Appreciation to Miss Chi and Mrs Teresa Wong
This is Ruo Shuang's mother. It appears that my daughter and the other girls have been well taken care of by both of you. Really appreciate the hard work that both of you have put in so far. I've enjoyed reading the journals. A big thank you to you, Miss Chi, for the tremendous effort that you have put in. Good day!
