392 Are You Guys Even Worthy?
Upon hearing this, Chu Cichen and Matriarch Chu exchanged a glance. Both of them didn’t understand what was going on.
However, Chu Cichen sharply detected that this matter must have something to do with Shen Ruojing, so he pushed the door open with no hesitation!
In the room.
When the butler heard the brand manager’s words, she frowned. She then glanced at Shen Ruojing who was standing a distance away before she replied, “I… I have to check with my matriarch first.”
An indiscernible frown then creased Shen Ruojing’s brows.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Chu Cichen strode in with large steps. His gaze immediately landed on Shen Ruojing’s face.
She looked the same as how she would be usually, looking very out of place in a crowd.
In truth, she merely had a cold exterior, but she had a warm heart.
So, everyone at home was already used to her cold and lazy demeanor.
However, Chu Cichen could sense traces of unhappiness from the faint creasing of her brows.
Upon seeing this, his heart sank and he turned to ask the butler without hesitation, “What matter do you need to consult the matriarch for?”
His tall figure was like a small mountain and caused the tension in the room to instantly build up. His phoenix eyes contained a sharpness that caused the butler’s heart to pound involuntarily. “It is a matter about the clothing brands…”
Before she could finish, Chu Cichen interrupted, “Everything shall be as what Jingjing dictates.”
The butler started slightly, but she didn’t dare to show any hesitation and directly agreed, “Yes.”
After saying that, she looked at the brand manager of ‘Lada’ and said, “You guys can leave now.”
The brand manager frowned, looking at Shen Ruojing before glancing at Chu Cichen. She then took a step forward and laughed. “Mr. Chu, I think you don’t understand what happened here.”
Chu Cichen glanced at Shen Ruojing once more.
The woman still stood there, but there was a faint sense of distance that was being projected from her.
This made him realize that Shen Ruojing was very angry at this moment.
He looked at the brand manager. “Oh, what happened?”
The brand manager of ‘Lada’ replied, “Things are like this. Madam Shen chose our clothes, but she isn’t qualified to be our member. Hence, I wanted Madam Bai to become our member so she can help Madam Shen to purchase our clothes. However, Madam Shen seems a little angry…”
The brand manager casually used the term ‘member’ to avoid revealing those insulting insinuations she had made earlier.
However, Chu Cichen himself was a scheming expert, and he instantly understood something. “Why can’t she be a member of your brand?”
The brand manager instantly found an excuse. “Oh, in the capital, our brand only allows people from the four great families to be our members. For anyone else, they would require three existing members to vouch for them before they can join us…”
Chu Cichen understood now.
So it was because the brand manager felt that Shen Ruojing wasn’t someone from the four great families, so she wanted to bully her?
The brand manager smiled. “Our brand is very welcomed by the influential families in the capital. All of them would feel honored to wear our clothing, and we are also very willing to be of service to Madam Bai and Madam Shen. By doing so, no rumors would spread…Mr. Chu, what do you think? Since Madam Shen is fond of this dress, why don’t you help her and Madam Bai purchase it?”
The trap in her words was concealed carefully, but what sort of person was Chu Cichen?
He was a legend that founded and ran a business empire overseas by himself!
How could he not be able to hear the trap in the words?
Normally, he wouldn’t care about such minor matters, but since this matter concerned Shen Ruojing, he listened to it more seriously than when he chaired an international meeting.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Do you feel like Madam Shen cannot join as a member?”
The brand manager smiled. “That is correct. Her status and demeanor aren’t a match for our brand’s concept. However, this wouldn’t impede her from purchasing our clothes. As long as Madam Bai joins us as a member and purchases an article of clothing from us, it would be solved. Although our brand’s clothes are more expensive, I’m sure Mr. Chu wouldn’t care for this little bit of money, right?”
After the brand manager finished saying this, her lips curled slightly.
His words made it so that no man could reject it.
It was like if Chu Cichen rejected it, it would mean that he couldn’t afford it…
But what was the Chu Family?
How could they not be able to afford it?
When the brand manager felt that this business deal was secured for sure, she suddenly saw Chu Cichen’s countenance turning cold. In an instant, it seemed as though she had been plunged into an icy river.
After that, she heard Chu Cichen’s voice. “You actually look down on my Madam Shen? Are you guys from ‘Lada’ even worthy?!”
As he said that, he looked at the butler and spoke in a severe tone, “Why are you not chasing out such a brand immediately?”
Upon hearing this, the butler was so afraid that she took action immediately. She swiftly ran to the door and shouted, “Guards, guards!”
The brand manager was stunned as well, not expecting Chu Cichen to act like this.
Only when the security guards of the Chu Family had rushed in and violently chased them out did the brand manager finally understand that she had rammed her toes into a board of steel today!
She looked at Shen Ruojing and spoke in rage, “Mr. Chu, are you sure you want to offend us, ‘Lada’, for a woman of such status?”
Chu Cichen lowered his eyelids. “Nope.”
The brand manager relaxed, but in the next instant, she heard Chu Cichen continuing, “It is Lada who has offended me. In the future, all cooperation between Lada and the Chu Corporation shall be terminated!”
The brand manager sneered.
What cooperation did their brand have with the Chu Corporation?
Wasn’t it simply a purchase of two articles of clothing?
They could simply choose not to earn this money from the Chu Family!
When Lada’s brand manager was escorted away by the guards, she suddenly turned her head and laughed coldly. “Lada is a brand from Y Country, and our position in the fashion world is unshakable. For all the other brands, please think through carefully. Those who are rejected by us will never be accepted by the fashion circle. If you want to design clothes for a country bumpkin like her, you guys will only become the joke of our industry!”
This was clearly a naked threat!
However, the other big brands in the room actually hesitated.
Lada’s status in the fashion world was at the top, and most of these other brands didn’t really dare to offend them. As for the other brands that were equal to Lada, they also didn’t want to accept someone Lada had rejected as it would demean their status!
Hence, everyone subconsciously took a step back.
The Lada brand manager sneered and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Do you see it? If you reject Lada, the other brands will also boycott you. No other brands will be willing to make clothes for you!”
Shen Ruojing glanced at the other brands, but all of them lowered their heads upon meeting her gaze.
She felt somewhat disappointed.
Was bullying conducted so openly in the fashion industry nowadays?
