So powerful that even Miss Chen Rou, whom Nie Zhao always felt was invincible, could feel lost, which greatly intrigued Nie Zhao.
In that instant, he even forgot his own panic and wanted to find out his wife's problem and help her solve it.
Even at this moment, he forgot to doubt everything, and his heart returned to his chest.
He returned to being the calm, rational, and clear-headed Chairman Nie, capable of seeing all the problems clearly.
The car is almost at the main venue, the convention center. The streets are lined with police officers on duty, and the roads are wide.
Chen Rou frankly admitted: "This seems to be the first time since I became an adult that I have truly been a viewer, an ordinary viewer."
Nie Zhao probably didn't understand, so she explained again: "In the past, if there was such a grand event, I would definitely be a small cog in the whole process. I am small, but I am also very important, just as important as everyone else. Only when everyone works together can we ensure that there are no accidents. I would always be under high pressure on the verge of collapse. I never knew what it would feel like to be a participating audience member, or what kind of mood it would be. That made me very uneasy."
Nie Zhao paused for a moment, then understood what his wife meant.
He said, "It's like an artist has finished creating his work, an architect has built his building, and today, you've finished your task. Now you should be an audience member and appreciate what's happening, just as an artist appreciates his trauma and an architect appreciates his building."
Seeing that his wife remained silent, he knew that the two had different values and that she also found it difficult to understand.
He then said, “Ah Rou, you admire those who cultivate without expecting anything in return, but Ah Rou, before Ah Yuan came into my life, I did not sing praises of the spirit of sacrifice. Now, I think I am only willing to sacrifice myself for him and for you. Nothing else is worth it. You are the same. You deserve to receive and enjoy the fruits of your labor, and there is nothing shameful about that.”
When he didn't speak, Chen Rou couldn't explain those feelings in detail.
She had always been the one helping Nie Zhao find the answers, but today, he solved the mystery in her heart.
Yes, that was a sense of shame, stemming from the spirit of sacrifice she had been taught since childhood.
She was sitting in the car, which had already stopped. She would walk to the security checkpoint and then proceed directly to the venue after passing through the security check.
She will appreciate everything that happened today, but also her predecessors, comrades, confidants, and everyone connected to her.
Even Song Yuanchao was still busy, which made her feel confused and guilty.
Nie Zhao's statement is not entirely accurate, because without the selfless sacrifice of a generation, we would not have achieved what we have today.
But he was right about one thing: she shouldn't feel ashamed of enjoying the fruits of her labor; on the contrary, she should feel proud.
Because it was her predecessors, fathers and ancestors who were willing to dedicate themselves and make sacrifices.
It is their blood, sweat, and tears, and the loneliness they endured, that have brought us to where we are today.
They were willing to sing praises of sacrifice, to sacrifice themselves voluntarily, just so that she could see the prosperity of today.
It was all to support her and allow her to attend this grand event today.
They might be in Kowloon, in the New Territories, or on the main streets of the island.
Or perhaps you're on your way to the convention center, or maybe you're in front of the TV watching the live broadcast.
Just like Nie Zhao regarded A Yuan as his hope and his spiritual pillar.
She was the same; she was the hope lifted up by those predecessors who were still busy as if facing a formidable enemy.
They are the hopes of girls like Li Xia, Xiao Zhang, Nie Han and Bao Yuyan, and Nie Jiayu's girlfriend.
She is also their eyes, everyone's eyes.
She represents their complex and abundant hopes, and she represents all of them, coming to this grand event.
Why should she be fearful, confused, and uneasy?
It's time to get off the bus. Outside, the night is brighter than daytime, thanks to the flashes of reporters' cameras.
Nie Zhao went first, turned to the other side, and opened the car door.
Chen Rou took a deep breath. Compared to this kind of occasion, she preferred to shoot pirates on the high seas.
But today, she represents many girls, and she is also the hope of her predecessors. She must stand in front of the reporters, confident and smiling, because she represents them.
Since there was no Q&A session, there was only constant flashing of cameras. Although staff members suggested that Chen Rou stay a little longer to take photos, she left early, giving the space to others.
She took Nie Zhao's hand and was about to answer his question: "Of course this is not a dream, because tonight is not the end of Hong Kong, but its new beginning, nor is it the end of my life, but the beginning of the next journey."
She shook his wrist again and said with a smile, "Stop daydreaming. Two kids are much harder to take care of than one. And you know, after I come back, I'll be running a company and starting a business. I won't have time to take care of the kids. So get ready, Mr. Nie, you'll be taking care of two kids from now on."
Nie Zhao is a wealthy man, but he is also born to worry and suffer, and he is used to hardship.
He remembered. Yes, once he returned, Song Yuanchao would resolutely leave him without looking back, and then go to help his wife open a security company. With one capable person gone, he would have to train someone else again. How troublesome!
Two babies would definitely be much harder to take care of, because even with one more, he can't neglect his love for A Yuan. He can only save more time to take care of the baby. Will he have enough time?
The benefit of enduring hardship and toil is that it allowed Nie Zhao to personally experience that this was not a dream, but a real life.
Today is not the end of the story. Tomorrow, he will still need to work out, earn money, and take care of his child.
