Mint got up early in the morning. She had to go to the hospital to get the report first and then go to work. She had to hurry up or she would be late.
Outside the window, the sky is a bit gray, there is no sun, it is a gray and cloudy day.
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
And it turns out that the following day was indeed very, very bad.
At half past seven, the bus was about to arrive at the hospital, but suddenly there was chaos ahead, the road was congested, and all the cars were stopped by the traffic police and diverted.
"Mr. Driver, please stop for a moment. I want to get off at the hospital stop!" Mint said to the bus driver quickly.
"Hospital? Miss, didn't you see the situation outside? The hospital is on fire, and the fire trucks are putting out the fire!"
ah?
Mint quickly walked to the other side and saw that there was indeed thick smoke billowing in the direction of the hospital.
She frowned subconsciously, why are you so unlucky? It seems that today's report will not be obtained.
"Miss, do you still want to get off the car?" the driver asked again.
"Yes, please stop for a moment." Even if she doesn't go to get the report, she still has to transfer to another car to go to work, and this one is not on the road.
The driver quickly stopped the bus at the nearest platform. After saying thank you twice, Mint quickly got off the bus.
She walked in the direction of the hospital curiously, but the area within a radius of 100 meters was controlled by firefighters and police, and no one could pass by, lest any accidents happen.
Mint looked at it and had to turn around and go to the bus stop again.
Fortunately, the journey to the work was quick and she was not late when she arrived at the office.
At nine o'clock sharp, other staff in the office came. As usual, after everyone was busy, the French group held an internal meeting.
Fang Yuan, who had taken sick leave before, was also present. She came to work on time this morning.
Mint's expression was calm and calm.
Now that things have happened, she really doesn't want to say anything anymore. She really despises Fang Yuan from the bottom of her heart!
Although Fang Yuan has used various methods before, this time it is so disgusting. She actually used the media meeting as a tool for her own selfish purposes! She completely ignored the collective honor!
Despicable! Shameless!
Mint became extremely angry when she thought about that day when simultaneous interpretation was interrupted. Even though she was lucky enough to save the day that day, she was scared just thinking about it.
The meeting that day was so important. If she had made any mistake at that time, all their hard work for so many days would have been in vain!
And this is still a small aspect. From a larger aspect, this media meeting is the prelude to the entire expo. The expo is international, and countries and people all over the world are watching it. If Xihai fails this time,
What will be the consequences? Xihai and even the whole country will be ridiculed by foreign media!
In this regard, what she did to Fang Yuan is really intolerable, let alone forgivable!
Fortunately, God was wise and did not let Fang Yuan succeed, but from now on, she must be very careful with this woman!
After this pain, she saw Fang Yuan's true face more clearly. She really did whatever it took to achieve her goals!
The most hateful thing is that she still pretends to be so innocent!
Everyone in this office still believes in her as before, and even sympathizes with her!
"Miss Fang, are you feeling okay? Why don't you rest for a few more days?"
"It's okay. Thank you for your concern. I don't want to delay my work. After all, this is not my business alone." Fang Yuan said pretendingly.
Mint's expression remains unchanged, still light, pretend it, pretend it, see how long you can pretend it lasts!
"Miss Fang is so dedicated and dedicated. She deserves to be Director Fang's daughter. A tiger father has no dog daughter!" There are dog-legged people everywhere.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Mint was still silent. She felt that she was stronger than before. She could actually listen to this kind of hypocritical conversation!
The door of the conference room was pushed open, Team Leader Li walked in with documents, and the meeting officially began.
As the opening day of the expo approaches, the staff's work becomes more and more complex. For example, at the beginning, they were only responsible for translating materials and manuscripts, and then slowly began to do translation.
Even simultaneous interpretation, and this week, there are new tasks.
"Everyone knows that Joe's Bank is one of the main sponsors of this expo. Joe's general manager intends to open a new branch in France and take the route of emerging technologies. He wants to know more about this aspect, and it happened recently
There are many representatives from foreign companies coming over. Mr. Qiao wants our organizing committee to make arrangements for him. The leaders above have agreed and agreed to help introduce them." Team leader Li briefly explained the theme of this meeting.
After hearing this, Mint couldn't help but murmur in her heart. If she guessed correctly, this so-called Mr. Qiao should be Qiao Lijie.
Ten years have passed, and he has transformed from the eldest son of the Qiao family to the current General Manager Qiao.
I don't know if he is still as bad as before.
Team leader Li flipped through the information and continued, "The higher-ups want us to send someone here to help Mr. Qiao translate, and we'll discuss the candidate below."
Everyone looked at each other and whispered, some were eager to try it, while others avoided it.
Qiao Lijie's identity was a natural attraction, but his reputation also kept many women away. For a while, there were endless discussions in the conference room, but no one came forward.
