Chapter 234 Enticing with Profit

"No, no, no, we're not here to cause trouble. We're looking for someone. We don't need to go to the police station." Lu Mingyuan immediately struggled when she heard that she had to go to the police station.

"Then it's not up to you. We're trying to do business properly, but you're deliberately causing trouble. If we don't punish you, you won't go, will you?"

"If I hadn't immediately seen through your intentions, so many of my VIP customers would have misunderstood the quality of the clothes, damaging the reputation of our Treasure Pavilion. Who would have borne this loss?"

Jiang Ruzhen was really angry. Was it easy for her to establish the Treasure Pavilion?

It took nearly three months of hard work, working day and night, to create the situation we have today.

The Lu family deliberately sabotaged the operation, which not only shows their maliciousness but also their moral depravity.

I never imagined that someone as kind as Lu Mingzheng would have such a family.

Upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, Lu Mingyuan turned pale with fright and quickly bowed to apologize to those around her, "I'm sorry, we actually came to talk to the person in charge about cooperation."

We only resorted to this last resort because we couldn't find the person, and we're truly sorry for taking up everyone's shopping time. Now that we've found them, everyone can go their separate ways.”

The people around them looked at each other in confusion when they saw the woman apologizing to them, wondering what they were after.

Lu Mingning nodded to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, the clothes from Treasure Pavilion are of particularly good quality, and my sister and I really like them. We just wanted to meet the person in charge in this way, and we've caused you all trouble."

Upon hearing this, the people around him scoffed and gradually dispersed.

It turns out they were two crazy women obsessed with their idols, resorting to such a despicable trick to meet their idols. How insane!

The sudden change in their attitudes caught Jiang Ruzhen off guard. While she was still in a daze, Lu Mingyuan smiled and bowed to her as well.

"Excuse me, are you the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion? I've wanted to meet you for so long, and I'm so glad to finally meet you in person today."

Jiang Ruzhen frowned and looked at the two coldly; their attitudes were off.

If they knew she was Lu Mingzheng's girlfriend, they shouldn't have been so polite!

What are they really up to?

"I work for Xinhua and have been wanting to meet with you for a chat, but you seem too busy. Do you have some time now? Shall we talk at the coffee shop next door?"

Xinhua people?

Jiang Ruzhen heard someone speak behind her and turned around to look.

She saw a very dignified and elegant lady standing in front of her, looking at her with a sincere smile.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Bai Jing from Xinhua. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name?"

Bai Jing was the first to raise her hand and shake hands with Jiang Ruzhen, whose eyes flickered twice.

It seems that Bai Jing doesn't know her at all, and neither do the two older sisters.

Were they too lazy to investigate her background, or did they simply look down on her and not even know her name?

“My surname is Jiang, Jiang Ruzhen.”

Jiang Ruzhen politely shook hands with Bai Jing, "I feel like there's nothing between us to talk about."

"Your surname is Jiang? As far as I know, your company's general manager's surname is Tang. May I ask what your position is?"

"The designer," Jiang Ruzhen said, leaving the rest unsaid, wanting to know what Bai Jing really wanted to do.

"You're a designer?" Bai Jing's eyes lit up. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Ah—you're the designer of the Treasure Pavilion?" Lu Mingyuan exclaimed and jumped over, grabbing Jiang Ruzhen's hand excitedly.

"So you're a designer! I love your clothes so much! I admire your boundless creativity! How do you come up with so many beautiful designs?"

Jiang Ruzhen gave a fake laugh and tried to pull her hand back, but before she could succeed, Lu Mingning grabbed her other hand.

Lu Mingning stared at Jiang Ruzhen with excitement, looking her up and down. "My God, I thought the designer of Treasure Pavilion would be very young, but I didn't expect her to be this young."

Little sister, did you just graduate? Your skin is so good! You're so pretty. You look like the dolls I played with when I was little.

How can there be such a beautiful and delicate woman in this world? I think I'm falling in love with you very quickly...

No, what's going on here?

Jiang Ruzhen's usually calm and composed expression cracked slightly. Were these two sisters-in-law a little out of their minds? How could they be so enthusiastic and unreserved on the very first meeting?

She was finding it hard to keep up.

Seeing her two daughters behaving this way, Bai Jing rolled her eyes in a very inelegant manner.

Seeing that her two daughters had completely forgotten about the important matter and were only pestering Jiang Ruzhen with questions about skincare and fashion, but not about stealing someone else's boyfriend.

It was up to the veteran to step in: "Comrade Jiang, to tell you the truth, I greatly admire your talent. I wonder if you would be interested in working for Xinhua?"

I can offer you three times your salary, what do you think?

Bai Jing's first move was to lure people with benefits; she simply didn't believe there was anyone in the world who didn't love money.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Ruzhen refused without even blinking, "I don't think it's a good idea. President Tang has been very good to me and even gave me shares in the company. I will never betray President Tang."

Bai Jing immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "I can also give you shares, how about 5%?"

Jiang Ruzhen shook her head.

"8%?" Bai Jing continued to increase her bet.

Jiang Ruzhen remained unmoved, so Bai Jing gritted her teeth and continued to add, "10%. That's the most I can do. This is my limit."

Jiang Ruzhen chuckled lightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "President Bai, the interactions between people in this world are not just about interests."

Mr. Tang has been very kind to me, and even if you gave me the entire Xinhua, I would never betray my benefactor.

Since you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave.

Jiang Ruzhen was too lazy to waste words with this woman. Even though she knew that businessmen were inherently profit-driven, she couldn't agree with it.

While businesspeople may prioritize profit, they still need to have principles in their conduct.

Watching Jiang Ruzhen's resolute departure, Bai Jing rarely showed a look of admiration.

"Mom, it seems this young Jiang is of very good character! He remained unmoved even under heavy bribes. I admire him greatly," Lu Mingning said to Bai Jing.

“Yes, that’s the kind of personality I like in designers. People in the arts hate people who are obsessed with money. Mom, you really shouldn’t insult her with money,” Lu Mingyuan complained, pouting.

Bai Jing withdrew her gaze and glanced at Lu Mingyuan.

"You reek of money? If you're so capable, don't spend my money on clothes, don't spend your husband's money on bags. Throw away all those bottles and jars of cosmetics in the house before you come back to tell me not to insult you with money."

Lu Mingyuan chuckled foolishly and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Bai Jing's arm and shake it.

"Mom, just pretend I didn't say anything, don't hold it against me!"

Bai Jing glared at her, but decided not to argue with her younger daughter. Instead, she turned to her second daughter and said...

"Ning'er, do you really think this girl is quite nice?"

"Yes, look how efficiently she handled things just now. She was both brave and resourceful, quickly and accurately exposing her sister's extortion. Moreover, she remained calm and composed even when faced with enormous temptation."

I think she's of good character, intelligent, and beautiful; she looks just like you when you were young, practically a carbon copy of you.

Bai Jing nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke to her two daughters.

Do you think she and Zheng'er are a good match?
