Chapter 397 The Cold-Faced CEO is Actually a Clingy Little Dog
After a three-hour meeting, Chen Buyu remained outside taking notes, exhausted and with a sore back.
But when Huo Qingci and Jiang Li came out, they were still very proper and upright.
She also held her head high and stood tall, unwilling to lose face.
"Can you keep up?" Jiang Li asked her.
Shen Buyu gave an awkward, sheepish laugh. "Sixty percent."
"Keep up the good work." Jiang Li smiled. "You're already very impressive."
"Okay, I'll take that as a compliment." When it was just the two of them, Shen Buyu stretched her neck. "It's only now that I truly realize the difference between me and you guys. I still need to practice."
"Practice makes perfect. If you want to make a living in this field, the only way is to practice hard. There are no shortcuts in translation."
"Let's eat." After handing over her work, Huo Qingci led the two of them to the restaurant. "Bring me your notes."
Shen Buyu paused for a moment, then opened the tablet and handed it over.
Huo Qingci flipped through the pages and handed the tablet back to her. "Starting next week, you'll be on the eighth floor with me."
"ah?"
"Report to my office at eight o'clock next Monday." Huo Qingci took two steps, then turned around. "As the deputy director, shouldn't I mentor my fellow female students? Otherwise, Professor Xu will get angry."
This must be because he's upset about what she said in the office this morning.
Seriously, old age doesn't excuse pettiness.
Qin Nianke deleted him—greatly!
Huo Qingci was a man of few words, Jiang Li was not talkative, and Shen Buyu could not find any common topics for them to chat about.
The three of them ate in complete silence.
Shen Buyu's phone rang. She picked it up and opened it.
It's Qin Nianke's information.
She intended to transcribe it into text, but her hand trembled and she pressed play instead, but it was still playing through the speaker.
"Silence! It's Friday today, no work tomorrow, let's go out tonight! No boyfriends, you haven't spent time with your girlfriends in ages!!!"
Shen Buyu smiled apologetically and quickly turned down the volume on his phone.
Huo Qingci across from him slowed down his chewing and unconsciously glanced at Chen Buyu's phone.
I don't know what she replied.
Qin Nianke on the other end sent a string of messages.
Just like he had received before.
That evening, Shen Buyu dragged her tired body to the bar. When she pushed open the door to the private room, she thought she had entered the wrong place.
"Come on in, sister." Qin Nianke, wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding a pen, looked up and greeted her.
"Qin Nianke??" Shen Buyu slowly entered, utterly shocked. "You came to a bar to study?"
This is no nightclub.
The room was brightly lit, and the coffee table was covered with Miss Qin's documents.
"Ah, this is good too, there's food and drink," Qin Nianke made room for her on the sofa, "The main thing is that I have a lot of money here, I have to spend it."
"What's this?" Shen Buyu put down his bag, sat up straight, and picked up a stack of papers. "Oh, a script. You're starting already?"
"Yes, I've collected a lot of scripts. Let's get started as soon as possible. I want to take advantage of my current popularity and make a lot of money. Maybe I can even make a few short drama actors famous and then they can develop directly into the entertainment industry."
Shen Buyu was very pleased.
Since her aunt recovered from her illness, Qin Nianke has become a completely different person, working hard and determined to make money.
They set their sights on short dramas, opened a film and television company, and started buying scripts.
“This one is good. The title ‘The Cold-Faced CEO is Actually a Clingy Little Dog’ is very appealing,” Shen Buyu said, handing over one of the copies. “This one is also good. ‘The Domineering CEO Who Fights and Snatches Does to Be the Third Party for Love’.”
Qin Nianke chuckled, "You like this type of domineering CEO, don't you?"
Shen Buyu narrowed his eyes. "You don't want the investment anymore?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Nianke immediately took off her glasses and threw them aside, grabbing Shen Buyu's arm. "Don't be angry, sugar mommy. We should start the second round of investment. Once the money is in place, I'll sign the actors tomorrow."
“Money isn’t the issue,” Shen Buyu patted Qin Nianke’s hand, “but aren’t you the boss? Why are you doing all this work?”
"Oh dear, it's just that the company opened too quickly and we don't have enough people. I'll do these jobs if I can, and every little bit helps. Besides, I have a good eye for talent, and I don't trust anyone else to choose actors."
"Keep it up!" Shen Buyu stood up, grabbed two bottles of drinks, and said, "To Mr. Qin, who has worked so hard, I wish you all the best and great wealth."
"Let's make money together!" Qin Nianke shouted. "Thank you to my sugar daddy who trusts me completely!"
The two ordered some food and chose a script while eating.
"By the way, I'll be leaving with Huo Qing starting next week, for a week," Shen Buyu said casually.
Qin Nianke picked up a mouthful of noodles and brought it to her mouth, but didn't open her mouth for a long time. "He, he, he."
“Yes, him,” Shen Buyu replied, “that old man.”
"He's alright, I guess." Qin Nianke said softly, then raised her voice, "Ugh, he's just an old man, who cares about him? Come on, sisters, let's eat noodles."
After eating and drinking their fill and spending a lot of money, the two sisters went home satisfied.
At night, she organized her notes while video chatting with Si Jingxu.
Si Jingxu, on the other side of the screen, propped her head up, seemingly able to foresee the state of their relationship after she started working.
This is what happens when your girlfriend is too ambitious.
But he didn't want to interrupt her.
That was her dream.
"What happened to that annoying employee C?" Si Jingxu asked after she finished tidying up.
"I don't know. I didn't go back later, so I should find out next Monday. But it shouldn't be anything serious."
She shared her analysis with Jiang Li with Si Jingxu.
"Hmm, never mind," Si Jingxu said. "Want to go out this weekend?"
"I can't go. I need to catch up on my schoolwork and prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam," Shen Buyu said apologetically. "I can't go with you."
“Then I’ll go with you,” Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. “Being a tutor is quite interesting.”
His tone was as languid as ever, and his magnetic voice instantly made Shen Buyu's thoughts wander a little.
“Um,” she cleared her throat, “I’ll be working with Huo Qingci starting next week.”
"Received." Si Jingxu smiled broadly.
I don't know what he's so happy about.
Huo Qingci prepared a small table for Shen Buyu in his office.
"You'll stay here this week. Continue listening to the radio and news that Jiang Li asked you to listen to. After you're done, transcribe the content of last Friday's meeting and submit it to me."
"What was on last Friday? Could you please provide a backup?"
"If there's a backup, what would you need to do?" Huo Qingci said matter-of-factly, "Memorize it from memory and organize it yourself."
“But I didn’t listen to the whole thing last week,” Shen Buyu said hurriedly. “I only took notes about 60% of it when I was there.”
“Then memorize 60% of it for me, without looking at your previous notes,” Huo Qingci said coldly. “If you can’t even remember this much, then you should give up on becoming a simultaneous interpreter. The Translation Department isn’t a place just anyone can get into.”
