Chapter 45: A Small Talk (1)

By the end of the exhibition, Chen Ying's booth had received the most messages and praise. This is something that no one expected. Edgar and Emma were overjoyed, and in addition to the remuneration due to the organizers, they gave each of the two girls a hundred dollars in tips. At the end of the day's activities, the couple danced in a circle on the spot, and their happy mood was like a golden cup of wine, overflowing with the swaying of their figures.

"I can't imagine that U.S. real estate is so popular in China!" Edgar screams as he picks up the poster, and his wife leans on a chair next to him to keep him from overly excited. Emma was also flushed with joy, and although she was not as straightforward as her husband, she was also happy.

"There's a lot of data, but it's not always valid for every customer. Some may just be on a whim. Chen Ying kindly reminded them, "Many people may only register for the sake of saving face, or they may also cast a net to gather information more widely." ”

"We know that." Still with high spirits, Emma said, "We had already estimated the percentage of invalid data before we came. But I was also surprised to get such a large amount of fundamental data – almost ten times what I expected! ”

"A little more than ten times." Edgar added. Speaking of this, the couple happily high-fived in the air. Emma's opal earrings sparkled next to her face, setting off her blue eyes. Chen Ying couldn't help laughing.

"I have a good thing for you." Before they were almost packing up and ready to pack, Emma said mysteriously, "The owner of the hotel we booked happened to be an old acquaintance of ours in the United States. He knew we were leaving tomorrow, so he was going to treat us to champagne. The two of you will come over and check it out, and this is an opportunity if you want to work at his hotel in the future. ”

Chen Ying looked back at Liang Jing and found that she was looking at herself nervously, so she turned her head and agreed to it. By the time they left, most of the booths had been emptied, and the wastebaskets on both sides of the aisles were littered with discarded flyers and blank information sheets. When Liang Jing asked the exhibition organizer to borrow a car to come back to check in things, he happened to bump into Wang Yi helping to collect garbage. They chatted for a while, and by the way, they discussed how to get back to school.

"We'll have something to do later, so you can go back first." Liang Jing said goodbye to him with these words.

"Stay safe, it's not too late." He told her.

"Don't worry, you will take care of Chen Ying." She smiled and waved at him, then pushed the cart back to the booth. Although through the exhibition board, Chen Ying could hear it clearly. She tried to pretend that nothing had happened, and dragged a large box onto the cart.

"That's your friend?" Emma asked suddenly, startling Chen Ying.

"Sort of." Liang Jing followed the American's gaze and said.

"It's his girlfriend waiting for him over there, right?" Emma glanced towards the entrance of the exhibition hall and said, "At noon they sat at the opposite table to eat, at the table over there. ”

"It's not." Liang Jing said without thinking. She and Chen Ying carried the largest and heaviest box together, trying to hold their breath so as not to let themselves lose their strength. Chen Ying's hand slipped when she heard this, and a corner of the box almost fell to the ground. She quickly braced herself on her knees, and then slowly moved her hand under the box to hold it up.

"Be careful! Don't hit your feet! Emma rushed over and helped Chen Ying lift a corner of the box. They worked together to put the boxes away, and went to tidy up the other clutter. Edgar carefully inspected each drawer to make sure nothing was missing. His wife assists and puts the discarded paper into the shredder, which is then bagged, sealed and thrown into a designated box.

Edgar volunteered to pull the cart in front, and the three ladies in the back helped push the cart. Chen Ying was pushing while thinking about Emma's words just now, and she couldn't help but turn her head to see if Wang Yi was standing with a girl. Liang Jing seemed to see through her thoughts, always staring at her intently, making it impossible for her to spy on her without being noticed. Before leaving the hall, she finally got a chance to look in the direction the conversation was pointing. But it was now as empty as a blank sheet of paper, and not half a figure could be seen. Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be as comfortable as she had finally completed the porterage. She watched as Edgar picked up the boxes alone and stuffed them into the trunk of the taxi like the legendary Hercules. Then all four of them squeezed into the car, closed the door and drove towards the hotel. The lights on both sides of Chang'an Avenue are on, and the roadside is glowing with yellowish light.

Dusk is the most magical time of the day. The afterglow of the sun looms, signaling the end of the day. When she was in high school, Chen Ying's tablemate once said that he didn't like twilight the most, saying that the feeling of darkness making people feel oppressed and tormented. Chen Ying, on the other hand, appreciates the process of alternating light and dark, which is the beginning of the night time, heralding the beginning of another group of creatures. This is one of the wonderful things about this world, which divides different populations through horizontal regions and vertical spaces, and the appearance of dusk and dawn doubles the interest of this otherwise colorful world.

Swallows and sparrows that used to soar in the sky have returned to their nests, and magpies and crows have stopped crying. In the air, small bats the size of a palm are said to eat insects — like mosquitoes, flies, moths. They have poor eyesight, but they are able to deftly navigate around complex wires and branches, thanks to their sensitive hearing, and the ultrasound waves emitted from their mouths are out of the range of human hearing, so many people don't understand why these Night Elves are so light.
