Chapter 98 The New Divorce Agreement
Luo Zhongshi was actually too lazy to pay attention to Chu Qingxue, but since Chu Qingxue took the initiative to ask, he decided to speak frankly.
“That day, I commented on your and Jiang Ning’s designs separately. You should have known that I had mixed up your two designs, but you accepted the preferential treatment that should have belonged to Jiang Ning without any qualms.”
"I……"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Chu Qingxue was speechless.
“If you truly want to apologize and make amends, you should apologize to Jiang Ning, not to me.”
"..."
"Young people, you can't get far by taking shortcuts and speculation."
After being lectured by Luo Zhongshi, Chu Qingxue rolled her eyes inwardly.
The person who made the design mistake was Luo Zhongshi, not her. Why should she be blamed?
Chu Qingxue was indignant, and then she saw Jiang Ning hand a piece of jewelry to Chairman Geng Li.
It was a hairpin.
This pure gold hairpin, without any inlay, employs a variety of techniques including ancient methods, wire drawing, filigree, and enamel, making it an exceptionally exquisite piece.
This hairpin is the piece that Jiang Ning completed but did not submit.
"Because I found out online that Chairman Geng and his wife had a Chinese-style wedding, I guessed that his wife might prefer Chinese-style jewelry, so I chose pure gold. The style of the hairpin is a replica of the place where Chairman Geng proposed to her back then - the Yuemingdong Summer Resort."
Geng Li put the hairpin back into the box and thanked her with a smile.
"President Geng... what do you think of my design?"
Jiang Ning asked cautiously.
She had initially thought that her creativity and craftsmanship would amaze Geng Li.
As a result, Geng Li's reaction was lukewarm, which made Jiang Ning uneasy.
"If it were before, I would have been absolutely astonished and amazed to see this... but now..."
Geng Li shrugged and smiled, "That was just your normal performance."
Jiang Ning was full of questions.
She didn't quite understand what Geng Li was saying!
Geng Li didn't expect Jiang Ning to understand either.
In his eyes, Jiang Ning is not just Jiang Ning now, but also the mysterious and influential design master BYC.
However, since Jiang Ning didn't like to draw attention to himself, he simply pretended not to know anything about it.
After talking with Geng Li, Jiang Ning turned around and came face to face with Chu Qingxue.
She could tell that Chu Qingxue had come specifically to find her.
"You looked great tonight, didn't you?"
Chu Qingxue's first words were just that.
Jiang Ning saw Chu Qingxue with her arms crossed, looking like she was up to no good, a stark contrast to when Lu Junyan was by her side.
Jiang Ning smiled gently.
"It could be even more glamorous."
"you!"
Chu Qingxue almost bit her tongue.
Jiang Ning's confidence suggests that she already knows that Luo Zhongshi had confused their designs.
In other words, Jiangning won from the very beginning.
Chu Qingxue bit her lower lip, and the anger on her face turned into a smile.
"I came to see you just to tell you... Junyan told me a couple of days ago..."
Chu Qingxue deliberately spoke slowly, observing Jiang Ning's reaction as she spoke.
Although Jiang Ning didn't say anything, his eyes were clearly drawn to her words.
Chu Qingxue knew that the one who could strike Jiang Ning the hardest was always Lu Junyan.
"Junyan said he's going to give me a proper status."
This statement did not surprise Jiang Ning much.
She and Lu Junyan are getting a divorce.
This time, it's really almost over. It could be a few months at most, or as soon as a few days.
Chu Qingxue is both Lu Junyan's first love and his true love. Now, she and Lu Junyan are inseparable.
Lu Junyan's refusal to give Chu Qingxue a formal title surprised her.
Even though it was something that was expected and taken for granted, Jiang Ning still couldn't remain unmoved when he actually heard it from Chu Qingxue's mouth.
On the surface, she appears indifferent.
But my heart still aches.
However, it doesn't hurt as much as it did at the beginning.
Jiang Ning sees this as a good thing.
"Congratulations," Jiang Ning said.
Chu Qingxue sneered, "Hypocrite."
After the banquet, Jiang Ning returned home and, after much hesitation, sent Lu Junyan a WeChat message:
Lu Junyan, how's the new divorce agreement coming along?
Lu Junyan was having an all-night international video conference with the United States.
He glanced at his phone.
Previously, Jiang Ning rarely sent him WeChat messages or made phone calls while he was working.
Occasionally, when there were urgent or important matters, she would contact him, but he would always hang up the phone decisively.
Jiang Ning didn't dare to bother him anymore.
"Mr. Lu..."
Seeing that Lu Junyan was distracted, Xiao Zhang whispered a reminder to him from the side.
Lu Junyan glanced at his business partner projected on the big screen and said in fluent English:
"Your data is wrong, it should be 29.67344 billion... Why don't you recalculate it? I'll wait for you."
After speaking, Lu Junyan stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Xiao Zhang noticed that Lu Junyan had taken away the phone that had been on the conference table.
Outside the conference room.
Lu Junyan went to the tea room, drinking coffee while fiddling with his phone.
In the old houses on Sanhu Street.
Jiang Ning was lying in bed, almost asleep.
Just then, she vaguely heard her phone ring once, and her drowsiness lessened a bit.
Picking up her phone, Jiang Ning discovered that it was Lu Junyan who had replied to her WeChat message.
At this time, she thought Lu Junyan wouldn't reply.
Lu Junyan: I need to report the progress of the divorce agreement to you at any time, right?
The tone of those words made Jiang Ning wonder if she had angered Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning: That's not what I meant, I was just a little anxious.
After sending the WeChat message, Jiang Ning waited a long time before receiving a reply from Lu Junyan:
The divorce is inevitable, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Who's pressuring you? Is it Pete, Yuan Pei, or Ning Junzhe?
Jiang Ning frowned as he read the string of names that followed.
Jiang Ning: Don't make it sound like I'm the one who cheated. Aren't you the one who's anxious, trying to give Chu Qingxue a proper status?
In the break room of the Lu Group.
Lu Junyan finished cup after cup of coffee, but his WeChat conversation was far from over.
Did Chu Qingxue tell you that?
right.
Jiang Ning replied quickly, and Lu Junyan's charming smile curved slightly.
Next time you're jealous, just say so directly. You don't need to beat around the bush like this. Besides, I'm in a meeting, don't waste my time.
When Jiang Ning received Lu Junyan's reply, she was so angry that she almost blocked Lu Junyan.
She cursed at Lu Junyan, but Lu Junyan didn't reply.
Everyone in the conference room had been waiting for twenty minutes.
Recalculating the erroneous data shouldn't take that long.
Lu Junyan finally returned and put his phone back on the table.
Xiao Zhang, who was standing next to Lu Junyan, observed him quietly and felt that Lu Junyan seemed to be in a better mood.
Jiang Ning didn't sleep well last night, and woke up with big dark circles under her eyes.
To avoid looking too haggard, she spent two hours carefully applying makeup and chose a stylish and appropriate suit.
Today, she has an appointment with a very important person for dinner to discuss business, so she can't afford to be careless about her appearance.
