Chapter 233 Coming to Find Trouble
"Girl, Xinhua called me again today, saying they want to buy our factory. How can they be so shameless? I've refused so many times."
Jiang Ruzhen was drawing design drafts in her office when Tang Mi pushed open the door and entered, complaining.
Seeing that Jiang Ruzhen didn't say anything, she leaned closer and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the painting in Jiang Ruzhen's hand.
"Oh my god, what a beautiful dress!"
Jiang Ruzhen is currently painting a white princess dress that was popular for a period of time in the future, with a petal-shaped neckline, a smooth and silky upper body, and an outer layer of lace.
The sleeves and skirt are all made of mesh, especially the skirt, which is made of layers of mesh stacked up, making it fluffy and making the waist of the dress appear even more slender.
"Is this the latest season's main style? Girl, I want a dress like this too." Tang Mi's mouth watered with envy.
"Yes, that's right. The theme for the next season is 'Fragrant Veil Dance,' Sister Tang, what do you think?"
"This is so romantic, girl! You're a genius designer. This dress is beautiful, and the theme name makes it feel like you're in a dream. Once it's released, it'll definitely be even more popular than it is now."
"How can you be so talented? Are you incredibly gifted? If those people at Xinhua knew you were one of our company's designers, wouldn't they try to poach you with a huge offer?"
Tang Mi praised her, but Jiang Ruzhen dared not take credit. She believed that her courage to try things others dared not do was entirely due to her vision and knowledge of the future.
However, thinking about Xinhua's recent relentless pressure, her face darkened.
Lu Mingzheng's mother is really stubborn and petty; she wants to nip their fledgling company in the bud.
That really aligns with the profit-seeking nature of businessmen.
"Don't worry about Xinhua. We'll just follow our own path step by step. It's just that Sister Tang has been working hard lately. Besides dealing with them, she also has to strengthen quality supervision in the factory. We can't let anyone find any fault with us."
Tang Mi nodded, "Don't worry, sister, I know the stakes. I've been in the clothing industry for decades, and I know all the competitive tactics in the business world."
However, my situation is relatively easy to handle. My concern is that if Mr. Bai sees that the factory acquisition fails, he might target you. What do you plan to do when you and your mother-in-law meet then?
Tang Mi has been spending a lot of time with Jiang Ruzhen lately, and she has heard about the conflict between the two from her.
She was very worried about Jiang Ruzhen, even though her sister seemed indifferent on the surface, saying that she and Lu Mingzheng could continue to get along so casually.
But she knew that Jiang Ruzhen was actually somewhat bothered by it.
These concerns stem from genuine feelings for Lu Mingzheng, as well as heartache and pity for that man.
"I don't have any plans. We'll deal with whatever comes our way!" Jiang Ruzhen answered truthfully.
She really didn't have any good methods, so she simply stopped thinking about those problems and focused on improving herself.
Those people look down on her, right? Then she'll elevate herself to a level they can't reach, and when she looks back at the Lu family, she can completely change her perspective and look down on them.
"Alright then, when do you plan to release this 'Fragrant Gauze Dance' outfit?"
"One week later."
"Huh? No way! You're working so hard? Girl, you need to take care of yourself. Did you stay up all night again last night? You have dark circles under your eyes."
Jiang Ruzhen smiled. She knew that Tang Mi was worried about her. She knew her own condition. After being transformed by the spiritual spring water for a long time, her body could withstand a week of hardship without any problems.
Tang Mi's exaggerated words were actually a reminder for her to take good care of herself.
"I know, Sister Tang. Don't worry, I'll take a break for a while after this series is released."
After calming Tang Mi down, Jiang Ruzhen continued with her work.
Around noon, her assistant rushed over to find her.
"Sister Jiang, there's some trouble at the store. President Tang is in a meeting in the workshop and can't get away. He wants you to go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen got up and stretched her arms and legs. "I know. I'll be right there."
I was feeling hungry, so I went for a walk, grabbed a bite to eat, and came back to continue.
Jiang Ruzhen put all the design drafts into the space before taking a taxi straight to the city center.
Their largest store is located next to several department stores, and it has a particularly large daily customer flow.
As soon as she entered, she saw a group of people gathered together, and there were sounds of arguing inside.
Jiang Ruzhen calmly walked to the outside and listened for a while.
"You're still trying to argue? My clothes came undone after I only wore them for a short while. It's because your clothing quality is substandard, and you must compensate me three times the amount."
"Exactly, if clothes that cost several hundred yuan fall apart after just one wear, who would dare to buy clothes from your store?"
Two voices rang out one after the other. Jiang Ruzhen was momentarily dazed, feeling that the voices sounded so familiar.
"Excuse me, customer, could you please change your clothes so our tailor can take a look? If it is indeed our problem, we will take responsibility for repairing it."
The store manager spoke calmly and slowly, with a smile always on his face.
But the two women clearly weren't going to let the matter drop. "What repair? Are repaired clothes still new clothes? I demand compensation, or I'll have your general manager come over and apologize in person."
"I'm sorry, customer! We can't offer compensation until the cause of the damage is determined. Don't worry, we will inspect the clothing according to our procedures, and if it's a problem with our brand, we will definitely take full responsibility."
The store manager's voice remained calm and composed throughout, which earned frequent nods of approval from the other customers in the store.
Some regular customers could tell that the two women were there to cause trouble; otherwise, why would they be so focused on demanding compensation or a meeting with the person in charge?
The waiter had asked them to check their clothes several times, but they just wouldn't take them off and kept looking around furtively.
In other words, the staff at the Treasure Pavilion were very polite. If it were staff at a department store, they would have already called security to throw those two women out.
"Why are you even checking if your clothes are defective? Hurry up and pay me back."
"This is truly eye-opening. Is your manager hiding something? Why haven't you shown up for so long? Are you hiding something?"
As Jiang Ruzhen listened from behind, she felt that the two people's voices were more and more familiar. She pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. When she saw their faces clearly, her heart skipped a beat.
The two women looked so much like Lu Mingzheng that she immediately realized they must be Lu Mingzheng's two older sisters.
But why did these two specifically come to her shop to cause trouble?
Did they find out that the Treasure Pavilion was her property?
She was now very curious about what the two of them wanted to do.
"Ahem..." Jiang Ruzhen coughed lightly twice. "Distinguished guests, are you looking for me?"
Lu Mingning and Lu Mingyuan turned around upon hearing the sound, intending to arrogantly teach Jiang Ruzhen a lesson, but they both fell silent when they saw Jiang Ruzhen's face.
Jiang Ruzhen raised an eyebrow. It seemed she recognized her; this person was deliberately trying to cause trouble.
She stepped forward and unceremoniously grabbed Lu Mingyuan's arm, lifting it up to examine carefully the so-called "opening line" location.
"Dear guest, the yarn we use to make our clothes is polyester yarn, which has high strength and abrasion resistance. Even after multiple washes and wears, it can still maintain a good condition."
Even a grown man would need a lot of strength to pull this thread apart, and would likely cut his hand. The end of your thread is cut cleanly and neatly, clearly indicating it was cut with scissors.
You don't seem like you're here to extort money; you seem more like you're here to cause trouble. Why don't we go to the police station together and let the officers investigate what you're really trying to do?"
Jiang Ruzhen, with a cold and stern expression, grabbed Lu Mingyuan and pulled her outside.
