This feeling is truly amazing.
Emily felt she had made the right decision to come, her pale blue eyes sparkling.
She glanced at Franklin beside her, only to see that Franklin was also looking intently at the woman on the stage.
Emily had only ever shown this expression to a respected scientist in Lannister.
It seems that Franklin was also captivated by this Eastern woman named Su Miaoyan.
Su Miaoyan delivered her prepared opinions and views in English.
Each English sentence was followed by a Chinese sentence.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally finished saying everything she wanted to say.
There was a moment of silence below.
This was followed by enthusiastic applause.
Her speech revolved entirely around the policy of "desertification control and afforestation".
Yan Huaili, Li Changfeng, Lin Fengxue, Song Zhenzhu, and others who were standing nearby all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the satisfied expressions on Emily and Franklin's faces.
This time, the translation went smoothly.
There were no other unexpected accidents along the way.
This went very smoothly.
Su Miaoyan bowed to everyone and returned to her seat with a smile.
Almost as soon as she returned to her seat, Emily reached out her hand to Su Miaoyan.
“Ms. Su, your speech was absolutely brilliant! It was so much better than that woman’s speech last time! Perhaps we could say that... there is simply no comparison between you and her.”
That woman from last time?
Su Miaoyan frowned slightly upon hearing this. The translator next to her seemed to realize that this was inappropriate and did not translate it.
Yan Huaili and the others were puzzled by Su Miaoyan's slightly changed expression and wondered why the translator hadn't translated it.
Su Miaoyan wasn't one to beat around the bush, so she went straight to the point: "Professor Emily, may I ask, regarding that woman's speech you mentioned last time, who is this woman you're referring to?"
Emily smiled and said, "Of course. That woman should still be working at your Xinjiang Military Region Research Institute, right? I remember her name is Professor Wei Yaping."
Wei Yaping?
Isn't this the professor I met yesterday?
Su Miaoyan instantly connected that incident with what Emily had said.
At the same time, they understood why Emily, Franklin, and others truly harbored resentment towards the Xinjiang Military Region.
Perhaps because of the previous drip irrigation experiment incident, the two have always believed that the Xinjiang Military Region did this intentionally, and that its purpose was to look down on them and give them a hard time.
That makes sense. You invite someone to visit an experiment, but not only does the experiment fail, a water pipe bursts, and water splashes all over both of them. How could they not be angry?
Thinking of the experiment she had conducted last night, Su Miaoyan said, "To be honest, I also conducted a similar experiment, but I made some improvements based on the previous experiment. It was conducted in the experimental field of our research institute. I wonder if you would be interested in visiting it."
Emily and Franklin looked hesitant, glancing suspiciously at Yan Huaili and the others sitting not far away. They remained silent for a few seconds, clearly worried about something.
Even the tall, burly security guards behind the two men looked serious and took a few steps forward.
Su Miaoyan naturally knew the concerns in their hearts, and said with a smile, "Professor Emily, Professor Franklin, don't worry, this experiment was done entirely by me, and it was tested before you came, so the accident that happened last time should not happen again."
Emily and Franklin exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some kind of consensus, and finally looked at Su Miaoyan and said, "Ms. Su, I'd like to ask, have you only been working here for a short time?"
Su Miaoyan did not deny it, "Yes, I only started working at the research institute this year."
"May I ask which university you graduated from?"
Su Miaoyan didn't waste any time and told him the name of her previous university.
The two looked surprised, seemingly not expecting that such a talented person would only attend such a flashy but impractical university.
Without asking any further questions, she simply nodded in agreement, "Okay, Miss Su, I'll go with you, but we have one request."
What are the requirements?
Although Emily and Franklin didn't seem like people who lacked sense of propriety, Su Miaoyan was still afraid that they might make some excessive demands.
Emily said, "After I've finished visiting your lab, could you come with us to your Gobi Desert?"
Su Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course."
Emily added, "I want to see your checkered sand barriers!"
“Okay!” Su Miaoyan stood up from her seat. “Come with me, we’ll go test it first.”
"no problem!"
Seeing Emily and Franklin stand up, Yan Huaili and the others followed suit.
Just as the group was leaving, they happened to run into Wei Yaping, who was wearing a research coat.
"Why is it you?"
Emily gasped in surprise when she saw the person who had arrived.
Wei Yaping showed no trace of the madness Su Miaoyan had displayed yesterday. She naturally shook hands with the other person, saying, "Long time no see, Professor Emily."
Professor Emily did not extend her hand, but smiled at the other person, and Franklin and the translator beside her tacitly agreed with Emily's gesture.
Emily silently moved closer to Su Miaoyan, pretending not to understand Wei Yaping's meaning.
Wei Yaping's smile froze for a moment. She wasn't stupid; she naturally noticed the difference in how Emily treated her compared to how she treated Su Miaoyan.
A feeling of hatred arose in his heart.
How did Su Miaoyan, a mere assistant, gain the trust of these two so quickly?
Hmph, but...
She wouldn't let them have their way.
Today is her last chance to prove herself, and she won't miss it!
She withdrew her hand and turned to Yan Huaili, saying, "Professor Yan, may I go with you to see it?"
Yan Huaili frowned slightly, but considering the other party's considerable contributions to the research institute, he finally agreed: "Okay."
Wei Yaping stood silently behind Yan Huaili, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Assistant Su is quite sensible, as she didn't tell Yan Huaili about what happened yesterday.
She glanced at Su Miaoyan.
They had no idea that Su Miaoyan was simply too busy yesterday and didn't have time to talk about it.
The group headed towards the location of the experimental field.
Emily talked to Su Miaoyan the whole way. She didn't know why, but listening to the other woman speak such fluent English always made her feel a sense of closeness to her.
Perhaps it's because we're now... on foreign soil.
Hearing familiar language may have eased your inner anxiety!
