林薇 colleges abroad, and the news quickly spread back home. Her father, a renowned businessman in China, was particularly proud. He had always been a stern man, but now he couldn't help but smile every time he heard about his daughter's achievements.

One day, while browsing through a local news portal, he stumbled upon an article about a young woman who had just won an international design competition. The photos showed her standing confidently on stage, holding a trophy, with a dazzling smile that could light up the room. The headline read, "The Rising Star: Lin Wei, China's New Design Sensation."

Without hesitation, Lin Yutian, his own name, called his only daughter, Lin Wei. The call was almost immediate, and Lin Wei's cheerful voice filled the phone. "Dad, what's up?"

"Just saw your news," Lin Yutian said, his voice filled with pride. "You're making me proud."

Lin Wei laughed, the sound bright and infectious. "Thanks, Dad. I'm just doing my job."
