She Only Cares About Cultivation

Her composure not only earned the admiration of people at the company but even some media outlets consider themselves inferior because they’ve never seen a social media influencer like her, who clearly has more lucrative traffic, yet chooses to practice law, which doesn’t have a high return rate and involves exhausting work. She seems able to easily manage both, maintaining stable and steady development no matter which she engages in.

There were those who wanted Qi Qi to appear on talk shows, but she mercilessly rejected them because she detests the glamour under the spotlight. Having been a star in a past life was enough; in this life, she just wants to quietly raise her three children, nothing more.

She is worth over a billion, but apart from necessary occasions, her everyday attire is incredibly down-to-earth.

Qi Qi is frequently candidly photographed by various media marketing accounts, yet she completely ignores them, continuing to do her own thing, behaving as she pleases.

Once they have nothing left to photograph, they naturally leave her alone, an experience she has accumulated.

Stars care greatly about their figures, movements in various occasions, and their influence. They carry a heavy burden of being idols, even changing outfits several times just to walk through an airport—the boarding attire, the deplaning outfit—it’s truly exhausting. Influencers are different, with lower exposure; even if she has traffic, she doesn’t overly expend it. So just by wearing a mask, she can accompany her children to various events very conveniently.

In March 2032, Qi Yang participated in the Melbourne World Swimming Championships, competing in the 15-under youth group for the male 400-meter freestyle and the male 800-meter freestyle events, but was eliminated in the preliminaries. It was Qi Yang’s first time participating in an international competition, and also his first realization that for Asians to achieve good results in these events, much more effort is required than for ordinary people.

With his current daily training volume of 10 kilometers, it is clearly insufficient. This setback made Qi Yang realize the gap between himself and world-class athletes. After returning home, his daily training volume increased from 14 to 20 kilometers. Of course, this wasn’t an immediate increase but was gradually pushed up over time, because there is still the 2032 Olympics in August, and he must secure at least one spot.

Qi Yang grows stronger with setbacks, but Qi Qi feels heartbroken watching her son’s training videos every day, using the opportunity to urge Second and Third.

"Look at your brother; he is already sufficiently excellent, yet in front of world-class athletes, his abilities are not worth mentioning at all. Qi Peng, since you’ve chosen street dance, you must train seriously, because street dance is a new event at the Olympics. Train well, and Mom will spare no expense in nurturing you. This way, you can battle with world-class masters like your brother. Do you understand this feeling? That’s the real Olympic spirit—stronger through setbacks, braver the more you fight!"

For ordinary people, five months may pass in a flash, but for athletes, it feels like years because daily training resembles a marathon; if you dare stop, countless people will overtake you.

The competitive awareness isn’t only present in the world but also within one’s own country, even between provinces and cities—everyone is a rival.

Through Qi Yang’s strenuous efforts, he secured the qualification for the 400-meter freestyle. Although it is only one event, it cost him all his focus.

The 2032 Olympics took place in Brisbane, Australia, with the opening ceremony held on August 1st.

Qi Qi considered taking the children to cheer him on, but Qi Yang refused.

"Mom, if you come, I’ll be distracted. Stay at home, don’t contact me. I’ll get in touch with you; rest assured, your son will definitely not embarrass you!"

In fact, Qi Yang indeed accomplished what he said; he emerged victorious in the first battle on August 5th, progressing through rounds to win the 8th gold medal for his country at the age of thirteen. This shocked major media domestically and internationally. The world champion title suddenly came to this single-parent family, prompting Qi Qi to cry.

She cried tears of joy, embracing her two children tightly, ignoring the phone ringing wildly, simply crying until she released all the grievances and unhappiness in her heart.
