Someone heard Willow's question and leaned in to answer, "That's because our hard work gets rewarded."Willow looked at her in confusion.The young woman clarified, "At other companies, people work nine hours a day, six or seven days a week, and only earn about 50 or 60 thousand a month.""Do you make more than that?" Willow asked.The young woman nodded seriously. "Yeah. We work six hours a day and make hundreds of thousands a monthâthat's not even the highest salary. In a place where real estate is crazy expensive, we can buy a home for ourselves in just a year or two."That's something many people spend half their lives working toward. But we can achieve that in just a few years. Don't you think that's amazing? Doesn't life feel full of hope?"Hearing the joy in her voice, Willow nodded hesitantly. "I guess so."The young woman continued, "For most people, their biggest expense is daily meals, but our company provides meal subsidies. I also heard they're setting up a childcar

"Mom, can you please divorce Dad?"It was 9:00 pm. I was trying to put Zach to sleep. Just when I thought he was about to drift off, he suddenly asked that question.That short question left me stunned for a long minute. My hand patting on his back also froze.I felt a painful twinge in my chest.Over the years, my relationship with my child's father had been pretty good. Logically, a child nurtured by love should feel happy living in such an environment.And yetâŚWhy did he have such thoughts?Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say that?" I softened my voice in case I unintentionally scared him."You never let me eat fried chicken or ice cream..."As he was almost asleep, his voice was unclear and tinged with the innocence typical of his age.I didn't know whether to feel amused or disappointed.To think that he wanted me to divorce his dad because of something so trivial...Children sure were naive.As I listened to his breathing gradually grow steady, I knew he had fallen as

With the tablet in my hands, I left Zach's bedroom and headed straight for Shayne's study.But I couldn't understand...Out of everyone, why Luna?The first time I heard about Luna was at my wedding.Shayne treated me well back then. When I was feeling down, he would tell me it was okay, and that nobody was perfect. He would patiently stay with me until I felt better. When I got sick, he would drop everything to take care of me.Because of that, I resolutely decided to marry for love, even if that meant moving far away from home.Just as I was in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet that signified purity and looking forward to our life together, I overheard his friends discussing his first love."I always thought Shayne and Luna would end up together. They were so passionately in love back then.""Exactly. They looked like a match made in heaven.""What a pity."The regret in their voices was genuine.At that moment, I began to doubt whether Shayne truly loved me.

Shayne's other hand pinched my chin, forcing me not to evade, and then his lips pressed down on mine."You'll like it."âŚZach was in the senior class of kindergarten.School started at 8:00 am every day.It took about 20 minutes to drive to the kindergarten. To avoid being late, he would leave home at 7:30 am every day.I, on the other hand, got up at 6:30 am to cook breakfast.Today's breakfast was a bit simpler. It was ravioli that I prepared last night.The broth was the troublesome part. I needed to simmer fresh chicken broth.I lay bay leaves at the bottom of the ceramic pot, placed a whole cleaned chicken inside, and finally placed a few sprigs of thyme on top. I then covered it and turned the heat to high.Once the water boiled, I lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken broth wafted up to greet me.After adding a bit of salt, I turn the heat down to simmer.Now that I was done with this, I happily left the kitchen and went to the dressing room to help the boys

Did Shayne write Luna this letter on the eve of our wedding?The other letter was Luna's reply to him."I'm sending back your letter with mine. Shayne, I am happy now. I hope you wish me happiness. And please don't contact me in the future; I'm afraid my husband will misunderstand."After I read these two letters, I could connect almost all the information in a way that made sense.Luna was clearly Shayne's first love. And yet, Shayne hated Luna so much.I subconsciously tightened my grip on the mop.So, it was because Luna had once betrayed Shayne. However, he convinced himself not to dwell on the mistakes Luna had made or the hurt she had caused him. All he wanted was for her to return to him.Unfortunately, Luna still rejected him.It was only at this moment that I finally understood why he was so emotional when his friends mentioned Luna at our wedding.But what about now?Why did he bring out these two letters?Was he trying to remind himself of Luna's heartlessness a

What?That short sentence left me in shock. I couldn't regain my composure for a long time.I only stared at Shayne in disbelief.He said he took Zach to his mother's place, didn't he?Zach's grandmother should know about Zach's condition. She wouldn't let Zach eat just anything.So, why was Zach in the hospital?And how did Luna know about Zach's condition?"Which hospital is it?" Shayne hurriedly picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor and put them on in a panic.Luna cried on the phone while telling him the name of the hospital.Worried about Zach, I could only follow behind Shayne.It was then that Shayne noticed my presence.I knew my expression was grim as if I was on the verge of exploding, but I ultimately held it in.He opened the car door and got in immediately.I also got into the passenger seat.We were silent the entire journey.My head, messy with information, slowly started to clear up during this 20-minute journey.In other words, Shayne was s

Zach's innocent yet blunt words pierced my heart like a needle. While sick and in his most vulnerable moment, the person he thought of was still the very woman responsible for making him ill.I looked down at him. The illness had clearly taken a toll on him. After saying just two sentences, he had already fallen back asleep.Shayne had heard Zach's words too. He took my hand, uttering, "Honey."I didn't feel like talking to him and tried to pull my hand away.However, he tightened his grip, refusing to let go. "What happened today was just an accident. Mom acted on her own. Zach only said that because he's sick; he didn't mean to say thatâ""I can understand where Zach's coming from," I said as I carried Zach and headed toward the exit. "He's infatuated with Luna, so naturally, he thinks she's perfect in every way."I paused for a moment before continuing, "And yet, I've strictly forbidden Zach from seeing Luna. He's bound to react strongly against it at first. "Zach is not a b

