Chapter 58 states, "The content can be divided into several series: first, 'Craftsman Stories,' interviewing these artisans and recounting their lives and cultural heritage; second, 'Production Secrets,' showcasing the entire process of a piece from raw materials to finished product; and third, 'Modern Applications,' demonstrating how these traditional crafts can be integrated into modern life... and uploaded to YouTube."
Li Chian was very excited, "This idea is brilliant! I was only thinking about simply showcasing the product before, I never thought of so many angles."
“The most important thing is the emotional connection,” Gao Yinxi continued. “Modern consumers increasingly value the stories and values behind products. The women of Yunwu Village achieve economic independence through handicrafts while preserving their ethnic culture, which is a very touching narrative.”
The two talked more and more deeply, from content planning to account operation, from tag optimization to cross-border logistics solutions.
Gao Yinxi felt a long-lost sense of intellectual activity and creative inspiration, and the pent-up frustration of the past few days seemed to have found an outlet.
“You can wear these pieces of jewelry and home goods in your videos first, and naturally integrate them into your book-sharing content,” Gao Yinxi suggested. “There’s no need to push them; instead, let the audience be drawn in spontaneously and then ask how to buy them.”
Six Senses Hotels' official account is well-managed, and she herself also has an audio broadcast account that she's doing very well. As a self-media creator, Gao Yinxi has paid her dues.
Li Chi'an nodded excitedly, "Recently, some fans have indeed asked me where to buy the jewelry and home furnishings in my videos. I'm also thinking about how to sell them on Xiaohongshu and Douyin."
“Different platforms require different strategies,” Gao Yinxi analyzed. “Xiaohongshu focuses on refined living and review sharing, Douyin is suitable for short and quick creative content, while TikTok is more inclined towards a global perspective and cultural exploration. I can help you develop a full-platform matrix strategy.”
"Mmm." With Gao Yinxi's support, Li Chi'an felt his ambition growing.
"Look at me, I get all excited when it comes to making money." Gao Yinxi suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence and sighed, "I've been cooped up at home lately, it's really getting to me."
"I can tell."
As soon as Gao Yinxi got out of the car, Li Chi'an felt that she lacked energy.
“That’s how it is during pregnancy,” Li Chi’an said. “You can’t have it both ways. We can have both, but it has to be done in stages. You can’t move now, so just lie down. It’ll only be a few months. Once the baby is born, it’ll be another dragon.”
Gao Yinxi was born in the Year of the Dragon. Her originally depressed mood gradually relaxed during her conversation with Li Chi'an.
“Coming to your place today was the right decision,” she said. “You know, if I were at home now, I couldn’t move anything. If I made a single movement, Yuan Ergeng and his mother would jump up and down like crazy.”
"They're worried about you and the baby too."
Who knows?
Gao Yinxi twitched the corner of her mouth.
An adult's heart is never completely pure.
Li Chi'an held her hand. "What did the doctor say? Are you able to work now?"
Gao Yinxi's mood improved again. "I'm much better than before. If there's anything suitable, I can take care of it."
"That's great."
Gao Yinxi is a Capricorn, a natural workaholic, and the long periods without work make her very anxious.
She'd been feeling really stifled at home for the past few months, so she said, "Just do whatever makes you happy. If you want to work, then work. It's your own business, and you have complete control over it."
"That's true. But I'm still scared."
Gao Yinxi lowered her head and gently stroked her belly. "I'm afraid this will be my only child in my life."
Because I want it so much and I'm so afraid of losing it, I dare not gamble on the possibility of losing it, so I am extremely careful.
Li Chian said, "Life is the sum of all life experiences. Think about it, how precious is the experience of being a mother? So settle down and enjoy the process of being a mother."
“You’re right.” Gao Yinxi was finally comforted. “You understand me. After I got pregnant, everyone, including Yuan Ergeng and his family, treated me like a fragile thing, as if I couldn’t do anything except lie in bed. But actually, I need some mental activity, otherwise I would really become depressed.”
"Then when you're in a good mood, do what you want to do."
“An’an, I think what you’re doing now has a lot of potential!” Gao Yinxi couldn’t help but think of Li Chi’an’s startup project again. “After I give birth to my baby, maybe we can start a business together!”
A tacit understanding flowed in the air.
“That’s possible.” The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, Li Chi’an remembered something. “Oh no, my soup!”
She hurriedly ran into the kitchen and soon brought out a pot of fragrant fish maw, pork tripe, and chicken soup.
