Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chapter 152 Chen Xi's Growth

"Sigh, the minds of rich people are really beyond our comprehension," Chen Lili muttered under her breath.

She took out her phone, habitually opened Douyin (TikTok), and planned to watch some videos to relax.

As soon as I opened it, the first video on the homepage popped up.

[The entire internet has dug up the identity of the scumbag! The real identity of the woman who broke up with him has been revealed—it's Chen Xi, a rising designer in Shanghai!]

Chen Lili's hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone on the ground.

In the scene, the heartbreakingly beautiful girl in red, crying in the snowstorm of the snow city, slowly turns her face.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, that aloof and exquisitely beautiful profile could only belong to Chen Xi.

"Oh my god!"

Chen Lili's eyes widened, and she gasped.

The "breakup girl" who went viral online is actually Chen Xi?

Chen Lili watched the comments and likes on the video skyrocket, then turned to look at the shop, which was decorated in a flashy way and full of "photo spots".

Her heart was pounding.

She initially thought the renovation plan was a waste of time and money, but after seeing the account with millions of followers, she suddenly realized something.

This doesn't look like a renovation shop at all.

This is practically creating a "traffic pool" on Chunxi Road in Chengdu!

Once Chen Xi's identity as the "breakup girl" is fully confirmed, fans from all over the country will probably rush here for an "immersive check-in."

At that time, will these clothes still be hard to sell?

If Chen Lili was able to monetize "Brother is here" in her previous life, then she must have had some ideas.

However, all she knew how to do was grill kidneys; she had no management skills whatsoever. Once her internet celebrity status faded, she naturally lost her popularity.

However, this time Shen Fei doesn't need her to have much management experience. All she needs to do is call out "Hey bro!" at the store entrance, and Chen Xi has plenty of talent to handle the rest of the business management.

Simply put, Shen Fei brought Chen Lili over as a human-shaped promotional tool. As long as people are attracted in the early stages, Chen Xi will naturally be able to control the subsequent product management.

Chen Lili swallowed hard, looking at the workers who were still busy, her eyes filled with an unprecedented fervor.

Following Boss Shen and Miss Chen, I'm probably going to fly to the sky for the rest of my life.

Anyuan County, Feiyu Media Office.

Shen Fei leaned back in the boss's chair, a few cigarette butts lying in the ashtray in front of him.

Wang Kai sat in front of the computer, his eyes dark, pointing at the more than 100 gigabytes of raw footage on the screen. His voice was weak: "Brother Fei, Sister Chen Xi really went all out this time. Half a month's worth of footage, just the close-ups of washing vegetables and cooking alone, she shot hundreds of shots. This workload, I feel like my eyes are going to go blind from editing."

Shen Fei pulled over a chair, lit a cigarette, and watched as Chen Xi on the screen bent over working in the yard.

The aloofness and privileged air of the Shanghai heiress, set against the backdrop of this dilapidated old house and the afterglow of the setting sun, created a captivating tension that drew the eye.

"Don't rush to edit the final cut." Shen Fei exhaled a puff of smoke and pointed to several empty shots on the screen. "Let's first extract those scenes of the wind blowing through the eaves of the old house and Grandma threading a needle under the tree."

Shen Fei quickly sorted out the operational logic in his mind.

The reason why Li Ziqi became popular overseas in her previous life was not because she was good at farming, but because she created a "dream of escaping the world" that modern people cannot escape.

Chen Xi's advantage lies in the fact that she carries the dual labels of "bankrupt designer in Shanghai" and "breakup girl".

This sense of redemption—falling from the clouds and returning to the earth—is the biggest highlight.

"The first batch of videos will primarily feature silence." Remove all the unnecessary background music, leaving only the sounds of wind, water, and the crisp sound of scissors cutting thread. The goal is to maximize the atmosphere, making fans feel that Chen Xi, heartbroken in Snow City, has found peace for her soul here.

He knew very well that this "redemption from the soil" was Chen Xi's ultimate weapon.

"The subsequent update schedule will be one week, and each update will have a theme related to intangible cultural heritage."

An old house in a water town in Jiangnan.

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the branches and leaves of the old locust tree, spilling into the courtyard.

Chen Xi was wearing a light blue cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). She had cut and sewn it herself.

The collar is embroidered with several clusters of white magnolias, the stitching is fine and even.

Chen Xi learned embroidery from her grandmother when she was a child, but she later abandoned it.

Grandma had always regretted her talent, but due to her father Chen Hanyuan's insistence, Chen Xi stopped learning embroidery from her grandmother starting in high school.

After returning to her old house, Chen Xi devoted herself to her studies. After half a month of focused learning, her skills in intangible cultural heritage embroidery and Hanfu making have become highly proficient.

only..

"Cough cough"

Chen Xi covered her mouth and abruptly took two steps back from the stove.

The firewood in the earthen stove went out again.

Thick smoke billowed out of the stove, choking her and making her eyes red.

On the cutting board were potato chunks of varying sizes, and in the iron pot next to it, the oil was not yet hot.

She took a deep breath, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, picked up the fire tongs again, and squatted down to stir the firewood in the stove.

It's been half a month.

She learned tailoring, embroidery, and dyeing very quickly.

Cooking, however, became her Achilles' heel.

Either the fire is too high and burns the food, or it takes forever to get the fire going.

Grandma sat on a bamboo chair in the shade of a tree in the corner of the yard.

Holding an embroidery needle in her hand, the silk thread paused in mid-air.

The old lady squinted slightly, quietly watching the busy figure in front of the stove.

They neither offered any words of advice nor stepped forward to help.

A relieved smile appeared on Grandma's lips.

very nice.

Compared to when she first returned to the old house more than half a month ago, Xixi is completely different now.

At that time, Xixi was like a fully drawn bow.

She exuded an indomitable spirit, determined to fight her father to the death.

I couldn't even sleep peacefully; I could always hear her pacing in the yard in the middle of the night.

But now.

The girl has become much gentler.

Just like the well water in this courtyard, calm and clear.

This is the kind of magnanimity that can never be cultivated in Chen Hanyuan's money-grubbing circle.

A soft "snap" sound.

The flames in the stove finally burst forth, illuminating Chen Xi's cheeks.

She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, deftly rolled up her wide sleeves, and picked up the spatula.

The oil is hot.

The potato chunks sizzled as they hit the pan.

A camera mounted two meters away, its red light flashing, recorded everything.

Standing beside her was a pretty, delicate-looking woman, Aunt Lan.

Less than half a month after Chen Xi returned to the old house with her grandmother, Aunt Lan abandoned her career in Shanghai and followed her there.

For various reasons, Aunt Lan never married and always treated Chen Xi as her own daughter.

She had considered helping Chen Xi before, but with Chen Hanyuan in the middle, it wasn't appropriate for Aunt Lan to get involved.

But going back to the old house to take care of the old lady is something that no one else can gossip about.
