Chapter 200: The Contractor (18)
Xiao Lan's work in the reading room was very easy, and the manager of the reading room was originally a miscellaneous person, so he was sent to the reading room by Gui Xue because he was clever. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the original administrator's book reading record is good, there is no shortage of books, but every time the book classification will be wrong, because the cultural level is not high. Although it's not a big deal, every time she sees that the sorting of books is always chaotic, Gui Xue is also very uncomfortable in her heart, which means that she lacks available people.
Since Xiao Lan came, a lot of discomfort has been released. Not only did the management do a good job, Xiao Lan also dutifully cleaned the reading room, and the books were also numbered and arranged in order, so it didn't take a long time.
became the administrator of the reading room, Xiao Lan read eighty percent of the books in it in just half a month, and he was well-read and memorized.
In general, Gui Xue is very satisfied with Xiao Lan's work, which is not only a good book manager, but also an excellent translator.
Gui Xue also knew that Xiao Lan said that she worked in the "newspaper", but she was only modest, and her many abilities showed that she was not just a newspaper employee. In the whole of Shanghai, Gui Xue has not spoken about someone as powerful as Xiao Lan.
Why did such a powerful person become a beggar? The origin of the two is also unclear, and Gui Xue is not a person who can't let go, but she can't help but be curious about Xiao Lan, and neither of them has a way.
Today, as usual, Xiao Lan took the newspaper to Gui Xue's study to translate the recent overseas current affairs for her in the morning when the dance hall had not yet opened, and not only that, but she also had to dictate what happened in Shanghai recently, and Gui Xue also asked every employee to do their best.
Xiao Lan naturally has no complaints, she has food and shelter, and clothing, she can still receive money every month, and she can read books for free, and it is not a big deal for her to say a little more. Moreover, Gui Xue gave her a normal job, which was conducive to her hiding her identity and successfully clearing her name.
Xiao Lan escaped from the spinning mill a month ago, leaving herself as a contract worker, but killed someone. She has been secretly observing the movements of the Shanghai Police Station, as well as the relevant wanted warrants, and there is no appearance of the names of the Lin sisters. The only thing you can see in the newspapers is that a workers' riot appeared in the news a month ago, pointing to the place where Xiao Lan fled. The content of the news only downplays the death of one person in the conflict, and does not pursue too much.
Got the job, no one thought she was a murderer, and the only witness was an accomplice. She also hopes that things can pass like that, stay here and work, and keep a low profile is the best choice.
Gui Xue sat at her desk, sorting out the financial documents of the dance hall, and Xiao Lan sat opposite her, flipping through the newspaper and preparing for translation.
"What's going on abroad lately?" Gui Xue raised her head and asked.
"The headline in the St. Louis Express Post is 'Germany's Grand Plan to Annexe Europe,' and the content of the newspaper mainly mentions the recent changes in the situation in Europe, the attitude and ...... of the dominant Germany" According to the custom, Xiao Lan first mentioned the newspaper's headline homepage, summarized the relevant content, let Gui Xue get a general situation, and explained the relevant doubts to her.
After listening to Xiao Lan's words, Gui Xue corresponded to the history of World War II in her memory, and she also had a bottom in her heart, and asked: "What is the attitude of the British side?" The article roughly talked about the conjecture of the United States, in fact, Gui Xue wanted to know whether Britain was prepared for war.
"Compromise, make peace. Xiao Lan replied briefly.
Gui Xue nodded, as she guessed, there was not much difference, and continued to ask: "What else, what is the movement in Japan?"
What is the extent of the development of Japanese imperialism launched in the war of aggression against China, this is what Gui Xue is eager to know, Germany is far away from China, but Japan is still very far away from China, and the invasion that occurred in the first year of the First Wu Dynasty shows that Japan's ambitions are not small.
"The domestic situation is turbulent, the new leader has begun to come to power, and the emperor has retreated into the background...... Xiao Lan explained step by step according to the information he saw.
"Alright, alright. Gui Xue waved her hand to stop, closed her eyes to recuperate, leaned back, rubbed her aching forehead, and continued, "What is there in China?"
After listening to a long list of heavy topics, Gui Xue also knew that the peace left to her would not last long, and her current wings were not full, even if she wanted to do a big career, she couldn't do anything. War was imminent, she could have foresight, foreknowledge, but helplessness, like a knife hanging over her head, which made her feel heavy and uneasy, and began to change the subject.
"Gu Wei, China's first diplomat in the United States, returned to Shanghai, with an unknown purpose and residence. Xiao Lan briefly said.
Gui Xue knew that "Gu Wei", who was a well-known figure in the history of Chinese diplomacy, and it was really incredible to meet him in the same era, and she was curious, curious about his intentions.
"His background. Gui Xue asked.
"Gu Wei went to the United States to study, and gave foreign diplomatic officers to China in the United States, so as to obtain an embassy area for China in the United States......"
Gui Xue has known Gu Wei for a long time, and now when she hears that the great men of history live in the same era as herself, she can't help but feel lost, but fortunately, she is also used to it. Gu Xue knew that no matter how much she knew about Gu Wei, the two were still strangers and would not change anything, and she didn't want to listen to it.
"That's all for today. Gui Xue called a stop.
It is impossible for a courtesan under the fence to have a relationship with an excellent historical great, and even if it is a relationship, it is a fool's dream. Thinking of her own situation, Gui Xue's face darkened a little.
Xiao Lan didn't know why Gui Xue didn't pursue it, according to the usual, Xiao Lan would continue to collect information from all parties to find out about the celebrities in Shanghai. Gu Wei, a young diplomat, should be regarded as an upper-class person in Shanghai, but Gui Xue pursued it nonsense?
The reason why Xiao Lan was puzzled was that Gui Xue was too familiar with Gu Wei in history, so familiar that she didn't need the newspaper to add fuel and vinegar.
Xiao Lan knew that there was nothing to do with her, so she packed up the newspaper and was about to leave, but Gui Xue thought of something and stopped her at the first time: "Wait a minute"
As soon as Xiao Lan turned her head, she didn't stay where she was, she hurriedly went to the bedroom, took a bottle of perfume from the dresser, and sent it to Xiao Lan, saying, "This is a fragrance made by the new factory, you can use it as a bonus for your work this month." Gui Xue said.
Xiao Lan did not refuse, took the fragrance, nodded, and thanked him.
She put the fragrance away, took the newspaper and closed the door, but in the process of going down the stairs, she met Lu Sanye, Xiao Lan selectively avoided Lu Sanye, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the other party, without any warning, Lu Sanye asked Xiao Lan on the spot: "How can I please Gui Xue?"
The reason why Lu Sanye asked so much was mainly because Xiao Lan could change from a dishwasher to Gui Xue's special translator in just one month, and she was even praised, Lu Sanye thought that she must have her own knack and understood Gui Xue's thoughts, so she asked.
To please beauties, you need people around you.
Xiao Lan was stunned for a while without an answer, and finally thought about it, was silent for a while, and said, "Fireworks." ”
