376 Calm Down, Boy (2/2)

Jin Corporation's group continued to chat with the groups from the top multi-national companies. This time, however, another group joined these top dogs.

Grandpa Lu invited Long Industries to join them. Of course, Long Tengfei immediately accepted the invitation. This was an important opportunity to directly speak with the top executives in the world.

The other Chinese delegates looked on at Long Industries in envy, knowing that Grandpa Lu and Long Tengfei were future in-laws.

As for Iris, she ate with the two professors at a private room at the conference centre. Professor Schwarz was busy preparing Iris for her first official conference later.

Finally, lunch time was over.

Iris and the two professors headed to the conference she was assigned to as its sole interpreter. It was a conference between the Chinese and French delegates.

Jin Corporation and Long Industries were among the attendees. Both the Chinese and the French delegates were surprised to see Iris in this conference. Was she interpreting again? Did she know French too? They thought she could only interpret in English and Mandarin.

She smiled warmly at Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu from Jin Corporation's group and at Long Tengfei from Long Industries' group.

When everyone was seated, the host officially began the China-France business conference. And of course, Iris Long was introduced once again.

”Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Iris Long and I'll be your interpreter for this conference,” she said in both Mandarin and French.

The delegates' eyes widened in surprise hearing her speaking in perfect Parisian French.

Just like during the opening ceremony in the morning, Iris interpreted for all of the speakers in this conference. The Chinese and French delegates took turns in giving presentations. So far, Iris was able to interpret for them smoothly.

Her skills were put to the test during the questions and answers portion. The discussion had a quicker tempo and the exchanges between the delegates were rapid-fire.

As a result, there were instances when Iris fumbled and hesitated for a bit. Fortunately, she was able to recover quite quickly each time. Most of the delegates didn't notice, but Professor Schwarz certainly did.

Professor Schwarz sat beside Professor Hisakawa at a nondescript corner of the conference hall. She was taking notes while observing Iris' performance.

The China-France business conference finally ended in the late afternoon. Because of Iris' quick tempo of interpreting, this conference was actually the first to finish ahead of the other conferences happening at the same time.

Many of the delegates crowded around Iris to greet her personally.

”Miss Long, thank you very much for the hard work. You're amazing,” a Chinese executive told her.

”You speak French like a native,” a French delegate commented.

”Miss Iris Long, I'm actually a Black Star. May I ask for your autograph and maybe take a photo with you as well?” a relatively younger delegate asked her.

”Thank you for the support, sir. And yes you may,” Iris replied with a warm smile. She would always have a soft spot for loyal Black Stars.

After signing an autograph and taking a picture with him, other Chinese delegates followed suit. Soon, it suddenly became an autograph and photo session with Iris.

”What's going on?” a confused French delegate asked in English.

”Miss Iris Long is actually a rather famous celebrity. She's a musician who won many awards recently,” a Chinese delegate answered in English as well.

”What? Really? That's amazing! Wait, I'll ask for an autograph and a photo too.”

With that, some of the French delegates joined in the impromptu autograph and photo session with Iris.

Seeing all of the flies buzzing around his baby girl, someone was drowning in an ocean of vinegar.
