The car was parked not far away. After the three of them got into the car, they went to the cityâs cultural hall.
As the leader of the empireâs coastal economy, City Gâs economic development wasnât inferior to that of the capital.
There were also tall buildings all around. There were many commercial circles, and the cityâs cultural hall was also very unique. Its appearance was like a painting.
The conference would be starting at ten in the morning. It was only nine right now.
There was already a circle of reporters from all over the world outside the cultural hall, but it was heavily guarded today. Those reporters werenât allowed in.
The car drove straight into the designated parking lot. Principal Tang brought Chu Luo to get to know the Cultural Museumâs curator and the people from the City Cultural Bureau.
Everyone was a little surprised to see her.
After everyone shook hands and exchanged greetings, the Cultural Museumâs director looked behind the three of them and was a little surprised. âPrincipal Tang, you didnât bring a translation team this time?â
Principal Tang pointed at Chu Luo. âThatâs my translator.â
The curator and the people from the Cultural Bureau looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
Although they didnât say it explicitly, they didnât look optimistic.
The director of the Cultural Bureau decided to talk to the principal in private. He said to a woman beside him, âLittle Zhao, take Chu Luo around first. I have something to discuss with the principal.â
âOkay, Director.â After Little Zhao agreed, he looked at Chu Luo and said, âChu Luo, letâs go. Iâll take you around this cultural hall.â
âOkay.â
The moment the two of them walked away, the director of the Cultural Bureau frowned. âOld Tang, you have to think carefully. This time, the world famous schoolâs principal meeting is held in our empire. Youâre the host, so you canât make any mistakes. Otherwise, Imperial University will become a joke.â
Another person added, âThis kind of thing has happened in other countries before. The principal of that country didnât bring a translation team and was mocked by the principals of other countries. Later on, he couldnât withstand the pressure and quit. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?â
The others also advised him.
The director of the Education Bureau thought for a while and said, âHow about this? Weâll call the principal of University G and get him to send a few teachers from the foreign language department to be your translators.â
Even though everyone was anxious for Principal Tang, there was a wise smile on his face.
He said domineeringly, âSince I dare to bring Chu Luo here, I dare to bear all the consequences. If Iâm not worried, what are you worried about?â
â¦
Chu Luo followed Little Zhao as they walked on the path outside the cultural hall. There were many potted plants and flowers around them with butterflies flying on them. They looked especially beautiful.
As Little Zhao walked, she introduced the characteristics and architectural principles of this cultural hall to Chu Luo.
After the two of them walked out of the crowd, Little Zhao suddenly asked, âChu Luo, did Principal Tang really let you be his sole translator?â
It was obvious that she still didnât believe it.
Chu Luo nodded. âYes.â
âYouâ¦â
Little Zhao stopped talking. She wanted to say that she definitely couldnât do it, but she was worried that by saying that, Chu Luo would be affected before it even started.
Little Zhao thought for a while and said, âPreviously, when we held this kind of conference in another country, the principal representative of that country was picked on because he didnât bring many translators.â
At this point, Little Zhao couldnât help but remind her, âChu Luo, even though all of them are school principals, competition among them is actually even more intense.
âEvery famous school has its own characteristics. Not only do you have to show Imperial Universityâs characteristics, but you also have to grasp the characteristics of other schools. Only then can you know your enemy and deal with the traps that might embarrass Imperial University at any time.â
When Chu Luo heard this, she stopped to think for a while and asked her, âSister Zhao, this is a conference organized by the Cultural Bureau in G City. There must be all the information about these universities. Can you let me take a look?â
When Little Zhao heard this, she asked, âDidnât you read the information about these universities before?â
When Chu Luo and Little Zhao returned to where Principal Tang and the rest were, it was difficult for others not to notice the way Little Zhao looked at Chu Luo.
The director of the Cultural Bureau couldnât stand it anymore and reminded her, âLittle Zhao, what kind of expression is that? Donât scare the child.â
âChief, Iâ¦â Little Zhao stopped talking and was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet.
