Chapters 585-586
Wang Qiqi thought that after Shi Man received the news from Dai Lijun, she would definitely come to her as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that she waited for several days without waiting for Shi Man's question, she really didn't have a phone call, and when she met her on the Internet, she seemed to be completely ignorant of this matter.
Wang Qiqi knew that it was impossible for Dai Lijun to deceive people, he definitely informed Shi Man, so this made Wang Qiqi confused, she thought to herself that there was something wrong with Shi Man's computer, and let people fix it, and then the content of the chat was gone, Shi Man didn't see the message sent by Dai Lijun.
After Wang Qiqi struggled for a few days, she finally told what happened that day, Shi Man's reply made Wang Qiqi half angry, it turned out that this guy knew the next day, originally she wanted to call directly or send a message on the Internet to bombard Wang Qiqi directly, but after seeing the news sent by Han Tao after the most Lu said that Qiqi had arrived home safely, Shi Man also extinguished this idea, but it was impossible for her to let Wang Qiqi go easily, Shi Man thought that Dai Lijun would definitely inform Qiqi that he had informed himself about Qiqi, Then Wang Qiqi will definitely think that she is going to train her, and Shi Man will think that she doesn't know about it, so Wang Qiqi will definitely be very uneasy, and the next thing will really develop as Shi Man thought.
Wang Qiqi looked at Shi Man's reply, and there was only one thought, that is, Shi Man had become bad, and he would educate himself in such a disguise, but she would not be stupid to say her dissatisfaction, she would only let Shi Man unite more people to educate herself, Wang Qiqi put away her dissatisfaction and told Shi Man about the part-time job she was looking for recently, at the beginning, because she didn't know how difficult the list was, so she never mentioned it, but after flipping through a few manuscripts, Wang Qiqi felt that she could give Manman a point, and she actually had a lot of financial pressure.
Of course Shi Man was reluctant at first, she knew that Qiqi would definitely give herself an easy manuscript, and this kind of translation was generally difficult to catch up with a little difficulty. The price is made according to the average value, and even if Shi Man is confident in the difficult manuscript, she is worried that she will make mistakes, and if the delivery time is delayed, she will have a great responsibility.
After some persuasion, Shi Man agreed, and Wang Qiqi was also relieved, there seemed to be more domestic lists, plus the money earned by Manman's purchase was shared by everyone, no matter how Wang Qiqi thought about it, Shi Man felt that Shi Man was a little at a loss.
Wang Qiqi didn't know what to say after the chat ended. Shi Man stared at the computer for a long time, she knew that Qiqi was making up for it in her way, to be honest, although she didn't tell Qiqi about them, but many things were purchased by her, but everyone also shared the money, and whoever replaced it would be dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, there was still a bit of errand fees, isn't it, but everyone has been friends for so many years, how could Shi Man tell them how unfair it was for such a little money. And Shi Man is not a fool, it is impossible to really do it for such a small amount of money, and she has an idea in her heart that sooner or later there will be a reform.
With Shi Man joining. The task completed is also a lot faster, Wang Qiqi is actually a little worried about whether the other party is really as Han Tao said, there are actually not many small translation agencies, but I didn't expect the list to be okay, for example, there will be five or six orders a day that are not too difficult. To be honest, Wang Qiqi is really curious, it stands to reason that such an amount should be considered okay. Why did Mary still press the translation agency at home, it didn't feel like it was very formal, although Wang Qiqi was standing at the door that day and didn't go in, but through the doors and windows, Wang Qiqi could feel that the house was actually just a home, and there was absolutely no office arrangement.
However, these have little to do with Wang Qiqi, in Wang Qiqi's opinion, as long as you settle the bill with yourself on time, you are a good boss, what does the rest have to do with us, Wang Qiqi wants to send tasks and deliver manuscripts through email, that is, the remuneration is delivered through the bank, Wang Qiqi feels that there is no possibility of meeting again at all.
Wang Qiqi is thinking very well, but in Mary's opinion, in order to make the manpower no longer so tight, a girl who accepted the world would bring her such a big surprise, the task was completed quickly and well, and then thought of the little girl who said that she had done translation work in China, she really believed it, but then she thought of signing a contract with her, although she has not yet come to the United States to study, but it is not a matter of time, she thinks that the little girl can mix under her, that is because of her special situation, Not many people are willing to give her a chance, but Mary feels that as long as the treatment is not too harsh, this girl is not the kind of person who wants to change the boss, but the specific situation will have to wait for the interview.
