After dinner, the two of them drove to the company together. It was already past the Lunar New Year, and most companies were wrapping up their holiday preparations.

Meanwhile, Chenxing is still fighting a tough battle.

The marketing strategy for this new product launch was explained in several rounds across various departments of the company.

The importance cannot be overstated.

Most importantly, the company has also introduced corresponding incentive policies.

On Valentine's Day, February 2.14th, if sales reach the expected target, everyone in the company will receive a super-sized bonus after the New Year.

Therefore, everyone was full of energy.

Even when we arranged time off for everyone during the Lunar New Year, no one objected, and everyone was even considerate of each other.

The chairman said that if the new product launch is a great success, the company will also set up a special award for those who have made outstanding contributions. This special contribution award is for certain job levels.

This mysterious award, which has no fixed position or level and is not subject to any evaluation method, is decided by the chairman and can be received by anyone who is dedicated to their work.

Everyone was filled with excitement.

There were many people hurrying along the road, carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods.

Gu Tingyu was driving, and Su Maiqi was sitting in the passenger seat. Neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, a song called "Dandelion is Frozen Firework" came on the radio. The clear and penetrating voice entered her ears and touched Su Maiqi's heart.

"I want to embrace this world with all my might, even if it means destruction."

I'm going to blow this desolate night sky to smithereens.

Cry or laugh.

Do something silly, don't be afraid.

That place in my heart will always be reached.

Marching towards tomorrow, dancing wildly towards the apocalypse!

Even the insignificant can be great.

A "boom" resounded in Su Maiqi's heart, as if a firework had exploded within her.

Yes, I want to embrace this world with all my might, even if it means destruction. I want to shatter this desolate night sky into pieces. She felt something churning within her, rushing wildly, searching for an exit.

For so many years, she has been pursuing a life free from worldly strife.

I always felt that I didn't have any desire for material things or so-called luxury goods.

I want to live a simple life, without having to spend too much energy on scheming and meaningless things.

That's why I naively thought that as long as I put my heart into designing, everything would be fine when I was working. In the end, I became a tool to be used by others.

Many times, she felt that there was a destructive self living inside her, who wanted to destroy the world.

She fantasized about massive floods, earthquakes, and raging tsunamis, all over the world.

The earth shook violently, leaving nothing but ruins in its wake. Let the whole world perish together.

Now, the destructive self and the peaceful self seem to be slowly merging into one.

She wanted to live more freely, to cry when she wanted to cry, and to laugh when she wanted to laugh. Just like the song says, "Towards the journey of tomorrow, let's dance wildly towards the end of the world."

Live each day as if it were your last.

She doesn't want to disrupt; she wants to control.

She could gain wealth and status, even though she didn't love them, because these were the paths to freedom.

Come on, let's make it big! "You'll always reach that place in your heart; even the insignificant can be great."

She suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes. Even if the final result was not what she wanted, at least she had lived, tried her best, loved, and blossomed.

Some say that the entire universe, the entire world, is a giant playground.

Being born means getting a ticket to this playground, while death means getting out.

Isn't the so-called meaning of life simply whether you have enough fun?

A person who dares to try, is not afraid of failure, does what they want to do, and experiences a rich and fulfilling life has lived a worthwhile life.

Come on, let's blast this desolate night sky to smithereens.

While driving, Gu Tingyu suddenly spoke up: "Our family always has New Year's Eve dinner with Grandpa, and everyone has to go over. Let's celebrate the New Year with my sister at noon on New Year's Eve."

And on the first day of the lunar new year, everyone has free time. We can call our older sister and Duoduo, and go to the resort with my mom for a day and a night.

Su Maiqi felt a warmth in her heart. She had been worried about this too; her sister had just gotten divorced this year, and their mother had also passed away. She was afraid that the New Year would bring back painful memories for her sister.

She was thinking of going home to spend the New Year with her sister. Gu Tingyu, after all, had a contract, so it wasn't appropriate.

I didn't expect Gu Tingyu to have thought of all that, to have considered everything so thoroughly.

She looked at Gu Tingyu sincerely and said, "Thank you for being so thoughtful. I'll meet with my sister after get off work tonight to discuss it."

Everything for the new project has been sorted out, and everyone is proceeding smoothly, making Su Maiqi's workload much lighter. After visiting the factory to see the samples in the afternoon, she didn't return to the company but went straight home.

She texted her sister: "What time do you get off work today? I'll pick up Duoduo. Let's have dinner together tonight. Let's go out and get something nice to eat."

Half a day later, when she was almost home, she received a reply: "Let's have a simple meal at home. I'll cook, and you can pick up Duoduo. I have things to do after dinner."

When Su Maiqi arrived at the entrance of the residential area, there was still an hour before Duoduo was supposed to get out of school; she had left work early today.

She hesitated for a moment, then went directly to her sister's house.

She knew the password to her sister's house, and since her sister hadn't come home from get off work yet, she just opened the door and went in.

My older sister was sitting on the sofa in the living room, intently fiddling with something. She was clearly surprised to see me: "Why are you here so early?"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Su Maiqi saw a hint of panic on her face.

"I've almost finished with the project, so I'm leaving get off work early today."

Su Maiqi approached the sofa and saw several rolls of copper wire and a money tree that was almost finished being woven on the coffee table.

The tree trunk is cleverly twisted from thick copper wire, giving it a rustic and solid feel.

The newly formed leaves have delicate edges and clear veins. Each leaf is unique, with rich color gradations, ranging from light green to dark green, showcasing the vitality of the leaves.

The fruits are adorned with tiny copper beads, each one perfectly placed among the branches and leaves, neither too dense nor too sparse.

The handicrafts are 80% complete, with only a small portion of the fruit yet to be finished.

It's nothing new that my older sister is good at handicrafts; she's loved tinkering with these things since she was little, and she's very skillful with her hands.

When Su Maiqi was in kindergarten, her older sister even took her old clothes and altered them into a dress for her; she wore the dress to school and said that her sister made it for her.

A bunch of kindergarten girls were incredibly envious.

After so many years of marriage, working, raising children, and having a troublesome mother-in-law, Su Maiqi hasn't seen her sister tinkering with these things for a long time.

Why did I suddenly find the time and inclination to do these crafts? And I got off work so early today, it's not even time for my annual leave yet.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why are you doing this at home at this hour?"

"Today was a company team-building event that was going to go on until very late. I had to pick up Duoduo, so I took the day off and came back early. A few days ago, I saw a colleague buy a money tree made of copper wire online."

I thought it looked so beautiful that I decided to buy the materials and try making it myself.
