Ye Chong had never been so absent-minded at work.
The general manager of the subsidiary company spoke eloquently on the stage. After finishing the seasonal summary, he began to talk about the second phase of the business plan.
Just as he was talking excitedly about the children's park project, Ye Chong interrupted him, "A children's park planning project?"
The general manager of the subsidiary company was stunned for a few seconds. Seeing that his boss was paying attention to this project, he instantly became more eager to talk about the plan for this project.
Everyone lowered their heads to record the key points of the meeting. President Ye seemed to be paying attention to the children's project.
Ye Chong wondered what the little one was doing.
After the meeting, Ye Chong instructed in a deep voice, "Give Vivi an internal call."
"Okay, President Ye."
When the assistant picked up the intercom, Ye Chong changed his mind. "Wait, there's no need to call."
He went over to take a look.
Before he entered the office, he heard laughter mixed with the innocent laughter of children.
This was different from what he had imagined. The little dumpling seemed to be... quite happy?
Ye Chong deliberately walked quietly to the office door. He stood quietly and peeked inside. It was the afternoon break. Le Bao was sitting in Vivi's arms, playing with a child's brain-enhancing toy with a serious expression.
Le Bao untied these things in less than two moves. She raised her hand high and happily showed off her spoils of war. "Is Bao Bao very powerful?"
The adults at the side were very supportive and praised, "Le Bao is awesome!"
She covered her face with her chubby hands and bared her white teeth. "I'm so shy when you praise me like this!"
Vivi was amused. "Then should we still praise Bao Bao?"
She nodded without hesitation. "You have to praise me!"
Everyone laughed again.
Until a low cough came from outside the door. "Ahem!"
Le Bao jumped down from Vivi's arms and ran toward Ye Chong with open arms. She dove into Ye Chong's arms like a swallow in a forest. "Daddy!"
"Have you been good?" Ye Chong asked.
"Good! Bao Bao is very obedient!"
Everyone was surprised to see Ye Chong let her do this. Then, they saw Ye Chong pick up the child and carry her in his arms, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
The high and mighty President Ye seemed to have become much more down-to-earth. He thanked everyone. "Sorry for causing you trouble. I'll take this guy away first."
"President Ye, you're too polite. Le Bao is very obedient and doesn't make a fuss."
"That's right. She's only three years old, but she's so obedient. She's like heaven and earth compared to my nephew."
"Hearing what you said, I want to have a daughter in the future!"
Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Vivi left with the two, smiling at Ye Chong. "Le Bao is very smart. The toy I gave her was for my five-year-old child to play with, but she actually played with it very well."
Ye Chong felt a little proud. "What are you playing with so smoothly?"
At this point, Le Bao remembered to return the toy in her hand to her. "It's Auntie Vivi's baby's toy. Bao Bao borrowed it."
Ye Chong took a look. Although he had five adopted sons, he had never seen such a thing in his house. "You like this kind?"
Le Bao was thinking about how she used to play with real guns and bullets. This little toy was not even fun, but when Ye Chong asked, she could only nod her head to express her liking, and returned the toy to Vivi. "Thank you, Auntie Vivi!"
"You're welcome." Vivi took the things and saw that her long sleeves had slipped down again, so she rolled them up for her. After a few seconds of hesitation, she reminded Ye Chong, "President Ye, I think Le Bao's clothes don't fit her well. The sleeves keep sliding down."
Le Bao was still wearing Ye Zhao's clothes. The sleeves were rolled up a few times and were tied up on her forearm. The long hem of her clothes was tied up into a small knot before she could wear it.
Ye Chong frowned in disgust. He could not remember whose clothes it was. "Who gave you such ugly clothes?"
Le Bao lowered her head and tugged at her wide collar. "These are Big Brother's clothes. Le Bao's clothes are dirty. There are no other clothes at home to wear."
"Don't you know how to buy clothes if you don't have them? Is it because there is no shopping mall in this world, or because our family does not have money?"
Le Bao swore that these were the most touching words she had ever heard in her two lifetimes!
As she had no clothes to wear, Ye Chong put aside his work and drove her to the biggest mall in B City.
The third floor of the mall was filled with clothes. Ye Chong walked into the mall with Le Bao. From the moment she got into the elevator in the basement, she was constantly being stared at by others.
A tall and cold man in a suit and leather shoes holding a little girl in an ill-fitting dress. This combination looked very strange.
Ye Chong did not care about the gazes of others as he led Le Bao out of the elevator. How could the child he raised not have any decent clothes?
They walked into a clothing store with a well-known international brand, and the staff immediately came to welcome them warmly.
Ye Chong pushed the little thing over. "Choose a few sets of clothes for her."
The saleswoman, who was used to seeing rich people, could tell that the man in front of her was either rich or noble. She immediately started promoting to Ye Chong and his daughter with 120% enthusiasm.
"Do you like clothes or dresses? Do you have any clothes that you're used to wearing?"
The salesperson brought over a few pieces of clothing. "You can let the baby try these on. They are all our latest designs!"
Le Bao did not have any particular requirements as long as it was comfortable. When she saw that Ye Chong was about to hand over a lace skirt, she quickly stopped him. "Le Bao doesn't want a dress that's too flowery!"
Ye Chong's hand paused, and he changed direction. He picked up a piece of clothing and gestured to Le Bao. "I think this one is okay."
Straight male aesthetics! Le Bao's eyelids twitched. "Don't wear all-button clothes."
"This is troublesome!" Ye Chong frowned. "Then you choose. I'll take this call."
As for clothes, she still preferred comfortable, simple, and elegant, regardless of whether it was for adults or children.
She casually picked up a few children's clothes that looked good. The salesperson coaxed her, "Baby, let's go to the changing room. I'll help you change, okay?"
Le Bao quickly raised her hand and crossed it in front of her chest to refuse. "I'll change it myself when Daddy comes back."
The sales assistant smiled and was about to speak when there seemed to be a dispute on the other side of the shop. The sales assistant stood up and looked over. Her expression tensed up and she quickly instructed her, "Baby, sit here obediently and don't move!"
"Yes, yes!" Le Bao nodded her head vigorously. As soon as the others left, she jumped down from her chair and looked around.
There were all kinds of children's toys on the shelves. Le Bao saw a familiar old friend, a cute plastic AK gun model.
Just as she reached out to take it, a chubby figure suddenly rushed over and tried to snatch the thing from her hand.
Le Bao's figure was nimble. She hugged the gun and turned to the side to avoid his perverted hands. Seeing that he did not get anything, the little fatty stomped his feet anxiously. "Give me the gun! I want this thing!"
Seeing this kid's unreasonable manner, Le Bao did not want to bother with him at all. "No, I got it first!"
