Finally, Su Xiaotian managed to get leave and return home.
Seeing Su Xiaotian successfully take leave and depart, the students of Class 18 were filled with envy and jealousy.
Since the start of the semester, Teacher Huang had been relentlessly pushing them to cram in the last few months.
Every single one of them felt exhausted.
But no matter how tired they were, they could only mechanically grind through practice problems.
They all knew clearly that Su Xiaotian could take leave, but they could not.
Their academic performance was too far behind, making any envy or jealousy pointless.
Su Xiaoba and Su Xiaojiu already knew that Auguste and Christina were arriving in the country today, and Xiaotian was going back to accompany them.
Therefore, the two of them continued to focus on their studies without any particular attention to this.
When everyone looked at these two brothers, they instantly resigned themselves.
People who studied better than them were diligently working, so what reason did they have to envy or be jealous of someone taking leave?
Song Lingling watched Su Xiaotian walk away with her backpack, her eyes practically spitting fire.
However, she dared not cause any more trouble.
Since joining this class, in less than two years, she had suffered losses at Su Xiaotian's hands several times.
The first time, she had almost been expelled from the class. If it weren't for her family's substantial background, she wouldn't know where she'd be now, relegated to some forgotten corner.
While it was an exaggeration to say that all of Beijing's attention was on their class now,
the youth class at the Seventh Middle School was indeed receiving a lot of attention from many people.
There was even a rumor circulating that the students in this class were destined to be admitted to university.
Song Lingling resignedly buried her head and began to tackle her practice problems.
Yu Xiyue was very surprised to see Su Xiaotian leaving school at noon.
She had specifically come to wait at the school entrance today.
Su Xiaotian had mentioned that she would be hosting Mr. Auguste and Miss Christina at Yiming Pavilion today.
Yu Xiyue hadn't fully believed this.
At noon today, she had cautiously hidden behind a tree at the school entrance, just to see if Su Xiaotian would indeed leave school at midday.
Now that Su Xiaotian had emerged, she suddenly felt that what Su Xiaotian had said to that so-called factory director was true.
Her hands involuntarily tightened.
She truly hadn't expected that such a young girl could actually befriend Mr. Auguste and Miss Christina.
Yu Xiyue knew how difficult it was to get close to members of the Fesenberg family.
Even in Germany, Mr. Auguste was not easily approachable.
As for Miss Christina, she was always cold towards strangers!
Yu Xiyue felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing for Su Xiaotian to befriend Chi Yiyuan.
Although this young girl's background was not good, she was capable herself, and her future should be promising.
However, at such a young age, she had already captured her son's heart. If they were truly to end up together, it would not be a good outcome.
Su Xiaotian was unaware that she was being watched; her heart had already flown to Yiming Pavilion.
Over the past year, Su Xiaotian and Christina had maintained contact. Although it wasn't easy to connect each time, their friendship had miraculously endured.
Yiming Pavilion was not far from the school, and Su Xiaotian walked briskly towards it, completely oblivious to the person following her.
When Su Xiaotian returned to Yiming Pavilion, Lü Ruya had already brought Mr. Auguste and Miss Christina to the restaurant to wait.
Furthermore, it wasn't just these few people present; there were also several accompanying individuals whom Su Xiaotian didn't recognize.
But that wasn't the main point; the main point was Christina.
"Tian, you're finally here! Do you know? I've missed you so, so much!"
Upon seeing Su Xiaotian, Christina excitedly ran over and gave her a big hug.
Yu Xiyue, standing outside Yiming Pavilion, saw Christina and Su Xiaotian's embrace.
She had seen Christina before. Wasn't the person in front of her the sole young lady of the Fesenberg family, Christina?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiyue's emotions churned!
She suddenly realized that many things seemed to be different from what she had initially thought.
Could she have been mistaken?
If the Fesenberg family was interested, did China indeed hold great opportunities?
Was this also the reason her company had sent her to China?
Yu Xiyue decided to find an opportunity to get acquainted with Mr. Auguste and his sister that evening.
As for the venue for this acquaintance, she naturally chose the hotel.
The hotel where she was staying was the best hotel in China, and she believed Mr. Auguste and his sister would likely be staying there as well.
As long as they were staying in the same place, there would always be a chance to meet.
Just as Yu Xiyue was about to leave, she saw a car approaching.
Seeing a car on the streets of China during this era indicated that it belonged to a high-ranking official.
Yu Xiyue immediately turned her gaze towards the car.
She watched as the car slowly stopped in front of the entrance of the Yiming Pavilion restaurant.
A young man quickly alighted from the front, opening the rear door.
Then, a man around fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, emerged from the car.
Although the man was not young, he exuded an extraordinary presence.
Yu Xiyue looked closely and was even more shocked.
She hadn't even spoken to the person in front of her, but he was clearly no ordinary individual.
The person before her was none other than Chang Huasen, the Minister of Commerce.
During her trip to China, she had intended to pay a visit to the Minister of Commerce and had done considerable research for it.
However, she had never found a suitable channel to meet Minister Chang.
She never expected him to condescend to visit Yiming Pavilion.
Suddenly, Yu Xiyue understood; this wasn't a condescending visit to Yiming Pavilion.
The minister was here for Mr. Auguste and his entourage.
At this moment, Yu Xiyue clearly felt the disparity.
Mr. Auguste's status was so high that her company could not compare.
Let alone her company sending her, even if the company's top executive came personally, they would not be able to compare with Mr. Auguste.
Since the Minister of Commerce had arrived, Yu Xiyue thought she had to find a way to get inside.
Even if it was to pretend to be dining and have a chance encounter, she had to see him and strike up a conversation.
Fortunately, this was a restaurant, and a rather unremarkable one at that.
However, as she watched Minister Chang of the Ministry of Commerce enter, she was blocked by the staff of Yiming Pavilion.
"Why won't you let me in? I'm here to eat!"
Yu Xiyue's face turned red with anger.
She never imagined that Yiming Pavilion would refuse her entry.
After her anger came embarrassment. Yu Xiyue considered herself a person of some standing, and being rejected like this, she couldn't help but recall a famous saying.
Her beautiful eyes seemed ready to spew fire.
What was the meaning of these country bumpkins?
Did they truly disregard Chi Yiyuan's face?
Weren't their two families said to be on very good terms?
