Life's path will be wider because of it."Zh: 春风徐来，江面上一片温馨。En: A gentle spring breeze blew by, and the river was filled with warmth.Zh: 嘉豪在那一刻意识到，自己的选择或许没有即时的回报，但心灵的富足远非物质能替代。En: At that moment, Jiahao realized that his choice might not bring immediate rewards, but the richness of the soul is far beyond what material things can replace.Zh: 这趟外滩之行，让他领悟了诚实的真正价值。En: This trip to the Bund taught him the true value of honesty.
