Chapter 25 Don't tarnish that word.
"Do you want to find a job, or do something on your own?" Gao Yinxi asked Li Chian again.
“I’d like to see if I can do something else.” Li Chi’an pondered. “I was thinking of working with Chen Li to run the hospital well, but now that I think about it, it was all for nothing.”
She only realized after being betrayed that she had no control over her finances or career, whether at the hospital or at home. Leaving Chen Li meant that these things had nothing to do with her anymore.
The only things that are relevant to her are the books she wrote, the courses she took, and the certificates she obtained.
These are all things in this house that Chen Li cannot move; they belong entirely to her.
She then realized how important it is for a woman to have an unshakeable career of her own.
"I never want to work in a support role again." Having understood where the benefits belonged, Li Chi'an also understood his future role.
“Great.” Gao Yinxi supported Li Chi’an’s idea. “Consider your previous experiences as life lessons. It’s good that you’ve been working hard.”
As long as you put in the effort, you will reap the rewards.
If Li Chi'an has truly been content to be a housewife all these years, spending her time only on laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children, without learning or growing, then she is truly doomed.
You can't learn any experience or skills.
“That’s right. As long as you do something, you’ve accomplished something. It’s not about making money, it’s about earning something from doing it,” Xu Zhuwen added. “You can earn money by writing novels and books, so don’t give up on that.”
“If you still feel anxious and insecure, take this opportunity to think carefully about what you want to do in the future. Besides us, you can also go to your teachers, your classmates, and your other friends. Ask more questions, observe more, and think more. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. Smart people always consult experts. If asking one person doesn’t work, ask three people. If asking three people doesn’t work, ask ten people. After asking ten people, combine their opinions, and you will know what you should do.” Gao Yinxi smiled again, “The worst thing you can do is to work in isolation.”
Xixi is so capable and talented, yet she is so humble and cautious.
"I finally understand why you kept asking people after you had an idea. You were trying to weigh things and get a result that was closer to the objective truth."
"Yes, an idea is just an idea. To test whether an idea is feasible and can be implemented, it needs to be put into the market for testing. The first step in putting it into the market is to ask friends and experts in related fields. If they think it is feasible, then we can move on to the next step. If they all say it is not feasible, then I need to consider whether it is just an idea that I subjectively think is feasible. Ideas are not valuable. Only ideas that can be monetized are valuable."
"I understand." Li Chi'an realized that Gao Yinxi was indeed doing things with a business mindset. "I also need to re-examine my own ideas."
“That’s right, that’s how it should be. Don’t be afraid to bother others. Who can you bother?” Gao Yinxi saw Li Chi’an’s enlightened expression and couldn’t help but say a few more words. “Those who can be bothered by you are not bothersome to you, and those who cannot be bothered by you are not bothersome to you either.”
"Brilliant!" Li Chi'an felt as if he had been enlightened.
She does have a limiting mindset; she's always afraid of bothering others and always wants to rely on herself for everything.
Looking back now, wasn't this a feeling of unworthiness?
“Everyone has their low points in life,” Gao Yinxi said earnestly. “You’re facing difficulties now, but you’ll get through it. It’s not like the sky is falling and you can’t overcome it no matter how hard you try.”
If you encounter something that you can't solve no matter how hard you try, then don't bother trying.
Just give up and let things fall apart!
“When you discovered Chen Li’s infidelity, you didn’t hide it. Instead, you immediately thought of preserving evidence, planning a divorce, and came to us to discuss what to do next. I think that’s great.” Gao Yinxi’s voice was sweet and coquettish, and her eyes were extremely gentle as she looked at Li Chi’an. “It’s always better to work together with the wisdom of the three of us than to rack our brains alone, isn’t it?”
There are plenty of women out there who, after discovering their husbands' infidelity, hide it from others for the sake of face, money, family, children, and so on, enduring the pain and suffering in silence.
In the end, he didn't achieve fulfillment; all he gained was a body riddled with emotional problems.
How stupid!
What in this world is more important than one's own life and health?
High notes are desired.
Xu Zhuwen tried to put herself in Li Chi'an's shoes, saying, "She used to think that since we weren't married, she couldn't empathize with her husband and children, and so on."
So I don't tell them anything.
Of course, there were other reasons she didn't mention.
Perhaps it was because she and Yinxi used to complain from time to time that it was annoying when friends would talk about their husbands and children whenever they met.
“Not being able to empathize doesn’t mean you don’t have your own thoughts.” Gao Yinxi gave Li Chi’an a reproachful look. “We’re just impatient to hear people talking about their ugly husbands and ugly kids, their mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and other family gossip. But you’re not that kind of person. What’s wrong with talking about important things?”
“That’s right, I have to side with Xixi!” Xu Zhuwen glanced around. “You’re inexperienced and don’t guard against people. Now you’re suffering a huge loss.”
Li Chi'an knew that his cousin was referring to the matter of Chen Li transferring assets.
How could she not regret it?
"It was because I was not on guard."
“Right?” Xu Zhuwen felt very sorry about it. “Sigh, this person is really too bad.”
What Chen Li transferred out was real money, real cash.
Several million.
If someone doesn't have the luck to get rich overnight, how long will it take for them to earn it?
“Money comes and goes, that’s normal.” Gao Yinxi looked at Li Chi’an’s tearful face and couldn’t help but comfort him while feeling heartbroken. “I think it’s more important to get out of a bad relationship, see reality clearly, and figure out the path you want to take in the future.”
Li Chi'an sighed, "I think the greatest fortune of being with Chen Li for so many years is that I haven't made a lot of money, and the greatest misfortune is that I haven't made much money either."
"Hey!" Gao Yinxi said, "A person with an empty heart can never be filled. Although you haven't made a lot of money over the years, you haven't been without any either. Look, when has Chen Li ever been satisfied?"
“That’s true.” Li Chi’an thought of how Chen Li always told her about the pressure and the lack of money, and a pain crept up her back. “We’re clearly doing alright.”
"Are you short of money?" Gao Yinxi said frankly, "What you lack is to give Chen Li a rich heart."
People who are spiritually impoverished will never feel that having more is enough.
This is why Chen Li is always dissatisfied with the status quo and tries to climb the social ladder everywhere.
Once a person is willing to open their eyes and look directly at another person, it is not difficult to see them clearly.
The details that were once automatically ignored in the pursuit of a universal standard of value are now spreading like vines, revealing the true nature of things more clearly.