Li Chi'an prepared the other vegetables in the kitchen after buying them; all we need to do now is put them in the steamer.
"Let's have some soup first to whet our appetites." Li Chi'an poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Gao Yinxi. "Once the rice is cooked, you'll be able to eat it again."
"I can eat so much right now." Gao Yinxi smelled the delicious chicken soup and felt her appetite was whetted. "I can't control myself even if I want to."
"Why control yourself?" Li Chi'an laughed. "Eat whatever you want. This is probably the only time in your life when you can eat as much as you want."
"Did you have such a good appetite when you were pregnant?" Gao Yinxi scooped up some soft, stewed fish maw from the bowl and put it in her mouth. "It's so delicious, this fish maw is so good."
"Eat more," Li Chi'an said with a smile. "I was fine back then. I was always at work and often ate takeout. I didn't have any problems and my pregnancy was pretty easy."
"Really? I'm so envious." Gao Yinxi had a tough time during this pregnancy. "Maybe you were younger back then."
“Maybe,” Li Chi’an said. “But I think it also has to do with genes. My mother said her pregnancy was very easy. She didn’t gain much weight, and the baby was still big.”
"Don't say that and stir up trouble." Gao Yinxi knew what it was like for Li Chi'an to be pregnant.
Thinking back to how well she was doing back then, it was something I truly envied.
The two chatted as they ate, and the topic gradually shifted from their business plans to everyday life.
Gao Yinxi sized up her friend, then suddenly smiled slyly, "Yu Shi has done so much for you, is there some progress between you two?"
There's been no progress. Is Young Master Yu really that free?
Li Chi'an's face immediately turned red. He lowered his head and stirred the soup in his bowl. "Is it that obvious?"
"So you two are really together?" Gao Yinxi asked in surprise. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me!"
“It’ll be around this time,” Li Chi’an said softly. “I was planning to wait until things were more stable before saying anything, but I didn’t expect you to be so perceptive.”
"It's not that I'm perceptive, it's just that your friendship is too obvious, okay?" Gao Yinxi pretended to be angry. "Fine, am I still your best friend? You kept such a big thing as dating from me for so long! Tell me, what do you think? Yu Shi is a good guy, isn't he?"
“He’s a good person.” A happy smile appeared on Li Chi’an’s face. “He’s very considerate and respectful of me. I feel that he’s quite mature.”
A partner with high psychological maturity is less difficult to get along with.
Does your son know?
“I don’t know, I didn’t tell him,” Li Chi’an said. “I also never brought Yu Shi home.”
The two of them always went out on dates.
"It's better not to tell him." Gao Yinxi was very open-minded about the matter. "You two are dating, not getting married. It's only when you get married that family members are involved."
“If our relationship lasts long enough, I will still tell Zui Zui.”
Gao Yinxi nodded, genuinely happy for her friend. "They've met before, haven't they? How did they get along?"
“It’s surprisingly good.” Li Chi’an’s eyes sparkled. “Zui Zui especially likes Yu Shi. The two of them often build Lego and play games together. Last week, Yu Shi even took him to visit the planetarium, and Zui Zui was excited for three whole days afterward.”
Zui Zui has loved astronomy and science since she was little, and Yu Shi happens to like it too, so they can talk a lot about it.
"I never would have guessed that Young Master Yu could take care of a child," Gao Yinxi exclaimed. "Seeing you happy makes me so happy."
“I didn’t expect that either.” Li Chi’an said gently. “He said he often takes care of his nephew at home and is used to it.”
“He brought his nephew.” As a neighbor who lived in the same community as Mrs. Yu, Gao Yinxi had met Yu Shi’s nephew several times. “His nephew is eight or nine years old. He’s very naughty, but he’s very good-looking.”
"Yu Shi showed me a picture of Yu Gu, and he is indeed very good-looking," Li Chi'an asked with a smile. "Is everyone in their family good-looking?"
Yu Gu, the son of Yu Shi's elder brother.
"I met Young Master Yu and his wife many years ago at an event held by the Yu family. I don't remember them well, but I recall that they were both exceptionally beautiful and had outstanding figures and temperaments." Given the superior looks of Mr. and Mrs. Yu, Gao Yinxi felt that their family couldn't possibly have any ugly children.
"What, you have an idea?" Gao Yinxi asked meaningfully.
"What are you thinking?" Li Chi'an rolled his eyes at his friend. "Our Zui Zui is also very good-looking, okay?"
