Su Xiaotian hadn't expected the old man to suddenly get angry. Looking at the bewildered Su Shouwen, she didn't understand what had happened.
This old man had a bad temper. Why was he so upset by a single sentence?
Su Shouwen, however, thought of something and blushed.
"Sir, it's not..." Su Shouwen wasn't good with words and quickly waved his hands.
But before he could finish, the old man interrupted him.
"Whether it is or not, I don't know. Young man, you should go back early. Director Li is not that kind of person!"
The old man looked at the siblings and said earnestly, "Your sister is beautiful. But how old is this little girl? Don't do things like this in the future. If you really meet someone with ill intentions, it could ruin your sister's life!"
Su Xiaotian understood now. Could it be that the old man thought her elder brother was giving her away?
How was that possible?
Not to mention how much her brother doted on her, but she was still a child, so it was impossible.
The old man's imagination was too wild.
Su Shouwen felt he couldn't listen to the old man any longer. If he continued, he couldn't imagine what else the old man would say.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. Director Li is looking for translators, and my sister knows French. We came here specifically to try out today!"
This time, Su Shouwen spoke quickly, fearing he would be interrupted by the old man.
After hearing these few sentences, the old man's expression softened considerably.
But he still looked Su Xiaotian up and down several times.
How old was this little girl? How could she possibly know French?
Was this young man taking him, an old man, for a fool?
"Young man, this is not right! How old is your sister? How can she know French?"
The old man was still the type to get to the bottom of things.
"Sir, I really do. I like to study. I even taught my brother French!"
Su Shouwen felt a blow but immediately understood.
What Xiaotian said was also true. His progress in the past few days was all thanks to Xiaotian's good teaching.
"Yes, sir. My sister has been smart and eager to learn since she was young. She's the most capable child in our family."
Su Xiaotian had spoken casually, but she didn't expect Su Shouwen to admit it.
"Really?" The old man was astonished.
But looking at the siblings, they didn't seem to be faking, so he believed them.
"Director Li hasn't arrived yet. You'll have to wait a while."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he looked up and saw Director Li arriving on his bicycle at the entrance. He immediately said with a smile, "Speak of the devil, Director Li is here!"
Su Shouwen quickly looked in the direction the old man pointed. It was indeed Director Li, whom he had met yesterday.
Director Li hadn't expected someone to be waiting outside the factory so early in the morning.
He looked at the gatekeeper and asked, "Grandpa Zhou, what's going on? Who are these two people?"
"They said they know French and came to see you!" Grandpa Zhou quickly introduced, "This young man said he saw you yesterday."
Director Li looked over and indeed recognized Su Shouwen.
"Young man, I remember you. But didn't we say yesterday that you didn't meet our requirements?"
Director Li felt a bit regretful.
This young man was the best translator among all the applicants yesterday.
It was just a pity that he didn't understand any of the technical terms.
"Yes, Director Li," Su Shouwen replied quickly.
"If I have suitable documents for you in the future, I'll contact you!"
Director Li was a very kind person and said to Su Shouwen with a smile.
Young people nowadays, even though they go to university, many lack real talent. It was rare to find someone as diligent as this young man.
"Director Li, it's like this. I brought my sister with me. My sister taught me French. Why don't you let my sister try?" Su Shouwen said.
Director Li then noticed the young girl standing beside Su Shouwen.
Su Xiaotian smiled sweetly at Director Li, looking exceptionally well-behaved and cute.
However, no matter how well-behaved and cute the little girl was, Director Li still felt it wasn't very reliable.
"How old is your sister? Young man, you need to be honest!"
Su Shouwen blushed and quickly said, "Director Li, I'm telling the truth. My sister taught me French."
Su Xiaotian knew that in her current state, it was indeed difficult to gain trust.
Her smile became even brighter, and she opened her mouth to say, "Director Li, my name is Su Xiaotian. My teacher is called Chi Ge, and I am his disciple!"
Director Li followed Su Xiaotian's words and said, "Little girl, I'll remember. Your name is Su Xiaotian, and your teacher is called Chi Ge. Go and play quickly. This is not a place for you to play..."
As he said this, Director Li suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Little girl, you said, what is your teacher's name?"
Su Xiaotian's face still held a bright smile as she said, "My teacher is called Chi Ge. I've heard that he's very capable. Of course, I also think my teacher is very capable!"
As she spoke, she silently repeated to herself that this was her only option.
She couldn't just say she was self-taught, could she?
It would be a miracle if Director Li believed that.
"Good heavens, I never expected to meet a disciple of Elder Chi. Come, come, little girl, let's go to the office to talk!"
Director Li's attitude and tone changed immediately.
A disciple of Chi Ge!
It was a rare opportunity.
If nothing else, anyone chosen by Chi Ge was extraordinary.
This little girl looked to be in her teens, so she must have something special about her.
Su Xiaotian and her brother followed Director Li to the office.
Director Li politely poured them tea.
Su Shouwen marveled at the difference in treatment compared to yesterday.
Xiaotian was indeed good at leveraging situations.
She actually thought of using such a method to gain Director Li's approval.
But this was indeed the simplest way.
"Director Li, we won't drink the tea. Why don't you give me a document first, and I'll translate it for you to see?"
Su Xiaotian didn't want to waste any more time and directly stated the purpose of their visit today.
Director Li quickly agreed with a smile and said, "The same document as yesterday!"
He really didn't have any other options. This was the only French document, and it also had a complete Chinese translation.
Su Xiaotian took the document from Director Li, looked at it for a moment, and then looked up.
"Director Li, may I use your desk and some paper and pens?"
"Yes, yes, of course. Please, use them freely," Director Li said quickly, and then he didn't forget to address Su Shouwen.
"Young man, are you a student at Beijing University? Are you studying in the foreign language department?"
Su Shouwen was flattered and quickly replied, "No, Director Li. I'm just interested in foreign languages, so I'm learning them. After all, having more skills never hurts, don't you think?"
"It's rare to find children like you nowadays. I never expected that at your young age, you would understand the principle that having more skills never hurts."
After saying this, Director Li sighed and said, "The older generation endured hardships and was willing to seriously study. But the young people of today are too impatient!"
Director Li himself knew that the reason for this situation was the accumulated habits over the years, and it couldn't be changed overnight.
