Chapter 1203 You're So Good at Talking
However, it's understandable. After all, Gong Li prefers embroidery. She thought no one would support her embroidery before, but she didn't expect that Shen Xuening's orders would be so numerous that she couldn't finish them all. Since that's the case, she's bound to do what she loves most.
Shen Xuening's embroidery stall was thriving, and at the same time, the results of the embroidery competition were announced.
Chi Hong embroidered double-sided embroidery and rightfully won first place.
This was naturally a good opportunity to increase Chi Hong's value. Shen Xuening immediately added the title of first place winner in the embroidery competition to Chi Hong's name and also increased the unit price of his orders by 20%, which made him so excited that he almost couldn't sleep that night.
Shen Xuening came in fifth place, and she was quite satisfied with that ranking, considering it was only a part-time job.
Gong Li came in seventh place. While hard work is one factor, talent is also an important consideration.
The second place went to that outstanding girl; her embroidery was indeed excellent, and she truly deserved the award, so no one complained.
The top 30 in this embroidery competition will all receive prize money: 50,000 for first place, 30,000 for second place, 10,000 for third place, and 5,000 for each of the remaining places, which is quite good.
After receiving the prize money, Chi Hong became more confident. This was the first time he had received recognition from the outside world, which was quite an achievement.
That evening after get off work, Shen Xuening returned to her room, rested for a while, made a phone call to Qin Zizhou, and then sat down on a stool to continue embroidering the embroidery she had done the day before.
This time, she's embroidering a purse. She's been working on it for two days and it should be finished tonight.
Looking at the embroidery she had painstakingly created, Shen Xuening felt a great sense of accomplishment. However, she was currently focused on learning, as there were still so many embroidery-related skills she hadn't mastered. Of course, this was also her main purpose for taking on jobs.
It took Shen Xuening nearly an hour and a half to finish embroidering the purse. Then she attached the tassels to the purse opening, tightened it, and tied the rope into a bow. That completed the task.
This is the first complete embroidered pouch I've ever finished. It has a light purple base and purple daffodils, and it looks quite pretty. I think my fans will like it when they receive it.
After admiring her work for a while, Shen Xuening opened the mobile app, entered the embroidery section, and clicked the "Embroidery repaired, waiting for delivery" button after the first customer. The button immediately changed color, indicating that the embroidery was ready to be shipped out.
Once you click this button, the relevant person in charge will come tomorrow to collect the package, pack it, and then hand it over to the fan. Everything is done according to procedure.
Just then, Qin Zizhou sent Shen Xuening a WeChat message: "Xuening, are you asleep?"
Shen Xuening replied: "No, why?"
Qin Zizhou asked with concern, "Have you finished embroidering your purse? You've been working on it for several days, staying up late every night. Won't you ruin your health? You need to take care of yourself."
Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry. By the way, let me embroider something for you. What do you want?"
Qin Zizhou was taken aback: "I have absolutely no idea what to do after you asked me so suddenly."
Shen Xuening's eyes sparkled with a smile like stars: "You can take your time to think about it. I'll be waiting for you anytime."
Qin Zizhou hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Xue Ning, I don't need to be in such a hurry. Why don't you embroider something for Grandma? Her friends have all asked her what you embroidered for her. Although Grandma didn't say anything, she's still looking forward to it. But if you don't have time, we can do it later."
Shen Xuening readily agreed: "Grandma loves me so much, even if she doesn't have time, I'll make time to tell her what kind of embroidery she wants most."
Qin Zizhou hesitated for a moment: "I tried to subtly suggest that Grandma might want a shawl."
Shen Xuening immediately replied, "I understand. Give me a few days, and I'll send it to Grandma as soon as I finish embroidering it. I guarantee Grandma will like it."
Qin Zizhou was very grateful to Shen Xuening, and Xuening never refused his requests: "Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Xuening smiled: "So polite?"
Qin Zizhou looked at the screen and laughed: "Isn't this just polite talk?"
Shen Xuening: "Alright, we don't need all this between us, we can just say it directly."
Qin Zizhou's expression softened: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. You should go to sleep early. I won't take up any more of your time."
Shen Xuening smiled gently: "You should go to sleep early too, goodnight."
