She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Su Maiqi checked the time; it was already 8:30. There was no time for dinner; today was the last day of the project meeting before the holiday.

We need to review the data from this period, check the factory's progress, finalize the press release for February 2.14th, and arrange the duty roster for the Spring Festival.

Regardless, on this traditional day for family reunions, employees still need to be able to spend some time with their families, even if the project has reached its most critical stage.

She quickly washed up and changed, and when she saw many hickeys on her neck in the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Fortunately, it was winter, so she chose a black turtleneck sweater, a blazer, and a more formal pair of pants.

Putting on a pair of pearl earrings, Su Maiqi looked at herself in the mirror and regained her usual poise.

As the person in charge of the project, it's important to appear professional during meetings.

When going out, all you need to do is put on a long down jacket that reaches your ankles.

Sitting in the taxi on her way to the company, Su Maiqi picked up her phone and opened the group messages for the "Entrepreneurship Team".

Although Gu Tingyu provided her with a car and arranged for Uncle Wang to be her driver at any time, Su Maiqi still preferred to take taxis most of the time.

Now that I live in the city center, it's very convenient to take a taxi, and I don't have to worry about parking.

Occasionally, she would drive herself, listening to mindless online novels as a way to relax.

In the "Startup Team" group chat, almost every time I take out my phone to check, there are little red dots.

Su Maiqi sometimes even felt that the handicraft projects of this entrepreneurial team were more able to stir her emotions and passion than Chenxing's new product launch projects.

The three of them always seem to have endless topics to talk about, and with their Taobao store officially launching new products yesterday, the sales figures are quite good.

Everyone was bursting with excitement.

Sure enough, when I opened the group messages, there were screenshots of orders one after another.

The latest order last night was actually at 4 a.m., no, perhaps it should be said that it was the earliest order today.

Wow, there are so many people who don't sleep at night.

The stock of small money trees that we prepared earlier has been sold out; and people are still placing orders one after another.

This morning, Su Mailou had already brought home the mothers who were willing to do handicrafts part-time; she started teaching, demonstrating, and rushing to finish the work.

This product is relatively simple, and mothers can quickly get the hang of it. Su Mailou divided the work according to each person's strengths, creating an assembly line-like process; and it quickly got on track.

Some mothers got used to it and felt good about it, so they simply invited their mothers-in-law and mothers over as well. Su Mairou didn't refuse; these older women were more able to sit still and were more meticulous in their work.

Looking at the lively photos posted in the group, Su Maiqi felt an urge to join the knitting army as well.

But thinking about the huge Chenxing project he was working on, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile and sent a message in the group saying, "Keep it up, congratulations to President Su on his instant success."

He even tagged Su Mailou.

Su Mairou sent a cool emoji, then laughed heartily.

Lin Manlin also seized the opportunity to say in the group chat, "Congratulations, President Su."

"Wishing you great success, Mr. Su."

"Congratulations to Mr. Su on your successful business venture! We wish you a speedy IPO!"

Then came a rain of red envelopes, comparable to the huge flower baskets at the opening ceremony, lined up in rows.

Su Maiqi roughly calculated the data and concluded that, based on the current traffic trend, seizing the opportunity during the Chinese New Year could yield tens of thousands in profit, equivalent to half a year's salary for Su Maiqi.

She was very happy for her sister.

Although economically speaking, I could easily support my older sister and Duoduo myself.

But Su Maiqi understands her sister; she is a person with her own pursuits and ideas, not the kind of person who is content to be a parasite.

Even though she was blinded by love back then and overcame all difficulties to marry Li Deshun, she did not completely give up on herself after marriage.

No matter how difficult it is, going to work and not quitting is her bottom line.

Besides, even if my sister changes her mindset and is content to be a parasite, letting me support her.

Su Maiqi didn't really want things to turn out this way. It wasn't that she was afraid of spending money on her sister, but rather that she knew all too well that while a person's quality of life is greatly related to material possessions, it's not something that can be achieved simply by having material things.

If a person has nothing to do and cannot create value, they will gradually lose their spirit and self-confidence.

They used to have a neighbor whose husband was a good earner, while his wife stayed home taking care of their three children. She was very busy every day, picking them up from school, tutoring them, doing housework, and cooking.

When I have some free time, I go for a massage or beauty treatment to relax.

They seem to live a very comfortable life.

As the children grew older, my wife's life became more leisurely, and she dressed up beautifully every day.

Su Maqi had once been jealous of that woman on behalf of her mother; at that time, her father had already left, and her mother supported her two daughters and sent them to school through a tailor shop, which was very hard.

My mother is very busy every day, and often stays up very late at night making clothes.

She designed many beautiful clothes, made with expensive fabrics, which were praised by the wealthy women.

But she herself dressed very simply.

Su Maiqi once felt very sorry for her mother, and she wished that her mother could have a happy life like the lady next door.

No need to worry about making a living.

Later, I heard that the woman next door had been diagnosed with depression. I also heard that her husband, unable to bear the burden, eventually had another woman.

I heard that the husband had a very successful business and was extremely busy, while his wife began to have more free time after their children grew up.

She focused more attention on her husband, but he struggled to reciprocate in the same way. She became increasingly insecure and suspicious, eventually leading to depression.

Her husband, faced with her depression and emotional instability, couldn't help but confide his emotional stress to his close female friend.

Ultimately, after seeing the evidence, the woman chose to leave this world.

That was the first time Su Maiqi began to seriously consider how a woman should live. She also understood why her mother worked so hard, yet remained so strong.

In her daily work and life, she created value through her labor, received economic rewards, sheltered her two young daughters, and built a home for them in this world.

In this process, she realized that as a woman, as a person, I am capable and I have value.

The strong and stable self that grew out of hardship and suffering gave her an innate trust in herself and in life when facing any difficulties in life.

Believe that the difficulties are temporary and that the problem will eventually be solved. Believe that you have the ability to handle the problem, even if the process is difficult and lengthy.

This belief is so important for a person.
