"Little Sweetheart, our silk factory heard that today is your reporting day at school, so we specifically came to send you off."
The one who spoke first was none other than Lü Ruya.
As Lü Ruya spoke, he also glared at Director Du from the electronics factory.
His relationship with Director Du was pretty good, but at this moment, they had become rivals.
No matter how he looked at it, he found Director Du displeasing to the eye.
Director Du glared back, unwilling to be outdone.
Little Sweetheart wasn't just a translator for the silk factory; she was also a translator for their electronics factory.
Although she had been at the electronics factory for a short time, he was already very familiar with Little Sweetheart.
He also hoped to build a good relationship with this shrewd and capable young girl.
Su Xiaotian looked at the grand send-off procession, speechless.
This situation felt a bit off.
She was just going to report to school, so why were there two cars?
But soon, Chi Ge smiled.
"It's perfect timing. We have many people, so two cars are great!"
Before, he had been thinking of taking the bus. How could a bus be as comfortable as a car?
Lü Ruya hadn't expected that the problem would be solved just like this after he and Director Du had been confronting each other at the gate for so long.
"Perfect, perfect!" Lü Ruya smiled happily.
He pondered if he could go and send off Little Sweetheart.
But as the Su family members got into the cars one by one, Lü Ruya found that there was no seat for him.
"Director Lü, please wait for us at Yiming Pavilion for tea. We'll be back soon!" Chi Ge said very politely.
Lü Ruya's once joyous heart instantly turned cold.
It was such a pity that he couldn't go to send off Su Xiaotian together.
Why did so many people have to go? He couldn't even go!
However, when he saw that Director Du from the electronics factory also couldn't go, he felt relieved.
"Old Du, let's go in for tea. The tea at Yiming Pavilion is quite good," Lü Ruya said to Director Du in a friendly manner.
Although Director Du found Lü Ruya annoying and didn't want to talk to him, he thought that if he had to wait for a long time, it would be too lonely without anyone to talk to.
However, as Director Du followed Lü Ruya in and sat down for tea, he saw Lü Ruya pull out a book from his bag and read it intently.
Director Du thought Lü Ruya was reading a martial arts novel, which was very popular in recent years.
To his surprise, when he leaned closer to take a look, he realized it was an economics book.
It looked dry and difficult to understand.
"Director Lü, you still read books?"
Lü Ruya gave Director Du a strange look and said, "Why wouldn't I read?"
Director Du: "..."
This person was already a factory director, yet he was still reading so diligently. What was the meaning of that?
"Do you know why Little Sweetheart is so outstanding?" Lü Ruya said mysteriously.
Director Du became interested by Lü Ruya's actions.
He quickly leaned closer to Lü Ruya and said, "Director Lü, tell me, why?"
Lü Ruya lowered his voice and said, "Little Sweetheart always carries a book with her and reads it whenever she has time."
"Little Sweetheart is a student!" Director Du said with disappointment.
He had thought Lü Ruya would say something profound, but it turned out to be just this.
Little Sweetheart is a student, so it's normal for her to read.
Sensing Director Du's disdain, Lü Ruya snorted and said, "You're just ignorant!"
"Let me tell you, what Little Sweetheart reads isn't textbooks. Do you think she can translate so accurately every time?"
Director Du thought about it. This was indeed a problem.
At Su Xiaotian's age, she shouldn't understand professional terms related to silk and electronics, yet she managed to translate them accurately.
Could this really be the reason?
"Little Sweetheart said that knowledge is accumulated over time! She also said that there's no harm in learning!"
After Lü Ruya finished speaking, he buried his head in his book again, leaving Director Du staring blankly at Lü Ruya, who was genuinely reading.
He seriously considered whether he should also start reading diligently.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaotian, riding in the car, was pondering this issue.
This was not the future; it was the early 1980s. Even in Beijing, cars were a rare sight.
With two cars grandly sending her off to school, she was likely to become a celebrity.
"Grandpa Chi, this isn't quite right, is it?" Su Xiaotian asked hesitantly.
Chi Ge looked at Su Xiaotian. Did this child want to be low-key?
"Little Sweetheart, at your age and with your achievements, you can't be low-key. As soon as you get to school, you'll attract attention anyway. It's better to be high-profile from the start, so no one will bully you at school."
Chi Ge had been thinking about this issue for several days.
He had always worried that if Little Sweetheart, being young, were to be bullied at school, what would happen?
This was a perfect opportunity.
"Little Sweetheart, in this world, most people respect clothes before people. If you appear high-profile, others will be less likely to bully you."
Su Xiaotian fell silent for a moment. Was it already like this in this era?
But Grandpa Chi was experienced and knowledgeable. His thoughts should be correct.
"I understand, Grandpa Chi!"
She came from the northwest, and her family were farmers. With such a background, she wasn't taken seriously in Beijing. So, she might as well find some way to boost her image.
The cars drove on, and soon they arrived at the entrance of Beijing University.
