As Zhu Qianying had predicted, when Zizai woke up, he couldn't find Bai Xiaolu anywhere and cried for a long time.
Fortunately, by dinner time, his emotions had gradually calmed down and he stopped crying.
However, he barely ate any of his dinner.
Even though the dishes were all made to his liking, he just sat there with his chin resting on his hand, looking sickly.
This situation seems to be much more serious for the little guy who is already a foodie than when Zhu Qianying sent him back to China.
Zhu Qianying, Yan Shao, and Chen Jing all felt heartbroken seeing him like this, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
Moreover, everyone knows that in this matter, even persuasion is meaningless.
Unless, we bring Bai Xiaolu back.
But obviously, that's impossible.
To prevent Zizai from having wild thoughts at home, he was sent back to school the day after Bai Xiaolu left.
After he took a leave of absence and went back home, even his teacher noticed the difference in him. The once lively little guy had become much quieter when he returned.
Since Yanxu entered this school, he has always been an active and lively student. Now that he has fallen silent, not only does his homeroom teacher think he is sick, but even his classmates think something is wrong with him.
So, the responsible homeroom teacher called Yan Shao and reported Zizai's unusual behavior.
Yan Shao had no choice but to tell the teacher the main points of the matter: "Teacher, one of my son's good friends moved, and he can't accept this fact all at once, so he's been in a bad mood these past few days. I would appreciate it if you could take good care of him."
The homeroom teacher had been feeling uneasy because of Luo Tian's situation, fearing that Yan Shao would become hostile towards her because of it.
Later, she found that Yan Shao hadn't targeted her for this, and she was grateful. Gradually, she began to take special care of little Yan Xu.
In addition, Zizai is good-looking, has a sweet tongue, and is smart. He is the kind of child who is very popular wherever he goes. Even without Yan Shao, a powerful and influential father, he would definitely be the darling of teachers and classmates on his own.
Therefore, Yanxu has always been a highly favored and protected child in the class.
Now, he was a little caught off guard and became unhappy. The other students in the class took turns trying to comfort this little brother who was recognized by the whole class.
"Yanxu, what do you want for lunch? I'll go to the queue and get your food for you."
"Yanxu, it's hot. Would you like some freshly squeezed juice? I'll go buy it for you!"
"Yanxu, these are my notes from earlier. You can copy them, but return them to me when you're done."
...
Thanks to the combined efforts of the teacher and classmates, when Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao picked up Zizai in the afternoon, they clearly noticed that the little guy was in better spirits than when he left in the morning, meaning that his mood seemed to have recovered a little.
Since they no longer needed to avoid Zong Mao's harassment, the family of three moved back to the Yan family home for convenience.
Dinner was prepared by the Yan family's chef according to the little guy's taste, but the little guy still had a very poor appetite. After dinner, while the little guy was feeding Xingxing with a few bones, Zhu Qianying stared at his back with some concern and said to Young Master Yan.
"Sigh, if Zizai keeps going like this, all the succulents I've managed to raise will probably fall off."
Zhu Qianying seemed to be worried about Zizai's health, but in reality, she was just worried that he would be unhappy because of Bai Xiaolu's departure.
Yan Shao comforted her, "Don't worry, how could our precious son be so easily defeated? Besides, Bai Xiaolu isn't on Mars. Even though L City isn't close to B City, it's not difficult for us to visit Bai Xiaolu occasionally."
Yan Shao's words made sense, and Zhu Qianying couldn't think of anything to refute him.
After feeding the dog, Zizai obediently picked up a fairy tale book and snuggled up to his parents to read it.
Worried that Zizai might be thinking about Bai Xiaolu, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying tacitly stayed with him in the living room until he yawned repeatedly and indicated that he was going to sleep. Only then did the two of them lead him into the bedroom, watching him brush his teeth, climb into bed, and cover himself with the blanket. They watched until he closed his eyes and began to breathe evenly, the sound of someone in deep sleep. Only then did the two of them leave his bedroom and return to their offices to attend to their own business.
Because of Bai Shao's matter, Zhu Qianying has also been delayed in her work these days. Before Bai Shao returned, the first draft of the "Han Zhi Ying" brand logo had been completed. It had been shown to Yan Shao before, and Yan Shao thought it was pretty good. Now, Zhu Qianying is continuing to improve it based on that.
While Zhu Qianying was busy designing the logo and formulating the brand's future development direction, Yan Shao had already started to help her apply for brand registration and patents. In short, Yan Shao basically took care of all the tedious things outside of design for Zhu Qianying, so that she could concentrate on her creative work.
During a brief lull in their work, Yan Shao asked Zhu Qianying, "Ying'er, has the location of your studio been finalized?"
"studio?"
Zhu Qianying stared at Yan Shao in astonishment. Ever since she decided to have her own brand, she had focused all her attention on the name and logo design, and hadn't thought about the location of the studio at all.
"You don't mean you're thinking of just working from home like this, do you?" Young Master Yan looked equally astonished.
His idea was for Zhu Qianying to find a multi-story building to use as her personal studio, and perhaps even set up a small processing plant inside, which would make it look more professional.
Judging from her reaction at this moment, it seems that she didn't think too much about it at all.
"Yes, that's exactly what I think!" Zhu Qianying honestly admitted.
"You..." Young Master Yan didn't know whether to say she lacked ambition or that she had oversimplified brand management.
"If you're just doing small-scale work, that's fine with working from home. But if you want your products to be better promoted and sell well, I suggest you choose a location first, and then leave the rest to me!"
After Yan Shao's reminder, Zhu Qianying quickly realized that her idea was too naive.
Whether a good brand can be promoted and popularized depends not only on the designer's talent, but most importantly on the marketing methods and the strength of the promotion.
“I’ll think about it carefully tomorrow. Tonight, I want to finalize the logo design.”
Zhu Qianying really wanted Yan Shao to handle the studio's affairs, but considering how busy he was, she couldn't bear to push all the work onto him.
"Well, there's no rush. I'm just reminding you that there's still this to consider. Don't think that once you've designed the logo, everything will be fine."
Zhu Qianying nodded to indicate that she understood, then lowered her head to continue refining the last few details.
But then Yan Shao said, "The jewelry store case will be heard in court tomorrow. Do you want to go and attend?"