Principal Tang deliberately asked Chu Luo in a joking tone, âChu Luo, what did you do to Miss Little Zhao?â
Chu Luo shrugged innocently. âI didnât do anything.â
Little Zhao suddenly looked at Chu Luo and couldnât hold it in anymore. She said, âI think it was a mistake for Principal Tang to bring Chu Luo to be a translator. Chu Luo didnât even know which universities would be attending before coming here. Moreover, she just went with me to look at the details of those universities.â
What Little Zhao couldnât tolerate the most was that she felt that Chu Luoâs attitude towards reading the information was not good at all. The speed at which she flipped the pages was as if she was fanning herself. She had flipped through it in a flash.
When the people from Province G heard this, they looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
Chu Luo shut her mouth and couldnât be bothered to explain herself. She was calm.
Everyone turned to look at Principal Tang.
Principal Tang smiled like an old fox and didnât say anything.
The director of the Cultural Bureau also didnât feel reassured and made a decision. âLittle Lu, call University G and get them to send a translation team over immediately.â
The boy named Little Lu responded and took out his phone to make a call.
âHeyâ¦â Principal Tang couldnât stop him at all. He could only emphasize,â I really donât need other translators. â
After saying that, he even comforted Chu Luo. âChu Luo, even if the others come, just do what you have to do later.â
Chu Luo nodded.
Everyone wanted to pry Principal Tangâs head open to see what he was thinking.
Little Lu quickly finished making the call and returned. He said to everyone, âUniversity G has agreed to send some people over, but it will take more than an hour for them to get over from there. He told us to think of something ourselves during this time.â
âItâs good as long as some other people are coming over to translate.â The director and the others were relieved.
However, they felt relieved too early.
At around 9: 40 am, the other foreign school principals who lived in the hotel brought their teams over.
Everyone went out to welcome them.
The principal of Imperial University had been in the limelight a few times this year internationally. When those principals arrived, they surrounded him.
The principal of University L smiled and said in his native language, âTang, Imperial University is famous among the universities this year. I heard that the gaming capsule that your schoolâs Professor Wu and the Blazing Glory Corporation researched together is about to enter the open beta phase. When are you going to let Professor Wu hold an international public lecture? Let our students listen to the class too.â
The principal of University P: âThat Chu Luo from your school is really good. To think she was attacked by world hackers halfway through the universityâs Cybersecurity Competition. Not only did she guard your Imperial Universityâs database, but she even chased after the hackers to their lair. Iâm very curious. Was that really accomplished by that freshman from your school?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The curator and director of the Cultural Bureau standing at the side were a little worried.
The curator: âThese people have been so aggressive since this year. They must be jealous of Imperial Universityâs achievements this year.â
The director looked outside. He knew that the interpreters from University G wouldnât come so quickly, but he was still a little anxious. âThese people all speak their own countryâs language. Their interpreter isnât speaking either. Theyâre deliberately trying to make Old Tang unable to answer.â
âThere are a lot of reporters from all over the world this year. I hope Old Tang can hold on for this period of time.â
âEven if he canât, he has to. These people obviously came prepared. Just now, I heard a few schoolâs principals mention Chu Luoâs name. Are they prepared to focus all their attention on Chu Luo?â
âI wonder what Principal Tang thinks. Why didnât he introduce Chu Luo to everyone immediately? The two of them stood there and didnât say anything. It looks so awkward.â
âWhat can we do? Old Tang doesnât understand some words. You canât let him reply to the questions selectively. Those petty principals will have something to say again.â
Just as the director and the curator were anxious, Principal Tang, who had been smiling, finally made a halting gesture at them.
He pointed at Chu Luo and said to everyone in the international common language, âLet me introduce everyone. This is Chu Luo, the Chu Luo that many of you mentioned.â
Actually, everyone had noticed Chu Luo at first glance and had been wondering why Principal Tang had brought such a beautiful woman over this year.
Hearing his introduction, they looked at her in surprise.
Chu Luo nodded at them calmly and quickly greeted each principal. Then, she translated their words one by one to the principal.
When the principal heard this, he laughed and said in Imperial, âDonât be anxious. Iâll answer all your questions.â
Many principals who didnât understand the empireâs language had to get someone to translate.
Principal Tang immediately stopped her in the common language. âSince itâs us old friends greeting each other, itâs meaningless for you to call for an interpreter. Chu Luo, interpret for them.â
Chu Luo replied, âOkay.â
