~3 minute read · 687 words

Nie Hongguo had heard from his younger brother that his third brother’s fiancé was a university student.

But now what he heard was that the fiancé actually went abroad?

During these times, going abroad meant either for official matters or having a well-off family. He somewhat regretted not speaking up to stop the family division.

While she was frowning, lost in her thoughts, she heard her sister-in-law He Yanqing say, "Third Brother, I’ll settle my family first before going to work, so I don’t have to take leave just after starting."

"Sure, arrange it as you see fit. It’s okay to start work a few days late. I’ll inform them then."

"Brother, thank you so much for the job."

"You’re my younger sister, of course, I’ll look after you more. Once both of you start working, things will be more comfortable."

After all, ever since he returned, this younger sister has been very good to him, and with her honest husband, as Xinyan put it, this couple is good to be around.

This left Nie Hongguo even more dumbfounded. His wife insisted on dividing the family because the sister-in-law didn’t have a job, and their parents decided to temporarily halve the living expenses, making her feel their side was losing out, so she kept finding issues.

Now it turns out, the mess at home was just a joke.

Over at Xinyan’s side, after getting off the plane and adjusting to the jet lag, she set about her tasks.

These students visiting abroad with the delegation were assigned to be accompanying translators for business leaders, while the officials’ translators were all from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

These days, Xinyan has been accompanying these leaders to various factory visits, gaining a lot of knowledge.

However, from the first day, she noticed that her translations of some professional terms were occasionally imprecise, so every day she would review the next day’s itinerary as soon as she returned.

She would then find the responsible person to get the materials related to the next day’s factory in advance, familiarizing herself with them and going over those technical terms to avoid any mistakes.

Thanks to her efforts, the subsequent itinerary tasks were completed exceptionally well, earning high recognition from both Chinese and foreign parties.

After completing the accompanying tasks that day, the school’s team leader gathered them for a meeting. The visiting group would have a discussion the next day; they didn’t have translation tasks, but there was an interaction task with a local university.

After the instructions, the team leader added, "Tomorrow you can dress freely, but be sure to look elegant and decent."

With that, everyone became excited: "Finally, we can wear the clothes we brought with us, I thought we wouldn’t have the chance to wear them."

The next day, when everyone came down to gather, it was clear they had put in a lot of effort, each radiating a youthful and vigorous vibe, truly reflecting the spirit of contemporary university students.

The team leader smiled, "Get on the bus, let’s set off."

As soon as they entered the university, they were led on a guided tour.

Afterward, they were taken to a large hall where the university’s faculty and students, arranged by the school in advance, were waiting.

However, not everyone here carried friendly expressions.

Xinyan, being a sensitive person, immediately noticed the unfriendly gazes from a few individuals.

Since it was friendly exchange, a series of arrangements would follow, naturally including competitions. But after the person in charge finished speaking, those few people’s expressions turned more disdainful, which made Xinyan very displeased.

At this moment, Jiang Peiqin leaned over: "Xinyan, look at those few over there huddled together, see how arrogant they’re looking at us?"

Xinyan squinted, "Then let’s show them the strength and style of us China university students."

So during the drawing lots arrangement, she deliberately put in extra effort, eager to see if they could still be so arrogant afterward?
