"Miss Christina, esteemed gentlemen, please allow me to introduce the leaders of China's Qili Silk Factory."
After Su Xiaotian said this, the tall and handsome man's expression indeed became a bit more serious.
"This is Mr. Shi Yuliang, the director of Qili Silk Factory, and this is Mr. Lu Ruya, the deputy director of Qili Silk Factory. Director Shi and Deputy Director Lu warmly welcome you to China and hope that you, our esteemed guests, will have a pleasant time in the coming days."
Su Xiaotian first spoke this in German, and then repeated it in Chinese.
Although they were puzzled by Su Xiaotian referring to them as Mr. instead of Comrade, this was not the time to dwell on it.
Shi Yuliang and Lu Ruya both politely expressed their welcome to their German friends.
"Mr. Shi Yuliang and Mr. Lu Ruya say they welcome you to China and will do their best to host you for the next three days, showing you their sincerity!"
At this point, the translator on the other side should have spoken.
However, before the translator could speak, they heard the enthusiastic Miss Christina speak.
"Miss Translator, this is my brother, Mr. August, this is my brother's secretary, Daniel, and this is Felix, my brother's translator for this trip."
Everyone was surprised, especially Felix the translator.
As the translator, Felix didn't even get a chance to speak and cast a resentful glance at Christina.
Was this young lady planning to steal his translation position?
It was also true that this translator lady was too capable.
Su Xiaotian smiled and thanked them, introducing herself to Shi Yuliang and Lu Ruya one by one.
In fact, both sides had already learned about the people they were to negotiate with, and even without introductions, they could guess each other's identities.
But after this round of introductions, it felt much more formal.
Christina eagerly introduced everyone. Seeing that both sides had met, she quickly leaned closer to Su Xiaotian.
"Miss Translator, you haven't told me your name yet. I can't keep calling you Miss Translator, can I?"
Christina, the sister of the big boss August, had come purely for fun.
She had always felt that she lacked a suitable playmate, and undoubtedly, she now thought Su Xiaotian was a perfect fit.
However, due to her special status, no one dared to slight her.
Shi Yuliang and Lu Ruya also knew that Christina was the one person they absolutely could not offend in this group.
Therefore, seeing Christina speaking so enthusiastically with Su Xiaotian, they could only feel envious and nothing else.
What's more, they were even more resentful that they couldn't understand the conversation between Su Xiaotian and Christina at all, and had no idea what these two young girls were talking about.
At this moment, Christina had already very familiarly taken Su Xiaotian's hand and was chatting and laughing happily.
"Xiaotian, my friend, please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Christina, and I am nineteen years old. I came here just to have fun. I heard that the beautiful ancient country of the East has many interesting things to do, so I pestered my brother to bring me along! I like you very much!"
Although Su Xiaotian was a little unaccustomed to the other party's enthusiasm, she still responded and introduced herself again.
"Hello, dear Miss Christina, you are very welcome to my country. Our people are very hospitable, and I hope that Miss Christina will have a happy time during the next three days!"
As soon as Su Xiaotian finished speaking, Christina shook her head.
"No, dear Tian, I already agreed with my brother when I came that we can't leave in just three days. I want to stay here for a longer period!"
Su Xiaotian mischievously translated Christina's words to the two directors.
The two of them almost stumbled.
They had calculated that for three days, they would have to pay Su Xiaotian a considerable amount of wages.
If these guests stayed for a few more days, it would be better for them not to do this business at all.
By then, the small profit they made would all go to Su Xiaotian.
However, with outsiders present, they couldn't say much.
They felt they should talk to Su Xiaotian about whether the wages could be reduced, as they would be losing money.
Shi Yuliang's originally shining forehead dimmed a bit, but he still had to force himself to express his welcome and say that he would do his best to host them.
Seeing their expressions, Su Xiaotian understood what they were thinking.
She wondered why the leaders of Qili Silk Factory all seemed a bit slow-witted.
Why didn't they consider that the other party also brought their own translator, and would they still need them to accompany them after the business was concluded?
Naturally not!
However, Su Xiaotian had no intention of reminding them of this important issue.
After a few more pleasantries, Su Xiaotian saw that it was getting late and said with a smile.
"Esteemed guests, you must be tired after your long journey. Qili Silk Factory has booked the best hotel in China's capital for you. Please check in and rest first."
The group had indeed been very tired after a long flight of more than twenty hours, and Su Xiaotian's words were exactly what they needed.
Especially Christina, who had been full of energy just a moment ago, but in the next instant, she seemed extremely exhausted, slumping down, almost leaning on Su Xiaotian's shoulder.
"Dear darling, I am indeed tired. I need to rest well to relieve the fatigue of the journey."
Well, now she wasn't just a friend, but had directly become a dear darling.
Su Xiaotian heard this but pretended not to hear it.
She stepped forward to help Christina with her suitcase.
"Dear darling, you are too small to carry my suitcase..."
The rest of the words were swallowed.
Su Xiaotian steadily carried the suitcase down the steps.
"Oh, dear darling, you are so strong. I really can't tell. I like you more and more!"
If someone didn't know better, looking at Christina at this moment, they might suspect that Christina had seen her beloved, her gaze was incredibly passionate!
Upon arriving at the hotel, they arranged for the guests to check in and agreed to meet for dinner in an hour.
By this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. As Lu Ruya had predicted, they had completely missed lunch.
With only an hour, it wasn't worth going back. Therefore, Shi Yuliang and Lu Ruya waited with Su Xiaotian in the hotel lobby.
"Xiaotian, your German is very good. I saw you communicating with them, and you were fantastic!" Lu Ruya praised, even giving a thumbs-up.
Su Xiaotian smiled and said, "I have to thank Grandpa Chi for his excellent teaching!"
After speaking, Su Xiaotian wasn't interested in chatting with them any further. She would rather read a book with this time.
Watching Su Xiaotian sit on the sofa, take a book from her bag, and start reading, Shi Yuliang and Lu Ruya were stunned.
