Although they were at summer camp, Mo Ling still chatted with Gu Anran, so she learned that Gu Xiaotian had been busy with company matters recently and that he was slowly starting to learn how to manage the company.
Therefore, Mo Ling saw Gu Xiaotian again two weeks later.
Around 11 p.m., Mo Ling couldn't sleep and felt thirsty, so she went out to get some water. She noticed that the light at the end of the corridor was still on, so she went to the kitchen to heat up a cup of milk and headed towards Gu Xiaotian's room.
"Knock knock"
"Come in."
Gu Xiaotian was still looking at his textbooks. Now he was going to start learning about company affairs, but he couldn't fall behind in his academic studies, so he came up with this alternative: working at the company during the day and studying at night.
Mo Ling gently placed the milk on the table, then slowly sat down on the stool next to her, trying not to disturb Gu Xiaotian.
"It's you?" Gu Xiaotian put down his pen, picked up his milk, and took a small sip.
"Hmm," Mo Ling quietly looked at Gu Xiaotian. His once rugged face was now a little thinner, but his handsomeness was still undeniable. Mo Ling's tone carried a hint of worry: "You've been so busy lately, you've lost quite a bit of weight."
"It's alright," Gu Xiaotian smiled indifferently.
Mo Ling clutched the hem of her clothes, finally deciding to voice her concerns: "Won't you get very tired doing this? I'm worried your body can't handle it. Working this hard can easily make you sick. Besides, you'll be under a lot of pressure at work. I'm afraid you..."
"Okay," Gu Xiaotian gently patted Mo Ling's head and said, "I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
Although Mo Ling was worried about Gu Xiaotian, she also knew that Gu Xiaotian was capable of overcoming all difficulties, so she nodded: "That's good."
"Xiaoling, do you have your own dream?"
"A dream?" Mo Ling paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I haven't found my own dream yet."
“At first, I was just like you, not knowing what I wanted to do in the future. But recently, I seem to have gradually found my direction.” Gu Xiaotian said calmly and firmly, “My dream is to be like my father, a business elite, with enough ability to protect me and the people I love.”
Mo Ling noticed that Gu Xiaotian's eyes held a subtle glint as he spoke.
She thought that silly little boy was still so naive and ignorant of the world, but she didn't expect that he had already made plans in his heart. Mo Ling knew that the gap between them was slowly widening, and she could only be worthy of him if she worked as hard as he did.
"Okay, I will definitely find my own dream."
…
The Ye Group recently acquired a clothing design studio, but a mishap occurred during the acquisition process, and the studio's owner refused to sell no matter what.
Ye Lichuan decided to hand the case over to Gu Xiaotian. On one hand, he wanted to test Gu Xiaotian's abilities, and on the other hand, he wanted the people in the company to recognize his abilities. He also believed that Gu Xiaotian was capable enough to complete the task.
Without saying a word, Ye Lichuan transferred several of his trusted employees to work under Gu Xiaotian.
This was the first time Gu Xiaotian convened a group meeting.
But the time had come, even two minutes had passed, and no one had appeared.
Gu Xiaotian wasn't in a hurry; he simply sat in his seat and waited. Ten minutes later, the group finally arrived.
"Good morning, everyone." Gu Xiaotian said softly as the group took their seats.
The employees below, however, showed little interest and showed no intention of responding to Gu Xiaotian.
“I know that none of you here today want to be bossed around by me, because I’m just a greenhorn,” Gu Xiaotian continued nonchalantly, “but I strongly disagree with that view.”
"What makes you think you can make us listen to you?" Ren Man, who had worked at the company for over five years, really couldn't understand what the CEO was thinking, that he would make them work for this middle school-aged kid.
“Indeed, we have the ability to make you listen to me, but our relationship should not be one of superior and subordinate. I believe that our relationship should be one of cooperation and mutual benefit,” Gu Xiaotian said, taking a sip of tea. “Everyone here has more experience and qualifications than I do, which is why we are cooperating. You have better experience, but you lack a new way of thinking.”
"What do you mean?" Qin Qing, a rising star in the company, said this and became interested in Gu Xiaotian after hearing his words.
Gu Xiaotian flipped through the contract and said carefully, "For example, in this case, most of you only thought about negotiating terms with the other party, but you didn't think about how to get them to cooperate with us willingly."
"Indeed, do you have any better suggestions?"
"Looking at the owner of this design studio, it's not that she can't design good products, but she lacks a good market. Her design style is mainly European and American, bold and passionate, but it is very rare in our domestic market."
“That’s right, but we have marketing strategies for overseas markets to address this.”
"Therefore, we need to improve our marketing strategy so that we can grasp the psychology of our customers. After all, what designers value most is how to make their designs shine and brilliance."
Ren Man nodded. He hadn't thought of that. He simply assumed that the other party refused to cooperate with them because of the price or other factors. Gu Xiaotian, despite his young age, was able to spot these blind spots, which was truly beyond his imagination.
"We only have two days, so the cooperation should be completed as soon as possible."
Gu Xiaotian stopped delaying and quickly assigned tasks, and everyone completed their tasks in an orderly manner.
After a series of coordination efforts, as expected, the other party relented and agreed to continue the cooperation due to the Ye Group's perfect marketing strategy.
The designer's original intention was to design sexy clothing that could showcase feminine beauty, but unfortunately, it had never been recognized in China, and there was no way to highlight the brand's characteristics in the overseas market. However, Gu Xiaotian's proposal successfully achieved this, which really surprised her, so she agreed to cooperate.
The team was overjoyed to receive a positive answer and praised Gu Xiaotian. Even Ren Man, who initially had the most objections to Gu Xiaotian, showed a rare smile to him.
Gu Xiaotian fought a brilliant battle.
After several months of hard work, the matter was finally completed successfully.
