The next day,
After his daily therapy, Yu Chen went straight to school and fetched his sons. Little Ran and Rui asked him if they could come with him and to their delight, their father immediately agreed.
The twins looked happy and by the time they arrived at Star Castle, the employees who were anticipating their boss' arrival were shocked. They were actually quite tensed as they waited. Even if their new boss seemed to be not that scary based on what he showed them yesterday, they still couldn't help but feel the immense pressure. His presence was simply quite unbearable for them.
But as they looked at him that day, walking like a perfect sculpture towards them while holding the hands of two adorable princes, their hearts simply melted. Invisible hearts appeared in their eyes especially the ladies. The presence of the two little buns dramatically diminished the naturally cold and domineering aura coming from Yu Chen and the result was quite satisfying.
The employees didn't look that stiff anymore.
Yu Chen was beaming in satisfaction when he saw their reaction. It looked like he had to bring the little buns with him to work from now on.
"Long time no see," Little Rui smiled at the employees as he waved his hand on them. He was acting so prince-like and he was utterly adorable.
In the last four months, Xiaolei never brought the twins in Star Castle again since that day they were introduced as heirs of Yu Empire. Her employees in Star Castle adored the twins so much when Xiaolei was bringing them there. Of course, all the members of I.x.U weren't exempted. They too adored the twins because they were smart and simply adorable.
That was why the employees missed the twins so much. They used to play and carry them during their break time but now that they knew that the boys were actually princes, they could only smile back and wave at them like they were their die-hard fans.
The meeting that was held that day were a lot better than yesterdays. The employees weren't stammering or sweating in fear anymore. Having the little buns with them during the meeting even if they were just reading books quietly in the corner was a huge help because the employees were not that scared anymore, they even openly gave their ideas.
Yu Chen, was new to all of these himself. He was a tyrant boss in his own company. A boss who really doesn't care about his employees. He wouldn't even bat an eye firing anyone who would make even the simplest mistake. He would've never thought that one day, he would end up being the one adjusting for the sake of his employees. He would've never thought that one day, he would be sitting there listening to his employees without interrupting them just to reject their ideas harshly. He found it strange and time consuming but in the end, seeing them beaming in motivation surprised him.
The meeting wasn't tensed and painfully serious, it was light and easy instead. But for some reason he found it quite satisfying and his mood was unbelievably good. This was honestly a new experience for him and he didn't dislike it.
When the meeting ended, everyone was hyped up to go and work. Yu Chen was a little impressed with their spirits. He didn't know that Xiaolei's people were all so dedicated. How did she managed to hire these type of people? No wonder this company still did well despite Xiaolei being extremely busy with Yu Empire…
"Daddy, where are our big bros?" Rui voice rang inside the office, pulling Yu Chen's thought back to the present. "We missed them too."
"They're not here right now," Yu Chen replied as he looked at his watch. "But they might be back after thirty minutes."
Thirty minutes didn't take long to pass and as Yu Chen said, the boys arrived. They went out for another rehearsal for their comeback stage which would be held tomorrow night.
The boys were tired but the first thing they did when they came back was to go and see how many views did their music video which was released last midnight gathered over these past fifteen hours.
To their surprise, their MV broke their own records. They couldn't believe that they actually already gathered millions views and not even a day had passed yet.
"Whoah!!" all the members were dumbstruck. They all knew that one of the reason behind this success was the heavy promotion their new CEO had done.
"I can't believe it! Mr. Yu really is so damn amazing and powerful!!" Song Xiaoyi, the group's maknae[1] exclaimed in astonishment when suddenly, a deep voice echoed from behind them.
"No matter how much promotion we do, if the viewers don't like it, it will never reach real success." Yu Chen said. He was leaning by door as he looked at them. "Your music video succeeded because the people fell in love with it. It's all because of everyone's hard work. Most especially all of you. You all did well." He added and his words touched them hard. Some of them even teared up.
Suddenly, they all stood up in a line and then bowed at Yu Chen, catching him off guard. "Thank you very much for believing in us, boss!" they said simultaneously in an energetic and sincere voice and Yu Chen was a bit taken aback. He was not used with all these at all.
"Well… this is still just the beginning." Yu Chen said after clearing his throat. "I know you already know what you need to do."
"Yes, boss! We will definitely do our very best not to disappoint you!"
Yu Chen was once again taken aback. He suddenly didn't know what to say. Gladly, the little buns had entered the room and jumped onto their favorite big brothers.
The boys' attention immediately shifted to the little buns, causing Yu Chen to secretly sigh in relief.
Gu Wei who was watching Yu Chen the entire time was grinning like an idiot. "Boss, you're doing well, very well. I'm proud of you, boss. T^T"
