She was reluctant to touch the world of novels, and even less willing to be a real villain in reality.
Director Feng looked at He Tiantian with a complex expression and sighed inwardly again, "This girl is only two years older than my Baobao."
Yet, his own son was still like the landlord’s foolish son, full of childishness.
But look at He Tiantian—already able to handle the relationship with her real parents so calmly and clearly.
So resolute, so decisive... Probably something many adults couldn’t achieve.
Director Feng could only say that Tiantian’s real parents were incompetent, having deeply hurt their daughter, which led to such dire consequences.
Of course, that was the rationale, but online trolls and keyboard warriors wouldn’t reason like that.
Since ancient times, Hua Country has cherished the saying "filial piety comes first among all virtues," and only in recent years have there been voices online against moral hijacking—without knowing others’ hardships, do not urge them to be kind.
However, most people still uphold filial piety, and even the law is somewhat biased toward parents—parents may not support their children, but when parents are old, the children must fulfill their duty to support them!
If He Tiantian really became famous, and someone online started leading the narrative against her, her indifference toward her parents might truly become a point of attack.
"...Alright, then let’s not rush to sign the contract, let’s wait a bit longer!"
Director Feng was somewhat apprehensive but didn’t pay too much attention.
As long as there was no solid proof of scandal, such family conflicts, if marketed well, would pose no problem!
Nevertheless, Director Feng didn’t make a definite statement, giving himself enough leeway.
And so, the audition came to an end.
He Tiantian exchanged contact information with Director Feng, then took a cab back to the hotel.
She spent the entire afternoon and evening cooped up in the hotel working on her computer.
The next morning was the scheduled time for her interpretation job.
He Tiantian changed into a rather formal attire; she looked young and naive, but her demeanor was more than enough to command the room.
After arriving at the foreign trade company, the person in charge was momentarily stunned but didn’t question too much.
The intermediary had given a heads-up, "The interpreter we’ve hired this time is very young, but her Foreign Language skills are excellent, and she has solid professional knowledge."
Teacher Guo was a member of AIIC and wouldn’t joke about his professionalism and reputation.
True enough, when the negotiations began with the foreign party, this young-looking high school girl transformed into a savvy and competent industry insider.
Her on-site translation was almost synchronous with the foreign staff and the translated content was accurate, detailed, and highly professional.
An hour and a half later, the video conference ended smoothly.
"Miss He, thank you, your Spanish is truly impressive!"
The person in charge thanked and complimented her, and of course, did not forget to pay the fee.
A small language, strong professionalism, tight schedule, remote invitations that entail food and lodging costs... All these factors combined, He Tiantian’s one and a half hours of work earned her a direct payment of eight thousand yuan from the company.
He Tiantian was quite satisfied; this trip not only covered her travel expenses and accommodation but also left her with a surplus.
"Teacher Guo, the job is done, thank you!"
He Tiantian left the company and called Teacher Guo to express her gratitude.
"No problem, haha, Tiantian, you made a nice profit again. Don’t thank me too much, it’s mainly because of your own strengths!"
The client he had referred managing to complete the job perfectly also benefited Teacher Guo as an intermediary.
That trade company would remember his favor, and in need of simultaneous translation or when their relatives and friends needed, they would contact him first.
Because he was reliable!
Teacher Guo’s expansive network was built up just like that.
"I still have to thank Teacher Guo, your connections are really extensive."
He Tiantian gave Teacher Guo a modest compliment and then proceeded to the main topic, "There’s another thing, I’d like to ask for your help."
Teacher Guo was curious—He Tiantian was just an ordinary high school girl, what could she be struggling with?
"Teacher Guo, do you know any professors or experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
He Tiantian asked cautiously.
"Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Teacher Guo’s heart skipped a beat, "Tiantian, what do you need from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment, chose her words carefully, and slowly said,"I have a program related to artificial intelligence."
"I’d like to ask an expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to take a look... If it’s valuable, then it could be handed over to the state!"
He Tiantian’s voice was gentle and slightly nervous, but her tone was very firm.