“That’s true,” Gao Yinxi agreed. “That bastard Chen Li may be a scumbag, but he’s still got a good face.”
"Sigh, so much has happened to us in just this one year," Gao Yinxi sighed.
"Yes, I got divorced, my cousin broke up with her boyfriend, and you got pregnant."
"I wonder if we just happened to be caught in a ten-year period of great fortune, otherwise how could there be such a big change?"
“It’s pretty good too,” Li Chi’an laughed. “I’ve discovered that outside of marriage, there’s no rain.”
"Hahaha." Gao Yinxi laughed uncontrollably. "You're all set now. Your son is so big. You'll have money, good looks, and freedom in the future. The world is vast, and you can fly wherever you want."
“Aren’t you?” Li Chian looked at Gao Yinxi.
“That’s true.” Gao Yinxi smiled. “I don’t have high expectations for Yuan Er. As for the future, I just want to make money and take my daughter to see the world.”
Li Chian smiled and said, "You can definitely do it. Give her enough love, and she will have the courage to pursue the world."
“Let me tell you,” Gao Yinxi said with a smile, “just two days ago Yuan Ergeng said he was going to leave 200 million yuan for the baby, two villas, and ten shops. It’s hilarious.”
"Okay, let him start saving now." Li Chi'an gently touched Gao Yinxi's stomach. "By the way, about the TikTok plan we were talking about earlier, can you really help? Won't it affect your health?"
Gao Yinxi thought for a moment, "How about this, I'll write down my ideas and suggestions, and you and Shi will handle the specific implementation. I'll just be a behind-the-scenes consultant, which won't be too tiring, and I can still have some fun. Yuan Er shouldn't object."
“Then it’s settled,” Li Chi’an said with a smile as he ladled a bowl of soup for her. “You should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. After the baby is born, we’ll get started on this together.”
After dinner, the two snuggled up on the sofa and continued discussing the details of cross-border e-commerce.
Based on her past experience, Gao Yinxi offered many practical suggestions, and Li Chi'an took careful notes, occasionally offering his own ideas.
As the sun slowly slanted westward, it bathed the room in gold.
As Gao Yinxi was speaking, she suddenly stopped and let out a soft "ah".
"What's wrong?" Li Chi'an asked anxiously.
Gao Yinxi placed her hand on her stomach, a strange expression on her face, "The baby moved, it felt like it kicked me just now."
Li Chi'an leaned closer in surprise, "Really? Can I touch it?"
“I definitely wouldn’t give it to anyone else, but you, as the godmother in reserve, are definitely a good candidate.” Gao Yinxi took her hand and placed it on her belly, the two silently feeling the movement of the new life.
A warm and sacred atmosphere enveloped them.
“Life is amazing, isn’t it?” Li Chi’an said softly. “Even though Zui Zui is already so big, I still find it incredible every time I see him.”
A look of emotion flashed in Gao Yinxi's eyes, "I didn't expect that she could move at such a young age."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
After Li Chi'an opened the door, Yuan Ergeng stood outside, holding a bouquet of flowers and several boxes of pastries.
"Why did you get here so quickly?" Gao Yinxi asked Yuan Ergeng from a distance.
“I just came over because there was nothing else.” Yuan Ergeng handed the pastries in his hand to Li Chi’an. “These are some new pastries from our shop. I brought them for you and your son to try.”
"Thank you." Li Chi'an took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave them to Yuan Ergeng, then stepped aside to let him in.
"I've come to pick you up." Yuan Ergeng saw Gao Yinxi huddled on the sofa, looking somewhat dazed, and immediately became anxious. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gao Yinxi beckoned him over and took his hand, placing it on her stomach.
Just then, the baby moved again.
Yuan Ergeng's expression shifted from confusion to surprise, and finally to an indescribable joy.
“This is…” He squatted down and whispered to Gao Yinxi’s stomach, “Goodness, it can move now.”
"She may be more energetic and healthy than we imagined." It has to be said that Gao Yinxi was surprised but also somewhat relaxed when she felt the baby moving in her belly.
"My daughter is definitely super cute and energetic." Yuan Ergeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back, Gao Yinxi was unusually quiet.
Yuan Er asked with concern, "Are you tired? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Gao Yinxi shook her head and smiled, saying, "I think this period shouldn't be seen as an ordeal, but rather as a valuable preparation period. For myself, for the baby, and for our future."
