"Kids this young, it's really not easy for them."
Ni Cuihua waved at the security guard and continued, "You can head over first."
The security guard looked troubled and said, "Factory director, she really is a scammer! Don't let her fool you!"
"Don't worry, she's not a scammer."
The security guard wanted to say more, but since Ni Cuihua was the director, saying too much wouldn't be appropriate.
"Thank you for believing that I'm not a scammer!" The young girl bowed to Ni Cuihua and then said, "Factory Director Ni, my last name is also Ni, and my name is Ni Qingzhu — 'Qing' as in 'green,' and 'zhu' as in 'bamboo.'
Her name originated from a line of ancient poetry.
"Hold steadfast to the green mountains, roots planted deep in rocky ground."
She hoped that she could embody the spirit of bamboo — resilient, upright, elegant on the outside, and tranquil within.