Qiao Nawei is Qiao Lijie's younger sister. She should have taken on this important responsibility originally, but Qiao Nawei's level is limited and her personality is unruly and willful. She is definitely not qualified for the job, so she has to find someone else.
"I think it's better to just let Mint go?" Qiao Nawei said maliciously.
Mint secretly gritted her teeth and declined, saying, "Thanks to Miss Qiao for being so considerate, but my qualifications are still relatively low, so I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy Mr. Qiao."
"Hey, Mint, you are so humble! Weren't you inexperienced at the last media meeting? But you performed very well! There will definitely be no problem this time!" Qiao Nawei deliberately flattered.
"I was just lucky last time." Mint said still modestly.
"Oh, don't belittle yourself so much! Everyone has seen your performance, don't you think so?" Qiao Nawei deliberately asked everyone.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Mint couldn't help but feel annoyed, this is the price of "fame"!
"I also think it's good. Miss Bo shined at the venue. She can complete such a difficult task well, so she is certainly capable!" Fang Yuan also said in a very fake way.
Both Qiao Nawei and Fang Yuan strongly supported it, and others followed suit. In the end, Team Leader Li was also convinced.
"Mint, now that everyone has said this, what do you think?"
What else can I do? I can only go!
"Team Leader Li, just let you arrange everything." Mint knew that Team Leader Li didn't know the details, so she was embarrassed to shirk it. She didn't want to disrupt Team Leader Li's work schedule just because she was alone. Now she was pushed to
We are on the cusp of the storm, and we have to get on even if we don’t.
Team leader Li nodded with satisfaction, "I also think you are capable of the job, so let's settle it!"
"Okay." Mint twitched the corner of his mouth, but secretly cursed: Today is indeed not a good day!
The meeting continues with the next topic.
Half an hour later, the entire meeting ended. Team leader Li handed some information to Mint and said, "You prepare first, and then wait for me to arrange it."
"Yes, Team Leader Li."
"And..." Team Leader Li paused for a moment, and then slowly said after everyone else had gone out, "Mint, this mission is not that simple. You will understand if you go back and look at the information. What's the problem?
If so, come and ask me again."
Mint was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was something in Team Leader Li's words, and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."
She took the materials out of the conference room, returned to her seat, and began to read carefully.
Then, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
This mission is truly extraordinary!
No wonder Team Leader Li would specially hold a meeting to select people, and he had just warned her repeatedly.
This task is really important, not just as a translator, because Qiao Lijie's goal is very clear, that is, he wants to establish a good relationship with foreign companies first, so that cooperation or mutual benefit will be more convenient in the future, but there are many commercial secrets involved.
It cannot be disclosed casually, and Qiao Lijie is a sinister person. He has been sued for stealing other people's business secrets before, which is really uneasy.
Qiao's is an important sponsor, so the organizing committee cannot refuse Qiao Lijie's request. It can only give him face to introduce relevant foreign business representatives. However, the inventions or patents of those foreign companies must be exhibited at the expo.
Before the opening of the expo, everything must be kept confidential. The organizing committee has the responsibility and obligation to serve them and cannot disclose any business and technical secrets.
Mint secretly made up her mind that she must be more cautious. Although she was unwilling to serve Qiao Lijie, personal matters were personal matters and work was work matters, and she did not want to mix them up.
Team Leader Li clearly trusted her by entrusting her with such an important task. She couldn't let Team Leader Li down.
As a staff member of the expo, she must abide by the principle of keeping foreign business representatives confidential. She must do her job well to prevent Qiao Lijie from using any means to cause losses to foreign companies, because if that happens, the organizing committee will
You also have to take responsibility. When the time comes, all kinds of troubles will ensue, and even serious international commercial disputes will occur.
Mint realized the importance of this mission, so he braced himself for the challenge and prepared to face it.
While I was looking at the information, my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
She lowered her head and took it out and saw that it was Guan Shouheng's number.
She was subconsciously annoyed, what did he want to do? This is working time!
After hesitating for a moment, her phone kept buzzing, so she had no choice but to answer it.
"Have you got your laboratory report?" Guan Shouheng called her immediately after the meeting. This woman dared to leave the hospital privately, and she even dared to turn off her phone and disappear. She didn't even know if she had the report!
Mint couldn't help but feel annoyed and lowered his voice and said, "I went to the hospital in the morning, but I didn't go in. There was a fire in the hospital and the place was sealed."
She chose to tell the truth, otherwise he would definitely ask her for the test report, so she had better tell the truth first.
Guan Shouheng was slightly startled and gritted his teeth angrily. That shabby hospital really delayed things!
Hearing the sound of him gritting his teeth, Mint quickly said, "I'm fine. It's just gout. It's been cured a long time ago."
"..." Guan Shouheng wanted to say something else, but his assistant suddenly knocked on the door and came in. It seemed that there was something urgent, so he had to hang up the phone first.
