Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 490: 490 envy



"Very pleased to meet you, Tan Qiyan. I am James." He said, extending his hand.

Qi Yan and the others had been taught by Zhang Yaohan about the etiquette here, so they extended their hands as well. The two shook hands.

Hearing the strange accent calling her brother's name, Qi Wen pressed her lips together and chuckled.

James noticed the little girl as well, so he extended his hand, "Beautiful angel, so pleased to meet you."

Qi Wen had to stand up, though she wasn't keen on interacting with people outside her family.

Still, she extended her hand, "I am also very pleased to meet Mr. James. You are very tall and robust. I am Tan Qiwen."

The smile on James's face became even more pronounced. "Thank you for the compliments, angel."

Qi Hong stood up as well. He proactively extended his hand, "Hello, Mr. James. I am Tan Qihong."

James bent over to shake hands with Qi Hong, "I am even more delighted; it is my honor to meet you all."

Actually, he was waiting for Su Yuanyuan to introduce herself. But he saw such a beautiful woman just sitting there with a smile, watching her children.

"Mr. James, we're all done eating. Thanks for your hospitality. On behalf of my family, I thank you," Qi Yan said, diverting James's attention because he didn't like others staring at his mom.

The smile on James's face was very kind, "Sure. I hope we get the chance to meet you all again in the future."

"Yes, I look forward to it too."

After seeing James off, as soon as Qi Yan sat down, Qi Hong and Qi Wen gathered around. "Big brother, were you nervous just now?"

Qi Yan nodded calmly, "I was nervous."

"Really? I didn't notice. Right, Second Brother, did you notice?"

Qi Hong also nodded, "I didn't notice either. But big brother, you performed quite well."

Su Yuanyuan listened to the children with a smile, finding it particularly amusing.

There was a subtle pride in her heart. These are her children, after all.

People around them were quite surprised. They knew the family had learned foreign languages and had teachers, but they hadn't expected their foreign language skills to be this good.

Could it really be true that a tiger father has no dogs? How could their children be so outstanding? Even this group of adults couldn't speak like that, right?

This Tan Shaoting truly makes people envious. The men also noticed Su Yuanyuan's foreign language, speaking almost like a native. The women chose to ignore it.

This was the last banquet, so Su Yuanyuan didn't rush to leave with her children, thinking that staying a little longer wouldn't hurt.

Just then, there was some commotion outside; it turned out the leader had arrived.

All attention was immediately shifted in that direction.

The children hadn't seen their father for several days, but they were all smiling as they watched him.

Tan Shaoting also looked over. His usually expressionless handsome face showed a smile in front of outsiders for the first time.

Those observing them realized, wow, he does know how to smile; he just only smiles when he sees his wife and kids.

James saw it too, and he understood why the three kids were so good-looking; they had such excellent parents.

Looking at that pretty woman with eyes full of smiles, their marriage must be very loving, right?

Su Yuanyuan felt glad they didn't leave early. The four of them stood afar, watching.

With the leader present, the banquet certainly wouldn't end early.

Another half hour passed, and Tan Shaoting and others escorted the leader away.

The venue returned to its former lively state. Conversations continued.

"Mom, shall we go back?"

"Should we wait a little longer? Actually, we never waited until the banquet ended before leaving. This is the last banquet, so let's wait."

The three children had no objections; watching the comings and goings and the rich facial expressions of people was interesting.

Su Yuanyuan went to get some fruit for them to eat, fearing they might get a heat sensation from eating too much steak.

Others planning to leave focused on the four of them, wondering why they hadn't left. They usually left first, giving others the excuse to leave as well.

But today, why weren't they following the unwritten rules?

They waited until the officials from this side also left. Finally, the host announced the end of the banquet, and everyone began to go upstairs in succession.

The four returned to their room; after washing up, the children went to sleep. Su Yuanyuan tidied up their purchases, clothes, and the like. Other items and gifts were sorted together.

Finally, she packed up all the books, thinking that they might be inspected.

However, there wasn't anything sensitive outside, so there was nothing to worry about.

They'd be leaving tomorrow. The leader had many more people to meet.

Tan Shaoting stood behind the leader the whole time.

Honestly, in the eyes of outsiders, this was indeed very honorable, but Tan Shaoting just considered it work.

Until it was midnight, the leader wanted to rest.

"Xiao Tan, your children are truly excellent."

"It's always been my wife teaching them."

"Not bad, they're all very good."

Tan Shaoting shared a room with the leader at night. To be honest, sensing everything out was quite tiring.

But soon they could leave. As long as they arrived safely back in their country, it would have nothing to do with him.

Seeing the children today made him quite excited. He wondered if they were satisfied with this place. With their mother accompanying them, they must be especially happy.

He felt somewhat negligent, as he, as a father, had no time to accompany the children.

The next day, the four of them still went downstairs for breakfast; they had gotten used to drinking milk. However, they were not quite satisfied with having burgers for breakfast.

"It's about changing tastes. After we leave this afternoon and return home, there will be no burgers with this taste anymore."

"Mom, didn't you buy salad dressing?"

"Yes, I'll make it for you when we get back, and you can see the difference in taste from here."

Actually, Su Yuanyuan thought the children would enjoy cola, but they weren't very interested in it.

"Mr. Su, you've bought so many things. Do you think we can take them back with us? I heard from the person in charge that they'll check our luggage."

A leader's wife asked with some concern.

Su Yuanyuan hadn't chatted with them before. This time, since she came over, she must have had a lot on her mind.

Su Yuanyuan took it seriously. "Comrade, I think they will be very thorough in their checks." This person wasn't planning to take anything illegal with her, was she? She mustn't, or it would affect the whole team. Then things would get troublesome and hard to explain, wouldn't they?
