When she got home, Aunt Xiumei took out her tools and sat in the yard to start weaving.

Taohua and Yaya sat obediently by the side and watched Aunt Xiumei weave, occasionally handing over tools. They were well-behaved and pleasing.

On the other side, after Nanqiao hung up the phone, he told Minister Zheng about Aunt Xiumei's situation, and then stayed in the office for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, the group took a car to the train station.

The leaders of the whole town attached great importance to the visit of foreign businessmen. Therefore, after receiving the foreign businessmen, Nanqiao and his party went to the welcome party prepared by the steel plant immediately. Many senior leaders were also present.

Nanqiao followed Director Bai throughout the process and served as his translator

There are actually people who can speak Chinese on the foreign side, but they don't speak it very well. However, they can still communicate simply. So there is no need for Nanqiao to be responsible for the daily life of foreign businessmen. He only needs to translate the product introduction during working hours.

The welcome party lasted less than an hour, and the group went to the private room that had been reserved in advance at the State-owned Hotel.

They spent the whole afternoon talking about business matters. After they sat down, a person in charge of the foreign businessmen asked Nanqiao in a foreign language, "Miss, I just heard you say your last name is Nan. I love Chinese culture, so I know that this last name is not common in China. You know Director Bai, so I wonder..."

At this point, Ethan seemed to feel that his question was a bit presumptuous, and he paused before continuing, "I'm just curious. If Miss Nan feels that this is presumptuous, please forgive me."

"It's okay. You want to ask me what my relationship is with Director Nan of the Shanghai Steel Plant?"

"Ah, you guessed it right, so you are?"

Seeing Ethan's curious face, Nanqiao answered him in time, "Director Nan is my father."

"Ah! Really? That's great. Nan Ke and I have been friends for many years. At that time, I didn't have much to buy, and it was he who recommended me to come here. The products here are really great."

"Ah, really? That's fate," Nanqiao replied, pretending to be unaware of the cause.

"But why did Miss Nan come here?" Ethan asked puzzledly. In his impression, Miss Nan was the only girl in the family, and Nan loved her very much. How could he let her come to such a far place alone?

"Our country has a policy of sending educated youth to the countryside for re-education. I am just responding to the country's call."

"Miss Nan is really brave. Oh, by the way, I was at work and it was inconvenient for me to introduce you to Elijah, my son." Ethan smiled kindly on his handsome face and introduced the man next to him to Nanqiao.

"Hello, Qiao, I'm Elijah, nice to meet you." Elijah stood up and extended his hand to Nanqiao as a friendly gesture.

"Hello, Elijah." Nanqiao looked at the sunny boy with blond hair and blue eyes in front of him, stretched out his hand, shook it lightly, and then let go.

After the two sat down, Minister Zheng asked in a low voice, "Nanqiao, what are you talking about?"

"Ethan asked me if my father was from Shanghai, and said Elijah was his son." Nanqiao briefly explained to Minister Zheng and started eating.

Elijah had been traveling with his father since he was a child and had been to China many times. He knew some simple Chinese. While eating, he occasionally communicated with Nanqiao in the not-so-fluent Chinese language. He didn't pay much attention to the other people present.

Elijah's kindness and Ethan's overly kind eyes made Nanqiao feel a little strange, until Elijah put a piece of meat in Nanqiao's bowl... Nanqiao then realized where this strange feeling came from

I'm afraid that Ethan is trying to bring them together... But in this situation, the other party didn't say it clearly, so Nanqiao would not be the first to expose it. Not to mention whether the other party really has this intention, this situation alone is not the time to talk about this topic.

After dinner, Minister Zheng and his party sent Ethan and others to the guesthouse, agreed on a time for tomorrow, and then went home.

After returning home, Nanqiao took a bath in the space before going to bed.

After a good night's dream, Nanqiao went to the compound to meet Minister Zheng the next morning. As soon as Minister Zheng saw Nanqiao, he asked about the handicrafts anxiously

"Nanqiao, didn't you say yesterday that you would deliver the handicrafts today? How is it going?"

"I haven't received it yet. It should be sent directly to the steel plant. Sheng Yanchuan knows that I am there today."

"That's fine. If he hasn't arrived at noon, let's call him and ask." Minister Zheng said worriedly.

"Okay," Nanqiao nodded in response, and the group headed towards the steel plant. Not long after arriving at the steel plant, the car that picked up Ethan and the others returned.

Ethan, Elijah and another woman, Katherine, got out of the car together

Nanqiao declined Elijah's hug and just shook hands.

"Sorry, Elijah, in our country this way of greeting is too enthusiastic and can easily be misunderstood," Nanqiao said jokingly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Your foreign language skills are so good that I feel like I'm at home. Sorry, I was rude." Elijah was not embarrassed by the rejection and spoke to Nanqiao in a gentlemanly manner.

As they talked, they headed towards the factory. On the road, Ethan communicated with Minister Zheng and Director Bai in broken Chinese. They didn't talk about business, so there was no need for Nanqiao to translate for the time being.

So Elijah and Nanqiao walked side by side, one step behind.

"Qiao, have you ever been to my country?"

"No, but I will go and see it if I have the chance in the future. I believe it must be very beautiful there." Nanqiao thought about the places he had visited with his parents before he traveled through the book, and his eyes were full of longing.

"Why don't you wait until our trip is over and come with us to take a look? Don't worry about the formalities, I'll take care of them," Elijah promised, patting his chest.
