Ye Qingyin picked up the dress coat that Jiang Yun had left at Chen's house and took a look at it. She couldn't let it go. "This kind of dress really shows off your figure. It's so well made. It must be a product of Rongbaozhai."
The military-style dresses made with the craftsmanship of making cheongsams are as exquisite as handmade suits, making people happy at first sight.
Sister Liu exclaimed, "Xiao Jiang is dressed so beautifully today. If she hadn't called me, I wouldn't have recognized her!"
Ye Qingyin then remembered: "She said she was going to be a translator, did I hear it right?"
Sister Liu thought about it and said, "Xiao Jiang seems to be saying that she was interpreting for Commander Gao."
Ye Qingyin was puzzled: "When did she learn foreign languages? Can she be a translator?"
How come I haven't heard of it? Chen Zhong never mentioned it at home.
However, if he was not an interpreter but just an ordinary receptionist, he would not dress so formally!
Moreover, that jeweled hairpin was definitely not picked up from the ground!
Sister Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang looks quite smart. Maybe Xiao Wu taught him that."
Ye Qingyin didn't say anything. Learning a foreign language is not like learning to cook. How can you learn it just by learning it? Many people study for three years in college and can read and write but cannot speak or understand. Only international students or overseas Chinese can read, speak and understand fluently.
Sister Liu laughed again and said, "Hey, I haven't heard foreigners speak yet. I've only seen Japanese soldiers yelling 'Yoshibageyalu' in movies. If Xiao Jiang can speak foreign languages, let her say a few words to me so I can learn more."
Ye Qingyin sighed, "Didn't Xiao Wu memorize foreign language books before? If he hadn't joined the army, he might have joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by now. Several of his classmates work there!"
Sister Liu quickly interrupted. Director Ye would easily become ill whenever he expressed himself, so she had to talk about something else: "Director Ye, can Xiaojing come back today? Or should I go buy a chicken?"
Ye Qingyin waved her hand: "Don't rush to buy it. Xiaojing is very picky now. She doesn't eat a lot of things. Her father is not at home. If you cook it and Xiaojing doesn't eat it, it will go bad. It's better to wait until Xiaofei comes home. Then buy it and cook it. Xiaofei will definitely have a good appetite. Life is so hard in the border defense company. There is not much to eat."
Sister Liu said, "I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food. They said they're entertaining foreign guests, so they've made extra dishes and are selling them at a small window. Let's try some. If they're delicious, I'll try to make them myself and make them for Xiaofei when he comes back."
Ye Qingyin said, "Hasn't Xiao Jiang been helping to entertain foreign guests these past two days? She must have eaten everything. When she comes back, ask her what dishes she likes."
Sister Liu clapped her hands and said, "Yes, Xiao Jiang is quite good at cooking. I've seen all the dishes she made are quite good. Commander Gao even praised her. Xiao Wu will definitely have a good time in the future."
Ye Qingyin chatted with Sister Liu about the children's favorite dishes. Unconsciously, she was no longer so resistant to Jiang Jun. Thinking about Jiang Jun's dress and flattering words just now, her heart actually relaxed a little.
Jiang Jun hurried to the banquet hall and saw several female secretaries sent by the Military Affairs Department walking together in front of him, including Xiao Xingxing.
Chen Zhong's guard, Xiao Ding, strode over and said, "Xiao Jiang, the commander is waiting. The foreign guests will be arriving soon. Follow me this way."
Hearing Xiao Ding's voice, several female secretaries turned their heads.
Xiao Xingxing looked at Jiang Jun, who was dressed more beautifully than the day before, and felt both angry and jealous.
The other female secretaries murmured, "Hey, look, she really is wearing that jeweled hairpin today!"
"Isn't her scarf a handmade one? Where did she get it from? It's quite pretty!"
"What's so good about her? Her hair is all messed up! Look at her socks. She didn't wear them properly yesterday, and they're still hanging out today!"
"You know what? The admiral's daughter is particularly fond of her and even demands to sit with her for every meal. It's really strange!"
Xiao Xingxing was very upset. This translator who appeared out of nowhere gave her a dress that she had never worn properly, but the commander and foreign guests all bought it.
Bah, he says one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. He is as obedient as a lamb in front of the commander and foreign guests, but becomes sharp-tongued and aggressive in front of me!
Humph, just wait and see, one day your true face will be exposed!
Jiang Yun, who was envied and hated by several secretaries, appeared in front of foreign guests and was, as expected, accepted by them again.
Jenny was overjoyed to see Jiang Yun and pulled her to the corridor: "Zhan An, look, I asked the nanny to add two pearls for me."
For the pink plaid bow hair ornament, Jenny took off two pearls from a necklace and had her nanny sew them on. She also took off the small brooch and sewed a small comb on it so it could be easily inserted into the braid.
In order to bring out the brilliance of the pink bow, Jenny took great pains. The school uniforms of Headington were all dark in color, so Jenny imitated Jiang Jun and matched herself with a pink silk shirt, a red tweed skirt, a dark green Headington vest, and a pearl necklace on her neck that exposed her collarbone.
Now when the two of them stand together, they look more like sisters.
Jiang Jun was touched. "Jenny, you're so cute! I'll make a few more bows for you before you return home."
It felt great to be recognized by others. Jiang Jun felt that her handicraft had really found a confidant. She thought about taking some time to talk to the commander and asking someone to go to the Beijing Department Store to buy some silk. She could use her rest time in the evening to make it overnight.
Perhaps, Ye Qingyin will give her some advice.
When Jiang Jun was accompanying Jenny, Xiao Xingxing automatically stepped in to serve as Gao Lei's translator.
With a simmering anger in her heart, Xiao Xingxing finally found an opportunity to approach Chen Zhong: "Hello, Deputy Commander Chen. I'm Xiao Xingxing, a middle school classmate of Chen Yuanwu. My father, Xiao Ke, used to work with Aunt Ye."
Chen Zhong nodded slightly without replying.
Xiao Xingxing continued, "When our former middle school classmates met, they mentioned Chen Yuanwu. Everyone missed him very much. I wonder how he's doing now?"
Chen Zhong glanced at Xiao Xingxing and moved his lips: "In the army!"
Xiao Xingxing was a little surprised: "Didn't Chen Yuanwu get into the Chinese Department? Why is he joining the army again?"
Chen Zhong turned around and called to the guard, "Xiao Ding, bring us the meeting materials."
Xiao Ding immediately handed over a stack of information.
This directly cut off Xiao Xingxing's chance to continue asking questions.
Xiao Xingxing could only step back awkwardly: "Deputy Commander Chen, I'm going back to the Military Affairs Department's secretariat first."
Turning around, Xiao Xingxing became even more annoyed. She had clearly seen Commander Gao and Deputy Commander Chen telling jokes to Jiang Jun, and Commander Gao even laughed out loud!
