"Thank you, Director Li. I know what I'm doing!" Su Xiaotian smiled faintly, making people feel comfortable.
Su Xiaotian was very grateful for Director Li's proactive offer.
After all, their relationship wasn't that close. Director Li's words were enough to prove he was a good person.
Director Li looked at Su Xiaotian's composed and confident demeanor and nodded slowly.
He admired Su Xiaotian even more.
He heard that this child came to the capital from the Northwest.
He also heard that her family was from the countryside.
Director Li hadn't seen what the Northwest countryside was like, but he had heard a lot, and he imagined the living conditions weren't good.
In Director Li's understanding, children from poor families were usually insecure.
But Su Xiaotian, standing before him, showed no insecurity at all. Instead, she was calm and exuded confidence.
This child was simply working hard to earn money in her own way and improve her family's living environment.
This alone earned Director Li's respect.
Even though Su Xiaotian was just a little girl, she still commanded his deep respect.
"Good child, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to the factory to find me. If I'm not here, you can have someone send me a message!"
Director Li immediately expressed his concern.
He had received help from others in his early years and was willing to pass on that kindness.
Perhaps by helping this child now, this child could also continue the kindness in the future?
Feeling Director Li's sincerity, Su Xiaotian did not refuse. After smiling and thanking him, she bid farewell and left the Dongfeng Electronics Factory.
The little girl was carefree, thinking that she would soon earn a lot of money, and was very happy. As she walked, she couldn't help but skip along.
Director Li watched her lively retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh several times.
This was seen by a young subordinate passing by.
The young man smiled and asked, "Director Li, what are you looking at? You're murmuring to yourself!"
Director Li glared at the young man and said, "What do you know? Children who haven't suffered since childhood wouldn't understand the hardships of ordinary people."
At this moment, Director Li had no idea that the "ordinary people" he spoke of were already preparing to buy a second property.
The young man, having been rebuked by Director Li, rubbed his nose and looked in the direction Director Li was gazing.
It turned out to be a little girl. What kind of little girl was worthy of Director Li's sigh?
Wait, he heard that a little girl knew French and was very capable.
The previous document was translated by her, could it be this little girl who looked so small?
"Director Li, is this the little girl who is proficient in French?" the young man asked incredulously, looking at Su Xiaotian's back.
He had heard it was a little girl before, but he hadn't expected it to be such a young girl. He had thought, no matter what, she should be around fourteen or fifteen years old.
Looking at her back, she couldn't be more than twelve years old, right?
Who could tell him why these little kids nowadays were so capable?
Translating professional documents in their teens?
Was this going to let them live?
Oh, no!
Was this going to let the people in the translation room live?
The several translators employed by Dongfeng Electronics Factory were not as useful as this little girl.
"It's her," Director Li nodded with a smile. "A very outstanding and excellent young girl!"
"Then, can we bring this little girl along as a translator when we negotiate next time?" the young man immediately thought of this crucial question.
The factory's translators were not very capable, and their translations were full of loopholes every time they went out.
If there was a translator proficient in French, negotiations would go much smoother.
Director Li stroked his chin and thought it was feasible.
"That's possible. I'll discuss it with the little girl later to see if she can accompany us for translation."
The little girl had to go to school. If she neglected her studies to do translation, even if the little girl was willing, her family might not agree.
Moreover, Director Li had other concerns when he said this.
After all, the little girl was too young.
In a negotiation, if the opponent saw such a young translator, would they look down on them?
But after thinking of Su Xiaotian's capabilities, Director Li felt relieved.
As long as her family agreed, nothing else would be a problem. After all, at critical moments, ability was the most important thing!
"You kid, you're quite thoughtful at critical moments!" Director Li praised him without reservation.
The young man was so happy to be praised that he almost jumped up.
Getting praised by Director Li without having to work hard himself was a rare opportunity!
As for Su Xiaotian.
After leaving the Dongfeng Electronics Factory, she walked only a few steps before she felt something was wrong.
She keenly sensed that someone was following her.
But she only suspected it. When she casually looked back, she didn't see anyone tailing her.
She deliberately took a roundabout route, speeding up and slowing down, and then turned back directly to the entrance of the Dongfeng Electronics Factory.
The old gatekeeper was now familiar with Su Xiaotian. Seeing her return suddenly, he was very surprised.
However, he didn't expect Su Xiaotian to actually have a few casual conversations with the old man in the gatehouse before leaving again.
After this maneuver, Su Xiaotian finally confirmed that there were indeed several people following her.
From her observation, she felt that these people were likely street thugs.
People like them, idle all day, only knew how to harm society. Following her like this today must have malicious intent.
Su Xiaotian's first thought was whether the news of her earning money at the Dongfeng Electronics Factory had gotten out.
These people, seeing the money, intended to rob her?
After all, for a little girl to hold over a thousand yuan was no different than holding a golden baby.
To figure out these people's intentions, Su Xiaotian, with her high skill and bold spirit, calmly boarded a bus.
This bus was not heading home but to a small village in the suburbs, one of the most remote bus routes in the capital.
Since someone was following her with premeditation, it meant there was a potential threat around her.
The only way to eliminate the threat was to deal with it immediately, not to wait for the crisis to fester and leave future trouble.
This was Su Xiaotian's consistent way of handling things.
Seeing Su Xiaotian board the bus, a few people hurriedly followed her onto the bus.
In fact, these people were also wondering why Su Xiaotian was taking a bus to the suburbs.
But they didn't think much of it. She was just a little girl, and it would be easier to deal with her in the suburbs.
Su Xiaotian, who had boarded earlier, was secretly observing the people who got on behind her.
Looking closely, there were quite a few of them. Six people boarded at once!
Why was she sure it was six people?
Because these six people didn't look like good people. A glance at their demeanor was enough to tell that they were involved in shady dealings.
Moreover, after these six people got on the bus, they all looked in her direction unintentionally.
And they exchanged glances with each other.
Although their glances were brief, Su Xiaotian still saw them keenly.
She began to calculate the feasibility of dealing with six people by herself.
Relying solely on her own abilities, although she might be able to defeat them, there were also unpredictable risks. Su Xiaotian never put herself in a risky situation.
Standing in a blind spot in the corner of the bus, Su Xiaotian skillfully ordered a bag of super chili powder from the system store and placed it in her backpack.
Don't underestimate chili powder. If thrown at the right opportunity, it would be enough for these six people to handle.
After Su Xiaotian had made all her preparations, the passengers on the bus were getting fewer and fewer. The bus rumbled towards the suburbs.
At this time, only about a dozen people were left on the bus.
Su Xiaotian surveyed the scenery outside. It was desolate. This was the perfect place to deal with these people.
