19 Official Announcement
Ye Zhenzhen is very happy today.
After a long day at work, my body is tired and I just want to lie down in my chair and not move, but my mind is very excited.
In her previous life, she was diagnosed with cancer before she could find a job after graduation. While in the hospital, she envied her classmates who were healthy and had successful jobs.
When several close friends visited her in the hospital, they often complained about the discomfort of working overtime and the stinginess of their boss.
In her view, that kind of life, even if it was hard, was fulfilling and something to aspire to.
Since her time travel, apart from participating in "Let's Go Traveling Together," she has spent all her time working.
Having no prior knowledge of company management and starting everything from scratch, the effort she put in is unimaginable.
Now that the harvest is slowly coming in, it's like a farmer who has been busy all season watching the seedlings he planted grow strong and healthy, feeling an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
As Gu Tingshen drove, he listened to her chattering away like a cheerful little bird about her work that day, and he didn't find it noisy at all.
“When we went snorkeling before, there were so many colorful coral fish and all kinds of creatures in the aquarium, they were so beautiful. I wanted to make a marine-themed jewelry, I think young people would like it. Nan Nan even drew a skeleton for Black Panther, and once it's finished, she'll hang it around Black Panther's neck.”
"Nan Qiao said her graduation project was submitted to a film festival in country D..."
In her cheerful voice, Gu Tingshen felt all the fatigue of the day disappear. He didn't know how to describe it, but he felt his mind become incredibly relaxed and peaceful.
"There's a banquet in a few days for Jiangcheng's mother's birthday. My parents haven't returned to China yet, so we have to go," Gu Tingshen said as they approached home.
"Sure," Ye Zhenzhen answered readily. The Jiang family had always been deeply involved in the medical field and were among the top in the industry. Several families were acquainted with them; Ye's mother had stayed at the Jiang family's hospital when she was receiving treatment in China. "Is Nannan going too? Does he have a suitable suit?"
Gu Tingshen thought for a moment and said, "Bring Nannan to the banquet. His suit was ordered before and it was just delivered a while ago."
“Okay, what color dress are you planning to wear?” Ye Zhenzhen suddenly thought that since she was accompanying Gu Tingshen to the banquet, their dresses should match so that they wouldn’t look out of place.
Remembering it was a birthday party, she asked again, "By the way, have you prepared your birthday present?"
"We haven't decided which outfit to wear yet. You can pick it out tonight. Your parents have already prepared the gift." Gu Tingshen said, turning the steering wheel and entering the yard.
Gu Sinan is playing frisbee with Black Panther.
"Dad, Mom, Black Panther can catch frisbees now!" Gu Sinan said as she threw the frisbee. Black Panther turned its round head and chased after it, running quite fast.
It eats a lot every day and grows very fast, even stronger than when it first came back. It runs much more steadily now, and if you don't look closely, you can almost ignore its crippled front leg.
"Black Panther is amazing." Ye Zhenzhen squatted down, took the frisbee from its mouth, scratched its chin, and was affectionately nudged with its nose by Black Panther.
Before eating, Gu Sinan wiped the black panther's paws clean with a wet wipe and placed its food bowl next to the dining table. The black panther waited obediently for its little owner to say "start" before burying its head in its food.
"I talked to Brother Xu Xu on the phone today, and he heard that Black Panther can now use the toilet. He praised it for being very smart." The child spoke proudly about Black Panther while eating.
Ye Zhenzhen and Gu Tingshen were busy with work during the day, so Li Bo and Gu Sinan basically took care of Black Panther. Its den was originally designed with a dog toilet, and surprisingly, it learned to use it in just a few days.
"Black Panther is so smart! I thought it would only be able to use it when it was older." Ye Zhenzhen was also pleasantly surprised. Now she wouldn't have to worry about Black Panther pooping and peeing everywhere, which would be unacceptable to Gu Tingshen, who was a bit of a germaphobe.
In the evening, the family of three were busy with their own tasks in the study.
The study on the second floor now has additional desks and chairs for Ye Zhenzhen and Gu Sinan.
At Ye Zhenzhen's request, a comfortable beanbag chair was added. It was larger than the previous single sofa, just as soft and supportive, and could be used for sitting or lying down. She loved to curl up on it to read.
Gu Sinan will be starting primary school soon, and Ye Zhenzhen wants to cultivate his reading habits and improve their parent-child relationship, so she has recently bought a lot of children's books.
The child was used to being well-behaved from a young age. At first, when Ye Zhenzhen asked him to sit on the sofa and watch together, he was a little embarrassed and subconsciously sat up straight.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel sorry for him when she saw his quiet appearance.
Many children this age still act like little tugs of candy, snuggling in their parents' arms, but Gu Sinan is like a little adult, so sensible that it breaks your heart.
In both her past and present lives, she grew up surrounded by her parents' love; home, in her heart, was a warm harbor that sheltered her from the storms of life. Putting her mission aside, she also wanted to treat this child even better, to make him feel more relaxed at home.
