Zhao Aiguo said nonchalantly, "My career started strong but ended weak. I'll have to wait until my Xiaoman graduates! You win this round, but you have to tell me you're getting married first! I'll give you a wedding gift!"

It was her own fault for overestimating herself; at her age, she was still trying to find a better job while still employed. Qi Zhifang thought about it and realized she was right.
