When Gong Huanzhi heard her ask this, he didn't hide anything and said, "As you know, our department deals with foreign businesses a lot. We just had a contract signed recently, but the staff member in charge of English translation fell ill, and we haven't found a suitable replacement yet."
"What a coincidence! If you trust me, I can help you with this. How about you call Cheng to confirm?"
Gong Huanzhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Comrade An, thank you so much! It's just that there are many professional business terms involved, which I don't know..."
An Moxue smiled and replied, "No problem."
Then, she took out the two bottles of white wine that she had prepared beforehand from her backpack and placed them on the table. "This was specially prepared for you by Cheng. He said that among all of your childhood friends, you are the one who likes to drink white wine the most."
Gong Huanzhi smiled and put away the wine, saying, "Thank you, Comrade An. Then I won't stand on ceremony. Come to my house for dinner after get off work tonight, and I'll introduce you to your sister-in-law. That way, you'll have someone to hang out with when you come to Shanghai in the future."
An Moxue readily accepted, "Okay!"
"Then let's go to work first, and catch up again tonight. We can have a good chat then," Gong Huanzhi said, gesturing for them to continue.
In the external materials group of the investment promotion bureau, several people watched as Director Gong led in a beautiful, unfamiliar woman, and they were puzzled.
Gong Huanzhi didn't waste any words, "Comrades, stop for a moment. This is Comrade An, who is here to save the day. Everyone, prepare all the materials so that Comrade An can quickly review them and we can respond promptly to the visa meeting at 1 p.m. this afternoon."
"Hello, comrade." A drizzling voice rang out, clearly not enthusiastic.
Gong Huanzhi smiled apologetically, and An Moxue returned a gentle smile, clearly not taking the matter to heart. Then, she uttered a string of fluent English, the gist of which was that she was there to save the day because of her personal relationship with Director Gong, and that she would not stay to work and would not affect anyone's future career development, so there was no need to worry.
Some people present understood, while others did not, but it was clear from her words that she was capable of serving as the temporary translator for this occasion.
Those who understood felt a burning sensation on their faces, while those who didn't understand didn't have a good intuition either.
Gong Huanzhi sneered, "She's a top student from Kyoto University. Hurry up, or if the signing this afternoon is delayed because of you, let's see who can take responsibility for that?"
He's really embarrassed himself in front of Cheng's girlfriend today; he has no face left to save.
The group in the office put aside their ulterior motives, found some documents, and even arranged a seat for An Moxue.
Seeing that An Moxue quickly got into work mode, Gong Huanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and left the office.
Admittedly, he was a little worried when An Moxue didn't speak fluent English. But when Wu Sicheng bragged about how amazing his girlfriend was, he didn't mention that she could speak English!
He returned to his office and hurriedly dialed the phone number of Wu Sicheng Military Academy.
It was during class time, and Wu Sicheng jogged to the principal's office. He answered the phone and, hearing the voice on the other end, asked with some concern, "Huanzhi, why are you calling at this hour? Is something wrong with Mo Xue?" The brothers wouldn't call unless there was nothing wrong, especially during his class time.
In his office, Gong Huanzhi joked, "What's wrong? Can't I give you a call, bro? Why are you bringing up your girlfriend? By the way, let me ask you something: your girlfriend speaks English! Is she capable of handling the signing process with foreign clients?"
Wu Sicheng raised an eyebrow, his mood instantly improving. As long as Mo Xue wasn't in trouble, it was fine. "No problem. Let me tell you, she went to your rescue, didn't she? You'd better thank her properly. If she asks you anything about attracting investment, you'd better give me a clear answer, or I'll make you regret it later."
"Damn it! You surnamed Wu, you're becoming less and less brotherly, aren't you! You want to teach me a lesson? We'll talk about it when you have time to see me! Besides, I already promised you something, so I have to treat you well. By the way, I invited her to my house for dinner tonight. Can you tell me if she has any dietary restrictions?"
Hearing this, Wu Sicheng said very seriously, "She doesn't like too much ginger in her dishes. I remember you like to put ginger in your cooking, so use less in the evening. If you're cooking fish, it's best to buy the kind with only one bone, otherwise it's troublesome to eat. Also, you can make sweet and sour dishes, but don't make sweet Shanghainese dishes; she doesn't really like them. And..."
"Stop! Your girlfriend is quite picky. She's never even been to Shanghai. How do you know she doesn't like sweet Shanghainese cuisine?"
Wu Sicheng rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone and said, "You're from Beijing, do you like authentic sweet local cuisine? Can you get used to it? She's from Beijing too, what do you think? Besides, just because I've never been to Shanghai doesn't mean I can't know if she doesn't like sweet food, understand? She basically loves all authentic Beijing cuisine, she has a big appetite! She's not picky at all."
Gong Huanzhi rolled his eyes speechlessly, but unfortunately Wu Sicheng couldn't see it. His childhood friend was beyond saving, and he didn't intend to save him. Let him sink into depravity!
The poisoning is too severe; there's no hope of saving him!
Gong Huanzhi and Wu Sicheng's conversation veered off to completely different topics, while An Moxue was unusually engrossed in her work. She discovered that the domestic government was making huge concessions and creating inequalities in negotiations with foreign capital. This was the main reason why many factories, which were clearly state-owned enterprises, were eventually controlled or even swallowed up by foreign capital.
In particular, some time-honored brands, despite bearing the name of a time-honored brand, are no longer the brands in the hearts of Chinese people, but rather foreign-owned enterprises that are actually controlled by foreign capital.
Thinking about this, An Moxue felt it was necessary to write a paper on this matter and have Lao Hou submit it so as to draw the country's attention. She did not want history to repeat itself and for the country to suffer.
As she read the documents, she took notes. Her colleagues were amazed by the speed at which she turned the pages and took notes, and couldn't help but ask, "Comrade An, have you understood all of this? Do you need to slow down? There's enough time, you don't need to rush."
An Moxue looked up at him, replied with a "okay," and then lowered her head to get back to work, without slowing down at all.
When Gong Huanzhi arrived, An Moxue was looking through the newspapers on the shelf next to her.
He was somewhat surprised. "Comrade An, have you finished your preparations?"
"Yes, it just ended. I'm here to check on the policy and economic trends in Shanghai." She held up the newspaper in her hand.
"It's lunchtime. I've prepared a work lunch. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat! I'll also tell you about what's going on this afternoon."
“Alright, then I’ll accept your offer.” An Moxue said, putting down the newspaper in her hand, and left the office with Gong Huanzhi.
