Chapter 8: Bertha Seaver
Ye Chen naturally has no opinion on the boss's request, and it is estimated that if Jem didn't want to pursue this Miss Bertha, it is estimated that he would not have asked Ye Chen about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No problem, as long as the pay is right, everything is up to you." Ye Chen didn't refuse the boss on this trivial matter, although he was still very curious about the relationship between them, but it was really not suitable to say it.
"Good man, I know you're fine." Jem clapped his hands and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up. "You know, you can't handle that old woman without me, boy, I'll let you see the boss's heroism in the afternoon."
Looking at the boss who was bragging loudly in front of him, Ye Chen also smiled helplessly, and when he made an appointment with Jem, he walked out of the office.
"Hey, Ye. Are you going to meet a man named Bertha in the afternoon? Seaver's woman? Judy leaned on the table like a curious baby and asked Ye Chen with a playful face.
Trying hard not to look at Judy's full upper circumference, Ye Chen took a deep breath, "How do you know?" ”
"You didn't see what happened to the boss when that woman came last week." Judy laughed as if she had thought of something funny. Jem put on makeup and perfume for the first time. Oh my God! He was close to blushing. ”
"Judy! Go and bring Martin over to me. And you, Ye. Hurry up and get me to work! ”
As he was talking, he heard Jem's loud roar in the office, Ye Chen glanced at the office behind him, smiled at Judy, and quickly ran away.
Not to mention the appointment with Jem, Ye Chen immediately threw himself into busy work after returning to his office. After more than a week without work, Ye Chen's desk has accumulated a lot of work, from the whole city of Liverpool and other parts of the UK, he needs to carefully select from them, as a reviewer of the first draft, Ye Chen's workload is very huge.
As soon as he finished eating at noon, Ye Chen received a call from Jem.
"Man, hurry up to the café downstairs!" After that, hang up the phone. Ye Chen reluctantly put away the phone, got up and walked towards the café.
Seeing Jem talking to a serious-looking lady from the Starbucks window, this should be Bertha from National Geographic? Seaver. She was dressed in a black ladies' suit, her hair was rolled high on her head, and her slightly mature face was painted with light makeup.
"Jem, hello ma'am." Ye Chen arrived at the table of two and saluted the guests seated.
"Hi, Ye. This is Ms. Bertha," Jem saw Ye Chen arrive, and hurriedly introduced the two, "Bertha, this is Ye Chen from our company, a young man from China. ”
"Hello, Ye." Bertha stretched out her right hand and smiled slightly. "Your photos are beautiful, I hope our cooperation goes well."
Gently shook Bertha's fingertips, "Hello Bertha, welcome to Liverpool." ”
After Bertha sat down again, she pulled out a magazine from her handbag, officially the magazine that Ye Chen was responsible for publishing, and the open page was officially the photo he had taken.
"We're doing a geography series about Scotland, and I happened to find the pictures you took, which are very imaginative, can you tell me about them?" Bertha flipped through the magazine.
Ye Chen put down the coffee in his hand and thought for a while. "This is a photo I took when I was in school. At that time, my mentor and I were on a geological expedition to the north of Scotland, and standing on top of the gently undulating highlands, I couldn't resist taking pictures. ”
"In addition to the photos in the magazine, I have a lot of beautiful works, but the magazine space is limited, so I only select some of them for publication."
"Is it true?" Bertha was suddenly surprised and asked, "It would be great if that was the case, in that case I would reconsider the content of the contract." ”
"Don't worry, Bertha." Jem seemed to have been waiting for a long time and quickly interjected. "Ye's work will definitely satisfy you in a while. Why don't I take you for a walk first, give Ye a little time, and let him get the photos. ”
Seeing Jem's impatience, Bertha immediately rejected him. "No need, I'll go to his place to take a look when Ye gets off work, and I won't bother you."
After speaking, he wanted Ye Chen to ask: "Ye, do you have time at night?" Don't mind if I take a look at your work? ”
"No problem, it's in my apartment."
After drinking coffee, Bertha said that she had a job and left early, leaving Ye Chen, who was drinking coffee, and Jem, who was unhappy. Looking at Jem's aggrieved appearance, Ye Chen felt really interesting, the lion-like boss in the office was now like a puppy who had lost his master.
"Ahem." Ye Chen cleared his throat and deliberately said loudly, "I'm going to invite a lady to dinner in the evening, but a driver and a friend who pays the bill, I don't know who can help?" ”
Jem looked at Ye Chen with an excited face, "Man, you're amazing." Whatever you want to eat in the evening, you can order it. ”
After getting off work in the evening, Jem drove Ye Chen and Bertha to Leopold's apartment. Ye Chen showed his extensive collection of photographs one by one, which surprised Bertha, and selected many photos from them, which were included in the contract along with the works that had been published in the magazine before.
"Mr. Ye, I can't imagine that you have been to so many places with so many spirits, and this old man will be your teacher?" Bertha holds a photo of Ye Chen and Professor Milton taking a photo together.
"Well, Professor Milton is a well-known naturalist in our school."
"Milton? Cooper, I know him. Bertha looked delighted, "I have read many of his works, and I did not expect you to be his student, I heard that he has a very rich experience in field surgery." ”
"Yes, Professor Milton takes his students around the world every year, and these are the photos that the Scottish Museum invited him to go there for academic exchange at the time, so I was fortunate enough to take these pictures."
"Mr. Ye, I am very interested in Professor Milton's scientific expedition, I wonder if I can contact him through you, our film crew is also eager to join Professor Milton's team, we can cooperate."
"No problem, Bertha." Jem slapped his hand and agreed for Ye Chen, "Our TV station will sponsor a part, I think Ye will be able to convince his teacher." ”
"Well, I'll get in touch with Professor Milton, and if there's a sponsorship, as long as it's not very demanding, I think the professor will accept it."
The photos also brought Ye Chen £1,000 in income, and it was more about the decision to work together to participate in the research of the professors at the University of Liverpool, but this required Ye Chen to communicate with Professor Milton in the future.
"Alright, everything is settled, let's go get something to eat." Jem was already impatient to wait, and when he saw that the two sides were almost finished, he hurried to the restaurant.
The breakthrough in the work makes Ye Chen very happy, which proves that he can have another income, but he still has to see the effect of the recorded works at that time. After dinner, Ye Chen didn't disturb Jem's good deeds, and found an excuse to leave early, leaving Jem proudly.
"Ye, prepare well for Wednesday's game, don't forget." Before leaving, Jem didn't forget to remind Ye Chen.
