Upon hearing this, not only the members of the Designing Department but even Gu Panpan herself was astonished. “President Fang, are you going to be my assistant?”

A distinguished CEO acting as her assistant? It felt like a dream.

“President Fang, you really shouldn’t be Panpan’s assistant. Your status is not suitable…”

“If this gets out, people will make fun of us.”

Fang Yuan dismissed the concerns. “Just sign up.”

“President Fang…”

Gu Panpan was about to voice her hesitation when she heard Fang Yuan inquire, “Why? Do you think my level isn’t up to par? Is my skill insufficient? Or are you worried that I’ll impact your ranking?”

“No, no, no…” Gu Panpan wouldn’t entertain such thoughts. It was just that having President Fang as her assistant felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“Securing the top spot is the best way to repay me.” Fang Yuan assisted her because she recognized Panpan’s unique style and design insights. Despite facing the darker side of the industry, Panpan persisted in pursuing her dream with unwavering determination. Although lacking confidence and boldness in design, Fang Yuan believed she had great potential and was prepared to nurture her.

“President Fang…” Touched, Gu Panpan’s eyes welled up with tears. After a moment of hesitation, she promptly filled in her information. One minute before the registration deadline, she submitted the form, and the entire department erupted in cheers.

“You’ll definitely clinch the first place!”

“Honestly, your talent is impressive. With President Fang by your side, go for it boldly!”

“Even if issues arise, President Fang is there! There’s nothing she can’t handle!” “You’re incredibly fortunate to have President Fang as your assistant!” “Go, you’ll definitely make a name for yourself!”

Gu Panpan had never felt such a strong wave of expectations and well-wishes from everyone. Excitedly, she exclaimed, “Thank you, everyone. 1’11 give it my all!”

Gratefully, she looked at Fang Yuan. If not for Fang Yuan, she might have missed out on this incredible opportunity.

“Don’t get too sentimental. In the next few days after work, I’ll help you catch up on your knowledge,” Fang Yuan said calmly, “But not today. I have something to attend to tonight.”

“It’s okay, President Fang. I’m available anytime.” Gu Panpan never expected to encounter Fang Yuan, her benefactor, on her journey in design. Furthermore, she never anticipated that this benefactor would personally assist her in expanding her knowledge. She felt incredibly fortunate.

After work, Fang Yuan messaged Bo Yi, informing him that he didn’t need to pick her up for the next few days as she had some matters to attend to.

Subsequently, she called Qiao Xinhui. “Mom, I have something to take care of tonight. I won’t be home for dinner, and I might be home very late over the next few days.”

“Alright, alright. No problem. Enjoy your time with Yi, and don’t worry about the family.” Qiao Xinhui assumed the couple was going on a date.

“It’s work.”

It was about work? It wasn’t common for women to be so dedicated to their work. Qiao Xinhui chuckled, “Don’t overexert yourself. Make sure to eat on time. If you’re too busy, find someone else to help you.”

“Okay.” Fang Yuan spoke gently, “I’ll be occupied for the next few days. I’m participating in a competition…”

Qiao Xinhui chatted for a while before ending the call.

Shortly afterward, her phone rang again. Seeing it was her eldest son, she promptly answered. “You rascal, how long has it been since you called me? When are you coming back? It’s been a few days since I let the five of you go home to see your sister. Am I not upset…”

Just as she was about to give her eldest son a piece of her mind, she heard him say, “I’ll be home tonight.”

Qiao Xinhui was a bit surprised. “Tonight?” This was unexpected.

“Alright, I’m coming home for dinner.” Cheng Mohan, who had already prepared a gift, urged Ruan Nuo on the way home, saying, “Hurry up and drive faster.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xinhui quickly advised, “There’s no need to rush. Safety comes first.” This was wonderful news—her eldest son was finally returning home!

After ending the call, she instructed someone to prepare more food.

Cheng Yuqi, upon hearing her brother was coming home, felt ecstatic. She had been waiting at the entrance of their house for a while. Finally, her brother’s car arrived.

Ruan Nuo parked the car at the villa entrance and respectfully opened the door for Cheng Mohan. Witnessing the tall figure stepping out of the car, Cheng Yuqi exclaimed in delight, “Brother!”

The usually stern-faced man’s expression softened upon hearing her voice. After all, she was his younger sister, whom he had watched grow up. Before his biological sister returned, they all pampered Cheng Yuqi like a little princess, having shared 18 years of their sibling bond.

“You’re finally home. 1 missed you so much!” Cheng Yuqi expressed her joy. “You’re always overseas. It’s rare for you to come back.. Why don’t you stay at home for a few more days this time?”