It seems to be working well so far. The little one is now nestled in her arms, and the two of them are sitting together on a beanbag chair reading "A Collection of Chinese Historical Stories".
After sending a work email, Gu Tingshen rubbed his temples and looked up to see him leaning against Ye Zhenzhen, listening intently to what she was saying, his little face full of affection.
The warm light cast a halo around the two of them, reflecting a warm silhouette in his eyes.
He relaxed his shoulders and neck, leaned back in his chair, and looked around. The study was no longer as empty and cold as before.
In fact, it wasn't just the study; the entire Mantingfang had changed, becoming like Ye Zhenzhen herself—soft, warm, and endearing. It was a feeling of home he had never experienced since childhood.
After putting Gu Sinan to sleep, the two returned to the bedroom. Gu Tingshen went to the walk-in closet and took out the suit that had been delivered some time ago, then tried it on.
Men's formal wear styles are largely the same, differing only in fabric and details. Gu Tingshen's formal wear is all custom-made. He is tall and well-maintained, a typical example of someone who is muscular when undressed but slim when dressed; he is a perfect clothes hanger.
When he came out of the dressing room, his shirt buttons were not fully fastened, and a small section of his neck was exposed.
Ye Zhenzhen's gaze was unconsciously drawn to him as his well-defined hands buttoned up the clothes one by one, gradually covering his neck. The last button stopped below his Adam's apple, like a seal, concealing the man's strong body under the fabric.
Looking up, his chin has a strong, cold line, coupled with a high nose bridge, and his handsome and noble features exude a strong sense of asceticism, yet for some reason, he is exceptionally alluring.
Realizing what she was thinking, Ye Zhenzhen looked away as if she had been burned, and lowered her head to drink water as if to cover it up.
Gu Tingshen tried on several outfits, consulted Ye Zhenzhen's opinion, and finally chose a black evening gown.
Among the many new seasonal gowns in her wardrobe, Ye Zhenzhen chose a black velvet fishtail dress from R&L Haute Couture. The design was simple, the cut exquisite, and the connection between the shoulder straps and the chest was adorned with rhinestones arranged in the shape of feathers.
Not overly revealing, but appropriate and elegant.
It was getting late, and since these dresses were all custom-made to fit her figure, she didn't want to try them on anymore. Instead, she matched Gu Tingshen with matching diamond cufflinks and a black velvet bow tie, based on the fabric and accessories of the dresses.
Over the next few days, the two were busy with their own things. Ye Zhenzhen was overwhelmed by all sorts of plans and reports every day. It was only when Song Chengcheng reminded her that the "Let's Go Traveling" program was going to make its official announcement that day.
The official Weibo account released the trailer at 9:00 AM.
Under the blazing sun, golden sand and azure sea flash by. Four groups of guests take the stage in turn. There's Liu Wei carrying Zhang Siqing as they stagger and run wildly on the beach, Yan Feng's amazing knife skills, Lan Nuo's beautiful scene of swinging on a swing with her daughter, and finally, on the yacht, Ye Zhenzhen is held in Gu Tingshen's arms. The moment the two look into each other's eyes, the video abruptly ends, followed by the program logo of "Let's Go Traveling Together".
All eight guests reposted the Weibo post and tagged their respective teammates.
After finishing her work at the company and watching the promotional video, Ye Zhenzhen casually clicked to forward it and tagged Gu Tingshen.
Seeing herself on the show for the first time was a bit of a novelty. Recalling how Gu Tingshen had pulled her and she had bumped into his firm, warm chest, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. At the time, she was only focused on being scared, but now, looking at the scene in the video again, it all seemed so ambiguous.
It must be a problem with the editing of the show! She fanned herself with her hand to cool down her face, thinking to herself.
The leaked video made "Let's Go Traveling Together" a hit even before it aired. Ye Zhenzhen was already a hot topic, and with the interaction of these factors, the pilot episode immediately topped the trending searches, making the program's publicity team extremely happy.
"Aaaaaaah, it's finally coming! It's only been less than three minutes, it's not enough to watch at all!!"
"The last shot, holy crap, is this a travelogue or a dating show?!"
"It really is Prince Gu! He's so damn handsome! The entertainment industry needs a male god like him!!!"
"Ye Zhenzhen has reached a new level of beauty. Those who know, come and see if she's even wearing makeup! With such good looks, she can be this carefree!"
"What an amazing male god! Who understands the bulging muscles on his tanned arms?! I want to see the full movie!! Jiang Wei, hurry up and edit it, I want to see it!!!"
"They're such a perfect match!! The little princess and her king, so adorable!!!"
"The tension between this couple is incredible! Those two seconds of screen time inspired a 30,000-word novel in my mind. Is there any writer who could write that?! I want to read it!!!"
"Ye Zhenzhen is getting lower and lower, dragging people outside the entertainment industry onto variety shows to show off her love just to get attention!"
