When he was almost at the exit, Liang Sheng hung up the phone and said in a melodious tone: "Look, I told you that I'm here to work. Why, did your partner send someone to pick you up? If not, I don't mind you. Get in my car!"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. The person in charge of our partner is already waiting for me outside." I glanced at him. Considering the request of the person in charge of the Korean side, it seemed inappropriate for Liang Sheng and I to walk out of the airport at the same time, so I subconsciously followed Liang Sheng distanced himself and added: "Let's go separately. Let the person in charge of the other party see me and think I brought an interpreter."
I sped up my pace, but Liang Sheng also sped up to catch up: "Is there a translator as handsome as me?"
I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, without looking at him seriously. As soon as I walked out, I saw a group of people waiting to pick up the plane outside the guardrail. Some were looking around with their mobile phones, and some were looking around with signs. I saw myself at a glance. name, leaving Liang Sheng aside and walking up quickly.
The man holding my name is almost the same as what Jian Xin described. He is a typical Korean man, with single eyelids and small eyes, a very fashionable hairstyle, fair complexion, and a formal suit. He is not particularly outstanding when standing in the crowd, but it is enough to attract many people. Take a few glances.
When the man saw me, he put down his sign and said to me in fluent Chinese: "Are you Shen Yan?"
I smiled and stretched out my hand, and replied in the broken Korean I learned temporarily: "Hello, I'm Ana Shen, nice to meet you."
"I'm Jin Chengen, welcome to Seoul, South Korea." The man suddenly switched to Korean. Fortunately, Jian Xin taught me a few commonly used greetings.
I had a hard time hearing this sentence. Immediately afterwards, Jin Chengen spoke another string of Korean words, and he spoke very fast. I didn’t understand a word. I only saw him gesture to the right, maybe Maybe he meant for me to go there with him and get on the bus.
I smiled and nodded, like a mute, unable to speak at all.
However, Jin Chengen was still talking to me in Korean. Before coming here, Zhong Kai said that it was difficult for me to communicate even in the most basic way. I thought I could at least communicate in English, so the situation was not too bad. Now It seems that I am indeed naive.
I smiled awkwardly and asked him in my not-so-fluent English: "Do you speak English?"
Jin Chengen suddenly stopped and looked at me with a suppressed smile. I felt bad when I saw his expression change. Sure enough, he answered me in English: "Your company is looking for us to cooperate. Why should we cooperate with you in speaking English?"
I immediately didn’t know how to answer. Jin Chengen looked at me and continued: "You can’t even speak Korean, why are you here? Does your company not value cooperation with us so much? In that case, what else is there? Negotiable?"
I bowed to him and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, it's my personal problem. The company attaches great importance to..."
"No need to say anything, Miss Shen, please come back." Jin Chengen directly made a sign of seeing off guests, crossed his hands, stood there naturally, and looked at me expressionlessly.
"Wait, Mr. Jin." I was still struggling, and just about to ask for a chance, someone suddenly came up behind me, stood shoulder to shoulder with me, and said, "Hi, Mr. Jin, long time no see."
Liang Sheng appeared in front of me with a smile and started a conversation with Jin Chengen in fluent English.
Jin Chengen said: "Hi, Mr. Liang, I'm so happy to see you. Are you here on business in Seoul again?"
Liang Sheng nodded: "Yes, let's talk about a very important project."
My English is only CET-4, and I don’t understand many professional vocabulary at all. I can only understand the general meaning of their conversations. Liang Sheng then said something in Korean, and the two started chatting directly in Korean.
I just felt awkward standing aside. Although Jin Chengen was here to pick me up, the two of them started chatting like old friends. And didn’t Liang Sheng leave with someone else’s car? Why are you here again
Just as he was embarrassed, Liang Sheng suddenly looked at me and spoke a short sentence in Korean with a questioning tone, probably asking who I was.
Jin Chengen showed a troubled expression and answered a long paragraph in a jittery voice. Liang Sheng just laughed and then said something else. Although I couldn't understand it, I could clearly feel that they were discussing me.
