Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 862 Little Ying is blushing
Thursday, March 2th.

Because Li Luo spent the whole day with Yan Zhusheng yesterday, it was Ying Chanxi's turn today.

After their usual morning run and breakfast at home, Ying Chanxi couldn't wait to drag Li Luo to the basement of their apartment building and into the underground parking garage.

As Li Luo got into the passenger seat of Ying Chanxi's Audi A8, he was about to fasten his seatbelt when Ying Chanxi, who was in the driver's seat, eagerly leaned over and personally fastened it for him.

"Where do you want to go today?" Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi, who was leaning over, and after she fastened his seatbelt, he couldn't help but lift her snow-white chin and kiss her.

Ying Chanxi let out two soft moans and instantly became engrossed in the kiss. After their lips parted and returned to the driver's seat, she heard Li Luo ask her a question about the previous topic. She then rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who said we were going out to play? I'm going to work."

"what?"

Li Luo was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Didn't I promise to spend the whole day with you? Why are you going to the company?"

“There are a lot of things that need my attention.” Ying Chanxi looked at Li Luo with a hint of exasperation. “You don’t think the company is so easy to manage, do you?”

What impact would missing one day have?

"If we can go, we should go." Ying Chanxi started the car and headed towards the company, saying as she drove, "First of all, there's your film and television rights; we're still negotiating."

"We've had several online meetings and some communication, so we've made some progress."

"We've arranged with Tencent Video to meet offline before the new year to finalize some specific details."

"Hmm." Li Luo nodded after listening. "This matter is indeed important, but you don't need to spend all your time at the company, do you?"

Ying Chanxi glanced at him and then continued, "And there's also the matter of the seminar on the work 'Gu Dao Chang Qing' that you just gave me these past two days."

"I have already contacted Secretary Wang, and we are working together to advance the selection of several teachers to participate in the seminar, as well as the time and location of the seminar."

"Because holding a seminar requires teachers to fully read and understand the relevant content of the work, the specific time can only be set after the new year, otherwise there will not be enough time, after all, 'Gu Dao Chang Qing' has two or three million words."

"Then I contacted Uncle Xu and asked him to recommend a few suitable teachers. One of them is someone you and your senior should be quite familiar with."

"Huh?" Li Luo raised an eyebrow, then instantly realized, "Teacher Si?"

"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded gently. "I heard she's your online novel elective course teacher. With her there, the direction of the discussion about the works can be controlled."

“That’s true.” Li Luo nodded in agreement. “With Teacher Si around, it’s quite nice.”

Li Luo was quite satisfied with the arrangement, and Ying Chanxi smiled when she saw him nod.

As Ying Chanxi drove the car into the underground parking lot of Times Square, she got out of the car and continued, "And there's also... um... the matter with Mom."

"Because we plan to take over my mother's studio next year, I discussed it with her and we started to take over some of the studio's business in advance."

"This includes our company's business department members temporarily exchanging positions with their business department employees there, so they can get to know each other's job duties."

"Mom's original variety show, advertising, magazine, and endorsement business will still be handled by the studio."

"But the liaison and cooperation with Douyin have been entirely handed over to us, and your account and Zhusheng's account will be kept in contact with Douyin."

"Isn't Mom going to sing your new song's adapted version on the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

"At that time, Douyin will also coordinate with the Spring Festival Gala and related Spring Festival activities, giving it a lot of promotional support."

"You and Zhusheng, especially Zhusheng's account, will need to prepare a plan to take over a portion of the traffic conversion."

Ying Chanxi spoke eloquently and logically, demonstrating a very detailed and clear understanding of Douyin's business plans, perfectly showcasing her rapid progress over the past few months.

But it's not over yet.

“Of course, there’s more to it than that.” Ying Chanxi took Li Luo’s hand and led her into the elevator, heading up to the tenth floor. She continued, “There’s also the progress on the ‘Beginning’ production team.”

"The production team is managed by Director Wang and his team, so I don't need to worry too much. But regarding the actors, I asked Xiaowen to keep a close eye on things on set."

"Besides taking good care of our own two artists, we've also found two promising extras. We're currently considering them, and we'll have to let you take a look when the time comes."