Mint frowned and sighed, put the phone back in his pocket, and continued to work.
Looking down at the information on the desktop, I felt that the pressure this time was unprecedented.
But no matter what, she will try her best!
The day went by in the blink of an eye, and it was soon time to get off work.
Lin Lin, who had not dared to talk to Mint all day, finally plucked up the courage and said cautiously, "Mint... tonight... can I treat you to dinner?"
She felt deeply sorry for what happened last time. She felt that she had to thank Bo Min no matter what. Firstly, she wanted to thank her for forgiving her. Secondly, if Bo Bo hadn't interceded with Team Leader Li and Mr. Guan on her behalf, she would have died earlier.
Was fired.
Mint slowly raised his head and saw Lin Lin's extremely nervous face, her eyes were red with anxiety.
"Lin Lin... don't cry, I just promise you." Mint said quickly and took out a tissue to give her.
Lin Lin quickly took it, wiped her tears carelessly, cried and said with a smile, "Then what do you want to eat? Let's go together after get off work."
"Everything is fine, as long as it tastes good." Mint replied easily, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Lin Lin was so grateful that she quickly took out her mobile phone to look for restaurant recommendations, "How about going to Dongfeng Zui? The boiled fish there is pretty good!"
"..." Mint was about to say it was a bit expensive there when the phone on the table suddenly rang. She quickly went to answer it, "Team Leader Li, is it... a moment? Okay, I'll get ready right away."
Team leader Li said that Qiao Lijie and the representative of the French Xinlin Company were going to negotiate together in the evening and asked her to accompany him to translate and explain.
"Mint, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, I'm afraid we can't have dinner together today, how about next time?" Mint said apologetically.
Lin Lin knew that she had to be busy with business, so she could only nod in frustration, "Then... when will you finish your work? I'll wait for you!"
Mint wanted to say that she would find time another day, but seeing how cautious Lin Lin was, she really couldn't bear to refuse.
"I don't know when it will be finished. I'll call you when I finish, okay?" Mint comforted her, fearing that the little girl would be sad again.
"Okay, okay! I'll wait for you!" Lin Lin said happily.
It's time to get off work, and everyone is going home from get off work, but Mint's arduous work task is about to begin.
She cleared her desk, packed the necessary information into her bag, and quickly left the office.
Team leader Li said that Guan Shouheng would also go there later and he would wait for her downstairs.
She heard that he would attend because he had a relationship with the representative of the French Xinlin Company in Paris, but she still felt a lot more at ease. With him around, her pressure would naturally be less.
However, she was also worried that after he met Qiao Lijie, would his enemies become extremely jealous when they meet?
Mint was thinking wildly as he walked. When he got downstairs, he saw Guan Shouheng's car already parked there.
The two immediately drove to a high-end restaurant, the place was said to be arranged by Qiao Lijie.
Before entering the box, Mint paused briefly to catch his breath.
Although she has told herself many times that this is just work, facing a scumbag like Qiao Lijie, it is difficult for her to act as if nothing happened.
The hand holding the strap of the bag squeezed slightly.
"What's there to be nervous about?" Guan Shouheng's sharp black eyes caught her subtle movements, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm here!"
Mint frowned slightly, it was because of his presence that she was even more nervous! She was afraid that they would fight!
"Do you remember Qiao Lijie, right?" She said awkwardly. In fact, she didn't want to tell him about her past unpleasantness, but now she had to say that she just wanted to remind him not to be impulsive.
Guan Shouheng narrowed his black eyes slightly, as if dissatisfied, and hummed in displeasure, "You remember him clearly!"
Mint felt something bad when he heard it, and immediately reminded him vigilantly, "I don't want you to cause any trouble."
Guan Shouheng raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "If you care about me, I accept it."
Mint was annoyed, with a suspicious blush on her cheeks, "Who cares about you anymore? I'm just afraid that you will mess up the atmosphere!"
After saying that, she pushed open the door of the box vigorously.
Guan Shouheng chuckled and walked in.
There was no one in the box. The representatives of the French company and Qiao Lijie hadn't arrived yet, but as soon as Guan Shouheng and Bo Mint sat down, everyone arrived.
"Hello……"
"Hello……"
There was a brief exchange of pleasantries and handshakes.
When it was almost the turn of Mint and Qiao Lijie to shake hands, Mint suddenly felt uncomfortable. Qiao Lijie's eyes were too hot, which made her feel bored.
She hesitated whether to shake hands with him.
Forget it, shake it, this is work, shaking hands is basic etiquette!
"Mr. Qiao, long time no see!" Guan Shouheng suddenly stepped over and reached out to Qiao Lijie with his big hand.
The smile on Qiao Lijie's face disappeared, and his eyes were full of resentment. He really didn't expect that the poor boy back then would be so high and mighty now!
