The room was covered with light pink wallpaper, and the wooden table was covered with a fresh tablecloth. On the table sat a new computer, several books about foreign languages and design, and a small desk lamp. The floor was covered with a rug, and a small sofa was placed by the window, with several small potted plants on the windowsill.
The bed sheets and duvet covers were also light pink, and fluffy little toys were scattered around the room.
"We were in a rush and didn't get to see everything. If you need anything, just let Aunt Wu know."
"Thank you, Aunt Gu." She bowed deeply, and when she looked up again, Gu Anran saw her reddened eyes.
"No need to thank me. You also have a mission here, so you need to study hard." Although she and Xiaotian are the same age, they have different living environments, and Gu Anran still feels a little sorry for her.
At lunchtime, Aunt Wu prepared a table full of dishes, and Gu Anran kept serving food to Xiaoling.
In the afternoon, she let Xiaoling familiarize herself with the villa's surroundings, while she herself made a phone call to Huo Ge, who casually mentioned his current team.
Gu Anran's eyes lit up. "How about we collaborate?" Originally, YR was founded by the two of them, but since Huo Ge started a new brand and a new company in Australia, YR has been managed by her alone.
Hogo had mentioned this to her before, wanting her to take sole charge of YR, but she refused. Now, although Hogo is sometimes too busy to manage YR, he still receives the highest salary and bonuses.
"If it were you, I would need to think carefully." It would be good to cooperate with her, but she is pregnant now, and even if he were willing, Ye Lichuan might not be.
Gu Anran ignored his reply and said, "Send me your team's information." Seeing that she was determined to cooperate, Huo Ge gave him a few more instructions before sending the information.
After receiving the information, Gu Anran quickly clarified the relationships within their team and reviewed each person's work to understand their design styles. Having experience collaborating with Western partners, she was confident that this collaboration would be equally successful.
After contacting the company's vice president and finalizing the meeting time, she arrived at Xiaoling's room in a cheerful mood.
Only after receiving permission did she push open the door and go inside. Xiaoling quickly stood up. Gu Anran glanced at the open magazine on the table and said, "I'll be working with a team for a while. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Xiaoling nodded immediately; she absolutely couldn't miss such an opportunity.
The next day, Gu Anran took Xiaoling to the company and met the vice president and the team. She thought it would take some time to get used to each other, but after discussing the design and goals, everyone agreed with her.
"Yes, your idea is really good."
Gu Anran was very happy to receive everyone's recognition. She gave herself a day to get to know everyone, and then made a plan to discuss with everyone.
Xiao Ling, who had been silently watching her, was filled with envy. She secretly encouraged herself, thinking that one day she would become someone like Aunt Gu.
The East and the West are completely different. The East is reserved and elegant, while the West is free and unrestrained. This is also reflected in the design. After looking at everyone's inspiration, Gu Anran put forward her ideas.
"If we combine the two cultures, we're sure to create something amazing."
Watching them discuss Gu Anran made me a little nervous. Although there were other opinions along the way, everyone ultimately chose to believe her.
With the collision of Eastern and Western inspirations and everyone's efforts, a new batch of products emerged. On the day we received the finished products, the studio was filled with excitement, emotion, and joy, and everyone celebrated with each other.
Standing in the shadows, Gu Anran looked at everyone with a smile on her face. "Teacher Gu, aren't you going to celebrate with them?"
"No, this moment belongs to them."
Xiaoling's English pronunciation is not accurate, and she stumbles over her words because she is not familiar with them, but she insists on speaking in English, and Gu Anran will intentionally slow down his tone.
On her way home from get off work, Gu Anran passed by a cake shop and bought Xiaoling a small cake as a reward for her hard work in studying. After dinner, she went to Xiaoling's room to teach her some design knowledge.
She didn't return to her bedroom until 9:30 p.m. Ye Lichuan had just finished showering and came out in his bathrobe. She could still feel the dampness on his body when he got close to her.
“You’re even busier than me now, so take care of yourself,” Ye Lichuan reminded him tirelessly every day.
Gu Anran nodded obediently. They had very little time together now. Apart from having breakfast together in the morning and falling asleep in each other's arms at night, they basically didn't see each other during the day.
"The time and location for the new product launch I'm collaborating with Hogo's team haven't been decided yet. Would you like to come with me?"
How could Ye Lichuan feel at ease letting her go out alone? He arranged all the work the next day to ensure it would be completed within a week.
Gu Anran also called Huo Ge to discuss the specific location for the new product launch, and finally decided on today, two weeks from now, in France.
The staff from both sides began handing over preparations for the new product launch in France. After finalizing the venue and schedule, they began making intensive arrangements.
Two weeks later, Gu Anran arrived in France with Xiaoling and stayed at a hotel next to the press conference venue. Ye Lichuan forced her to sleep in the hotel for a day and go on stage the next day. Fortunately, she was used to this kind of occasion and did not need to rehearse.
At the press conference, she introduced the design concepts of several new products and gave a speech on the relationship between Chinese and Western cultures before stepping off the stage. After all, she was pregnant and standing for a long time was too tiring for her.
“Anran, be careful. Someone arranged by Angse has entered the scene posing as a reporter. I have already sent you the photos.”
She had just sat down when Huo Ge called, and her heart skipped a beat. It was already the Q&A session, and if someone came out to cause trouble at this time, it would have a negative impact on the press conference.
"Don't worry." Ye Lichuan took the phone and left quickly, returning ten minutes later.
"Don't worry, it's resolved."
Gu Anran quickly sent a message to Huo Ge. The press conference was coming to an end, and as the designer, she needed to make one last appearance. "Wait for me backstage. We'll go back after this is over."
After speaking, she quickly tidied her appearance and went on stage, where everyone took a group photo.
The press conference concluded successfully, and many people came up to shake her hand. These people were all French nobles, and gaining their approval meant that they would become famous locally, which was a good thing for her and Hogo's team.
She thought she could go back to the hotel after the event, but she was surrounded by reporters as soon as she stepped out of the venue.
"Designer Gu, what are your thoughts on the success of this press conference?"
Do you plan to develop your career in France long-term?
