Chapter 59: Hands-on
With the development of China's economy, the purchasing power of Chinese entrepreneurs is indeed very amazing. In just one afternoon, Mao Shunlin bought a number of branded bags, cosmetics, jewelry, and several suits, brand-name ties, high-end shirts, and five sets of branded collars and cufflinks. And that wasn't all, he went to Erdmann's shop again and bought a Vacheron Constantin and a IWC watch each. The IWC watch was almost identical to the one on his wrist, except for the colour of the surface.
At that time, Yin Jie was very curious and asked him why he bought the same watch. He said that the white luxury was reserved for himself, and the black fashion was given to his son.
Forgive Yin Jie's imagination for being too thin, she really couldn't see that the magic of color is so great.
Yin Jie also saw the gold watch she liked that day, but she didn't bring it up, preferring to find an opportunity to buy it again before returning to China.
On Thursday, because Mao Shunlin suddenly canceled his next trip to France, Yin Jie went to Sulek Airport to see Mao Shunlin home. She accompanied him to do customs clearance and tax refunds, and helped him check his luggage. After everything was over, I accompanied him to have lunch at the airport.
"It's the last meal!" Mao Shunlin sighed.
Yin Jie corrected him with a smile: "This is just your last meal in country S." Speaking of which, both of them couldn't help but think of yesterday's dinner.
Since Mao Shunlin had already made the decision to invest in Haosen, Erdmann was very kind enough to entertain him and Yin Jie to dinner at home. The fact is that the people of S are very conservative and usually do not invite guests to their homes. Once invited, it was really a very sincere thing.
However, after Erdmann guided Yin Jie and Mao Shunlin up and down to visit his house, her wife asked Mao Shunlin what he wanted to eat, maybe Western food really did not suit his spleen and stomach, and Mao Shunlin's answer was that he actually wanted to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
Erdmann and his wife were dumbfounded.
His wife does like Chinese food, but she doesn't have any ingredients for it at home. Moreover, she has no idea what "Yangchun noodles" are.
However, if you don't ask, that's fine. Since you asked and the other party answered, but it still couldn't be done, it was a little embarrassing.
At this time, Yin Jie bravely stepped forward. She didn't have time to hang the broth, so she went to the "Fengze Garden" not far away and bought a can of chicken soup. After tasting it slightly, the soup is clear and tastes good.
I went to an Asian supermarket and bought a small bottle of soy sauce, a pack of somen noodles, and a handful of chives (there are no green onions here). When you get home, chop the green onion leaves and cut the green onion into white sections. Immediately cook the noodles and make a noodle soup at the same time.
She puts butter in the pan (not authentic, because there is no lard), puts in the white part of the green onion and deep-fry it to bring out the scallion oil. Remove the browned green onions, add the soy sauce to the scallion oil in the pot and bring to a boil. By this time, the noodles were ready, so she put three spoonfuls of boiled soy sauce into the chicken broth in a bowl, added chopped green onions, and put the noodles in.
The whole process went smoothly, and Erdmann's wife was amazed.
After the noodles were served, Mao Shunlin tasted them and praised them, "It's delicious!" and then ate the noodles with his head covered. It wasn't until the noodles were finished that he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, then patted his stomach and said:
"Yo, I've finally had a full meal!"
Erdmann looked very happy, and he asked Yin Jie, "What did Mao say?"
Yin Jie said: "He said that he was very satisfied with eating. If he had translated the original text, he could have imagined how funny Erdmann's face would be! During the expedition's stay in Hausen, LS arranged for him to be in restaurants with great reputations and tastes. If you end up with a "can't eat" comment, what will the people think in their hearts?
This accidentally pulled away and returned to Surik Airport.
Yin Jie continued, "There is still some time in a while, and you can still browse the shops inside if you go in early." In terms of facilities, Sulek Airport is known as the number one airport in the world. ”
Mao Shunlin raised his eyebrows: "Now that we've finished lunch, going in and shopping again is nothing more than going to the store to shop." I've already bought all my stuff, and basically nothing else I want to buy. ”
Yin Jie persuaded: "It's still good to go in early, but what if the boarding gate is far away from the security check? Find the boarding gate first, and then walk around casually or find a seat to rest." If it were me, I would probably buy two bottles of wine here to take home as carry-on items. ”
"What kind of wine is good to buy?, red wine?" asked Mao Shunlin.
"Actually, you also drank it during the inspection, and the red wine and white wine in country S taste very good, but it is rarely exported because the production is too small. If you like it, you can buy some and take it home. In addition, high-quality Scottish Highland whisky can be purchased in the mall at Sulek Airport. I don't know if you like it or not?"
"I'm OK for foreign wine. Then I'll go in and take a look!" Mao Shunlin snapped his fingers a little funny.
After sending Mao Shunlin away, Yin Jie finally relaxed. She took the escalator down to the train station and bought a one-way ticket to the city of Hausen at the ticket vending machines.
Sitting on the train, she began to quietly think about what she was going to do next.
