Chapter 1419: Chapter 1007: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 15 (Four Thousand)
In August, Qi Qi started live-streaming and selling goods, focusing mainly on yoga clothes she wore, yoga accessories she used, small kitchen appliances she used, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, embroidery threads and needles, etc.
"I’ve never done this before, so I’m starting with products I’ve eaten, used, and worn as a focal point. Once I’m sure of the quality, I’ll dare to recommend them to everyone. If I haven’t used it before, I absolutely won’t recommend it to my friends, so initially I’m focusing on accumulating experience. In the future, I’ll also cross into multiple fields, hoping that fans will provide timely feedback when they receive goods. If unsuitable, all can be refunded and returned."
Her live broadcasts took place in three time slots: morning, noon, and evening, each lasting two hours. She started expanding from her video profile and, as more businesses approached her for business negotiations, she didn’t dare sign on for everything or recommend everything, only choosing to sign and recommend those she’d tried and felt were pretty good.
Since the streams only happened on weekends and holidays, and not during weekdays, she was extremely picky when choosing businesses. It is said that quality matters more than quantity; money is endless, but for now, learning and raising children are the priority. This can only be considered her side job and can’t be developed into her main business.
However, after a summer of learning and training with professionals, she earned 420,000 RMB in August from selling goods.
Calligraphy and embroidery brought in 160,000.
On the eve of the new school term, she sorted out her personal wealth.
The money in the stock market had already exceeded one million RMB, in other words, the initial 500,000 investment had doubled in returns. Of course, not all stocks were profitable; some lost money too. Stock trading was also mentally taxing. She didn’t plan to withdraw this money, instead, she wanted to see to what extent it could grow, and in the process, she could train herself to constantly pay attention to economic changes.
Apart from the money in the stock market, there was 680,000 cash before the summer holiday, now +42+16 = 1,260,000.
The rent for the second half of the year was 24,000, kindergarten tuition was 25,000, a 100 swim session card was 10,000, and commercial insurance for mother and son was 10,000, adding up to almost 70,000, belonging to major expenditures starting in the second half of the year.
She knew piano herself, for calligraphy, when the child was five or six years old, it wouldn’t be too late to learn, at which point she planned to teach personally.
Now she was already teaching introductory English to the child, different from others who spent large sums to enroll in training classes. In many aspects, Qi Qi could personally teach.
She took the child swimming with her. Initially, the little guy didn’t know how, so she spent almost ten days teaching him.
Of course, there are many swimming styles, right now he’s only learned Breaststroke. Next, there’s freestyle and butterfly stroke, these will be decided once he masters them all.
She had already formed a habit to complete things in space and never do them outside, saving a large amount of time and making more room for interaction with Qi Yang. After all, since the child was entrusted to her, she had the responsibility to cultivate him to be more exceptional, to live up to the trust of the original.
When sophomore year began, Qi Yang was almost five years old, and by this year’s October 20th, she turned 26. The so-called years urge people to age; starting university at an advanced age without knowing how to maintain oneself. If it weren’t for her petite figure, strengthened through years of yoga practice, with a tight figure, a baby face with no spots, she’d probably be an outlier on campus.
Nowadays, living conditions gradually improved, work and study became increasingly stable, she’d also pay attention to beauty care. Actually, exercise itself is the best makeup, so among her peers, standing at one meter six and weighing 80 coins, she already caught the admiration of many.
Last semester Qi Qi received a full scholarship of ten thousand yuan, and the counselor subtly hoped she’d contribute part of it as class fees.
At the time Qi Qi didn’t understand: "Why? If I donate, will others also be passively donating? Wouldn’t that be awkward?"
The money she earned through her own strength, why should she donate? Moreover, if you lead by donating and others don’t, wouldn’t that feel uncomfortable?
The counselor sighed, looking very troubled: "Student Qi Qi, it’s not that I’m insisting you do this, but behind the scenes, people are saying things unpleasant to hear. They’re saying you’re now a big V online celebrity, earning money each time you livestream goods that might take them a year or even five years to earn. In this situation, you compete with them for this little scholarship, it’s somewhat... looking bad. I’m declaring this isn’t my words; this is what I heard. I’m only thinking of your reputation, donating a little to silence the critics, wouldn’t it be good for everyone?"
