She worked in a cadre's family. She was diligent, down-to-earth, kind and courageous, and never gave in easily in the face of difficulties. Technical cadre Shen Huai adheres to principles, is upright and responsible, and appreciates Su Nianhe's tenacity and progressive qualities. The two got to know each other and cherish each other through mutual support, breaking through the prejudices of secular families. Shen Huai helped her learn knowledge and plan a way out for starting a business.