Wang Qiqi heard someone shouting below, and looked out of the window in a daze, under normal circumstances, no one would look for her, and Shi Man couldn't come over, so she felt very curious, when she saw through the window that Lu went to be one of her bosses, Mary, parked a car next to her, obviously came to find Wang Qiqi.
Wang Qiqi was stunned, she thought to herself how could she come over, it seems that there is no problem with the manuscript she submits, and yesterday she said that the quality and speed of her work are first-class, and there is no problem in the work, so why did she come to herself? Wang Qiqi didn't think that the other party's long-distance attack was to talk to her about raising her salary.
Although Wang Qiqi had doubts about Mary's intention, she still shouted downstairs, "Wait for me for a while." "Alas, it's rare to sleep lazy, I didn't expect to be caught by someone, and there is no need to be so tragic.
Mary didn't expect Wang Qiqi to wake up at this time, she had already driven a car for two hours, but it didn't matter, the most important thing was to find Wang Qiqi, all the way and the previous understanding of this community, Mary knew that even if she rented a house in this community, she should have some ability, after all, the people who live in this community are not people who lack so much money, and they will never rent out a house for money.
Wang Qiqi quickly finished her personal cleaning work and changed into the clothes of the half-visitor, "Hello, Mary." Wang Qiqi welcomed Mary upstairs, brought her a drink, and then sat quietly on her side, in short, the current situation was to wait for Mary to speak before considering how to reply.
Mary thanked her and took a few sips of her drink, then put the drink on the coffee table, "I came to you today to talk about something, we have reached a preliminary cooperation intention before, and the contract has not been signed, I came here for this matter." ”
Contract? Wang Qiqi only understood why Mary came here at this time. It should be very satisfied with the results of his work, after all, people like us who deliver on time are really diligent, "You mean that even if I return to China, we can still continue to work together?" Although this result was expected by Wang Qiqi, anyone would be very happy to hear this good news, after all, it showed that she was at ease with herself, of course, it may be because of helplessness.
Mary nodded, "Well, do you have any thoughts on the treatment?" ”
In terms of treatment? Wang Qiqi thought to herself, even if she had thoughts about the treatment at the moment, would she say that she was dissatisfied in front of you? Besides, this guy has the courage to hire himself just now, and another person may not hire him. "I don't have much opinion, I'm going back after the summer vacation anyway, and the money is saved."
Mary heard that Wang Qiqi had no objection to the treatment, and she had some scruples about her in her heart, but she assured that as long as she was not too black-hearted, she was absolutely sure to keep Wang Qiqi, "This is the contract treatment, you see." Mary took out a contract that had been prepared a long time ago.
Wang Qiqi took the contract and looked at it carefully, which indicated how to settle the bill, such as paying the money immediately after delivering ten orders. Of course, Wang Qiqi has no opinion on this, and if the compensation for delayed delivery, she has no opinion on this Wang Qiqi, which was discussed last time. The contract period is one year, and the issue of remuneration will be discussed after one year of renewal, and the most important thing is that the other party does not remark in the contract that he can only translate in a family, Wang Qiqi looked at the thin contract several times and felt that there was no problem. Pick up a pen and sign your name.
Mary found that Wang Qiqi looked at the contract seriously, asked herself questions from time to time, and then signed the contract like this. "You won't let the lawyer see it?" Although she let the lawyer look at this contract, the question is whether Wang Qiqi is so relieved of herself?
At this moment, Wang Qiqi has long forgotten that there is a lawyer, yes, this is foreign and not domestic, but the question is what if she signs it, do you still regret it, and she thinks that Mary will not be the kind of person who will pit herself, she is not a fool, she must have called the lawyer to read this contract, "I am making money for you, you won't make a trick, I don't think there is anything wrong with this contract, so why bother the lawyer." "Attorney fees aren't cheap either.
Tricks? Mary didn't understand what she meant, and she wondered if it meant harmful. "Don't worry, I pay attention to credibility when I cooperate with others, and you also saw my translation agency that day, isn't it quite surprising."
Wang Qiqi didn't want to express any opinions, but since the boss said so, she smiled and nodded, "If I hadn't confirmed the address repeatedly, I really thought I had gone wrong, and I was still thinking about working on your side on the way back, I don't know if Lu Dao can work for a long time, after all, your company is ......" It's like a small workshop, and it is unlikely that there will be customers.
