Chapter 220: A Money-Making Opportunity You Can't Miss

At this time, Hao Sanmei, who had been sitting quietly at the side, suddenly spoke up: "Let me give it a try."

"You?" The middle-aged man was stunned and looked Hao Sanmei up and down. Seeing that she was dressed simply, he knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Seeing that everyone at Hao Sanmei's table looked like a scholar, he immediately said: "That's great."

Hao Sanmei walked to the table, smiled politely at the foreigner, and asked in fluent standard English: "Excuse me, may I know what's the problem?"

When she spoke, everyone was stunned, especially the middle-aged man, whose eyes were as big as copper bells and his mouth was wide open for a long time.

Several foreigners were also surprised to hear Hao Sanmei's fluent English, and began to explain the terms of the contract to her in English.

Hao Sanmei listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and occasionally asked some questions to help both parties better understand each other's meaning.

When she translated, there was no pause or hesitation, every word was accurate, and every sentence was smooth and natural.

The translator who was invited before was now blushing with shame.

The middle-aged man looked at Hao Sanmei with surprise and gratitude in his eyes. He didn't expect that this little girl had such a good level of English.

After Hao Sanmei's translation, the two parties quickly eliminated the misunderstanding and smoothly reached a cooperation intention.

"Thank you so much, little girl, you really helped us a lot." The middle-aged man shook Hao Sanmei's hand excitedly and thanked her repeatedly.

"It's just a small favor, you're welcome." Hao Sanmei smiled faintly.

"No, no, I must thank you very much, how about this, I'll give you fifty yuan as a reward, don't think it's too little." The middle-aged man said, and was about to take money out of his pocket.

"No, I really don't want to..." Hao Sanmei waved her hand and refused.

"How can I be so embarrassed? You helped us so much, how can I not accept money?" The middle-aged man insisted on giving it.

Hao Sanmei stopped refusing and accepted the fifty yuan.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet?" the middle-aged man asked.

"My name is Hao Sanmei."

"Hao Sanmei, my name is Wang Qiang, this is my business card, I don't know if you are free in the next two days, I would like to ask you to continue to help translate. I can pay you 200 yuan a day." Wang Qiang enthusiastically handed Hao Sanmei a business card.

"This..." Hao Sanmei took the fifty yuan and was a little embarrassed, "I have to ask my friends."

"Yes, yes, little girl, you discuss it with your friends." Wang Qiang said hurriedly.

Hao Sanmei took the money and returned to her seat, and told Li Wenxi and the others about the matter.

"Two hundred yuan a day? My God, so much. Then you must go. Only a fool would not go." Chen Hongjun exclaimed. "

But... didn't we agree to travel together? Would it be bad for me to do this?" Hao Sanmei hesitated.

"What's wrong with this? There are not many opportunities to make money. Besides, you can also use the evening time to play with us." Zhang Shulan said.

"That's right, Sanmei, just go boldly, we support you." Li Wenxi also encouraged. "

But..." Hao Sanmei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Wenxi.

"Don't say but, it's settled, such a good opportunity to make money can't be missed." Li Wenxi said, and winked at Hao Sanmei mischievously. This is Sanmei's first time to travel, and she spent a lot of money. It is estimated that she will work hard as a tutor to make money when she returns to school. But if she can make such a large sum of money in two days, Sanmei will be able to relax in the future.

Hao Sanmei was enthusiastically encouraged by her friends, and her worries gradually dissipated.

"Great." Wang Qiang was so happy to see Hao Sanmei agreed that he couldn't stop smiling.

"However, we have another request." Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan discussed it for a while, and then walked over and spoke.

"You say." Wang Qiang said quickly.

"Can you set your work location for the next two days in this hotel? After all, she is a girl, and we are not sure about her." Li Wenxi said in a serious tone.

The public security in Guangzhou was not very good at that time.

Wang Qiang thought about it and smiled, "That's no problem. It just so happens that these foreigners like this hotel."

On the way back to the hotel, everyone was praising Hao Sanmei.

"I'll treat you tomorrow night. You can order whatever you want." Hao Sanmei said generously.

"Great, long live Sanmei. There's meat to eat with you." Chen Hongjun cheered.

Everyone laughed and talked for a while.

Li Wenxi suddenly said to them: "You guys go out and have fun tomorrow, I'm going to look for my brother."

"Your brother? You have another brother?" Hao Sanmei and the others asked in surprise.

"Why didn't you tell me you had another brother?" Chen Hongjun also asked.

Han Yi also looked at Li Wenxi in surprise. Only Zhang Shulan was relatively calm.

Li Wenxi was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "In fact, my life experience is more complicated. When I was just born, I was taken away by my adoptive mother by mistake, and I was taken home by my biological father when I was fourteen years old. Before that, I grew up with my brother Xia Zhiyuan. My adoptive parents died early..."

As Li Wenxi spoke, everyone fell silent, with shock and sympathy written on their faces. Especially Han Yi, he always thought he already understood Li Wenxi, but he didn't expect that there was such a heavy story behind her.

Li Wenxi raised her head, smiled slightly, and continued: "My brother has been working in a shoe factory in Guangzhou, and I just want to take this opportunity to go see him."

Han Yi immediately said: "The factory is a mixed bag. It's not safe for you to go there alone, a girl. I'll go with you."

Li Wenxi didn't want to trouble others, "I can do it alone. It's not good to waste your day's time for sightseeing."

Han Yi insisted: "Your safety is the most important."

Zhang Shulan also advised: "Yes, let Han Yi accompany you. Even if you know martial arts, it's not safe for you to go there alone."

Li Wenxi thought about it and said to Han Yi: "Then I'll trouble you tomorrow."

The next morning, Li Wenxi and Han Yi said goodbye to the others, and went to the shoe factory in the suburbs with Han Yi.

Li Wenxi had called Xia Zhiyuan yesterday, but the person who answered the phone said that Xia Zhiyuan was not there. Li Wenxi heard the other party's bad tone and guessed that this person had a bad relationship with her brother, so she didn't say anything else. She went directly to the address written by Xia Zhiyuan in the letter.

For so many years, Xia Zhiyuan has been working in this shoe factory. He originally wanted stability and was timid. He was forced to come to Guangzhou to work by his aunt. She said that a man from the next village came to Guangzhou to work, made a lot of money, and built a two-story house when he returned home. So she forced Xia Zhiyuan to come to Guangzhou with another boy from the village.

Before, he obediently sent the money he earned from working every year to Wang Juhua's family, just to let his aunt's family take good care of Li Wenxi, but all the money was wasted. Later ,

every time Li Wenxi wrote to Xia Zhiyuan, he would remind him not to send money to his uncle's family and let him keep it for himself.
