Zhao Qinglan did not come to the capital with the two bodyguard girls; she let the two girls come by themselves.
She stopped traveling around before the Lunar New Year and settled down in Guangzhou.
Because she lives relatively close to Shenzhen now, she goes back there every now and then.
Sometimes it's for work, and sometimes it's just to go out for dinner and shopping with Song Yi. The two are like best friends now.
At first, people felt resentful seeing that Zhao Qinglan's family was well-off and she drove a nice car, and that there were plenty of other families in the residential area. But as time went on, they accepted it.
It's no secret in the residential area that Zhao Qinglan has already opened a branch store in Guangzhou, since she drives in and out almost every day.
As before, whenever Zhao Qinglan needed employees in a new place, she would reserve some positions for military dependents, and now she also reserved positions for veterans.
She naturally had to inform the military region leaders about this, and that's how the word gradually spread.
Some families have very successful children, like Zhao Qinglan's children, whose parents don't have to worry about their children's jobs at all. But there are also many families where the children are only so-so.
If I can't find a suitable job, I might as well work at Zhao Qinglan's shop.
There are also some older military dependents or those with low levels of education who can't find suitable partners outside and whose military regions can't arrange jobs for them. With such good benefits at Zhao Qinglan's shop, they can earn quite a bit if they work hard.
In short, the number of available spots is always in high demand.
However, Zhao Qinglan had done this kind of thing several times before, so she was quite familiar with it. She made sure to explain the difficulties to the military leaders in advance. Even if she was recruiting military dependents, they had to be people who could actually do the work, not just lazy bums who would take the money but not contribute.
When people come to her door to deliver gifts or ask for favors, she can always refuse them.
She definitely won't open that door.
Whether people need her now or might need her in the future, Zhao Qinglan is someone no one can easily offend when she walks around the family area.
Even Tao Ailian, who used to dislike Zhao Qinglan, now tries her best to avoid meeting Zhao Qinglan.
There was nothing she could do; she simply couldn't compare to Zhao Qinglan in any way. When she talked to her husband about it, he would always brush it off and not support her. After a while, she naturally understood what was going on.
Although she usually makes the decisions at home with her loud voice, her husband is actually the one who really makes the decisions.
Zhao Qinglan is truly relaxed when she's not busy with work.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan were like her servants. They lived at home with nothing to do, so they would fight over doing all the housework and cooking.
Now there's only one child left in the family, Sanwa. Sanwa is lazy, but he also doesn't ask for much. If he doesn't talk or make a sound, everyone thinks he's not home; he has a very low profile.
As for Li Huai, he has been quite busy since arriving here and starting his new job, all in order to adapt to the work as quickly as possible.
With more free time, Zhao Qinglan started looking for things to do, such as reading to fill her time or going to Shenzhen to find Song Yi.
She had considered developing a few close friendships with military wives in the family quarters before, but perhaps because she had been too high-profile since she arrived, those military wives always felt that she was too rich and that a woman who was so good at doing business was always hesitant to talk to her or do anything with her.
After several attempts, she gave up trying because she couldn't find anyone who shared her interests.
When it comes to making friends, there's always a sense of fate involved.
She went to Shenzhen frequently, which made Song Yi and her husband quite happy.
She used to visit Yaohua in Shenzhen less often, but now she comes more frequently and appears at the company more often.
Yaohua, unaware of the situation, thought there might be some changes in the company's senior management, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
While chatting with Song Yi, Zhao Qinglan also brought up her daughter.
Song Yi laughed and said, "If my son weren't so young, I would want to marry Xiao Duo and make her my daughter-in-law. We could be in-laws."
Knowing she was joking, Zhao Qinglan didn't take it seriously. "I won't interfere in my daughter's dating life. As long as the other person is of good character and treats Xiaoduo well, I don't have any other requirements."
"If you say that now, you might start finding fault later."
"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, Xiaoduo is still in school, so it's impossible for her to bring me a son-in-law within the next few years."
Xiao Duo, whom they were talking about, performed a dance with her classmates.
Perhaps because there were more singing programs in other languages, this group of young girls attracted a lot of attention with their dancing. After the performance, the audience applauded.
Xiao Duo was the most outstanding one among the group.
Han Yi and his classmates sat in the audience, watching Xiao Duo dance gracefully on stage. They were amazed and had an urge to hide her away.
As soon as Xiaoduo changed her clothes and went outside, Han Yi, holding flowers in his hands, appeared in front of her.
Congratulations on your successful performance.
Several classmates nearby smiled knowingly when they saw Han Yi.
With so many people around, Xiaoduo felt embarrassed to refuse Han Yi, so she accepted the flowers. "Thank you."
Compared to her initial indifference, she is now much more friendly towards Han Yi.
Seeing that the flowers were accepted, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.
At first, he didn't realize his own feelings, thinking that he was just lustful and that once he got the girl, he would quickly lose interest, just like before.
But this time, he felt it was different.
"Li Xiaoduo, can I go to the movies with you during Sunday?" he invited.
"I...I have something to do then," Xiaoduo said, blushing as she ran away.
For some reason, even seeing her like this, Han Yi found her particularly adorable.
He thought to himself, "I need to work harder." He had overheard several people saying that Xiao Duo was the prettiest girl while she was dancing on stage.
Even though he is very confident in himself, he is afraid that he might miss out on the girl he likes because of his arrogance or slow action.
Xiao Duo ran to her seat with the flowers in her arms, and her roommates winked at her when they saw her holding the flowers.
On stage, the welcome party was still going on, but Xiao Duo's heart was pounding and her mind was elsewhere.
From childhood to adulthood, she was always well protected by her parents and brothers. Even though many boys had feelings for her when she was in high school, few dared to confess their love to her.
Moreover, at that time, she was focused entirely on her studies and hadn't thought about dating at all.
But as girls grow older, what young girl doesn't yearn for love?
When watching movies, TV series, or reading novels, she sometimes fantasizes about what kind of people she will meet in the future.
Once they entered university, many people started dating secretly. Couples could often be seen on campus, and the girls in their dorm even discussed it in their room.
Han Yi was handsome and had an exceptional manner of speaking. When he suddenly expressed his affection for her, she couldn't help but be moved.
All I can say is that Han Yi arrived at just the right time.
As for what I said to Xiaolin before, it's true that she's still in school and can't consider blind dates, but that doesn't mean she can't date.
That night, Xiaoduo couldn't sleep.
