On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we had planned to take my mother, Su Mailou and her daughter, and Lin Manlin to a resort to relax. However, Mo Yan was in such a serious car accident and was staying in the hospital, so everyone was worried about him.

The doctor said that if the condition remains stable, the patient could be discharged as early as the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Five days later, the IV drip will no longer be needed, and the person will be able to move around in a wheelchair. There are also doctors at the resort who can provide basic care and observation.

They agreed to take Mo Yan to a resort for a few days from the sixth to the seventh day of the first lunar month.

He also made plans with Haiyang and Haiqi, the siblings; having heard that Mo Yan was in a car accident, and that Xiao Mohan would be returning to China to reunite with them, Gu Tingyu was quite looking forward to it.

Ms. Lin Jinyu remained as nonchalant as ever, saying that she was going abroad for a few days and that her son didn't need to accompany her; the young people could just hang out together.

Su Maiqi quite admires her mother-in-law in this respect. She doesn't see the typical anxiety of a middle-aged woman in her.

Most of the women Su Maqi has met are prone to mental health crises during the transition from middle age to old age.

The children are grown up and no longer require constant attention; the development and peak of one's career have also passed.

You might suddenly feel like you've lost your center in life.

Many women experience a sudden sense of emptiness during this stage, especially those whose marital relationship is not close, who may feel that something is wrong with their lives.

She desperately wanted to hold onto her husband and children.

Especially in China, very few families don't focus their energy on their children.

But her mother-in-law was an exception; she was always calm, unhurried, and unperturbed.

But if you look into her eyes, you'll find they are bright, focused, and full of determination and vitality.

Su Maqi hopes that when she grows old, she will be just as calm and elegant, and not become someone who annoys children.

She originally thought that her mother-in-law had sent them on a trip abroad to give the young couple some space.

Gu Tingyu said that in recent years, after he turned 18, his mother would travel abroad every Spring Festival.

His words and expressions revealed no obvious emotion, only a faint glimmer. Yet, for some reason, Su Maiqi felt a pang of pity for Young Master Gu at that moment.

I wonder how he spends the Spring Festival every year?

Anyway, this year, they're a group of people celebrating the Spring Festival in a villa in the city. Zhang Ma has been staying here these past few days, cooking for them.

Lin Manlin and her daughter Su Mairou would go back to Su Mairou's house to rest at night, but they would come over for meals together during the day.

They take turns delivering meals to Mo Yan every day.

Sometimes a few more people would go and stay in the ward for a while to keep Mo Yan company.

Life suddenly became more relaxed. I could sleep in until I naturally woke up in the morning, and after meals, I would chat, eat sunflower seeds, and do various things I enjoyed.

However, they did not completely relax.

Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu were also keeping an eye on the company's daily sales figures and online public opinion.

Su Mailou, on the other hand, was worried about what new products to stock after the New Year.

Products like money trees and "abundance year after year" charms sold well before the Spring Festival thanks to their hype. They also sell well at other times.

But after the New Year, Valentine's Day will be coming soon, and we need to develop some products that can generate sales volume in a short period of time.

The three entrepreneurs first brainstormed together to determine the product concept, and then Lin Manlin and Su Maiqi drew up design drafts together, continuously optimizing and modifying them.

Finally, Su Mailou produced samples based on the design drawings, constantly trying and adjusting them to present the best possible effect.

The final product chosen as the main selling point was a decorative item called "Love of Time".

The ornament is hand-woven from fine copper wire and is shaped like a vintage pocket watch. The dial is inlaid with two hearts that lean against each other, symbolizing that time spent together by lovers is precious time.

The watch chain of a pocket watch is made up of countless tiny copper wires linked together, representing the continuity of time and the enduring nature of love.

At the center of the dial, two heart-shaped copper wires intertwine to form an exquisite three-dimensional pattern. Each heart is edged with tiny crystal beads that shimmer like stars.

The product is complex and exquisite in its craftsmanship, and its price of "520" symbolizes "I love you," making it a proactive product.

There is also a keychain that is more suitable for students and young couples: "Hearts Intertwined".

The pendant consists of two parts that, when interlocked, can be perfectly combined to form a complete heart shape.

Each part, when taken apart, is also heart-shaped.

The heart-shaped pendant for men has slightly sharp edges and simple, powerful lines, symbolizing a man's strength and protectiveness.

The women's version features a heart shape with soft edges and smooth lines, representing a woman's gentleness and inclusiveness.

The surface of the pendant features copper wires woven in a spiral pattern, creating a unique texture that reflects a subtle luster under light, giving the pendant a look that is both retro and fashionable.

On the front of the pendant, copper wires are cleverly woven into a hollowed-out pattern, which reduces the weight of the pendant while increasing its breathability and aesthetic appeal.

Priced at 99 yuan, it's a great deal.

The three of them got more and more excited as they talked. They even made a list of the important holidays of each day and brainstormed suitable product concepts, with even little Duoduo participating.

Gu Tingyu felt quite pleased with how engrossed they were in their work.

The work is concrete, down-to-earth, and full of enthusiasm. Every bit of effort brings a step forward, and I feel at peace and content.

He actually felt quite envious.

Aside from keeping an eye on Chenxing's affairs, he himself wasn't completely idle.

I would video call Xiao Mohan every afternoon; there is no Spring Festival holiday abroad.

And one of their investment projects is at a critical stage.

In terms of scale and profit, it is naturally incomparable to Su Mailou's online store.

But the feeling of walking a tightrope is just too grueling. You might make a fortune in one go, or you might lose a lot of money in another.

Gu Tingyu sometimes felt a sense of disorientation, or rather, a kind of emptiness. He didn't know what he was after.

When you win, you feel excited, thrilled, confident, and full of energy.

When you lose, you feel defeated, frustrated, as if you've fallen into an abyss, or as if you've fallen into an ice cave.

In the end, it seems to have become just a numbers game.

Essentially, he is not short of money. He can live comfortably now and will never have to worry about food, clothing, or daily necessities for the rest of his life. Maintaining his current standard of living is absolutely no problem.

He doesn't like luxury products. He prefers healthy and organic food.

Every night we sleep in the same bed, and no matter how big the bed is, it takes up the same amount of space.

One car is enough.

That's enough for his life. As for the money he earns from playing financial games, it's just numbers as long as he doesn't withdraw it.

But he needs to use this game to access even greater resources; he needs to accomplish what he must accomplish.

Sometimes they are full of confidence and high spirits, and other times they feel like nothing has happened.

He envied the Su Mairou sisters, who only did small handicrafts, but had a sense of certainty that they were creating something new, something with a soul.
