Spy War 1929

Chapter 16 Work
"Chen, I finally found your home!" Chen Ledao opened the door, and Sal Li and a woman stood outside the door.Seeing Chen Ledao, Sal Li almost burst into tears.

Chen Ledao didn't know why, so he looked at the two suspiciously, wondering what Saarley was messing with.Not counting his predecessor, this is his first time dealing with foreigners, and he is not familiar with the routines of foreigners, so he is a little confused.

"The two of us searched all the way here, you know, it's not easy to find here." Seeing Chen Ledao's puzzled look, the woman in a cheongsam explained with a smile, as if she had known Chen Ledao for many years.

She is a Chinese, wearing a decent cheongsam, her hair is coiled, and she is slim.Cheongsams with padded shoulders, double breasts and short sleeves are popular nowadays, and this person is wearing this kind of cheongsam.

Compared with Western women, Eastern women are slimmer. Wearing a decent cheongsam can not only show the graceful curves of women, but also bring out the feminine temperament of women.

Dignified and decent, generous and elegant.This cheongsam fits her perfectly.

Seeing the woman, Chen Ledao was a little puzzled. He didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Sal Li, so he could only look at Sal Li suspiciously.

Seeing that Chen Ledao's eyes fell on the woman, this guy was full of complacency, as if he was asking "Isn't she pretty?" What's going on in this guy's brain circuit?Chen Ledao felt more and more confused.

Obviously, the woman and Saarley would not be brother and sister, but probably their female companion. This guy just stands here and doesn't introduce him?

Fortunately, although this guy was complacent, he did not forget himself, "This is my wife, Wen Manru. She is Chinese just like you." Saarley said with a smile.

"Oh, Mrs. Salley, hello." Chen Ledao was stunned.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, Luo Lang said yesterday that you helped him a lot, and today we came here specially to visit." The woman stretched out her hands and whispered softly, giving Chen Ledao a feeling of being in the spring breeze.

The etiquette of French men and women when they meet is mostly face kissing, but both of them are Chinese, so there is obviously no need for this.Give it a light grip and release.

After welcoming the two into the house, Sal Li brought Chen Ledao a small gift, a bottle of red wine.This is a common etiquette when the French go to other people's homes, and they will bring some small gifts.

Chen Ledao knew this from the memories left by his previous life. He took the red wine to express his love. He didn't know much about red wine, but fortunately he had the memory of his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to say a few words of praise.

"Chen, your house is very clean, it doesn't look like a man's residence." This Sarley seemed a little careless, and was slightly different from the French people Chen Ledao knew from his memory.

"This is the house I rented. These are all cleaned by the landlord. It has nothing to do with me," Chen Ledao said with a smile, and brought the two of them up to the second floor.

The French are very talkative, and they are all good at socializing. So is Sally, and the three of them sat there chatting very happily.

Chatting and chatting, I forgot the time, let alone the meal time.

Don't expect Chen Ledao to be able to cook, otherwise he wouldn't have the audacity to eat in Uncle Zhang's pot.

The French like to entertain guests at home, so Chen Ledao can only fool around with Salley, saying that Chinese people always take their best friends out for dinner.Salley didn't know much about it, and was eventually limped by the fool.

Chen Ledao took the two of them to a western restaurant. Fortunately, Sa Li's wife was understanding and did not expose him.

Maybe she also saw through that Chen Ledao couldn't cook anymore.

"Chen, you just came here from China. I don't know what's going on in China? I heard that it doesn't look good." Sal Li asked Chen Ledao.He is a person who loves his motherland. Although he has been in Shanghai for many years, his love for his motherland has not diminished.

"The situation is not very good," Chen Ledao shook his head.

"When I left, the economic situation was very bad, many companies went bankrupt, and maybe there will be an economic crisis soon."

Not long ago, the economic crisis broke out in the United States, and the scope and impact were so wide that it was jaw-dropping.No one expected that the United States, whose economy was at its peak, would come here suddenly, which shocked the world and made a miserable mess for the American people who pursue freedom and peace.

The U.S. financial sector collapsed, stocks fell from the top to the abyss overnight, banks went bankrupt, companies went bankrupt, blood rained on Wall Street, and countless bosses jumped from tall buildings, experiencing bungee jumping without a safety rope.

What flows in the Mississippi River is no longer river water, but pure white milk. The fish in the river enjoy unprecedented treatment, calling God to finally open his eyes.

The impact of the economic crisis has swept the world, and Europe has suffered unprecedented shocks. France is still struggling, but it seems that it will not last long.

It is not because the boy sells his property that he left France because his predecessor changed his property, but because of careful consideration.Although it is considered a cheap sale, it is better than not selling at a low price later, and it can be regarded as a timely stop loss.

Sa Li was silent for a long time, perhaps because he was worried about the situation of the motherland, although Chen Ledao felt nothing in his heart, he also showed a heavy expression along with him.He couldn't lose the Frenchman's thigh no matter what.