"Moreover, filming for 'The Beginning' will probably wrap up in another week or two, and you'll need to attend the wrap party as well."

"After all, we invested a large portion of the funding this time, and both the male and female leads are artists under our management."

"So I discussed it with Director Wang and decided to let Reign Culture arrange the wrap party, so we need to book the hotel in advance for the next two days."

"In addition, there is a physical book related to your 'Da Qian Patrol Night Division' 100,000 average subscriptions. This is a joint effort between Reign Culture, Qidian, and the publisher."

"Therefore, I need to keep track of the progress in this area in real time."

"I've even been considering whether we could develop the merchandise for these works ourselves, contacting manufacturers ourselves, or collaborating with Qidian?"

"I remember your uncle's family used to have a factory that made food delivery packaging or something, right? I wonder if they're interested in that kind of business."

"And also, besides work, Auntie is going back home with Uncle this year, right? Shouldn't we prepare a gift or something?"

"Um...and..."

Ying Chanxi talked on and on, and Li Luo felt a bit overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the memory palace, he felt like he would have exploded.

Besides what was mentioned above, after Ying Chanxi entered the office, while handling daily affairs, she talked with Li Luo about Xu Yinghuan and Cheng Xin's advertising business.

They then discussed whether Reign Culture could also get involved if Xu Rongsheng wanted to establish an employment-related research center at Qianjiang University in the future.

After all, many university research centers maintain collaborations with businesses in the community, which benefits both sides.

Sitting beside him, Li Luo watched Ying Chanxi, who was efficient and capable at her desk, handling various trivial matters while also explaining things to him in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

In his previous life, Ying Chanxi, whom he hadn't seen for many years, would probably have grown up to be just as outstanding as he is now, under Ying Zhicheng's tutelage.

It's just a pity that I didn't get to see Ying Chanxi grow up to be mature and outstanding in my past life, but now my wish has come true.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ying Chanxi realized that she had said a lot, but Li Luo next to her was not saying anything.

Turning my head, I saw that the guy was smiling, looking at me with a relieved and slightly happy expression.

This made Ying Chanxi blush slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to continue looking at Li Luo. She lowered her head and whispered, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Of course it's because she's so beautiful," Li Luo said with a smile. "And it's a different kind of beauty than usual."

"W-what do you mean?" Ying Chanxi subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, blinking her eyes, unsure of where to look. She felt happy inside when Li Luo praised her like that, but she was too embarrassed to show it on her face.

So she became quite shy and coy. "There's a saying that goes, 'A man is most handsome when he's working seriously.'" Li Luo leaned closer to Ying Chanxi, walked behind her, bent down and hugged her, lifting her chin with one hand to prevent her from looking down.

He continued, "But on the other hand, there is a unique kind of beauty in girls when they are working seriously."

"You were really beautiful when you were talking to me about those work details."

"I was a little stunned. I never expected my Xixi to be so amazing."

"What...what are you saying..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks grew increasingly red and shy, but Li Luo had lifted her chin and she couldn't lower her head, so she could only let the redness on her face keep climbing up to her ears until it became burning hot.

Li Luo couldn't resist and lowered his head to kiss her, sealing her soft lips.

It must be said that there is indeed a unique kind of fun and excitement in the office.

In particular, Ying Chanxi specially changed into a neat gray suit when he went out so that he could appear more dignified at work.

This suit, worn by Ying Chanxi, a freshman in college, exudes a mature charm, yet it cannot completely conceal her slightly immature temperament.

The flavors blended together, presented in a serious setting like the office, yet Li Luo tasted them all in a single kiss, creating a truly unique experience.

Especially when there was a knock on the office door, Ying Chanxi hurriedly pushed Li Luo aside, blushed, patted her cheeks to make the blush on her face disappear quickly, and then called out, "Come in."

After her personal secretary came in, she handed the documents to Ying Chanxi, gave a brief report, and was then waved out by Ying Chanxi.

As the office door closed again, Ying Chanxi immediately turned to look at Li Luo and glared at him, annoyed: "It's all your fault! I felt like the way she looked at me was weird just now."

