"Little Sweetheart, you've made me search high and low, all the way from your home to the school."
Lü Ruya rushed to Su Xiaotian's side, not even glancing at anyone else.
Su Xiaotian withdrew the coldness from her face and smiled, "Director Lü, why are you here? You seem to be in a hurry, is there something urgent?"
"We received a call from Fesenge Company this afternoon. Mr. August will be coming this weekend to discuss business with our factory. Miss Christina will accompany him, and you are invited to join."
Su Xiaotian smiled and asked, "Mr. August and Christina are coming? That's wonderful, I was just about to ask them for some help."
Yu Xiyue, standing nearby, was shocked when she heard the names Mr. August and Miss Christina.
August and Christina were not particularly rare names.
But the name Fesenge, in Germany, represented only one family.
And as someone who had lived in Germany for several years, Yu Xiyue certainly knew what August signified.
He was the head of that family!
The more Yu Xiyue thought about it, the more she felt this was a setup.
How could a major enterprise like Fesenge cooperate with a factory in China?
That's right, Yu Xiyue looked down on these domestic factories.
In her perception, everything foreign was good, and China was just a poor, remote, broken place. What could foreign merchants possibly find valuable there?
Moreover, the head of the prestigious Fesenge family actually knew a country girl like Su Xiaotian.
It seemed impossible.
It had to be said that once a person's mind was made up, even if faced with countless facts, they wouldn't change their opinion.
"Is this the person you found?"
Yu Xiyue's expression grew increasingly displeased.
This girl was actually such a calculating young lady.
Such a girl absolutely could not be allowed to remain by Chi Yiyuan's side.
If she was allowed to continue staying by Chi Yiyuan's side, she would completely lose this son!
"What?" Su Xiaotian clearly didn't understand Yu Xiyue's meaning.
"You found this person. Knowing I'm from Germany, you used this name to deceive me, hoping to change my opinion of you?"
Yu Xiyue felt she hadn't thought wrongly at all!
It had to be this way.
Besides this possibility, she truly couldn't think of any other reason.
Her gaze towards Su Xiaotian became much more sinister.
This girl was indeed after her son. It was understandable; Yiyuan was outstanding in every way, and it wasn't impossible for him to charm young girls.
What's more, this girl now knew that their entire family, except for Yiyuan, was abroad.
She had heard that many people in China wanted to develop abroad in recent years, and this girl clearly had the same idea.
After thinking so much, Yu Xiyue's face once again displayed her previous arrogance and disdain.
"Your reasoning is too clumsy. Do you really think I would believe Mr. August would do business with you? That's a joke!"
Yu Xiyue believed that even her own company would find it difficult to curry favor with the Fesenge family.
Lü Ruya looked at the woman he didn't recognize in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
He could understand every word she said, but why didn't it make sense when put together?
What did she mean by clumsy reasoning?
They were clearly just stating facts.
Su Xiaotian chuckled.
"Ms. Yu, just because you can't do something, don't assume others can't either."
After speaking, Su Xiaotian ignored Yu Xiyue, who seemed to have a screw loose.
She turned back and smiled at Lü Ruya, "It's been a while, I really miss Christina. Are Mr. August and Miss Christina arriving on Saturday morning?"
"Yes, they will arrive at the airport at nine o'clock on Saturday morning."
"Are you picking them up?"
"Yes, the director has other matters and has arranged for me to pick up Mr. August and Miss Christina," Lü Ruya replied with a very amiable attitude.
Even Lü Ruya's tone made Yu Xiyue feel that this was a setup.
If the man in front of her was truly a factory director, why would he show such respect to a young girl?
"Director Lü, after you pick them up, please invite them to Yiming Pavilion for lunch!"
Su Xiaotian didn't want to argue with Yu Xiyue; she preferred to discuss the reception arrangements with Lü Ruya.
This woman was conceited, always thinking that people returning from abroad were superior!
Perhaps it was due to a deep-seated subservience developed abroad, believing foreigners were superior, and even their servants were superior!
Talking to someone like that was an insult to one's intelligence.
Lü Ruya nodded busily, "I believe Mr. August and Miss Christina will be very happy to dine at Yiming Pavilion!"
He knew very well how much the brother and sister pair had liked Yiming Pavilion back then.
While one person here was very clear, it didn't mean the eavesdroppers were.
The saying "the bystander sees clearly while the participant is confused" sometimes didn't seem entirely accurate.
Yu Xiyue now felt that the conversation between these two was becoming increasingly absurd.
How could Mr. August possibly fancy such a shabby restaurant?
She sneered and watched Su Xiaotian and Lü Ruya perform.
"Please tell them that I will be participating in this year's college entrance examination and cannot take leave, so I am unable to pick them up personally. I apologize." Su Xiaotian added.
She also knew that if she could pick up Christina, Christina would be very happy.
But she really had to attend classes.
With the college entrance examination only a few months away, her homeroom teacher, Huang Wenbai, had strictly forbidden students from taking leave.
Even Su Xiaotian, the best student in the class, could not take leave.
Just thinking about Teacher Huang's expression made her feel that the words "take leave" were impossible to utter.
"Miss Christina will understand you." Miss Christina liked Su Xiaotian so much, treating her almost like a sister, that she wouldn't blame her for these things.
However, Lü Ruya was indeed a little regretful that Su Xiaotian couldn't personally receive the August siblings.
"Little Sweetheart, the success of our cooperation project this time will depend on you."
Lü Ruya thought about the cooperation between the two parties this time and felt that even if Su Xiaotian couldn't host them throughout, since the guests were arriving on the weekend, Su Xiaotian could accompany them for a day. He then forced a smile.
Su Xiaotian smiled faintly, "Since they are coming, they certainly won't be making a wasted trip!"
The previous cooperation amounts were actually not large, and for a company like Fesenge, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
However, this time they had proactively contacted them, and August was making a special trip to China, which surely meant new plans.
Su Xiaotian had reason to believe that August, as a businessman, would not travel all this way for no reason and do nothing.
In any case, it certainly wasn't just for a casual reunion.
