After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 297 Order Book Full

The next day, after finalizing the cooperation with Mr. Wen, I stood in front of the studio's floor-to-ceiling window, gently stroking my seven-month-old belly, but I felt a little uneasy.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, with thick, dark clouds hanging low, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment.

Although Mr. Wen's company had survived a fire, I still chose to cooperate with him on Qin Yu's recommendation. After all, I had been through so much with Mr. Wen this time.

Our jade brand just launched, and pre-orders have already exploded. I'm deeply moved by the enthusiasm and support of my fans, but the pressure that comes with it is also making it hard for me to breathe.

Xu Sisi and Xiaotiantian are extremely busy, one handling fan interaction and the other overseeing the supply chain. They are my right-hand women; without them, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep going.

"Sister Gu, the new batch of orders has been arranged, and the factory is working hard to finish them." Xu Sisi walked in carrying a stack of documents, her face showing a tired but still energetic smile.

I nodded, feeling a little guilty: "Thank you all for your hard work. Once this busy period is over, I'll treat you all to a good relaxation."

"Don't say that, it's what we should do." Little Sweetie poked her head out from outside the door, holding a cup of freshly made hot milk in her hand. "By the way, President Jiang specifically instructed us to make this, saying that you've been working too hard lately and need to replenish your nutrition."

I took the milk, a warmth spreading through my heart. Jiang Yichen? I didn't expect him to pull this stunt. He's so busy, yet he's still thinking about my health.

He's been busy with work lately, often working overtime until late at night, but every day when he gets home, he gently touches my belly and whispers a few words to the baby before he goes to rest.

I sat down at my desk, opened the files, and was about to continue working when my phone rang. It was a message from Jiang Yichen: "Honey, remember to eat on time and don't overwork yourself. I'll bring you food from your favorite restaurant tonight."

I looked at the screen, a smile unconsciously creeping onto my face, and replied, "Okay, don't overwork yourself, come back soon."

I put down my phone, touched my belly, and whispered, "Baby, Daddy always worries so much, but we're so happy, aren't we?"

The wind outside the window picked up, rustling the leaves as if in response to my words. I took a deep breath, and the unease in my heart seemed to dissipate somewhat with the wind. No matter what comes next, as long as they are by my side, I have the courage to face everything.

However, the good times didn't last long. One morning, Xu Sisi rushed into my office, her face grave: "Sister Gu, something's happened! 'Brilliant Jewelry' is poaching our team and has even spread rumors that our products have quality issues!"

I frowned, my heart sinking. Sure enough, in business, there are no permanent allies, only permanent interests. I took a deep breath and calmly said, "Sisi, go and reassure the team, don't let them panic. Little Sweetie, go check on 'Brilliant Jewelry' and see what they're up to."

They nodded and left. I leaned back in my chair, mentally calculating my next move. Just then, my phone rang. It was Jiang Yichen. His voice carried a hint of languor and concern: "Honey, are you busy? I just finished a meeting. I miss you."

I couldn't help but laugh, and my tone softened: "I'm busy, but hearing your voice makes me feel much better."

"That's good." Jiang Yichen's voice was tinged with amusement. "I heard that 'Brilliant Jewelry' is up to no good. Do you want me to help you deal with it?"

I shook my head, knowing he couldn't see, but still habitually said, "No need, I can handle it. But thank you for reminding me."

“You’re always so strong-willed,” Jiang Yichen sighed, his tone filled with affection. “But don’t forget, you still have me. If anything happens, be sure to tell me, don’t shoulder it all alone.”

My heart warmed, and I replied softly, "Okay, honey."

After hanging up the phone, I touched my belly and whispered, "Baby, Daddy is always so clingy, but Mommy loves it."

"Brilliant Jewelry" acted even faster than I expected. They not only poached my team but also spread rumors through the media, claiming that our jadeite was fake. Questions also began to arise in our fan groups, and order volume noticeably declined.

I immediately called a team meeting. Xu Sisi suggested, "Sister Gu, we can do a live stream to directly respond to the rumors and also showcase our product manufacturing process." Xiao Tiantian added, "Yes, I can also contact several authoritative certification agencies to endorse our products."

I nodded, thinking the plan was feasible. That evening, I sat in the live stream room, heavily pregnant, facing the camera, and smiled at my fans, saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Mo. Recently, there have been some rumors about our brand, and I'd like to take this opportunity to give everyone an explanation."

I had Xu Sisi demonstrate the product's production process, from sourcing the raw stones to polishing the finished product, with every step transparent and open. Xiao Tiantian then invited an appraisal expert to authenticate the product on the spot. The atmosphere in the live stream immediately became lively, with fans leaving numerous supportive comments.

"Sister Gu, we will always believe in you!"

"Support genuine products and resist malicious competition!"

Seeing the screen full of encouragement warmed my heart. After the live stream ended, the number of orders not only recovered but doubled.

However, the matter did not end there. A few days later, Xu Sisi rushed into my office again, holding a document in her hand: "Sister Gu, look at this!"

I took the document, glanced at it, and frowned. It turned out that "Brilliant Jewelry" had been manipulating a group of online trolls behind the scenes, attempting to suppress our brand through malicious negative reviews and fake complaints. What angered me even more was that they had also tried to poach our core designer.

"Sisi, go contact a lawyer and prepare to sue them for unfair competition," I calmly instructed. "Xiaotian, go contact the media and expose their behavior."

They nodded and left. I leaned back in my chair, feeling a bit weary. Just then, my phone rang again. It was Jiang Yichen. His voice carried a hint of languor and concern: "Honey, I just finished a meeting. I miss you. How are things over there?"

I smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, just a little tired."

"Rest when you're tired, don't push yourself too hard." Jiang Yichen's voice was full of concern. "I'll go home early tonight and bring you something delicious."

My heart warmed, and I replied softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

A few days later, our legal team officially filed a lawsuit against "Brilliant Jewelry," and the media also reported on their unfair competition. Fan support grew even stronger, and orders surged again.
