"Sister Qiu..."
Zhou Yi, Pang Dajun, and Long Aohai stood in a row, all expressing their concern for Ruan Qiushui.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Gu Changfeng's head was throbbing from the noise, so he quickly told them to stop.
"Then I'll go first."
Long Aohai looked around and immediately began to report on the current situation of Huaxia Film and Television.
"Huaxia Film & Television has consistently ranked among the top in the domestic film and television industry due to its outstanding works. If Huaxia Film & Television claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first."
"Its portfolio includes ten top-rated directors and producers, as well as nearly a hundred other excellent directors and producers."
"We have signed contracts with hundreds of outstanding screenwriters and nearly a thousand popular and talented actors."
"Huaxia Entertainment, under its name, not only covers singing and dancing talent shows, but also involves variety show production."
In conclusion, the spiritual and entertainment activities of the Chinese people are all imbued with Chinese culture.
"It's my turn."
Zhou Yi stepped forward.
"Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory has consistently ranked among the top in sales since its establishment."
…
"Through years of accumulation and development, we have gained a high level of national recognition, becoming the No. 1 pharmaceutical company and enjoying a high reputation both at home and abroad."
The medicines produced by Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory are always number one in China, whether for domestic sales or export.
Over the years, China has earned a lot of foreign exchange thanks to Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory.
"Ancient and Modern Auction House..."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Pang Dajun continued.
"Currently, Gujin Auction House has 34 branches nationwide, generating nearly 10 billion yuan in revenue annually."
The items auctioned by auction houses, both ancient and modern, are all rare treasures.
Although rare medicinal materials such as ginseng could not keep up due to Ruan Qiushui's coma, there was never a shortage of antiques and calligraphy and paintings.
Back then, Ruan Qiushui had Zhou Yi collect a lot of antiques and calligraphy, plus what others gave her. If Pang Dajun used them sparingly, they could still be auctioned off for ten years.
And you?
Ruan Qiushui listened attentively and looked at Gu Changshu and Gu Xiaoxiao.
Today is a work report session. The two of them are in charge of the Snow Skin and Royal Cuisine workshops, so of course they will come together.
"Yushanfang currently has 888 chain stores nationwide, serving nearly 20,000 diners every day, with a daily turnover of nearly 40 million yuan."
Yu Shan Fang has always followed a boutique approach, requiring advance reservations and limiting the number of tables.
Even though the price is high, people can book for over a year.
"Snow White has been a bestseller overseas for ten years and currently has several subsidiaries."
"It not only involves skincare and makeup, but also creates multiple brands in the fields of hair care."
In the entire mainland market, Snow White accounts for at least half of the market share.
It's easy to imagine how popular and well-known its products are.
"Your strength is beyond doubt, and you have worked hard all these years."
Ruan Qiushui sighed.
If it weren't for them, these companies would probably have gone bankrupt or been acquired long ago.
She was the one who put pressure on them and restricted them.
"Sister Qiu, we're not tired."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi quickly spoke up.
For Sister Qiu, everything is worth it.
What's a little hardship? Even if it were a bit harder, it wouldn't matter.
"Yes, we're really enjoying it."
Long Aohai laughed heartily, worried that Ruan Qiushui might feel burdened.
Why would you feel it's hard work if you're doing something you love?
It must be because the team wasn't led well. We need to train more capable people to share the heavy responsibilities.
"It's a rare occasion for us all to get together today, so let's drink until we drop!"
Gu Changfeng had the Imperial Kitchen deliver some delicious food, and everyone enjoyed a lively meal.
…
Before going to bed that night, Gu Zhenghe went to the study to find Ruan Qiushui.
"Son, what's wrong?"
Ruan Qiushui was looking at the reports that Zhou Yi and the others had sent when she saw Gu Zhenghe arrive and asked him what was going on.
"Mom, I'm here today to talk about my girlfriend."
Gu Zhenghe mustered his courage and spoke.
"Mom is just curious to hear what kind of girl could win my son's heart."
My son's gossip is still gossip, and curiosity is inevitable.
"Her name is Liu Xiangsi, and we met in college..."
With a look of reminiscence, Gu Zhenghe recounted his love story with his future wife.
"So, she must be a girl who is as beautiful as an angel, intelligent, lively, cute, innocent and kind."
After listening to her son's story, Ruan Qiushui summarized and extracted key points.
Although the son's account may be embellished, it shouldn't be too exaggerated, right?
"That's one way to put it."
Gu Zhenghe was somewhat embarrassed, but he still nodded honestly.
"Mom, if possible, could you please arrange for both sets of parents to meet?"
Gu Zhenghe looked at Ruan Qiushui, waiting for her reply.
As long as Mom agrees, Dad will definitely have no problem.
"Of course you can. I've already discussed this with your dad."
Two days ago, she and Gu Changfeng had already discussed it and decided that Gu Zhenghe would arrange for his girlfriend's family to meet and have dinner together in a couple of days.
Unexpectedly, this kid was in a hurry and brought it up on his own initiative.
"It's already Thursday, how about we book for this Saturday?"
Everyone is resting on the weekend, so I think we'll have some free time.
"Of course, no problem."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenghe quickly nodded.
"Mom, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go tell Xiangsi."
Gu Zhenghe was overjoyed and quickly went back inside to make a phone call.
"Mom, are you busy?"
Gu Zhenghe had just left when Gu Wantang walked in.
"Honey, you need something too?"
Seeing her daughter's shy expression, Ruan Qiushui had already guessed the truth pretty accurately.
"Um."
Gu Wantang nodded.
"Mom, I was thinking that my older brother has arranged for both sets of parents to meet. Should I do the same?"
Gu Wantang lowered her head, not daring to look at Ruan Qiushui's expression.
She was a little shy to bring this up, being a young woman.
In fact, her boyfriend, Shen Yangchun, had mentioned wanting to propose marriage countless times.
Previously, he had repeatedly declined, citing Ruan Qiushui's illness as the reason.
Now that Ruan Qiushui has recovered, Gu Wantang has no more concerns and wants to sound out Ruan Qiushui's opinion.
If she hadn't stopped Shen Yangchun from visiting, he would have been the one to bring it up.
As for why Shen Yangchun wasn't sent to their door?
Of course, Gu Changfeng had secretly approached Shen Yangchun and given him a cold shoulder.
From a father's perspective, how could he be happy that his beloved daughter, whom he cherished so dearly, had been taken by such a scoundrel?
Back then, when that kid He Fanghai wanted to snag Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Changfeng made things difficult for him for over a year.
This Shen Yangchun dares to abduct his daughter? Let alone making things difficult for him, he's being reasonable by not beating her up.
Therefore, knowing Gu Changfeng's temperament, Gu Wantang naturally dared not let Shen Yangchun openly come to propose marriage. She could only get her mother to give in first, and then work on Gu Changfeng's mindset.
"Girl, do you really like this boy named Shen Yangchun?"
On the first night after arriving home, Gu Wantang successfully ousted Gu Changfeng and came to sleep with her.
That night, she and her daughter talked a lot about Shenyangchun.
