Looking at He Yi who was still facing the sky, she was a little speechless.

He Yi did see the cosmetics, but didn't think much about it, it turned out that they were also prepared for her.

"Oh, I'll do my makeup then."

"Well, hurry up. The meeting starts at ten o'clock. The representatives from the United States live here, and they will be very punctual."

"Yeah." He Yi hurried into the room again.

He Yi seldom puts on makeup, and usually isolates herself a little, so she is not very proficient in makeup. Just put some foundation on the face, put on some lipstick, and it's considered makeup.

He Yi went out again, although the assistant felt that He Yi's makeup was not very good, but there was no time, so he had to take He Yi there.

Why returned to the meeting room again, Jiang Sheng glanced at her, "How about English? Can you explain in English?"

He Yi blushed, "No."

"How is your English?" Jiang Sheng turned to the boss and director.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties who basically doesn't know any English. The director is also in his fifties and he can't speak English either.

"At our age, we have been in China for a long time, and we are not familiar with English. The manager of the department we prepared to come here is a returnee, and his English is very good." The boss quickly explained that the company was very well prepared at the beginning.

Jiang Sheng nodded when he heard the words, raised his hand to look at his watch, and looked at He Yi, "Tell me about it in ten minutes, can you?"

He Yi was a little confused, "No way."

"Generally, let's talk about the core content in a nutshell." Jiang Sheng explained.

"Okay, let me tell you something."

He Yi took the materials, picked out the key points, and roughly explained it to Jiang Sheng.

"I'll be with you in a while, and I'll translate for you." Jiang Sheng said after listening.

"Oh, good." He Yi nodded, then looked at the boss.

"I'll listen to Mr. Jiang's arrangements." The boss said quickly after seeing He Yi looking over.

He Yi nodded.

Jiang Sheng and He Yi discussed the specific translation method. Not long after the discussion between the two, several representatives of the American company arrived in the meeting room.

Jiang Sheng got up and greeted them. After the pleasantries, the formal meeting begins. He Yi Company is one of the suppliers of Jiang Sheng Company, and this meeting is mainly for people from Jiang Sheng Company to discuss with the other party. He Yi and other suppliers only need to give an explanation when discussing the technical part.

Jiang Sheng and others kept talking to each other in English, but He Yi couldn't understand. When he arrived at He Yi, Jiang Sheng looked over and motioned for He Yi to go to the explaining platform. He Yi got up quickly, and Jiang Sheng followed.

He Yi explained in Chinese, and Jiang Sheng began to translate after finishing a paragraph. When Jiang Sheng translated, he would also mark the places that He Yi had marked with the mouse during the explanation.

In this way, He Yi narrated a paragraph, and Jiang Sheng translated a paragraph, and it took about half an hour to finish the lecture.

After He Yi finished speaking, he returned to his place, and Jiang Sheng also returned to his place to continue the meeting.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when the meeting ended, and Jiang Sheng invited everyone to have lunch. A group of people moved into the restaurant box, which is a large round table for 20 people, and there are 19 of them, which can just fill the table. He Yi followed her boss and director.

Everyone sat down and chatted. Mike, the leader of the US representative, sat with Jiang Sheng. He said with a smile: "Every time I come to China, I like Chinese food the most."

He Yi was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but look over, thinking in his heart that this person can speak Chinese

Probably because He Yi's eyes were too hot, Jiang Sheng and Mike looked over at the same time. He Yi quickly lowered her head, pretending that nothing happened just now.

"I like China very much, so I can speak a little bit of Chinese, but my partner can't speak Chinese." Mike took the initiative to explain.

He Yi looked up again and smiled, "I'm just a little surprised."

"It is generally customary to use English in meetings with Americans." Jiang Sheng followed up with an explanation.

"Yeah." He Yi nodded and didn't say any more.

Jiang Sheng and Mike didn't say any more, they turned their gazes back, and the two started chatting.

After a while, the dishes began to be served. Jiang Sheng took the lead in toasting, and everyone had a drink. There is only one woman, He Yi, at this table, and there is only wine on the table. He Yi doesn't drink alcohol, although she raises her glass, the wine glass only touches her lips, not a drop of alcohol.

He Yi is not the main character, not even a supporting role, she's just an idler. So she ate quietly, neither talking to her boss nor the people next to her.

He Yi has been eating vegetables, it is a little salty, but there is no water to drink. The tea in the water glass has been drunk, and she doesn't touch the wine at all. She didn't want to draw attention and didn't ask the waiter to refill the water. She simply stopped her chopsticks, since she could go back after the meal anyway, she had already eaten a few mouthfuls of food, she was not so hungry, and she was going to eat after going back.

After He Yi put down his chopsticks, he had nothing to do and began to look at the people on the table. Everyone was chatting in twos and threes. Both Jiang Sheng and Mike smiled like a spring breeze.

