Reborn 1980: The little ancestor who became a rough educated youth

Chapter 65

"Okay, I see."

A junior has said so much. If he is any more timid, he will make people laugh.

Uncle Jiang pressed the finished cigarette butt into the ashtray and cheered up again.

"It's almost time, we should prepare for the next negotiation."

Glancing at his watch, Jiang Xieyuan reminded.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Jiang Xiao said, "Come in," and then a clerk pushed the door open.

"Director Lin, Minister Wen asked me to inform you that the negotiation will be held at 01:30 pm."

"In addition, Minister Wen will entertain foreign friends at the county government cafeteria at noon today. I hope Director Lin and Representative Jiang can attend to accompany him."

"I see."

Uncle Jiang nodded, and then frowned after the young clerk left.

This Minister Wen...

"It's so impressive. We didn't even discuss it. We immediately informed him who he thought I was!"

Uncle Jiang was already upset, and now his face was even more displeased.

"Uncle, please calm down the fire first. Minister Wen is here for negotiation and for the sake of the country."

Although Jiang Xieyuan didn't like socializing, he also knew that there were some necessary socializings that he couldn't shirk.

"It sounds like he is the only one who is dedicated to the country and is negotiating intensively, while the others are just doing the job?"

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, Uncle Jiang became even more angry.

In his view, this so-called Minister Wen was getting something for nothing.

He has already completed the preliminary work, and if he interferes again, it will be a waste of credit.

But Uncle Jiang couldn't help but be angry. This man was on his floor, but he didn't even have the most basic respect for him.

You know, the powerful dragon is not overpowering the local snake.

This Wen Renze is too arrogant.

"This……"

Jiang Xieyuan, a novice who has not yet officially stepped in, cannot comment on the overt and covert struggles among the leaders.

He could only ask directly: "Are you going to the final entertainment, uncle?"

"Go!" How can we not go?
Uncle Jiang gritted his teeth when he said this, "I am doing this all for cross-border cooperation, not to give face to that surnamed Wen!"

Okay, just go.

Obviously, Jiang Xieyuan is also used to his brother-in-law's occasional temper.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he said nothing more.

On the other side, the man named Wen was mentioned by Uncle Jiang.

At this moment, I was slowly changing clothes in the county guest house.

Obviously preparing for the noon entertainment.

While adjusting his shirt, Wen Renze was thinking about the gossip he just heard in the bathroom.

"Representative Jiang? Translator Xiao Jiang?"

As he whispered in his mouth, Wen Renze's expression became more and more serious.

This young man was the county government's external translator a few days ago.

How come he suddenly transformed into a technical negotiator in just a few days?
What's the trick in this?
"And between him and Director Lin..."

Thinking that after the negotiations were suspended just now, this so-called Representative Jiang actually entered Director Lin's office directly.

Wen Renze's brows furrowed even more.

There shouldn't be any ulterior motives between these two people, right?
One question after another lingers in my mind.

It was not until noon when Wen Renze entertained two foreigners for dinner that he directly named Jiang Xieyuan.

"I heard that Representative Jiang knows some foreign languages. He also worked as a translator in the county government before, and he is considered an old friend with two foreign friends."

Holding the wine glass, Wen Renze smiled with a businesslike look on his face, "It's hard for you to accompany us throughout this dinner today. Representative Jiang, please don't refuse."

Yes, all the big leaders have spoken out.

Even if Jiang Xieyuan wanted to run away midway, there was nothing he could do.

I could only sit at the dinner table the whole time, listening to the leaders' quips, and occasionally going back to my old job.

Act as a translator for a group of people. "Tsk..."

so busy!

As a transparent person, Xu Qiuqiu took one look at this posture.

Without hesitation, I made an excuse and ran away.

She had participated in this kind of entertainment in her previous life. After a meal, she would either be full of wine or her face would freeze with laughter.

This time, Xu Qiuqiu hid whenever she could.

She left the county guest house and walked to Aunt Li's small restaurant.

During this time, due to cross-border cooperation, Aunt Li sent away a lot less crab paste.

If the negotiation results go well, she may not have time anymore.

She had to go to Aunt Li to discuss what to do with the crab sauce business.

"It would be great if I could just sell the crab sauce and eat the profits."

Xu Qiuqiu silently calculated in her heart.

This crab roe sauce was originally a backup she left behind.

I thought to myself, if the overseas goods were not sold well, I would still be able to make some money.

Although it is only a dozen yuan per month, it is already a lot in this day and age.

At least, ordinary people dare not think about it.

"If I say that, I don't know if Aunt Li will agree?"

Xu Qiuqiu thought as she lowered her head and walked forward.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind.

"Girl of the Xu family, no...Qiuqiu, why are you here?"

"Ok?"

Xu Qiuqiu was lost in thought when someone suddenly struck up a conversation with her, and she was still a little unable to react.

She turned around and saw a neatly dressed woman looking at her with surprise.

"Ah, is it really you? I thought I made a mistake!"

"Auntie, may I ask who you are..."

Xu Qiuqiu was a little uncomfortable with the woman's inexplicable enthusiasm.

She took a step back and asked uncertainly, "Do we know each other?"

"Tsk, you girl, we haven't seen each other for a few years, why don't you recognize me?"

Hearing this, the woman looked blank and said, "I am your distant aunt. Speaking of which, we are still close relatives!"

Uh... aunt?

Xu Qiuqiu looked at the woman in front of her, who was only in her fifties or sixties.

She is not tall. She wears an earthy blue square scarf on her head and wears coarse cloth clothes of the same color.

It looks very plain.

But...does she know him?
Xu Qiuqiu had no impression of this woman.

She searched hard in her mind, hoping to find the right person.

After a long while, she said uncertainly: "You...are you Zhou Yinglan's mother?"

Uh...this girl is really rude.

Choking at Xu Qiuqiu's name, the woman laughed dryly and said, "You can say that, but when I was not married, I was your grandfather's distant cousin."

"Now that we, Yinglan, are marrying your second uncle, it can be considered as a close relationship."

"Oh……"

Knowing that this woman was from the Zhou family, Xu Qiuqiu had no expression at all.

But Mrs. Zhou's wife was completely unaware.

She looked Xu Qiuqiu up and down, looking for something to say, "Ah, Qiuqiu, you look so beautiful today. You were so far away just now that I didn't even dare to recognize you."

"Really? I probably have to go to the county to do business today, so I asked someone to borrow some clothes. You see something different."

Xu Qiuqiu is still not distracted.

She raised her hand to straighten her hair that was messed up by the wind, wanting to end this useless conversation as soon as possible.
