Chapter 231 No Longer a Fool
After coming out of Lu Qing's office, Lin Anan had to go to the Logistics and Finance Department first to settle the manuscript fee.
Not much, just two hundred yuan~
I also have to go to the Ministry of Literature and Art to explain the key points of the translation to Minister He Min.
"Du Juan, when you go back, just focus on rehearsing. If they dare to cause trouble for you again, don't bear it yourself. Go directly to the instructor and don't worry about losing face. OK?"
Du Juan nodded vigorously, "Sister An An, I'll remember it, don't worry."
"You should work hard and try to shine in the performance at the border area, so that everyone can see your strength."
"yes!"
Looking at Du Juan's departing back, Lin Anan turned and left.
With the receipt issued by Lu Qing, the money was paid promptly.
When they arrived at the Art and Literature Department, He Min had something else to do and motioned to Lin Anan to wait.
Lin Anan sat down and waited for a while.
Pan Guoyang happened to pass by, and seeing that it was Lin Anan, he hurried over to say hello, "Anan, how come you have time to come here today?"
"I just translated a Russian stage play and came here to submit it."
Pan Guoyang's eyes lit up. "A Russian-language stage play? This is really rare. It's probably prepared for the border sentinels."
Talking about this frontier outpost, Pan Guoyang became more talkative.
But the more he talked, the more Lin Anan felt something was wrong.
"You mean, you're going to the Gobi Oasis Development Zone?"
“Yes, it’s not easy for the comrades over there. The conditions are the most difficult in the northwest. It’s an honor for us to perform for them.
On the contrary, this performance is very important to our group and it is a rare opportunity! Zi Huai will also go and was appointed as the main performer. "
Lin Anan: “…”
Lin Anan's heart skipped a beat.
Is the gear of fate so tough?
Jiang Tong is right there. What should Lin Zihuai do if he gets lovesick again?
He Min came over after finishing her work, politely took the manuscript and flipped through it, "Comrade Lin, your translation is amazing! Whether it's the fluency of the sentences or the restoration of the original mood, it's perfect. If this is put on stage, it will definitely achieve unexpected results."
"Minister He, thank you for your praise. I am just doing my best and hope I can be of help."
Lin Anan forced a smile to respond to He Min, but her mind was not on the compliment at all. Her mind was full of Lin Zihuai's trip to the Gobi Oasis Development Zone, and what would happen if he met Jiang Tong.
She calmed herself down and decided to finish explaining everything first.
"Minister He, I found a few problems while translating. Here...here...and here. I need to explain them to you so that the subsequent rehearsals can go more smoothly."
He Min nodded repeatedly and listened attentively to Lin Anan's explanation.
As Lin Anan spoke, she was calculating rapidly in her mind.
After finishing the main point, she asked casually: "Minister He, I heard that the conditions for performing at the border sentry post this time are quite difficult. What preparations has our troupe made?"
He Min did not hide it. It was just an ordinary preparation for going out, so she smiled and talked about the personnel ratio, supplies, itinerary arrangements and other matters.
Lin Anan listened, interjected from time to time, and calmly led the topic to personnel arrangements.
Finally, she pretended to mention it casually: "I'm really a little worried that Zihuai won't be able to adapt. He has never been to such a difficult place before."
He Min smiled and comforted him, "Comrade Lin, don't worry, Lin Zihuai has great potential, and the group will take good care of him. He is also very motivated and actively strives to participate."
Lin Anan frowned slightly, becoming more worried.
Pan Guoyang noticed something was wrong with her and thought she was worried about her brother suffering. "An An, don't worry too much. Zi Huai is much more mature now and can take care of himself."
Lin Anan shook her head gently, not knowing how to explain it. She just thought about going to find Lin Zihuai to have a good talk with him later, and if it didn't work out, she wouldn't go.
If you have to go, you should get some vaccinations in advance.
After explaining the manuscript-related matters to He Min, Lin Anan left the Art Department and waited in the art troupe with Pan Guoyang for Lin Zihuai to finish rehearsal.
Lin Anan's brain was racing, thinking about how to talk to Lin Zihuai in a way that would not dampen his enthusiasm but would also alert him and keep him away from a life of bootlicking.
"sister!"
After waiting for a long time for Lin Zihuai to finish, Lin Anan took him to a quiet corner.
Lin Zihuai looked confused.
Lin Anan handed over the clothes she made for him and said, "I made two cotton and linen shirts for you. Keep them."
Lin Zihuai happily took the clothes, unfolded them and took a look, "Sister, this dress looks comfortable! Sister is still the best, always thinking of me."
His face was filled with an innocent smile, like a child who had received a beloved gift.
Seeing his expression, Lin Anan sighed softly, "Zihuai, I have something to tell you. Your performance at the Gobi Oasis Development Zone this time is a great opportunity. I am really happy for you.
But, Jiang Tong is also there…” She paused slightly, observing Lin Zihuai’s expression carefully.
A complex emotion flashed across Lin Zihuai's eyes for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, "Sister, I know what you're worried about, but I've really let it go.
Let the past be the past. This performance is very important to me. I just want to concentrate on doing it well and let everyone see my growth. "
Lin Anan looked into his eyes, trying to find any hesitation or wavering in them, but there was none.
She felt a little relieved, but still couldn't help but remind him: "Zihuai, I believe you, but the conditions over there are difficult and people are easily impetuous. If you run into her, you must not lose your composure.
You have to remember that your talent and your dreams are all on this stage, and you can’t let unworthy people hold you back.”
"Sister, don't worry! After all these things, I have figured it out a long time ago. I won't be as stupid as before. This time I will go all out and give the best performance."
"Okay, I have confidence in you! Just work hard and let those who look down on you see that you, Lin Zihuai, are not just an emotional person."
The corners of Lin Zihuai's mouth twitched noticeably.
Seeing that he had really matured a lot, Lin Anan smiled and said, "I should go back soon. You go and do your work. If you encounter any problems, feel free to tell me."
Lin Zihuai took the clothes, stood up and insisted on seeing her off.
It was almost time for lunch. Seeing that he wanted to go back to eat, Lin Anan did not stop him. She even went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables.
After what happened last night, Chu Mingyu's stomach was still weak, so Lin Anan specially cooked porridge for him and herself, and also fried a few refreshing side dishes.
The Chu brothers and sisters haven't come back yet, so Lin Zihuai is busy helping out.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Anan finally spoke, "Zihuai... I once had a dream."
Perhaps because the bond with this person from another world was growing deeper and deeper, Lin Anan found that her heart was becoming softer and softer.
To her, they are not paper people, but real relatives who exist around her.
I really hope they are all doing well.
"What?"
Lin Zihuai was pouring rice into the wooden barrel and looked at her suspiciously.
