You Tong frowned in annoyance, put down the phone and got back into bed, but not long after, the phone rang again. She grabbed a pillow and covered her ears with some irritability, not wanting to pay attention to it, but the phone kept shouting and was harsh.
It was so bad that she had no choice but to crawl out of bed again and answer the call again.
"Hello?!"
The other party hung up again
You Tong blinked, confused, thinking back to whether she had forgotten something when she checked into the hotel, or whether there were some special customs and habits in France that she didn't know about, so she got such a strange call.
But after thinking about it, I still don’t have an answer.
She put down the phone and lay down again, but her sleepiness was far away. She suffered from insomnia for a while, and finally she couldn't resist the fatigue and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, she went downstairs to have breakfast with Rong Chen in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Rong Chen was in high spirits and had obviously slept well. In comparison, she seemed a little out of sorts.
"Xiaotong, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?!" Rong Chen asked with concern
"Uh..." You Tong hesitated, wanting to ask him if he had received any harassing calls in his room, but he swallowed the words as he thought it was a bit rude, so he had to say instead, "Probably.
It’s because I haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet.”
"Well, there is a seven-hour time difference between China and France. It is inevitable that you will not adapt to it all of a sudden. Ask the waiter to prepare some aromatherapy tonight. Lavender has the best smell and can help you sleep."
You Tong nodded and continued to eat breakfast
After the meal, Mr. Mark, the director of Luofei Company, came with his assistant, and the two parties sat down to start formal business exchanges.
Rong Chen spoke French fluently, and she had a conversation with Mr. Mark. You Tong understood only a little bit of what she was hearing, but she was still highly concentrated. She held the document in her hand and was mentally prepared at all times, thinking that if there was a need for her to speak,
, you must also perform well
Sure enough, Mr. Mark seemed to be deliberately testing and asked her two questions. Fortunately, You Tong was prepared. She answered with a smile, a light but powerful female voice hovering in the air, answering perfectly, although she spoke
The speed of her French was not very fast, but it sounded very comfortable. Mr. Mark nodded and praised her repeatedly, and Rong Chen couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
When she spoke, her beautiful eyes looked even brighter because of her seriousness, her pink lips were coated with a light layer of lip gloss, and her beautiful face only had a touch of professional makeup. Her elegant and refined appearance was stunning.
My eyes light up
The one-hour and forty-minute meeting was spent in a pleasant atmosphere. Mr. Mark and his assistant stood up to leave. You Tong said goodbye politely, but Mr. Mark suddenly bowed at 90 degrees and extended his hand towards her.
Asking for a kiss on the hand, You Tong's face suddenly turned red, but she still slowly handed over her hand according to French etiquette. Mr. Mark placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand, "Nice to meet you, You Tong."
Goodbye, miss"
You Tong raised her lips and smiled, "I am also honored to meet Mr. Mark. Goodbye."
Mr. Mark and his assistant left with a smile. You Tong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally nothing went wrong!
You accidentally raised his eyes and found Rong Chen looking at him playfully. You Tong was startled and asked softly, "Did I do something wrong?!"
Rong Chen shook his head quickly, "No, no, your performance is so good. Your calm and unhurried look just now shocked even me. Xiaotong, have you really only learned French for half a month?!"
You Tong was a little embarrassed by what he said, and replied humbly, "What I said are all the simplest sentences, memorized by rote."
"Your memory is really amazing!"
You Tong suddenly remembered that when she first joined the company, she was severely criticized by Rong Yuchi in front of everyone because she made a mistake in the quarterly report. Her heart trembled slightly. Time flies so fast. It has been so long in the blink of an eye.
Rong Chen suddenly sighed again, "Xiaotong, you are such a wonderful flower!"
You Tong slowly raised his lips and smiled nonchalantly.
What's so weird about her? She just works harder than others.
Growing up, she had to rely on her own hard work to achieve everything. When she was young, she lived in Tainan, where the people were simple and honest. For an incomplete family like hers, people would always criticize her. She used her best
Good grades, the most awards, the highest praise, to cover up my inner... inferiority complex
She always thought that hard work could buy everything, but in the year of the college entrance examination, she knew that sometimes hard work was also a mistake.
In the days that followed, she hesitated, hesitated, flinched, and even wanted to give up. However, hard work had become her habit and her only motivation to survive. It didn't matter to feel inferior, but giving up on oneself was the most pitiful thing.
She swallowed all the tears and grievances, regained her composure, re-entered college, studied the major she liked, and did the job she liked. Along the way, she cried and laughed.
She felt a little sad for no reason, and there was a thin layer of mist in her eyes, but she didn't know it
But her tenacious look was fixed in Rong Chen's eyes, and her smile with tears broke into his mind and lingered for a long time.

After the work matters came to an end, Rong Chen proposed to take You Tong around Paris. You Tong thought that it was rare for him to go out of the country once, just for shopping, so he nodded and agreed.
They did not go to any famous attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, but went to the mall. You Tong was thinking about buying a gift for her mother. Although she knew that her mother was lacking in everything, this was her first time abroad, so she still wanted to
Buy a souvenir for mom
Many men don't like shopping, but Rong Chen is very patient. He looks around with her and gives suggestions from time to time, "Xiaotong, I think this skirt is suitable for you."
You Tong looked in the direction of his finger and immediately shook his head, "I didn't buy it for myself, I wanted to give it to others."
"Oh?! Who do you want to give it to?!" Rong Chen has received a good education since he was a child. He has no intention of inquiring into people's privacy. He just wants to ask so that he can help her for reference.
You Tong moved the corners of his lips and said with difficulty, "To...my relatives."
Her dearest person in this world
Rong Chen was startled for a moment, and his heart suddenly warmed up when he heard her unexpected answer. How many girls come to Paris these days and don't want to buy clothes for themselves, but just want to buy them for their relatives?
