Luo Xi officially received the notice of termination contract sent to her by the Lu Group three days later, and it was issued together with the notice, as well as the N+1 compensation paid to her, no more, no less, exactly two months' salary.

Luo Xi looked at the text message from the bank and didn't say anything, just sent a photo to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran didn't ask much, turned his head and sent the photo to Lu Weinan.

Lu Weinan received the photo from Lu Ran after another search for someone.

She sat in the car, staring blankly at the street scene that passed by one after another outside the window. The street scene in the west of the city is far inferior to that in the east of the city, full of low-rise old and dilapidated neighborhoods, and the people on the streets are all dressed in gray faces, busy running around the streets, and they don't know what they are busy with.

She looked at it for a while, put the baffle down, and asked the driver who drove her expressionlessly: "Are you a native of Jiangcheng?" ”

The driver nodded: "Yes, Lu Dong, I am a local." ”

"In your eyes, what kind of city is Jiangcheng?"

The driver was assigned to her by the Jiangcheng Branch, and he drove her for a few days temporarily, and he couldn't figure out her temper, and he didn't dare to say too much, but he just smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary city, nothing special." If you want to talk about the characteristics, it is probably leaning on the Huajiang River, there are many fresh rivers, and you can see the river view at night. ”

Lu Weinan didn't know what she remembered, and there was a momentary smile on her face, which quickly disappeared. She said in a very light voice: "When I was young, I lived in Jiangcheng for two years, it was too far away, I don't remember many things, I only remember that there are a lot of fish in the Huajiang River, and there are many fishing boats. ”

The driver laughed: "It turns out that Lu Dong has lived in Jiangcheng." In the past, there were many boats on the Huajiang River, but in recent years, fishing has been banned to protect the environment. The fish we eat is all farmed in fish ponds. ”

Lu Weinan let out a faint "um", and after a long while, he spoke: "Since fishing is no longer allowed, what about those fishermen before?" ”

"Who knows. Let's find our own future. When people live in the world, they can always find their own way of living. ”

Lu Weinan smiled and didn't say anything more.

She was originally going to the Jiangcheng branch, but after seeing the photo sent by Lu Ran, she changed her mind.

"Turn around and go here."

She pointed out the new destination to the driver.

The driver hesitated: "However, this shopping mall belongs to the Fu Group." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly."

The driver didn't dare to delay, and immediately drove her to Fu's Mall.

As soon as Lu Weinan walked into the gate of the mall, she was surprised by the scene in front of her.

A fairytale-style cottage was set up in the atrium on the first floor of the mall, which was crowded with young girls who came to shop, some of whom didn't even try on clothes, and asked the clerk to take their numbers and pay and leave.

Even, at the door of the hut, there is a standing sign that reads, "Today's xx model is out of stock, please come back tomorrow".

Lu Weinan got closer and saw the brand name written on the top of the hut: L.x.

It occurred to her almost immediately that this was Loch's own brand.

What's going on?

Didn't Qiao Yuan say that none of the clothes designed by Luo Xi were sold?

"Wei Nan?"

Just as she was wondering, someone called out to her from behind her.

Since taking over the Lu Group, she has come to Jiangcheng a limited number of times, and there are few acquaintances here, and the only few of them all call her Lu Dong.

Who will know her?

Lu Weinan turned her head and looked at the middle-aged beauty of the in front of her, and didn't think who it was for a while?

"Don't you know?"

The other party stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Don't you know?" I, Li Ting, forgot? I still keep the clothes you designed for me. ”

Lu Weinan looked at the other party's face carefully, recognized the other party, and was a little excited for a while: "Li Ting? Is it really you? After so many years, you seem to be ...... ...... as before"

Li Ting interrupted her with a smile: "You just say it directly." I'm fat. It's been almost 20 years since I left the runway, so it's no wonder I'm not fat. ”

Lu Weinan also smiled: "I heard that you are married quite well." ”

Li Ting pouted and smiled: "What's good, it can only be regarded as not worrying about food and clothing." Compared to you, a strong woman, it's a small thing. ”

As she spoke, there was a moment of gloom on her face, and she looked at Lu Weinan with some envy: "Speaking of which, no one has called me by name for a long time." I really envy you, everyone mentions you, or call you by your real name. It's not like me, when people bring it up, they all shout 'Mrs. Chen'. ”

As soon as the topic began, some bad memories were evoked.

Lu Weinan has never been a person who is willing to spend her life in memories. She looked around and changed the subject: "Coming to buy clothes?" I remember you used to like bold and avant-garde designs, but now? Which brand do you prefer? ”

Li Ting then remembered that Lu's Group also opened a shopping mall in Jiangcheng and also had its own clothing brand. She smiled awkwardly and pointed to Lx not far away.

"I've been obsessed with this brand lately, a newly created brand, and it's not very well-known. But I know the designer, I used to work as a clerk in the LA store, and I bought a lot of clothes from her. Later, I don't know why, I quit and left. When I went to the store again, I realized that she was not a clerk at all, she was an intern designer of LA, and the few clothes I asked me to buy were not officially launched by LA, but she changed them herself. ”

Lu Weinan didn't know that Luo Xi had done this kind of thing. Thinking of the rainstorm in Cloud City that day, I saw the appearance of Luo Xiluo's soup chicken, miserable, I didn't expect to do such a bold thing.

