This is the Dragon Kingdom, not my own country. If I get beaten up, I might get some medical expenses, but if I'm crippled, how will I live when I go back? I'll definitely be thrown out like trash.
"Sorry, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." A true hero knows when to back down; he would never force his way in if he couldn't win.
Qian Xiao stood on tiptoe and grabbed Andrei's collar: "What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Tell me a message: I'll reluctantly accept your garbage machines. Don't think you're the only ones with technology. Remember what you did today, and don't ever come begging to us again."
"Our Dragon Kingdom is a nation of etiquette, and we value reciprocity above all else. Don't underestimate a young man's potential; even a lion cub can bite your neck off during its meal. Remember that?"
She even slapped Andrei's cheek in a rather insulting manner, making the veins on Andrei's forehead bulge. He didn't dare to utter a single word in response. Did it hurt? No, but it was damn embarrassing. However, faced with absolute power, he had no choice but to bow his head.
Regardless of what he's thinking, he doesn't dare utter a single harsh word right now.
"Leave gracefully," Qian Xiao said mercifully.
Andrei turned and left with a humiliated expression. The translator, Xiao Shang, suppressed a laugh and followed him away. He had translated every single word for everyone. This guy was really sarcastic, but it was also quite satisfying.
Qian Xiao patted the non-existent dust off his hands and turned around to see the admiring looks on everyone's faces. The country was currently weak, and they had to be extremely careful when dealing with these foreign guests, for fear of causing trouble for the country. They didn't have the sharp edge of the young comrades.
It was truly cathartic, and hopefully future generations of young people will emulate this spirit, as their nation's future depends on these young people for its rise.
Qian Xiao scratched his cheek sheepishly: "Well, haha, did I say something wrong? Will it cause trouble?" He said it quite readily, but he hoped it wouldn't actually cause trouble for the country.
Director Shang clapped his hands and said, "Well said! Young people should be so sharp and outspoken. We're all getting old and always thinking about the middle way. We've almost forgotten that we don't owe anyone anything. We should all stand up straight and be people with our heads held high."
"No, no, I just got angry when he insulted us. Well, let's go quickly, I'm still waiting to eat Master Lu's stir-fried liver tips."
Director Shang noticed that Comrade Xiao Qian was shy, and immediately urged, "Yes, yes, everyone is hungry, we haven't had lunch yet. Hurry up, Lao Lu has really put in the effort today."
The machine problem that had been a concern was solved, and we even gave the foreigners a taste of their own medicine. Everyone was in a great mood, so we opened a bottle of wine and shared it with everyone as a celebration.
"Come on, have a little something too?"
Qian Xiao quickly waved her hand, "Forget it, she'd be too drunk to drink so much. There are so many delicious dishes, she can't get drunk today. She has to eat a few more bites to make a profit."
"This really won't do. I'm not good at drinking at all. I can just drink soda. You guys drink more. If I drink, it will ruin all this good food."
Director Shang didn't force her, it was good that the young lady didn't drink alcohol: "Okay, there's more soda if you don't have enough. You should eat more, our Chef Lu hasn't shown his skills in a long time, he's used all his best skills for today's dishes."
"Of course, it looks incredibly delicious. Don't worry about me, you guys drink it."
Master Wu and Master Sun were also happy, but they only drank a little bit of alcohol to get a taste. They couldn't make the same mistake as Old Zhang. Ever since Old Zhang's incident, the few of them have almost never touched alcohol when they go out.
However, the dish really tasted good, especially to Qian Xiao's liking for rich and savory sauces. The sweet and sour pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour sauce was refreshing. It was the best sweet and sour pork she had ever eaten, bar none.
Qian Xiao rubbed her stomach and slowly made her way back to her temporary lodgings; she was stuffed from the meal.
She smacked her lips in lingering relish, but Master Lu's cooking skills were truly unparalleled. This was so delicious! She wondered if their factory could recruit Master Lu back. Just for this skill, she was willing to work overtime every day.
Qian Xiao is going back tomorrow and plans to take a good shower in her space. She hasn't showered since she arrived, and she feels like she smells bad in this early autumn season.
When she came out drying her hair, she saw Sun Kaicheng waiting for her: "Why did you come in? Aren't you busy?" When this guy gets working, he's often gone for ten days or half a month at a time.
"You finished early today, you must be exhausted?" Sun Kaicheng asked with concern, looking at Qian Xiao's bloodshot eyes and the dark circles under them.
"It's alright, but the moment the machine starts running, I feel a great sense of accomplishment," Qian Xiao said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Sun Kaicheng took out a hairdryer, paid, and smiled as he dried his hair: "My Erdan is so amazing, he can even handcraft imported precision parts. Tell me, who can do that?"
"Hehe, it's only so-so. Can't we upgrade our machines?" Seriously, every time Qian Xiao uses those machines, he has the idea of making a more advanced one.
"It's a tough situation. There are too few books, and foreign countries are imposing technological blockades on us. We can only proceed cautiously, like we're feeling our way across the river. But don't worry, we'll change this situation very soon."
"Oh~ Is there some news I don't know?" There's a hidden meaning in that sentence.
Sun Kaicheng nodded: "I heard that some outstanding young people have emerged and are currently in seclusion conducting research."
"More capable than you?" In Qian Xiao's eyes, Sun Kaicheng was already very capable; this guy was much smarter than him.
"You're much more capable than me. I believe our country will develop much faster than the history you have in your head."
Qian Xiao looked at Sun Kaicheng in surprise, only to see Sun Kaicheng nod very firmly.
"My God! What's wrong with this world?" It's already riddled with holes.
"Fortunately, they are all truly patriotic people."
Several previously unremarkable people suddenly became extraordinary, as if they had been given a cheat code. It was hard not to suspect them. Fortunately, they had all passed many tests and were people who were wholeheartedly dedicated to building the country.
"Double Egg, Double Egg, calling Double Egg!" Qian Xiao quickly called out to his friends.
The kitten floated in quickly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
When Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiao were alone together, Shuangdan rarely joined them. In Shuangdan's words, "Looking at you two hurts my eyes."
Qian Xiao rattled off Sun Kaicheng's words and her own guesses to Shuang Dan: "Tell me, what's wrong with this world? Will they find out about you?"
