Du Chenzhou sighed and closed his eyes.
After lying down for a short while, Du Chenzhou was notified that there was a dinner party that evening, and he needed to accompany the guests as a translator.
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, composed himself for the moment, got up, changed his clothes, went out, and followed Howard and Lusca to a designated place near the military district for dinner.
As soon as he got off the bus, Du Chenzhou glanced up and seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd.
He paused for a moment, thinking he had misread it, and turned to ask Wu Linghua, who had come with them.
"Director Wu, may I ask which unit those people who got out of that car over there belong to?"
Director Wu glanced at him discreetly, with a hint of scrutiny, and said only one sentence—
“Those are our military factory workers.”
"The military factory..."
Director Wu followed Du Chenzhou's gaze and realized that the person he was talking about was Jiang Yunzhou.
"You two know each other?"
Du Chenzhou gave a somewhat bitter smile.
"I suppose we've met before."
He was also in Beijing, and he worked in a military factory.
Moreover, judging from their interactions, Jiang Yunzhou seems to hold a significant position in the team, and has even become quite close with his colleagues, appearing to have a very good relationship with them.
Du Chenzhou felt even more bitter.
Jiang Yunzhou has already settled down in Jiangcheng and has a formal job. Although Shu Ying is married and has children, as long as he is in Beijing and by Shu Ying's side, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
And what about him?
My current job is only temporary, my status is awkward, and I don't even have anywhere to go.
Comparing the two sides, Du Chenzhou felt even more useless.
His eyes darkened, revealing an indescribable sense of inferiority.
He ate his meal without tasting it, and the translator was also distracted, missing countless sentences and having to ask the other person to repeat themselves, which made both sides somewhat unhappy.
Fortunately, Howard and Lusca didn't blame him. They even explained that he was just too tired from working with them all day and couldn't concentrate, which is why he made a mistake.
On the way back, Howard and Lusca couldn't help but express their concern for Du Chenzhou.
"Zhou, you seem out of sorts tonight. What's wrong? Are you too tired?"
Du Chenzhou was at a loss for words.
They are friends, but their friendship hasn't reached the point where they can confide in each other.
Moreover, both of them are foreigners and will soon be returning to their own countries. We will never see each other again, so there's no point in saying anything more.
Du Chenzhou sighed inwardly, shook his head, and pinched his brow, pretending to be very tired.
"Yes, I probably didn't sleep well last night. I feel a little tired today. I'm really sorry I couldn't translate properly for you."
Upon hearing this, Howard and Lusca quickly waved their hands.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm sorry to have troubled you today. Please get some rest when you get back. I won't bother you again if anything else comes up today."
The two politely escorted Du Chenzhou to the door, said goodbye to him, and then went back to their own rooms.
Howard and Lusca kept their promise and did not contact Du Chenzhou again after returning home. Instead, they focused on organizing the confidential information on their own.
When Du Chenzhou went out to fetch water, he saw two guards standing at the door, armed to the teeth, looking on high alert at all times.
It seems the documents they compiled were highly confidential.
Du Chenzhou only thought about it briefly, his gaze lingering on it for long, before returning to his room after fetching the water.
