She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1125: Overestimating Your Talent

”Sorry, my brain doesn’t work well.” This guy, just because she is talented doesn’t mean she’s also smart!

”Alright! I overestimated your talent.”

”...” How does his tone sound so punchable?

”I’ve already changed the book’s name to ’Against the Current’. This is a sample book; I’ll send it over for you to review. Since you have no objections, we’ll officially publish it.” Xu Mo handed over a beautifully printed book, the quality of the light blue cover paper was impressive at first glance.

”We’re going for a deluxe edition, absolutely not shoddy. Actually, you don’t need to look; I’ve discovered your aesthetics...” He looked her up and down, ”tsk tsk ... really quite ordinary.”

”Alright, that’s enough! Don’t make me say you bully me.”

”Yes, enough, enough.” He wouldn’t dare bully her!

Sheng Ning found a place to sit down; she wasn’t interested in magazines, already knowing in her past life how successful One Weekly was. Any actress featured in One Weekly, no matter how unknown, could become incredibly popular. She was most concerned about her own book.

This was her first book in her life; the scent of the ink was overpowering in her hand. Sheng Ning gently sniffed it, her lips involuntarily curling up.

”Not bad.”

”Thank you for the compliment. Your uncle has also read it, and he encourages us to publish more female empowerment books. This helps promote women’s capabilities for independence.”

”I think so too, the women of the future will definitely be more capable, more educated, and have independent pursuits for happiness.”

Xu Mo unexpectedly glanced at her, finally understanding why she could write such a story.

”I heard you created Phoenix based on Liu Yilan’s daughter? Do you really think Liu Yilan will achieve such an exalted accomplishment in the future?”

Sheng Ning nodded, ”Not just her; your future will also be impressive.”

Xu Mo gave a shy look, ”Thank you, I think so too.”

Why pair such thick-skinned behavior with a shy expression? Really...

The main reason Xu Mo came this time was to discuss with Sheng Ning the creative ideas for the next novel. The pen name Rebirth had already become famous throughout the country due to its serialization in One Weekly, the market desperately needed her to release a new novel.

Frankly speaking, even if she didn’t write, having someone write for her could still earn a fortune.

However, Sheng Ning had never considered writing another novel before. When she wrote Phoenix, it was by chance. It was only when Xu Mo mentioned it today that she began to think about the next novel. Their opinions and views were similar in many ways and they could chat endlessly.

So before they knew it, they chatted late into the night. By the time Xu Mo left, it was already dark, and her plan to visit An’an at the National Security University fell through; she had to reschedule for tomorrow.

At the Command Center of the Criminal Police Brigade, an early meeting was underway. Zhao Changqi, with a scruffy beard, rubbed his eyes while hosting the meeting.

He had been working overtime continuously for a long time, ignoring all advice to take a break.

”Captain, we received a clue...”

”What clue?” Zhao Changqi impatiently asked before his subordinate could finish, ”Is it about Li Xia?” After days of investigation and collaboration with higher-ups, they had roughly grasped the basic situation of the Southern Border mercenaries and identified the successor of the scarface.

”No, the War Wolf Rescue Team deployed new investigators this morning. Captain, in terms of investigative ability, we can’t compare with the War Wolf Rescue Team; we’re far behind, no need to push ourselves.”
