70 Falling from Heaven to Hell
Jiangshi City.
“Chen Che, you have to follow me to the hospital for a full checkup today. Otherwise, I’ll be angry!” Lin Xi said with a serious expression.
Chen Che did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m really fine. Uncle accompanied me to the hospital to bandage my wound yesterday.”
“No, if you don’t go, I’ll ignore you!”
Lin Xi snorted and turned around.
“Okay, I’ll go.”
Chen Che agreed helplessly and followed Lin Xi to the hospital for a full checkup.
At the same time, the production team received Fang Weixun and Zheng Hui’s request to drop out of the show.
After such a thing happened, Fang Weixun naturally did not have the face to continue staying. As for Zheng Hui, she knew very well that they would never get first place. Hence, the two of them agreed to drop out voluntarily.
Of course, there was another reason why Fang Weixun was in such a hurry to leave. He wanted to leave Jiangshi City as soon as possible and find a place to hide to prevent Lu Wentian from taking revenge.
Lu Wentian was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He would definitely not let the matter rest.
…
That night at 7.00 pm.
Chen Che returned to the self-service withdrawal hall and realized that the homeless uncle had already left. The luggage was gone, leaving only a letter.
Chen Che opened the letter and saw the flamboyant handwriting. He could not help but recall the time the two of them spent together.
[Chen Che, I’ve already left. Thank you for your company during this period of time. It was your struggle and hard work that moved the self-destructive me.]
[You’re right. A person has to have ambitions. Get up from where you fell. Although I’m old, I have hands and feet. Why don’t I try my best while I can still move!]
[Although I didn’t watch your show with your little girlfriend, I know that you two are very loving. I wish you both happiness!]
[By the way, I haven’t told you. My name is Meng Qiutang. I look forward to seeing you again in the future!]
Chen Che’s eyes could not help but turn red. Uncle’s sudden departure made him a little sad.
“Uncle, I wish you success.”
Chen Che muttered and fell asleep.
…
The next day, at LI Costume Design Company.
Lin Xi sat in the office and sketched. Every time she got down to designing, she would automatically avoid the VJ.
After all, this was a trade secret. Once it was broadcasted live, it would affect the company.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. Han Jiarui pushed the door open and walked in, her face filled with joy.
“Jiarui, why didn’t you tell me that you were back? I’d have picked you up at the airport!” Lin Xi hurriedly stood up to welcome her.
Han Jiarui smiled and said, “You’re so busy. How can I bear to let you pick me up?”
“Let me tell you, I signed two big orders on this business trip. TR and Tian Xin like your designs and bought a few of our designs and want us to put them into production.”
“What’s more, they said that if the production results are good, they are looking for a long-term partnership in the future.”
Han Jiarui was overjoyed. She shared this good news with Lin Xi as soon as she entered.
“Really?” Lin Xi was in disbelief.
“Of course!” Han Jiarui raised her eyebrows and took out the signed contract from her bag.
Lin Xi took the contract and looked at it. She suddenly hugged Han Jiarui.
“Jiarui, you’re amazing!”
The two women hugged each other excitedly. Although they had earned money since they established the company, it was still a small company.
If they could collaborate with big companies overseas, they would quickly make a name for themselves in the fashion industry.
“It just so happens that you’re back today and brought such good news. Why don’t you call the company’s employees and go out to celebrate at noon?”
Just as Lin Xi finished speaking, the landline phone on the table suddenly rang.
“President Lin, the supplier in charge of the latest outfit, Red Blush, suddenly called and said that they wanted to cancel the contract.”
Lin Xi frowned. “What reason?”
“They said that there’s a problem with the dyeing. All the fabric is useless and they can’t supply us anymore. They said that they will pay the penalty according to the contract.”
“Got it.”
Lin Xi hung up the phone with a solemn expression.
The fabric she designed for the new collection was very special. For the time being, only this supplier could make it in the country. Now that the other party suddenly canceled the collaboration, she was caught off guard.
“Jiarui, looks like we can only postpone the release of Red Blush.” Lin Xi sighed helplessly.
As soon as she finished speaking, her assistant, Fang Yuan, knocked on the door and walked in.
“President… President Lin, Chengyuan Department Store called just now to terminate the partnership.”
The office suddenly fell silent. Lin Xi had mixed feelings.
Just a few minutes ago, she was happy because they had signed a contract with an overseas company. Now, she was disappointed because they had two collaborations terminated in a row.
“Zhengyuan Department Store didn’t tell you the reason?” Lin Xi asked.
Fang Yuan frowned and said, “No.”
Seeing that Lin Xi was in a bad mood, Han Jiarui comforted her softly. “It’s okay. We win some, we lose some. We’ve already signed a big contract. It doesn’t matter if we give up two small collaborations.”
...
Lin Xi nodded, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.
In the afternoon, Lin Xi was making calls to contact a new supplier when Fang Yuan suddenly rushed in.
“President Lin, bad news. Hurry up and look at the news online!”
Lin Xi’s heart trembled. She immediately took out her phone. As soon as she unlocked it, she saw a striking notification.
[LI Costume Design Company is suspected of infringement. The new design is highly similar to the Tianxin Fall-Winter Collection!]
When Lin Xi saw this message, her pupils suddenly constricted.
She clicked on the notification with trembling hands and saw two extremely similar design sketches. Even the color was the same.
“Who drew this sketch?” Han Jiarui hurriedly asked.
Lin Xi checked the information on the computer and replied, “Wang Xueli.”
“She’s been in the job for two years. How could she make such a low-level mistake?!”
Han Jiarui frowned and hurriedly instructed, “Fang Yuan, call Wang Xueli over.”
...
“CEO Han, Wang Xueli took leave today,” Fang Yuan replied.
Lin Xi and Han Jiarui looked at each other and understood.
Obviously, Wang Xueli knew in advance that she would be exposed for infringement, so she hid secretly.
At this moment, Han Jiarui’s phone suddenly rang.
After she picked up the call, her expression gradually became solemn.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know this would happen either. Can you give us another chance? We…”
Before Han Jiarui could finish speaking, the other party hung up.
After that, the few contracts that Han Jiarui had painstakingly signed all canceled their partnership. For a moment, the two of them were alone and helpless.
Lin Xi’s mood fell from heaven to hell.
At this moment, Lin Xi’s phone rang. It was Chen Che.
“Lin Xi, let’s go for dinner tonight. The company has given us a voucher again.” Chen Che’s voice was filled with excitement.
How could Lin Xi still be in the mood to eat? She replied listlessly, “Chen Che, I’m very busy with work today and can’t accompany you.”
“That’s okay. We’ll eat another day.”
Chen Che’s tone was gentle. He did not notice that something was wrong with Lin Xi and thought that she was just tired from work.
