Chapter 1056: Chapter 1025: Sponsorship Souvenirs

Alas, one cannot help but marvel at the peculiar nature of blood ties.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, the siblings were still very close.

This was also because their parents and grandmother often talked about He Tiantian to He Doudou, and He Doudou frequently heard news about her sister along with their regular letter exchanges, so there were no barriers.

He Doudou chatted with her sister on the sideline, not letting He Jingyu or Wang Shuping get a word in.

Seeing that an hour had passed and He Doudou was still not stopping, He Tiantian wanted to talk to her grandmother and parents.

"He Doudou, my student, grandmother and parents are right here. I want to talk to them. When my competition is over, we can have a good chat, okay?" He Tiantian said, "By the way, it will be summer vacation by then. You can come back to the country, and I will take you around domestically."

He Doudou nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, Sister, I can’t wait to travel around the country."

"Grandmother, Mom and Dad, how did you manage to convince Coach Wu?" He Tiantian asked, because in their team, athletes were not allowed to move around on their own.

He Jingyu chuckled and said, "I know that the income for domestic athletes is low. Coming out to compete, they can’t afford to buy some souvenirs, so I sponsored a souvenir for each member of your team as support for our country’s sports industry."

"Oh, that’s how it is." He Tiantian nodded, "That’s pretty good."

"Grandmother, how are our cosmetics selling overseas?" He Tiantian asked, as just this month, they released a complete series including a face mask, face wash, toner, whitening cream, hydrating cream, eye cream, primer, foundation cream, and so forth.

These products did not all launch at once, but a new item or two was released each quarter, continually causing a sensation in the fashion world.

The Beautifying Series had now become a high-end product.

It was expensive, and the effects were very good.

"Very good," Bai Qiongyu said, "Your mother and I both use it. It’s a very nice cosmetic product that has successfully elevated our brand from second-rate to first-rate, creating a significant impact in Paris and around the world. In the next ten years, cosmetics will bring us huge profits."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Not just within ten years, Grandmother, but within twenty years, or even longer, it will make money."

Bai Qiongyu smiled, glanced at He Tiantian, and said, "Then when you have time, have Yingjie update the formula."

"Mhm, naturally," He Tiantian nodded, "As for the external packaging, changing it frequently could also bring some novelty."

"Hehe, you don’t need to worry about that, I’ll take care of it," Bai Qiongyu said, "Our bottles are so beautiful that many people enjoy collecting them. By the way, perfume is also a good business. If possible, I would like to venture into that as well."

"Okay, I will talk to Brother Yingjie when I get back," He Tiantian nodded, as all research matters were left to Huo Yingjie.

If he could handle rare military materials, let alone cosmetics.

An hour and a half flew by quickly.

He Tiantian had to leave.

"Grandmother, Mom, Dad, Dou Dou, I need to go back, the team is about to have dinner," He Tiantian said softly. Although she was reluctant, she had to leave.

For safety reasons, He Tiantian couldn’t eat or drink anything outside.

An hour and a half left her feeling parched and dry-mouthed.

"Mmm, then you should head back, since we’ll see each other again in a couple of days," Bai Qiongyu said. Although reluctant, she knew she couldn’t force her to stay.

"Tiantian, after your competition, Mom will take you to eat something delicious," Wang Shuping said sorrowfully, noticing her daughter’s lips were dry.

"Mmm, I’ll eat a lot then," He Tiantian promised, then said goodbye to everyone.

He Doudou even walked her sister to the hotel entrance and waited until she had entered before turning back.

When He Tiantian returned, she just happened to run into Xie Feifei at the door of her room.

"Sister He, where are you going? We’re about to go eat, and there’s a meeting tonight," Xie Feifei said. She had been looking for He Tiantian just before.

"It’s okay, I just went out to see my family," He Tiantian smiled. "They came to see my competition."

Xie Feifei, envious, said, "Sister He, you’re so lucky, having them fly over just to watch you compete."

"They’re in the United States, so it’s relatively convenient for them to come here," He Tiantian replied. "Let’s hurry, or there might be no food left if we go too late."

Xie Feifei chuckled, He Tiantian’s appetite truly surprised their whole team.

One person could eat the amount meant for two.

Wei Yuanyuan and Cui Ying followed suit, and He Tiantian always paid extra, never freeloaded.

The food was carefully prepared by chefs who accompanied them from home, including the ingredients, after thorough checks to ensure food safety.

In the presence of Xie Feifei, Xi Rongrong, and others, He Tiantian ate a meal for two.

"Sister He, I think you swim fast probably because you eat a lot. You have more energy in your body, and since you’re not fat, it must convert into strength," Xie Feifei declared. Previously, she had tried to eat more, but instead of improving her performance, she just gained weight and nearly exceeded the weight limit.

Thankfully, Zhu Zhitao noticed and warned her, preventing any mishap.

"Maybe, being hungry means no energy," He Tiantian laughed. "When I was sent down to the countryside as a youth, there wasn’t much food in the village. Often, I ran to the mountain behind to hunt, catching rabbits and wild chickens. Once, I even caught two big wild boars."

"What?" Xie Feifei was startled, not expecting such a story from He Tiantian. Although they had heard about events from the seventies, they were very young then, not sent down like the older generations, from whom they heard some stories.

"Sister He, you caught two wild boars by yourself?" Liu Yihua asked, eyes wide in disbelief.

"Hehe," He Tiantian chuckled. "Actually, I didn’t catch them. They chased me, and I just kept running in the mountains until I reached a cliff. Suddenly, I turned and hid in the bushes. The boars couldn’t stop due to inertia and fell into a big pit and died from the fall."

"Sister He, you’re amazing, running faster than the boars," Xie Feifei said. "You must have gotten a lot of meat from those two boars, right?"

"Yes," nodded He Tiantian. "When I couldn’t eat my fill, I went hunting to fill my stomach. That helped me get through those times."

He Tiantian occasionally reminisced about the past, and it made her miss the departed Snake King even more.

Snake King, that rascal, she wondered how he was faring after he left the Human Realm and returned to the Demon Realm.

She forgot to tell him that if things didn’t go well in the Demon Realm, he could come to the Human Realm, where, at the very least, she could provide him with room and board.
