Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Wen Ke...
Chapter 45
Wen Ke'er looked at the red Beetle and liked it very much. But after just a few more glances, she saw someone she had never expected.
Fang Ke?
She is still alive!
Although she has the original owner's memories, Wen Ke'er has always felt that she is an independent individual. However, meeting her "fellow countryman" who shared the same hardships in a time and space that seems like a foreign country still makes Wen Ke'er very excited.
"Weisheng!"
Wen Ke'er uncontrollably called out Fang Ke's nickname and was about to walk over. Suddenly, Sheridan Bob grabbed Wen Ke'er's hand, looked at her, then at Weisheng, and asked in a questioning tone, "Angel?"
Sheridan Bob was the American businessman who hired Wen Ke'er as a temporary translator that day. Angel was Wen Ke'er's English name. Wei Zhensheng was hosting a 21st birthday party, and Sheridan Bob had received an invitation. So, Wen Ke'er attended as his party companion and translator.
When Wen Ke'er first heard the name Wei Zhensheng, she thought he was the son of a wealthy man in Hong Kong, otherwise his 21st birthday party would not be so grand. But after hearing about this eccentric man from Sheridan Bob, Wen Ke'er combined it with Wei Zhensheng's background and easily thought that Wei Zhensheng was the legendary ungrateful son-in-law of the Zhongfang family.
I also shed a tear of sympathy for Fang Ke, who traveled thousands of miles to find his father and eventually died at sea.
But now, seeing Weisheng coming out of the Beetle, even though he didn't have many jewels on him, he still looked noble, he thought that his fellow countryman was not only alive, but also had been successfully recognized as a relative.
Thinking about how he had narrowly escaped death to enter Hong Kong and then ended up on the streets, if he had not become Sheridan Bob's temporary interpreter by chance, he would probably still be struggling to make ends meet.
I feel a little uncomfortable, and there are envy and jealousy that I don't want to admit.
Weisheng locked the car and threw the keys to the parking attendant. Then he straightened his shawl and walked towards Wen Keer carrying a palm-sized bag.
The cheongsam is made of off-white printed satin with a hint of luster and pearl trim. The perfect three-quarter sleeves add a touch of elegance.
The shawl is made of thick brocade with light green silver weave and white tassels, which looks elegant and not plain when draped over the body.
Looking at Weisheng walking towards her, Wen Keer thought of a word... graceful and elegant.
After quickly whispering a few words to Sheridan Bob, Wen Ke'er went to greet Weisheng. This time, Wen Ke'er felt an indescribable annoyance.
She was wearing a champagne-colored princess dress, which looked pretty good on its own, but compared with the one Weisheng was wearing, even though they were two completely different styles, she still felt like she was outdone.
Suppressing the awkwardness in their hearts, Wen Ke'er and Weisheng held each other's hands with their acting skills as if they were reunited after a long separation.
Wen Ke'er: "Weisheng, I thought I would never see you again."
Weisheng: "I didn't expect Xiangjiang to be so big and yet so small. Are you okay?"
Wen Keer nodded first, then shook her head, and finally tilted her head towards Weisheng, motioning him to look at Sheridan Bob not far away. "I am Mr. Bob's temporary translator now."
Weisheng raised an eyebrow, looked at Sheridan Bob and then at Wen Ke'er in confusion, "Translate what? Zhoushan dialect?"
Uh~
As soon as these words came out, Wen Keer's body stiffened for a moment. She finally realized that with her background and origin, she really shouldn't know English.
Wen Ke'er was so confused and didn't know how to answer that she changed the subject and asked Weisheng, "Weisheng, have you found your father?"
If she hadn't found a rich father, how would she appear here dressed like this?
Upon hearing this, Wei Sheng lowered his eyes and leaned close to Wen Ke'er's ear in a manner that was difficult to describe: "Don't mention it, I never thought there would be fortune tellers in Hong Kong. The fortune teller said that although my horoscope is good, I am prone to villains and he doesn't want my father to recognize me."
