This is what Daimeng said in Mandarin—still awkward, yet deeply heartfelt. For the first time, she called Mr. Gao Liang "my husband" in front of him, an experience that would remain etched in Gao Liang's memory forever. Thanks to Daimeng's warm understanding and intelligent, graceful encouragement, Gao Liang found the courage and determination to build his life in America. It seems truly a blessing from heaven to have stumbled upon such a rare foreign love in one's life. Gao Liang is determined to cherish this moment, strive to achieve success in America, and become a truly upright and accomplished man, so that Daimeng can enjoy genuine happiness. The two of them then passionately kissed again and again, until they were pale and weak from exhaustion, before finally parting. But they had no idea that outside, a man was glaring at them through the ornately patterned glass window, his face contorted with fury. He snapped his pencil in two with a crisp sound, clenched his fists tightly, and spoke with deep resentment, "Yellow-skinned pig! You took my woman—now I'm going to break you!" The official public launch of *Top Gear: Storm of the Winds* is less than a month away. For Electronic Arts, time is tight and the workload heavy. The headquarters has increased investment in R&D, and the design team for this game has taken on a significant share of the responsibilities. As a result, the design department is extremely busy. As the chief designer, Peter leads over 100 design staff, working tirelessly. Yet despite the increased workload, everyone still maintains regular weekends off and an eight-hour workday—only the intensity of work has risen, and efficiency has improved. As a regular new hire, although he felt fully capable of handling his role as a signed professional player, English remained his weak point. The work he was assigned—daily tasks directly issued by Peter—required constant interaction with English, and now he found himself struggling. Staring at piles of fully English design drawings, he felt his head spinning. "If only Old Li were in China, at least he wouldn't have to suffer from his poor English!" High亮 suddenly developed a strong aversion to English. TMD, what a pain! Old Li's English was even above the level of a fourth-grade standard back home—yet in the U.S., he now acted like a complete beginner, barely understanding even specific English terms used in games like *F1 Grand Prix*. Remember, back home, the game he played was in Chinese—how could it be that once he stepped abroad, he now had to understand English everywhere? Man, I'm completely lost! It's already taken half an hour, and I'm still struggling to comprehend even a single paragraph of English—what does it mean? Well, be it that way! After all, the company doesn't expect much from new hires—just that they have the experience. Thinking vaguely like this, she suddenly heard her name being called. Looking up, she saw a young American man named Mike. Mike and his girlfriend, Julie, both work at Electronic Arts. High-light had saved Daimona and Mike and Julie in the Chinese neighborhood, and now, upon meeting them again at Electronic Arts, the four of them quickly became close friends. The enthusiastic Mike pointed to a rare character—the "zhong" in "Zhongguo"—in a document and asked, "GaoLiang! I just can't figure it out. Your country is called 'China' internationally, yet in Chinese, it's called 'Zhongguo.' Why 'China'? What does the character 'zhong' really mean?" "Ah!" "Highlight was at a loss for words, as he couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the Chinese character 'Zhong' in this context. However, his mind worked quickly, and he offered a response that seemed reasonably satisfactory: 'When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, our great leader, Chairman Mao, announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Since the full name was quite long, we simply referred to it as "China."'" "But!" Mike shook his head, saying, "Yesterday I read several books from your country, and I learned that the term 'China' has been in use since ancient times!" "Oh!" Highlight was surprised. This enthusiastic and sincere American young man seemed genuinely interested in the history and culture of their nation. Thinking about how little he himself knew about English, he felt a deep sense of humility. Just as Mike and Gao Liang were unsure how to respond, a sentence in Chinese came through—though not perfectly fluent, it was deeply heartfelt: "I read a history book about China yesterday and was deeply inspired by the richness and depth of Chinese ancient culture. Do you think the Chinese character 'China' means 'the central kingdom of the vast world'?" Her voice was soft and melodious, like a magnet drawing people in. Mike and Gao Liang looked up to see Miss Daina, wearing a dress, smiling with such grace and elegance that it was truly beautiful and noble. Gao Liang felt deeply grateful to Daina—never having expected her to be so interested in Chinese historical and cultural traditions, surpassing even his own understanding. Mike clapped his hands in praise, exclaiming, "China is really great!" "All three shared a common language—one they were proud of: China. Yet, a discordant voice emerged: 'What kind of China? Do our strong U.S. wealth have it?' When they saw Peter arrive, his face was deeply troubled. Michael didn't want to offend his superior, so he quickly tugged at the crisp edges of his shirt, signaling for him to calm down; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep his place in the company. But Peter remained undisturbed, facing reality head-on. Michael sighed and quietly retreated, back to his office, where he settled down to go through a pile of documents. Gaoliang is a determined Eastern man who, in front of many colleagues, bravely confronted Peter in the large design department office: "China has a glorious cultural history spanning five thousand years. Among the four ancient civilizations, China stands out. While the United States has only a few hundred years of history, how can you possibly compare with China? Although China's education, technology, and culture are still developing, the Chinese dragon has awakened. In recent years, China has continuously carried out reforms and opening-up, achieving remarkable progress in economic development. In many areas, we now stand at or even lead international levels. I am confident that soon you will witness a stronger China—eventually surpassing the United States!" Though Gaoliang's English was still awkward, no matter how awkward, he could not possibly embarrass himself before this top-tier, dismissive American manager. Everyone paused their current tasks, eyes fixed on the highlighted speaker. Though their English wasn't fluent, their tone was firm and confident, and they quietly admired the highlighted person's courage and patriotism. Daina's sapphire eyes sparkled instantly. With a graceful hand, she brushed her soft, flowing golden hair from her forehead, a gentle smile forming at the corner of her lips. She looked at the highlighted person with deep appreciation—a gaze so heartfelt that Peter felt his lungs nearly burst, as he had never received such a look before. He gave a sharp, scornful smile and said, "Highlight, I'm your supervisor. You claimed China is stronger than the U.S.—well, then, today I'll assign you a task. If you complete it, fine! If you fail, get out of here and go back to China!" "Agreed!" Despite the intense gestures from all employees urging him not to accept, and despite Daina subtly signaling her approval, Highlight calmly accepted. Everyone's spirits sank, with Daina looking especially anxious—she knew Peter well; he was always firm in his decisions. Indeed, as everyone had expected, Peter stepped forward with confidence and assigned the most daunting task to Gao Huang right in front of all of them. "Mike, fetch your 256-page fully Chinese game document right now! I want it translated into English by eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow!" "Peter, I really think we should—," Mike pleaded, his face falling as he tried to appeal, but Peter waved him off with a gesture. Daina was so furious she nearly fainted, exclaiming, "Peter, are you mad?" Yet Peter, beaming with satisfaction, leaned in close to Daina's ear and said, "I'd like to know how you'd handle it!" Then, with a mischievous smile, he reached out to pinch Daina's chest—her beloved white rabbit. Daina had anticipated this, so she quickly stepped behind Gao Huang. Gao Huang, deeply indignant, clenched his fists tightly and said, "Don't touch the old guard woman!" This message reached all employees, and surprisingly, the highlight was delivered in fluent, rapid English—soon, the relationship between Daimon and Gao Liang became widely known throughout the company's global headquarters.