Qin Zizhou replied: "Good night."
Shen Xuening rubbed her face, and with a thought, she went to her spatial dimension.
Today, the ginseng doll told her that something new had appeared in the space and asked her to go and take a look.
Upon entering the space, Shen Xuening heard a loud goose call. The sound was so loud that it made her head buzz. She quickly looked over and saw two black geese standing on the table, one on the left and one on the right. They were agile and weighed at least ten kilograms, looking majestic and extraordinary.
Shen Xuening asked eagerly, "Xiao Can, is the new thing you mentioned these two black geese?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?" the ginseng doll proudly introduced. "This is a giant black goose that only exists in our world. Eating it can turn your hair black and make you look five years younger. In your world, this effect would drive people crazy, right?"
"You..." Shen Xuening was shocked, "A spiritual object?"
The ginseng doll nodded: "That's right, only spiritual creatures can have such an effect. The space gave you a male and a female black goose, which is enough for you to reproduce."
Shen Xuening reached out and patted the big black goose's head obediently: "Do their offspring have such great effects?"
The ginseng doll said, "The efficacy will definitely decrease over time, unless you keep them in your space, in which case the efficacy will not change. However, if you feed them with spiritual spring water, their efficacy will not be much worse, so don't worry."
Shen Xuening couldn't bear it: "It would be a waste to kill and eat such a good goose."
The ginseng doll then lectured Shen Xuening: "Hey, you're so compassionate. You need to know that everything exists to serve us, not for us to cater to. Do you understand?"
Shen Xuening retorted, "Heartless!"
The ginseng doll asked, "Then will you still keep them?"
Shen Xuening answered without hesitation: "Raise."
"Hmph." The ginseng doll pointed at the two geese and said, "You two better behave when you get out, or I'll kill and eat you."
Shen Xuening hesitated, "Should we take them out now?"
The ginseng doll thought for a moment: "Let's wait until they lay a hundred eggs before taking them out."
Shen Xuening blinked: "How long will it take?"
The ginseng doll replied casually, "It'll only take a few days."
Shen Xuening was taken aback: "A hundred eggs, in just a few days? You're not kidding me, are you? Tell me seriously, were you just making fun of me?"
The ginseng doll emphasized, "I'm telling the truth. They can lay many, many eggs a day. Unlike geese in your world, which only lay one egg every few days, they can lay one egg in an hour if they eat spirit food."
Shen Xuening: “…”
Seeing Shen Xuening's shock, the ginseng doll couldn't help but become smug: "How about that? Didn't expect our spirit creatures to be so powerful, did you?"
Shen Xuening suppressed a laugh and chimed in, "That's really impressive, I was stunned."
The ginseng baby asked, "So what do you think?"
Shen Xuening said, "Let them lay eggs, then hatch them, and I'll take the little ones out to raise them. I'll just tell everyone that I bought the goslings, and no one will question it when they grow up."
The ginseng doll thought it made perfect sense: "Okay, I support you."
Shen Xuening looked at the two geese: "Do you need a nest? If so, I'll go and prepare one for you."
Black geese certainly can't speak, but the ginseng doll said, "Of course they need to, otherwise where would they lay their eggs and incubate them?"
"Then I'll go prepare now." Shen Xuening left the space, went to the woodshed to get a lot of straw and put it into the space. Then she found a large Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, laid the jar on the ground, and spread the straw in the jar to make a luxurious goose nest.
Shen Xuening asked the ginseng baby, "What do you think of this nest?"
The ginseng baby said enviously, "I want to live there too."
Shen Xuening couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, your wooden house is much, much better than this goose nest."
"Hehe." The ginseng doll chuckled.
Shen Xuening said, "I'll come back to see these two geese in a few days. I'll leave them here in your care." There are all kinds of crops in the space. The black geese can find whatever they like to eat on their own, so they don't need to be taken care of.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." The ginseng doll patted its chest. "By the way, could you bring me some savory biscuits?"
"You want to eat it now?" Shen Xuening asked.
"Next time, there's plenty of good food today." The ginseng doll looked at the large bag of things on the table and shook its head.
“Okay, I’ll bring you some next time,” Shen Xuening promised.
