But now, Huo Yingjie is very happy.

"Foxi Auto is doing well, it's developing rapidly, and its sales volume is expected to increase dramatically this year," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "By the way, are you going to launch a new model at this auto show?"

Huo Yingjie would never have asked before, nor did he bother to ask; he always maintained an attitude of "out of sight, out of mind."

Qi Zhenghan naturally sensed Huo Yingjie's change in attitude.

However, thinking back on my previous obsession, I realized that I had created a cage for myself and also caused unhappiness to others.

Fortunately, he has now realized his mistake and returned to the right path. God has taken pity on him and allowed him to find the woman he loves.

Qi Zhenghan finally understood what He Tiantian meant: only by meeting the right person at the right time can one achieve fulfillment.

The only thing to say about him and He Tiantian is that they met at the wrong time, so they could never be together.

If Huo Yingjie knew Qi Zhenghan's feelings, he would be even more critical: It's clearly the wrong thing to meet the wrong person. He and He Tiantian met the right person at the right time; they're a match made in heaven.

"Hehe, yes, there are two new domestically produced models this year. That makes us four models now. We've also set up a special section for imported cars this year. If anyone is interested, we can help import some models, mainly targeting the needs of some of the wealthiest people in China," Qi Zhenghan said with a smile. "Want one as a gift?"

Huo Yingjie felt incredibly bitter upon hearing this.

I remember the car the research institute assigned to him—it was a beat-up Jeep from the 1950s!

It's unbearably hot in summer and drafty in winter.

However, this is a benefit provided by the state to scientific researchers, and their safety is guaranteed, so they cannot refuse it.

"No need, I'm a civil servant, I can't be too high-profile," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. Actually, he really wanted it, especially since he no longer had any prejudice against Qi Zhenghan and felt no pressure at all to accept Qi Zhenghan's gift!

But we can't accept it!

We're losing a fortune!

In his previous life, Huo Yingjie had no lover, no children, and no bad habits. His only hobby was cars, and he had many nice and luxury cars in his garage.

"Hehe, that's a pity." Qi Zhenghan shrugged. "But I have a car that's suitable for a lady to drive, and I'll give it to Tiantian when the time comes."

"Sure, I'll experience it too," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, feeling perfectly at ease. However, he also knew that He Tiantian wouldn't take Qi Zhenghan's car for free; she would definitely pay for it.

Unexpectedly, He Tiantian overheard this and said directly, "Brother Qi, I have a car. That thing is just a means of transportation. Why do you need so many? They take up space."

He Tiantian seems to be determined to use her Volkswagen Beetle until it's retired.

"Hehe, it's nice to change cars sometimes. Your Beetle is too small," Qi Zhenghan laughed. "There won't be enough space for your family to travel in the future."

“Uh, that’s true.” He Tiantian nodded. “Then I’ll reluctantly accept it, but I still have to pay for it. It’s fine if it’s just me, but as you can see, Brother Yingjie and my father-in-law are both civil servants. Even if it’s a gift from outside, we have to be clear about the details. It’s better to just pay for it directly.”

"Okay, I'll give you a discount later," Qi Zhenghan said with a smile. He Tiantian was still the same as before, not one to take advantage of others.

Zhang Mengmeng smiled, not really caring; this was business between the two families.

The only thing she ever cared about was Qi Zhenghan's heart.

As long as his heart is with her, nothing else matters!

Qi Zhenghan had lunch at the Huo family's house. Huo Zhekun returned from the government to receive Qi Zhenghan at noon.

Zhang Meng was stunned when she saw Huo Zhekun.

Working at the Nanshi Daily, she often saw photos of leaders in the newspaper and naturally recognized the dashing man in front of her as the important figure in the newspaper, the Governor of Jiangsu Province, Huo Zhekun.

"Governor Huo...hello!" Zhang Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly. "I'm Teacher He's student, Zhang Mengmeng!"

"Hello!" Huo Zhekun smiled and shook hands with Zhang Mengmeng. Although he didn't know why his daughter-in-law's student came with Qi Zhenghan, he would treat her kindly and as a junior just because she was his daughter-in-law's student.

Qi Zhenghan came over and introduced, "Now that you know Governor Huo, you'll be seeing him often in the future, so don't be too surprised. Uncle Huo, this is my fiancée. She heard that Yingjie and Tiantian are back, so she came to visit."

Upon hearing that she was Qi Zhenghan's fiancée, Huo Zhekun became even more enthusiastic and said with a smile, "Come visit often when you have time! Come on, it's time to eat, let's go to the dining room."

Zhang Mengmeng was a little nervous during the meal, but when He Tiantian talked to her, she relaxed a lot.

Huo Zhekun, Huo Yingjie, and Qi Zhenghan are discussing corporate management.

Qi Zhenghan started his internship at his family's company right after graduating from high school, accumulating a wealth of experience. Despite the different national circumstances, Qi Zhenghan's insights were all quite remarkable, giving Huo Zhekun a refreshing feeling.

After dinner, Huo Zhekun even called Qi Zhenghan into his study to continue chatting, delaying the afternoon meeting by two hours.

Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng's visit ended at 3 p.m.

After Qi Zhenghan left, He Tiantian smiled with relief and said, "It seems that Brother Qi and Zhang Mengmeng have a good relationship. I can feel relieved now."

“Yes, I’m at peace with it now,” Huo Yingjie said softly. “A man who has feelings for you is hanging around in front of me, I really want to punch him.”

"Alright, now that Brother Qi has found a good home, let's be happy for him." He Tiantian giggled and took Huo Yingjie's arm. "Don't say anything sarcastic, after all, he's also an important family member to me."

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "I was very hospitable to him today, only because he has already relaxed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to entertain him."

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie are discussing Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng.

Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng, who were sitting in the car, were also discussing He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

"Zhenghan, Teacher He actually married into such a good family," Zhang Mengmeng said. "Then Teacher He must also come from a family of meritorious officials, right?"

“When Tian Tian and Huo Yingjie fell in love, Tian Tian hadn’t yet recognized her grandmother; they were just an ordinary family,” Qi Zhenghan said. “So not all happy love stories are about matching social status.”

Qi Zhenghan understood Zhang Mengmeng's worries and anxieties.

“However, Teacher He is also a very capable person.” Zhang Mengmeng nodded and said, “I want to learn from Teacher He and become a self-reliant woman.”

"Hehe, Tian Tian is indeed very outstanding, but you are outstanding too," Qi Zhenghan praised. "For example, you can write a poignant love story, which I can't."

“So, I do have my strengths too,” Zhang Mengmeng said happily. “I will work hard, and I also think you are amazing, a real man.”

Qi Zhenghan smiled upon hearing Zhang Mengmeng's praise.

The two smiled at each other, held hands, and faced the storms ahead together.