With his head tilted, he looked up at Shayne. His teary eyes held the unique innocence and confusion of a child. He looked both pitiable and endearing.When Shayne squatted down, Zach no longer had to look up. Zach met Shayne's gaze and sobbed, "Dad, won't you say yes?""You're still young." Shayne sighed, clearly affectionate toward his son. He reached up to ruffle Zach's hair. "Zach, if you keep losing your temper at Mom like this, you'll regret it in the future."Zach shook his head. "No, I won't!" As if worried that Shayne wouldn't believe him, he wiped away his tears. "Dad, let's leave Mom and live with Ms. Luna. I dream of having Ms. Luna as my mom!"Every word he spoke was firm and resolute.Instead of responding, Shayne only patted Zach on the shoulder before standing up. I bitterly turned to look at Zach. I had always thought his desire to be a family with Luna was just a fleeting whim... However, he had had more than one outburst. His attitude didn't seem like a joke

Everyone was on the same page.Although their job was to promote my comic, they had all actually read it.And with such generous salaries, they couldn't help but like the comic to some extent.They also found the little girl in the story incredibly adorable.At this moment, they all felt delighted.They worked in a job they loved, and they got to interact with a character they adored.It was like living in a dream.âŚAfter work, Julian and I went to pick up Willow. On the way, I told him my plan."You'll go to the banquet, and I'll join my coworkers for dinner. Should I just take Willow with me?"Not wanting me to get too tired, Julian said, "I'm worried that if Willow is there, you won't be able to enjoy yourself."I smiled. "Willow is well-behaved. Don't worry."When we arrived at the kindergarten, I picked up Willow and told her about the plans. Then, I asked, "Do you want to go to dinner with Mommy, go to the banquet with Daddy, or go home?"Willow looked at me, then a

Julian gazed at me, amusement painted his usually cold voice. "I'll have to ask him about that."As he spoke, he called Mark and asked him to come over.The moment Mark heard, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over. "Is something wrong?"Julian's amused gaze landed on me. "You can just talk to him."I told Mark about my side business that I had been secretly running and then explained my request. "Your task is to inform the factories whenever production needs to be increased. I'll handle everything else. But I'll give you a 20% commission. Are you interested?"Mark only needed a brief calculation to realize that 20% was a huge amountâit was practically free money falling from the sky.Of course, he wouldn't refuse. But since this was happening in front of his boss, he had to stay composed and consider Julian's opinion first.Mark looked at Julian and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Hughes?""I respect your decision," Julian replied in a neutral tone, revealing

Everyone asked me what the second model was."The second model is based on sales, where you'll receive a commission," I answered.Without hesitation, they all chose the second option.I also preferred the second model.Even though I would end up giving them more money, there was no denying that they would be more invested and motivated, which in turn would generate even more profit for me.Smiling, I said, "Then work hard. How much you earn depends entirely on your ability."One by one, they all assured me it wouldn't be a problem and then went all out.I thought it would take some time to see resultsâmaybe a few days or even a monthâbut to my surprise, it worked immediately.Many celebrities and influencers started sharing this toy.Even some scions couldn't put it down.Seeing the results, they excitedly bragged in the group chat, "Did you see that? We didn't need to pay them extra advertising fees. You just have to tell them that this is highly sought after among the elite

Now that everyone's factory issues were resolved, they quickly nodded. "It's not that we didn't trust you. We've just been scammed too many times."The moment scams were mentioned, everyone had a shared experience."The demand from business partners keeps decreasing, and in order to keep our factories running, we've all been trying every possible way to find new collaborations. But during times like these, there are even more scammers."Sometimes they seem extremely legitimate. They wine and dine us and make us spend a fortune on them. But when it's time to sign the contract, they all just say they need to 'think about it.' Not a single one of them actually needed us to produce anything real because they couldn't afford the deposit."Many of them actually felt that the deposit policy was incredibly helpful to them. Otherwise, they would have lost a lot of money."When we first heard that you had so many orders for us, we actually thought you were a scammer too. During such a harsh

Mark looked a little uneasy when he said this."Is there a problem?"Mark lowered his head and said, "Even if we put all the factories that Mr. Hughes acquired into full production, it's still not enough. We'll probably have to increase output."This news truly shocked me as I asked in disbelief, "Do that many people want to buy the product?"The hype was almost catching up to the toy I had just launched.Mark nodded. "Yeah, I underestimated how much people abroad admire nobility under their system.""It's fine. I have already contacted a few more factories. They'll probably come to meet me this afternoon. Why don't you join us?"Initially, all the factories were only discussing business with me, and my orders could, at most, keep their operations running normally.I couldn't guarantee how much profit they would make.But with the addition of collectible toys, they at least wouldn't have to worry about their salaries for the next few months.Mark looked at me in surprise.

I couldn't be bothered to handle it myself, so I subtly asked Mark about it. He was also extremely busy and barely had any time.That was when I remembered Alice's company offered this kind of service.Getting up, I walked to the window, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside for a long time before finally calling Alice."Hello?" Alice asked, surprised that I had time to call her.I smiled and said, "I want to introduce some business to your company. I need to get in touch with a few toy manufacturers."As I spoke, I sent her my requirements.Then, I asked, "Do you have any factories like this on your side?"Alice took a look to confirm my requirements and replied, "Yes, the market hasn't been doing well recently, so many similar factories haven't been able to get orders. When they heard that I could connect them with potential clients, they all came to me."Since these factories had no orders and weren't making much money, I said, "I'll cover the introduction fee, including t
