As the first light of dawn broke, soft rays filtered through the intricately carved windows, casting a warm glow in the study of the Theodore Family estate. Leon was already seated at his desk, surrounded by a mountain of documents and books. His gaze was focused and resolute, as if he were determined to unearth the key clues for the family's revival from the chaos of information before him.
Theodore entered the study and, seeing Leon so engrossed, couldn't help but smile slightly. "Leon, starting work so early?" His voice broke the silence of the room.
Leon looked up and returned the smile. "Time is of the essence; we cannot afford to be slack." His eyes reflected an urgent desire for the family's resurgence.
The two began their day's work by sorting through the current business landscape of the Theodore Family. Leon meticulously reviewed each account, analyzing the profits and losses of various ventures. "Theodore, look at these shops; while their locations are decent, their business models are somewhat outdated. We could try introducing some new concepts," Leon suggested, pointing at the ledger.
Theodore leaned in closer, studying the accounts seriously. "You're right; I had similar thoughts before but couldn't find a suitable direction. Do you have any specific suggestions?"
After a moment of contemplation, Leon replied, "We could launch some unique products to attract more customers. Additionally, we should enhance our store promotions by utilizing town fairs and festivals for marketing activities."
Theodore's eyes lit up at this idea. "That's a great suggestion; we can start preparing immediately."
Throughout their discussion on business strategies, Leon demonstrated exceptional acumen and keen insight. Every suggestion he made struck at the heart of their challenges, earning him even more admiration from Theodore.
Next, they turned their attention to the family's network of connections. Leon understood well that in this complex world, relationships were a crucial resource. "Theodore, you've built quite a network in town over the years; we need to leverage it effectively," Leon stated.
Theodore nodded in agreement. "Absolutely; I'll arrange some gatherings and invite various individuals so you can have the opportunity to meet them."
During their work breaks, Leon's thoughts would inevitably drift to distant Maple Leaf Village, recalling Alice and Oliver. He missed Alice's gentle smile and cherished moments spent fishing by the creek with Oliver. These fond memories became his motivation for hard work.
"Leon, what's on your mind?" Theodore noticed Leon's distraction and asked with concern.
Leon came back to his senses and let out a slight sigh. "It's nothing, just thinking about some friends in Maple Leaf Village."
Theodore paused for a moment, then understood Leon's meaning. "I can understand your feelings; they must have left a deep impression on you. Once we complete the family's revival, you'll be able to go back and visit them."
Leon nodded slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I hope to realize that day soon."
In the afternoon, some important members of the family gathered in the study to discuss the future plans with Leon and Theodore. Leon listened attentively to everyone's opinions, occasionally offering his own insights. His calmness and confidence instilled trust among the family members.
"Lord Leon, your ideas have greatly inspired us. We are willing to fully support you and master Theodore," said an elder of the family.
Leon stood up and expressed his gratitude to everyone. "Thank you for your trust. We are one family, and only by uniting as one can we overcome difficulties and achieve the revival of our clan."
In the following days, Leon's work became increasingly busy. He not only had to manage the family's business affairs but also navigate various factions within the town. Yet he maintained a positive attitude, never once complaining.
At night, as the moonlight spilled over the courtyard of the mansion, Leon stood alone by the window, gazing at the night sky.
