“I know, but Xiaotian, you are absolutely capable of doing it.” Ye Lichuan looked at Gu Xiaotian sincerely. At this moment, his eyes told Gu Xiaotian that he was not only Ye Lichuan’s son, but also his comrade-in-arms.
"Do you believe I can do it well?" Gu Xiaotian was still a little hesitant.
"certainly."
"Then I'll agree." Gu Xiaotian, still a little arrogant after receiving confirmation, replied with feigned aloofness.
Although Gu Xiaotian is not yet as outstanding as his father, he believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will catch up one day.
Ye Lichuan just smiled and said, "Alright, go back to sleep."
"Okay, goodnight."
The next morning, Ye Lichuan brought Gu Xiaotian back to the company and sent his secretary to help Gu Xiaotian familiarize himself with the company's business. Gu Xiaotian lived up to his father's reputation as Ye Lichuan's son, perfectly inheriting his father's extraordinary talent. The secretary praised Gu Xiaotian repeatedly.
For several days in a row, Gu Xiaotian accompanied Ye Lichuan to the company to learn about its operations.
Meanwhile, during the change of seasons, Sanbao's health also started to suffer from various minor ailments. Gu Anran was busy taking care of Sanbao and had no time to worry about other matters. It wasn't until Sanbao gradually recovered that Gu Anran had time to sit down and rest for a while.
After putting Sanbao to sleep, Gu Anran quietly left the room. She remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Xiaotian come to see Sanbao recently, which made her feel a little strange. So she went to Gu Xiaotian's room, opened the door, but didn't see anyone.
Once downstairs, Gu Anran asked the housekeeper, "Where has Xiaotian been these past few days?"
The butler stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully, "Young Master has been going out with you these past few days."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Anran said with a smile.
Why did Ye Lichuan take Gu Xiaotian out? Gu Anran couldn't understand.
There's no way Ye Lichuan could have gone anywhere else besides the company. Could it be that Ye Lichuan brought Gu Xiaotian to the company?
That's the only possibility.
When it was time for dinner, Gu Anran made sure the three children were settled in before going down to the living room to wait for the father and son to return.
A moment later, Gu Xiaotian skipped over to the dining table.
"We have braised chicken legs today!" Gu Xiaotian said without hesitation, preparing to sit down and enjoy the meal.
"Wait a minute." Gu Anran narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Xiaotian: "Where did you go today?"
Ye Lichuan arrived at this time and sat down, answering slowly, "He went to the company with me today."
"Why would I go to the company with you?" Gu Anran asked, her arms crossed over her chest, seemingly waiting for an explanation.
"It's time for Xiao Tian to learn how to manage a company," Ye Lichuan said slowly, pouring Gu Anran a cup of tea while observing her expression.
Gu Anran wasn't surprised by the answer, but she was still a little angry. She glared at Ye Lichuan and said, "Why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand? Besides, the little genius is so young, can he handle it?"
Ye Lichuan was somewhat annoyed to see Gu Anran, so he quietly placed his hand on the back of her hand to try to soothe her emotions, but Gu Anran shook him off. Gu Anran was no longer in the mood to stay there, so she simply went upstairs and returned to her room.
Seeing Gu Anran leave, the father and son looked at each other in bewilderment. It was Ye Lichuan who gave Gu Xiaotian a wink, signaling him to go up and keep Gu Anran company.
Gu Xiaotian was quite sensible; he put down his chopsticks and obediently went to Gu Anran's room.
The door wasn't locked, so Gu Xiaotian easily sat down next to Gu Anran. He coughed lightly, "Mommy..."
Gu Anran was only angry at Ye Lichuan for making a decision without consulting her beforehand. As for Gu Xiaotian, she felt more sorry for him, worried that he would bear too much pressure that he shouldn't have to at his age.
Gu Anran turned her head and touched Gu Xiaotian's face with heartache: "Has our Xiaotian been working hard lately? Look, his face has gotten thinner."
“Mommy…” Gu Xiaotian felt a little awkward, put down Gu Anran’s hand, and continued, “Mommy, it was after discussing it with Daddy that we decided to go to the Ye family.”
"Mommy wants to know what Xiaotian thinks." Gu Anran wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable; she just didn't want her child to be pressured too much.
“I’m all grown up now, and I believe I have the ability to do these things well.” Gu Xiaotian looked at Gu Anran with clear eyes.
Since the child had said so, Gu Anran had no reason to object: "Alright, let's go downstairs to eat together."
Back in the living room, Ye Lichuan was still waiting for the two of them, and hadn't touched his chopsticks yet.
"Xiao Tian, eat more." Gu Anran kept piling food onto Gu Xiaotian's plate, ignoring Ye Lichuan.
The meal was somewhat awkward. After finishing, Gu Xiaotian went upstairs to take a shower.
Ye Lichuan approached Gu Anran and asked, "Anran, are you still angry with me?"
Gu Anran simply turned her head away, ignoring Ye Lichuan.
If he doesn't give her an explanation today, he can forget about her ever talking to him again.
Ye Lichuan gently wrapped his arms around Gu Anran and whispered in her ear, "Xiaotian has grown up now, and it's time for him to start getting involved in these things. He is my son, Ye Lichuan's son, so naturally he has to work harder than other children. I hope you can understand me."
Gu Anran, who was always most susceptible to Ye Lichuan's gentle coaxing, began to waver at this moment, but still insisted: "But I'm worried that Xiaotian will be under too much pressure."
"Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll be there for Xiaotian as he grows up." Ye Lichuan touched Gu Anran's cheek again: "Don't be angry, okay?"
Gu Anran snorted and said only, "We'll see how you do," before running back upstairs.
The next day, Gu Anran did not stop Gu Xiaotian from going to work at Ye's with Ye Lichuan. However, she still instructed the housekeeper to stew some chicken soup for Gu Xiaotian to take to replenish his nutrition.
After arriving at the Ye Corporation, Ye Lichuan saw that Gu Xiaotian had a good understanding of the group, so he instructed Gu Xiaotian to start working as his assistant.
Ye Lichuan thought Gu Xiaotian would complain endlessly, but to his surprise, Gu Xiaotian just silently carried out the tasks Ye Lichuan had given him.
In addition, Ye Lichuan was pleasantly surprised to find that when he asked Gu Xiaotian to organize the company's bills for the past few years, Gu Xiaotian not only finished earlier than he expected, but also accurately found some small loopholes in the bills, as well as a few that he himself had failed to notice.
It seems that Gu Xiaotian still has great potential in the business world.
A few days ago, Gu Anran saw a summer camp activity and signed Mo Ling up for one.