Wang Qiqi's sincerity surprised Mary a little, she is not without contact with Chinese mainland, in her impression those people are very modest, but it also gives people a little fake feeling, but this girl is really bold to go to find herself alone, knowing that she is her food and clothing parents and speak so directly, "You really don't look like Chinese, I think you seem to have lived abroad for a long time." ”
Wang Qiqi knew that he said so directly in front of the boss how the company was down, if it was in China, it is expected that he would have long since known how many small shoes the boss had worn, but here he was praised by the boss, "I just tell the truth." Wang Qiqi thought to herself that there was no need for us to be afraid of her at all, we were now a guaranteed person.
"I used to do a lot of work, but after I divorced my husband, I regrouped and contacted my old customers to continue this business, because my children are not very old, I have to take care of them." Mary said very frankly, and also let this girl who followed her have a little confidence, when she was choosing her, she was also choosing people, "waiting for the child to be ......" but to be honest, Mary has no bottom on whether to make the translation agency bigger, in that case, the pressure is high, and now I will press the company at home, in fact, the cost is very low, once the scale is expanded, you have to invite the front desk and the logistics staff and rent an office building, these costs are not a joke.
Wang Qiqi didn't expect that Mary was divorced, and she should have been divorced by someone outside her ex-husband, Wang Qiqi thought to herself, why are her two bosses divorced, but the former Li Xiangdong was divorced because he cheated, and Mary was divorced because her ex-husband cheated on her. "It doesn't matter if it's big or not, what matters is how many clients the company has and how many translators it has." Wang Qiqi thinks that it is best not to expand the scale of the company, otherwise at that time, she may not be important, although a little selfish, but this is also a very normal thing, isn't it, "Actually, I came out to work part-time because we recently bought a house in the United States and have to repay the loan." Wang Qiqi also said why she had to work part-time, and she felt that she would make Mary feel that she was sincere in doing it all the time.
Repay the loan? Bought a house? Mary looked at Wang Qiqi in surprise and found that her eyes did not dodge. Explain that this is completely true, this news finally solved the doubts in Mary's heart, why does she not look like a person who is short of money, but she shows that she attaches great importance to money, "Have you bought a house?" "Oh my God, many people in their thirties have rented a house and never thought about buying a house, why is this little girl still thinking about buying a house before she officially comes to the United States.
"Hmm." Wang Qiqi knew why Mary was puzzled, to be honest, several colleagues in Han Tao's unit still rented a house, and for them, renting a house is sometimes much easier than buying a house. For example, if you don't have to pay taxes, and if you have a job transfer, you can deal with things quickly, "which is also a foothold for us." "For countries with good welfare, is there a house in their own name? This is actually not very important, but as a Chinese, the desire for a house is definitely hot, Wang Qiqi just wants to have a house of her own. You can nest in the house in peace, and no one will drive you away.
"Yes, my dad is the same. He always told me that I had to have my own house. "Mary didn't agree with the old man's words before, and always felt that his thinking was outdated, but after some twists and turns, Mary was very convinced by the old man's words, if it weren't for his nagging, maybe many things would have gone in a different direction, and it was very unfavorable to herself." My dad was a first-generation immigrant and I was a second-generation. It's just that she has never returned to China, and her understanding of the country is either what the old man said or saw on the news.
Mary originally wanted to sign the contract and leave, but she suddenly felt that it was a little too indifferent to do so, and heard Wang Qiqi say that she had bought a house, so she said that she had the experience of buying furniture when she renovated the house, and although Wang Qiqi had renovated N houses in China, in the United States, this was her first house, and she had no experience at all, and with Mary's guidance, Wang Qiqi knew all kinds of situations, such as knowing where to buy things better and at a preferential price.
Just when Wang Qiqi and Mary were discussing very energetically, Wang Qiqi's stomach protested, she hadn't eaten today, and it would be wrong for her stomach not to protest again. "Let's stay here for lunch."
"Then you're welcome." Mary heard the old man say that girls in China are very virtuous, and cooking is definitely one of the most basic household chores.
Wang Qiqi opened the refrigerator and looked at the inventory inside, "I'll get a Coke chicken wings, and some beef, isn't it just a little spicy, can you eat it?" "It's not spicy, but some people can't accept it.
"Eat." Mary paused, "Not too spicy, though." "It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Chinese food, I still remember that when I was a child, the old man often took advantage of the weekend to cook so two of his specialty dishes, that taste is still in Mary's heart, but unfortunately she felt that it was too troublesome to make Chinese food at that time, so she didn't learn, and now I think about it and I really regret it, some Chinese restaurants outside are not authentic or the price is a little more expensive, and it is okay to eat once in a while, and it is a bit unbearable to eat more purses.
