Chapter 21 Come work at our Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Su Xiangwan nodded: "Sure! Are you looking for someone?"
Anthony got angry again when the topic came up, waving his hands incessantly: "I want to find the person in charge of translating for us. He's the one who stole this thing, ran away, and left us here."
When did this happen?
“It happened just an hour ago. When I got up to use the bathroom this morning, the things were still there,” Anthony said angrily.
"Now describe what he looks like to me."
As she spoke, Su Xiangwan picked up her pen again and began to draw the translator's appearance based on Anthony's description.
Everyone stared in disbelief as Su Xiangwan, after communicating with Anthony for only a dozen minutes, produced a simple sketch of a person on the paper.
"His eyes are lower at the corners, and his nose is flatter and wider..."
Anthony looked at Su Xiangwan's hands as if they were imbued with magic.
He meticulously recreated the appearance of the person he described on paper.
Vivian, the blonde beauty who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! Sue, you're amazing! It was him, he stole our machine..."
As he spoke, he pointed to a man in a Zhongshan suit standing to the side and began to say, “This man is with the translator, but he doesn’t speak our language.”
The man in the Zhongshan suit was Ding Yaping, the diplomatic staff member responsible for receiving Anthony and his party.
Seeing Anthony looking at her warily, Su Xiangwan could only give a helpless bitter smile.
Su Xiangwan nodded, explained the situation to the train conductor and police officer beside her, and then planned to leave with Gu Yanxiao.
"Su, could you stay here for a while? They can't understand what we're saying, and it would be really inconvenient if something happened!"
Anthony quickly spoke up.
God knows, he was truly fed up with the pain of not being able to speak the language.
Although he had expressed to his superiors the urgent need for translation, the translator assigned by them would take some time to arrive.
The train conductor, who was listening nearby with only a vague understanding, and the diplomatic staff member who had been sitting to the side with a pale face and anxious expression, also hurriedly asked them to stay in carriage number eight.
These are foreign friends who have come to invest. If anything goes wrong, the train conductor will bear primary responsibility.
This carriage had already been reserved for Anthony and his group, so there were many empty berths.
Su Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, indicating that she was worried about Gu's parents.
"No problem, just bring your mom and dad over."
Everyone agreed that even the train conductor took the initiative to bring two police officers to help the Gu family with their luggage.
Thus, under the shocked and envious gazes of Cai Baogen and the others, the Gu family was warmly welcomed by the train conductor and the railway police and entered the soft sleeper carriage.
"Yan Xiao, what exactly happened?" Even after being settled into the comfortable sleeper compartment, Gu's father still didn't understand what had happened.
My daughter-in-law only exchanged a few words with that foreigner, so why are the train conductor and the others being so enthusiastic towards her now?
As for Su Xiangwan's ability to speak English, the Gu family was not surprised.
The Su family is the richest family in Shanghai, and they have always placed the utmost importance on their children's education.
In her earlier years, Su Xiangwan's brother had studied in several countries.
Fluent in several languages.
So what's so strange about Su Xiangwan speaking English?
Gu Yanxiao recounted the matter to his father and the others, then said, "This matter is probably not simple."
Mr. Gu also keenly sensed something amiss: "You mean, there might be something... in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."
DT?
The last two words were not spoken by Gu's father.
Gu Yanxiao nodded.
Su Xiangwan is now involved in this matter.
Hopefully, the train police will be able to find the translator and the machine before the train reaches the next station.
In the next room, Su Xiangwan and Vivian were chatting as if they had known each other for a long time.
Through their casual conversation, Su Xiangwan learned that Anthony was the head of a bank in the United States, while Vivian was a technician at a machinery factory in the United States.
They came here to investigate investment opportunities, and the stolen machine was the equipment they needed for this investigation.
Hearing them say that, Su Xiangwan also had a vague guess in her heart.
Fortunately, not long after, the train conductor brought good news: with the portrait of Su Xiangwan, they had caught the translator.
Upon hearing this news, not only Anthony and his team breathed a sigh of relief, but also Ding Yaping, the director of foreign affairs, finally felt at ease.
God knows!
How did he get through those few hours?
If he messes up this foreign business mission, not only will he lose his position, but he'll also likely be labeled as colluding with bad elements, which would ruin his life.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the location of the Gu family with a grateful expression and bowed deeply to Su Xiangwan: "Comrade Su, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, not only would I have messed up my work, but it would have also caused serious losses to our country."
"Director Ding, you're too kind. It's my honor to be able to contribute to the country."
Su Xiangwan quickly stood up and said.
Although Vivian couldn't understand what they were saying, she held Su Xiangwan's hand affectionately, showing her closeness to Su Xiangwan through her actions.
Director Ding's eyes flashed when he saw her like this, and he asked, "I heard that Comrade Su went to Liaoning Province?"
“Yes, my whole family went to the Bakushu Commune in Liaoning Province to work in the countryside.” Su Xiangwan nodded.
Ding Yaping was immediately shocked: "Your whole family went to the countryside?"
Even when going to the countryside, a family would only send one or two people at most. It was truly rare to see an entire family go to the countryside.
Su Xiangwan said with a serious expression, "The great man said that the countryside is a vast world where much can be accomplished. Our family is willing to respond to the great man's call and contribute to rural development."
Ding Yaping's lips twitched.
Su Xiangwan looks like the kind of person who was spoiled and pampered.
With delicate skin and thin arms and legs, if you go to the countryside, you probably can't even lift a hoe. What kind of contribution can you make?
Such a perfect person, fluent in English and skilled in drawing, should be placed in their Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
With that in mind, he extended an invitation to Su Xiangwan directly: "A talent like Comrade Su is actually most suitable to work in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I wonder if you would be interested in working in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
The Gu family members were startled, but then looked at Su Xiangwan with delight.
In any case, it's better for her daughter-in-law to get a job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs than to suffer in the countryside with them.
