Chapter 1454: Chapter 1017: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 25 (five thousand)_2
The children Tangyuan has nurtured into athletes are quite a few. Qi Yang is not the first, and definitely won’t be the last. When it comes to swimming skills, she was their initial coach, and she trained him. Initially, participating in that championship was just for encouragement. Who would’ve thought he’d win an award? And who would’ve thought he’d catch the eye of other coaches? So you see, it really is fate that brought this about.
Ten-year-old Qi Yang is already 160 cm tall, about as tall as she is. Sometimes when she goes out to shop, she takes this strong little fellow along.
When it rains heavily, he even carries her across the street. At ten years old, he already shoulders the family’s responsibility, makes her supper at night, and massages her back whenever she’s tired. All these years of effort and nurturing haven’t gone to waste; this child’s emotional intelligence far surpasses intellectual intelligence. His grades in the first and second grade of elementary school were okay, but by third grade, he lost the advantage and fell into the middle ranks. Although this doesn’t determine the future, if he becomes a swimmer, that could be an advantage.
"I don’t hate swimming."
Qi Qi still needs to give him a heads up: "Training is tough."
"Mom earning money is difficult too. What’s not hard? Studying is even harder. Mom, I’m willing."
This made Qi Qi laugh and cry at the same time: "You, oh you, don’t rush to decide now, just do your best."
Qi Peng is now a middle-class kid, and Qi Yue is just over two years old. When she turns three, she’ll be sent to kindergarten.
At this age, when these two kids are still innocent and know nothing, they’ve already forgotten Mom. They call her ’Mom’ daily, when they should be calling ’Dad’, but Qi Qi has forcibly changed it to ’Uncle’. At first, Qi Yong thought his sister held a grudge against him, but after the secret was revealed this year during the New Year, he understood his sister’s well-intentioned efforts.
He was certainly moved but also accepted his sister’s approach. After all, if his sister acted like the mother and he like the father, it would be chaotic.
Besides, he’s away at least ten months a year, and the children feel like strangers to him. They’re better off with their sister, who can provide them with better conditions. It’s just a title; he doesn’t mind.
No man can truly dismiss the notion of infidelity, but his sister’s comfort made him feel it was reasonable.
Being not biological children doesn’t matter; kids raised by a mom can be as tied to the family as biological ones. If he were to return the kids to that ungrateful woman, he can’t imagine what would become of them. So be it, he might as well do something good.
Nurturing love is greater than blood relations. Without any blood ties, it doesn’t matter; as long as they’re raised hands-on, they can be excellent.
The better he cultivates them, the more remorseful their biological parents will be in the future.
Once understood, Qi Yong was at peace.
——
After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the kids began school. Only then did Qi Yong take his team back to the impoverished mountainous areas to seek out those he could aid.
While Qi Qi attended school, she didn’t forget to enter the office to study on the seventh day. During the day, she was at the office; at night, she was at Xingchen. Only when the midnight hour arrived, did she go home to manage her Douyin account, deal with tasks backstage for selling goods, and process emails. For urgent matters, people could reach her by phone. For less pressing items requiring her personal confirmation, typically emails were used, as this prevented missing anything.
If it weren’t for the space, she feared she’d meet an untimely death, given how busy and worn-out she was. Only the space allowed her buffering time.
The amount of money in her account just after the snow disaster was largely donated, leaving not much behind. However, due to her influence, her live selling rooms became more popular. After all, it is hard to find even five people across the platform who, like her, donate over ten million, making less than a star but donating more than a star.
She broke out because of that, especially with the products she chose, which were meticulously screened, providing some guarantee and winning great trust from fans.
While other sellers often meet resentment, her company is only busy two days a week, Saturday and Sunday. At least one of those days she participates. The rest of the time involves investigation, review, and signing contracts, and when she sells, breaking a million in a day is easy. This is likely due to the impactful trust people have in her.
Surely there are pressures, and times when problems arise aren’t absent, but as long as they are addressed sincerely at the very first, forgiveness isn’t impossible.
However, once or twice might be forgivable, but not thrice, because as a seller, you must be responsible to the consumers buying them.
