“You… Why do you have… this?” Ye Cheng was so surprised that he could not even speak properly.
Zhuang Ning looked at him curiously and asked, “Is it so surprising?”
Ye Cheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and the urge to reach for the embroidery manual. He tried his best to speak as calmly as possible. “I’ve never heard you say that you’re interested in embroidery. Why do you have an embroidery manual? Moreover, it’s Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual. Zhuang Ji is owned by Mu Chen’s wife, Song Ning, and Cheng Che is running it. Do you know about this?”
Zhuang Ning shrugged and said indifferently, “I know, but what does it have to do with me? Moreover, no one said that the Zhuang Ji here is the Zhuang Ji that President Cheng is running. Is that Zhuang Ji the only Zhuang Ji around?”
Ye Cheng was stunned. His eyes were fixed on the words ‘Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual’; he could not shift his eyes away at all.
Zhuang Ning flipped through the embroidery manual casually as she said, “I called you here to discuss something with you. I want to create my own clothing brand. What do you think?”
Ye Cheng’s eyes lit up as he looked at Zhuang Ning. He knew that Zhuang Ning was not a simple person.
Zhuang Ning tilted her head, looking a little smug as she said, “Have you looked at the stocks you asked me to help you manage? Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you! I made a small profit.”
Ye Cheng reached out to hold her shoulders and said, “That’s great. Let me tell you, your current level is almost on par with me and Chen Chen. Even if we deal with this ourselves, the results won’t be different from yours. You only started learning not too long ago, but you actually achieved such results. As your mentor, I’m very pleased.”
Zhuang Ning smiled and moved his hand away as she said, “You’re exaggerating. I know my own ability. I still have to thank you for trusting me and letting me practice with your stocks. To be honest, my hands were really shaky in the beginning.”
Ye Cheng smiled confidently and said, “It’s nothing. That’s how everyone learns. I’ll get Chen Chen to hand over a few accounts he’s managing to you. In the future, when you’re tired of filming, you can still be a stockbroker. I think you’re very talented.”
Zhuang Ning pursed her lips before she said, “But I still want my own clothing brand, my own company…”
Ye Cheng smiled. “What’s so difficult about that? With me around, you can boldly advance…” He raised his chin, gesturing at Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual as he asked, “Do you plan to use this?”
Zhuang Ning reached out to stroke the embroidery manual and said, “Yes. My surname is ‘Zhuang’, and this is Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual. Don’t you think it’s a good sign?”
Ye Cheng’s eyes widened imperceptibly. ‘Indeed! Zhuang Ning’s ‘Zhuang’ and Zhuang Ji’s ‘Zhuang’ are the same.’
Finally, Ye Cheng reached to take the embroidery manual from Zhuang Ning’s hands. He asked directly, “Is this from Song Ning’s Zhuang Ji?”
Zhuang Ning answered honestly, “It is.”
Ye Cheng’s hands trembled slightly as he asked, “Didn’t you say it’s not from that Zhuang Ji?”
Zhuang Ning glanced at him and said, “What I’m saying is that Zhuang Ji won’t dare to claim that this is theirs. Song Ning owns Zhuang Ji, and Cheng Che’s running Zhuang Ji. However, I’m the person with the surname ‘Zhuang’.”
Ye Cheng was stunned by Zhuang Ning’s twisted logic.
Zhuang Ning smiled. “If there’s a dispute, who do you think is more credible?”
Ye Cheng said probingly, “But… Isn’t Cheng Che your boss?”
Zhuang Ning smiled. “He’s the boss of my agency. There’s a problem with this. I have a contract with the company. This means I can’t start a company on my own due to the contract. This may cause a lot of trouble in the future.”
Zhuang Ning rested her chin on her hand as she thought about it for a moment before she continued to say, “How about this? Why don’t you help me open a company that can compete with Zhuang Ji? I’ll continue helping you manage the stocks. We can help each other. What do you think?”
“Of course, I can help you. I’m just afraid that you’ll suffer…”
Zhuang Ning glanced at him and said, “Suffer? Why would I suffer? Unless… you do something to disappoint me. If you dare to do that, I’ll sell all your stocks.”
Ye Cheng laughed before he asked Zhuang Ning in a doting tone, “Does this make you feel more secure?”
