The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

As usual, Lu Jingshen would watch the morning news for a while and wait for Mrs. Lu to come downstairs to have dinner with him.

After having dinner together, they went out together. Lu Jingshen had a driver to drive him to the company. He wanted Mrs. Lu to ride in the same car with him, but Lin Jiaran chose to drive to the company by herself instead of going with him.

The National Jewelry Design Competition is a competition among domestic jewelry companies. There are individual design entries and team design entries. On the ONLY side, Mo Lan, based on his usual performance, will be participating in the individual awards: Tao Huan, Tian Xinyu and Lin Jiaran.

After Mo Lan read the design draft submitted a few days ago, in the morning, under Mo Lan's guidance, the design draft was almost revised, and the only thing left was the naming.

Lin Jiaran took the manuscript to Mo Lan to discuss the name.

The work is themed on the waking lion and uses enamel in three different colors: red, green and black, with an olivine design.

"Usually the lion dance appears during festivals and holidays. We use the lion dance and the Chinese character for lion to form the Chinese character for lion, which means everything goes well. What do you think of this name, Director Mo?"

"It's obvious at a glance. This name is quite good."

Since cooperating with Lu Jingshen, the new force has been growing day by day.

Recently, Chuxiong heard that there was a big project in Ancheng. If the new force could take over this project, it would only make money and not lose money. However, due to its limited funds and the large project, it needed an investor with greater capabilities to invest in this project.

Today Chu Xiong held a banquet and personally invited Lu Jingshen to attend.

After receiving Chu Xiong's invitation, Lu Jingshen did not refuse as he did before and attended the banquet on time.

At the table, Chu Xiong raised his glass and exchanged a few polite words. Lu Jingshen took a sip of the white wine and asked, "President Chu, do you have anything to say to me?"

"I like Mr. Lu's straightforward personality and his direct way of speaking. Everything I want to say is written here. Mr. Lu might as well take a look." Chu Xiong said as he placed the document in front of him on the rotating glass and gently turned the glass plate.

The document was in front of him. Lu Jingshen reached out and lightly touched the glass, then picked up the document.

Knowing why Chu Xiong was looking for him this time, Lu Jingshen read the document, put it on the table, and turned the document back.

"I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in the above project?"

Lu Jingshen took a sip of white wine before saying, "I have my own standards for investing in the same company, and the investment from new forces has reached my bottom line."

When Chu Xiong heard what Lu Jingshen said, his expression changed slightly and became a little solemn. Lu Jingshen didn't plan to invest in him again.

The project bidding has already begun, and he just needs an investor. Lu Jingshen refused, so where else could he find such a wealthy investor in a short period of time.

As long as this project is launched, he can double his previous losses.

What's more, this project can only make money and not lose money. What he lacks is Lu Jingshen's funds. He doesn't believe that Lu Jingshen will really leave this piece of meat uneaten.

So Chu Xiong said with a smile, "Boss Lu, there is no limit to making money. If we build a factory there, there will be funding from above. We will only make money and not lose money in the future. I can guarantee this."

"I don't have much money to circulate at the moment. Once I invest it, how will I support my family?"

Hearing what Lu Jingshen said, Chu Xiong smiled knowingly. It seemed that Lu Jingshen didn't want to invest. Even if he didn't want to invest, he had plenty of ways to make him invest!

Chu Xiong put another document on the table, turned to Lu Jingshen, and continued to persuade him: "Boss Lu, please help me to keep my seat. How can I let Boss Lu do a loss-making business?"

Lu Jingshen took the document and opened it. When he saw the four bold characters of the gambling agreement, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Chu Xiong, then flipped through the contents of the agreement without changing his expression.

Before he finished reading it, Lu Jingshen did not put the document on the table and handed it back to Chu Xiong as he had done before. Instead, he put it in front of him, looked at Chu Xiong and said, "This investment risk is not low. What is President Chu going to use to offset it?"

"Mr. Lu might as well continue flipping through the pages."

Turn to the last page and note the loss equity mortgage.

"It seems that President Chu is determined to win this project."

"I've staked my entire fortune on this. Now that the risk has been reduced so much, Mr. Lu should be relieved?"

