Five minutes passed…
Ten minutes passed…
Half an hour passed…
The two factory directors did nothing but watch Su Xiaotian rapidly flip through the documents in the office.
What could be seen at such speed?
Little did they know, Su Xiaotian’s extensive reading over the years had made her reading speed and memory far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even while flipping through them so quickly, Su Xiaotian had already memorized the core of the information.
An hour later, Su Xiaotian had finished reading the thick stack of documents on the desk.
Su Xiaotian was very satisfied with this speed.
Her speed had improved again recently!
Moreover, this hour of concentrated reading was also counted as reading time by the system.
Strange, why wasn’t studying textbook knowledge before counted as reading time?
She would have to communicate properly with the system when she returned home tonight.
“Is this all?” Su Xiaotian asked.
The two factory directors exchanged glances.
Wasn’t this amount enough?
Shi Yuliang asked with some difficulty, “Student Xiaotian, will it be alright if you just skim through it like this?”
This was clearly just a cursory glance.
He felt he might be mistaken; perhaps this child named Su Xiaotian was a fraud.
Su Xiaotian nodded, “It’s fine. I’ve finished reading it, and I’ve remembered what I needed to. I just have a few points that are not entirely clear!”
Shi Yuliang thought, after looking through it like that, it’s not just a few points that are unclear, but rather nothing is clear, right?
However, when Su Xiaotian raised her questions, Shi Yuliang realized that the little girl had indeed absorbed the information, and understood it clearly, as if she had studied it thoroughly.
The questions she asked were so professional, it was as if she were an old employee who had worked in the factory for many years.
Shi Yuliang dared not underestimate Su Xiaotian and very solemnly answered her questions.
In the end, Shi Yuliang could not help but sigh, it was true that anyone who could impress Elder Chi Ge would not be an ordinary person.
If nothing else, just this girl’s capability, how many people in the world could match it?
After two hours in the office, Su Xiaotian had a good understanding of what she wanted to know, so she proposed to visit the processing workshop.
“Of course, I won’t look at anything involving core content. I just want to see the process, which is also for accurate translation later.”
Shi Yuliang fully agreed to Su Xiaotian’s request and directly arranged for Lü Ruyai to accompany her throughout.
Lü Ruyai very cooperatively took Su Xiaotian to the workshop.
At this time, most of the people in the factory had heard that the little girl they saw in the morning was a translator hired by the factory.
It was said that she was specifically hired for the cooperation with the German merchants and would provide simultaneous interpretation during the discussions.
Most people doubted whether such a young girl could even speak her own language clearly, let alone another country’s language.
Especially since there might be many specialized terms involved, which even professional translators might not be able to handle well, let alone a child who might not have even finished primary school.
Was this child daring, or had the factory leaders lost their minds?
Or perhaps that senior leader above had put pressure on the factory leaders, forcing them to agree?
Ordinary workers would casually chat with their neighbors at their workstations, and that would be the end of it.
However, some middle management in the factory had already put in too much effort for this cooperation, and its success or failure hinged on this very moment. Yet, such a problem had arisen.
They were all afraid that their long-term hard work and efforts would be ruined because of this translator.
Therefore, some middle management found Shi Yuliang.
Not just one person, but a group of them.
They all approached with the idea of being responsible for the factory, striving to change the factory director’s unreasonable decision.
When they arrived at Shi Yuliang’s office in a large group, Shi Yuliang was puzzlingly flipping through the documents prepared by the factory.
With so many documents, even for him, who was familiar with them, it would take a day to finish reading them.
And it would definitely not be possible to finish work on time.
How could this little girl, Su Xiaotian, be so knowledgeable and remember all of this?
Seeing the middle management of the factory enter in a large group, he was startled.
If it weren’t for a major issue in the factory, so many middle managers wouldn’t have come to him together.
Shi Yuliang hurriedly stood up, not even noticing the pain from his leg hitting the desk, and immediately asked, “What happened in the factory?”
“Director, we are here today to ask you about something!” One of them, the section chief of the sales department.
For this negotiation, the sales department had done a lot of work, and almost everyone was working overtime.
Therefore, the sales department was the most agitated.
“Minister Liu, please speak slowly,” the director felt much more at ease after hearing the sales department’s section chief Liu’s words.
“Director, we heard that you hired such a young child as a translator. What could a little child understand?” The director of the sales department said earnestly to Shi Yuliang.
“Exactly, Director. If this child was arranged by higher authorities, just say so, and we will all go and plead. This is a major matter concerning the survival and development of our factory’s future. We cannot entrust it to a child to play with!”
“Yes, Director, we cannot treat a major matter like cooperating with the Germans as a joke!”
Everyone spoke at once. Seeing so many people anxious, Director Shi suddenly felt a sense of relief.
This was how it should be. Since so many people didn’t believe in Su Xiaotian’s ability, it was no wonder he had such thoughts.
After everyone had finished expressing their righteous indignation, Shi Yuliang smiled reassuringly.
“Minister Liu, Old Liang, and everyone, I know you are all thinking of the factory. However, please don’t be anxious.”
Some impatient individuals, not waiting for Shi Yuliang to finish speaking, eagerly spoke up again.
“Director, how can we not be anxious? What capability can a little child have?”
“This is not an ordinary child. This child is a disciple of Elder Chi Ge and has been studying German for many years. Her proficiency is very high!”
Although Shi Yuliang had said this much, some people were still unwilling to believe his words.
“We don’t know who Chi Ge is, but even if she started learning German from the womb, how many years could she have had?”
“This child is extraordinary. These are the materials we prepared for this meeting. Even for us, it would take a day or two to read them, but the young lady finished them in just over an hour!”
Following the direction of Shi Yuliang’s finger, everyone’s gaze fell upon the thick stack of documents on the desk.
Is it true or false?
Finished reading so many documents in an hour?
Who are they trying to fool?
Let alone reading, they couldn’t even finish flipping through them!
Could it be that the young lady was just putting on a show, merely skimming through them?