"That's just your imagination." Li Luo sat back in his seat, crossed his arms and legs, watching Ying Chanxi's shy and reproachful appearance with great interest, savoring the delicious taste from earlier, and couldn't help but laugh.

Unfortunately, we haven't eaten Xixi yet.

Otherwise, I'd really like to try it in the office...

Thinking about this, Li Luo felt that he was a bit abnormal.

It's all Xu Youyu's fault; he led him astray. He wasn't like this before.

"Are you working here this morning?" Li Luo asked, moving closer to Ying Chanxi.

"If you're bored, you can help me stamp this." Ying Chanxi took out a stack of documents, slapped them in front of Li Luo, took out the company seal, and handed it to him. "You can take a look too."

"Alright." Li Luo took the official seal and helped Ying Chanxi get busy.

He never expected that his date with Xixi would actually take place in the company office, where he would be reviewing official documents...

But that's precisely why Li Luo likes Ying Chanxi.

This girl is always exceptionally serious and hardworking in her life and work, and she never slacks off just because her family is well-off.

Especially when this matter concerns him, his seriousness and perseverance seem particularly evident...

Thinking of this, Li Luo was moved. She pursed her lips, and many things came to mind, followed by a stream of thoughts.

I wonder what happened to Ying Chanxi in his previous life?
According to my mother, she has never been married, and has never even been in a relationship.

Has she also grown into the strong woman she is today?
Li Luo's thoughts wandered, and he handed over the task of stamping the official seal to the memory palace for automatic processing. He quickly came back to his senses.

It must be said that Ying Chanxi is indeed very capable.

Despite having no prior experience in managing a company, he quickly grew into a qualified CEO in just half a year, managing the entire company in an orderly manner.

Today's Reign Culture is no longer the empty shell company it once was. Its internal business has split into multiple lines, and each area requires careful oversight from Ying Chanxi.

If Li Luo were to handle this on his own, he could manage with his memory palace, but he certainly wouldn't be as relaxed as he is now.

but……

"Xixi."

"Hmm?" Ying Chanxi heard Li Luo call her, and while still busy approving documents, she casually replied, "What's up?"

"Being this busy every day, and having to deal with your studies on top of that, isn't it too tiring?" Li Luo suddenly said. "How about we find a suitable candidate and let him..."

"What do you mean?" Ying Chanxi suddenly interrupted him, staring at Li Luo's face with a serious and nervous expression, a hint of inexplicable panic in her eyes. "W-Was there something I did wrong?"

"No, no, no, of course not." Seeing her expression, Li Luo quickly explained, "Of course you did very well, I didn't mean to criticize you."

"I just feel a little sorry for you seeing how busy you are every day."

“Look at how I’ve been having this winter break, just staying home eating and drinking every day, having a really relaxing time. But when I think about how hard you work every day, I feel a little guilty.”

"so……"

“No need.” Ying Chanxi’s eyes were firm and her attitude was serious. “I like my current state very much.”

"Li Luo, please stop treating me like a little girl, okay?"

"If you won't let me come to the company, am I supposed to stay home every day during winter break?"

"I never thought that kind of life was good."

"In life, you should always find something valuable and meaningful to pursue."

"Zhusheng loves music, and my senior also likes to write online novels. I feel very happy with what I am like now."

Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi and, after hearing her words, couldn't help but pinch her cheek to ease her seriousness: "I'm just afraid that you're doing all this simply for me. If that's the case..."

"Don't think so much." Ying Chanxi threw herself into Li Luo's arms and hugged him tightly. "I'm working so hard, of course it's for you, but aren't we one? For you is for me, what's the difference?"

Instead of feeling sorry for me, why not come and accompany me to work occasionally? I think that with you by my side, work is quite interesting.

"So please stop saying that someone else can replace me, okay?"

"Hmm... I'll listen to you." Li Luo sighed and gently patted her back. "I won't say it again."

"Then come shopping with me this afternoon," Ying Chanxi said softly, leaning against Li Luo. "I've tried my best to finish everything I needed to do today in the morning, so you'll have to spend the afternoon with me, okay?"

"it is good."
