Sister Lin was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Jiang Yue didn't know what she did, but she looked very kind. When she came in, she smiled at her in a friendly manner and helped her find a bed.
Hearing Jiang Yue's request, Sister Lin agreed immediately.
Jiang Yue moved to the opposite side and immediately felt that the air was flowing a lot more.
She didn't want to sit there doing nothing after a twenty-plus hour drive, so she leaned back on the lower bunk and took out a book to read.
"Jiang Yue, what book are you reading?" Sister Lin leaned over.
"Just take a look!" Jiang Yue showed the title of the book to Sister Lin. It was "Anna Karenina", and she had already read half of it.
"Oh! We in the English department all read books in English. We are not like some people who just graduated from high school and have the nerve to say that they can be translators! So pretentious!" Zheng Ling said sarcastically from the upper bunk.
Jiang Yue picked her ears and said, "You can't bring dogs on the train, right? Why do I keep hearing dogs barking?"
Zheng Ling was so angry that she was about to explode. She slapped the bed and yelled, "Jiang Yue, who are you calling a dog?"
"Whoever shouts the loudest gets to curse!" Jiang Yue didn't even look at Zheng Ling.
"President Zhuang, is this the quality of the people you brought with you?" Zheng Ling was so angry at Jiang Yue's attitude that she almost choked to death. She immediately went to President Zhuang to seek justice.
"If you had any manners you would have shouted so loudly!" Jiang Yue sneered.
President Zhuang glanced at Jiang Yue, and she realized that Jiang Yue was unwilling to suffer any loss. This was normal. She was a caring family member, and who would dare to make her angry?
Zheng Ling is just a niece of President Zheng. She usually looks down on everyone in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Enough! Zheng Ling, what's wrong with you? Jiang Yue is your junior, how come you don't have the magnanimity to tolerate others!" President Zhuang naturally couldn't scold Jiang Yue. Besides, it was Zheng Ling who started the fight. Jiang Yue was just reading a book, but she had to say that she was pretending. No one could tolerate that.
"I don't have tolerance?" Zheng Ling didn't expect President Zhuang to say that to her. Her face turned green with anger. She was President Zheng's niece. Everyone in the delegation looked up to her. President Zhuang was usually very tolerant of her. Why did President Zhuang scold her several times when this girl named Jiang Yue came today?
"Okay, Zheng Ling, didn't you say you didn't have enough for lunch? Let's go to the dining car and see if there's anything delicious!" The woman on the other lower bunk came over and called Zheng Ling out. She looked to be in her twenties, wearing a beige shirt and blue pants, and had a pretty face.
Jiang Yue knew that her name was Chen Shuang, and that she and Zheng Ling were both translators.
"I'm not going! I'll stay here!" Zheng Ling got angry and refused to give up her seat to Jiang Yue!
"Sister Lin, are you free? How about we go to the dining car to buy some food together?" Jiang Yue closed the book, put it on the bed, stood up and said to Sister Lin with a smile.
"Okay!" Sister Lin agreed immediately.
"President Zhuang, do you want to eat anything? If I see it, I'll buy it for you!" Jiang Yue turned around and asked President Zhuang.
"I can do anything!" President Zhuang said with a smile.
Jiang Yue and Sister Lin left the carriage together. Chen Shuang asked Chairman Zhuang curiously, "Chairman, why haven't you mentioned this comrade Jiang Yue before?"
President Zhuang was taking off his glasses when he heard this and said calmly, "Don't ask about her. You can't afford to offend her!"
Zheng Ling sneered when she heard this, and Chen Shuang pulled Zheng Ling to stop her from confronting President Zhuang.
Jiang Yue went to the dining car for a walk and came back with her arms full of things. Not only her, but Sister Lin also had a lot in her hands.
"President Zhuang, take a look and see if there is anything you like to eat!" Jiang Yue put everything on the table.