She couldn't laugh or cry, and half-jokingly said to Li Ting: "When you were young, you were also a famous supermodel in the country, what big name haute couture didn't wear, and now you were deceived by an intern designer, and after knowing that you were deceived, you deliberately ran over to continue to be fooled, you said you, is your mentality good, or is you old?" ”

Li Ting laughed disappreciatively: "When I was young, I had a high spirit, and I didn't wear clothes that weren't well-known designers." Now that I'm older and have experienced a lot, I know that what suits me is the best. ”

She pointed to the Lx hut, and her face showed a rare amount of admiration: "Don't look down on the rookie designer, although I was for the LA brand at the time, I was deceived by her, but when I went home and wore her clothes a few times, I knew the benefits, the dress she designed was not only good in style, but also comfortable to wear." No, after she left LA, I searched for a long time, and I heard that she had founded her own brand, so I came all the way to grab clothes. ”

As she spoke, she smiled meaningfully from Lu Weinan: "This Lx designer, I look at it, is still a bit like you back then." She just didn't come from a good background, and she was bold in her bones, unwilling to admit defeat, and talented. Do you remember how hard you beat people in the background? ”

To be honest, Lu Weinan doesn't remember much. Although she lived in Jiangcheng for two years, those two years were not good memories for her, and they were experiences she didn't want to talk about again.

But when Li Ting mentioned it, those memories of the past still poured into her mind uncontrollably, and it reminded her of a lot of past events at once.

She smiled, as if she was sighing to Li Ting, and as if she was talking to herself, saying, "At that time, I also created my own clothing brand. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. ”

Li Ting probably knew a little about what happened back then, but it was only a little bit.

She patted Lu Weinan: "You are now the chairman of the majestic Lu Group, much better than being a fashion designer." ”

Lu Weinan also laughed: "Yes, the business failed, and in the end I could only go back to inherit the family business." ”

Li Ting rolled her eyes: "What you said is a bit envious, jealous and hateful." ”

Lu Weinan knew that Lu Ran sent her photos and asked her to come to Fu's mall so that she could see Luoxi's brand Lx.

Her itinerary in Jiangcheng was not busy, so she deliberately waited for Li Ting to finish shopping for clothes, and the two went to find a café nearby to catch up.

"I'll tell you something." Li Ting stirred the coffee and spoke mysteriously.

Lu Weinan knew that she was originally a cheerful person, but she had been a wealthy wife all these years, so she had to restrain her temperament and live with her face on. It's rare to meet an old friend today, and the true nature is revealed.

I didn't think it was strange, and asked her in a light tone: "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm in Lx, I've invested money, I've got shares."

Li Ting lowered her voice, "I used the private money I have saved over the years, and my husband doesn't know." ”

Lu Weinan deliberately teased her and said: "Then you have to be careful, the new brand is risky, be careful that your private money is lost." ”

"No, it won't." Li Ting shook her head firmly, "You are not in Jiangcheng, I don't know the situation." I was willing to invest money because I had bought this designer's clothes and knew that things were good. It was only after I became a shareholder that I learned that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family also participated in the shares. ”

Lu Weinan searched for the surname Jiang among the celebrities in Jiangcheng for a while, and finally got the right number.

Isn't it the daughter of the Jiang family who chases Lu Ran all day long. Although LX is Luo Xi's own brand, she absolutely does not believe that there is no support from Lu Ran behind it.

Just the funds, Loshi can't handle it as an ordinary girl.

Since Luo Xi is behind Lu Ran, it is normal for Jiang Yiyi to become a shareholder. In her eyes, Jiang Yiyi was originally a rich second generation with only a love brain, and she had no vision for investment at all.

She was a little unimpressed.

But Li Ting said: "In addition to the Jiang family, there is also Lin Yufei of YU, she also participates in the shares, and she is still a major shareholder." ”

She paused and told Lu Weinan: "Count it out, the brand Lx was jointly founded by Lin Yufei and your nephew, and the designer was pushed in the front, and they were the bosses in the back." That's why I said that investing in Lx will definitely make money, and whether I can retire comfortably depends on Lx. ”

Only then did Lu Weinan understand why when Qiao Yuan suggested expelling Luo Xi, Lu Ran did not quarrel or make trouble, and reacted very calmly.

It turned out that the kid had been hiding it from her for a long time and started a new one.

He sent her a picture to lure her over, just to let her see how popular Lx was, to let her know that he was shooting the wrong person, and to let her know that he was shooting the wrong person, which was a small outlet for Loshi.

Lu Weinan thought of the shipping list that Qiao Yuan had shown her, frowned, and deliberately led Li Ting to ask: "To establish a good brand, only good designers are not enough, market channels and source factories are all problems, and if anything goes wrong, it will fall short." ”

Li Ting pursed her lips and smiled, and said proudly: "You and I are still the stupid little model back then." Anyway, I've been Mrs. Kuo for so many years, and I understand all these truths. I have analyzed it all, on the market channel, there are Lin Yufei and Lu Ran, so there is no need to worry about it at all. As for the source factory, Lx has its own garment factory, and it is just west of Jiangcheng City, what else is there to worry about? ”

"West of the city?"

Lu Weinan is looking for people in Jiangcheng these days, and she is especially sensitive to the word "west of the city".

Li Ting nodded, "Yes, the garment factory is in the west of the city, and transportation is not a problem." As you saw just now, Lx's clothes are all out of stock, and thanks to the fact that the garment factory is in Jiangcheng, it will be able to replenish all the goods tomorrow. ”

Jiangcheng, west of the city, garment factory......

Something, like scattered beads, crossed Lu Weinan's mind one by one.

But it was never threaded.

In the evening, she called Lu Ran.

Inform him: "In two days, I will hold a celebration banquet in Jiangcheng." Come, both you and your Lohi. ”
