Shu Yan's advertising plan is a blend of the best of the next few decades. While some parts may not be expressed precisely, the creativity within it has inspired and impressed even professionals.

Some people even asked Shu Yan if she wanted to learn advertising from him, which made Shu Yan both laugh and cry.

"I told you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your advertising plan, that's why I say you're a genius." Hu Ruixue looked at Shu Yan and sighed once again. If she had been born into a family like hers, how incredibly talented she would be now.

Seeing Hu Ruixue's regretful look, Shu Yan smiled. "My mother once told me that what a person eats is determined at birth. What side dishes to have depends on their own efforts. The food is already decided, and the side dishes? Aren't I preparing to cook a delicious feast?" This "mother" of course refers to Shu Yan's own mother.

“Yes, you’re doing great as you are now. Let’s cook a delicious meal together.” Hu Ruixue asked cheerfully, “By the way, I just saw you chatting with Manager Wang?”

Manager Wang was recruited by Hu Ruixue from her older brother's company. She is 35 years old this year, divorced like Shu Yan, and lives alone with her daughter.

"She has an 8-year-old daughter, and we chatted about parenting tips. Somehow, we started talking about the spots on her face. She said she had them after giving birth and had them removed with laser treatment at the hospital. I was thinking of getting it done too, so I asked her about it." Shu Yan now weighs 115 pounds. Although she's still chubby, she's not unattractive and has a more prosperous appearance. Her skin is much whiter than before, but these spots just won't go away.

She applies a face mask almost every day, but the spots have only faded slightly. Shu Yan plans to go to the hospital to get a checkup when she has time. Fortunately, she met Manager Wang, a successful example, and decided to go to the hospital for a consultation tomorrow.

"Do you want me to introduce you to a doctor?" Hu Ruixue looked at the freckles on Shu Yan's face. Even as a friend, she couldn't say that Shu Yan's freckles were cute.

"Not for now. Manager Wang recommended her doctor to me." Shu Yan still believed what she saw with her own eyes. Manager Wang's skin was so fair and smooth, and the results were so good, why should she go to such lengths?

With Manager Wang's business card in hand, Shu Yan successfully found the doctor she had mentioned. The doctor was a man in his thirties. As soon as Shu Yan mentioned Manager Wang's name, the doctor knew who she was.

"She called me and said, 'Please sit down first, I'll take a look at your situation.'" The doctor carefully examined Shu Yan's spots. She had natural freckles on her nose, and Liang Jia had pregnancy spots under her eyes. These two types of spots are the most difficult to remove. "Your spots can be removed, but they may not be as clear as Ms. Wang's."

"How much better can it be than hers?" Shu Yan knew the severity of her condition. She didn't expect the same effect as Manager Wang; she just wanted to remove the mask and then apply some light makeup so that it wouldn't be noticeable.

"It might reach 80%, and it could leave a mark." The doctor didn't give a guarantee, trying to make it sound more serious at first.

Shu Yan knew the doctor wouldn't give a definitive answer; if he said 80%, then it was at least 90%.

"Can it be done today?" Shu Yan really hated the freckles on her face and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"Yes, it's winter now, the best season for freckle removal. If you want to do it, we can do it today. After the procedure, you can't be in the sun for 7 days. If you can manage that, it's best to avoid the sun for a month," the doctor carefully explained the precautions.

"Are we confined to the house and can't even go out?"

"No, what I mean is you need to protect yourself from the sun. When you go out, it's best to wear a mask and sunglasses, wear a hat, or use an umbrella. If you get sunburned, you'll get a tan, and the situation will be more serious then." The doctor explained in as much detail as possible.

"Are there any side effects after doing it?" This was Shu Yan's biggest concern. Not getting sun exposure for a week or a month is fine, but you can't possibly go a lifetime without sun exposure, right?

"Everyone's skin type is different, so the problems that arise will also vary. Some people experience no side effects after the procedure. Others may experience slight skin sensitivity. These are not major issues. Just keep your skin moisturized afterwards. Also, it's not that you can't be in the sun at all, it's that you can't be exposed to excessive sunlight. Even healthy skin can become red and irritated from prolonged sun exposure, and many people will develop freckles. What I want to tell you is that having this laser surgery doesn't mean you'll never get freckles again. It's not that magical. You still need to rely on your aftercare." The doctor patiently answered Shu Yan's various questions.

"Then let's do it." Shu Yan is the kind of person who hesitates before making a decision, but once she makes a decision, she sticks to it.

The doctor gave Shuyan a prescription and told her to pay. The total cost for the freckle removal and some restorative medication was 10,000 yuan. Shuyan was a little shocked. She didn't expect laser freckle removal to be so expensive at this time. She remembered that a colleague of hers had it done in 2017 and it also cost around 10,000 yuan. But 10,000 yuan in the 1990s was completely different from 10,000 yuan in 2017.

On second thought, laser freckle removal is now considered a high-end device, so this price seems reasonable.

