Chapter 227: A Rare Equality
Is this considered an interview?
Ji Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and immediately felt a burst of joy in her heart - the starting salary of famous employees is higher, if this part-time job can get the salary of an official translator, if you calculate it carefully, this will simply exceed her income from her main job as a teacher...... Of course, Guan Xing's words also told her that she was removed from the waiting list of Wang Cheng's girlfriend. Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and the two can't have any non-colleague relationships except for work.
This made Ji Xiao feel a little regretful, after all, Wang Cheng she knew was also an unmarried young man with a little wealth, although such a person was not a diamond-type man, but at least he was ruby level, right? The carrot is placed in the mouth of the little white rabbit, and it can't be eaten just by looking at it, which is really a cheat.
I only heard Wang Cheng continue: "You are a teacher in the college, and the foreign teachers of the university must have been in contact, what do those foreign teachers usually like to drill?" If you don't know, just ask - you start working tonight, I will accompany you on the first day of work, and I may accompany you from time to time in the future, but it can only be regarded as a help. ”
Ji Xiao immediately regained his cleverness: "Do you have a German dictionary?" Can you lend me a little bit of German, and I'll be able to speak basic conversation for two weeks......"
Li Xiang interjected: "Those foreigners are also learning Chinese, and the company's incentive policy stipulates that if they can speak Chinese, their salary will rise by 30%. In the past few days, foreigners have been chasing translators to practice Chinese, so it doesn't matter if you don't know German, communicate in English first, we value your ability to get along with foreigners. You accompany the foreigner to the bar, and the money for drinks ......"
"The foreigner will pay for her", Wang Cheng added: "I will tell the foreigner about this, and they can understand...... You're not going to be an alcoholic, are you? ”
Ji Xiao was ashamed and angry, as usual, Guan Xing came out to play a round: "Okay, after the work is over, let's go up to eat, everyone is hungry." ”
The building wasn't really a village, it was an antique building, and the town was relatively large. The overall architectural style is the urban scene of a small mountain town in the south, the village is located on the mountain, along the streets of seven bays and eight winds, the streets are full of two-story houses on both sides, and several large courtyards that imitate large families are restaurants with various flavors, of course. There are also independent boxes, such as several houses that have been converted into family boxes - Guan Xing chose one of them.
After everyone was seated, Li Xiang was busy calling the public relations company to inform them of Mingshang's final decision, while Ji Xiao was busy calling back to ask the school's foreign teachers. Guan Xing greeted Wang Cheng. "This is a tourism project jointly developed by the tourism bureau and a hotel group, and there are several commercial streets here that sell tourist souvenirs," he said. Originally, this area was meant to be made into a scenic spot, but now the development is not perfect. So half of it was converted into a hotel, and the other half was used as a leisure place...... Haha, I just heard that you are looking for a place to relax at night, this place we Chinese know is a fake antique, foreigners may not know, so ...... Haha, I'm going to have to rely on your support here in the future. ”
Wang Cheng said a few words humbly, and Guan Xing continued to introduce: "The taste of this place is relatively clear. But there are also some high-end dishes, and we are tired of eating big fish and meat, and we often come here to have fun. I heard Li Xiang say that your cooking skills are good, this kind of peasant dish, don't laugh. ”
Guan Xing then sighed: "It's a pity that it's in Australia." You came and went in a hurry, I didn't get to taste your craft, the next time you have this opportunity, don't forget to call me. ”
Wang Cheng first translated Guan Xing's introduction to the local area to Katayama Village, and then promised: "Okay, next time I cook something special, I must remember to call Brother Shangguan." ”
The dishes in this restaurant were very fast, and after a while, the stairs were knocking, and the waitresses were wearing student clothes from the Republic of China era, white printed short undershirts, and blue and black long skirts, walking up the stairs with palace steps, and began to arrange the dishes, at this time Li Xiang and Ji Xiao finished their calls, Ji Xiao originally planned to report to Li Xiang, Li Xiang pointed to the seat next to Wang Cheng: "You sit there, and you will be in his charge in the future." Ji Xiao sat beside Wang Cheng, took out the chopsticks from the chopstick cover with his hands and feet and put them on to Wang Cheng, and quietly looked at the people on the table.
To tell the truth, the number of people at the table Wang Cheng is inconspicuous, and the Japanese devil is dressed in a suit by Rei Kawakubo, straight and magnificent; Li Xiang wears Givenchy's casual clothes, Guan Xing wears Armani formal clothes, and even the secretaries sitting at the table are wearing Gucci and boss clothes, but Wang Cheng didn't even change his work clothes, and wore a domestic black suit of unknown brand...... That's not all, everyone wears a Louis Vuitton belt and a crocodile belt outside their suits, but Wang Cheng wears a canvas military belt. The metal fasteners on the belt are shiny, but what's the use, what kind of high-end goods can be used with a canvas belt...... Ah, he's still driving a broken jeep.
