After 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.

Since 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.

Tan Xiaoling met him in her past life.

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

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

However, a genius should never remain hidden.

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

She 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.

An 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.

It 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.

Messages suddenly flooded her WeChat account.

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

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

Xia Yishan: “Anytime.”

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

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

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

Su 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.”

Xia Yishan:”…”

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

Xia Yishan: “Let me think about it…”

Su Yujie:”…”

Xia Yishan felt that Su Yujie was immature.

Without warning, the sound of a scuffle came from behind her. She turned around and her eyes lit up.

A 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!”

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

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

“Thank you…”

The 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.

“Are these your design work?”

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

Xia 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/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

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

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

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

“You don’t have to console me.”

“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.”

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

“Oh yeah, what’s your name?”

“Ren Qi.”

“My name is Xia Yishan.”

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

However, 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..