Back at the office in Hausen, everything seems to be the same as before. But it seems to be a little different.
The day after Mao Shunlin left, Marcus convened a summary meeting of the LS members who participated in the reception of the delegation. At the meeting, everyone reported on the completion of their respective work projects and existing problems, and put forward suggestions for the local voice. Finally, Erdmann presented the results of last Saturday's De-briefing meeting, which of course included the Mulin Group project. The congregation was very excited by the results. In the end, Erdmann tasked Marco with writing a report on the expedition, which Marcus then compiled into a semi-annual report to report to the state government.
Lin Xia also happily said something to Anna, the administrative assistant next to her, Yin Jie guessed that he was telling about getting along with Chinese entrepreneurs, and maybe showing off his own contributions? Yin Jie saw Christoph sitting behind them hook the corners of his mouth a little sarcastically.
Yin Jie also smiled slightly.
After the meeting, Erdmann called Yin Jie to his office and asked Yin Jie about his next schedule.
"I'm planning to travel all the way south along the middle line. I have a friend who lives in Lugano and I want to see her. ”
"Are you going to stop by Italy?" Lugano was already close to the Italian border.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go this time, and the time is very limited. This is my first time in country S, and I still plan to take this opportunity to take a look around, experience more of the customs of country S, and have materials to say when I introduce them to Chinese entrepreneurs in the future. ”
"That's fine. Today, you can finish your work and go back to the dorm early. Rest well, the next week will be very exciting. Erdmann smiled and nodded. Then he reminded: "By the way, don't forget to go to Estella to get your travel allowance." ”
Yin Jie smiled on his face. Then he calmed down and looked at Erdmann with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Erdmann asked.
"There's something I'm so embarrassed that I don't know how to tell you..."
"What's the matter, do you need my help?"
Yin Jie handed the recorder into Erdmann's hands.
"There are two recordings here. Originally, I wanted to deal with this matter as privately as possible, thinking that as long as we talked about it, it would be fine. But then things turned out more than I expected, and I was a little scared. I think maybe I should leave it to you. ”
Erdmann looked at the recorder thoughtfully. Yin Jie got up and said goodbye.
Erdmann waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down. He turned on the voice recorder, found that it was a Chinese conversation, then connected the recorder to the computer, and opened a voice translation software.
After listening to the first recording, both of them were silent. Subsequently, the second recording began...
After the end, Erdmann said to Yin Jie with a somewhat grim face:
"Why didn't you report back to me sooner?"
"Actually, when you inducted me, Kasumi made this proposal. My understanding at the time was that Kasumi cared about me as a newcomer and didn't care too much. This time I came to Haosen, and she vaguely mentioned it again, but I thought that the communication between me and the headquarters was very smooth at the moment and I didn't need one more link, so I ignored it. Last Saturday I happened to meet an alumnus at the weekend fair, who was driving from Stuttgart to Sulek and was passing through here for a break. Since I am an alumnus, I accompanied him to visit the market and have a cup of coffee, and I happened to be met by Lin Xia. She was threatening... , which made me wary. ”
"Then why don't you report after the first recording?" Erdmann said solemnly.
Yin Jie looked at him earnestly and said, "Please understand me." I am compatriots with her, and I tried to resolve the matter in a private context, and it did not seem like it would affect her future in TH. I thought that holding this recording would make her restrain herself, and she promised not to target me again..."
"Does she know this recording exists?" Erdmann held up the red voice recorder.
She knows. I used this to threaten her so that she would not be able to count me again. She agreed, and made an oath. I thought that was the end of the matter. But I didn't expect her to get even worse... It scared me, and I couldn't trust her promises anymore, and I didn't know what worse things she would do. ”
Erdmann was silent for a while, he cleared his throat, and said to Yin Jie:
"What are you expecting?"
Yin Jie replied: "My request is very simple, I hope to separate my work from her work in the future." Of course I know it's hard, she's your personal translator, this..."
Erdmann waved his hand again and said solemnly, "No matter what her position is, Evita, you must know that this kind of behavior is very bad, and TH can't tolerate this kind of person." We can also recruit translators, in fact, TH also has other Chinese employees. ”
"Also, I want to correct you a little. A smile appeared on his face, "Even if that alumnus of yours does have a close relationship with you, it's not our concern." Because that's your personal business, not work. ”
Yin Jie blushed and explained urgently: "Erdmann, my husband and I love each other very much, and we both abide by each other's experiments. That's why I hate it, and I can't tolerate anyone framing me and tarnishing my reputation with false rumors. ”
"Okay, I'm just kidding, don't care. Erdmann saw that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly reassured, "Don't meddle in the rest of the matter, take a good vacation." See you in a week!"
Yin Jie thanked him and returned to his desk. I have done a conclusion of the work at hand, and the relevant information is archived. Later, he deleted the information that belonged to him on this computer.
She went to Estella to receive a generous travel allowance and was happy to say goodbye to her colleagues in the office.