"Snowflakes, stop your foul mouth. If you didn't get involved with our Zhenzhen, your idol wouldn't get any attention at all, right???"
…
Song Chengcheng had the public relations department keep an eye on the comments, and after scrolling through them for a long time, she finally felt relieved.
Everyone was busy admiring their looks, urging for more updates, and gossiping about their relationship; not many people took the opportunity to criticize Ye Zhenzhen. The few haters who did speak were relatively restrained, probably intimidated by Gu's legal team.
The Reuters video that went viral earlier has made those anti-fans who were sued embroiled in lawsuits, and their real-life lives are in complete chaos. They've been begging for their lives to be let go.
The effect of making an example of someone is exceptionally good.
Gu's Group Headquarters, President's Office
The secretaries huddled together, gossiping quietly about today's trending topics.
"Have you seen it? The trailer for the travel reality show that Mr. Gu and his wife recorded before has been released."
"I've seen it. I never knew President Gu had this side to him. It's true what they say, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
"Have you noticed that President Gu hasn't been working overtime much lately? I heard he picks up and drops off his wife every day."
"Wow, is it this sweet? I feel like President Gu has become much more humane now."
As everyone was discussing, they saw the president's assistant, Li Qingyun, push the door open and enter, and they quickly fell silent and went about their business.
The president's office is usually busy and under a lot of pressure. Taking a few minutes to relax occasionally doesn't interfere with work, so Li Qingyun didn't pursue the matter further.
Ye Zhenzhen had just retweeted the Weibo post when she received a call from Zhao Nanqiao.
"Tao Tao, are you busy right now? Come shopping with me!"
"It's so early in the morning, don't you have to be with the crew today?"
"Don't even mention it! I've been working like a slave for my supervisor, so busy I completely forgot about the banquet at the Jiang family's house! I haven't even prepared a dress yet. You have great taste, come with me to choose one! It's an emergency, honey!!"
Ye Zhenzhen checked the time and simply told the all-knowing Assistant Song that she was going to accompany Zhao Nanqiao shopping.
"How about this champagne color?" Zhao Nanqiao held up a dress covered in lace in front of her and compared it to her own.
"It's not pretty, the lace is too complicated." Ye Zhenzhen glanced at it and immediately rejected it, then pulled her to continue shopping at the next store.
Zhao Nanqiao is 169cm tall. Her regular fitness routine and filming schedule have given her a very fit and beautiful figure. Overly elaborate and delicate dresses don't really suit her.
"Oh well, I'll just throw something on. I was going to wear my old one, but my mom scolded me, and I didn't want to listen to her nagging, so I ran away." Zhao Nanqiao, with his short hair sticking up in the air, was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes. He walked casually next to Ye Zhenzhen, one arm draped over her shoulder, and said nonchalantly.
"Why don't you order a few sets in advance? You've already graduated. Maybe your submitted work will win an award in a few days, and you'll wear this to the award ceremony?" Ye Zhenzhen patiently let her hang it up, thankful that she had changed into flat shoes for convenience while shopping today.
"I have no patience for all this. You know I've hated wearing skirts since I was little, and high heels are like torture devices!" After complaining, she shook Ye Zhenzhen and pleaded, "Isn't that what you're here for? My dear Tao Tao, you have such good taste. Just pick out a few more for me. I'll take care of all my future dresses!"
Ye Zhenzhen finally chose an olive green silk dress from D brand for Zhao Nanqiao. The asymmetrical shoulder design echoed the high slit of the skirt, and apart from the natural folds of the silk, there were no other embellishments.
As you move around, there's a sense of natural, flowing movement.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Ye Zhenzhen was more and more satisfied with the dress. It matched Zhao Nanqiao's temperament perfectly, making her look like a female warrior from ancient Greece, full of power.
Zhao Nanqiao, unusually, didn't object to wearing matching high heels. She turned around in front of the mirror, clearly very satisfied.
Inspired by this, Ye Zhenzhen chose another black women's suit for Zhao Nanqiao, which combined broad shoulders and a fitted waist. The shoulder lines were strong and straight, making her neck appear long and her waist slender. It showed a sense of strength while maintaining elegance and femininity.
Zhao Nanqiao stepped into black stilettos, paired with a large amount of gold jewelry chosen by Ye Zhenzhen, and the sales assistants around her were all stunned by her coolness.
"Wow, Mumu, this is exactly the kind of look that suits you! So beautiful and cool!!" Ye Zhenzhen was quite satisfied with the result. She admired it for a while and took several photos of her. Seeing that she was still winking at the shop assistant, she quickly pushed her into the fitting room. "Stop showing off! Go change your clothes. We still need to get our hair and makeup done!"
Just then, the phone rang. Zhao Nanqiao glanced at it, rolled her eyes, and thought, "I knew this man had ulterior motives! Why is he pursuing me so relentlessly?"