The most relaxed one was Sal Li's wife, who stretched out her hand to hold Sal Li's hand to express comfort.Lao Sa sighed and said nothing.

"What about you, what are you going to do in Shanghai?" Sal Li turned to ask Chen Ledao.Although he is patriotic and is a figure in Shanghai, he is just a pawn in France, and it is not his turn to worry about these things.

Now that the topic is coming, Chen Ledao thought in his heart, knowing that the next step is to test his acting skills.

"I don't know, I'm confused," Chen Ledao shook his head with a worried look on his face.

"There are too many chambers of commerce in Shanghai, and there are many gangs. The original cakes have been cut away by others. It is too difficult for me to join in. I have been walking around in Shanghai these days, and I think it may not be me who is doing business in Shanghai. The best choice." Speaking of this, Chen Ledao laughed at himself.

"It was a coincidence that I met you in the dance hall yesterday. I went to get drunk to relieve my worries, but I didn't expect to meet you there." Chen Ledao shook his head and whispered, looking disappointed.

After hearing this, Saarley became silent, his eyebrows frowned, maybe he really regarded Chen Ledao as a friend, and he was thinking of a solution in his heart.

It was Sal Li's wife, Wen Man looked at Chen Ledao with a smile on his face, with a slight curvature on his mouth.But he didn't interrupt and sipped the red wine quietly.

She is obviously Sal Li's wife, but the intimacy between her and Sal Li is missing a bit of the intimacy that a husband and wife should have. Sal Li always treats her like a guest, and there is no intimacy between husband and wife.

This made Chen Ledao puzzled, not knowing what happened to these two people.

Wen Manru exudes the gentle temperament of a mature woman with every gesture. Unlike Fang Yanru who has met once, Fang Yanru can arouse the desire in a man's heart, and she is more charming than dignified.

But Wen Manru is only dignified and elegant, his appearance is not inferior to Fang Yanyun, but the temperament of the two is very different.

Chen Ledao made Wen Manru feel inexplicably guilty at that glance. This woman is full of intellectual beauty, which makes people subconsciously like her.But Chen Ledao was on the contrary, and felt that she seemed to see her little thoughts.Avoid it.

This woman is really strange.

"Chen, are you interested in working in the police station?" Salley thought for a while and said this sentence.

"I am mainly in charge of the political department in the patrol room. The political department has not long been established and is currently recruiting translators. If you are interested, you can come and apply for the job as an interpreter."

Salley said earnestly that his words had been carefully considered.If he hadn't hit it off with Chen Ledao, he might not have been like this. Although translation sounds like an idle job at first glance, it doesn't have much authority.But the real benefits are unimaginable to most people.

"Translation? Can you tell me more about it?" Chen Ledao didn't know the specifics of this translation, and it didn't sound like a good job.But he still had an interested look on his face.

"Chen, don't underestimate this position." Sa Li was not a fool, he seemed to see that Chen Ledao was being perfunctory.He straightened his face.

"Translation is usually mainly responsible for translating documents, such as some documents between your Chinese government and our authorities. These documents need to be translated into French, which should be very simple for you.

But that's not the most important thing, you know we French people love to socialize and life without it is unimaginable. "Saarley exaggerated, but it did match Chen Ledao's impression of the French in his memory.

"We often participate in various dance parties, but you know, not everyone can speak French and Chinese, so translators are needed at this time. There are not many people in Shanghai who are proficient in Chinese and French, so there are very few suitable translators. "

"Chen, you understand that those who participated in the ball are some big shots. You just returned to China, and you have no friends or connections. If you temporarily work as an interpreter, you will definitely be able to meet many people and make many friends." Saarley With a sincere face, Chen Ledao was a little embarrassed after hearing what he said.

Salley seemed genuinely trying to put himself in his shoes, but he seemed intent on taking advantage of the gringo.He is really "sinister".

Feeling embarrassed, but acting honestly.After listening to Saarley's explanation, Chen Ledao understood that this translation seems to be quite suitable for him, at least for now.

For the time being, he doesn't know the specific department of the political department that Saarley is in charge of. He only knows that the patrol room is equivalent to the police. As for what the political department of the patrol room does, he doesn't know.

"Thank you, Sal Li, I think there is nothing more suitable for me now than being an interpreter." Chen Ledao looked sincere.

Translation is not his goal, but he can use it to enter the patrol room system.

And compared to being a small patrolman who patrols the streets and encounters gangsters every day, the position of translator who can contact celebrities is more promising.

Seeing that Chen Ledao agreed, Sa Li was also very happy, happy to help his friend.He doesn't really have many friends in Shanghai, Chen Ledao who saved him yesterday is one of them.

As for Wen Manru, looking at the two chatting happily, she chuckled without speaking, and ate her food quietly.Elegant and independent.
