She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Zhang Ma prepared a sumptuous breakfast. After everyone finished eating together, they all left to attend to their own business.

At 9:30, Su Maiqi drove to the headquarters building of Chenxing Jewelry.

"President Su! You're back! Everyone missed you so much!"

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Mr. Su, you look great!"

"President Su, we've heard about the project in Paris, it's amazing!"

Su Maiqi responded to everyone's greetings one by one, feeling this long-lost sense of belonging.

She walked into her office, and everything remained exactly as it had been when she left.

The green plants on her desk were still lush and green, the documents on the bookshelf were neatly arranged, and even her favorite crystal ornament was spotless.

Clearly, Assistant Chen is taking good care of things here.

"President Su, would you like to rest for a bit, or should we start the meeting immediately?"

Xiao Chen walked in carrying a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea, his face full of excitement.

"Let's get straight to the meeting." Su Maiqi took the teacup; the delicate scent of jasmine invigorated her. "Notify all department managers to meet in the conference room at ten o'clock."

In the conference room, department managers arrived one after another.

"Welcome back to China, Mr. Su!"

Everyone stood up and applauded, the applause was enthusiastic and sincere.

Su Maiqi looked around and saw the sincerity and expectation in everyone's eyes, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

"Thank you all for your hard work over the past six months." Her voice was gentle yet firm. "Today, I mainly want to hear work reports from each department to understand the company's overall operations."

The design department manager spoke first:

"Mr. Su, over the past six months, we've primarily focused on optimizing our product line and developing new products. According to market feedback, our 'Starry Night' series has seen stable sales, while the 'Moonlight' series has been particularly well-received by young consumers."

He opened his tablet and brought up a set of design drafts:

"We've also developed several affordable luxury products suitable for online sales, with stylish designs. We expect to officially launch them to the market next month."

Su Maiqi carefully examined the design drawings, a look of approval flashing in her eyes.

These new products maintain Chenxing's consistent elegant style while incorporating more fashionable elements, and they certainly have great market potential.

The marketing manager then reported:

"Mr. Su, our online and offline sales have been relatively stable over the past six months. Although the overall growth rate is not large, customer loyalty is constantly improving. The repurchase rate has increased by 15% compared to the same period last year."

She presented a set of detailed data analyses:

"We've also strengthened our partnerships with several leading livestreaming platforms, and the results have been excellent. In particular, those professional jewelry livestreamers have shown strong sales capabilities, bringing us many new customers."

Manager Chen from the finance department reported on the company's financial situation.

Data shows that although revenue growth has slowed, profit margins have improved and cash flow is healthy.

"This is mainly due to our meticulous cost control and optimized product structure," Manager Chen adjusted his glasses. "The proportion of high-margin products is constantly increasing."

Production Manager Li then highlighted the optimization of the supply chain:

"We have established closer partnerships with several key suppliers, which has not only ensured the quality of raw materials but also effectively controlled costs. At the same time, our production efficiency has also improved significantly."

After listening to the reports from each department, Su Maiqi had a better understanding of the situation.

Although the company's growth has indeed slowed down, this is exactly what she expected.

In the past two years, Chenxing has experienced a period of rapid expansion, and now it needs a process of digestion and settling down.

“Everyone has done an excellent job.” She stood up, her gaze lingering on each person’s face for a moment. “Although the growth rate has slowed, everyone’s work has been solid and steady.”

What Chenxing needs now is not blind expansion, but rather to strengthen its internal capabilities and improve its quality.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room and looked down at the bustling street below:

"The success of the Paris project has provided us with valuable international experience. This experience needs time to be digested and transformed. When the time is right, we will take even bigger steps."

Turning around, her gaze became firm and powerful:

"So, everyone, there's no need to rush. Taking it easy and building a solid foundation is more important than anything else."

"Furthermore," Su Maiqi sat down again, a warm smile on her face, "to thank everyone for their hard work over the past six months, the company has decided to give each department an additional cash bonus."

She gestured for Xiao Chen to distribute the pre-prepared documents:

"Please refer to the document for the specific amount. This is the company's recognition of your work, and we hope you will continue to maintain this enthusiasm."

Upon seeing the numbers on the document, everyone's faces lit up with surprise.

"Thank you, Mr. Su!"

"Long live President Su!"

The meeting room erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

After the meeting, Su Maiqi returned to her office and began dealing with the backlog of documents.

Although she participated in important decision-making via video conference during her time in Paris, there were still many details that required her personal attention.

At lunchtime, she ate with several department managers in the company cafeteria.

The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food, and the staff chatted and laughed, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

"Mr. Su, your project in Paris was truly amazing!" Xiao Wang from the design department said excitedly. "We've all seen the reports online; it says your design has received high praise internationally."

"Yes, they've brought honor to Chinese designers!" Xiao Zhang from the marketing department chimed in. "My WeChat Moments are flooded with their posts."

Su Maiqi smiled and waved her hand, "This is the result of teamwork, not just my achievement. Besides, this is just the beginning; many more challenges await us."

In the afternoon, she had further in-depth communication with various departments and learned about some specific business details.

As evening fell, I stepped out of the company building. The setting sun bathed the entire city in a golden-red hue.

Su Maiqi took a deep breath, savoring the familiar air.

Although Paris is beautiful and her work is very fulfilling, Yuncheng is her home. It's where her family, her career, and her adorable little Chengze live.

She was in a good mood on her drive home.

Today's meeting confirmed one thing for her—Chenxing has been operating very well during the six months she was away, and the team's cohesion is also very strong.

This gave her a lot of confidence.

Next, she plans to adopt a more flexible way of working.

I go to the company for half a day each day to handle important matters and decisions; the rest of the time I handle work in Paris online, while also spending more time with Xiao Chengze.

After all, the past six months in Paris, while fulfilling in terms of work, were also quite tiring.

Returning to Cloud City now will allow me to slow down my pace.

By the time we returned to the villa in the clouds, night had already fallen.

The living room was filled with Xiao Chengze's cheerful laughter and Zhang Ma's gentle coaxing.

"Mom's back!" Su Maiqi pushed open the door and called out with a smile.

Xiao Chengze was playing with building blocks on the carpet when he heard his mother's voice. He immediately dropped his toys and wobbled toward her.

"Mommy! Mommy!" he called out in his childish voice, his little face flushed, clearly having a lot of fun.

Su Maiqi squatted down and opened her arms to welcome her son's hug.

Little Chengze threw himself into her arms, his little hands tightly wrapped around her neck, and he babbled something in her ear.

"Did you miss Mommy?" Su Maiqi gently kissed her son's little face. "Mommy missed Chengze too."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "The young master was so well-behaved today. He ate well and slept soundly, just waiting for his mother to come home."

"Where's Daddy?" Su Maiqi looked around with Xiao Chengze in her arms, but didn't see that familiar figure.

“Young Master said he has an important meeting today and might not be back until very late,” Zhang Ma replied.

For the next few days, Su Maiqi followed this routine: spending the morning at home with Xiao Chengze, going to the company to handle work in the afternoon, and returning home in the evening to continue spending time with her family.

This pace of life makes her feel comfortable, allowing her to balance her career and enjoy the warmth of family.

But she gradually noticed a detail—Gu Tingyu seemed to be going out more often than before.

For the past six months or so, whether in Yuncheng or Paris, Gu Tingyu has spent most of his time with Chengze; he has had very little work to handle personally.

But this time when he returned to Yuncheng, he seemed to suddenly become busy again.

Su Maiqi didn't interfere much. When she wasn't busy, she would stay home with Xiao Chengze or take him for a walk outdoors.
