Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 353 To Learn More About CherryBlossom

Chen Corps.

Zixin was slowly beginning to settle in his company under the guidance of his father and grandfather. Even Yunru, who was Sky's President, helped his elder brother with the work in Chen Corps to manage his responsibilities for sometime before he fully blended in.

"Hohoho! Isn't your little brother so capable?" Yunru's nose grew longer with pride.

Zixin smiled and nodded. "Yes. You helped me a lot. You are a good brother."

He grinned. "Yes, yes, praise me more and don't praise Yubi at all."

His brow slightly twitched.

Jianyu smacked on his son's head. "Don't talk about my daughter like that."

"This is partiality! You always take her side," he complained.

He shrugged. He ruffled Zixin's head and smiled. "I hope you are more comfortable now. You don't have to stress about work or feel that you have to quickly learn everything. We just want you to get used to it gradually. We will leave now. If you need any help, call Yunru or your assistant."

"Thank you," he softly showed his gratitude.

Left alone in his office, he felt lighter and more relaxed. He looked around and thought that he might remember something, but he didn't. The work wasn't so difficult. It felt as if his body and brain knew how to do all his professional tasks, which he did flawlessly.

Taking a break, he rested his head on the back of his chair and exhaled a deep breath.

Until now, everything was going well for him. Even though he lost his memories and had a terrifying accident, he had an extremely lovable and supportive family. His family was good. His company was good.

Yet, he still felt something missing from his life.

Was there something else? He wondered to himself.

He shut his eyes to relax only to see a certain woman's face flashing in his mind. He tilted his head, thinking about the two meetings he had with Guiying.

Or CherryBlossom.

He was simply remembering her without exactly knowing what he was actually thinking about her. She was just there, yet that 'just' felt to be a strong presence.

Zixin wasn't sure why he thought about her or what he was actually supposed to do. It was surprising to him as well to know that he was so curious about her, considering all the questions he asked Ai.

He took out his phone and thought for a moment in silence. Then on the internet, he searched for CherryBlossom. His eyes slightly widened to see so many articles about her, and through those articles, he learned that she was quite a popular writer in her field.

She won a competition during high school and got the Best Fiction Writer award. She worked in Dream High and had been since then, the most popular writer in the company. She had her own successful book signing event a few months back but coming to the Authors Summit, he read that she was a grand finalist but didn't win the Summit. Instead, it was his cousin's girlfriend, Zhou Ai.

Zixin continued to read more of her articles and though it seemed that the Summit's loss hadn't affected her popularity on the outside, he could read between the lines of how Ai was quickly overshadowing her.

CherryBlossom was invited to the Shanghai Fest but there were slight suspicions here and there whether she was officially invited or not, though they never went so viral or vocal. People were anticipating Ai's upcoming book more than Guiying's.

It was unnoticeable at this point, but it was there. He felt the shift in the air for the top position. It wasn't that she was instantly pulled down. Rather the process was gradual.

Zixin pursed his lips, and his gaze slightly dimmed. He knew that working in any field was highly competitive and it took a lot of effort to stay at the top. It was common for someone to take over the other's position in a flash. It was all about merit.

Yet, he still felt at a loss. He remembered Guiying's eyes when he had asked her about her career. Instead of confidently answering it and feeling proud of herself, her eyes looked hesitant and worrisome to reveal it to him.

'Nothing fancy...'

Her eyes and so did her voice - nothing reflected the joy of being a well-known writer.

Was it because she lost the Summit that she felt ashamed of telling it to me?

He thought it was quite possible. He didn't know anything about the writing world but from what he read, he could understand that the Summit was quite prestigious for any author. Losing it was definitely a setback. He also read that Ai was already working on her next novel, but there was no news or hints about Guiying's next book.

Zixin pressed his lips again. He wasn't sure why but imagining her to be sad, pulled his mood down too. If possible, he wanted to help her. But how?

Their work areas were worlds apart. There was nothing common between a CEO and a writer's work.

He gave it a deep and sincere thought.

Shouldn't I get to know her as a writer first?

He couldn't recall if he was a book lover or not before he lost his memories, but he decided to give it a shot. The hardcopy of CherryBlossom's books were available online, so he quickly ordered them without a second thought.

He smiled with satisfaction. He was curious to know what sort of books CherryBlossom wrote.

I will read all your books and will support you.

For some reason, he had a feeling that he would definitely like her books.

Zixin had opted for the same day delivery and by evening, a small box containing her books arrived at the Chen Corps' doorstep. He unpacked the box and beamed to see all the books inside.

From the chronological order, he took the first book that was published and went back to his seat. Turning onto the first page, he smiled seeing CherryBlossom's signature and so, he began to read.