Wang Qiqi made an OK gesture, and then started cooking, and then looked at the shredded potatoes at home, the third dish came out, and then made a tomato and mushroom soup, as for the rice, make a Yangzhou fried rice, after Wang Qiqi reported the final menu, Mary was even more unopinionated, and the one who smiled happily.
Mary sat at the dining table and watched Wang Qiqi cut and wash the vegetables and then put them into the pot, especially when she made two dishes at once, it was more than enough, "You are so virtuous, no wonder my father is not satisfied with me." "Good academic performance, and being able to make money plus doing housework so well, Mary is convinced, she is completely convinced of what the old man said before, "Your men are very blessed, no, Chinese men are blessed." ”
Whether other men are blessed or not, Wang Qiqi doesn't know whether they are blessed, but whether their own men are blessed, Wang Qiqi absolutely agrees, "Now many girls in China are not so virtuous." "On the contrary, they are very strong, but they are not soft when it comes to spending men's money.
After a while, there was a smell of food wafting in the room, and Mary smelled a somewhat familiar smell, "Kiki, your food must be delicious." "I haven't eaten it yet, but I really have the taste of Daddy in it.
"Kiki, do you teach people to cook?" Mary looked at Wang Qiqi's stove and watched the whole process of her cooking, although these dishes were easy dishes in Wang Qiqi's mouth, but Mary said that it was not an easy task for her to complete.
Teach someone to cook? Wang Qiqi remembered the process of Lu Qiaowei teaching Dai Lijun to cook and teaching Shi Man herself, she trembled, it was a memory that people didn't want to recall, "Cooking is actually about fate, it's not that you will definitely do a good job if you want to learn." After Wang Qiqi told her friend about the process of teaching her friend to cook, she was not surprised to see that Mary's face was a little white.
After comparing her hobby of Chinese food and how much she has to pay to learn to cook, she thinks it's better to forget it, at most deal with Wang Qiqi, and see if she can come over occasionally to have a delicious meal in the future, she doesn't have a lot of time to squander herself now, she has too many things to deal with, and there are many bills to pay, "It seems that I don't have such a strong fate with Chinese food." ”
Wang Qiqi was relieved to hear that Mary denied it first, even if she saw that Mary's cooking was not good, she reprimanded her directly regardless of her identity, but what should be taught still has to be taught, Wang Qiqi definitely doesn't want to find herself boring.
The next time, Mary just watched Wang Qiqi cook, trying her best to hold back her stomach that wanted to protest, it really tasted better and better, especially when she saw Wang Qiqi actually poured chicken wings into Coke, she was surprised, "Can this still be cooked?" "She really can't put Coke and chicken wings in the same pot to stew, the gap is a little too big.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious, by the way, do you eat sweet?" Wang Qiqi asked while adding sugar.
"It's okay, not too sweet." Mary stared at the pot in disbelief, she still hadn't connected the two to each other.
"I've been making this dish, and my man's colleague even ordered it." Wang Qiqi felt funny when she remembered that she had made some money from this dish, not Dai Lijun came back and said excitedly that after Lu Qiaowei came, he didn't have to worry about not enough to support his family, and he couldn't afford to buy a house or a car. "My family makes this dish several times a week."
After making so many meals, Mary is no longer so nervous even if she is not at ease, if it is not delicious, this girl will definitely not waste money and keep doing it.
All worries disappeared after Mary ate Coke chicken wings, she ate chicken wings with one hand and gave Wang Qiqi a thumbs up with the other hand to indicate that Wang Qiqi was amazing, and Wang Qiqi made a plate of chicken wings that was basically killed by her alone, and Wang Qiqi didn't eat any of them.
When Mary finally came back to her senses, she found that there was only one chicken wing on the plate, she looked up at Wang Qiqi, she was really not polite at all, you must know that there was not a single chicken wing bone in front of Wang Qiqi.
"Eat, I'm a little tired of eating now." Wang Qiqi is really not modest, although she makes a lot of takeout, but just because of the smell, Wang Qiqi is a little sick to her stomach, let alone eat.
"Really, you're welcome." When Mary heard Wang Qiqi say this, she unceremoniously sandwiched the last chicken wing, of course, you can eat as much as you can eat such a delicious thing, and I don't know when you will eat it next time. (To be continued......)
