Chapter 480 - 454: Foreign Guests

After dealing with those two old men, no one came to the village to cause trouble for Yun Jiao’s family anymore.

However, a while later, quite a few strangers started appearing in the village.

Some were even foreigners.

When Yun Jiao and her brothers got home from school, the strangers sitting in the courtyard all turned to look at them in unison.

Yun Jiao and her brothers: ???

’What’s going on? Did we come to the wrong house?’

They glanced at the house. ’Nope, this is our place.’

"Yun Jiao!"

A voice called out in broken Chinese.

Yun Jiao looked over, and the person rushed forward, nearly sweeping her into a hug.

"Who are you?"

Brother Qi and Brother Ba blocked the way.

"It’s—it’s me! Eva! Yun Jiao, I’m Eva."

"Oh my God, Yun Jiao, you’re getting more and more beautiful! Your eye and hair color are so gorgeous, and your face is like one of those legendary porcelain dolls..."

This torrent of praise right after seeing her made Yun Jiao feel a little embarrassed.

"You’re too kind, you’re too kind. So it is you, Eva."

’She’d been to the village before. That was when they’d all caught that huge Octopus and eaten it together.’

"Yes, yes, that’s me."

"Um... What’s the situation here?"

’Why are there so many strangers in our house?’

Afterward, Eva followed Yun Jiao, chatting with her in Mandarin that was a bit broken but definitely understandable.

It turned out they had come for the dinosaur fossils.

Most of the people present were from their own country, along with some experts.

There weren’t many foreigners, but Yun Jiao recognized Eva and Daniel.

Barry hadn’t come.

If they wanted to see the fossils, then so be it.

Yun Linhai took them out on his boat.

But once they were on board, one of the foreign men unexpectedly started complaining that their boat was old and small.

Yun Jiao wasn’t about to put up with it, retorting directly in English, "If you don’t like it, you can get off. Go back where you came from."

The man immediately flew into a rage. "What kind of attitude is that? I’m the manager of Company XX! You offend me, and everyone from your country can forget about ever cooperating with my company!"

Yun Xiaoqi shot back a sarcastic retort, also in English. "The manager of Company XX, what a big shot. As far as I know, your company’s market share in its own country isn’t very large. In fact, you’re eyeing our country’s market, hoping to break into it.

"Your company isn’t the only one developing electronic equipment. If we can’t cooperate with you because you’re offended, you’re the ones who lose out. Worst case, we’ll just find new partners. It’s not like you’re irreplaceable. You, on the other hand, should probably think about how you’ll explain losing our country’s market to your boss."

Yun Xiaoqi’s words left the man in an awkward position, unable to save face. He wanted to make a threat, but he knew it was the truth.

He was just used to acting high and mighty in Huaguo. He’d gotten carried away after being fawned over so much and had assumed these kids didn’t know any better, which was why he dared to speak like that. But now, he’d been put on the spot by a boy who looked so young and naive.

Eva chimed in, "Mr. Kedon, if your company no longer wishes to cooperate with Huaguo, my family’s enterprise wouldn’t mind stepping in to take your place."

At this, the man fell completely silent.

Eva winked at Yun Jiao.

With Kedon made an example of, the rest of the group quieted down.

Eva then started talking to Yun Jiao.

"You guys are amazing! Your English is as good as a native speaker’s."

Realizing Yun Jiao and her brothers knew English, Eva switched to speaking English with them directly.

"Your language in Huaguo is so difficult to learn. I’ve been studying for several years, but as you can hear, I’m still not fluent."

"And there are so many phrases I still don’t understand."

Daniel, who was standing nearby, agreed emphatically. His command of the Huaguo language was even worse than Eva’s.

Eva said, "But your country’s culture is truly incredible. It’s hard for me to believe that a country could have an unbroken heritage stretching back several thousand years. It’s just so amazing."

Yun Xiaoqi and his siblings swelled with pride.

As they chatted, the conversation eventually turned to the main reason for the visit.

The dinosaur skeleton.

Eva mentioned that such things had been discovered in her country as well, but almost always on land.

Even fossils of marine creatures were found on land.

"I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in the newspaper. Such a huge and complete dinosaur fossil, and a marine creature at that! Where was it found? The paper said it was pulled out of the sea, but my dad said that was impossible."

"Yun Jiao, was it really pulled out of the ocean?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

Eva believed her without a shred of doubt. "I knew it! You can do anything, Yun Jiao."

Yun Jiao asked, "By the way, how did you know the fossil belonged to my family?"

Eva explained, "My dad found out. He loves studying these big creatures from the past. He was supposed to come this time, but something came up with the family, so he couldn’t make it. As soon as I heard about this place, I thought of you right away. I can’t believe it really was you!"