"Buy so many!" President Zhuang looked at the table full of snacks, including osmanthus cake, glutinous rice cake, sesame cake, and orange soda, and immediately sat up from his bunk.
"I didn't buy it. I met some male comrades from the delegation. They said they wanted to treat us female comrades to a meal. I wanted to give them money, but they refused to accept it!" Jiang Yue said as she opened a box of sesame cakes.
President Zhuang looked at Sister Lin and saw her nodding, "Yes, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhou are too enthusiastic, we have to refuse them!"
After Jiang Yue came back, she found that the other upper bunks were also occupied. There were 63 people in the Shanghai delegation this time, including more than a dozen women, and they occupied two carriages.
Jiang Yue asked Sister Lin when she went out just now. It’s true that real people don’t show their identities. I didn’t expect that Sister Lin is actually the director of the Shanghai Electric Motor Factory.
Zheng Ling was lying on the upper bunk. She didn't react when Jiang Yue came in. But when she heard Sister Lin mention Xiao Li and Xiao Zhou, she got out of bed and went out.
Then Jiang Yue heard a lady named Bai say, "Old Lin, you are really bringing up something irrelevant. Zheng Ling is dating Zhou Yuan, why did you mention Zhou Yuan's name?"
Sister Lin smiled and said, "Zhou Yuan told me that they don't have a partner and that he is single!"
Jiang Yue had no interest in the affairs between men and women in the Shanghai delegation. She opened all the snacks and invited everyone in the carriage to eat.
Zheng Ling came back after a long time. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She glared at Jiang Yue as soon as she came in, but Jiang Yue was reading a book and didn't even raise his head.
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time. President Zhuang said that some people had to stay in the carriage, so they had to eat in batches. President Zhuang and Accountant Bai stayed behind, while the others went to eat first.
Jiang Yue and Sister Lin had a very pleasant conversation, naturally Jiang Yue was with Sister Lin. When they entered the dining car, there were already quite a few people there.
Nowadays, many people bring their own dry food when taking a train, as they are reluctant to spend money to buy meals on the train. Those who can afford to do so are not short of money, or their business trip units can reimburse them.
It was October and the weather was cooler. Jiang Yue walked in and saw that everyone was wearing blue or gray coats. She was the only colorful person blending into the blue-gray ocean.
Jiang Yue was wearing an open-cardigan cashmere sweater bought at the Friendship Store. Gu Ye had brought her there. This sweater cost 160 RMB, and also required foreign exchange coupons.
The clothes were also chosen by Gu Ye. She fell in love with them the moment she put them on. The bright red color made her skin look white and bright, and she looked radiant and stunning.
As soon as Jiang Yue entered the dining car, she became the focus. When a group of unmarried young men from the Shanghai delegation saw her coming, they all looked at her enthusiastically, hoping that she would sit next to them.
"Sister Lin, let's sit here!" Jiang Yue bought two meals. The meals were just prepared and still hot. They were packed in aluminum lunch boxes, and each cost thirty cents.
Sister Lin wanted to give Jiang Yue money, but Jiang Yue waved her hand and said, "Sister, don't be polite to me. I'll treat you to this meal!"
Jiang Yue took out a thermos from her bag and poured some hot water back, and also poured some water for Sister Lin.
When Sister Lin saw that the cup in Jiang Yue's hand was different from the thermos cup they used, but a new style with a pop-up mouth and a stylish and beautiful shape, her eyes suddenly fixed. She was very familiar with this cup. It was a foreign import and only sold in the Friendship Store.
Last year, she used her connections to get foreign exchange coupons to buy one for her daughter, and it wasn’t cheap.
Jiang Yue actually has this kind of thermos cup!
Sister Lin looked at the cashmere sweater Jiang Yue was wearing again, and she was sure that it was also imported.
She is so young and beautiful, and everything she wears and holds in her hands are imported goods. She can even walk with President Zhuang. What is the identity of this girl?