Investing involves risks. The bigger the investment, the greater the risk. Investors will naturally avoid the heavy risks. If appropriate exchange conditions are given, which investor will give up the opportunity to catch a big fish?

Chu Xiong was determined to win this project competition. He was also sure that this project was worth risking his entire fortune on, so Chu Xiong took this agreement specifically to win over Lu Jingshen to be his partner.

Lu Jingshen flipped through the agreement again. The contract was formal and legally binding. Chu Xiong was ready, except for his signature and capital injection.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Jingshen took out a pen from his inner pocket and signed his name.

When watching Lu Jingshen signing, Chu Xiong's face was faintly smiling. With the funds in one hand, he was looking forward to making money in the future, so it was naturally difficult to hide his smile.

After Lu Jingshen signed, Chu Xiong raised his glass to him and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Lu Jingshen pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

The jewelry design competition is held at the International Exhibition Center. The competition process is very simple. All works are placed in display cabinets. The number plates on the display cabinets are the same as the participating designers. Professional judges will score on site.

Each jewelry company has a dedicated position. Mo Lan is well-known in her professional field. She usually serves as a judge in competitions. This time, she cannot participate in the selection because she is serving as a coach.

After Lin Jiaran arrived, she sat next to Mo Lan with Tao Huan and the others.

After Lin Jiaran arrived at the scene first, about ten minutes later, Lu Jingshen walked in slowly.

Not many people recognized Lu Jingshen at the scene. After all, he had never appeared in the jewelry design circle. Since he was too famous in the Ancheng business community, it was inevitable that some people in the same field knew him.

When the president of the exhibition center saw Lu Jingshen appear, he greeted him. There were many people on the scene and he didn't know where ONLY was.

Under the guidance, Lu Jingshen came to PNLY's exclusive location.

As soon as Lu Jingshen sat down, Lin Jiaran immediately glanced at him. Didn’t they agree not to make it public?

Isn't it obvious if he sits here?

There was a sign on the table. Lu Jingshen reached out and took the sign, took a look at it, then rearranged the sign and showed his name to Lin Jiaran.

This position was assigned to him by someone else.

After seeing this, Lin Jiaran said nothing more.

There were still five minutes before the official scoring when Shen Boren arrived. He was already very famous in the jewelry world, and he also had some outstanding and well-known works in the jewelry design industry, so many people at the scene knew him.

Shen Boren was wearing a jet-black custom-made suit today. He walked with a calm and composed pace. Although he was a middle-aged man, he did not have the temperament of a greasy uncle at all. As soon as he appeared, he attracted attention.

When Lin Jiaran saw Shen Boren appear, she didn't even look anywhere else. She just stared at the stage and sat quietly.

At first, Lu Jingshen wondered what was wrong with Mrs. Lu. Why did she suddenly look at him with an annoyed look when he didn't do anything? It wasn't until he saw Shen Boren sitting in the front seat that he realized it had nothing to do with him.

To ensure fair and impartial scoring, the number plates for the finished product display and the designer number plates are shielded. The judges do not know who the participating designers are or whose designs they are.

Shen Boren came as a judge. There were a lot of people and his seat was at the front. Shen Boren did not see where Lin Jiaran was sitting, let alone whether Lin Jiaran was here today.

The host explains each piece of work, the designer’s work, to the judges, who then give their scores.

"Work No. 59, named "Lion Ruyi", is inspired by the lion dance, which means everything goes well. The jewelry structure can be divided into multiple parts. The materials used are red, green and black enamel, peridot, gold plating and filigree technology."

Most of the previous designs were modern in style, with a wide variety of jewelry and gemstones. Lin Jiaran's design combines modern style with traditional culture, a relatively rare design style. The appearance of this work attracted discussions among the judges present.

After the scoring was completed, No. 59 "Lion and Ruyi" scored the highest and won the gold medal. Tian Xinyu and Tao Huan, who also participated in the individual design competition, also won prizes.

The entry of the ONLY design team was also shortlisted and won the silver award.

There was only one winner of the gold medal, and when the gold medal was announced, there was applause of congratulations at the scene.
