Before Deng Hongying could finish expressing her admiration for Yang Qiaoqiao, she said, "Qiaoqiao, you're so fluent in English! How can someone be so amazing?"

Can you tell me, is there anything you can't do?

Not to mention Deng Hongying, even Deng Jialing, who came to help Yang Qiaoqiao again this year, looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with eyes full of admiration.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, you are really amazing. Your English has improved so much in just one year."

When she came to work part-time for Yang Qiaoqiao last year, although Yang Qiaoqiao could understand English, she was obviously still stumbling when speaking it. She couldn't say any slightly complicated words and needed a translator's help.

But now Yang Qiaoqiao speaks English so fluently that if you ignore her slight accent, you could easily believe she grew up abroad.

Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I just practice a lot when I have free time."

In her past life, she worked hard to learn English in order to develop the Qin family's business.

Once you learn and master a language, it becomes muscle memory, making it very difficult to forget.

When she came to the exhibition last year, she didn't dare to show her true English level because she didn't know how to explain to Huo Beixiao why her English was so good.

But this year, that concern is completely gone.

Upon hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words, Deng Hongying seemed to receive tremendous encouragement and immediately said firmly, "After I finish these two days of work, I will also study English properly."

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded in strong agreement, "Sister Hongying, you really need to learn English. Our factory's business will eventually go international and reach the world."

English is now the international language; you need to learn it well to better communicate with clients.

"Yes!" Deng Hongying nodded emphatically, instantly becoming full of energy.

They had only exchanged a few words when more people arrived at the exhibition area. They were busy until lunchtime, when the organizers took the guests out for lunch, and Yang Qiaoqiao and the others were finally able to rest for a while.

Just as Yang Qiaoqiao was about to arrange for someone to go out and buy boxed lunches for everyone, Qiao Haifan came over with two large bags of boxes, smiling broadly. "Come on, everyone, you've all worked hard today, time to eat."

The boxed lunch that Qiao Haifan brought was very plentiful, containing not only chicken legs, but also shrimp and vegetables, and the portion was also very large.

Having worked since dawn, everyone was already starving, so they quickly went forward to get their boxed meals and went to the dining area to eat.

Qiao Haifan handed a boxed lunch to Yang Qiaoqiao, saying, "Qiaoqiao, here, this one is for you."

When Yang Qiaoqiao opened her lunchbox, she noticed that her lunchbox was different from everyone else's. Everyone else's lunchbox was probably made in a restaurant, but hers was made at home.

A complex emotion flashed in Yang Qiaoqiao's eyes as she asked Qiao Haifan, "Did you make this yourself?"

Qiao Haifan laughed and said, "How could that be? Qiao Qiao, you think too highly of me. I can't cook such delicious food. Aunt Lin asked Aunt Zhang to make it. I'm just passing on their gift to you."

Hearing Qiao Haifan's words, Yang Qiaoqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little lighter in her heart.

After she said those words to Qiao Haifan during the two kids' birthday celebration last time, she thought Qiao Haifan should give up.

Unexpectedly, the very next day, Qiao Haifan acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to visit An An and Le Le as usual, and meticulously took care of everything he could for her.

She knew very well that she was incapable of reciprocating Qiao Haifan's feelings.

Yang Qiaoqiao has already been betrayed by men twice in her two lifetimes, and she doesn't want to be betrayed a third time.

Moreover, she originally had no romantic feelings for Qiao Haifan.

However, whenever she tried to explain things to Qiao Haifan later, he would always change the subject, giving her no chance to speak.

But the better Qiao Haifan treated her, the more guilty she felt.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Qiao Haifan's serious voice say, "If Qiao Qiao is willing to eat my cooking, I can cook too."

Yang Qiaoqiao subconsciously raised her head and met Qiao Haifan's eyes.

Qiao Haifan's gaze met hers for only a moment before he looked away and said, "Qiao Qiao, take your time eating. I'll go buy some more soda for everyone."

After Qiao Haifan finished speaking, he left.

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

As soon as Qiao Haifan left, Deng Jialing and Deng Hongying immediately sat down next to Yang Qiaoqiao with their lunchboxes.

Now that they had filled their stomachs a little, they had the energy to talk to Yang Qiaoqiao.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, Director Qiao treats you so well, aren't you even a little bit tempted?" Deng Jialing, who was now quite familiar with Yang Qiaoqiao, asked with a gossipy look after sitting down.

Deng Hongying followed up by asking, "Qiaoqiao, you're not still thinking about Huo Beixiao, are you?"

"Although I used to think Huo Beixiao was a pretty good man, now... Qiaoqiao, to be honest, Huo Beixiao is not worth your lingering feelings for him."

When Deng Hongying talked about this, she was actually quite indignant.

When she first met Huo Beixiao while she was selling clothes in a department store, she thought he was a rich, handsome, and reliable man, so she even considered pursuing him back then.

But looking back now, she feels she was completely blind back then.

When she learned that Huo Beixiao had done such a thing, she felt deeply deceived, let alone Yang Qiaoqiao.

Yang Qiaoqiao was somewhat helpless in the face of their gossip and persuasion, and said directly, "I have no feelings for Qiao Haifan, and it has nothing to do with Huo Beixiao."

I simply feel that I don't necessarily need a man in my life.

Deng Hongying looked at Yang Qiaoqiao and really couldn't understand her thoughts.

Yang Qiaoqiao is still so young, and moreover, she is beautiful. Even if she divorced Huo Beixiao and is now remarrying, with her looks and abilities, what kind of man can't she find? How did she come to the point where she doesn't want to find a man?

Deng Jialing completely understood Yang Qiaoqiao's thoughts, and even nodded heavily when she heard Yang Qiaoqiao's words. "Sister Qiaoqiao, you're right. We women can build our own careers and earn our own money. There's absolutely no need to get married and find a man to serve us."

If you didn't have children, you could find a man with good genes to have children, but now you not only have children, but you have both a son and a daughter, so why would you still want to find that awful thing called a man?

Deng Jialing is speaking boldly and passionately, expressing her views.

She then discovered that Qiao Haifan had already bought soda and was now standing next to Yang Qiaoqiao, looking at her.

Deng Jialing: ...

She quickly swallowed back all the nonsense she was about to say, gave an awkward laugh, and then abruptly changed the subject of what she was about to say.

"Sister Qiao, although I think most men are no good and only hold back successful career women like us who can build careers and make money, Director Qiao is an exception..."
