blushed with shyness. After all, it was pleasant to be praised by someone you once liked.
"This is the first time I've heard you say this! Even though it's a lie, it sounds nice to hear."
"You have a good taste. You choose clothes that really show off your figure."
This sentence made Wu Jinnan's face look like a ripe tomato, even redder.
"Thank you. I am embarrassed by your praise."
Chun Rixi always felt that she was in an awkward situation, but her desire to win made her unwilling to give up before the game even started, so she had no choice but to sit down and listen.
"Mr. Wu, please tell us about the topic of this cooperation."
Only then did Wu Jinnan stop the urge to continue chatting with Lu Junze. After all, the woman in front of him was his ex-wife, and it was a bit inappropriate to do so.
"There are no specific requirements. The design just needs to have our company's logo and a thank you note."
Chun Rixi smiled politely, stood up, and stretched out her hand and said to her.
"Okay, I'll give you the design draft in three days!"