So I asked Liang Sheng in Chinese: "What are you talking about?"
Liang Sheng answered with a smile: "Mr. Jin told me that you were too stupid and not suitable for such a difficult job as talking about projects. I said a few good words for you, and he agreed to give you a chance. Shouldn't you Think about how you can repay me?"
I looked at him suspiciously, "He didn't say it for so long, you were just making it up."
Liang Sheng didn't take it seriously: "Forget it if you don't believe it."
"No, just help me and let him speak English to me." I made such an embarrassing request to Liang Sheng in an almost eager tone.
"Unless you sleep with me at night." Liang Sheng said such explicit words in front of Jin Chengen. I glanced at Jin Chengen nervously, and Liang Sheng added: "Don't worry, his Chinese is not good."
Seeing Jin Chengen frowning, he had no other choice at the moment. He had no choice but to take one step at a time. He gritted his teeth and agreed: "As long as you help me, I can do anything."
Liang Sheng smiled proudly, turned around and continued chatting with Jin Chengen. Jin Chengen's smile did not diminish when he faced Liang Sheng, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he enthusiastically led Liang Sheng and me forward, all the way out of the airport, in a car When the business car stopped, Jin Chengen made a gesture to invite me into the car. I was a little flattered and immediately said thank you in Korean.
As soon as I sat down, Liang Sheng followed me. I asked him in surprise: "Are you going to stay with us?"
Liang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "How about you do it alone?"
"Don't you still have a job?"
"If you lose your business, you will lose a little money at most. If you lose it, you will probably never get it back." Liang Sheng suddenly said this, which moved me beyond measure. I looked at him deeply and almost burst into tears. , but he added another sentence: "After all, there have been scandals. You have something going on in Korea, and I am very embarrassed."
Tears almost came out, and I retreated instantly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on me, and all the enthusiasm was extinguished.
Although he had a bit of a venomous tongue, I knew in my heart that he was really helping me, and even the 'work' he said was just a cover. Knowing that I was coming to Korea, he came here to protect me and help me.
Liang Sheng and I sat in the back seat, while Jin Chengen sat alone in the front seat. As soon as he got on the bus, he explained in English that he would take me to the hotel to check in first, and after we rested for a while, he would arrange for us to meet with the CEO of their company. .
In principle, my hotel was booked in advance by a Korean medicine company, while Liang Sheng's hotel should have been booked by Jin Chengen through a temporary phone call. It could be the same hotel, but it shouldn't be the same room. But when we arrived at the hotel, checked in, and the hotel staff took us to the room, we realized that there was only one room.
I couldn't understand what they were communicating in Korean, so I took the time to ask Liang Sheng: "Why is there only one room?"
Liang Sheng licked his lips and replied seriously: "It's good that they didn't kick you out. How do you expect to open a room for you?"
"." What he said seemed to make sense. Jin Chengen even asked me to leave at the airport, so why would he give me a room? But that's not right. Since you won't give me a room, why did you ask for my passport to register just now? An embarrassing thought vaguely appeared in my mind. Could it be that Liang Sheng and I were asked to share a room
Jin Chengen explained a few words and left.
Liang Sheng and I were the only two people left in the luxurious suite. I took a look at the facilities in the room, including modern decoration style, European luxury furniture, palace-style crystal chandeliers, and there seemed to be an oversized bathtub inside. I looked at Liang Sheng seriously, "Have you told them about our relationship?"
Liang Sheng shrugged nonchalantly, "Why do you say that?"
"Then why did Jin Chengen arrange for us to share a room?" I felt that he told Jin Chengen something about me at the airport before, otherwise Jin Chengen's attitude towards me would not have changed completely.
Liang Sheng put his hands in his pockets, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered casually: "If I were you, I wouldn't bother with these boring questions. You will meet the CEO of their company in half an hour. Are you sure you don't need to prepare any information?" ?”
