If Su Xiaotian were Director Fan’s relative, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.
Director Fan’s foreign language proficiency was also very high. Although he had been in the northwest for several years, people in the translation department said he hadn’t slacked off at all.
“She’s my granddaughter!” Fan Shufang said with great pride and affection.
This statement, with its omissions and additions, nearly scared Lü Ruya to death.
Su Xiaotian had such an identity?
Director Fan’s granddaughter, wouldn’t that mean she was Director Dong’s granddaughter?
But Director Dong’s surname was Dong, and Su Xiaotian’s surname was Su.
What was going on?
In his panic, Lü Ruya stumbled, almost falling. Although he steadied himself by holding onto the table, the table let out a sharp, piercing sound as he pushed it.
The commotion here did attract the attention of others.
Shi Yuliang and Minister Qian turned to look.
When they saw Su Xiaotian and Fan Shufang standing together intimately, they were very surprised.
“Minister Qian, this young comrade is our translator for this time. She has made great contributions to the signing of our contract.”
Just a moment ago, Shi Yuliang was reporting on the progress of this work to Minister Qian.
Shi Yuliang had praised Su Xiaotian to the skies.
He had originally planned to invite Su Xiaotian to meet Minister Qian after the report, but he didn’t expect to see Su Xiaotian like this.
Because of Shi Yuliang’s strong praise for the translation, Minister Qian became more interested in this young comrade, Su Xiaotian.
He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, this young comrade would be standing with Comrade Fan Shufang.
“Old Fan, aren’t you going to introduce her to me?” Minister Qian asked with a smile.
“This is my granddaughter, isn’t she beautiful?” Fan Shufang introduced with great pride.
“Old Fan, I didn’t expect you to have such an outstanding junior in your family. In the future, your legacy will be passed on!”
Minister Qian and Fan Shufang had a very good relationship, and they spoke very casually.
Fan Shufang said proudly, “Of course, all the children in our family are outstanding!”
With such pride, anyone who didn’t know would really think that Fan Shufang was Su Xiaotian’s biological grandmother.
Su Xiaotian felt embarrassed. Although she had often heard people praise her siblings, this was the first time she had been praised in front of such high-ranking leaders.
She wanted to explain her relationship with Fan Shufang, but she didn’t know how to do it, so she didn’t speak up in the end.
“Xiaotian, this is Minister Qian. You can call him Grandpa Qian!”
Fan Shufang introduced them very solemnly, as if it were a serious matter.
Fan Shufang dared to make such an introduction, but Su Xiaotian did not dare to respond.
She knew very well that she and Fan Shufang were relatives, but in reality, they had no relationship at all!
“Minister Qian, hello. My name is Su Xiaotian, and I am a temporary translator hired by Qili Silk Factory.”
Minister Qian was stunned at first. This little girl was quite interesting.
It was rare to have an opportunity to get closer, yet she didn’t jump at it.
However, he then thought, could her position be higher than Director Dong’s?
“Little girl, why don’t you want to call me Grandpa Qian?”
As he said this, he glanced at Fan Shufang.
How could Fan Shufang not understand Su Xiaotian?
Even the Su family didn’t want to interact much with their family.
She had introduced them like that just now, casually, with the intention of supporting Su Xiaotian.
“Minister Qian, you are a senior leader, and I am just an ordinary student!”
Minister Qian understood. The little girl meant she was not worthy of his favor!
Haha, she was indeed quite interesting.
“Old Fan, your family’s child is interesting. Bring her to our house for dinner sometime.”
“That might not be possible, she’s too busy with her studies!”
Fan Shufang didn’t dare to agree without permission.
This child, even their own family didn’t really want her to visit.
Minister Qian was very surprised.
Why was she being so coy?
The Fan Shufang he knew shouldn’t be like this!
“We’ve been friends for so many years, this is not good!” Minister Qian was quite displeased.
“Old Qian, this child is Elder Chi’s last disciple! She is also a student in the seventh middle school’s gifted program, and she is the top student. She’s very busy!”
Fan Shufang said this with considerable pride.
Minister Qian sized up Su Xiaotian from head to toe for a while. He really couldn’t tell that this child was so outstanding.
“No wonder, no wonder!”
Just then, Auguste and his entourage arrived.
Today was just a signing ceremony, and unrelated people were allowed to watch. Auguste also brought Christina.
Christina had been confined to her room all day yesterday and was extremely frustrated.
She deeply resented not being able to go out freely, especially not being able to talk more with Su Xiaotian.
Upon seeing Su Xiaotian, she immediately rushed to her side and gave her a big hug.
Su Xiaotian’s frail body was almost suffocated by Christina’s embrace.
“Tian, I missed you so much!”
Su Xiaotian was about to roll her eyes. What was this?
If she remembered correctly, they had dinner together last night.
It was as if they hadn’t seen each other for a thousand years!
Well, perhaps Christina didn’t understand this saying, otherwise, she would definitely say that they hadn’t seen each other for a thousand years.
Su Xiaotian finally managed to break free from Christina’s embrace and quickly took a step back.
Although Christina was not big, she was quite strong.
With one hug, she almost couldn’t breathe. If she hugged her again, she would definitely suffocate.
“Miss Christina, please calm down your excitement. The signing ceremony is about to begin!”
Su Xiaotian pointed to the signing table.
Christina indeed saw her brother shaking hands with several main leaders.
She quickly composed herself and stood properly, her eyes focused.
Her brother was willing to bring her today mainly because she had promised to behave and not cause trouble.
She didn’t want the hard-won opportunity to be ruined.
She was also hoping to persuade her brother later to agree to have Su Xiaotian as their translator during their stay in China.
The translator they brought with them was really poor. Not only was the translation bad, but she also didn’t understand Chinese customs and diet.
Xiaotian was different. She was a knowledgeable girl, and her voice was very pleasant to listen to.
Thinking of these things, Christina couldn’t help but look at Su Xiaotian, and then look at Su Xiaotian again after a while.
Su Xiaotian, on the other hand, was wholeheartedly fulfilling her duties as a translator.
Under the solemn and respectful atmosphere, the signing ceremony proceeded very smoothly.
From beginning to end, it only took half an hour.
Christina didn’t know how she managed to endure until the end of the signing ceremony.
