"Wish us success." Liu Qian stood up and poured two drinks, and the two clinked glasses.

"It's a pity I can't drink alcohol right now, otherwise we could have a drink together."

"You can owe me that. You can drink it after you give birth to your baby."

The two women looked at each other and smiled as they held their drinks. Liu Qian said with emotion, "Later, I specially bought an old-fashioned calendar and tore out the page with the image of you appearing at the restaurant where I worked, and framed it."

When her family went bankrupt, her parents fell ill, and her younger brother was still young. She didn't even have much time to grieve before she hurriedly became the pillar of the family. During college, she worked part-time while studying, and her main source of income was keeping track of Yan Mingxuan's schedule for Xu Linlang. Then one day, Xu Linlang suddenly said that she didn't need to keep track anymore, and then she was fired from the Yan family's company.

She didn't have time to reflect; she first found herself a temporary job as a waitress, and even made a point of choosing a restaurant with nice-looking uniforms.

That noon, Xu Linlang walked into the restaurant with sunshine in her eyes and asked her, "Do you want to make a bet with me?"

Liu Qian agreed almost without hesitation. Then she heard about a grand plan, and she had a lot more to learn. She was very tired but also very excited, and she was memorizing vocabulary in the middle of the night.

"Then let's consider that day your lucky day, and every year on that day we'll celebrate it."

"That's a must."

Xu Linlang admires Liu Qian's tenacity the most. Under the same conditions, such a person, as long as their IQ and EQ are normal, will definitely succeed.

Three months later, Uncle Xu called back home and said: "My niece hasn't come to the company for several days. A few days ago, I saw her chatting happily with a local man in a coffee shop."

By this time, Xu Linlang had already started her technology company and was recruiting relevant personnel. The person Xu Sanshu saw that day was meeting with a recruitment agent, who was essentially a headhunter. She had seen Xu Sanshu walking past outside with a beautiful woman in his arms, and he was deliberately smiling happily at the recruitment agent.

She hasn't been to the company these past few days because she's getting artificial insemination. She chose the most expensive agency and services, and specifically requested that the sperm donor be a highly educated man from the United States. Apparently, he's an outstanding international student who doesn't receive much living allowance from his family. After receiving the order, the agency specifically searched for a suitable candidate, and he was swayed by the generous bonus.

Except for a few special days, Xu Linlang never stopped meeting all sorts of people and even contacted her classmates from her time studying abroad to bring people in for collaboration.

Liu Qian and Xu Linlang lived together, but they only saw each other once every few days. Liu Qian worked at a branch of Xu's company and had to get up on time to go to work. When she left, Xu Linlang had not yet gotten up, and when she went to bed at night, Xu Linlang had not yet returned.

Until one day, Liu Qian stayed up all night waiting.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Xu Linlang came in and saw her sitting in the downstairs living room, a pile of documents on the coffee table in front of her. "Doesn't this branch office discourage overtime?"

"I didn't work overtime. These are just company documents and reports. I'm just extracting some data to keep for future reference."

"So you were waiting for me?"

"Yes, the branch office's vice president called me today."

"What are you doing?"

"Ask me, or rather, ask you, if you are interested in working with him."

"Cooperation? He wants to climb the social ladder?"

"Well, it's said that the current branch manager was recruited by your third uncle. Your third uncle trusts him a lot, but this manager has some rather eccentric behaviors. The vice president said that you are your grandfather's real granddaughter and that you are the one who should be in charge."

"What did you say?"

"I told him you weren't interested, but he said you don't need to do anything. Just like your third uncle, you can hand the company over to him and he'll handle it."

"Don't agree or refuse, but give him a glimmer of hope. We've only been here a short time, and what he's saying is only one side of the story. Let's observe and see."

"Okay, I understand. How's the baby?"

"Two implantations were successful."

How do you feel?

"No, I've heard that most people experience some discomfort, but I hardly had any reaction. The doctor said they're very strong."

"When is Auntie coming?"

"Next month, she still doesn't know what's going on here. I just told her that I've been transferred to an overseas branch and I wanted her to come and spend the New Year with me."

"Then speak slowly, don't startle your aunt."

"I think she should be able to accept reality quickly." Xu Linlang touched her still flat stomach, her tone slightly mischievous.

"Tomorrow's the weekend, I'll go to our company with you." Liu Qian started tidying up the papers on the table. Xu Linlang had given her a share of the profits from the technology company. If it went public in the future, she would be a shareholder.

"Okay, we don't need to get up early tomorrow. We can go out after lunch."

After the initial period, Xu Linlang hired a housekeeper to take care of cleaning and cooking.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Ms. Huo Xin appeared at her daughter's residence dressed in a very cool outfit.

"Baby!" He immediately gave Xu Linlang a big hug.

Liu Qian reached out and supported Xu Linlang's lower back; Ms. Huo's hug was rather forceful.

Huo Xin released his daughter and then hugged Liu Qian tightly: "Thank you for being willing to come all this way with Linlin and spend the New Year with her."

"Auntie, it's also for your dream."

Huo Xin paused for a moment, wondering if he didn't speak Chinese often and had misheard. Did modern young people dream of being a playboy's follower?

Xu Linlang couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, is this all you brought? Where's the rest of your luggage?"

She remembered that Huo Xin used to bring several large suitcases when he returned to China for the Chinese New Year.

"Oh, I'll be leaving in a few days. I've made plans to explore the traces of the Renaissance."

"You might not be able to leave."

"what?"

......

Half an hour later, Ms. Huo looked at her daughter's belly with a dreamlike expression. She had already accepted having a spoiled daughter. After all, she herself was not a very successful person. Two years ago, she heard that her youngest son, Jiang You, was starting a business and even planned to give his sister a fixed dividend. She was very fortunate that she and her daughter were the only ones in the Huo family who were well taken care of.

How did it suddenly become that Huo Xin is the worst? When did it change?

"You, Linlin, you, wait a minute, let me catch my breath, catch my breath." Huo Xin stood up and walked around the living room again and again.

Xu Linlang was enjoying a cup of hot milk.

Ten minutes later, Huo Xin carefully sat back down next to his daughter: "Who else in the family knows? Who was the first to find out?"

"My second uncle and my eldest uncle knew about it the earliest, while my eldest uncle found out after my maternal grandfather passed away."
