Chapter 409 Don't you want to see her make a fool of herself?
"Thank you, Senior Jin."
Having gotten what he wanted, Yao Jianshu nodded his thanks, didn't even glance at Zhao Shucheng, and quickly turned and left.
"Hey, you..."
Zhao Shucheng was somewhat annoyed that Yao Jianshu didn't take him seriously. After seeing that the person had walked away, he snorted coldly, turned around and exchanged a meaningful glance with Senior Jin.
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan frowned, clearly suppressing his anger.
Seeing that the two of them had stopped acting in front of him, he glanced at them coldly and bluntly said, "Petty behavior, utterly useless."
Having said that, he strode out.
Their expressions changed instantly.
Senior Jin watched his retreating figure and spat lightly, "Pah, hypocrite! You're the real culprit, but now you're acting like it has nothing to do with you, and you're even speaking up for a married woman. You're the real villain, a villain who deserves to be talked about behind his back, a villain who's utterly useless!"
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan seemed to have heard his muttering. He paused, turned around and glanced at Senior Jin, who immediately fell silent.
Zhao Shucheng's eyes opened slightly, his breathing slightly labored.
After Deputy Regiment Commander Luan strode away again, Zhao Shucheng finally let out a breath and whispered to Senior Jin, "Senior, we can't afford to offend this kind of person. We should stop talking badly about him behind his back."
"Do I need you to remind me?"
Senior Jin glared at him, grinding his teeth in frustration.
Doesn't he know?
They all want to step on his head and shit on him. Once Yao Jianshu is dealt with, they'll teach this guy surnamed Luan a lesson.
Don't think that just because he has the title of deputy regimental commander, he's afraid of him.
Once he curries favor with Vice Minister Li, gets into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becomes a diplomat, a deputy regimental commander... he might not even have the qualifications to protect him!
Senior Jin didn't give Zhao Shucheng a friendly look. A sinister glint flashed in Zhao Shucheng's eyes, but he quickly regained his smile. "Senior, we're not really going to have to go for a translation interview too, are we?"
"Go, why wouldn't you go?"
Senior Jin sneered, "You think you can get a translation job just by speaking a few words of a foreign language? If your foundation isn't solid enough, she might not even have heard of those technical terms..."
These words caused Zhao Shucheng's expression to change slightly.
"Technical terms?"
Yao Jianshu had never met a single teacher from the city. What if he hadn't met one either? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
"...I'm asking you a question. Don't you want to see Yao Jianshu embarrass himself on the spot because he can't pronounce a word?"
Zhao Shucheng, "..."
Yao Jianshu returned home before evening for the first time. Only Aunt Qiu and Arno, who had two children, were at home. She told them about her situation, and Aunt Qiu told her to go about her business, assuring her that the children would be taken care of without any problems.
Arno patted his chest and assured her that he would protect the two children.
Yao Jianshu thanked him, took a deep breath, and went into the study.
She began to study the videotapes day and night, observing how foreigners spoke, noting down words they used that differed from those in books, and some unusual words.
Sister-in-law Yao visited twice, bringing several professional foreign language books about investment promotion conferences for Yao Jianshu to read.
The sheer volume of vocabulary made Yao Jianshu dizzy.
"You need to write all of this down?"
Sister-in-law Yao laughed, "No need, just get familiar with the faces and know the pronunciation. Don't end up not knowing what the foreign businessmen are saying. Also, you need to prepare two questions. I'll put you in the first round. The questions don't need to be too complicated, but they need to be targeted. First, we'll filter out a group of interviewees whose vocabulary is not up to standard. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear."
Yao Jianshu took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
Sister-in-law Yao patted her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Yao Jianshu looked at Yao Dasao's smiling eyes and smiled too.
She wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was quite excited.
Sister-in-law Yao went to visit her two nephews, while Yao Jianshu immersed himself in his studies, working almost day and night.
Su was called away by his senior, and only made a phone call home to report. Then he didn't go home for a whole week.
The couple were both busy with their own things.
When Su Laoda returned home with a scraggly beard and eyes that looked like they'd been punched twice, he ran into Yao Jianshu, who was wearing light makeup to cover the bruises under her eyes and was on her way to help at the investment promotion conference.
"Brother Guo, what's wrong with you?"
When Yao Jianshu saw his appearance, he was startled and quickly went to help him up.
Su Laoda grinned and shook his head, saying he was fine, but then yawned widely, clearly having worked non-stop for days without a good night's sleep. He quickly called out to Su Laosan, "Quick, help your eldest brother inside to rest. Whatever it is, wait until he wakes up. I'll talk to him slowly after I finish dealing with the investment promotion conference."
Su Laosan sighed and urged Yao Jianshu to hurry up, saying, "Brother, I'll take care of things here."
Boss Su knew about the investment promotion meeting and waved to her.
"Go ahead, I'm fine. I've just been busy and haven't slept well. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Yao Jianshu nodded and walked quickly outside.
As Su Laoda's desire to see his wife waned, he closed his eyes and began to slide down.
Su Laosan sighed and helped Su Laoda up, carrying him back into the house.
I put him on the bed, took off his shoes, and wanted to say a few words to him, to tell him that I had already dealt with Su Hongmei. But before I could even pull the covers up, I heard snoring coming from the head of the bed.
Su Laosan, "..."
He smacked his lips twice and muttered under his breath, "What have you been doing to get so tired?"
He pulled the blanket over Su Laoda, went out the door, and saw Li Banxia, who had followed him out of concern after hearing the noise.
I quickly explained the situation to her.
Li Banxia nodded, "Let your older brother continue sleeping. Aunt Qiu and Arno are at home. You can go about your own business."
Su Laosan nodded and walked past Li Banxia to leave.
He walked a few steps away and then came back, telling Li Banxia what they had talked about while drinking. He had originally planned to find a time to talk to Li Banxia with his older brother.
But he has to go to the countryside in the next few days to discuss with his great-uncle and a few cousins about renting a hilltop to raise chickens, ducks and geese. There are too many things to do, and he estimates he won't be back for three to five days.
I should tell my older brother about this while he's home. When he wakes up and Mom asks, I can hear what he thinks.
"Buying a house, hoping for appreciation?"
Su Laosan nodded, thinking that Li Banxia would be just as excited and eager to try.
As a result, his mother only glanced at him indifferently and said, "I know. You take the money you have. It will come in very handy by the end of the year at the latest. As for the house... we can wait and buy it later."
Su Laosan frowned, puzzled.
He said, "Mom, house prices are changing every day, going up by several or even tens of yuan per square meter. If you buy several courtyards of one or two hundred square meters, the price difference is quite substantial. If you wait any longer, the price might go even higher..."
Li Banxia nodded, then glanced at him again, "I know, if you want to make big money, then keep a tight grip on your wallet and don't make any investments that you won't be able to recoup before the end of the year."
Su Laosan, "..."
Did his mother hear what he was saying?
