Vivi’s entrepreneurial journey has been full of ups and downs. On one overseas business trip, she set out with high hopes to negotiate with a key buyer. However, the meeting did not go as planned—the deal fell through, leaving her disheartened. As night fell, she wandered the unfamiliar streets, trying to clear her thoughts in the crisp evening air.

That was when a small, fragile figure caught her attention. Near a street corner trash bin, a shivering white Chihuahua scavenged for food, its wary eyes filled with sadness and distrust.

Compassion surged through Vivi as she knelt down, taking out a piece of bread from her bag and gently placing it in front of the dog. Yet, instead of immediately pouncing on the food, the little dog hesitated, its frail body tensed with caution, as if uncertain whether to trust a human again.

Vivi didn’t force her approach. Instead, she patiently sat nearby, speaking in a soft, reassuring tone. Time seemed to slow as she waited, allowing the stray to sense that she meant no harm. Eventually, hunger overcame fear, and the dog carefully moved forward to eat.

After finishing the bread, the Chihuahua hesitated before looking up at Vivi, a newfound trust flickering in its gaze. When Vivi finally stood up to leave, the dog wobbled after her on its tiny legs, unwilling to be left behind again.

This moment deeply moved Vivi. While the failed negotiation had left her lost, this small, helpless creature had given her a profound sense of purpose. She made a decision—she would take the dog in and name it “Lai DingDang” meaning “incoming orders” symbolizing good fortune and new beginnings.
