The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 965 - 934 Sincerity, Yuan Hua

Tang Qian, being embroiled within the situation, sometimes couldn’t see things clearly.

"How can this be resolved?" Tang Qian asked, "Yingjie, you see, I’m already of age, and it’s not easy to find a woman I like to spend a lifetime with. Please, help me out."

In order to win the beauty’s heart, Tang Qian was willing to swallow his pride and seek advice from Huo Yingjie.

"Heh heh," Huo Yingjie chuckled. "If someone doesn’t trust you, then you put up something you consider important as collateral to gain their trust. It’s just like when you apply for a loan at the bank, you always need collateral, to show the bank that you have the capital and sincerity to pay back."

Huo Yingjie didn’t say it outright, preferring to give an illustrative example instead.

Tang Qian was taken aback for a moment but soon understood and said, "Thank you, Yingjie."

"Don’t thank me, I’m just talking. It’s still up to you to act," Huo Yingjie said. "The prerequisite for success is that you must be truly sincere."

"Yes, I understand," Tang Qian nodded. "No need to see me out, I’ll go back by myself."

"Heh heh, your car is at Song’s Cuisine, you’re going to walk back?" Huo Yingjie said with a laugh. "Xie Wu, take Tang Qian home."

"Then I’ll be troubling you," Tang Qian said with a smile, his mood lifted as if he had found a solution.

After Tang Qian left, Huo Yingjie came back.

"What were you and Tang Qian talking about outside?" He Tiantian asked. "You better not be giving Tang Qian bad advice and taking his side."

Huo Yingjie hugged He Tiantian from behind and said softly, "Maybe Tang Qian really has reformed. He did indeed ask me about Zhengmin just now, but I sternly refused him, and told him everything depends on his sincerity and determination."

"That’s more like it," He Tiantian said approvingly. "We can’t stop him, but we also can’t abet a tyrant."

Uh, that description was a bit horrifying.

However, Huo Yingjie would never disagree with He Tiantian on such matters.

After all, it didn’t concern him much, as long as his wife was happy.

"Yes, my dear wife," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "Ah, from tomorrow on, I’ll start taking on major projects and won’t come home for lunch, so don’t wait for me."

"Mmm, okay. You’ve had a good rest for a while, it’s time to work hard on your career," He Tiantian said with a smile. "The state has invested a lot of effort in our family. We should also do the state’s work."

From Huo Yingjie, she knew that there were eight people under their family’s protection.

"Yes, don’t worry, what happened before will never happen again," Huo Yingjie said. "I now have full control over the research institute, and even the cleaners are within my supervisory scope."

"That’s good, take care and be safe," He Tiantian said. "Don’t worry about things at home. I’ve stopped working, so when I’m free, I’ll go check on the shops and the books. I can manage."

"Mmm, that puts my mind at ease," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "With my wife here, I have nothing to worry about."

"We are husband and wife, of course, we should support and take care of each other," He Tiantian said with a chuckle. "Alright, hurry up and wash up and rest. I’m sleepy."

Huo Yingjie had been drinking today. After washing up, he was sticky, clingy, and begging for sweets...

Facing such a Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian, overflowing with maternal love, always couldn’t bear to deny Huo Yingjie, so she yielded to him reluctantly.

In pleasing Huo Yingjie, she also found utmost joy.

Afterward, their family began their respective busy routines.

However, Huo Yingjie tried not to work overtime and would get home as early as possible each day, so He Tiantian felt that this was quite good.

If there was an occasional need to work late, he would inform He Tiantian in advance so she could be prepared.

As a homemaker, He Tiantian also led a fulfilling life.

Their child was sensible and did not cry often, only when hungry, wet, or soiled. As for Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin, they usually went to school and played on their own when they got home, not bothering He Tiantian.

In the blink of an eye, deep winter arrived, the skies outside were gloomy, the cold wind howled, and heavy snow was about to come.

He Tiantian asked Lu Wanxia to prepare a hot pot for lunch, something to warm them up.

At that moment, Aunt Guo came in and said, "Tiantian, there’s a girl named Yuan Hua outside, saying she’s your student."

He Tiantian was startled and quickly said, "Quickly, let her in. I do have a student named Yuan Hua."

He Tiantian dared not go outside carelessly, as it was really too cold. She had just drunk a bowl of hot water and was starting to sweat a little.

Aunt Guo led Yuan Hua in, and they saw He Tiantian standing by the door.

"Teacher He, I missed you so much," Yuan Hua said with a smile, coming over to hug He Tiantian.

"I missed you too," He Tiantian smiled, "Right, are you on your winter break?"

Yuan Hua smiled and said, "I’m on break already. I had to come to Yanjing for something, so as soon as I got off the train, I came to visit you."

"Where are you staying then?" He Tiantian asked, "And where’s your luggage?"

Yuan Hua smiled and said, "My luggage is outside. I brought you some lotus seed cakes from Xinghua Building."

"Thank you," He Tiantian smiled, "I like them very much. Right, since you’ve brought your luggage, why don’t you stay at my place for now. Besides visiting me, do you have other business in Yanjing?"

"I’m here for an internship," Yuan Hua said with a smile, having secured the opportunity with some difficulty.

"An internship?" He Tiantian was taken aback, "Which organization are you interning with?"

Yuan Hua nodded and said, "I’ve secured a chance to work at the Huaxia Poetry Association. Their headquarters are here in Yanjing, so I came over. They provide dormitories, Teacher, so I won’t trouble you. Just take me to the dormitory after lunch."

"If that’s the case, I won’t insist on keeping you. After we have lunch, I’ll take you there. Currently, I’m just staying at home looking after the children and not working, so you can come by anytime. If you run into any troubles, you can talk to me. In Yanjing City, I can help where I can. Even if I can’t help, I can find someone who can," He Tiantian genuinely liked this smart and bright young woman.

So far, four collections of poetry and one youth novel had been published.

"Thank you, Teacher He," Yuan Hua smiled, "Seeing you gives me a sense of support in Yanjing City."

"Mm, it’s good that you feel that way," He Tiantian smiled, "By the way, how is everyone else doing?"

Many had internships at local cultural departments, some stayed in Nan City, and others...

"What else?" He Tiantian, seeing Yuan Hua had stopped talking, was a bit curious, "By the way, what about Tang Ping’an? He’s one of the more accomplished in the class; I wonder what kind of choices he will make!"

"Tang Ping’an went to Xiangjiang," Yuan Hua said softly, somewhat bitter.

"To Xiangjiang?" He Tiantian was surprised, "What’s he doing there?"

"Firstly, he went to apply for postgraduate studies at Xiangjiang University, and secondly, for a new book meet-and-greet signing event. He was invited by Ms. Xie," Yuan Hua said, "And Tang Ping’an also wanted to go."
