377 Wrapped Around Her Little Finger (2/2)
Grandpa Lu was being noisy again, so he got a polite request to lower his volume from Professor Schwarz. Professor Hisakawa only sighed and smiled helplessly.
”Bah! That's because you're taking too long, Kalisha! You should hurry and finish up! How long are you planning on lecturing Xiulan? I want to know! We're all done for today! Let's go out and eat dinner! This old man is getting hungry! I want some seafood!”
It was Iris who replied to him. ”Grandpa Lu, please wait for a bit more. I also want to hear Professor Schwarz's opinions about my interpretations today. Even I wasn't satisfied by my own performance. I want to improve more and do better next time.”
Ever the doting grandfather, Grandpa Lu immediately changed his tune. ”Of course, my girl! Take your time! I'll just 'quietly' chat with your father here!” he replied in his booming voice.
Professor Schwarz could only look at the ceiling and sigh helplessly. Then she chuckled.
”Darling, wait for me, okay?” Iris told Jin Liwei next.
”En.” Jin Liwei nodded. He also had a doting expression on his face.
”Father…”
”Don't mind us. Continue,” Long Tengfei replied before she could finish her sentence. As the father, of course he also had a doting expression on his face just like Grandpa Lu and Jin Liwei.
The mouths of Long Hui, Xu Tian and Cao Guang all twitched while watching them. This just proved that Iris had these men wrapped around her little finger.
Finally, Iris and Professor Schwarz were done reviewing. Everyone got ready to leave.
Iris headed straight to Jin Liwei and wrapped her arms around his waist. She inhaled his scent and immediately felt comforted. Of course, Jin Liwei hugged her back and kissed the top of her head.
”Tired?” he asked her.
She nodded but then said, ”But I like it.”
”Good. You were amazing. I'm so proud of you.”
She smiled. ”Thank you. But I want to do better tomorrow.”
”Just do your best and you'll be fine,” he said, stroking her cheek.
”You're also working tomorrow? For which conference?” Long Hui asked her.
”The China-Malaysia conference in the morning and then the China-Japan after lunch,” she replied. ”It'll be all-Asian for me tomorrow, so Professor Hisakawa will be the one supervising me.”
Professor Hisakawa nodded.
”Malaysia? Japan? Will you be working on two conferences per day starting tomorrow?” Long Tengfei asked this time.
”Yes, Father.”
”And it'll be in different languages each time. Am I right? I want to know! Wait, I already know! Bahahaha!” Grandpa Lu's laughter boomed throughout the room. ”We're already done, right? Can we eat now? This old man wants to eat some lobsters! Let's go!”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh with Grandpa Lu. His high energy was infectious. Iris didn't feel so tired anymore.
With that, the first day of the international business conference officially ended. There was no doubt that Iris Long was the most memorable highlight of the day. Through the delegates, Iris Long's name was starting to spread across the business world as a skilled interpreter and as a student of Madame Schwarz and Hisakawa-sensei.
