Chapter 187: What to save
When I saw Lu Xiaochao again, her eyes were swollen, and her former radiant eyes became dim, and the most annoying thing was that I told her to dress formally on the phone, but the person who appeared in my office at this moment was dressed and couldn't laugh or cry.
A black hooded cotton coat wrapped around her slightly thin body, so perfunctory was okay, but what about the pajama pants under the padded coat and the canvas shoes under the pajama pants?
Lu Xiaochao's gaze was unfocused, staring at his toes casually.
"Lu Xiaochao!" I couldn't help but raise my voice.
Just this sentence, just called her name, and her tears fell.
Snorting, she asked me, "What did you call me for?"
"What did I tell you on the phone? I'll let you dress formally, right?" I said angrily, but my heart kept churning with sourness, she was trying to tell the world that Zhang Xingchen was gone, and her Lu Xiaochao's sky would have fallen since then, right?
Lu Xiaochao looked down at himself again, his expression was blank, and he didn't see a trace of surprise.
"You've got to come with me to meet someone. I looked at Lu Xiaochao and said this, but I was sure that she would not agree to me, but I still had luck in my heart, hoping that she would not take away all her enthusiasm for life.
"You see, I'm going to see you at best. A detached smile crossed her lips, and she took two steps back and said, "I'll go back first." β
"Lu Xiaochao!" I called her.
I just called her name, she turned around, there was resentment in her eyes, she looked at me and said, "Don't call me by my name, don't call me Lu Xiaochao." β
"Just because he also calls you Lu Xiaochao?" I asked her with a sneer.
She didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.
"Lu Xiaochao. If you go out with me, I'll tell you about the reason why Zhang Xingchen left. I said.
β¦β¦ Seeing Lu Xiaochao being fiddled with by Yuhan and Ling Mei without saying a word, I couldn't help but have a naΓ―ve thought in my mind: Perhaps, I can use Zhang Xingchen's news to exchange Lu Xiaochao for being by my side for the rest of my life.
At the moment when this idea was born, I even hated the woman in front of me. She just loved another man with all her heart, and she made me so vile.
"Chairman, look, is it okay?" Yuhan asked me with great interest as he pulled Lu Xiaochao up to me.
Wearing a satin ankle-length skirt and a small black blazer, it is rare that Lu Xiaochao's hair with a ponytail on weekdays has also been put down, except for Lu Xiaochao's gloomy face is a little unsightly, in terms of appearance, Lu Xiaochao is a little beautiful today, and there is also some unconsciously nervous temperament.
"Sister Xiaochao. You look so good dressed up!" Yu Han couldn't help but praise happily, and then said another scenic: "You are like this, you will soon be able to find a better Ruyi Langjun than Zhang Xingchen." β
Lu Xiaochao's eyelids drooped, and when he heard Yuhan say this, he just smiled faintly.
I walked over, stretched out my hand to Lu Xiaochao and said, "Let's go." β
I thought that Lu Xiaochao would refuse me as before, but after taking a look at me, she obediently handed me her hand.
I took her right hand. Touching the ring that Zhang Xingchen gave her, I couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaochao. Her gaze was fixed on her own right hand.
"Do you really believe that there really is a bug on this ring?" I brutally shattered her assumptions.
She didn't speak, then gently pulled her right hand away from my palm.
I thought, I can tolerate this, and if I can't bear it, then I'm going to lose too ugly. Zhang Xingchen, who had already captured Lu Xiaochao's heart, could leave her so decisively. Unrequited love, why can't I pretend that I don't care about this girl anymore?
I took Lu Xiaochao to appear at the originally agreed dinner, but there were a few more uninvited guests.
"Mr. Lin, you're here!" The first person to get up and greet me was the same person I had made an appointment with, Lauren.
The few uninvited guests also stood up one after another, and Qiu Yuyao was the first to speak: "It turns out that Luo Lunyue is a distinguished guest." It's Mr. Lin and Miss Lu! What an unexpected surprise!"
"Hello Chairman Qiu. I simply answered.
Lu Xiaochao, who was standing beside me, also said hello briefly.
In addition to Danqi, who came with Qiu Yuyao, Ru Yu and Su Zhe were also there.
"Everyone is here!" I smiled, and then pulled Lu Xiaochao, who was wooden, to sit down.
"That's Mr. Lin. Luo Lun said in some strange Mandarin: "We are very sincere about cooperating with your company, but now we ......" He paused, then looked at the other people seated, shrugged his shoulders, and said to me, "The company hopes that there will be a chance to compete fairly." β
I glanced at Qiu Yuyao, and the corners of her lips were full of generous and decent smiles from beginning to end.
I can understand Ru Yu and Su Zhe appearing here, but what about Qiu Yuyao?
"Chairman Qiu is also interested?" I asked.
