At the end of the semester, the Foreign Languages Department organized an activity to participate in the translation of the exhibition.
Jiang Manyue and her classmates are freshmen and are not qualified to participate. All those who can take on the translation work are teachers majoring in foreign languages.
But because this event is very rare, the department leaders asked each major to pick out a few students with good performance and go to the exhibition together, just as if they were going out for study and sightseeing.
Five people were selected from the English major, including Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana.
The reason for choosing them is simple. They have participated in English stage plays before and their oral skills and basic skills are indeed excellent, making them very suitable to participate in this exhibition.
Although I cannot serve as a translator, at least my spoken English must be good enough. Otherwise, if a foreigner asks for directions or something like that, I won’t be able to answer and it will be embarrassing for the school.
Roommates He Hui and Wei Tingting were also selected to participate in the event. Guo Aiju and Zhang Yingjie were not selected, but they were not particularly disappointed. After all, their spoken English was indeed worse than that of other students.
When Jiang Manyue returned home that day, she told her whole family that she had been selected to participate in the exhibition.
The exhibition is in Beijing, but it is a bit far from the school. Moreover, the exhibition lasts for three days, so teachers and students who go to the exhibition have to stay in a guesthouse near the exhibition for two nights.
Jiang Manyue also has to live in the guesthouse with other teachers and students, and will not be able to go home for three days.
Li Guifen asked curiously, "What kind of exhibition is this? They're even inviting you college students to visit and learn?"
Lu Lin's military region was responsible for the security of this exhibition. Coincidentally, he was also one of the leaders of this security mission, so he explained it casually.
"Some foreigners came to our place and held an exhibition. They probably wanted to investigate the trade situation and do business with us."
"You knew that? This exhibition even alarmed the Jing City Military District?"
Jiang Manyue thought that this exhibition was only related to business and trade, and the security would not be so strict. She did not expect that the Beijing Military Region would be responsible for security work.
"It's the first time, with so many foreign friends coming here, and the higher-ups said we have to do a good job of protecting it, and not allow any accidents to happen."
Jiang Manyue thought about it and agreed. It was a rare opportunity to develop foreign trade, so she had to pay more attention to it.
"So, are you also going to be on duty at the venue? Can I see you?"
Jiang Manyue imagined that Lu Lin might be wearing a military uniform, standing upright at the exhibition site, and might even have to stand guard with a weapon. The thought of it made him look so handsome.
Lu Lin was amused by her. "What are you thinking? Your husband is the deputy brigade commander. Which deputy brigade commander would personally stand guard?"
Jiang Manyue was instantly disappointed. She really wanted to see Lu Lin standing guard. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and he would definitely look good standing there.
"I just need to take charge. Standing guard is the job of new recruits."
Jiang Manyue thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Lu Lin was already the deputy brigade commander. He shouldn't need to personally participate in activities of this level, right?
"I've heard that several universities with foreign majors are sending people to do the translation for this event. I thought, just in case you can go, I might as well take the job. It's in Beijing anyway, so it's not dangerous. Even if you don't go, I'll just treat it as a chance to see the world."
Jiang Manyue was inexplicably attracted by him, her heart felt sweet, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
But the next second Lu Lin leaned close to her ear and asked her if there would be a reward for doing this, but was pushed away by Jiang Manyue.
Lu Lin was not disappointed. After a round of sweet talk in the evening, he finally had a sumptuous meal.

A few days later, Jiang Manyue and several classmates took the school-arranged car to the venue.
Cheng Nana and Jiang Manyue sat together and rolled their eyes at Zhou Xue who was sitting in the front row.
Jiang Manyue was quite surprised to see Zhou Xue. She was not on the list of selected people, so why was she here?
Because yesterday was Sunday, Jiang Manyue did not come to school on her day off, so Cheng Nana told her what happened yesterday.
"I don't know what happened yesterday, but Tang Yuying suddenly fell ill. She had vomiting and diarrhea, and a rash all over her body. It looked scary, so she was rushed to the hospital. She was so sick that she definitely wouldn't recover in a day, so the counselor said they should pick someone to replace her, and in the end they chose Zhou Xue."
Jiang Manyue always felt something was strange. How could she suddenly get sick when she was perfectly fine, and the illness was quite serious.
Cheng Nana didn't think too much about it. She just glanced at Zhou Xue with dissatisfaction, "I don't know why they chose her. Shao Weimin is obviously better at speaking than her. Why didn't they choose Shao Weimin?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "The teacher must have her reasons for choosing. Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter who comes. We just need to take care of ourselves."
Cheng Nana hugged Jiang Manyue's arm and said, "Let's stay away from her anyway. I don't like her."
Jiang Manyue laughed, "Is it because of that time when she asked me about my lover?"
Cheng Nana shook her head. "Yes and no, I just feel that Zhou Xue is someone you can't get along with. It's just that kind of intuition, you know, it just feels bad. Plus, she asked you about your lover, which makes me feel even worse."
Jiang Manyue believes in intuition, and Cheng Nana is a very simple and straightforward person, so her intuition may be more accurate.
Since Cheng Nana said so, Jiang Manyue herself didn't have any good feelings towards Zhou Xue, so she decided to stay away from her and have no contact with her.
When they arrived at the exhibition, each professional counselor reminded their students that they must not leave the group without permission, and they must report to the teacher if they want to go to the restroom. It is best to go in pairs to avoid accidents.
