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...
After talking for a long time on the phone, Chen Ningsheng's phone rang. He looked at the phone that was vibrating on the table, then frowned and looked at the receiver in his hand.
Helplessly, he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'll call you back in a bit." After saying that, he put down the phone, turned around, picked up his cell phone from the table, and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
A voice that sounded unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar came through the microphone: "Hello, hello, are you Chen Ningsheng?"
Chen Ningsheng frowned slightly. Not many people knew his phone number, but those who did know the number must know who he was. Since they could call him, why would they have such a question?
"Yes, who are you?" Not knowing who the person on the other end of the line was, Chen Ningsheng became more cautious.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, this is Zhao Shi, the one who worked with you before, from Kuangfeng Group." Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's voice, the person on the other end of the phone immediately smiled broadly, and his tone became much more solicitous.
Kuangfeng Group? Chen Ningsheng rubbed his tense face. He did remember this group; they used to be one of their partners. However, due to some issues within the company, their cooperation had to be canceled halfway through.
At that time, in order to overcome their difficulties, the Kuangfeng Group had pleaded with him many times to postpone their compensation payment deadline.
Considering that Kuangfeng Group usually has a good reputation and its actions aren't disgusting, he did give it to them. He just doesn't know why the person in charge of Kuangfeng Group suddenly called him again.
Given the current size of the Kuangfeng Group, it would be absolutely impossible for them to cooperate with him. But if it's for something else, it's unclear what he could possibly have that would make the Kuangfeng Group so interested.
Filled with deep doubt, Chen Ningsheng spoke cautiously: "Oh, it's President Zhao. What can I do for you?"
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's question, Zhao Shi laughed awkwardly, "I just have something I want to talk to President Chen about, but don't worry, President Chen, I'm not here to discuss any cooperation with you."
"Since the last blow, my company, Kuangfeng, has shrunk considerably. I am well aware that I cannot handle such a large order from you."
Upon hearing Zhao Shi's words, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected Zhao Shi to be so interesting: "Then, Mr. Zhao, may I ask why you've come to see me?"
Zhao Shi coughed lightly a few times, lowering his voice considerably: "Well, Mr. Chen, our group has landed a business deal these past few days. While drinking with our partners, I overheard them talking about you. After thinking it over, I decided it would be better to tell you."
"About him?" Chen Ningsheng frowned. What could Zhao Shi care about so much? He even called him specifically to remind him after losing contact for so long.
"What is it? Mr. Zhao, please speak." Chen Ningsheng said to Zhao Shi while pondering what it could be.
Zhao Shi's voice was extremely low, sounding like a mosquito's hum, but it was still audible:
"What my business partner is implying is that someone dislikes you and wants to take action against you..."
As he spoke, Zhao Shi told Chen Ningsheng about the rumors he had overheard at the dinner table. At the end, Zhao Shi specifically instructed Chen Ningsheng, "Mr. Chen, let me tell you, it's not appropriate for me to investigate whether this is true or false."
"However, I think that since he said it like that, it should be quite credible, mainly because what he said matches the information I have. I think you should still be careful."
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he waited for Chen Ningsheng's reply, but he didn't receive one. Several minutes later, he couldn't help but call out softly to Chen Ningsheng, "President Chen? President Chen? Are you still there?"
Chen Ningsheng snapped out of his daze, his eyes already bloodshot with anger. He grabbed a document from the table and slammed it against the wall!
With a loud bang, the plastic folder fell to the ground, cracking in several places, and the documents inside slowly drifted down like snowflakes.
Even Zhao Shi on the other end of the phone was startled by the loud noise: "Oh my god, no, no, no, Mr. Chen, don't be angry. If you get sick from anger at this time, they will really be smug."
As he spoke, Zhao Shi earnestly advised, "President Chen, please don't blame me for being too talkative, but I really think that you should take care of your health, especially at times like this. Otherwise, if you get angry and something happens to you, then there will really be no one to deal with it."
Chen Ningsheng took a deep breath and nodded subconsciously before realizing that Zhao Shi was talking to him about electricity.
Since nodding was visible, he changed his tone to speaking: "I understand, Mr. Zhao. Thank you very much for telling me this news."
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Zhao Shi decided not to bother him any further. Instead, he said to Chen Ningsheng, "There's nothing else to do, Mr. Chen. But you must be careful. This kind of thing should always be treated as the most serious matter."
As he spoke, Zhao Shi gave a wry smile: "My Kuangfeng Group suffered a great loss in this kind of matter before. President Chen, you are a person with both courage and ability. I hope this matter will not have too much impact on you."
Chen Ningsheng nodded solemnly, remembering Zhao Shi's kindness in his heart: "I understand, President Zhao. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
Zhao Shi chuckled, not taking Chen Ningsheng's words seriously. He was no longer qualified to have dinner with Chen Ningsheng. He simply said something to Chen Ningsheng.
"No need for dinner. Mr. Chen already helped me, Zhao Shi, a lot by delaying the compensation for so long. This time, let's consider it my way of repaying Mr. Chen's kindness. Alright, I've said all I need to say, so I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Chen."
After listening to Zhao Shi's words, Chen Ningsheng nodded and waited for several seconds. Seeing that Zhao Shi had not hung up, he had no choice but to hang up the phone himself.
