Yao Tongjia and the other two slept soundly for a whole day, finally adjusting to the time difference. The next day, they went to inquire about the location of the competition, and luckily it was nearby.
The fighter jet exhibition that He Jiayin was going to attend was not far from here, so they could continue to live together.
This time, the couple shared a room, while Yao Yanxin stayed next door with two bodyguards. Ah Xue and Qin Sang complied with Ruan Shengpeng's request.
Even last night, in my own embassy, I didn't dare to relax. In fact, I discussed it with the bodyguards and arranged a shift so we could take turns on duty.
Qin Sang was worried that they wouldn't be in sync, so she ultimately refused. Anyway, there were two of them, so they could take turns. In the past, when they went out on missions, they were sometimes isolated and helpless!
Yao Tongjia dressed herself and her mother up, then took Qin Sang and A Xue out. Xiao Gengwu originally wanted to go out with the women.
Yao Tongjia knew they were going to have a meeting: "Sister Yin said you were going to have a meeting. We only need Qin Sang to accompany us, so it's fine!"
Xiao Gengwu could only watch Yao Tongjia walk away. He Jiayin patted Xiao Gengwu on the shoulder and said, "It's just a short separation, do you have to be so reluctant?"
Xiao Gengwu's eyes were still fixed on the people walking ahead: "Isn't yours the same?"
He Jiayin was speechless. In fact, Jun Nanzhu was even more persistent than Xiao Gengwu, but he had restrained himself because of their professions!
The competition was held at a hotel. When Yao Tongjia and Yao Yanxin came down, they saw several people being stopped outside.
Yao Yanxin asked nervously, "Are we alright dressed like this?"
“I asked Wu Xinyue before, and she specifically called people in Gangcheng and said that as long as you’re not wearing slippers, you can go in if you’re only wearing underwear!”
"Look at those people who were just rejected, they were all wearing slippers!"
The weather here is quite similar to that in China. Wearing a long-sleeved dress is suitable right now; it's not too cold or too hot!
Yao Yanxin looked at her clothes. This time, she was wearing a long-sleeved dress of her own design and heeled leather shoes, which were a gift from Wu Xinyue.
Yao Tongjia wore jeans, white sneakers, a shirt, and a long sweater over it today, which looked very fashionable.
Qin Sang and A Xue were dressed in casual clothes and cloth shoes. Yao Yanxin couldn't help but feel relieved: "Luckily you asked Wu Xinyue, otherwise we wouldn't even have been allowed to go in!"
Yao Tongjia pulled her mother inside, saying, "No matter what, we would never cross the ocean in slippers!"
This made everyone laugh. The four of them walked over, and the gatekeeper just glanced at them before letting them in. It was Yao Yanxin's first time in such a setting, and her heart was pounding.
The main reason I'm here is to submit the registration form. After the preliminary round, the semi-finals require me to be present in person to submit the registration form. The competition starts tomorrow!
Yao Tongjia translated Yao Yanxin's application form into English. The person who collected the forms was a fashionable woman in her forties or fifties, who sometimes muttered a few suspicious words to Yao Yanxin.
Yao Tongjia quickly translated: "Mom, she's questioning your age. She thinks you look only in your twenties, not nearly fifty as the information says."
Yao Tongjia quickly stepped in to answer, "This is my mother, and I am her daughter!"
The person collecting the forms was even more surprised: "You two look like sisters, how could you be mother and daughter?"
Finally, Yao Tongjia had to take out their household registration booklet and point out their age on it. With the help of another translator, they were finally able to register successfully.
Yao Yanxin laughed: "This is the first time someone has complimented me on how young I am, and I find it so troublesome!"
This made everyone laugh. With a competition tomorrow, Yao Yanxin wasn't in the mood to stroll around outside. She had to draw a design on the spot and then cut and make the clothes herself.
Finally, the models will wear the clothes and the judges will score them. This competition lasts quite a long time; we need to come early tomorrow morning, and it probably won't end until tonight!
Each event has a time limit. This is Yao Yanxin's first time participating in a competition live. She is afraid that she will be nervous and lose her composure, so she decided to go back and practice.
As Yao Yanxin's assistant, Yao Tongjia can help with odd jobs tomorrow, but she cannot help with drawing, cutting, or making clothes.
When they returned to the embassy, Xiao Gengwu and the others had just finished their meeting and were coming out. He Jiayin pulled Yao Tongjia to her room. The fighter jet exhibition was scheduled to start the day after tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, Yao Tongjia could accompany everyone. Both Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu have good English skills and can act as translators for the others.
They only brought two translators with them this time, plus two more provided by the embassy, but their group still numbered at least 10.
He Jiayin herself didn't need a translator, but several of the older women had no English foundation at all and almost needed a translator to follow along.
Yao Tongjia didn't come to the meeting, so I could only talk to her privately: "Tomorrow you'll be with Professor Chen; he doesn't understand any English!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "I understand. But are there any requirements for our clothing?"
"There are no requirements for clothing, just be neat and presentable. I also brought some small jewelry with me this time. I think the white shirt you're wearing today is quite nice!"
"It's just a bit plain. I'll add this brooch of mine to brighten things up!" But when He Jiayin put it on Yao Tongjia, she felt something was off.
Yao Tongjia took the brooch off and pinned it to He Jiayin's clothes: "It suits you better to wear it. I have other things to wear. When you go the day after tomorrow, Sister Yin, please prepare some more valuable little things."
He Jiayin was momentarily speechless: "Why?" After asking, He Jiayin realized what was going on and immediately understood that this was a good thing!
Apart from He Jiayin and Yao Tongjia, the only other woman in their group was men. It's not appropriate for men to wear jewelry, so it seems they really need to wear more accessories the day after tomorrow.
Can we get insider information at a lower price? These little trinkets are our only chance!
After finishing their conversation, He Jiayin inquired about the clothing design: "Is everything alright on your end?"
Yao Tongjia sat down: "Yes! They think I look no different from my mother, and that my mother is only in her twenties!"
"No way? Are those foreigners blind?" Aunt Yao looks relatively young, but she couldn't possibly be in her early twenties.
Yao Tongjia looked at He Jiayin and said, "If you keep staying up late like this, you'll probably look just like my mother in the future!"
He Jiayin let out a wail and threw herself at Yao Tongjia's side: "Ugh! There's so much to do, where's the time to rest?!"
