Chapter 38 Unexpected Gift
Chapter 38 Unexpected Gift
Li Kang took a can of iced soda from the refrigerator in the hall where they had afternoon tea.
After going downstairs, he walked towards where Fang Linxue was.
It just so happened that she had just escorted a group of guests into a Toyota MPV and closed the door.
"How many more people are you going to send off? It's so hot, have a cold drink."
Fang Linxue was quite happy to see that it was Li Kang who came. "Thank you, great translator. But I can't drink ice today."
"Ah? Why?" Li Kang was a little dumbfounded at first, but when he saw Fang Linxue's shy expression, he immediately realized what was going on.
"Oh, that's it. I'll get you a bottle of room temperature."
"No thanks. Are you coming down to leave?"
She saw Meixia waiting for Li Kang behind him, holding the things she brought with her, and it was obvious that she was about to leave.
"Yes, we still have to go..."
Suddenly the door behind me opened.
"i hola! Seor Li (Hello, Mr. Li)."
The people behind were surprised, which frightened Fang Linxue. Her high heels tilted and she accidentally fell into Li Kang's arms.
Li Kang hurriedly hugged Fang Linxue. He could feel the other's soft body between his fingers, which aroused the flame in his young body.
With Li Kang's help, Fang Linxue stood firmly and broke away from his arms.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you, and thank you."
"fine."
Greeting Mr. Felipe behind her, "hola, Felipe."
This man was the only Spaniard he knew.
“You are in this car.”
Fang Linxue took the initiative to move aside to make room, and Li Kang started talking to Felipe fluently in Spanish.
"I'm about to leave China. Thank you for your translation today. It saved me a lot of trouble." The Spanish translator he had booked had something urgent to do and couldn't come, causing him a lot of trouble.
I almost missed many important collaborations because of this.
"It's my job to serve you."
To express his gratitude, Felipe said, “This is our Spanish specialty ham, which you call Iberian ham here.”
Li Kang was given two pieces at once.
Li Kang thought, "Do you bring local specialties from your hometown when you are on a business trip?" It was not convenient for him to ask, but since the other party had given it to him, it would be better for him to accept it.
“Gracias (Thank you)!”
"There are also two bottles of red wine produced by our Spanish winery. Please accept them as well."
Li Kang took a look and found that it was quite good.
As a foreign language student, I drank a lot of red wine in my previous life.
Of course the red wine Felipe sent was not the 1982 Lafite, which is produced in the Lafite region of France and has nothing to do with Spain.
But these two bottles of red wine are also top-notch, and are only available in the special cru appellation.
The old wine producing regions in the Old World like to come up with some weird hierarchy systems and label things.
But it does have some use, and good things can be recognized at a glance.
The four things Felipe gave have little market in mainland China at present, and their value is difficult to judge, but in a few decades, they will be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The foreigner was also very honest. After giving Li Kang a gift, he left.
"What's this man's name? Felipe? Isn't that Mr. Philip?"
Fang Linxue studied English before and couldn't understand Spanish because the pronunciation of the two languages was quite different.
"His name is quite common in Spain."
"You gave me so many things, it's hard for me to take them all away, so I'll give you a ham and a bottle of red wine." Li Kang gave half of it. It happened that the red wine and ham had separate packaging, which should have been designed before he came as gifts.
When Li Kang attended some large international conferences in the past, the hosts would prepare some gifts in advance for the guests from various countries.
The packaging is very exquisite.
He also had a share. Fang Linxue waved her hand quickly, "I don't need it, this is a gift from him."
"Miss Fang, you helped me a lot today, so just give me a chance to thank you.
This is not enough to repay you for helping me."
Then after being rejected twice, Fang Lin Xue happily accepted it the third time.
There was no sign of unwillingness at all, "She's quite arrogant."
Li Kang was also sure that the foreigners' things were attractive enough, and although Fang Linxue said no, her eyes hardly left the two things in his hands.
"Be careful when you go back so that your things won't be taken away by your colleagues," Li Kang reminded.
Fang Linxue chuckled, "They will thank you." She planned to take it back and share it with her colleagues, and at the same time help promote Li Kang's reputation.
"By the way, have you forgotten something?" Fang Linxue looked at him with a smile on her face.
"What? What else?" Seeing Fang Linxue looking at his waist, he touched it and found that the pager was still there.
……
"She's quite arrogant! She has to ask me for it. Doesn't she know how to give it to me on her own initiative?"
It's quite rare to see a girl like Fang Linxue who has not completely lost her campus youth after graduation. You can only see it in foreign companies.
When I returned to the main group, I had two more boxes of things in my hands.
"Brother Kang, how come every time you go to see Sister Fang Linxue, you have one more thing in your hand?"
Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming, two curious people, snatched the things from his hands and opened them to take a look.
"It's a pig's leg? Does Sister Fang Linxue's family raise pigs?"
Zhang Yiming unpacked a bottle of red wine and said, "What is this? A red drink with English written all over it."
Li Kang said unhappily, "You two, you've never seen it before, take it back with you. That's Spanish, not English."
"Also, that's not pork leg, it's ham. And it wasn't given by your sister Fang Linxue."
Li Kang asked Liu Lang to hold the ham by himself, since this guy had torn the packaging apart.
Liu Lang was about to cry. He regretted opening the package and was now under a lot of pressure.
Even if the package was not opened, Li Kang would not let the two young laborers go, and it was impossible for him to mention it.
Even his clothes were given to Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming each to take a set.
He held nothing in his hands.
Liu Jun was a connoisseur of value, and he told Liu Lang: "Hold it well and don't drop it, this thing is very expensive.
Thanks to you, Brother Kang, we will have a good meal tonight."
I was secretly glad that I followed Li Kang here, as I had a free high-quality lunch and afternoon tea.
……
When Liu Jun came out of the mall, he had a box on his shoulder, which contained a color TV worth more than two thousand yuan.
Li Kang also held a rectangular box in his hand, which was called a Subor Learning Machine. It looked a bit like a computer keyboard.
But the one Li Kang bought has a card slot on the front.
While Liu Jun was choosing a TV, Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming were playing on the game console next to them.
The boss deliberately placed it in this position, and almost every child can't walk when they see the game.
The thing in Li Kang's hand is not cheap. It is equivalent to one or two months' salary of an ordinary person, more than 500 yuan.
I spent a few dozen dollars to buy a few pirated game cartridges.
At the moment of payment, Li Kang was like Almighty God in the eyes of Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming.
Everyone was a little tired and bought a lot of things.
"Uncle, can you buy the car we took today? Walking is so tiring~" Liu Lang squatted on the ground, holding a big ham in his hand.
"You're dreaming! You can't afford that car even if you sell your uncle."
