Tongtong finally mustered up her courage and took Sophia's hand, but the two had already arrived at the dormitory entrance when the dormitory supervisor was already holding the key to lock the door.
Sofia let go of Tongtong's hand, skipped inside, and then gestured to her through the glass.
“Call me when you get back.”
Tongtong nodded, hesitated for two seconds, and before his aunt came over, he pushed the door open, cupped her face, kissed her on the forehead, and then quickly retreated out of the building.
Sofia blushed instantly when she saw his triumphant smile.
On the way back, Tongtong's lips never stopped smiling.
Although he didn't confess his feelings, he was clear about his own heart; he wanted to develop a relationship with Sophia.
After meeting again, the two did not spend much time together, but both were unwilling to settle and had never dated before. They were each other's first love.
After he got home, he immediately called her again.
This time, he asked her the question he had wanted to ask all night: would you be his girlfriend?
Sofia gave a soft "hmm" and happily agreed.
"However, I still have a year until graduation, and I'll consider it after that..."
She originally intended to say that she would consider marriage after graduation.
Tongtong misunderstood, thinking she was going to talk about returning to China, and quickly said in a pleading tone:
"After graduation, can you stay in China? If you want to go back to the US, I can go back with you anytime."
Sofia paused for a moment, then smiled:
"That depends on whether you propose to me or not. I don't have parents now, so I naturally live with my husband."
Tongtong didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and solemnly promised, "If you are still satisfied with me by then, we can get married."
The two chatted until late into the night, finalizing their wedding plans.
In the days that followed, the two met frequently because of the debate competition.
Every time they finished their work at the TV station, they would go out for a late-night snack, take a walk, and finally return to the apartment, where one would sleep on the bed and the other on the sofa.
Sofia said she wanted to save her first night for her wedding, and Tongtong respected her wishes, always keeping their kisses brief.
A month later, Sofia's debate program aired on television and received a great response, setting a new record for television ratings.
Wu Jing won a major television award and received a promotion because of this program.
To express her gratitude to the contestants, she treated the outstanding performers and Tongtong to a meal.
It was only then that she learned that Tongtong and Sophia had become a couple, and they took the opportunity to make their relationship public.
"Tongtong, does your mom know? It's only been a little over a month since you two started dating. That's pretty efficient!"
Wu Jing joked with Tongtong.
Tongtong smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Aunt Jing, we've known each other for a long time. We've been playing together since we were little."
He recounted how Sophia used to come and play in his family's courtyard house when he was a child.
Everyone was stunned. Tongtong's life was really luxurious. She was so young and had already met the children of foreign ambassadors, who even came to visit her.
No wonder his resume is so impressive; he went abroad when he was very young and started his own company when he came back.
They had overcome numerous obstacles to enter Huaqing University, and they always had a sense of superiority.
But when faced with Tongtong, who is the same age, they all admit that they are not as good as her, because they are far behind from the beginning of their family background.
The boy who had previously harbored fantasies about Sophia could only willingly give up now.
After the debate ended, Sofia began her internship.
Instead of interning at a factory like everyone else, she joined Tongtong's company.
The internship is valid as long as the company stamps it.
This gave the two of them the opportunity to be together every day.
Sofia studied communications, so interning at an electronics company was a good fit for her major.
Tongtong first guided her to familiarize herself with the processes of each department in the company, and then let her choose the department to intern in.
In the end, she chose the research and development department.
Because this is also where Tongtong often works.
He not only manages the entire company, but also discusses research progress with everyone.
Once he gets to work, Tongtong immediately becomes serious and taciturn, a stark contrast to his usual friendly demeanor.
kind?
Tongtong's assistant was incredulous when she heard the word from Sofia.
Because their boss always had a stern face and was very sparing with words when dealing with his subordinates.
Sophia's arrival livened up the company atmosphere considerably, and everyone finally saw Tongtong's smiling face.
The debate was broadcast on television, generating significant advertising revenue and bringing in considerable business and orders for the company.
The foreign clients I met at the party last time have also officially signed a cooperation agreement with Tongtong.
They plan to jointly develop a new mobile phone that, compared to the current models on the market, will not only be domestically produced but also have a larger screen and more convenient button operation.
Sofia happens to be involved in this research and development project, spending her days locked in the lab with Tongtong, conducting various research and development activities.
Finally, through their joint efforts, they designed a couple's phone.
Mobile phones come in men's and women's models.
The men's version has a blue base color, while the women's version is pink, and a new music listening function has been added.
After the mobile phone samples were made, Tongtong and Sophia each took one for testing.
After a period of operation, they optimized some of the less user-friendly features, and the phone officially began mass production.
Sofia gave her phone a very trendy name: yawa, which means Adam and Eve.
The phone was an instant hit with young people as soon as it hit the market, and it was reasonably priced. Compared to high-end foreign brands that cost three or four thousand yuan, the Yawa phone was only a little over a thousand yuan.
Many office workers save up some money after working for several months and are finally able to buy a mobile phone.
Yawa began entering major retail stores, and its sales steadily increased among various mobile phone brands. A few months later, it became the best-selling mobile phone.
The company's market value jumped from tens of millions to one billion.
Sofia finished her internship and submitted an excellent internship report to the school.
After returning to school, all that was left for her was her graduation defense.
At this time, the news that Fuqiang Group had reached a cooperation agreement with the most famous architect was also widely reported on television news and in newspapers.
The signing ceremony was a great success. Jiang Ning wouldn't miss such a publicity opportunity, so she specifically asked Wu Jing to give the TV station a prime-time slot.
Wu Jing is now an important member of the TV station and is considered to have some influence.
The two parties collaborated and immediately launched their first project.
This project is a high-end villa project.
From site selection to design to final completion, it takes at least three years.
For Tongtong, who plans to get married after graduation, they couldn't wait for this project.
