Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Some people would feel that Du Xiaojuan's approach is unfeeling and lacks worldly wisdom.

But it is precisely those who can refuse others so cleanly and decisively who are often more likely to succeed.

Some things require you to consider your own feelings first, to maximize benefits and minimize trouble.

Not being morally kidnapped, not having an inability to refuse — only then can you, on this road of life, make the choice most favorable to yourself when faced with decisions.

Having just given birth, her whole body was weak to the point of death; naturally, she had to nurse her body back to health before anything else.

So Du Xiaojuan not only refused visits from Fang Dayong and other company executives.

Even her own parents, Wang Dashan's parents, and Wang Dashan's brothers — she didn't let any of them come over.

If they came, they would only cause all kinds of fuss, and she simply didn't have the energy to entertain them.

If she didn't entertain them well, she would still end up the subject of gossip.

So she simply shut everyone out.

She'd wait until she recovered before deciding.

Anyway, with a confinement nanny taking care of things, she didn't need anyone else's help.

In the afternoon, the doctor came to make rounds, asking how Du Xiaojuan was doing.

Du Xiaojuan said she was feeling better.

The doctor then suggested she try to urinate on her own.

Because her delivery went very smoothly — no episiotomy, no tearing, and not much blood loss — the doctor, based on past experience, judged that Du Xiaojuan should be able to urinate this afternoon, and at the latest could be discharged tomorrow.

Some women who've had a second child, with no episiotomy or tearing like her, can even be discharged the same day.

Du Xiaojuan is a first-time mother, so it's better to observe conservatively for one night.

Du Xiaojuan herself also wanted to leave the hospital early; although this integrated private delivery room had only her as the parturient and the environment was decent, she couldn't get used to the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

So she cooperated actively.

Whatever the doctor told her to do, she did.

Carrying the urine bag, she had the confinement nanny and Wang Dashan help her into the toilet.

Then she began her first attempt at spontaneous urination.

"You turn on the faucet in the toilet; the sound of running water can stimulate the nerves and help with spontaneous urination."

Confinement Nanny Kang Yi said this to Du Xiaojuan.

"Okay, Kang Yi." Du Xiaojuan turned on the faucet of the washbasin next to the flush toilet, listening to the sound of water as she tried to urinate on her own.

During the attempt at spontaneous urination, the urinary catheter on her body had not been removed.

They just raised the urine bag higher, above the level of the bladder.

Then they opened the valve.

If she could urinate on her own, with a bit of effort she would be able to squeeze the urine into the urine bag.

If she couldn't urinate on her own, no matter how hard she strained, the urine in the bag would show no change.

Spontaneous urination alone isn't enough; she also has to empty the bladder until only 100 milliliters or less remain for it to count as passing?

How can you measure the residual urine volume in the bladder?

It's simple: first urinate spontaneously, then close the catheter valve, empty the urine bag, open the valve again, lower the urine bag, and the urine that flows out of the catheter after spontaneous urination is the residual bladder volume.

On Du Xiaojuan's first attempt at spontaneous urination, she only passed less than 200 milliliters.

There were still 500 milliliters of urine in her bladder — this was clearly a fail.

So she could only wait patiently.

Wait until evening to try spontaneous urination again.

This time it was much better; the residual bladder volume was only 200 milliliters.

Although Du Xiaojuan was anxious to be discharged, her mindset also leveled out.

Because it was already evening now; she definitely couldn't be discharged today — she'd wait and see tomorrow.

So she stopped making pointless attempts and shifted her attention elsewhere.

She went to look at the child again; although the baby was still very ugly, all wrinkled, she felt it was much more pleasing to the eye than when it was just born this morning.

Kang Yi came over to give Du Xiaojuan a lactation massage; Du Xiaojuan still had no milk, and it would probably take another one or two days before any came.

Humans are different from animals.

Cats, dogs, and the like — the moment the litter is born, the mother has milk.

Humans are different; you have to wait one or two days, even two or three days, before milk comes in.

This is probably the human body's self-protection mechanism.

"Hey, Fang Zong, how's the company's IPO going?"

While accepting Kang Yi's massage, Du Xiaojuan called Fang Dayong to ask about the company's situation.

"Du Zong, the IPO ceremony has been completed successfully! From now on, our Xiao Du Technology counts as a listed company!"

Fang Dayong answered with a hearty laugh.

He was that happy.

After all, bringing Xiao Du Technology to a successful IPO adds a brilliant stroke to his resume!

With this resume, among the many executives of Zhonghai Group, both his status and his decision-making authority will rise a level.

Upon hearing this, the stone hanging in Du Xiaojuan's heart finally dropped.

"That's great! Then I can rest easy!"

Fang Dayong asked weakly at this moment:

"General Manager Du, do you have any plans to cash out?"

Go public, drive up the stock price, then cash out.

This is the standard operation for many listed company executives.

Because this way you can earn the most money in the shortest time.

Du Xiaojuan naturally had this plan as well.

But she definitely couldn't say it directly to Fang Dayong.

So she said:

"Not considering it for now; let's focus on making Xiao Du Technology stronger and bigger first!"

She said this for two reasons: one, to hide her own intentions; two, to steady the troops internally.

If right after going public she considered cashing out, once that news got out, internal confidence would surely waver.

Du Xiaojuan had just given birth at this time, her body was very weak, but her mind was still very clear.

She naturally knew what should be said and what shouldn't be said.

"General Manager Du, with your word that's enough; from now on the whole company united as one will surely make Xiao Du Technology even stronger and bigger!"

Fang Dayong said this with a laugh.

But in his heart he had another thought.

Xiao Du Technology's e-commerce model survives by relying on major e-commerce platforms like Taobao and JD. com; although the matrix is well-built and product categories are spread wide, the ceiling is ultimately constrained by the platforms.

That is to say, with e-commerce platform competition now tending toward stability, for Xiao Du Technology to climb another rung is probably very difficult.

Under such circumstances, taking the company public and then quickly cash out and exit is the wise move.

At this moment Du Xiaojuan asked Fang Dayong:

"General Manager Fang, Zhonghai Group wouldn't be thinking of cashing out and exiting, would you?"

Fang Dayong also hurriedly denied it:

"No, no, how could that be? It just went public; Xiao Du Technology still has great potential! Exiting now would be too much of a loss!"

Fang Dayong naturally couldn't tell Du Xiaojuan the truth either.

So-called business games are nothing more than this.

Don't look at what others say; look at what others do.

Businessmen, and those who can grow a business big, they can make lies sound like truth.

Take Boss Jia for example right now; he spoke firmly about returning home next week, but years have passed and he still hasn't returned.

This period of Xiao Du Technology's IPO was precisely Boss Jia's most glorious time; back then Boss Jia's PPTs were so good-looking, so impressive, all kinds of high-end new buzzwords and phrasing, even Alibaba-system talents had to bow down in admiration, and Jun'er even had to call himself little brother.

Du Xiaojuan spent a period of time specially studying Boss Jia's PPTs; after all, he really did them well, hoodwinking clients was second nature, and fundraising was incredibly lucrative.

One's own content must be done well, but one must also learn the essence of others.

Otherwise just burying your head in hard work won't produce any results either.

Craftsman spirit is good, but a craftsman only knows how to forge iron, not how to sell ironware.

When it comes to selling goods, you have to admit, you just have to know how to bluff, have to know how to market.