Qiu Yuyao showed a warm smile, looked at Luo Lun and said: "That's the case, I have been friends with Luo Lun for many years, and today I just came over as an old friend to catch up, Mr. Lin doesn't have to care." β
Luo Lun followed: "Yes, for the Chinese market, I think it is better to be familiar with Alfalfa. β
"Loren, I'm just here today to catch up. Qiu Yuyao said with a humble face.
Luo Lun smiled, and then said: "Before you came just now, I had already seen the works of Designer Su......" He raised his eyebrows, and said with a satisfied smile on his face: "I want to ......"
"Loren. I interrupted him: "I hope you will make a decision after you have seen the work of our company's designers." β
Loren looked at me puzzled, spread his hands and said, "I think I have fully understood your company's works, after all... We've already had a collaboration once. β
I shook my head: "What I want to introduce to Mr. Loren is the designer next to me." β
"She's not...... Yuhan designer?"
Dan Qi, who was beside Qiu Yuyao, immediately answered: "Her name is Lu Xiaochao, not Yuhan." β
"Really?" Luo Lun looked at Lu Xiaochao, and then said, "That...... Can I take a look at her design first?"
I glanced at Qiu Yuyao and suddenly felt that I was really like a divine help, so I said, "All her designs were bought by your old friend Chairman Qiu for a lot of money. β
"Really?" Luo Lun turned his face to ask Qiu Yuyao.
Qiu Yuyao's face was slightly embarrassed, and he just smiled stiffly. And then he said, "yes." β
"It seems that Designer Lu's design must be outstanding. Loren said with a smile.
Even though all the topics revolve around Lu Xiaochao, but Lu Xiaochao has always been expressionless, she is obviously sitting next to me, but I think, what our group of people said. She didn't hear a word.
"However, I once secretly hid one of her designs out of selfishness, and proposed to her by ordering a ring according to the design,...... "I took out the design and brocade box from my briefcase and handed them to Loren.
Luo Lun took it, looked through the design drawings, and opened the brocade box, just. After opening the brocade box and examining it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly and he shook his head.
"It seems that the works of Lu Da designers can't convince Mr. Luo Lun?" Su Zhe, who was sitting next to Ru Yu, opened his mouth.
I looked intently at Loren, who looked back and forth at the blueprints and the ring as if no one else was around, and the look on his face was one moment admiring, and the other was frowning.
Good for a while. Luo Lun spoke: "It's a pity!"
As soon as his words fell, Su Zhe showed a determined smile. He lowered his voice and said to me, "It seems that you are going to lose to us again." β
I didn't answer, just waited for Loren to speak.
Luo Lun's eyes fell on Lu Xiaochao, I immediately pushed Lu Xiaochao, she came back to her senses and looked at me, only then did she notice that Luo Lun was looking at herself.
"Miss Lu. Can I ask you what inspired you to design this ring?" Luo Lun asked Lu Xiaochao.
Lu Xiaochao looked at me with a puzzled expression, and I said unhurriedly: "The ring I proposed to you is from the May Snow series, 'left and right'." β
Lu Xiaochao obviously had some problems, so I lowered my voice and said, "Just tell the truth." If you want to know, I'll tell you the truth. β
She looked at me and then replied to Loren, "Nothing special, it's just that I've been waiting for someone for seven years, and I'd love to be with him, that's all." β
Loren didn't seem satisfied when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "However, according to your design drawing, the focus of your design is on this diamond, if your design can be cut out of the original, it must be the most brilliant star diamond." β
The corners of Lu Xiaochao's lips tugged at a faint smile, this was the first time I saw her smile since Zhang Xingchen left.
Sure enough, only Zhang Xingchen knew her best.
"I think it's a real pity if Miss Lu's design can't meet a good cutter. Loren sat up straight and said with a hearty smile.
"So, Mr. Loren already has the answer in mind?" I asked with a smile.
Luo Lun nodded, and said to Qiu Yao with a smile: "Alfalfa Yao's vision is really not wrong, Miss Lu's design is really worth your private collection, I was still thinking about it, you have always avoided the jewelry industry, I ......"
Before Luo Lun's words were finished, Qiu Yuyao interrupted him tactfully: "Look at you, you have brought the topic to me again." β
Luo Lun sighed a few times and was about to speak, but Su Zhe spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, the right hand of Designer Lu is already useless, and it is impossible to draw design drawings anymore." He turned his face to me and smiled at me and said, "Chairman Lin, isn't it strange that you brought a former designer who can no longer hold a pen and has been dismissed from your company to such an important occasion?"
Luo Lun immediately looked at Lu Xiaochao with an exaggerated expression as if he was facing a great enemy, and asked her, "Really, Miss Lu, you really can't hold a pen in your hand?"
Before I could defend anything, Lu Xiaochao pinched me in front of me and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Luo Lun, my right hand is indeed useless." She looked at me and said, "I'm really sorry that I lied to Mr. Lin, and he didn't know my condition so he brought me to you." β
After speaking, Lu Xiaochao stood up. (To be continued......)
