Chapter 32 Peace Hotel
Chapter 32 Peace Hotel
As soon as Li Kang and his team left, Fang Linxue's colleague came over and said in a sarcastic tone, "Mr. Li is quite interesting. He came out to do odd jobs and brought his family with him."
Fang Linxue's eyes were uncertain, which gave him a glimmer of hope to destroy Li Kang's image.
He then added: "He is a simultaneous interpreter with a high income, but he acts like a cheapskate who takes advantage of others. He has no vision at all."
This is actually quite poisonous.
"Okay, what Mr. Li does is his business. There's no need to gossip about him behind his back."
Fang Linxue turned around and walked back, and Yi Zian followed.
Li Kang thought that if he did this, he would definitely lose face in front of his colleagues.
Chen Xu looked at Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming with strange eyes from time to time.
The two boys kept exclaiming in the car and couldn't stop talking.
Anyone by his side could tell at a glance that he was a clay kid who had never ridden in a car.
"Brother Kang, look, the scenery outside is so beautiful."
All they saw were the buildings of various nations and the skyscrapers standing across the Huangpu River.
"What's so interesting about this."
The road they were walking on, Zhongshan East Road, was right next to the Bund.
"The rich people's Shanghai is in those houses, and the poor people can just watch the fun from outside."
ATT was quite generous and invited them to dinner at the Peace Hotel.
……
"A friend of mine recommended me to eat here. I heard it's pretty good. I hope you like it too."
The bosses around Tom were all curious about who that friend would be.
Of course they often come here to eat.
A few hundred yuan per person is not very expensive for them.
The boss who was following Tom quietly told his secretary, "When we have dinner later, go get in touch with the Chinese-English translator. You can work with him in the future."
There are many bosses like him.
Chen Xu got off the car first and arrived at the entrance of Peace Hotel. A staff member led them to a small private room.
Lin Meixia and her three companions squeezed together and still found some space.
Tom was also very generous and let them order their own food.
The two of them booked a private room.
He probably never dreamed that Li Kang would bring others to eat.
The waiter held a small notebook in his hand, waiting for customers to take orders.
Some of them are similar to the ordering mode in some fly-infested restaurants.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Chen Xu took the menu and said, "I want a bowl of mutton soup and a serving of sweet and sour pork tenderloin."
After ordering, he handed the menu to Li Kang, "Just order whatever you want."
Li Kang thought the food at the Peace Hotel would be quite expensive.
As it turns out, most of the dishes listed here only cost a few yuan or more than ten yuan.
Two or three dishes per person might cost only one or two hundred yuan.
I asked Chen Xu: "Brother Chen, can we order whatever we want? Are there any budget restrictions?"
"Don't worry, ATT doesn't care about this little money. How much does a meal cost?"
With his words, Li Kang felt confident and bold enough to call Lin Meixia and the others.
"Order whatever you want. Our boss will treat you."
At this moment, Li Kang's image became even greater in the hearts of Lin Meixia, Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming.
Who doesn’t love a big brother like Li Kang?
Liu Jun looked at Li Kang with great satisfaction, "This kid is a grateful person. It's worth the money I spent to buy him a nice suit."
He ordered himself a plate of the signature braised pork and large yellow croaker with pine nuts.
A serving of large yellow croaker with pine nuts costs only over fifty yuan.
Li Kang knew that in the modern times where he lived, a serving of yellow croaker would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
"Is your yellow croaker farmed or wild?"
"Sir, you are joking. There is no such thing as farmed yellow croaker nowadays. They are all caught directly from the sea. Don't worry."
Take advantage of the cheap wild yellow croaker at this time and eat as much as you can.
"How big is this fish?" "About five or six pounds."
Five or six kilograms are enough for them to eat.
Lin Meixia and her friends don’t like eating fish very much either. People from Yunnan generally don’t like eating fish very much.
The dishes they ordered also reflected this point.
Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, beef with mushroom and oyster sauce,
There are also dry-fried prawns that I rarely eat.
"You guys should order something more expensive, why are all the dishes like this?"
"Brother Kang, I can't find what I want to eat."
"Just tell them what you want to eat."
Zhang Yiming then said in a glutinous tone: "I want to eat cold-mixed pig ears. Do you have any?"
"Yes~."
"What about twice-cooked pork?"
"Also."
After ordering the dishes, the waiter asked them what they would like to drink.
Lin Meixia and the other two said almost in unison: "Coca-Cola."
Hearing this, Liu Jun covered his face and felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Xu looked at the children who seemed to have never seen the world with great interest, and wondered curiously, "Li Kang is very capable, well-spoken, and has a good temperament, so how did he have these friends?"
Just after they ordered, several people knocked on the door of their private room.
"Excuse me, is this the private room for the two translators to dine in?"
But when I walked in, I realized something was wrong. Aren’t there two simultaneous interpreters?
Why are there so many people in the room?
"Did you go the wrong way?"
"No, I asked around, it's in this private room."
"Excuse me, who are the two simultaneous interpreters for today's meeting?"
Chen Xu took the initiative to wave to the people who came in, "It's me."
After working in this industry for a few years, I certainly know what these people mean when they come to me.
The opportunity to make money has come again.
As long as you are famous, you don’t have to worry about not making money.
Chen Xu took the initiative to hand over his business card.
"Mr. Chen Xu? Hello. I am the assistant to the chairman of Bird Corporation."
Several other people also handed over their business cards.
……
"I have been working in this field for nearly ten years. I graduated from Shanghai International Studies University with a major in English. I am good at Chinese-English translation, English-Chinese translation, and simultaneous interpretation. I have done many translation jobs for the government. I am also a member and executive member of the Shanghai Translators Association."
Chen Xu has an extremely rich resume. From the shocked looks on the faces of these secretaries, one can tell that his ability must be very high.
Unfortunately, no one has the idea to explore it further.
They were all thinking, “Isn’t this the translated sound in that English translation?”
"Mr. Chen, you are doing English-Chinese translation, right? Where is the other Chinese-English translator? Is he here?"
"You're looking for me?"
The waiter then brought him the iced grape juice, Liu Jun's iced apple juice, and Lin Meixia's Coca-Cola.
Li Kang picked it up and took a sip, letting out a comfortable cry.
Ah ~
When the secretaries saw Li Kang appear, they all ran over and rushed to hand over their business cards.
"Sir, can you please see my business card? I am Xu Hong, secretary to the chairman of Bird Corporation."
"I am Wang Tao, secretary to the general manager of Blue Sky Company."
……
Chen Xu looked at the secretaries who had just been in contact with him, and saw that they all ran to Li Kang, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
I had already secretly hated Li Kang in my heart.
Please read and collect my new book, the data is too bad and it will be lost.
