There was a hint of coolness on Su Ling's face: "She was discharged from the hospital?" ”

"I only hurt my palm, and I was discharged from the hospital a long time ago." Li Tianjue said, and then scooped up Su Ling's slender waist and hugged it in front of his eyes.

"If you don't want to see her, we won't go."

"Why not? It seems like I'm stingy. Su Ling broke free of Li Tianjue's hand, picked up the translation with the folder and walked out.

Li Tianjue smiled, and the two got into the car together. Qi Meihui's birthday banquet was in a private mansion in the suburbs, Su Ling had been here last time, and now that she has arrived, she seems to be familiar with the road.

However, there are especially many people who have come here today, dignitaries and dignitaries, and they are dressed in ceremonial clothes. After all, the Simon family is an old aristocrat that lasts for a hundred years, and in the imperial capital, there is no wealthy family with a longer history than the Simon family.

Therefore, for Qi Meihui's birthday banquet, almost all the people in the upper circle came. Except for Ann's. Qi Meihui saw Su Ling and Li Tianjue appear holding hands, as enthusiastic as ever.

She whispered hello to the people around her, and then hurried over: "Xiao Su Ling, long time no see!" As she spoke, she hugged Su Ling.

The refreshing fragrance came to his nose, mixed with some indescribable tastes, which inexplicably made Su Ling feel a strong sense of dependence.

"Auntie, you smell so good." Su Ling sighed. Qi Meihui smiled,

"I'm wearing perfume." Su Ling explained,

"It's not just perfume."

"Oh?" Qi Meihui frowned slightly, joking wittily,

"Did you smell the leeks I ate this morning?"

"No, it's not." Su Ling laughed, and he didn't know which tendon didn't match, so he blurted out,

"It tastes like a mother." Qi Meihui was stunned, and her pupils suddenly turned red. Seeing this, Su Ling was embarrassed: "I'm sorry Auntie, I said this a little abruptly. "Hey!

What's going on with you? It felt like she was deliberately climbing the relationship. can testify to God, the few times she has been in contact with Qi Meihui, she just feels that the other party has a natural sense of intimacy.

Qi Meihui held back the soreness in her eyes, looked at Li Tianjue, and seemed to be full of emotion. She shook her head and solemnly squeezed Su Ling's little hand,

"Where's the abruptness? You can say that, it's too late for me to be happy! As she spoke, she beckoned in one direction, and a middle-aged man stepped out of the crowd.

He was dressed in a luxurious handmade suit, was very tall, had an exotic appearance, and his eyes were particularly good-looking.

It's the kind of handsomeness that makes you amazing at first glance. But it's not just handsome on the surface, but also a deep sense of experience.

For a while, Su Ling was a little confused, who was more attractive compared to Li Tianjue. Approaching, Qi Meihui took his arm and introduced: "Su Ling, this is my husband, Ximen Xiao." Su Ling stretched out his arm and greeted obediently: "Hello uncle." Ximen Xiao shook hands with Su Ling shallowly, and then looked her up and down.

The sense of nobility naturally exudes, high up, but soft, not annoying.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and smiled, "Hello child." As soon as he spoke, there was a sense of intimacy, and Su Ling's heart was warm.

Li Tianjue said on the side: "Last time we came over, we didn't see my uncle. Actually, it's long overdue. Ximen Xiao explained: "There was something wrong last time, and I haven't come out of the study yet, and it's not too late to see it now." In the future, I will bring her to play at home more often, and I will be familiar with it. After the words fell, the assistant suddenly stepped forward to report: "Master, Miss Susan is here, waiting for you at the door to go out to pick her up." Simon Xiao's eyes lit up,

"I'll go right over." I don't know if it's an illusion, the voice that Simon Xiao called out just now

"Little friend", Su Ling felt that he liked himself. But his performance at the moment made Su Ling think that he seemed to welcome Susan more.

Su Ling felt an inexplicable sense of loss, but after a moment's relief, he felt ridiculous. She just met Simon Xiao today, a strange elder, why be jealous?

After Ximen Xiao left, Qi Meihui rolled her eyes and scolded

"Virtue". Immediately afterwards, Ximen Ye walked out with Xiao Kai from the back room, and the little guy saw Su Ling, and a bear hugged and pounced.

