"Xiao Xi, do you know why I brought you along?"
As Qiu Xi unfolded the folder in her hands, she heard Mr. Xue ask.
Qiu Xi hesitated and nodded, "Mm, I think I know..."
The folder mentioned spoken language requirements, and if she guessed correctly, that was the main reason.
As for the rest... training her was probably part of it.
"Alright, I was just asking. Focus on the presentation now, we don't have much time."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay."
As soon as they finished speaking, the car fell into a profound silence.
Aside from the occasional rustling of paper, no other sounds could be heard.
After about ten minutes, the car stopped.
"Mr. Xue, we've arrived."
"Mm."
He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out, "Are you ready?"
"Mm, no problem."
"Good, then let's go in."
If things went quickly, it would be over soon. If they were slow, it might take another hour or two.
Which of the two scenarios would unfold depended on their performance.
Xue Han led the two towards their target company. As soon as they entered, someone greeted them.
"Hello, Mr. Xue."
"Our General Manager Hu has been waiting for some time. Please follow me."
"Alright, please lead the way."
Giving the two behind her a look, Xue Han stepped forward, with the receptionist leading the way.
...
"General Manager Hu, apologies for the wait."
"No need to apologize, we haven't even reached the scheduled time yet~" General Manager Hu smiled, appearing like an old fox.
"You're too kind, General Manager Hu~"
"Shall we get started then?" With a few brief exchanges, Xue Han handled it with practiced ease.
"Of course, Mr. Xue, please come this way."
"Okay."
Xue Han glanced back and said faintly, "You two, keep up."
Qiu Xi and the other nodded, "Mm."
"Mr. Xue, we're here. Our project manager will be here shortly."
"Alright."
"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Xue, we'll begin immediately."
"Mm."
With that, General Manager Hu sat to the side, while Xue Han waved at Qiu Xi.
"Xiao Xi, you'll do the presentation later. Jiang Qin will take notes below. Make sure you grasp it well."
She would have to deal with the wily General Manager Hu herself.
That task wouldn't be easy.
It all depended on whether this girl could handle it.
"Okay, Mr. Xue, don't worry. I'm confident."
Although it was a bit sudden, she had already reviewed the materials, so it wasn't too difficult.
"Good. Then prepare yourself, someone will be here shortly."
"Mm."
A few minutes later, the project manager General Manager Hu mentioned finally arrived.
Contrary to what Qiu Xi and the others had imagined, she was a very capable-looking woman.
With neat short hair and a well-tailored women's suit, she merely gave a curt nod to her own General Manager Hu upon entering.
"General Manager Hu, let's start as soon as possible."
General Manager Hu seemed to be somewhat obedient to his project manager, nodding, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
He then turned to Xue Han, "Mr. Xue, we can start now, correct?"
Xue Han gave a fake smile, "Of course, there's no problem."
After handling that, Xue Han looked at Qiu Xi, "Xiao Xi, let's begin."
"Okay."
Qiu Xi nodded at Xue Han, took her folder, and walked out from the side.
At this point, Jiang Qin smoothly distributed the printed documents she had brought to everyone present.
Seeing this, Qiu Xi stood before the projector screen, steadied herself, bowed slightly in greeting, and then began her introduction with poise.
Her fluent spoken language, effortlessly switching between English and French, surprised everyone present for a moment at the beginning.
Setting aside their own team, the person who had worn a cold expression since entering the room showed a slight crack in her aloofness.
She knew exactly what kind of people Xue Han had working for her!
This one must be new!
Initially, she had planned to spend some time dismissing this introductory period, intending to negotiate directly with Xue Han afterward.
But she hadn't expected this!
This young girl actually had some talent...
Suddenly, she found it quite interesting.
And so, she began to scrutinize the person in front of her.
Sensing this shift, Xue Han's lips curved into a smile.
It seemed this move had paid off.
She had researched Tang Qi before they came; the woman was very discerning!
She probably looked down on her when she first walked in...
While they were lost in their thoughts, Qiu Xi was diligently delivering her presentation.
In her short eight years...
Having been doing this for so long, she could still stay by Mr. Xue's side, not because of anything else, but because of her diligent and eager-to-learn attitude.
Although her talent wasn't exceptional, after several years, she had only managed to solidify her English. As for anything else... her progress was truly limited...
To think that Qiu Xi, a university student who hadn't even graduated yet, was so capable...
It was truly... a bit enviable and jealous!
"Your name is... Qiu Xi?" Tang Qi asked with great interest.
Glancing at Mr. Xue beside her, Qiu Xi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am."
"You're quite capable. Do you have any interest in, perhaps, working elsewhere?"
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
Qiu Xi was a little stunned, Jiang Qin was full of questions, and Xue Han was filled with shock and dissatisfaction!
The main person was still here!
And she was already trying to poach her?
"Ahem!"
"General Manager Hu, Manager Tang, can we perhaps start?"
If they could negotiate, let's negotiate and leave quickly!
"Hahaha~" General Manager Hu gave a silly laugh, "Of course, of course."
"Tang Qi, don't keep them waiting, let's start directly."
"Since General Manager Hu has spoken, we'll follow General Manager Hu's lead."
Saying that, her expression turned serious, and her gaze swept towards Xue Han, who had spoken next.
"Mr. Xue, there's no time like the present, let's begin."
"I'll do as Manager Tang says."
"Alright, then I'll be direct."
"I've listened to your introduction. How can you guarantee that you will meet our requirements?"
Xue Han, unwilling to concede, retorted, "Manager Tang, isn't the truth more eloquent than words?"
"Indeed..."
"Perhaps we could let this... Qiu Xi give it a try, how about it?"
"..."
