Wang Jun glanced at the two men, smiled and nodded, closed the car door for them, returned to the driver's seat, and the vehicle slowly started moving.
Xia Lan looked out the window at the scenery until the car stopped. Only then did she come to her senses and get out of the car with Xu Yu.
"This is……"
"The Great Hall!"
Xu Yu proudly introduced it to Xia Lan.
"We meet important people here!"
Xu Yu was overjoyed. No wonder his grandfather had repeatedly reminded him that he must perform well today and not embarrass him.
This opportunity isn't something you can just get easily.
Xia Lan looked at the building. She had seen it countless times, but she had never been so close to it before.
"Xia Lan, Xu Yu, please follow me!"
Wang Jun smiled at the two of them and led the way.
The two followed Wang Jun and successfully passed through security, arriving at a conference room. Xiao Guoqiang sat down, frowning as he looked at a pile of documents in his hands.
"Teacher Xiao, I've brought Xia Lan and Xu Yu here."
Wang Jun approached Xiao Guoqiang and reported in a low voice.
Xiao Guoqiang looked up, saw Xia Lan and Xu Yu, and waved to them.
"Old Xiao."
The two men nodded respectfully to Xiao Guoqiang.
"Come, come, have a seat! We still have some time, you can take a look at the documents first."
Xiao Guoqiang handed a copy of the document to Xu Yu and Xia Lan. Xu Yu carefully took it and was overwhelmed by the ant-like writing on it.
Xia Lan looked at the document in her hand and raised an eyebrow.
The information about studying abroad is described in English above.
Xiao Guoqiang looked at the two of them and waited silently.
"Mr. Xiao, what kind of character is this...?"
Xu Yu said awkwardly that he didn't understand a single word.
Old Xiao chuckled and introduced Xu Yu.
"This is called English, it's the language of another country."
Old Xiao noticed that Xia Lan was looking at the document with a serious expression, as if she were reading its contents.
Just as I was about to remind her, Xia Lan looked at one of the lines and suddenly frowned.
"Mr. Xiao, these contract terms... were they drafted by you, or provided by the other party?"
Xia Lan pointed to one of them, presented it to Old Xiao, and asked softly.
Old Xiao glanced at it casually, and his eyes were instantly fixed on that clause.
"They get to decide whether to terminate or cancel the contract? That's a joke! What do they take us for?!"
Xiao Guoqiang slammed his fist on the table and stood up in anger. He didn't have time to ask Xia Lan how she knew English; the more important issue needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
In an instant, chaos erupted as everyone on the scene began to run. Xia Lan and Xu Yu exchanged a glance, then obediently sat down and pretended to be invisible.
"Xia Lan, can you understand it?"
Xu Yu glanced at Xia Lan and asked curiously.
"Grandpa Du taught me that!"
Xia Lan smiled faintly.
Xu Yu knew that Professor Du was reported because he had foreign books found in his possession, so it was not surprising that Professor Du could speak English; he knew that Professor Du spoke several languages.
Xia Lan will know; it must have been Old Master Du who taught her.
"You actually understand this? Can you teach me?"
Xu Yu looked at Xia Lan with shining eyes. Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"But you can't say that I taught you!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell!"
Xu Yu nodded heavily.
The two waited for a long time before Xiao Guoqiang returned with his group.
Upon seeing Xia Lan, he reached out his hand to her.
"Xia Lan, you've helped us discover a huge loophole this time. You've done a fantastic job!"
Xia Lan shook hands with Xiao Guoqiang and chuckled.
"Mr. Xiao, you're too kind! It was just a small favor."
Xia Lan said modestly.
"Your small act of kindness has saved our country from considerable losses!"
Xiao Guoqiang said earnestly.
"Old Xiao, time is running out, we need to get going!"
Wang Jun checked the time; it was almost time for the appointment, and he couldn't delay any longer.
"Come with me!"
"With the country opening up, we in Beijing are establishing an economic development zone, and we are here today to meet with two investors!"
Xiao Guoqiang led Xia Lan and Xu Yu outside, introducing them to Xia Lan along the way.
Originally, it was just to do a favor for an old friend and let Xia Lan and Xu Yu broaden their horizons, but now, Xiao Guoqiang understands why Du Wenqing asked him to bring Xia Lan along.
He no longer hid anything and told Xia Lan his purpose for today.
Xia Lan nodded.
Following Xiao Guoqiang to the room where foreign guests were being received, two blond, blue-eyed men in suits were sitting on the sofa smoking cigars.
When he saw Xiao Guoqiang come in, he only glanced at him and then casually put out his cigar.
He straightened his suit collar before walking over.
"Hello, I'm Billy Carver, and this is my companion, Galen Neham. It's a pleasure to meet you both!"
Billy introduced himself in fluent American English, but Xiao Guoqiang didn't respond for a long time.
He curled his lips in disdain.
The translator that Xiao Guoqiang had prepared immediately stepped forward to translate the other party's meaning for him.
Xiao Guoqiang smiled.
"Hello, I am Xiao Guoqiang! It is a pleasure and an honor to meet you."
"..."
The two sides communicated with the help of a translator.
Xia Lan listened silently the whole time.
When the two sides had almost finished their discussions and Billy asked to sign the contract, Xia Lan walked to Xiao Guoqiang's side and secretly tugged at his clothes.
Xiao Guoqiang was taken aback for a moment, then said that they had been talking for so long, and it would be good to take a break, as he needed to prepare the contract.
