Zhen Tian whispered, "The outdoor shower only has cold water. He only showers in my room. Keep your voice down, or he'll hear you."
She listened carefully again, and the sound of water was still coming from the bathroom. Only then did Zhen Tian feel relieved and lean against the headboard to make a phone call to Ye Qingyan.
Just like any other girl, the first thing I wanted to do when something like this happened was to share it with my best friend.
"Wow, you guys are still in the same room~" Ye Qingyan's tone instantly became unserious.
"Qingyan~" Zhen Tian called out to her in a coquettish tone.
"Wow, this is incredible! It's only been a few days, and you guys are moving at a speed that's like you've already set foot on China." Ye Qingyan fiddled with the phone cord. "I just can't bring myself to hit on those blond, blue-eyed guys here. I still prefer domestic ones."
"Huh?"
"What are you saying?"
"It's okay, I thought you'd like foreign guys." Zhen Tian recalled the entire comic, which featured not only blond, blue-eyed young men, but also blond, blue-eyed cute boys, and even some kind of "raising a child" strategy...
Ugh... Just thinking about her gives me the creeps.
"I used to like them, but after being surrounded by these guys, I realized how nice it is for Chinese guys to be a little reserved. These guys here come up to me and ask if I want to hook up. I'd rather not hook up with them than ask them out."
Ye Qingyan would complain for a long time.
Ji Yuzhi came out drying his hair and wrapped in a bath towel. Zhen Tian's thoughts were completely absorbed in him, and she couldn't hear anything Ye Qingyan was saying.
"Qingyan, I'm hanging up now. I'll contact you again in a couple of days." Zhen Tian quickly hung up the phone and grinned foolishly at Ji Yuzhi.
Ye Qingyan stared at the phone that had been hung up, then slammed it down on the receiver: "You damned girl who values romance over friendship."
Ji Yuzhi raised an eyebrow: "Did you do something bad behind my back?"
“How could that be?” Zhen Tian quickly shook her head.
"Why are you smiling so stupidly?" Ji Yuzhi walked over and pinched her cheeks, pulling them left and right.
"Oh dear, you've really ripped my skin off." Zhen Tian waved his hand away.
He chuckled, "I'm going to change my clothes. You think about what to eat tonight."
Oh~~~
Only after Ji Yuzhi left did Zhen Tian breathe a sigh of relief. She tested the waters and it seemed that Zhizhi really hadn't heard Qingyan's shouts. Thank goodness, otherwise it would seem as if she liked it so much.
Zhen Tian blushed.
I still quite like it.
...
"I'll take Zheng An and the others to familiarize themselves with the venue. You can stay at the hotel and rest for a while." Ji Yuzhi carried Zhen Tian's luggage.
They had just checked into a hotel in City B, and Ji Yuzhi needed to meet with the person in charge first, as it wouldn't be convenient to bring Zhen Tian along.
"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work."
Zhen Tian consciously lay down on the bed; she was too sleepy to sleep. She'd been working herself to the bone these past few days rushing to finish her artwork.
Since this wasn't their first collaboration, Ji Yuzhi was already quite familiar with the person in charge of the meeting. After a brief exchange to understand the general situation, he introduced Zheng An and Zhao Zeyuan to the person in charge.
"These two are excellent translators in my studio, and I believe that this time we will have a perfect start and a perfect finish."
“You’re right, there’s definitely no problem.” The other party was very approving of Ji Yuzhi: “I have a friend who’s in charge of a very large international conference. It’s currently being prepared, and I was thinking that if you’re okay with it, I could introduce you. Attending more of these large conferences will be very helpful for gaining experience.”
"If you're willing, then of course I have no problem with that. Thank you in advance..."
After shaking hands, Ji Yuzhi led the two away.
"What kind of large-scale conference is it? How large can it be?" Zheng An asked curiously as soon as he got into the car.
"Based on the time and wording provided by the other party, it's probably the World Economic and Environmental Conference in the first half of next year," Ji Yuzhi said, scrolling through his phone in the passenger seat.
"Wow, it's huge!" Zheng An exclaimed, his mouth agape.
"If we can really attend this meeting, it will be incredibly beneficial for our studio's publicity," Feng Li said.
“So,” Ji Yuzhi looked up and glanced at everyone in the rearview mirror, “you’ll all have to continue working hard for the next six months.”
"I'll endure the hardship to be able to attend this kind of meeting," Zheng An said excitedly, as if he could become famous overnight through this meeting tomorrow.
"In a little while, Feng Li will be meeting with an editor from a publishing house whom I used to know. This time, there should be several Japanese professional books to be translated."
"Don't worry. No problem."
They've made rapid progress over the past few years thanks to Ji Yuzhi's rigorous training, both big and small. Translating books is the least of their worries.
After getting off the bus, Ji Yuzhi had a brief conversation with the editor and Feng Li before leaving.
"I have something to do. You guys go back to your hotel after this."
Where are you going?
Ji Yuzhi didn't answer, but only glanced at Zheng An.
Zheng An fell silent, tracing a line to his lips with his finger to indicate that he should shut up.
However, everyone's gazes unanimously fell on the bulging pockets of Ji Yuzhi's suit.
After he left, the group looked at each other. Zheng An raised an eyebrow: "Looks like the boss thought he kept it a secret very well."
"Shut up." Zhao Zeyuan shoved him.
"Don't you know that the more you say, the more mistakes you make? If you expose this to Yu Zhi, you're as good as dead." Feng Li said with a smile.
"Alright, alright."
...
The preparations before the meeting were tedious and exhausting. Even Feng Li, who wasn't attending this time, was completely worn out by the end of the meeting.
The three grown men leaned on each other as they returned to their hotel room.
This time, Ji Yuzhi didn't stay with Zhen Tian; he just stayed next door.
"You should go back and rest. You've all worked so hard these past few days." Zhen Tian had seen their work, and besides dealing with things at the venue, Zhizhi had other things to do. Although she didn't know what they were, she could see his tension and seriousness. It was probably something very serious.
"Okay, you should go to bed early too. I'll call you for breakfast tomorrow."
Ji Yuzhi patted her head.
"Okay, go and get some rest."
"We're taking a break too." Everyone had been peeking, but scattered after Ji Yuzhi discovered them.
The silent corridor was now empty except for Ji Yuzhi, who stood there with his hands at his sides, his body unusually tense.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Only then did he enter the room.
The next morning.
Ji Yuzhi took a shower and stood in front of the mirror, drying his hair.
He fiddled with his hair, then took out a glass bottle of hairspray from his suitcase and sprayed it on.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the shirt and trousers that Tian Tian had previously picked out for him from the closet and tied his tie.
Ji Yuzhi stood in front of the full-length mirror next to the hotel room door, examining himself.
Just before leaving the house, my gaze lingered for a moment outside the window.
"Ta-da!"
"Here you are."
Zhen Tian's voice came from inside the door.
Good morning, Zhizhi.
"Why didn't you ask who it was before opening the door?"