However, sitting next to this inconspicuous man, Ji Xiao somehow felt very warm in her heart, and in a trance, she remembered that rainy night, the black suit that asked her with a concerned face in the pouring rain...... She took a breath lightly and interjected with a smile: "Section Chief Wang, the foreign teachers recommended a few places just now, but they all said that your 'Mingshang' is the real tasteful place, and they are all ready to wait for the 'Mingshang' to open and go directly to the 'Mingshang' to consume." ”
Li Xiang was very proud when he heard this, he quickly glanced at Guan Xing, and when he saw Guan Xing staring at the dishes on the table with a dignified face, he immediately added in a show-off manner: "That's not good, we are membership-based, and we don't accept 'non-members'...... Well, you can imply that those foreign teachers are only allowed to enter the 'Mingshang' under the leadership of our staff foreigners, and the club is only for employees - haha, this is also a benefit for employees, and by the way, help foreigners make more friends. ”
The dishes have been laid out, the wine has been full, Guan Xing picked up a glass of wine and solemnly saluted Wang Cheng: "Let's not say anything else, I salute you for this glass of wine, thank you, and I will rely on you to take care of it in the future." ”
Ji Xiao was a little stunned, how could Guan Xing, as an official, rely on Wang Cheng to take care of him? She didn't know what Guan Xing meant by this, and Wang Cheng couldn't shirk this glass of wine, he raised his glass and drank it all.
After a few rounds of drinking, the whole table began to talk more, Li Xiang and the secretaries took turns to say a few yellow jokes, and soon, the hotel's senior management knew that Guan Xing was coming, and rushed to toast, in their endless process, Wang Cheng took advantage of the gap between everyone toasting Guan Xing, and whispered to Ji Xiao: "So, after returning from Australia, you entered the current conservatory?" ”
Ji Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since seeing Wang Cheng again, Wang Cheng has been overwhelming her with a strong posture, and only at this moment did she feel that the two were equal.
That's right, when the two first met, Wang Cheng was not condescending, he talked to Ji Xiao on an equal footing, asked about the situation, and knew the plight of the children, Wang Cheng immediately donated generously, Wang Cheng at that time seemed so kind and so compassionate, and his kind-hearted appearance often made Ji Xiao sigh "There are many good people in this world after all."
Now, Wang Cheng suddenly talked to her about the first time they met, which made Ji Xiao feel: The kind-hearted man in black in the past has appeared again, and now they are equal.
"Yes, I was a student union in Australia, and I grabbed a job in the summer camp of the reception education system, although I gave a little less money, but I left a good impression on the education system, and then I ......", Ji Xiao opened the conversation box and chattered about the situation after the farewell.
"You also know that it is not easy to mix in the music industry abroad, there are many performers at subway stations, railway stations, and ferries, and the music level is higher than mine. …,…… As for finding a part-time job, you must also know that the cost of studying abroad is very expensive, my parents did everything to send me out to study, relying on the domestic salary, it is far from enough to return these investment in studying abroad, so I have to look around for part-time jobs to earn a little more money to leave for my parents to support the elderly. ”
Speaking, Ji Xiao snapped his fingers and counted them one by one: "In the past two years, I have played the piano in a bar, worked as a musician in the hotel lobby, and tutored children on Saturdays and Sundays. …… Well, it seems that Mr. Li wanted to introduce me to you in the first place, hehe, now that I can get a job as a translator, that's even better.
I know the habit of foreigners, they go to the bar to drink, they don't necessarily talk all the time, I can introduce them to my peers and let them chat on their own...... If you agree, I can still play the piano or something in the bar part-time, and when the foreigners are finished, as long as they are put in the taxi, it will be none of my business. So this job is equivalent to paid play, going to high-end places, fun and making money, thank you. ”
After a pause, Ji Xiao glanced at Wang Cheng cautiously and quickly, and asked, "You 'Mingshang' are about to hire foreigners all year round, right?" ”
At this time, Guan Xing drank a toast again, and the boss who came to greet him said a yellow joke again, everyone laughed shyly, several little secretaries on the table pretended to be shy, and the Japanese Satoshi Katayama didn't know what people were laughing at, and looked stupid...... Wang Cheng took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, his body shrank back, and nodded lightly at Ji Xiao as an answer, Ji Xiao's eyes immediately lit up: "If this is the case, it is very good to be able to get sponsorship to open a bar, well, put a satellite TV receiver on the roof and broadcast some foreign sports competitions, foreigners must like to get together."
This is a really good idea, you have five foreigners you know all year round, and then seduce some foreign teachers, you can attract a little bit of other foreign companies, and those white-collar gold collars who like to revolve around foreigners will automatically come over, and business will be booming...... How's that, are there any ideas? ”
