nAfter returning to the apartment, Xia Yishan dutifully cleaned Su Jingting’s shirt before hanging it up. She was so serious and sincere that she almost burned incense to worship it.

nSince she still had some time to relax, Xia Yishan recalled her memories of Xia City. If she remembered correctly, a certain someone would be arriving in the city within the next few days. The man was something of a genius.

nTan Xiaoling met him in her past life.

nHe was one of the main reasons that Tan Xiaoling managed to build her foundation in high society.

nPerhaps her rebirth caused a butterfly effect, changing her life’s trajectory.

nHowever, a genius should never remain hidden.

nXia Yishan stayed at Xia City’s tourist area looking to fix the problem.

nShe walked through all the touristy streets in Xia City for three days, but she did not see the man she wanted to meet. She could not help but feel rather upset.

nAn exquisite dessert store by the roadside got her attention. She happened to be a little tired, so she turned around and went into the store.

nIt was small, but the setting inside was warm. After asking the store assistant for recommendations, Xia Yishan ordered the signature homemade yogurt and a cake.

nMessages suddenly flooded her WeChat account.

nSu Yujie: “Sister Shan, Sister Shan. Paging for Sister Shan.”

nSu Yujie: “Sister Shan, have you made up your mind? Are you signing the contract? Let me know if you have any conditions at all!”

nXia Yishan: “Anytime.”

nSu Yujie: “That’s amazing, Sister Shan! You’re smart to have chosen us, Asia Entertainment!”

nSu Yujie had completely forgotten the fact that it was Asia Entertainment who got in touch with Xia Yishan.

nXia Yishan: “Is it because of a close friend’s recommendation that Young Master Jie is signing the contract with me?”

nSu Yujie sensed something and replied, “The recommendation is one of the reasons. However, the company is very happy with the results of your art exam. That’s why they want to sign you on. It’s because of the combination of Sister Shan’s good looks and talent.”

nXia Yishan:”…”

nSu Yujie: “I swear I’m telling the truth! Let’s meet to sign the contract? We’ll meet your agent as well?”

nXia Yishan: “Let me think about it…”

nSu Yujie:”…”

nXia Yishan felt that Su Yujie was immature.

nWithout warning, the sound of a scuffle came from behind her. She turned around and her eyes lit up.

nA lady stood up angrily. There was a man sitting across from her, and she furiously threw a stack of paper at his face. “Live happily ever after with this pile of trash!”

nThe lady ran out. The man ignored the eyes of the crowd and bent down to pick up the papers one after another.

nA fair hand appeared and picked up a piece of paper before he did.

n“Thank you…”

nThe girl who came into his eyes was pretty. She was like sunlight bursting through the darkness. He had never thought there would be anyone willing to pick up his drawings.

n“Are these your design work?”

n“Even the person I care the most about called it garbage. She said it’s a pile of trash.”

nXia Yishan tucked her hair behind her ears. “They are design work if you think they are. Why are you denying something someone else said?”

n“Hah…” The man quickly downed the glass of plain water on the table. “Nobody appreciates them.”

nHe was eager to tear the designs up, but he just could not do it.

n“Tell me who has ever succeeded without having to go through hardship and pain first?”

n“You don’t have to console me.”

n“I don’t think you need consolation. If you trust me, I’ll guide you. However, it depends on you how far you’re willing to go.”

nThe man’s eyes sparkled when he met Xia Yishan’s gaze.

n“Oh yeah, what’s your name?”

n“Ren Qi.”

n“My name is Xia Yishan.”

nAt that moment, Ren Qi had no idea why he should believe the girl in front of him. She was clearly younger than him.

nHowever, her eyes did not look like she was lying. She seemed to have experienced a lot of failures in the past, and this allowed her to see the deeper meaning of his work..
