Chapter 479: Four hundred and seventy-nine Xiaobai liquor_1

After dinner, Ji Pianran wanted to continue working, as today’s meeting room discussions hadn’t concluded.

However, under Gu Chen’s strong insistence, Ji Pianran had to put aside the work at hand.

She chose to go home with Gu Chen and spend some time with Tangtang.

When they arrived home, they found Tangtang sitting there very obediently, watching cartoons by herself.

Gu Chen had not taken Tangtang away, thinking that she would be scared all alone at home.

So he made a special trip to tuck Tangtang into bed before leaving, only to find that Tangtang had simply come back downstairs.

Truly, the little girl had grown up and now had her own ideas and opinions.

"Mama, why did you come back so late today?" Tangtang asked Ji Pianran.

The little one hadn’t seen her mother all day and was still as clingy as when she was younger, eagerly hanging on Ji Pianran’s neck.

The moment Ji Pianran saw Tangtang, all the bad mood from the day at the company disappeared.

"Mama had some things to do today, so I came back late. I’m sorry, Tangtang, for not being there to have dinner with you."

Ji Pianran spoke to Tangtang with patience, even apologizing to her for the incident.

After hearing this, Tangtang giggled, "It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as Mama comes back."

She was so understanding it made one wonder how to properly cherish her.

"Have you had dinner, Mama? If not, you can ask Papa to cook for you."

The little one was asking her mother if she had eaten, which was a very warm gesture.

Unexpectedly, the question suddenly shifted to Gu Chen.

Neither Gu Chen nor Ji Pianran had expected this.

"You little rascal, why don’t you go do it yourself," Gu Chen pretended to be angry and questioned Tangtang.

Tangtang seemed a bit embarrassed after hearing this, but quickly cooed to Gu Chen like a spoiled child, "Not at all, Papa. In the future, Tangtang will cook for you too, and then I’ll cook for both of you."

Tangtang had learned to charm; seeing Gu Chen’s angry look, she took the initiative to cajole him.

That scene was indescribable, somewhat amusing to hear.

But Gu Chen could still feel that Tangtang was genuinely kind-hearted and said those words from deep within her heart.

"Alright, Tangtang, hurry up and go to sleep. Mama has already eaten," Ji Pianran said, smiling as she patted Tangtang’s head, then tried to lift Tangtang up with one hand.

Embarrassingly, she couldn’t lift her at all.

It was as if she could clearly sense that Tangtang had grown up, even her body felt heavier.

In the end, Ji Pianran had to use both hands to pick up Tangtang and take her to the bedroom.

Then Gu Chen and Ji Pianran hurried back to their bedroom as well.

Ji Pianran was exhausted from the long day, now dragging her weary body.

"I’m so tired today. The people at the company really don’t give me peace of mind," Ji Pianran said as she lay in bed, unable to help herself.

"Is that so? Take it easy, I believe all this will pass, and one day everything will get better," Gu Chen said to Ji Pianran.

Ji Pianran nodded after hearing this, "I understand, it’s just that I’m quite tired right now, I even feel like having a drink."

Speaking of drinking, she hadn’t touched alcohol in who knows how long.

She didn’t drink at all in her day-to-day life, and as for bad habits like smoking and drinking, Ji Pianran had none.

Sometimes the company would have business interactions with other companies, but she never participated because it meant drinking, and she preferred to spend her time in her own cozy home.

"Drinking isn’t good for your health, but I can make you a cup of coffee,"

Gu Chen said to Ji Pianran with a smile at that moment.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran almost couldn’t help but punch him right in the face.

"You go drink your coffee, so annoying," Ji Pianran said.

Ji Pianran had experienced just how intense Gu Chen’s coffee could be.

After drinking Gu Chen’s coffee, one could forget about sleeping at all, simply unable to fall asleep.

"You really are annoying, don’t tell me you’re thinking it again," Ji Pianran said, when suddenly, something occurred to her.

She looked at Gu Chen a bit fearfully, uncertain about what he was thinking.

But soon enough, Gu Chen’s various actions proved one thing: he didn’t need to think at all because he was truly a man of action, always doing whatever he thought of right away.

This left Ji Pianran with no choice but to drag her weary body along and cooperate with Gu Chen.

Two hours later, Ji Pianran lay down happily, her mood incredibly uplifted.

Although the process was full of ups and downs, in the end, Ji Pianran didn’t feel any discomfort.

Gu Chen lay on the bed as well, silent at that time.

However, Ji Pianran’s question kept echoing in his mind.

Alcohol!

Before then, Gu Chen hadn’t really delved deeply into the business of alcohol.

He felt that there were already quite a few alcohol brands and factories.

There was no need for him to invest too much time in this area.

But since Ji Pianran brought it up, Gu Chen began to seriously consider the issue.

Was there still a market for alcoholic drinks? The answer was a definite yes, as alcohol would always have a market no matter what.

The only question was, how to make one’s own alcoholic drinks hotter and more readily accepted?

Gu Chen quickly thought of a problem, or rather, a brand.

In those years, everyone was desperate to make their alcoholic drinks taste better, thinking that if their alcohol tasted better, they would surely attract more customers.

But unexpectedly, there was a brand that did the exact opposite: they made the worst tasting alcohol but created a legendary marketing path.

This wasn’t just any off-brand alcohol but Xiao Baijiu.

A drink almost universally loathed by middle-aged people, yet, it easily captured the young adult market.

The charm of Xiao Baijiu lay not just in the drink itself, but in the interesting bottle design, or more specifically, the paper wrapped around the bottle, the paper that bore a phrase.

"I am who I am, a firework blooming just for you,"

"Beijing drifters, unafraid of solitude, living a meaningful life,"

"The purpose of striving isn’t solely to make money, but to realize one’s value in this world."

...

More such inspiring quotes like these came from the packaging of Xiao Baijiu.

You could say that young people, upon hearing these words, would be irresistibly drawn to them.

Because these words were truly moving, able to express not just the bitterness of love but also the harshness of life.
