Gu Xiaotian hummed twice. He also hoped that his mother could have time to go out and play with him, but he only thought about it occasionally. He knew how busy his mother was.
Two people, one older and one younger, sat at the table sighing, while Gu Anran was still engrossed in her design work. The lights outside the office slowly came on, and the secretary walked to the table to organize the documents. She glanced at the office with the lights on and noticed them.
She glanced at her watch; it was only a little before eight. It seemed the office lights were still on. She pushed open the door to turn them off, but was startled when she saw Gu Anran standing there sewing.
"Boss, why are you here so early?"
Without turning her head, Gu Anran said, "I suddenly had an inspiration and want to make it as soon as possible. How is the jewelry making progress?"
The secretary then remembered and quickly took out a beautifully crafted box from her bag and handed it to her. She took it, opened it, and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the jewelry that shone under the light.
"Let's make an appointment with Mr. Li."
After the secretary agreed, she tilted her head to look at the outfit on the model. It was a long, silver, tight-fitting dress that reached her thighs, with a V-neck and a tassel design at the hem. Small rhinestones adorned the chest area.
The dress had no excessive embellishments; it was simple and elegant, yet it was captivating at first glance, and the secretary's eyes were practically glued to it.
"This is an evening gown; the basic design is complete." Seeing that she couldn't take her eyes off it, Gu Anran gave a brief introduction.
"Can I take pictures and post them online?" She looked at Gu Anran expectantly. Gu Anran thought for a moment and nodded, then added, "I'll adjust it a little more, and you can take the pictures after lunch break."
After her secretary left, she sped up and finished quickly. The time she had agreed upon with Mr. Li had arrived, so she took the box to the conference room, where Mr. Li and her secretary were already there.
He handed over the red velvet box, and Mr. Li took it and opened it. A look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He held the necklace in his palm and examined it closely. The diamond was made with a brilliant cut, and the multiple precise cuts made the diamond surface even more dazzling.
"Mr. Gu is indeed a professional designer. I am very satisfied with this set of jewelry."
Gu Anran smiled and said, "It's my honor that President Li is satisfied." President Li praised her again, and his words revealed his intention to cooperate in the future.
After seeing Mr. Li off, she breathed a sigh of relief. Now she didn't have to worry about the raw materials anymore, and the company's development would definitely get better and better.
After lunch break, the secretary came to her office and exclaimed in amazement at the finished clothes. The clothes looked even better after being ironed. She took out her phone and took several photos, then returned to her seat with satisfaction.
Such exquisite clothes don't need any extra filters or photo editing. She simply cut them out and posted them on the company's official account before going to work.
The company staff were still busy until someone took a break and checked Weibo, and was surprised to find that their official website had crashed, with likes and comments reaching new highs.
"This company's designs are so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, this dress is so beautiful, I want to buy it."
"I never expected to discover such a treasure brand while browsing Weibo."
The comments under the picture of the dress were full of praise, and many people even tagged the official website to inquire about the price. The person quickly told their colleagues about it, and soon the whole company knew that the dress designed by the boss had become a hit.
The secretary and Gu Anran were still choosing a suitable designer when Gu Xiaoan opened the phone and they realized what had happened. They quickly turned on their phones.
“I knew girls all have the same taste.” The secretary was delighted. Gu Anran slid her finger across the screen, feeling a surge of pride as she looked at the affirmations in the comments section.
Many marketing accounts also began to express their opinions on this matter, and within just one day, it attracted a lot of fashion and design tycoons to engage in heated discussions about the picture, which also gave the company a boost in publicity.
"Mom, did you see that?" Gu Anran rarely came home early, and Gu Xiaotian pointed to the long list of praises on his phone.
She glanced at it briefly; all the articles were the same. "Very impressive." Ye Lichuan had somehow sat down next to her and patted her head.
"Of course, don't you know who I am?" She exaggeratedly raised her thumb and tilted her head back. Seeing the two people staring at her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the two people next to her also laughed.
That night, she was leaning against the headboard looking at Weibo when her phone suddenly showed a private message from someone. The name looked familiar, so she clicked on it.
"Hello, designer Gu, this is Marry."
She suddenly sat up and excitedly clicked on her profile page. It wasn't fake; it was the real Marry! Her personal introduction listed the awards she had received, and her profile wasn't even finished on a full page, which was enough to show how outstanding she was.
"Hello, Ms. Marry," she quickly replied, followed her on Weibo, and then asked her secretary to investigate the Weibo account.
It seemed like they were busy for a long time before replying to her. They first expressed their praise for her work, and then mentioned that there was a competition and wondered if she would be interested.
"May I have your contact information? I hope we can discuss this matter in detail." Gu Anran knew that Marry was a top designer, and all the apprentices she trained were designers for international brands.
After confirming that it was Maryy's account, she gave her the contact information without hesitation and arranged to meet her the next day.
"Take your time off on your phone and go to sleep." Ye Lichuan said helplessly but affectionately when he saw her still holding her phone and grinning foolishly after taking a shower.
"Marry just called me." She recounted what had happened. Ye Lichuan forced a smile. He knew that she would be very busy if she went to participate in the competition, but that was what she longed for, and he shouldn't be an obstacle to her success.
Gu Anran fell asleep with joy, while Ye Lichuan was very melancholy and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Mayy came to the company and talked to Gu Anran about the competition. It was an international competition with great prestige. Even if she didn't win the championship, she would still get attention from the design community if she participated.
"I believe Miss Gu can win this championship," Marry said to her before leaving.
Gu Anran, who was already competitive, became even more determined to participate in the competition. In this internet age, the company also needs exposure.
After making up her mind, she began to think about the design for the competition. Remembering that Marry had mentioned her new design several times, she decided to use that dress for the competition.
Since it was an entry for an competition, she felt it needed further revisions, and after some thought, she decided to sleep in the office instead of going home.
"I won't be back tonight. There are still groceries in the kitchen. You and Xiaotian hang in there for the next few days. I'll make it up to you when I'm done with this."
