"It's not about giving up. I've come to realize that material things are the foundation of everything," Liang Xiaosheng said with a sense of clarity, speaking freely.
"At my age, I'm neither here nor there, and I don't have a wife. Chasing dreams is just nonsense. Saving money is the real deal. I'll keep writing popular novels for now, and when I have some capital, I'll talk about dreams again. Who knows, maybe by then I'll even have a wife."
"Ah, that's a good way of thinking. The worst thing is to be stuck in extremes," Chen Qi replied.
"Extremes?"
"Yeah, like going all-in on dreams or all-in on reality. Both are just being foolish. Life is all about being flexible and adaptable. You've got the right idea."
"Haha, you're lecturing me again. You're so young, yet you have so much wisdom. And for some reason, I actually listen to you," Liang Xiaosheng laughed.

Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, then decided to share his plan.
"Old Liang, I've actually had this idea for a while now. I want to start my own magazine under a company."
"What kind of magazine?"
