But how could she agree to such a marriage? All the pressure from her family made Chen Shuning suddenly envy Xu Xi. Xu Xi's side of the situation was going smoothly, but her family didn't know how to deal with it. Although Xu Xi said she was willing to face it with her, how should they deal with it? This was still a question.
Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't mind.
"I'm glad you don't mind. I was worried that you would blame me for mentioning you to my family without your consent." Xu Xi glanced at Chen Shuning, chuckled, and felt particularly comfortable.
She was a little embarrassed, but she asked anyway. "Are the buns my dad makes delicious?"
"Hmm. Delicious." Chen Shuning nodded slightly and took another bite of the big bun.
Xu Xi chuckled. "Eat more."
The two of them chatted casually, and it seemed like they hadn't talked enough when they arrived at Chen Shuning's company.
Chen Shuning entered the company gate, but Xu Xi was reluctant to leave. She stayed there quietly for a few minutes, looking at the building where she had worked for several years before her rebirth. She couldn't help but wonder if Chen Shuning could handle the intense work here.
Thinking about work, Xu Xi remembered that she had taken on some outsourcing drawing jobs with several companies last night. She took out her phone and checked to see if she had received any replies. It was just as Xu Xi had expected, and similar to before her rebirth, they had replied to her message and also sent her the price. Xu Xi glanced at the price and thought about how before her rebirth, she had never seemed to consider whether the price was appropriate. She would just accept the price offered and start drawing. Before her rebirth, she had worked overtime to finish the work, making many revisions. Although the remuneration was within her satisfactory range, now she thought calmly that her efforts should not be rewarded with such a small amount of money.
According to Xu Xi's many years of painting experience, this painting should actually cost a higher price.
Do you want to try to raise the price?
Xu Xi looked at the price on her phone screen and hesitated for a few seconds. She then typed a line, asking the other party to add a little more to the price she thought was appropriate. It was her first time bargaining, and Xu Xi felt a little nervous.
Xu Xi thought the other party would refuse, but she didn't expect that the other party would agree directly without any hesitation.
She couldn't help but stand there in a daze. She hadn't expected it to be like this. She felt a little regretful. Had she asked for too little money? Otherwise, why would the other party agree so quickly?
It seems that before my rebirth, the drawings I took on for external assignments saved others a lot of money.
Xu Xi had applied for outsourcing jobs with five companies last night and received replies from three of them today. She was quite satisfied, because even though she hadn't found a job yet and hadn't opened a shop, she wouldn't be living a mediocre life in the future.
She put away her phone, started the car, and prepared to deliver the remaining breakfast to Xiao Mu.
Only then did she remember that Xiao Mu had not replied to her message yet. She picked up her phone again to check the time. Xiao Mu should be up by now, so Xu Xi called him.
Xiao Mu answered the phone quickly, and from the voice on the other end it seemed like the person was very busy.
"Hello? What's up?"
Xu Xi frowned and asked in confusion, "Didn't you read the message I sent you? I sent you a message saying I'd send you breakfast later. My parents made a lot of buns this morning, so I brought you some."
Xiao Mu sounded tired. "I don't have time to look at my phone. I'm busy with things at the shop right now. Didn't we just have a fire a while ago? We're cleaning it up now. I want to start over and keep the barbecue restaurant going."
Xu Xi thought of the dark and messy Xiao Mu store and felt a headache. She responded with sympathy.
"Well, alright. I'll go straight to your store then."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xi drove straight to Xiao Mu's shop. Upon arrival, he discovered that his barbecue restaurant was already in near-new condition. The broken glass doors had been replaced. It looked like it would be ready to reopen in a few days.
Xu Xi walked over with the breakfast she had brought, a look of disbelief on her face. She marveled at Xiao Mu's speed. "You're too fast, aren't you?"
Xiao Mu put down the mop in his hand. "Then I can't always be immersed in sadness, it would be such a waste of time. I might as well use this time to make money instead of being sad."
Xu Xi nodded, agreeing with Xiao Mu's opinion. "I'm glad you think so. I was worried it would take you a long time to get over it."
After saying that, she handed over the breakfast in her hand. "Here, there are celery and beef fillings, pork and cabbage fillings."
Xiao Mu took it and said thank you casually. "It just so happens that I didn't have breakfast."
After eating a bun, Xiao Mu glanced at Xu Xi and asked casually, "How have you been these past two days? How's your progress in pursuing Chen Shuning?"