Before coming, Shu Yan asked Manager Wang, who said that it would hurt a little when she got the laser treatment, but it was bearable, like a mosquito bite. She believed her. When the first laser treatment hit her face, Shu Yan almost jumped up, but the doctor held her down.

"Don't move, it's no joke if this hits your eye. It will hurt a little, but I'll try to be quick. Just bear with it for a bit." Doctors have seen a lot, and they won't stop just because Shu Yan cries out in pain. A quick and decisive action is better.

"Why does it hurt so much?" Shu Yan was a person who could tolerate a lot of pain, but the laser made her tears stream down her face.

"Laser treatment will definitely hurt a bit. Becoming beautiful always comes at a price. Just think how beautiful you'll be without the blemishes. Just bear with it and it'll pass," the doctor reassured her.

Shu Yan endured the pain for two hours, literally crying as she finished the injection. When the doctor announced it was over, Shu Yan felt like her gums were about to bleed from biting them so hard.

There were traces of bleeding in several places. The doctor said it was because her spots were too deep, so she had the spots treated several times, and there were no major problems.

"After you get home, the spots on your face will become more and more noticeable. You don't need to do anything about them or apply anything. They will slowly turn into scabs and fall off. You absolutely must not pick at them. Don't wash your face for the next few days, just gently wipe it. Also, absolutely do not expose your face to the sun," the doctor instructed again.

"Okay, I understand, thank you doctor. When do I need to come back for a follow-up appointment?" Shu Yan asked before leaving.

"A week or two weeks later is fine."

Shu Yan wore a hat and mask to pick up the child. If she hadn't spoken first, Lin Hui and Wu Xiuyue wouldn't have known that the person standing next to them was Shu Yan.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xiuyue looked Shu Yan up and down. She was wrapped up tightly, like a thief.

Shu Yan leaned closer to them and whispered, "I went to the hospital to get my freckles removed, but now my face is so red I can't show my face to anyone."

"I heard that thing is very expensive," Wu Xiuyue said, pulling her mask back slightly. Seeing the condition on Shu Yan's face, she was quite shocked. "Oh my, it looks so scary! How much did you pay for this?"

"Isn't this just finished? It'll be fine once it heals. It's a little pricey, but the results are amazing. Someone I know has such fair and smooth skin, without a single blemish."

Wu Xiuyue felt it was unnecessary to spend the money, but Lin Hui, who was standing next to her, was somewhat tempted. "Do you think it's possible to remove my freckles?"

“You only have a few pimples on your face. You don’t need to go, it’s fine,” Wu Xiuyue said from the side.

"That's not how it works. Look at these two sides of my face. They grew after I gave birth and they just haven't gone away. They're really unsightly. If they could be removed with laser treatment, I'd go get them done."

“I think what Xiuyue said is true. You don’t need to remove these spots. A little light makeup can cover them up. But I can’t do anything about mine. They look like a spotted dog. It would be so ugly if I didn’t remove them.”

Lin Hui has the fairest skin and the fewest freckles among the three of them, which may be related to her pampered lifestyle.

The three chatted as the children came out. Hearing Shuyan call her, Jingjing looked at her mother curiously and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go pick up your little brother and then go see the new house." She turned around, waved to Lin Hui and Wu Xiuyue, and led her daughter toward the kindergarten.

Tianbao was startled to see Shuyan so bundled up.

"Mom, did you do something bad?" Tianbao asked, looking like he knew.

"What bad thing is Mom doing?" Shu Yan pulled down her hat to block the curious gazes of passersby.

"Mom told me secretly, and I absolutely won't tell anyone else," Tianbao suddenly said in a very, very soft voice.

Shu Yan rubbed his head and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Mom really didn't do anything wrong. Come on, let me show you your new room."

The house doesn't smell much anymore, but for safety reasons, Shuyan has decided to wait until the end of the year to move in.

"Mom, is this our new home?" Jingjing and Tianbao had only been here twice before and during the renovation, and this was the first time they had entered the house after it was finished.

“Yes, this will be our home from now on.” Shu Yan held Tianbao’s hand and called Jingjing over quickly. “See this? From now on, you and Tianbao will record your height here. There’s a photo wall next to it. We’ll put up the photos from the zoo later. When winter vacation comes, Mom will take you to other places to play, and then we’ll take more photos and put them up.”

Tianbao only heard "play," but Jingjing understood. She pointed to another empty wall and asked, "What's over there?"

"That's the wall of honor. Tianbao's little red flowers and your certificates are all displayed there," Shu Yan chuckled. "So you and your brother both need to work hard. If you can't even fill this wall, Mom will be embarrassed."

"I have so many little red flowers, I want to stick them here, here, and here!" Tianbao ran around the living room.

"Jingjing, come here, let Mommy measure your height." Jingjing, who is seven and a half years old, is only 114 cm tall, which is definitely below the normal range. I'll go to the hospital later to ask what calcium supplements she can take.

Write down the date and time, and Shu Yan brought Tian Bao over to measure his height again, thus completing the first growth record.

When I go to sleep at night, my face burns with pain. I can bear that pain, but what's really uncomfortable is that I can't turn over because I'm afraid of pressing on my face.
