Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 29. Low pay and lots of trouble (First update)
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Lin Feng couldn't help feeling guilty.

After all, this had never happened before. No matter the wind or rain, or how far away, as long as it concerned Ji Yanci, Jiang Jixu would always rush to the scene as quickly as possible, ahead of everyone else.

Over time, they all got used to the girl always putting Ji Yanci first.

It was assumed that no matter what happened, Jiang Jixu would drop everything and rush to Chao Jiyanci's side.

So much so that even hearing a normal, polite refusal from the other party feels unbelievable.

It's even hard to accept.

Ji Yanci lowered his eyes and stared at the gleaming wine in his glass, half of his face hidden in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.

Lin Feng felt uneasy, hesitating whether to say anything more, when he suddenly heard a deep male voice:

"What do you think she's busy with?"

"what?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment; he even thought he had misheard.

But when he met the other person's gaze, he realized he hadn't misheard, and his brain started working at lightning speed.

What is Jiang Jixu busy with?
Aside from constantly chasing after Ji Yanci, she doesn't seem to like anything else...

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that after graduating, Jiang Jixu did not choose to join any company, but instead set up his own studio.

"She's probably busy with work," he said. "The economic climate is bad lately, and it's hard to say whether her little studio can survive."

There's another possibility, which Lin Feng didn't mention.

In fact, as someone just mentioned, the Jiang family has recently been arranging blind dates for Jiang Jixu.

But nobody believed it, not even Lin Feng.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanci seemed to recall something, and a faint smile appeared in his peach blossom eyes.

"The studio shouldn't go out of business."

The orders from the Ji family each quarter keep her busy enough.

……

Wish Studio.

Xiao Mo vaguely heard the conversation on the phone and frowned, saying, "Who is it that's drunk in broad daylight and so rude?"

Jiang Jixu smiled and shook her head, putting down her phone. Ji Yanci might not actually be drunk; Lin Feng might just be looking for some good show to watch.

Over the years, similar things have happened many times.

They were like the boy in the "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" story, crying wolf over and over again, only to laugh at her again and again.

She might have cared before, but now, what does it matter to her whether it's true or false?

Focus your attention on the design drawing in front of you, which is mostly complete.

Xiao Mo, standing to the side, said, "Sister Jiang, I think this piece is already perfect. It will definitely get a good ranking if we submit it to a competition!"

Jiang Jixu pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Wait a minute."

She always felt that there were some parts of this painting of a spring night that were not quite perfect.

Jiang Jixu majored in business administration as an undergraduate, and only switched to art for graduate studies.

At the time, many people did not understand her choice. Only Jiang Jixu herself knew that she had chosen to study business administration for her undergraduate degree because of the Jiang family and for Ji Yanci. However, on the day she received her admission notice, she learned that Ji Yanci had chosen to study abroad.

During her postgraduate studies, she resolutely chose the major she loved.

After graduation, I used the savings I had accumulated over more than a decade to open a studio.

Despite its small size, thanks to Jiang Jixu's hard work, Wish Studio has gained a small reputation in the industry in just two years.

Xiao Mo nodded: "Fortunately, the Ji family took the initiative to cancel the contract with us, otherwise Sister Jiang, how would you have had time to prepare your entry for the competition?"

She looked disgusted and couldn't help but complain.

"A Fortune 500 company, and they pay little and do a lot of work."

Xiao Mo (seemingly expressing genuine feelings as a working person): What a terrible client! Little money and lots of trouble.
