21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
"It's nothing." Chen Ningsheng smiled and patted Xu Xinchen's hair. Now that she knew about these things, he would handle them. Xu Xinchen didn't need to get involved.
Seeing that Chen Ningsheng was unwilling to talk, Xu Xinchen didn't ask any more questions. She scratched her hair, handed the design drawings to Chen Ningsheng, and looked at him with a joyful expression: "Ningsheng, what do you think of my design?"
Chen Ningsheng looked down at the paper, which contained the unfinished design drawings that Xu Xinchen had kept in his office. The drawings depicted a set of jewelry that looked incredibly elegant and luxurious.
Chen Ningsheng was born into the Chen family and had seen many pieces of jewelry. However, even the most glamorous set his mother had ever worn was not as beautiful as the one designed by Xu Xinchen.
Chen Ningsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about Xu Xinchen's family background and her two names. He had a very vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it too much and just suppressed the thought in his heart.
"This design is quite nice. How did you come up with it?" Chen Ningsheng casually placed the design paper on the table.
Xu Xinchen gently picked up the design, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. She used to see these jewels all the time in her past life.
Although I won't have many opportunities to come into contact with these things in this life, the memories of my previous life are firmly imprinted in my mind, so I can draw them with ease.
Lost in her own thoughts, Xu Xinchen didn't notice Chen Ningsheng beside her looking at her with an extremely complex expression.
God looked her over.
After reminiscing about her past life, Xu Xinchen ignored Chen Ningsheng's question and looked at him excitedly, saying, "How much money do you think I could make if I made all of these and sold them?"
When Chen Ningsheng saw that Xu Xinchen was unwilling to tell him the truth, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He picked up the blueprints designed by Xu Xingchen again and began to study them carefully.
Xu Xinchen's designs were particularly innovative. Not only on his mother's side, but even on other wealthy women, he had rarely seen jewelry designed like this. Therefore, Chen Ningsheng was not sure about the price of these pieces.
However, he was certain that the price for these items would definitely not be low. After pondering for a long time, Chen Ningsheng said to Xu Xinchen, "Leave these drawings with me, and I'll ask around for you later."
Xu Xinchen nodded. She was very clear about these prices in her time, but this era was different from hers. So it was better to have Chen Ningsheng ask for her than to fumble around in confusion.
Having resolved a major concern, Xu Xinchen stood up and stretched, saying, "I wonder how much these blueprints I'll be able to sell for once they're made."
Xu Xinchen sighed softly, realizing she was still hoping to use the money from selling these items as capital for her own startup. Indeed, she wanted to start her own business and stand by Chen Ningsheng's side; she couldn't afford to spend her entire life on a fixed salary from a single company.
In this way, she has no way to integrate into Chen Ningsheng's life. Only by becoming strong can she gain the approval of Chen Ningsheng's family.
Her current job is just to raise her startup fund and learn how to deal with various clients. After all, she wants to start her own business, but she has no experience, so learning is the most important thing for her right now.
Chen Ningsheng chuckled softly, looking at Xu Xinchen with a meaningful gaze: "I never imagined my baby could design jewelry like this. Just how many sides of you are there that I don't know about?"
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's question, Xu Xinchen froze for a moment, then laughed it off, saying, "Well, no, it's just that I've watched a lot of videos, so I naturally learned it. I guess I'm just naturally gifted."
Xu Xinchen wasn't planning to explain her situation to Chen Ningsheng yet, so she could only make up an excuse to try and get away with it. Chen Ningsheng nodded, seemingly relieved, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
Xu Xinchen didn't care what Chen Ningsheng was thinking. She felt that it wasn't the right time to talk to Chen Ningsheng about her own affairs. So, after putting down such a big worry as the design drawings, Xu Xinchen quickly felt tired.
After hastily cooking a simple meal and washing up, Xu Xinchen fell asleep, leaving Chen Ningsheng alone. Chen Ningsheng sat at the table, deep in thought, holding the blueprints Xu Xinchen had given him.
After a long while, Chen Ningsheng finally moved, went into the study, and tucked the design drawings into his files, planning to find time the next day to ask someone about the value of this batch of drawings designed by Xu Xinchen.
As for Xu Xinchen's identity, Chen Ningsheng's lips curled into a smile, and he lowered his head slightly, whispering, "No matter who you are, you are mine now."
Back in the room, Chen Ningsheng looked at Xu Xinchen lying on the bed, fast asleep, and a smile appeared on his lips.
With a smile, he stepped forward, hugged Xu Xinchen tightly, pressed his back against hers, and drifted off to sleep with her.
Xu Xinchen was completely unaware of Chen Ningsheng's dilemma. After a good night's sleep, Xu Xinchen was full of energy. She packed her things and went to the new company to report for duty.
The person who led Xu Xinchen to their sales department was the company's sales manager, a woman who was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old and named Wu Jiayi. She looked at Xu Xinchen's face and smiled, "Lu Minshi, is that right? Come with me, I'll take you to the office to meet your new colleagues."
Xu Xinchen nodded hurriedly and followed behind Wu Jiayi, her eyes constantly scanning the company's environment. Although she had seen it when she came in for the last interview.
I only glanced at them briefly and didn't really take a good look at them. Today, I finally started working at this company, and only then did I have the time to look around the company environment.
This company is not large, at least not compared to Chen Ningsheng's company. However, according to Chen Ningsheng, its size is considered quite good compared to other companies.
Wu Jiayi led her to the sales department. Inside the sales department, almost everyone was a man, with only two women mixed in.
