"Sister, you're too good to me. You don't have to work so hard. I'm still in my early pregnancy, so cooking a meal is no problem."
Xie Mingzhu immediately became serious when this was mentioned.
"How can it be nothing? Your health is a major concern for our family, and I won't allow even the slightest accident to happen."
"What if you accidentally slip and fall in the kitchen, or if one of the plates or bowls breaks and you get cut?"
"Also, the corner of that kitchen table is very sharp. What if you accidentally bump into it, or hit your stomach?"
"This is your second pregnancy, and it could very well be triplets. It's going to be so tough. Regardless of the babies' condition, if anything happens to you, given your health..."
Shu Ying chuckled and retorted, "Sister, why do you sound just like my mom?"
Xie Mingzhu's serious expression instantly turned into a smile. She reached out and pinched Shu Ying's nose, then simply went along with it.
"I'd love to! And you know what, taking care of you is just like taking care of my own daughter, which makes me quite happy and gives me a sense of accomplishment."
"My dear daughter~"
As she spoke, she patted Shuying's head like a child.
Shu Ying chuckled and covered Xie Mingzhu's mouth: "Sister, you can't let anyone else hear you say that. Our parents are still at the base. If you say this while they're not around, are you plotting to usurp the throne?"
"Be careful, your parents might find out and come straight back from the base to beat you up!"
Xie Mingzhu stuck out her tongue, and the two of them laughed happily.
When Shu Ying finished eating and tidied everything up before officially leaving, the car was already waiting in front of the door.
Upon arriving at the venue by car, Zhou Weizhou smiled and greeted Shu Ying as soon as he got out of the car.
Du Zhiwei rolled her eyes at Shu Ying, but said nothing, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
Shu Ying was too lazy to argue with her and treated her like air.
After exchanging a few words with Zhou Weizhou, Director Wu arrived shortly afterward with several colleagues, including Shi Yiwei and Shen Xin.
Director Wu greeted him with a smile.
"I'm so sorry I'm a little late. I'm sure everyone has been waiting."
Shu Ying smiled and said, "But if we can see Director Wu's amazing speech later, all the waiting will be worthwhile."
Du Zhiwei rolled her eyes silently from behind.
"You think you're so eloquent!"
Shu Ying pretended not to hear and made a few jokes with her colleagues, and the atmosphere quickly became relaxed.
"Alright everyone, get ready, we'll be able to enter in two minutes!"
Director Wu smiled and said something, then turned to confirm the details with the staff at the venue.
The surrounding colleagues began to take one last look at the materials in their hands and make final preparations.
Du Zhiwei glanced in Shu Ying's direction.
Seeing that Shu Ying had no expression and was carefully examining the documents, she immediately curled her lip and sneered.
You can tell he's nervous just by looking at him.
Pshaw, she pretends to be relaxed and cheerful on the surface, as if nothing can stump her, but that's all she's capable of.
I don't know how Director Wu dared to entrust such an important task to this outsider who only started out in this field.
"Do you really think that by learning a foreign language on your own in a short period of time, you can reach the level of simultaneous interpreting?"
"There are many intricacies involved here; it's not as simple as it seems."
"How can someone who hasn't received professional training possibly reach the same level as someone who has received professional training in a short period of time?"
"Does he really think he can steal the spotlight today? He's got some nerve, taking on any kind of mission."
