Chapter 581 : Ethereal Radiance
"I really don't want to get up this early~"
Ling Ning pulled back the covers, shivering as she felt the cold air.
Without further thought, she quickly put on the jacket she had prepared and gently shook her daughter awake.
Her daughter had snuck into her bed again last night. Ling Ning didn't know what to say about it.
Sensing something, Ling Ye slowly opened her eyes to see her Mom's beautiful smiling face. She immediately hugged her Mom, seemingly wanting to sleep more.
Ling Ning helplessly patted her daughter's bottom, saying, "Ye Ye, no more sleeping in. You'll be late!"
Hearing this, Ling Ye knew it was time to get up, but she still didn't want to. However, she had no choice since she needed to go to school.
To be honest, she could skip school entirely. Couldn't she just rest for three years and then take the high school entrance exam?
Ling Ye sighed softly, squirmed a bit, then decisively threw off the covers. If she stayed in bed any longer, she'd never get up.
Seeing her daughter rise, Ling Ning left to get ready.
By the time Ling Ye had dressed and washed up, Ling Ning had prepared her breakfast.
Looking at her fully dressed Mom, Ling Ye asked curiously, "Mom, are you leaving so early today?"
"Yes, there might be some urgent matters~ So Mom's leaving first. Remember to lock the door when you go out, Ye Ye." As Ling Ning changed her shoes, she suddenly added, "Oh, and please take care of the laundry in the washing machine. I forgot to start it last night."
Ling Ye's eyes lit up at her Mom's words, and she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Mom. I've got it covered!"
Ling Ning smiled at her daughter, then left. As she passed Xia You's door, she instinctively paused, but quickly remembered she wasn't going to school today.
Shaking her head helplessly, Ling Ning set off again, feeling that today would be very busy.
Due to the time constraint, Ling Ning took a taxi directly to the company. Just as she got out of the car, her phone rang.
"Hello, Ling Ning? Could you bring me some breakfast when you come to the company... yawn~"
"Sister Qin Qing, don't tell me you stayed up all night again?" Ling Ning said helplessly.
"I... I just stayed up a little late, that's all. I did sleep, you know~" Qin Qing's voice became a bit evasive, as if Ling Ning had seen through her.
From Qin Qing's tone, Ling Ning knew she must have pulled another all-nighter. Although she wanted to rush to the company and make Qin Qing sleep, she still needed to buy breakfast. Fortunately, there was a place nearby.
After buying breakfast, Ling Ning went straight to the company. Perhaps due to the early hour, the office was eerily quiet. She entered the passcode, opened the door, and headed directly to the office.
After knocking gently, Ling Ning heard Qin Qing's tired voice from inside: "Is that Ling Ning? Come in~"
Opening the office door revealed a messy interior and an ethereal-looking Qin Qing, clearly having pulled an all-nighter.
"Ling Ning, you're finally here. I'm starving~" Qin Qing, who had been looking at documents, gazed at Ling Ning like a person dying of thirst in the desert spotting water.
Ling Ning casually placed the breakfast in front of Qin Qing and said helplessly, "You said you didn't stay up, but look at your state."
Qin Qing chuckled lightly, ignoring Ling Ning's lecture and starting to eat. In fact, Ling Ning had been lecturing her almost daily recently, and she had developed immunity to it.
Seeing her words had no effect, Ling Ning rolled her eyes and began tidying up the office. How had it become such a mess in the short time she hadn't been here?
"I'm telling you, Sister Qin Qing, you should get a secretary to help organize these things," Ling Ning said as she cleaned.
"Secretary? Aren't you my secretary, Ling Ning?" Qin Qing said with a light laugh.
"Even if I am, I can't come to the office every day now."
"Eh!? From what you're saying, does that mean you've agreed to what I asked you last time?" Qin Qing looked at Ling Ning with interest.
Hearing Qin Qing's words, Ling Ning seemed to recall something and sighed lightly, "Sister Qin Qing, what you mentioned is still far off for me. Let's talk about it when I'm close to graduating."
"Alright then~" Qin Qing just smiled, not pressing the matter further.
By the time Qin Qing finished breakfast, Ling Ning had mostly finished tidying up. Of course, this was just a rough clean-up; a thorough organization would have to wait for when they had more time.
After disposing of the trash, Ling Ning returned to Qin Qing's office. Seeing Qin Qing frowning deeply, she asked curiously, "Sister Qin Qing, what are you looking at?"
Given Qin Qing's usual demeanor when handling matters, it was unusual for her to appear so troubled. Ling Ning wondered what difficult issue she had encountered.
"It's nothing much, really. I'm just thinking about whether to invite a celebrity to promote our latest winter clothing line."
"And? Who are you considering?"
"We were actually planning to ask so-and-so, but unfortunately, although they were interested, their schedule doesn't allow it. So I'm thinking about who else might be suitable. Ling Ning, help me brainstorm, and by the way, they can't be too expensive."
Ling Ning nodded thoughtfully. So that was it. Getting a celebrity for promotion did seem like a good choice.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and Ling Ning smiled faintly, "Sister Qin Qing, what do you think about Bai Yiyue? She's having a concert in our city soon. I think it would be great if she could do a promotion then~"
"Huh!?"
