"Mom." A little boy rushed into a warm embrace.

"Your son?" Ye Zhaoyu asked curiously.

"Okay, Xiaoyang, call her Aunt Ye." Wen Nuan patted her son's head, gesturing for him to greet her.

"Aunt Ye," Huo Wenyang called out sweetly as she looked up.

"Xiao Yang, may I call you that?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Huo Wenyang, looking down at him.

"Okay." Huo Wenyang nodded obediently.

Before Ye Zhaoyu could say anything more, Ye Xingwan came out and saw Ye Zhaoyu, so she quickly ran out as well, "Mom, you're here."

"Yes, I've come to pick you up. This is your Aunt Wen, a friend of Mom's."

Ye Zhaoyu placed the hand she wanted to touch Huo Wenyang on her daughter's shoulder.

"Hello, Aunt Wen," Ye Xingwan greeted politely.

"Oh, Wanwan, you're so cute. This is your little brother, Wenyang. You two can be good friends from now on." Wen Nuan felt a surge of joy looking at the well-behaved girl.

She likes girls, but she's not lucky enough to be one.

Hello, little brother.

"Mom, I'm not a younger brother, I want to be the older brother." Huo Wenyang saw that it was the new bully in the class. He was scared and hid behind Wen Nuan, whispering his protest. He insisted that he would not call her "older sister" and that he wanted to be the older brother.

“If you don’t want to be the younger brother, we can just be classmates and call each other by our names.” Ye Xingwan didn’t want to be the older sister either.

Huo Wenyang thought for a while before agreeing, "Okay, let's be classmates."

Wen Nuan and Ye Zhaoyu watched the two children talk to each other without saying anything to disagree.

It's just a title, it doesn't matter.

After separating from Wen Nuan.

Ye Zhaoyu asked Ye Xingwan, "Why don't you want to be the older sister?"

"Mom, I don't like him. Can we not be friends with him and not treat him like a younger brother?"

Ye Xingwan looked up at her mother, her tone very certain even though she was asking for her opinion.

"Sure, you can choose to be friends with the person you like. But can you share with Mom why you don't want to be friends with him?"

This was the first time Ye Xingwan had so clearly stated that she didn't like someone.

"The boys bully the girls and say girls are troublesome. I'm a girl, so I don't play with them either." Ye Xingwan told Ye Zhaoyu about what happened at school.

"I see. Mom supports Wanwan's decision." Ye Zhaoyu didn't think it was a big deal. When she got older and started experiencing puberty, she wouldn't think girls were a problem anymore.

Only after confirming that Ye Xingwan could integrate into school life did Ye Zhaoyu begin to coordinate her work with Ye Fei.

Over the course of seven years, the performance of domestic companies steadily increased under Ye Fei's leadership.

Currently, there are three brand image stores and one private customization store in Beijing.

The three stores cater to mid-to-high-end customers, while the custom store caters to top-tier luxury customers and is generally not open for business; one order is enough to sustain you for three years.

This custom-made shop has only received 10 orders so far, each order for Chinese wedding attire worth over 200,000 yuan.

Besides Beijing, Nightfly has offered several franchise opportunities, and there are now 20 franchise stores nationwide.

The store is operating smoothly, but the current issues are management and rampant copying, which is impossible to completely eliminate.

Basically, once a sake-designed garment is released, imitation samples quickly appear, and the quality can even match, making it difficult for many people to distinguish the authentic product.

This has led to these franchise stores stocking other goods and selling them under their own brand.

China's patent law has only recently been improved, and many people are not yet aware of it.

Because of a piracy issue, Meng Qingjiu has devoted almost all her energy to fighting counterfeits.

The biggest problem now is to apply for patents for the brand name, trademark, and the design of each outfit.

Ye Fei and Meng Qingjiu have been working on this, but they always encounter various problems when dealing with the authorities, and the approval rate for their applications is too low.

Ye Zhaoyu put this issue aside for now, and decided to find a few people who like to make pirated copies and then kill them.

The largest piracy factory belongs to Qin Zichuan.

Ye Zhaoyu found this somewhat amusing; was this person a persistent ghost?

Ye Zhaoyu gradually sorted out all the problems and came up with corresponding solutions.

"Xiao Feifei, could you help me arrange for these people to have dinner together? I want to chat with them." Ye Zhaoyu listed the names of several people.

After Ye Zhaoyu made up her mind, she immediately arranged for Ye Fei to carry out the arrangements.

By the time I finished dealing with everything, it was already past 10 p.m.

Since returning to China, Ling Yunjue has seemed to have disappeared, and hasn't been home for more than ten days.

I still miss Ling Yunjue a little after not seeing him for so long.

Ye Zhaoyu couldn't resist her craving for a cigarette, so she lit one and let it burn slowly, inhaling the smoke.

Ye Fei acted swiftly; in the following days, Ye Zhaoyu spent almost all her time meeting people for meals and discussing business.

In addition to this, Ye Zhaoyu also had Ye Fei host a cocktail party under the name of YL Company and announce that the Jiaoli brand was looking for a general agent in China.

Jiao Li sells very well in the United States, and many people in China have heard of it.

When they learned that they needed to find a general distributor in China, many people were asking for an invitation to the cocktail party.

“We have already sent out 50 invitations. Here is the list, along with their backgrounds.” Ye Fei showed all the information to Ye Zhaoyu.

“Okay, thank you Feifei.” Ye Zhaoyu took the documents. “Before the party, I want to go to Shanghai to meet with Qingjiu. Could you please book my plane ticket and come with me?”

Ye Fei wrote down the information.

Ye Zhaoyu looked up and saw Ye Fei's serious expression, his face showing exhaustion. "Let's not worry about that for now, let's discuss the company's structure again!"

“Okay.” Ye Fei quickly put down his pen, and the two of them took out the company structure.

The initial structure was very simple, consisting of only a general manager, business units, and a finance department.

It's clearly very difficult to handle things now.

The two restructured the company, readjusted the division of labor, and promoted those who deserved promotions, including both job titles and salaries.

Ye Yiming was promoted to general manager. He has a particularly strong ability to execute and is suitable for the position. Ye Zhaoyu will remain as chairman, and Ye Fei will continue to be her assistant. In addition, a secretariat has been added.

After the readjustment, everyone is adapting. Vacancies are filled by recruiting new people, and key positions are filled by our own people.

After all that was done, a week had passed, and the banquet was in three days. It would be too late to go to Shanghai now, so I had to postpone it.

Ye Zhaoyu didn't go over, but Meng Qingjiu did.

They also brought Ye Zhaoyu an evening gown.

"Here you go. I know you're a very busy person, so I came over first."

During the years Ye Zhaoyu was abroad, Meng Qingjiu visited her in the United States.

The two were quite familiar with each other.
