Most of the time, having multiple close female friends is a very happy thing.
Unfortunately, this "most of the time" doesn't include holidays.
At that time, Zhou Wang really racked his brains and went to great lengths to safely navigate his birthday, but fortunately, the outcome was still in line with his expectations.
At least for now, these women basically believe he's in a career slump and won't pressure him into making difficult choices, the situation is largely stable... If it weren't for Ding Yi causing trouble during the New Year, it would truly be perfect.
The other benefit laid out by the birthday hints is that even on a sensitive day like Valentine's Day, Zhou Wang doesn't have to worry too much about who to accompany or what kind of gift to give.
... He's wholeheartedly focused on his career, doesn't need to pay attention to anyone.
But the women clearly haven't forgotten him, still showering him with their gifts on February 14th.
