Chapter 631 A New Beginning in My Career
Seeing the subtle change in her expression, Li Tingxi's expression shifted. "I just don't want to see you make that face, so I'm now thinking of turning over a new leaf."
“Yangyang’s words are rough but his reasoning is sound. Now I have to be a good husband and a good father, and I can’t do things as I used to, just because I feel like it.”
His eyes flashed, and he said deeply, "I didn't believe in these things before, but now I want to do some good for you and the children, to avoid getting involved in bloodshed..."
Less bloodshed does not equate to leniency.
He would report back on everything that needed to be done, but if someone else could do it for him, he didn't need to rush to show off.
Over the years, Li Qidong has done just as much as Yan Siyue in his guise of him, and Yan Qinghe probably wants to tear him to pieces even more.
“Li Tingxi, your idea is wonderful, but why do I feel that your eyes are so insincere?” Su Youling joked, then whispered, “Just do what you think is right. My child and I will not be a stumbling block for you.”
Li Tingxi took out a new suit. "Help me tie my tie. I haven't received this kind of treatment in many years. When we were together, you would prepare a new suit for me every day and tie my tie yourself."
"Since you left, I've had to take care of all these trivial matters myself..." she said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Su Youling raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you ask your female secretary to help you manage it? Didn't Shen Xiyue prepare anything for you?"
“This is your patent, and no one else has the right to interfere,” Li Tingxi said with a smile. “After you left, I didn’t have a female secretary or assistant by my side. Only Qin He was capable enough to do more work. Karina… Shen Xiyue was also always under Qin He’s guidance until she gained a foothold in the Li family and was then allowed to develop on her own. I won’t keep her by my side.”
That wasn't a lie.
Although Su Youling hadn't specifically investigated, the people around her and the resourceful netizens had already dug up all the details of Li Tingxi and Karina's affairs over the years.
"Go ahead." Su Youling tied his tie for him and saw him to the door. "Go home early tonight to have dinner with the children. I have to go out for a bit."
Li Tingxi paused, "For the new studio? Should we consider it...?"
"No!" Su Youling refused before he could finish speaking. "I want to create my own brand, not rely on anyone, and just be a completely independent studio."
“Okay, you have the ability and the skills, I’m not worried.” Li Tingxi smiled, got into the car and left.
Everything is getting back on track. Once he gets rid of those shady characters, he can start preparing a grand and perfect wedding for Su Su.
This time, he's going to marry her in style and make up for everything he owed her back then...
One month later.
Su Youling and Wen Xi successfully registered a brand new art design studio – Wending Design.
Previously, the design team from Strange Kingdom voluntarily resigned and returned to their home country to dedicate themselves to the work of the new studio, with even greater enthusiasm than before.
Even more gratifying is that, with the help and introduction of Grandpa Lu and Lu Mingxuan, Su Youling benefited from her master's influence and became the youngest member of the National Art Association, playing a crucial role in building momentum and promoting the new studio.
To quickly open up new markets, Su Youling and Wen Xi worked day and night, spending almost all their savings, before finally managing to develop a few routes.

market.
Many clients come from afar, but because Wending Studio focuses on 'high-quality' designs, most people are deterred by the prices.
"How about we lower our prices a bit first to stabilize our customer base?" Wen Xi said hesitantly. "If this continues, we won't be able to pay our employees' salaries in a few months."
Life is not a TV drama. The road to entrepreneurship is fraught with risks. One wrong step and you could end up bankrupt and penniless.
They have funds, resources, and connections, giving them a significant head start. However, the domestic high-end art market is already saturated, making customer acquisition their primary challenge.
“No, we’re currently running a boutique design studio, so we need to define the style from the very beginning. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to find a precise market positioning later.” Su Youling frowned. “A studio is not like a large company like Strange Kingdom, which is backed by capital and can make profits from multiple production chains and sales channels. We must seize our own advantages.”
"What if all the customers get scared away?"
"They just want to be assembly line clients. It's not appropriate for them to come to our studio. They want to get high-quality designs at the assembly line prices of first-tier factories. They're still dreaming. They're just bullying us newcomers."
Su Youling patted Wen Xi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the connections of the Strange Kingdom are overseas, so we don't need them for now. But I also came from China five years ago. Yitao Culture was able to be revived, and our studio started much higher than Yitao Culture back then. How could it possibly fail?"
The phone rang no sooner than I finished speaking.
Su Youling smiled and said, "Look, our big client has arrived."
"What, you're finally willing to ask Li Tingxi for help? I knew it, why not take advantage of such a good resource..." Wen Xi glanced at the caller ID and exclaimed in surprise, "President Ding? Didn't you step in to plead for the art exhibition project to continue with Strange Kingdom? What kind of big client is he?"
“Yaosheng Group has been actively developing various intangible cultural heritage projects in recent years, not necessarily for profit, but this general direction can open up channels for cooperation between government and business, and the profits behind it are the greatest. Ding Muyan’s planning is far more far-reaching and profound than what the world can see.”
"As long as we can latch onto this golden thigh, our studio will not only be flooded with orders, but we will also be able to cooperate with the official through Ding Muyan in the future. At that time, our popularity and recognition will be a piece of cake."
Hearing this, Wen Xi's eyes lit up, but she couldn't help but worry, "But such a coveted prize must attract a lot of people who want to curry favor with him. You also said before that Ding Muyan is unpredictable and difficult to deal with. Are you really that confident that you can win him over this time?"
“Back when I was at Li’s Group, Yaosheng Group was my main client, and I had the most dealings with them. Ding Muyan’s first project after returning to China also used my design,” Su Youling said. “Business is business. No matter how difficult or complex the design is, we can’t turn down money in business.”
“That makes sense.” Wen Xi stood up and gestured for her to answer the phone. “However, I think you should report to President Li when you get home.”
"kindness?"
"This Mr. Ding, I don't know why... but I always feel like he treats you quite differently." Wen Xi left with a smile, leaving Su Youling completely bewildered. "Ding Muyan? How could that be?"
Wenxi must be so infatuated with love that she's all pink bubbles around her.
