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...
“That’s right, those design drafts are indeed very valuable. In fact, the day after you gave them to me, I had already found out their value. At that time, there were even people who wanted to pay for these design drafts, but I didn’t give them to them.”
When Xu Xinchen heard Chen Ningsheng say that the design draft was indeed very valuable, she was immediately delighted. However, when she heard Chen Ningsheng say that he did not sell the design draft to those who were willing to pay, she was immediately confused and asked, "Why?"
Chen Ningsheng pursed his lips, his smile particularly evident: "Your batch of design drafts is particularly innovative, and that person is a well-known old fox in the industry. The design he's willing to spend a lot of money to buy will definitely make him a fortune once it's completed."
The reason he didn't cooperate with that old fox was not only because he felt he could find a way to increase their profits, but also because he wanted to trick that old fox. Just thinking about how that old fox might be heartbroken for days over this batch of design drafts made Chen Ningsheng feel very happy.
Xu Xinchen wasn't very familiar with Chen Ningsheng's business dealings. Seeing Chen Ningsheng's smug smile after talking about that old fox, she couldn't help but poke Chen Ningsheng's stomach and curiously asked, "What's going on? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Chen Ningsheng coughed and quietly explained his so-called grudge to Xu Xinchen. When Chen Ningsheng first started his business, there was always a group of people who, relying on their status as industry leaders and seniors, looked down on young people like them who were figuring things out on their own.
They were seen as a group of delicate flowers that could not withstand the test of time. During that period, because of these industry bigwigs who looked down on them, almost no one was willing to cooperate with them.
Among them, the old fox was the one Chen Ningsheng disliked the most. It wasn't because the old fox humiliated Chen Ningsheng and his group, or anything like that. In fact, the old fox treated Chen Ningsheng and his group very well.
But no matter how good his attitude was, whenever Chen Ningsheng and his group brought up the topic of cooperation, the old fox would always come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid it. At that time, Chen Ningsheng was just a young man who had just entered society.
Even if he has a good heart, being constantly manipulated like this will naturally breed resentment. No one can be pleasant to someone who gives them endless hope but then throws them into despair at any moment.
This situation only improved after Chen Ningsheng and his team actually closed their first deal and built up their reputation. Once their reputation was established, the old fox took the initiative to approach them.
With the mindset of "even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms," Chen Ningsheng and his group didn't argue with the old fox too much. The two sides even cooperated quite well. However, Chen Ningsheng wouldn't let go of an opportunity to retaliate like this. He was determined to give that old fox a good beating.
From being bullied and oppressed by these people back then to now being able to bully others, Chen Ningsheng and his group have put in a lot of effort. Therefore, they naturally don't have a good impression of those who used to make things difficult for them.
As Chen Ningsheng spoke, he reached out and flicked Xu Xinchen's nose: "In order to make that old fox feel sorry for me for ten or eight days, and also to make sure my baby doesn't suffer any losses, I've chosen to keep him in my hands for a while."
Xu Xinchen had a bright smile on her face. She hadn't expected Chen Ningsheng to have such a childish side. Even though he couldn't do anything to hurt her, he still wanted to make her angry for ten days or so.
In some ways, he is quite similar to the person in the company, but that person would deliberately provoke others for no reason, while Chen Ningsheng is seeking revenge for his past self.
Perhaps because she had discovered Chen Ningsheng's childlike side, Xu Xinchen was in a great mood. She nudged Chen Ningsheng's shoulder and said to him, "Then I'll give you all of this batch of design drafts. You can do whatever you want with them. Just let me know when the results are out."
Chen Ningsheng was stunned when he heard Xu Xinchen's words, and asked her with a surprised look, "Aren't you going to get involved yourself?"
Xu Xinchen spread her hands innocently: "All I know is how to draw blueprints, I don't know anything else, so there's no point in me getting involved."
Xu Xinchen was telling the truth. These blueprints were designed because she was a female celebrity in her previous life, which gave her a wide range of experiences and a deep memory.
When it comes to her understanding of the jewelry industry, aside from knowing that she can perform better when sponsors are willing to sponsor her, she knows nothing else.
Therefore, involving her in the business was useless; aside from making minor corrections to the design drafts, she couldn't help in any other way.
In addition, she also believed that Chen Ningsheng could handle this batch of design drafts well, maximize their interests, and not embezzle her things. Xu Xinchen was very confident in this.
However, Xu Xinchen's appearance had a different meaning in Chen Ningsheng's eyes.
By doing this, Xu Xinchen is essentially handing over all her assets to him.
This is something only someone who trusts themselves completely can do, and Xu Xinchen is doing this… Chen Ningsheng looked at Xu Xinchen with a quiet gaze and sighed softly, “Baby, I really give up on you.”
Xu Xinchen was taken aback, blinked, and looked at Chen Ningsheng with a puzzled expression: "What are you talking about?"
Chen Ningsheng stared at Xu Xinchen for a few seconds, then sighed again. Xu Xinchen frowned, unable to understand why Chen Ningsheng had suddenly changed like this, and could only nudge him: "What's wrong?"
Chen Ningsheng stood up and strode towards the study, saying, "Wait for me here." He then quickened his pace, leaving Xu Xinchen staring at his retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
When Chen Ningsheng came out again, he was holding a box. Seeing Xu Xinchen sitting obediently on the sofa watching TV, Chen Ningsheng walked towards her with a smile on his face.
The box in Chen Ningsheng's hand was very conspicuous, so Xu Xinchen caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye as soon as he came out. However, she did not make any move. She was very curious to see what Chen Ningsheng was planning to do.