At this time, Jiang Sheng waved, and the waiter went over. Jiang Sheng said something to the waiter, and the waiter nodded and went out. Jiang Sheng continued to chat with Mike.

After a while, the waiter brought over a pinch of freshly squeezed juice, poured a glass for everyone, and put the rest on the table for everyone to take by themselves. He Yi couldn't help but glance at Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng didn't even give her a look.

After having juice, He Yi continued to eat. The boss sat next to He Yi, and after He Yi finished drinking the juice, he helped her pour the juice once and filled a bowl of soup. He Yi didn't put down her chopsticks until she was full. The boss helped her take a few pieces of fruit and put them on her plate.

Only He Yi was the one who actually ate at the wine table, and everyone else chatted while drinking, occasionally moving their chopsticks. He Yi ate and drank enough, everyone was chatting in full swing.

Jiang Sheng and Mike talked about Chinese chess, and the people next to them echoed a few words.

"Chess is the quintessence of your country. Many men are good at it. What about women? Do you like it as much as men?" Mike said.

There was only one lady, He Yi, on the table. Jiang Sheng looked over and said, "Miss He, can you play chess?"

Although He Yi was surprised that Jiang Sheng would talk to her, he still responded politely, "A little bit."

"How much is one point?" Mike asked this time.

"My family, my uncle, including my father, my cousins and younger brothers, they all know how to play, so I have been with them since I was a child, and I know a little bit. But my level is not good, that is, I know how to play. Under the hands of my uncle and brothers I can't walk a few steps." He Yi replied.

"That is to say, your entire family will basically know it." Mike asked with great interest.

"Basically, they are all at an ordinary level, and there are no masters."

"No wonder people say that chess is the quintessence of China." Mike sighed.

"Because chess is suitable for all ages, like in the park, or under a certain tree in the neighborhood, there are uncles playing chess everywhere. There are also uncles and brothers in my family, and they often play a game after dinner." He Yi took over the words.

"Since your family likes it, do you know what the Chuhe Hanjie on the chessboard means?"

"A common saying is that when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for hegemony, neither side could annex the other, so the gap between Xingyang and Xingyang was used as a boundary to form a situation where the two armies faced each other. However, Chinese chess has already appeared in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, but it is different from the present The pattern and rules of chess are different, so it can only be regarded as the predecessor. It has been evolving continuously for two thousand years, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was basically the same as modern chess." He Yi expressed her opinion.

"No wonder chess is so popular in your country. Ms. He knows so much about chess." Mike praised.

"This is what the teacher would say when I was studying, and everyone is basically familiar with it." He Yi smiled.

"Miss He is too modest." Another man at the wine table took up the conversation.

He Yi smiled and said nothing.

Mike was not obsessed with chatting with He Yi, he continued talking with Jiang Sheng.

Chapter 8

After the meal, everyone bid farewell to each other, and the boss director took He Yi to prepare to go back. He Yi looked at the clothes on her body. She came out to play and only brought a very small bag, which couldn't fit her clothes. She put her clothes in that room and was going to change them back after the meeting.

At this time, she hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, my clothes haven't changed yet."

"I'll take you to find Jiang Sheng's assistant." The director took the words.

"thanks."

Jiang Sheng's assistant went out before finishing his meal and was not in the box at this time. The director contacted him, and then took He Yi to find him.

The assistant gave the key card to He Yi, "Go over and change it yourself, I can't leave now. Just give the key card to the front desk after changing it."

"it is good."

"He Yi, go and change your clothes. The boss and I will wait for you in the lobby." The director said. He Yi was a girl who went to change clothes, but he, a big man, was inappropriate.

"No need, you and the boss can go first, I will go back by myself." He Yi declined.

"It's okay, we're going back to the city too, and we'll take you back along the way. Go and change quickly."

"Okay." He Yi didn't refuse anymore, and hurried to the room.

After He Yi changed his clothes, he folded them neatly and put them on the bed. She wondered what to do if she didn't wash it after wearing it, and then thought that maybe the clothes were worn by other people and didn't wash them. Taking it easy to build up her mind, she thought it would take an hour to go back to the city, so she went to the bathroom. When I washed my hands, I found that my face was greasy. There were toiletries prepared by the hotel on the sink, so I simply washed my face.

When He Yi closed her eyes and rubbed her face, someone opened the door and came in. She was shocked, "Who?"

It's a pity that her face is full of bubbles now, and her eyes can't be opened, so He Yi hurriedly lowered her head and washed her face.

"It's me, Jiang Sheng. You wash slowly, I didn't know someone was in there. I'm sorry." After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he went out and closed the door for He Yi.

He Yi hurriedly washed off the bubbles on her face, and then went out.

This is a suite, when He Yi went out from the bathroom of the bedroom, there was no one in the bedroom. She went to the living room outside, where Jiang Sheng sat on the sofa.
