Seeing that Shen Yu was so certain, Qiao Shuhui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Once we're ready, Mommy will go back to China with you to see how things have changed and whether the mainland is really different now."
Shen Yu smiled confidently and replied, "I believe you won't be disappointed."
In the port city, the efficiency with which the wealthy got things done truly opened Shen Yu's eyes.
After lunch, Qiao Shuhui made a phone call first, and then took Shen Yu to the immigration office.
Han Peiying, the head of the immigration bureau, personally came out to greet Qiao Shuhui.
He shook hands with Qiao Shuhui and said with a warm smile, "Chairwoman Qiao, welcome to the Immigration Bureau. It's an honor."
Qiao Shuhui replied with a smile, "Commander Han, I'm sorry to have bothered you today, please don't take offense!"
Han Peiying laughed heartily and said, "I'm more than happy to welcome you. How could I be offended? Chairman Qiao is too kind."
He then looked at Shen Yu, who was standing next to Qiao Shuhui, and asked her with a smile, "Chairwoman Qiao, this must be your daughter, right?"
Qiao Shuhui smiled and nodded, then introduced her to Han Peiying, "This is my only daughter, her name is Shen Yu."
She then turned to Shen Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, quickly greet Commander Han."
Shen Yu also gave Han Peiying a polite nod, "Commander Han, hello!"
Han Peiying also smiled and praised her, "Miss Shen really looks just like Chairman Qiao. She's so beautiful and has such a great temperament. No wonder they're mother and daughter!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Han Peiying quickly invited Qiao Shuhui and her daughter to his office.
Then he called over a staff member and took Shen Yu to have her photo taken and get her ID processed.
While Qiao Shuhui and Han Peiying were drinking a pot of tea, Shen Yu's Hong Kong ID card was processed.
In those days, the ID cards in the port city were still filled out by hand.
After Shen Yu's photo was taken, the staff filled in her personal information by hand, stamped it, and then glued it on, and that was it.
After Shen Yu got her ID card and returned to Han Peiying's office, Qiao Shuhui asked Han Peiying to help her and her daughter get their return permits.
People from Hong Kong who want to return to the mainland need to obtain a Home Return Permit before they can go back.
Without saying a word, Han Peiying immediately arranged for Qiao Shuhui and Shen Yu to obtain their return permits.
Before leaving, Qiao Shuhui also invited Han Peiying to attend the family reunion banquet held by the Qiao family the day after tomorrow, and asked him to do her the honor of attending.
Han Peiying naturally agreed.
Qiao Shuhui is now a prominent figure in Hong Kong's business community, and many officials of varying ranks want to curry favor with her.
Since it was rare for Qiao Shuhui to need his help, Han Peiying naturally wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with her for future use.
As they exited the immigration office, Qiao Shuhui asked Shen Yu, "Xiao Yu, are you tired?"
Shen Yu replied, "I'm not tired."
Qiao Shuhui then asked for her opinion, "If you're not tired, how about Mommy takes you to the shopping mall in Central?"
Shen Yu knew that Qiao Shuhui was eager to make it up to her, so she smiled and went along with her wishes, "Okay, I'll listen to Mommy."
Qiao Shuhui had the driver take Shen Yu around the area first, while she introduced the various scenic spots and buildings to Shen Yu.
In her previous life, Shen Yu frequently traveled to Hong Kong for business.
But at that time, towering skyscrapers already covered the entire area around Hong Kong Island.
In comparison, the port city at that time was relatively dilapidated, with far fewer high-rise buildings, and many of the landmark buildings that would later become famous had not yet been built.
The first place Qiao Shuhui took Shen Yu to was Prince's Building, a shopping mall popular with wealthy people in Hong Kong.
It sells jewelry, clothing, and other items from major brands, and the prices on the tags are quite shocking. It's a great place for wealthy people to shop.
Qiao Shuhui smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Xiao Yu'er, if you like any clothes or jewelry, just buy it. Don't worry, Mommy will pay for everything."
Shen Yu laughed heartily, "Mommy, you're so generous! But I love it!"
Qiao Shuhui was amused by her exaggerated expression. "You silly child, you really love to joke. You are Mommy's only baby. Mommy earns so much money, if I don't spend it on you, who else would I spend it on?"
Shen Yu hugged her and affectionately rubbed her face against hers, "Thank you, Mommy~"
Children who are loved and pampered by their mothers are truly blessed!
Especially if you have a wealthy mom who's willing to spend a lot of money on you, then the happiness is doubled!
Shen Yu now deeply understands how lucky she is to have a wealthy mother.
Before this, whether in her past life or this life, she had always considered herself a giving person.
But now, in front of Qiao Shuhui, she's become someone who can act cute and effortlessly win at happiness—she's so happy she wants to cry!
Does this mean she no longer needs to work hard?
It sounds wonderful!
"Xiao Yu'er, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so silly?"
Shen Yu looked up at her mother and met Qiao Shuhui's smiling and teasing eyes.
Shen Yu chuckled and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything. I just feel so happy to have Mommy love and care for me!"
A flicker of guilt and heartache flashed across Qiao Shuhui's eyes, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "My precious daughter will always be this happy! I promise!"
Shen Yu guessed what she was thinking and quickly said, "Mommy, you don't need to overthink it. I didn't actually suffer much. After I went to the countryside, I quickly married Shi Lei. Shi Lei treats me very well, and I feel very happy with him. Please don't overthink it, don't blame yourself, and don't put pressure on yourself, okay?"