"Sister Su Ling, when did you come? Don't tell me a word! Su Ling had long been accustomed to the sudden enthusiasm of the little curly, picked him up, put him down after a while, and said, "Fat." Xiao Kai was not angry: "I just deliberately ate fat, so I can protect you in the future!" Su Ling: "??? Later? Ximen Ye immediately glared at Xiao Kai, and the little guy quickly swallowed the words in his heart and hid behind Qi Meihui.

Qi Meihui smiled,

"Ye'er, you and Tianjue will help me entertain customers, and I will take the two children to rest." Only then did Su Ling notice Qi Meihui's ten-centimeter high heels, she must have been tired after standing for so long.

Xiao Kai held her hand: "Mom, I'll help you go over to rest with Sister Su Ling!" So, the two of them walked towards the rest area, one left and one right, supporting Qi Meihui.

Judging from the back, the three of them are extremely adaptable, like a mother leading a pair of children. Just sat down. Su Ling saw Li Zhenting chatting with an elderly bald man.

Probably too involved, I didn't realize that Su Ling was not far away. The bald man said with a thorn: "...... Old man Li, what I gave you is already the lowest price. At your worth, is 100 million still too expensive? Qi Meihui whispered to Su Ling and bit her ears,

"The bald man is a veteran of the translation industry, a professor, surnamed Zhang. Zhenting has a book to be translated into foreign languages and sold abroad, and he has always said it well, 30 million per book. But Professor Zhang repented in a blink of an eye, and actually sat on the ground and asked for 100 million! Su Ling was stunned.

It turned out that Li Zhenting had never believed in himself. Although I have given the original book to my own translation, I am still looking for more professional people to help.

The five million translation fees promised to her at the beginning, Su Ling felt that it was quite high. However, five million and thirty million are simply a stark comparison!

Li Zhenting took a deep breath and was patient: "Lao Zhang, the cooperation between you and me has been going well, and I have never treated you badly." 30 million is a good word, and you almost signed the contract, but you temporarily repented, isn't this deliberately making me lose face? Professor Zhang smiled: "Old man Li, I heard that there is a little girl in charge of your translation?" Let her help you! Li Zhenting's face changed,

"She can't! How can she have your experience?! If you think 30 million is less, I'll raise it to 50 million for you! Li Zhenting really had no choice but to make concessions.

"100 million, I won't do anything less!" Professor Zhang's tone was non-negotiable.

"You're ......!" Li Zhenting tightened his face and gritted his teeth,

"Lao Zhang, you and I have been friends for many years, why do you only recognize money and not people? Were you bought by Ann's people? Professor Zhang took a sip of champagne and continued to laugh,

"Old man, I won't hide it from you, An Dongyao did find me and asked me to be his royal translator, and the price is also high. But I've worked with you many times, and my heart is still on you. It's up to you to see if you're so sincere to me. Li Zhenting was annoyed and angry, extremely faceless, but he was deliberately suppressing!

"Lao Zhang, whose translator can get 100 million? You are driving up prices, and the circle will be messed up by you! Do you think you're worth 100 million? Professor Zhang raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly: "If you are unwilling to give, it does not mean that An is unwilling!" I see, you'd better let that inexperienced little girl help you! He laughed when he finished speaking, both mocking and teasing.

Qi Meihui listened and sighed.

"Professor Zhang is just falling into the ground, there are not many people who support Shock, there are not many people who support Anton Yao, the election is imminent, no one dares to bet on him, let alone invest. What's more, the book was just to win international support, and if the translation was not good, it was easy to go wrong, and no one dared to take it. Only Professor Zhang has the guts! That's why he can easily handle the shock. Su Ling didn't understand: "The old man is quite rich, doesn't 100 million mean to take it?" Qi Meihui explained: "Then you don't know Professor Zhang's character!" If you want 100 million this time, you can ask for 100 million next time! How could the thunder come from him? Professor Zhang over there looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he didn't do it: "Anyway, I said that 100 million is 100 million!" The old man should be well aware of the importance of this book for your election! Looking at the entire imperial capital, except for me, no one dares to take this job! As soon as the words fell, an arrogant voice suddenly came: "Who said that no one dared to answer?" ”