"What?" Wen Ke'er's eyes widened in shock, and she shouted, "How can we believe what those liars say?"
"That's right." Weisheng nodded, looking aggrieved. "That fortune teller told me to call my dad brother-in-law, saying it would bring good fortune. I tell you, even my dad's memory loss was a trick that fortune teller gave him."
It turns out your father is not really sick.
wrong!
Wen Ke'er: "Your father asked you to call him brother-in-law?"
Weisheng pursed his lips and reminded Wen Keer, "From now on, you should call me Fang Ke. The name Weisheng... my uncle and aunt are afraid that I will marry a live-in son-in-law like your mother did, and then use my nickname to occupy the old house."
After saying that, Weisheng complained to Wen Keer again, "If this happened in mainland China, these fortune tellers and feng shui practitioners would be paraded through the streets."
When Wen Ke'er thought about Weisheng's experience, she forgot her envy and jealousy, and cursed angrily: "Feudal superstition."
Wei Sheng thought about how he was specialized in this when he was a digital life, and he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment. Then he asked Wen Ke'er, "It's too embarrassing to call your own father brother-in-law. You must keep it a secret."
Patting Weisheng's hand with sympathy, Wen Ke'er assured him, "Don't worry."
After fooling Wen Ke'er with his lies, Weisheng said with envy, "My dad said I'm not yet 18 and told me to go to school next month. I really envy you for establishing yourself in Hong Kong so quickly with your own abilities. My grandparents always said you looked different from everyone else."
Then your grandparents might not be talking about me now!
After pondering for a moment, Wen Ke'er changed the subject again abruptly, "I heard that most schools in Hong Kong teach in both Chinese and English. Can you adapt?"
"It should be okay. You know, my grandfather traveled a lot when he was young, even abroad. He and grandma taught me a lot of things since I was a child. I used to think that those things were useless, and those who knew them were relegated to the barn. Now," she tilted her head slightly, as if she herself was unsure, "it should be of some use."
Wen Keer: I am even more envious and jealous.
At this moment, Sheridan Bob became a little impatient and couldn't help but call out "Angel".
Wen Ke'er didn't know that Weisheng was handing her a ladder, but she thought of a very good thing because of Weisheng's words. She said quickly, "Who said it's useless? If I hadn't learned some English from those people, I would have starved to death on the streets."
After saying this, he led Weisheng towards Sheridan Bob, and then introduced Weisheng and Sheridan Bob very naturally and generously.
"This is Mr. Sheridan Bob, the general manager of the Black Bee Company."
"Mr. Bob, this is Ms. Ke Fang, the younger sister of Director Minsheng Wei."
A sister surnamed Fang? Could she be the sister-in-law of Wei Dong?
Thinking of Wei Zhensheng's never-concealed birth background and the square house in Repulse Bay, the astute Sheridan Bob immediately guessed the "truth".
She extended her hand to Weisheng very gentlemanly. Weisheng knew that this guy was going to kiss her hand, but he took half a step back and bowed slightly to him instead of extending his hand.
Just when Wen Ke'er was about to explain foreign social etiquette to Weisheng, Xu Zhirui came out of the restaurant.
He looked around first, and when he saw Weisheng, he immediately walked over quickly.
"My dear Miss, why are you still here?" Before he could get closer, Xu Zhirui said to Weisheng, "The boss asked about you three or four times, worried that something might have happened to you."
After he finished speaking, he realized that the person standing next to Weisheng was Sheridan Bob, and he immediately greeted him, "Mr. Bob is here too? The dinner is about to begin, please come this way."
While Xu Zhirui was talking to Sheridan Bob, Weisheng whispered to Wen Keer and introduced Xu Zhirui again, "This is my, uh, my brother-in-law's secretary."
