Mr. Fujiwara, the person before them, did not meet Su Xiaotian's aesthetic standards in terms of appearance.
Director Duan had studied abroad in Yingguo a few years ago and understood the Yingguo language.
He and Mr. Fujiwara were not meeting for the first time; in fact, they had known each other when they were both in Yingguo in their younger years.
Mr. Fujiwara naturally knew that Director Duan could understand him.
Director Duan frowned. This Fujiwara was definitely doing it on purpose.
He had said so much in Yingguo language, wasn't it precisely because he wanted Director Duan to respond?
But Director Duan was representing Huaguo now, and he couldn't possibly argue with Mr. Fujiwara in Yingguo language.
If he really lost his temper and conversed with Fujiwara in Yingguo, he would truly be at a disadvantage.
Su Xiaotian happened to overhear Mr. Fujiwara's words and saw Director Duan's furrowed brow.
Having been tempered in the Translation Department for a period, she understood Director Duan's predicament.
She stepped forward with a smile, standing before Director Duan, and respectfully translated Mr. Fujiwara's words.
Director Duan was quite surprised that Su Xiaotian had stepped forward to translate directly.
He had heard from his superiors that Su Xiaotian was a very capable young girl who knew multiple languages, but he didn't know which languages she knew.
Now it seemed that Yingguo language was also one of the young girl's strengths.
With Su Xiaotian's performance, Director Duan's furrowed brow finally relaxed.
Although the young girl was young, she handled matters very appropriately.
Her arrival was like timely rain.
To have such excellent performance at such a young age was truly commendable!
He did not speak, but instead cast a look of approval at Su Xiaotian.
When he looked at Su Xiaotian, his gaze was filled with approval and admiration, even with a hint of gentleness.
His gaze was like that of looking at a junior.
Fujiwara had intended to pressure Director Duan, but unexpectedly, he was thwarted by a young girl.
His expression darkened slightly. What was going on with this Huaguo?
Why did they even bring a translator for the Yingguo language? Could it be that they had anticipated that he would cause trouble at this exhibition?
That shouldn't be the case!
Director Duan was unaware of Fujiwara's convoluted thoughts. He then turned his burning gaze towards Mr. Fujiwara.
Director Duan and Fujiwara were old acquaintances. They had disliked each other for many years, mainly because Fujiwara was not straightforward and was always doing underhanded things behind the scenes.
He repeatedly engaged in unsavory deeds, unafraid of ridicule.
Yingguo was indeed like this.
Today, he would let Fujiwara know what true strength and skill were.
Director Duan spoke his rebuttal to Mr. Fujiwara word by word in Huaguo language with great firmness.
"Mr. Fujiwara, you are right. Our Huaguo is a great nation with five thousand years of history, and naturally, we can present design works that match our country. You can rest assured of this, Mr. Fujiwara."
"Instead, Mr. Fujiwara should be prepared for a downfall, as snatching peaches is never a glorious act! Don't you agree?"
"As for some unsavory tactics, I believe they will never succeed! There is an ancient Chinese saying: 'The net of the law is vast, and though its mesh is coarse, it misses nothing!' And another saying: 'Man acts, Heaven watches!'"
As he said this, Director Duan's facial expression was very gentle, appearing calm and collected, as if his previous angry expression was merely an illusion.
The more Director Duan was like this, the more uncomfortable Mr. Fujiwara's expression became.
And the very clever young girl, Su Xiaotian, cooperated perfectly with Mr. Fujiwara.
She maintained a professional smile and diligently translated this passage for Mr. Fujiwara.
Mr. Fujiwara actually understood Huaguo language. Having heard Director Duan's words once, hearing Su Xiaotian repeat them made him even more annoyed.
Although Mr. Fujiwara was also a cunning old fox, being subjected to such repeated attacks made his face darker than the bottom of a pot.
Su Xiaotian looked at the two contrasting individuals and couldn't help but sigh that Director Duan was indeed Director Duan.
Leaders were different.
Although Mr. Fujiwara also possessed a certain official demeanor, compared to Director Duan, he fell short!
Su Xiaotian's smile widened. Mr. Fujiwara instinctively felt that Su Xiaotian's expression was mocking him.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred!
These Huaguo people were truly detestable, even a young girl dared to look down on him like this!
He secretly thought: "Let them continue to be arrogant. Later, they will cry!"
As a grown man, he saw no need to bicker with a young girl.
"Mr. Duan, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Whether you understand or not is not important. What's important is that Mr. Fujiwara can report back to his superiors!"
Having lived in Yingguo for a long time, Director Duan knew that Fujiwara was merely a figurehead.
If they failed to achieve their intended goals in their actions against Huaguo this time, Director Duan imagined that Fujiwara would not have an easy time upon his return.
Seeing Director Duan's confident demeanor, Fujiwara began to feel uneasy. He wondered if he had overlooked something.
"I have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now. Good luck, Mr. Duan!"
Director Duan looked at Mr. Fujiwara's retreating expression and didn't know what to say.
"I also wish Mr. Fujiwara good luck. I hope you will still be as spirited in three days!"
Fujiwara really didn't want to listen any longer, lest he be angered to death!
After watching Mr. Fujiwara walk away, Director Duan finally turned his gaze to Su Xiaotian.
"Comrade Su Xiaotian, what you did just now was excellent. Thank you for your support!"
Su Xiaotian smiled and said, "You represent Huaguo, and I was just doing what I should have done."
Director Duan nodded.
When no one else was around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Comrade Xiaotian, are the things you brought with you okay?"
As he asked, he also looked Su Xiaotian up and down.
He was actually very curious why Su Xiaotian hadn't brought any extra large bags with her today.
Could such a small bag really hold such a large piece of fabric?
After all, the fabric for a complete set of clothing was not a small amount.
Little did he know that Su Xiaotian had already placed all the fabric and design drafts in her system space.
For Su Xiaotian, there was no place in this world safer than her system space.
Especially since they seemed to be facing many uncontrollable factors this time.
Wasn't Deputy Commander Wei's suitcase still not found?
Su Xiaotian replied with a smile, "Director Duan, please rest assured. Everything is in order and there will be no problems."
She was absolutely confident in ensuring safety, so her words were full of confidence, with not even a hint of hesitation in her eyes, which made Director Duan feel somewhat relieved by her certainty!
