Chapter 17
The man called Teacher Wei had blond hair and blue eyes, and he looked like a foreigner. But when he opened his mouth, he spoke pure Mandarin, “I’m looking forward to it.”
“Teacher Wei is the main lecturer sent by the School of Foreign Languages to the team. He is also a teacher representative. For this exchange meeting, the school sent him to stay in the team to follow up on the project we are studying this time.”
Dean Hu took the opportunity to introduce Wei Wei again. “Teacher Wei is a top student at Harvard. He volunteered to come to China to teach because he likes our 5,000-year-old culture. His Chinese is very good. He even chose his own name.”
Wei Wei greeted everyone with a smile.
Looking at the people in front of her who were looking forward to seeing Bai Yan, Xu Qingqing felt uncomfortable.
She glanced at Zhihua sinisterly, and Zhihua immediately got the message and interrupted cunningly: “Commander, I heard that this female comrade is not only capable, but also very beautiful?”
Lu Zhenhua is usually kind and friendly. Although he holds a high position, he does not have any airs of a leader.
In addition, the person asking the question was his subordinate’s daughter, so he didn’t think much about it and replied with a smile, “She is indeed a pretty little girl.”
When talking excitedly, Lu Zhenhua turned around and praised Dean Hu generously, “She is so cute and sweet, and her accent seems to be from southern Jiangsu. Hechuan brought her here that day, and she kept calling him uncle, which made Old Zhang grin from ear to ear. His whole face was full of smiles.”
Captain Xu was a rough man who had fought his way through mud and blood. He was forty years old when he had his precious daughter, Xu Qingqing.
He had known Xu Qingqing’s thoughts for a long time, and he also agreed in his heart that Meng Hechuan was the candidate for his future son-in-law.
When she heard Lu Zhenhua praise others instead of his own daughter, she was unhappy. “Old Chief, I don’t like to hear this. How beautiful can she be? Is she as pretty as my daughter?”
“They are all beautiful. They are all beautiful.”
“Qingqing is a typical Jingzhou girl, generous and outgoing, but there are also beauties in Jiangnan. Captain Xu, we are in the new century now, and girls also make up half the sky. It will be beautiful if a hundred flowers bloom!”
Dean Hu is good at speaking. With just a few words, he eased the atmosphere and aroused the expectations of the people around him for Bai Yan.
Everyone stopped talking and walked towards the door, waiting for Bai Yan to show up.
Captain Xu, who was being held by his daughter, deliberately lagged behind by two steps and asked Xu Qingqing in a low voice, “Qingqing, what kind of woman did Hechuan bring back? Why didn’t you tell me? Aren’t you in a hurry? Why did you foolishly follow him to see it?”
He looked his daughter up and down. “Although you have been beautiful since you were young, like your mother, but if you don’t dress up today, what if you are really overshadowed?”
“Dad, don’t worry!”
Xu Qingqing’s lips curled up into a smile, “These days the team has been saying that the woman Hechuan brought back is as beautiful as a flower. Humph, we can tell whether she is a mule or a horse by taking her out for a walk. Besides, sometimes, the greater the expectations, the greater the blow of disappointment!”
As they were talking, a figure appeared at the door.
Everyone craned their necks and looked towards the door expectantly.
The person walking towards me was indeed a girl.
But the girl had dark skin, a round face, and walked timidly.
It can’t be described as watery and beautiful at all.
Her gestures were even more ungracious, because when she entered the room, she saw so many people standing at the door staring at her. She was frightened and pulled at the hem of her skirt shyly, her leather shoes tapping.
Plus, she has so many bright red elements on her, which at first glance is quite ridiculous.
Zhihua’s eyes flashed, and he rushed to the door to pull her, “Comrade, it’s you, right? You are the female comrade that Chief Engineer Meng brought back from outside?”
Zhihua had his back to everyone, standing at a very tricky angle.
From the side, it seemed like she just pulled lightly, but in fact, only she knew that she had used all her strength to pull, which directly caused Ruan Xiaohui, who was not used to high heels, to lose her balance.
With a bang, Ruan Xiaohui had just stepped into the door when she fell straight to the ground.
Wei Wei was the closest. He stepped forward like a gentleman and reached out to help Ruan Xiaohui up. “Are you alright?”
Ruan Xiaohui looked up with a confused look on her face. She had never seen a foreigner before.
Suddenly I saw that the man in front of me was blond, blue-eyed, with a high nose bridge. His eyes were bigger than copper bells, and he moved his butt backwards to hide.
Hearing him mumbling something in a language she couldn’t understand, Ruan Xiaohui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly uttered a dialect in a shrill voice: “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
The surroundings were cold for a moment. Wei Wei, who didn’t understand the dialect, blinked innocently and looked at Dean Hu, as if asking, wasn’t it said that the girl in front of him was a little expert who was proficient in English?
Zhihua shouted exaggeratedly: “No way? Didn’t they say that the female comrade brought back by Chief Engineer Meng is a great translator? How could she not understand what the foreign teacher said? Then is the document she translated for Chief Engineer Meng correct? Isn’t there a problem?”
Before Lu Zhenhua could open his mouth, another figure approached the door.
“My feet don’t hurt anymore, can I walk on my own?”
“Go down the stairs and walk on your own.”
The voices of a man and a woman were heard, and everyone looked over.
The girl in the red dress had a very beautiful face. Her skin was fair and translucent, and her lips, which were lightly coated with lipstick, were soft and plump. When she spoke, her lips opened and closed, and her long eyelashes were slightly raised. Anyone who saw them would be moved.
“Huh?”
Seeing a row of people standing at the door, including Chief Lu, whom Meng Hechuan had taken her to see when she first arrived at the Space Brigade, Bai Yan was a little stunned, “What is this?”

As her gaze moved to the right, she saw, in addition to Chief Lu, an elderly woman and a foreigner.
I even saw the ‘bullying team’ that I ran into in the afternoon.
Xu Qingqing couldn’t believe her eyes and shouted in astonishment: “Hechuan?”
Her shocked eyes moved from Meng Hechuan to his arm, on which was Bai Yan’s long and thin hand.
Bai Yan reacted after a moment and quickly pulled her hand out of Meng Hechuan’s arm.
If I’m not mistaken, the people standing in front of them must be waiting for them deliberately.
“Chief, Dean Hu, Captain Xu.” Meng Hechuan tilted his head to introduce, “Everyone, she is the person I brought back from this trip south, Bai Yan.”
“Bai Yan.”
He paused, then turned sideways and reminded Bai Yan to greet them one by one, “Head, you meet me, this is Captain Xu, this is Dean Hu, and this one is…”
Although Meng Hechuan’s grandfather was one-quarter German, since he could remember, his mother rarely mentioned his grandfather’s family, let alone had any contact with them.
So even though Meng Hechuan looks one-eighth exotic, his English level is limited to some basic grammar learned in high school.
When Wei Wei saw him introducing himself, he looked at Dean Hu uncertainly.
After what happened to Ruan Xiaohui just now, Wei Wei didn’t know whether he should introduce himself to Bai Yan in Chinese or in English.
Just as he was in a daze, Bai Yan took a step forward and stretched out her hand: “Hello, my name is Bai Yan, it’s nice to make you a quaintance. Hello, I’m Bai Yan, nice to meet you.”
