Xu Xinchen reached out and grabbed Chen Ningsheng's arm, shaking it forcefully: "Hey, why are you holding such a grudge against me? Can't I just have a slip of the tongue? Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go find something to eat, okay? I've been working all day, I'm starving."
When Chen Ningsheng heard Xu Xinchen say she was hungry, his brows furrowed immediately. He turned to the driver, who had been chuckling in the driver's seat, and said, "Go to my usual restaurant."
The driver's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He then turned the steering wheel and drove towards the restaurant Chen Ningsheng had mentioned. Once the driver had started the car, Chen Ningsheng turned around and looked at Xu Xinchen with a deep gaze: "Didn't you eat properly at the company today?"
Xu Xinchen rubbed her stomach, her tone sounding a little aggrieved: "Of course I ate, but I just joined the company today, and I spent too much time chatting with my new colleagues. In the end, I didn't have enough time to eat, so I could only eat a little bit in a hurry to fill my stomach. It's almost digested by now."
Looking at Xu Xinchen's aggrieved expression, Chen Ningsheng sighed helplessly, reached into his pocket, pulled out a bag of chocolates, and handed it to Xu Xinchen: "There's still a distance to the restaurant, have some of this to tide you over."
Xu Xinchen took the chocolate with a look of astonishment, examining it from all angles. After a long while, she finally realized what it was and said to Chen Ningsheng, "Chocolate? How come you have this on you?"
Chocolate, a sweet snack, seems completely unrelated to Chen Ningsheng, and knowing Chen Ningsheng...
For so long, she had never realized that Chen Ningsheng was actually a chocolate lover.
Chen Ningsheng lowered his head and looked at Xu Xinchen with a deep gaze: "When I went to talk business with the company's partners today, their son forcibly stuffed a bag into my pocket."
Xu's mother was a little embarrassed: "Oh, I see. That's really great." Xu Xinchen said as she tore open the chocolate and put it in her mouth. She really hadn't eaten much at noon, so having some chocolate to fill her stomach was better than nothing.
Chen Ningsheng watched as Xu Xinchen took a bite of the chocolate he had given her before lowering his voice to ask, "Did anything happen at the company today?"
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen paused in her chewing of chocolate for a couple of seconds before continuing to eat: "It's nothing serious, just that there's a colleague who's rather annoying. But don't worry, I've already dealt with her, and she won't bother me anymore."
Chen Ningsheng frowned deeply and said seriously to Xu Xinchen, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Helpless, Xu Xinchen could only hurriedly chew and swallow the bag of chocolates Chen Ningsheng had given her before telling Chen Ningsheng about Lin Lina.
After listening to Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng was still a little worried and instructed Xu Xinchen: "Although you have taught her a lesson today and made her understand that you are not to be trifled with, you still have to be wary of her. You made her lose face today, and she might be holding back and looking for an opportunity to get revenge on you."
Xu Xinchen nodded knowingly and patted Chen Ningsheng's hand: "I understand, so don't worry. I won't let others bully me easily."
If it were the old her, she might have had many concerns, but after surviving a near-death experience, she has become much more open-minded. No matter what, her own happiness is the most important thing, and as for others who dare to provoke her, she will never let them off easily.
Seeing Xu Xinchen nod in agreement, Chen Ningsheng finally felt a little relieved. That Lin Lina didn't seem like a scheming or composed person.
Therefore, he wasn't too worried that Xu Xinchen would be bullied by Lin Lina; he was just worried that Lin Lina would take advantage of Xu Xinchen when she wasn't paying attention.
If it weren't for Xu Xinchen's dislike of me interfering in his affairs, I could have simply sent someone to warn Lin Lina.
Xu Xinchen didn't notice what Chen Ningsheng was thinking. She looked at Chen Ningsheng and suddenly remembered the batch of drawings she had drawn before. She quickly moved closer to Chen Ningsheng and asked, "How's the batch of drawings I gave you? Have you found out the price for me?"
Chen Ningsheng gently shook his head and reached out to touch Xu Xinchen's hair: "Not yet, how can it be so fast? Your batch of blueprints is particularly innovative. I'm worried that if I just ask anyone, someone else might steal my ideas, so I have to find someone I trust to check it out."
Xu Xinchen nodded. She wasn't too concerned that Chen Ningsheng hadn't found out the price yet. As long as Chen Ningsheng was willing to help her, he would find out sooner or later. She was just asking because she remembered it and asked casually.
Chen Ningsheng, however, felt heavy-hearted. He hadn't told Xu Xinchen the truth at all. In fact, he had not only found out the price of Xu Xinchen's batch of design paper, but someone had even approached him to buy it.
He just hasn't given in yet.
He was shocked when he learned the price of this batch of design paper. If the design paper was indeed worth the price quoted by the person who made the offer, then the profit after producing this batch of jewelry would definitely be huge.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at the future profits of this batch of jewelry, he couldn't just sell the design paper casually; of course, he would have to contact other people first.
Xu Xinchen didn't notice Chen Ningsheng's awkwardness. She was already immersed in her own thoughts. Now that Chen Ningsheng was sitting next to her, she couldn't help but ask him, "Ningsheng, were you under a lot of pressure when you started your business?"
Chen Ningsheng snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Xu Xinchen: "Back then, the pressure was quite high, but once I got through it, it was all okay. What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly asking about these things?"
Xu Xinchen gently shook her head and said to Chen Ningsheng, "I didn't have time to participate in your past, so I want to know everything about your past."
Xu Xinchen was speaking from the heart. She wanted to know about Chen Ningsheng's entrepreneurial experience so that she could gain some experience for herself. She was also genuinely concerned about Chen Ningsheng's past.
