Wearing a loose purple silk pajama and pink cotton slippers, she gently exits her daughter’s room, walking to the study next to her bedroom as always.
The study is simply decorated: a desk, a computer, a printer, a bookshelf, a chair, and an air conditioner – nothing more.
Pulling out the chair and sitting down, she habitually tidies the scattered A4 papers and pencils on the desk, then turns on the computer.
Mu Xitong is a senior freelancer who likes working independently. Before becoming the second shareholder of “Butterfly Love Flower”, she worked for the studio. After becoming a part-owner, she broke away and started working solo on freelance websites. Through years of accumulation, she has already secured some regular employers.
After booting the computer, she successively opens QQ, Photoshop, web pages, and so on.
First, she logs into the freelance China website to check the status of the works she submitted yesterday. Seeing the red “winning bid” in the status bar, a hint of pride crosses her sensual lips.
“Beep beep beep…” A series of crisp QQ notification sounds came from the bottom right corner. Mu Xitong’s fair and delicate hand elegantly moved the mouse to hover over QQ, revealing a string of message notifications.
After ignoring most of the private QQ chats, she opened a super QQ group called “Weike Home”. Generally, Mu Xitong was the champion of lurking in the group, only speaking up when she found a topic interesting.
A monthly income of over ten thousand yuan was enough for Mu Xitong to live well and provide a happy life for her daughter. Therefore, she had been selective about taking on projects in recent months. However, when she did take on a project, her winning rate was over 50%, which was an impressive number and subtly cultivated her lofty and proud demeanor.
The QQ group was packed with people, most of whom were “newbies” in Mu Xitong’s eyes, with neither the need for communication nor the possibility of private chat.
The group owner was also a woman whom Mu Xitong had never met, but her abilities were widely recognized. Therefore, Mu Xitong found her easy to talk to, as they were both experts with common topics to discuss.
As a leading figure in the LOGO design field, Mu Xitong’s appearance quickly attracted attention, and the chat topic in the QQ group quickly shifted.
