Let's talk about Yu Xiang and Erwa.
Yu Xiang performed exceptionally well after starting work at the branch store.
In just a few months, he became a full-fledged store manager.
She also won the Outstanding Employee award at the end of the year, which made both herself and Zhao Qinglan very satisfied.
With her mother's financial support, Erwa's business is thriving.
Although the food magazine didn't become a huge hit, it did gain a certain level of recognition.
The most impressive programs are food shows, because they have great ideas, and the effects of both the pre-production filming and post-production editing are excellent and highly praised by the audience.
Zhao Qinglan's investment in this food program wasn't for nothing; there were quite a few product placements on her screen.
Because the show became popular, the sales feedback from the advertisements was also very good.
With these achievements, Erwa became even more motivated to work.
However, the young couple are currently busy with their careers and have no plans to have children immediately.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai didn't urge them either; they didn't care whether or not they had a child, they wanted to make their own decisions.
Now that Xingxing and Jin'er are here, they're not so eager for little babies anymore.
The family's career and life were going smoothly, and the Chinese New Year was fast approaching.
Xiao Duo and the others couldn't come back for Chinese New Year this year, so they went to the Zhou family's house together. However, Yi Ningxiang didn't go this time; she went back to the United States to have fun with her friends.
The eldest child brought his family, the second child and his wife, and the third child, who had returned from abroad, all gathered at home to spend the Lunar New Year with their parents.
Originally, Sanwa wasn't in a hurry to return to China and wanted to continue his studies abroad.
However, he and his supervisor had just finished their project and there was nothing urgent going on recently, so his sister called again to urge him to come home.
And so, Sanwa came back for the Chinese New Year.
Jin'er felt a little lonely this year because Xingxing didn't come back for the New Year with her.
However, having grown a year older and already attending kindergarten, Jin'er has become much more sensible.
Because Jin'er is so cute and pretty, many children in the residential area like to play with her.
The older children are very attentive to their little princess.
No matter when Jin'er goes out, there is always at least one adult with her.
When the children came back this time, Zhao Qinglan also took out all the gifts she had received and let them choose one as a New Year's present.
The children were numb to their mother's generosity, knowing that she genuinely wanted to give them the gifts, so they simply picked what they liked.
Jin'er didn't know what to choose, so Zhao Qinglan took it upon herself to help her granddaughter pick.
As a result, Jin'er's little treasure trove grew considerably. At such a young age, the value of what she owned was probably higher than what her parents owned.
However, Da Wa and Ji Rou wouldn't feel uncomfortable about it.
The more their daughters have, the less they worry about their future.
1997 came to a successful close, and with the song "See You in 1998" playing in the Spring Festival Gala, they also ushered in the new year.
Sanwa was eager to return to school, so he took a plane from the port city right after the Lunar New Year.
When he returned to school and was about to get into his new research project, he was startled by a sudden suitor.
"Li, I really like you, let's date," the blonde, blue-eyed girl said enthusiastically.
Sanwa had no interest in dating, especially with a foreign girl; he was even less interested.
Even after rationally refusing, the girl did not give up.
Unlike girls in China who are generally reserved and would usually be too embarrassed to pursue someone after being rejected, she is different.
This girl was stubborn and believed that her enthusiasm would definitely move Sanwa, so she came to see him again and again.
If it were outside of school, Sanwa could hide, but inside school, he couldn't very well prevent the girl from going to school.
That's right, this enthusiastic girl is also a student at Princeton.
I even took the same class as Sanwa and was impressed by his eloquence in debating with everyone else.
When Sanwa won the award, I admired him even more.
The girl originally planned to boldly confess her love to Sanwa before the New Year, but Sanwa went back to his own country for the New Year.
So as soon as Sanwa returned to school, he was met with a fierce offensive from the girl.
Faced with this girl, Sanwa's usually sharp tongue was rendered useless, and he could only try to avoid people.
Old Hei, who worked in the same lab as Sanwa, looked at Sanwa with a puzzled expression.
How could this guy be so unmoved by such a beautiful woman?
It's not like we're getting married, it's just dating. If the girl were pursuing him, he would have said yes already.
Sanwa solemnly told the other person that even dating is a very serious and sacred thing.
The key point is that he doesn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing.
Old Hei could only stop trying to persuade him, feeling both envious and helpless.
Xiao Duo went back to the US with Zhou Yunting and visited Sanwa. When she learned about her younger brother's predicament, she was extremely gloating.
Even though we were separated by the ocean, I called my family to tell them about it.
When Zhao Qinglan learned that her youngest son was being pursued by a foreign girl, she marveled at her son's great charm.
After all, Europeans and Americans don't really like the appearance of Asians.
Upon learning of his youngest son's ordeal, Li Huai worriedly said, "What if he actually brings back a foreigner?"
Unlike his wife, he wasn't as open-minded and still couldn't accept that his son had brought a foreign partner home.
"Don't worry, Xiaoduo said that Sanwa isn't interested in foreign girls at all."
"That's good." Li Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
"I mean, would you rather your son stay single than see him date a foreigner?" Zhao Qinglan asked curiously.
This problem immediately put Li Huai in a dilemma.
It seems better for my son to have a partner than to remain single, but if that partner is a foreigner...
Zhao Qinglan was happy to see her husband make a fool of himself, and even added fuel to the fire, saying, "Actually, dating a foreigner isn't all bad. Mixed-race babies are usually very good-looking."
Uh, he hasn't even found a partner yet, and he's already talking about mixed-race grandchildren. Li Huai is having a headache.
Being chased by a foreign girl greatly improved Sanwa's ability to hide from people.
His advisor later found out and teased him, saying that having a romantic relationship is a way to relax in addition to studying and researching.
However, Sanwa politely declined.
What's there to relax about? He'd rather go to the library and read more books than relax like this.
Foreign girls are so devoted to him that they've started learning Chinese and understanding Chinese culture.
She felt that she didn't understand Sanwa well enough and that there were cultural differences between them, which was why Sanwa was unwilling to accept her.
Since that's the case, she tried to learn about his country's culture and also tried to get closer to him.
Once she and he have common topics to talk about, he will definitely be willing to date her.
If it were someone else, they would surely be moved by the girl's infatuation.
Unfortunately, Sanwa is no ordinary person; all he wants to do now is graduate as soon as possible and return to China.
The foreign girl didn't know that because of her, the already hardworking and ambitious Sanwa was now working even harder to get his doctorate as soon as possible.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Sanwa.
