Chapter 50: The Visit
"Hello? Ah, hello, editor sister. β
"Not yet. Well, you said my brother......"
Zhou Heng wiped his hands and turned his head, just in time to see Zhou Lu's inquiring gaze. Nodding slightly, Zhou Lu also understood, "My brother is in the kitchen, wait a minute, I'll give him the phone." β
Zhou Heng took the phone and looked at the screen, sure enough, it was the editor Gu Xiao calling.
"Hello?"
"Is it Mr. Zhou?" Gu Xiao's voice came, "I am your responsible editor Gu Xiao." β
"yes, I know."
How so? Although the other party is a beauty, it has nothing to do with Zhou Heng's plan. A few days ago, he shirked and didn't bring a phone, he must have offended the other party, and they all said that the beauty had a big temper, and Zhou Heng didn't expect to continue to talk and laugh with her.
I made my mistake first, but anyway, Zhou Heng didn't plan to continue to do this translation job, so there was nothing to say. But now that Zhou Lu is still beside him, Zhou Heng still wants to stabilize it first - the termination of the contract is not clear on the phone. I'll mention it for now, and then I'll take the manuscript to a publishing house tomorrow. How can I say it? Zhou Heng was hesitating, and Gu Xiao had already spoken.
"Mr. Zhou, are you home now?"
"Yes, yes."
This editor is not like the previous supervisor, but she has always been very good to Zhou Heng; Not only is he responsible for his work, but he has always been polite when he speaks. Zhou Heng has no opinion on her person, so at this time, there is no idea of shouting 'Lao Tzu is gone' and hanging up the phone.
Thinking of the questions that Gu Xiao would definitely ask next, they were nothing more than what he had been doing recently, why he didn't answer the phone, or something. Anyway, I couldn't tell it on the phone, and Zhou Heng's thoughts were perfunctory for the time being. was thinking about what reason to answer, but Gu Xiao didn't ask the question Zhou Heng expected-
"Is it convenient for me to come here?"
"Hmm...... What? β
Gu Xiao thought that Zhou Heng didn't hear clearly, and repeated: "I mean, I have something to look for you, and if I have time now, I want to visit your house, is it okay?" β
Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and reflexively asked, "That...... What's up? β
"The manuscript you came here last time has been proofread, and there are a few issues that need to be discussed."
"You're coming?" Zhou Heng was stunned, "Are you alone?" β
"Uncle, he's not in good health."
"No, I'm not asking about this ......," Zhou Heng said, "I mean...... Uh......"
"Aren't you free today?"
"No, no, I just want to ask a few people," Zhou Heng also realized that he was a little too rude, "It's almost afternoon, I'll cook and wait for you to come." β
"There's only one person," Gu Xiao replied, "but that would cause trouble for your family, wouldn't it?" It's just a matter of revising the manuscript, it won't be long. β
"No trouble, no trouble......"
"Well, that's a nuisance."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiao hung up the phone. Zhou Heng thought about the reason for a while, but it didn't work, and his brain was a little short-circuited for a while; By the time he reacted, the other party had already hung up the phone.
Zhou Lu next to him asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? β
"She ......," Zhou Heng scratched his head, "she said she was coming to my house for dinner." β
"Hey-" Zhou Lu suddenly became interested, "Brother, are you very familiar with her?" β
"No, she said she was going to revise the manuscript, and I said I wanted to invite her to dinner."
"How does she know the address of our house?"
"This ......" Zhou Heng thought for a while, "It seems to have been written when the contract was signed, right?" β
"What does the editor look like? Isn't it pretty? β
"It's a beautiful ......," Zhou Heng replied, and said angrily, "Why are there so many problems at such a young age?" I'm going to be busy, you go downstairs for seafood...... Forget it, go to the lo-mei shop at the market and buy some cold dishes. β
"Hey, okay!"
Zhou Lu giggled and left, Zhou Heng instructed, "If you don't have enough money, take it from my coat pocket", and before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door closing in the living room.
Really.
After complaining, Zhou Heng was also a little puzzled. What is this editor thinking? Instead of asking yourself why you didn't go to the publishing house a few days ago, you had to come to your own house in person--did you come to Xingshi to ask about the guilt?
Putting down the phone, Zhou Heng was a little puzzled, but the work at hand couldn't be left behind - no matter how you said it, you can't blow people out directly, since you said that you would invite her to dinner, then at least make the meal good first.
Minute by minute. After Zhou Lu came back, he was busy cleaning up the house again; Recently, Zhou Heng has been away from home, and the house is a little messy; And Zhou Heng fried a plate of mapo tofu and burned a pot of chicken. Suddenly, he heard the sound of cars in the yard, Zhou Heng hurriedly came to the window, opened the window and looked downstairs.
A small silver car drove into the hospital and stopped downstairs. Zhou Heng didn't understand the model of the car, and he couldn't see the car logo clearly, but just looking at the appearance, this was a very beautiful car - although it didn't have the silver and shiny luxury of Daben, but it was dotted with the dilapidated streets nearby and a Santana next to it, and the car was very conspicuous.
After parking the car, Gu Xiao walked out of the car. It seemed that because the weather was cold, Gu Xiao changed into a thin windbreaker. After looking at the number at the entrance of the building, he took out a slip of paper and looked at it.
Just like her car, Gu Xiao herself was not the kind of very conspicuous beauty - although she looked very good, she didn't have that amazing aura and charm; However, it was the time to get off work, and the residents and pedestrians outside the courtyard came and went, and after seeing Gu Xiao, they all cast curious or appreciative glances, and Lao Wang, who was passing by, even greeted her, but Gu Xiao just nodded and did not talk.
Zhou Heng hurriedly shouted: "Here!" β
Gu Xiao looked up and saw Zhou Heng lying on the windowsill, nodded and walked into the corridor. In an instant, Zhou Heng felt several eyes shooting towards him, and hurriedly closed the window and ran to open the door. After waiting for a while, Gu Xiao appeared at the corner of the stairs; Zhou Heng hurriedly stepped aside, "Editor Gu, please come in, please come in." β
Just across the door, Aunt Liu seemed to be going out, and when she opened the door, she met Gu Xiao who came up. In her undisguised gaze, Zhou Heng greeted Gu Xiao and entered the living room. When I closed the door, I was relieved. It's just a beautiful woman, no matter what, it won't be this kind of Cheng dΓΉ who alarms the neighbors, right?
And Zhou Lu has already greeted her: "Sister in charge, good sister!" β
"Come, sit in the living room, Lulu, go pour a glass of water."
Gu Xiao followed Zhou Heng to the living room - in fact, there were no two steps. A house of about 60 square meters, the so-called living room, is just a crowded cubicle. Gu Xiao looked at Zhou Lu, who was pouring water, and asked, "This is Sister Ling?" β
"yes, you guys called GuΓ²."
"Are you the only two of you in your house?"
"yes, yes."
Gu Xiao nodded and didn't continue to ask. Before he had time to sit down, he opened the paper in his hand and was about to get down to business. Zhou Heng hurriedly said, "Editor, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's talk about the translation after we have eaten. β