……
Feng Xiaolan came to Shen Xuening's office again, holding a tablet computer in her hand. She was in high spirits, as if she had some great joy.
"President Shen, I have something good to show you." Feng Xiaolan's voice was cheerful and full of excitement.
"What good stuff?" Shen Xuening looked at Feng Xiaolan, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“This is it.” Feng Xiaolan handed the tablet to Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening was immediately delighted when she saw this: "Our short drama has already surpassed 100 million views across all platforms? And its popularity has also surpassed 100 million?"
Feng Xiaolan, like a victorious rooster, proudly declared, "That's right, isn't that amazing?"
Shen Xuening was very impressed with Feng Xiaolan's abilities: "Amazing! I never expected to find such a treasure of a director. He has brought me many surprises over the years. Amazing!"
Feng Xiaolan immediately stated, "President Shen is my mentor. To repay his kindness, I will work even harder in the future."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Just do your best in everything, and you'll have a clear conscience."
Feng Xiaolan said earnestly, "That's for sure. I have a sincere heart for President Shen, and I will never let you down no matter what."
Shen Xuening returned the tablet to Feng Xiaolan and asked, "Has Hongshi Short Drama contacted you?"
Feng Xiaolan nodded: "I've contacted them and they asked me to put the short drama on Hongshi Short Drama. I came here precisely to discuss this with President Shen."
Shen Xuening said decisively, "No need to discuss it, just release it. I own 49% of Hongshi Short Drama."
Feng Xiaolan's eyes widened: "President Shen, you're really surprising."
Shen Xuening smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?"
“Yes.” Feng Xiaolan took out another document. “President Shen, the second short drama has finished airing, and I’m now preparing to film the third one. I need your signature to approve it.”
Shen Xuening glanced at the document and signed her name at the end: "Work hard, looking forward to more good data."
Feng Xiaolan nodded emphatically: "It definitely will. If the third short drama is good, I hope President Shen will grant me a request."
Shen Xue Ning said: "You say."
Feng Xiaolan straightened her face and said very seriously, "President Shen, I was hoping that you would allow me to make a movie. The content of the movie is not yet prepared, but as long as you agree, I will start preparing immediately."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Director Feng, you're quite ambitious. Are you planning to win an award and enter the international market?"
"I'd like to, but I'm sure I don't have the ability." Feng Xiaolan was looking forward to it, but with her abilities, she was still far from being qualified. "President Shen, right now I just want to focus on filming the third drama. The rest is filming movies, and I haven't thought about anything else."
"Then I agree. You can think about it some more," Shen Xuening encouraged. "Director Feng, I have high hopes for you."
“Okay.” Feng Xiaolan became full of confidence.
Shen Xuening then said, "By the way, I've already contacted the training instructor. Here's her contact information. I'll leave the rest to you."
Feng Xiaolan took the business card and couldn't help but get excited: "Yes, President Shen."
……
Ronghua Embroidery.
Shen Wenxu leaned closer to Chi Hong and asked, puzzled, "Why would a boy like you learn embroidery? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
“I…” Chi Hong’s mood immediately sank when he thought about what he had experienced over the years. “Many people laughed at me, but I have survived them all. As for why I learned embroidery, it’s because I like it. My grandmother was an embroiderer. My parents divorced, and I lived with my grandmother. She raised me with embroidery.”
“I have grown up surrounded by embroidery and have developed a deep love for it. Now that my grandmother is gone, I want to carry on her spirit.”
"Handsome young man, are you going to look down on me?"
Shen Wenxu shook his head vigorously: "How could I look down on you? You make a living with your skills, that's amazing."
Chi Hong felt a warm glow in his heart: "Really?"
Shen Wenxu raised his hand as if to swear: "Really, what I said is from the bottom of my heart."
Chi Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Shen Wenxu comforted him, "Don't think so much. This embroidery is something you like, and it's also your grandmother's last wish. In my opinion, you should carry on the tradition. Why care about what others think?"
Chi Hong nodded: "I don't care much about other people's opinions anymore. I just want to do my embroidery well."
Shen Wenxu said, "That's the right way to think. Your own feelings are the most important. Why care about what others do? They're all strangers. They didn't feed you or give you water."
Chi Hong felt a sense of relief: "Young man, you really know how to talk."
