Chapter 332: Stand Alone
She added: "Of course, this requires your support."
The scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the slight sound of the air conditioner and the faint breathing of the people next to them.
"Just as you say." I turned around and saw a bright smile on Xu Sisi's face. "However," I added, "you have to be responsible for this project yourself."
She nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling: "Don't worry, I will do it well."
In this way, our online store plan was officially launched. Xu Sisi worked overtime with her team like a clockwork.
She is always the first to arrive at the studio and the last to leave. Sometimes when I pass by the office late at night, I can still see her frowning and thinking in front of the computer screen.
One month later, our online store was officially launched. On the opening day, the order volume exceeded expectations. Looking at the numbers constantly jumping in the background, Xu Sisi finally smiled with relief. This smile reminded me of the way we completed a project independently a few years ago.
Now, our online store has become an important growth engine for the company.
Whenever I see Xu Sisi confidently explaining operational data in the conference room, I am glad that I adopted her advice.
This seemingly weak girl, with her vision and execution ability, opened a new door for the studio to become a company on the road to digital transformation.
The night before, just as I was preparing to return to the studio the next day, Xiao Huai had a fever.
The clock on the wall pointed to one o'clock in the morning. I vaguely heard Xiao Huai tossing and turning in bed, making uneasy groans.
I reached out and touched his forehead, which was terribly hot. I sat up suddenly and turned on the bedside lamp. Xiao Huai's face was flushed and his breathing was a little rapid.
"Jiang Yichen, wake up!" I pushed him who was sleeping beside me, "Xiao Huai has a fever."
He woke up almost instantly and rolled out of bed. We both hurriedly dressed Xiao Huai, he closed his eyes and leaned softly in my arms, like a sick kitten.
"I'll drive the car, you carry Xiao Huai downstairs." Jiang Yichen grabbed the car keys and was about to rush out.
At this time, grandma's door opened. She was wearing a coat and looked worried: "What's wrong? Is Xiao Huai feeling unwell?"
"Grandma, don't worry, he just has a fever. Let's take him to the hospital." I comforted grandma while holding Xiao Huai and walked towards the door.
"I'll go with you." Grandma said as she was about to change her shoes.
"It's so late, you should rest at home." Jiang Yichen advised, "There are many people in the hospital, you will have to worry if you go there."
"Yes," I took over the conversation, "We will be back soon. You can wait at home and take care of us in case anything happens."
Grandma hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then be careful on the road, and call me if you have any problem."
The streets were empty late at night, and the street lights cast mottled shadows on the car windows. Xiao Huai leaned in my arms, breathing heavily. Jiang Yichen drove very fast, glancing at us from the rearview mirror from time to time.
"Don't drive too fast," I reminded softly, "Safety first."
The lights in the emergency room were on, and the smell of disinfectant was overwhelming. The nurse took Xiao Huai's temperature, 39.2 degrees. My heart tightened, and Jiang Yichen's hands unconsciously clenched the back of the chair.
I let out a long sigh, and felt Jiang Yichen's tense shoulders relax. Xiao Huai seemed to sense our mood changes, opened his dazed eyes, and hummed softly.
On the way home, Xiao Huai's temperature was still very high. Jiang Yichen kept looking back at him while driving, his eyes full of heartache. I gently patted Xiao Huai's back and hummed his favorite nursery rhyme.
When we got home, grandma was still waiting for us in the living room. Seeing Xiao Huai's red face, she was so distressed that she kept wiping tears. I followed the doctor's instructions and wiped Xiao Huai's body with warm water. Jiang Yichen helped from the side, his movements were as gentle as if he was treating a fragile piece of porcelain.
"Let me hold you for a while." Jiang Yichen stretched out his hand and carefully took Xiao Huai in. Xiao Huai moved in his arms, seemed to have found a comfortable position, and gradually calmed down.
I looked at his focused profile and suddenly remembered that when we first had Xiao Huai, he was like this too, guarding us all night long.
For this man, love is hidden in every subtle move.
It was late at night, and the moonlight came in through the curtains and shone on Xiao Huai.
I closed the door gently, afraid to wake Xiao Huai up.
The next morning, Xiao Huai's fever finally subsided. She opened her eyes and gave us a sweet smile. Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and gently kissed Xiao Huai's forehead.
"You have to be careful next time," Grandma said as she fed Xiao Huai some water, "A child this young can't stand the torture."
"That's right, luckily nothing happened."
"The baby is too young now, so try not to take care of him."
I nodded, looking at the child with guilt, thinking that I should have paid more attention at that time. Grandma suddenly comforted me: "It's okay, our Momo is a mother for the first time. I don't know how many times Jiang Yichen got sick when he was a child."
While responding to my grandma's words, I helped Xiao Huai pack his things.
"Today, I have to go to the studio."
"Now?"
"Yes, then be careful on the road. Xiao Huai will be taken care of by me and the nanny at home."
While I was responding to grandma's words, I helped Xiao Huai pack up her things. Grandma was still nagging, "Remember to bring an umbrella, the weather forecast says it will rain in the afternoon. Eat lunch on time, don't forget it when you get busy..."
"I know, grandma," I interrupted her with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiao Huai is in your care."
When I picked up my bag and went out, I looked back at Xiao Huai who was playing with building blocks on the carpet in the living room. He raised his head, waved his little hand at me, and talked in a "chirping" voice. That childish voice made my heart melt.
Inside the car, Gu Bai sent a message.
"Sister, how is Xiao Huai now? Will he call me uncle?"
Looking at Gu Bai's message, I laughed out loud.
This kid, his mother hasn't even started to call him yet, but he's already thinking of calling him uncle. He replied, "Guess?"
Received another emoticon.
After posting it, I drove to the studio.
The studio was not far away, and it only took 20 minutes to drive there. As soon as I opened the glass door, I heard a "bang" and ribbons fell from the sky.
"Welcome back!" Xiao Tiantian led the way and other colleagues applauded. The office was decorated with balloons and banners, and there was an exquisite cake on the table.
“You are…” I was a little surprised.
"Celebrating your return from maternity leave!" Xiao Tiantian took my arm, "You've been missing us so much during this period."
I looked around and found that the office had been renovated, with several more live broadcast rooms and updated equipment. What surprised me most was that Lin Xiaoxia was already able to work independently.
