This also won a round of applause from the audience. Near the end, Hogo suddenly walked onto the stage and interrupted Onsai's explanation.
The host looked at Hogo with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Hogo, it's Mr. Onsai's turn to give his presentation now. If you have any questions, please ask them later."
Hogo nodded at him, stood on the stage and smiled slightly. He looked at Onsai with disappointment: "I thought you could improve a bit, but I didn't expect you to still be using my design drawings."
The audience erupted in uproar upon hearing this. What did it mean?
Looking at the audience, Hogo began, "I think you all don't know why I'm so abrupt."
“Let me answer everyone’s questions one by one. Mr. Onsai and I were university classmates. We used to be very close and could talk about anything.”
He looked sadly at Angsai: "There are no secrets between us. We're just people who eat from the same pot. He stole my design."
The audience was so shocked their jaws nearly dropped. They never expected that the handsome and talented Ang Sai would do something like this.
Hogo picked up the design drawings. He had a little habit of marking each of his drawings with this kind of mark.
Everyone who saw it sighed with regret, and Ang Sai was speechless.
From then on, the two became like strangers. Before leaving, Ang Sai wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
The bidding conference concluded successfully, and Hogo's outstanding performance ultimately won him the victory, leaving everyone convinced of his defeat.
After the competition ended, Jia Yunxin's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from people canceling their collaborations. Her legs felt weak, and she leaned against a pillar.
The phone kept ringing, and Jia Yunxin didn't want to answer it anymore. They were all either cancelling cooperation or demanding compensation.
Gu Anran and Huo Ge returned to the company. When they entered the office area, there was no one there. Gu Anran looked at Huo Ge in confusion: "It's not time to leave work yet, is it?"
Hogo looked bewildered. He glanced at the empty office area and was about to say something when he was startled by a loud "bang."
Colleagues appeared before them, fireworks littered the ground, and everyone happily congratulated Mr. Huo on his success.
Hogo said apologetically, "It's all thanks to everyone, not just my efforts."
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you all for your hard work during this time. Mr. Gu and I will definitely give you red envelopes."
A chorus of excited exclamations filled the office area. Gu An announced that everyone could leave work early today, as the company would treat everyone to a meal, hosted by Huo Ge.
Just as it was almost time to leave work, Ye Lichuan appeared downstairs on time, much to the envy of Gu Anran's colleagues.
Whether it's windy or rainy, Ye Lichuan is always downstairs when it's time to leave. A colleague joked, "President Gu, you're so lucky! President Ye is so busy, yet he comes to pick you up from get off work every day."
Gu Anran blushed slightly and smiled, "You should all hurry up and find a boyfriend too."
Ye Lichuan opened the car door for Gu Anran. After getting in the car, Gu Anran took the initiative to say, "It's been a long time since I've been back to the old house. I got off work early today, so let's go back and take a look together."
Ye Lichuan took her hand and kissed it. No matter how her family treated her, she still did her best.
He was pleased with Gu Anran's understanding and sensible nature. No matter how Old Master Ye treated her, Gu Anran never complained. All she did was try her best to be herself.
She diligently fulfilled her duties as a wife and daughter-in-law. Upon returning to the old house, she placed the tonics she had bought in the living room and respectfully greeted her parents.
They chatted together, and Grandpa Ye's attitude softened considerably. They waited together for Gu Xiao to get off work.
Gu Anran rested in the bedroom for a while. Gu Xiaotian was unaware that his parents had come to visit him, as his schedule was packed with announcements today.
He was busy until very late before he returned to the villa by car. As soon as he entered the door, the butler informed Old Madam Ye, and the servants began to prepare the meal.
Gu Xiaotian was well taken care of by Grandma Ye. Even when he was busy, Gu Xiaotian would go home for dinner, as he felt that this would allow him to spend more time with his grandparents.
They are old and feel lonely without anyone to eat with, so he and his aunt go home for dinner every night.
Since Gu Xiaotian came into the family, it seems that Grandma Ye and Grandpa Ye's lives have become much more enjoyable.
With something to look forward to each day, it's no longer just about reading the newspaper or trimming the flowers and plants.
Ye Lichuan looked at the little woman on the bed and couldn't bear to wake her. She had been busy every day lately, and he felt sorry for her.
Knowing that his mother had arrived, Gu Xiaotian happily went upstairs to find Gu Anran. He knocked on the door, and Ye Lichuan made a shushing gesture.
Gu Xiaotian understood immediately. He tiptoed in and looked at his mother's sleeping face, feeling a pang of heartache.
Gu Anran woke up when she heard the noise. She got up and saw Gu Xiaotian next to her, so she hugged him tightly.
The mother and son hadn't seen each other for several days and chatted intimately about recent events.
Gu Xiaotian blinked his little eyes at Gu Anran and asked, "Mommy, have you not been eating properly lately?"
"You've lost so much weight, it breaks our hearts."
Gu Anran kissed his little face and said with a smile, "It's okay, Mommy will eat well and take good care of herself so you won't worry."
Gu Xiaotian nodded and took Gu Anran's hand as they went downstairs to eat.
Once everyone was present, the servants brought the food to the table, and the family gathered around to eat.
Old Master Ye sat in the main seat and said solemnly, "Let's begin."
Rich people have very strict family rules, such as not speaking while eating or sleeping. So no one talks while eating. Ye Lichuan serves food to Gu Anran, and Gu Anran serves food to Gu Xiaotian.
Grandpa Ye looked at the family of three with satisfaction: "Xiao Tian should start school now, after all, he will inherit the family business in the future."
Suddenly, Sister Ye Lichuan spoke up, "Xiaotian has a great talent for advanced physics. I'll give him some extra tutoring recently."
"There's a competition coming up soon, he can give it a try."
Gu Xiaotian readily agreed, "I will try my best, Auntie."
Sister Ye Lichuan nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Tian is the best boy. Eat quickly, and then we'll go study."
Gu Xiaotian likes advanced physics, and Gu Anran supports him. They asked when the competition would be held, and they would accompany Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian has been very busy lately, and he has told his assistant not to take on any new work.
Gu Anran's company was also on the right track and began to operate steadily, giving her more free time.
He and Hogo researched the women's clothing market; she wanted to get into women's clothing and needed a suitable spokesperson.
Gu Xiaotian had almost finished arranging his work and started studying advanced physics with his aunt every day.
He bought a lot of study materials and does practice questions every day. He studies with his aunt every day, and he's actually quite good.
However, just in case, he still carefully reviewed the knowledge he had learned, spending most of his time in the study every day.
Time flew by, and it was time for Gu Xiaotian's competition. Gu Anran got up early to tidy herself up.
