    ?

    Jin Jiaojiao has a new friend, a tall American woman with blond hair and blue eyes named Rose.

    Ross is an expert in hydropower engineering. As a specially invited foreign expert of the "Bright Project", her goal is to replace the pine soybean oil lamps in the vast mountains and valleys of Yunnan with transparent electric lights.

    Jin Jiaojiao, who returned to Yunnan, became a reporter for the provincial newspaper.  Because of her good English skills, she was arranged to follow up and report on the poverty alleviation project jointly built by China and Germany, so she got to know Ross, who is not yet fluent in Chinese.

    Ross was nearly ten years older than Jin Jiaojiao. She came from a wealthy place, and when she met Jin Jiaojiao, a young lady who couldn't even take care of herself, she made a lot of jokes.

    For example, when Jin Jiaojiao rushed to Malipo and met Ross for the first time, Ross offered to take her for a walk.  Seeing that there was a large water bottle on her backpack, Rose said in unauthentic Chinese, "Honey, drink less water, you understand."

    But Jin Jiaojiao didn't understand that her delicate skin was nourished by eight glasses of water a day, and she still drank one cup after another habitually.

    I ran into trouble when I was looking for a toilet.  Jin Jiaojiao thought that there would always be a dry toilet, or that there would always be a place to relieve herself when she arrived at the hydropower station base.  I didn't expect it at all: Malipo was so primitive that it could be solved in the open air.

    Jin Jiaojiao was very shy, and finally, under Rose's comfort, she retreated into a group of bushes to solve her physical problems.

    Ross told her that she was born in a middle-class family with a good family background, but she has an inextricable relationship with the poor.  Since she was in college, she has determined to use knowledge to help poor areas develop and progress.

    Rose's bright eyes when he talked about ideals made her fascinated, and she couldn't help but looked towards the heavy mountains in the distance.

    Jin Jiaojiao said: "I know a person who has set his ambition in the mountains and valleys since he was a child. I didn't know it before, but now I know that there are many people like him in Yunnan."

    Jin Jiaojiao raised her hand and pointed forward, and said, "He should be behind that mountain!"

    Rose's blue eyes twinkled, her romantic nature instantly opened, and she said in English: "I guess you must have a story with him, don't you?"

    Jin Jiaojiao smiled bitterly.

    "I made a mistake, and my story with him is over."

    Rose made an exaggerated expression, and she comforted: "You are so kind, God will bless you. Trust me, time will heal everything."

    "Ross, with all due respect, are you married?"

    Ross laughed and shook his head again and again.

    Jin Jiaojiao also laughed, and she said: "In our China, if I haven't gotten married in ten years, my mother will definitely mess up the relationship."

    Ross was puzzled, but Jin Jiaojiao explained that messing up the mandarin ducks means finding someone to marry at will, as long as it is a man.

    "No!"

    "Yes!"

    "No!"

    In the jungle, two women laughed.

    Jin Jiaojiao likes Rose's cheerfulness and sunshine, and even more her romance.

    She also likes the profession of being a reporter. From a hobby in college to a lifelong career, Jin Jiaojiao feels more and more that she has made the right choice.

    However, this correctness did not come easily, and she almost chose another path:

    If Yang Heyu hadn't rejected the offer from the South Asia Thermal Crops Research Institute, she must still be suppressing her wild temper and shrinking in the South Asia laboratory to look at the data.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
