Chapter 2036 - 2028: Self-Centered

Xiaoqiang stood to the side, looking at the people nearby, but it’s unclear what he was thinking as he didn’t utter a single word.

Lin Siqing had long been unsettled.

Although he had been working for the Lin Family since childhood.

However, the Lin Family’s company was already established, and there wasn’t any hardship involved in entrepreneurship.

This was his first time doing something with a team through his own efforts.

He was proud to think that they, the ones who were underestimated, had finally accomplished something.

Yet whom he trusted, now...

"Xiaoqiang, don’t you remember the state you were in when Ye Ning brought you here? Is this really how you repay us? Look, CR was built by you, I’ve always felt like CR is our child, but look, what have you done now?"

Ye Ning tried to calm the agitated Lin Siqing.

"Alright, Siqing, I’ve always said, some people remain good because they haven’t had the chance to do bad, once given the chance, only then will you truly see whether their heart is red or black."

"Enough."

At this moment, Xiaoqiang raised his head and looked at the two.

His face also showed agitation, resentment, unwillingness.

It carried a sense of humiliation.

He scoffed, looking at the two of them.

"How many times have you said it? I don’t need you to remind me how desperate I was back then. Yes, you showed me recognition, but I’ve already repaid you with my achievements. You’ve seen it, thanks to my designs, you’ve made a lot of money. This is my repayment to you."

Lin Siqing listened, almost bursting out laughing, "What did you say, thanks to your designs?"

The more Xiaoqiang spoke, the more agitated he seemed.

It’s as if he’d suppressed so many words and wanted to let them all out at once.

"Don’t think I don’t know how much you’ve made, but look how little you gave me, how little share I received. Yet, you shine, you go to Paris, and reach top sales because of me, because of me, do you know? Now these design concepts, these designs, these colors, are all my work. But how much respect did you give me? Just because, when you found me, I was penniless, you felt you could squeeze every drop out of me to nurture your greed. Then, you think it’s all justified. Let me tell you, I won’t be exploited by you like this. Yes, you discovered me, but it doesn’t mean I’ve sold myself to you. Once the favor is gone, there’s nothing left. You should know when to stop."

Lin Siqing couldn’t believe this seemingly honest and cautious young designer harbored such resentment within.

However, due to trust, he never calculated these matters so meticulously, but he overestimated everyone’s intentions.

He thought, without saying, others would understand.

They could see everyone’s hard work and dedication and would feel gratitude and kindness, but now it seems, it wasn’t like that at all.

Perhaps it is because, at the end of the day, everyone is self-centered and thinks their contribution is the most important. Without them, others wouldn’t accomplish anything.
