"Teacher, teacher! Look!" Mo Ling excitedly called out to Gu Anran, holding up her tablet. She ran up to Gu Anran and showed her the contents of the tablet.
"Teacher, look! I've suddenly gained so many followers! Lots of people are reading my posts, and there are so many comments praising us. Hehe, it seems our company is going to be a huge success!" Mo Ling held the tablet, grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, unable to hide her joy.
Gu Anran took the tablet and browsed through it. Most of Mo Ling's posts were about sharing outfit tips and ideas. The ideas were all very good and very novel. Even Gu Anran nodded slightly in approval. If Gu Anran thought it was good, then the general public would certainly agree. The most common comments were praising Mo Ling and YR for leading the next wave of fashion trends.
Gu Anran smiled and handed the tablet back: "Well done, and the idea is also very good. You deserve it." She then ruffled her hair.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to your teaching, teacher," Mo Ling replied.
"Smooth talker." Gu Anran smiled and flicked the girl's nose with her index finger.
The next day, Gu Anran, having nothing to do, opened her phone and surfed the internet for a while. The trending topics that popped up were all about "YR's Rise," "YR, a Treasure Company," and "YR Apparel: A Fashion Must-Have," praising YR in various ways.
Yes, YR has become popular. Gradually, various fashion bloggers started making videos recommending YR, such as clothing showcases or recommendations. Some were genuinely interested, while others were just following the trend. But regardless, it didn't harm YR. The current era is all about following trends. Many people feel that following trends means they won't fall behind. So, once someone recommends YR, once someone wears YR clothes, or once someone posts videos or comments about YR, a new wave of people will emerge to follow this trend. YR's sales are booming. With its conscientious design and high-quality products, YR's popularity is simply icing on the cake.
As Gu Anran scrolled through her phone, she thought to herself with emotion that it hadn't been easy along the way, but her career was finally starting to take off.
For Gu Anran, fashion design is not just a job, but also her passion. When dreams and career go hand in hand, who wouldn't feel gratified?
Gradually, Gu Anran faded out of company management. At least she no longer had to balance management and design as before. Now that the company was stable, Gu Anran no longer needed to put herself through the trouble. Unless it was a major issue, she would not personally take charge. Instead, she would quietly seek inspiration, quietly design and create, quietly release her works, and then receive a spectacular response.
Perhaps because most of her energy is focused on design, Gu Anran feels that inspiration flows like a spring, with flashes of brilliance appearing from time to time, which she firmly grasps. Every design she releases receives rave reviews, and each release creates a new wave of popularity. Gu Anran doesn't release her work very frequently, only once or twice every one or two months, but each release becomes an instant hit, remaining popular until the next release. Therefore, in terms of popularity, YR is now second to none.
And so, time slipped by quietly.
In the blink of an eye, Sanbao is already a year and a half old.
But Ye Lichuan still spends all his time being affectionate with Sanbao, and when he holds her and plays with her, he always teaches her to say "Daddy, Daddy".
Sure enough, Ye Lichuan, who had just returned from the company, immediately picked up Sanbao and played children's games with him, while teaching Sanbao to speak.
Seeing this, Gu Anran couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you teaching her to call me 'Dad' or are you calling her 'Dad'?" This earned her a face full of black lines from President Ye.
Like father, like son. Ye Lichuan would spend all his time playing with Sanbao, and Gu Xiaotian would always follow along. Sometimes when Ye Lichuan was teaching Sanbao to speak, he would imitate Ye Lichuan and teach Sanbao to say "brother".
The father and son even made a bet to see which of the three babies would call first.
When Gu Anran heard about the bet between the father and son, she wondered if she should organize a dinner party. She had heard that children would do unexpected things or say unexpected things in lively settings.
The time for the dinner party arrived quickly. Everyone sat together and teased Sanbao. Sanbao sat in Gu Xiaotian's arms, beaming with joy and waving frantically.
“Baby, come here, say something to me,” Gu Anran teased.
Gu Anran had just said it casually, but Sanbao actually chimed in with a "hehe".
Children's talking is the most likely thing to cause a commotion, and this time everyone was overjoyed. Gu Anran laughed even harder when she remembered the bet between the father and son: "Baby, come here and call me brother again."
"Giggle."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Gu Anran was so happy she could hardly stand up straight, and everyone else was laughing too. Only Ye Lichuan was in low spirits, and even seemed a little aggrieved.
"How about that? You lost, didn't you? Sanbao called me 'brother' first." Gu Xiaotian said smugly. If his nose could grow longer, it would be pointing to the sky long ago.
That proud look really annoyed Ye Lichuan. With a stern face, he took Sanbao out of Gu Xiaotian's arms, then forced a smile and began to coax Sanbao: "Come on, call me Daddy."
"Giggle."
"It's not giggle, it's Daddy."
"Hehe... ba."
"Call me Dad."
"Giggle!"
No matter how Ye Lichuan coaxed her, Sanbao would only call him "brother". Gu Anran smiled and patted his shoulder: "Oh my, why don't you just be her brother from now on, so you won't have to teach her to call him 'Dad' again, which is such a hassle."
Gu Anran's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, but Ye Lichuan couldn't laugh anymore when he heard it, and he felt a great deal of disappointment.
"Bang... bang bang..."
Ye Lichuan, who had already begun to wallow in self-pity, immediately rallied upon hearing this sound. Although it was a very soft sound, Ye Lichuan, who was close by, heard it clearly and was overjoyed: "Come on, baby, call me 'Daddy' again."
"Beep beep..."
Ye Lichuan felt extremely satisfied upon hearing this, and turned to give Gu Xiaotian a provocative look, which Gu Xiaotian glared back disdainfully.
"Oh, baby, you're finally going to do your dad a favor?" Gu Anran said with a smile.
In the days that followed, the employees of Ye Corporation noticed that the once icy CEO had been frequently twitching his lips into a tiny smile, and his gaze was no longer so piercing. He seemed like a gentle breeze, much better than usual, making them feel that the CEO was still a living person. These past few days were probably the warmest days the employees of Ye Corporation had experienced since joining the company.
However, Gu Xiaotian has had a miserable few days. As the saying goes, "If you want to be successful in public, you must suffer in private." Gu Xiaotian looks relaxed on the surface, joking with his family just a few days ago, but in the blink of an eye, he has to bury himself in his studies again.