She's already called him the eldest lady, but you're still calling him dad and brother-in-law. Is this a loss of morality or a loss of humanity?
Oh, neither.
This is the evil force of feudal superstition at work!
After roaring wildly in her heart, Wen Keer pretended to be a professional translator, took Sheridan Bob's arm again, and walked with him towards the side door of Minsheng Restaurant.
The Minsheng Restaurant where the birthday party was held was not the main store, but the first branch opened by Weizhensheng based on the main store.
It is called a branch, but it is much better than the main store in terms of area and decoration layout.
The branch has five floors above ground and one floor underground. The first floor has four doors to the outside.
The main entrance welcomes regular diners, who then proceed directly to the second and third floors. The decor here is more upscale, and the dishes are not only exquisite but also exceptionally expensive. Compared to the à la carte dining options on the second floor, the private rooms on the third floor are not only more expensive, but also have a policy of selling at a low price, which is practically a steal.
The east entrance has a dedicated passage for banquets, with an elevator leading directly to the fourth and fifth floors. The fourth floor is divided into three separate banquet halls, one large and two small, while the fifth floor has only one banquet hall.
The west door is for regular diners, who come in and eat directly on the first floor. This place emphasizes value for money, so there are often some discounted sets.
The door on the south side of the restaurant is the back entrance, used for receiving food from the kitchen, transporting garbage, and for staff to pass through. Entering from here leads directly to the two underground floors. There are elevators that go directly to the upper floors, as well as a special elevator for delivering food...
At this time, Sheridan Bob and Wen Ke'er were walking in front, Weisheng and Xu Zhirui were following behind them. Without saying anything else, the four of them took the elevator from the east door to the fifth floor.
When stepping down from the elevator, even Weisheng would be shocked by the magnificent and outrageously luxurious decoration of the fifth floor.
So luxurious~
Before Weisheng could take a closer look, someone spotted the four of them. As the host, Wei Zhensheng quickly spoke to his business friends and headed towards them.
He first had a business exchange with Sheridan Bob, and then bent his arm to Weisheng. Seeing this, Weisheng smiled and took his arm.
Then the two of them led Sheridan Bob into the banquet hall as hosts.
Along the way, Wei Zhensheng's English was not very good, and Sheridan Bob could not speak Chinese very well. Well, he could speak a few words in Chinese, but he could not understand Cantonese at all.
Wei Zhensheng exchanged business pleasantries with Sheridan Bob in Cantonese with a Zhoushan accent, leaving Sheridan Bob to converse with him in American English. This is when the value of a translator becomes apparent.
Xu Zhirui was able to become Wei Zhensheng's chief secretary because he was proficient in several foreign languages. However, when he saw that Ke'er's translation was correct, he did not jump out and just stood quietly beside Wei Zhensheng.
Just at this moment, perhaps because she was nervous or confused, Wen Keer used the wrong word when translating.
Just as Xu Zhirui was about to step forward, Weisheng got there first.
Seeing that Weisheng spoke English better than her, Wen Keer felt a little embarrassed as if she was showing off her skills, especially since Weisheng could only speak English because she had translated it wrong.
However, she was very satisfied with her current job and did not want her employer to find out anything, so she continued translating calmly.
After a while, another guest came up, and Wei Zhensheng asked Xu Zhirui to help entertain him, and then took Weisheng to the elevator.
Watching Weisheng leave with her 'brother-in-law', Wen Keer felt even more aggrieved.
She discovered that the people here were very realistic.
If the male companion does not take the initiative to introduce the female companion, the woman will be regarded as a vassal of the man, a social butterfly. However, if the male companion takes the initiative to introduce his female companion to others, people will first evaluate the woman's identity and value based on the male companion's words, and then consider how to treat her.
Or turning a blind eye, or speaking in a light tone, or being kind and gentle...
Looking at Wei Sheng who was being treated politely in the crowd, Wen Ke'er thought to herself:
How come her life is so good?
