"Wanshi Expo?" Mint raised her eyebrows slightly. This is a popular event that everyone in Xihai City has recently known about. She naturally also knows that she heard that there is a citizen participation exhibition area where anyone can participate in literature, art, technology, etc.
There is no limit to any aspect. As long as it is a novel and creative invention, you can sign up for the selection. If selected, you will not only be able to participate in the exhibition, but also receive a bonus.
"Yeah!" An An nodded firmly, "Mom, I think my word memory method is very innovative. I drew a picture for each word and sent it to the organizing committee for a look. If they are interested, I
I asked them to publish it as a picture book. When the time comes, I can take the book to an exhibition. Not only will I get a bonus, but I can also earn another royalty. It kills two birds with one stone! Once you make money, you won’t have to work so hard and do so much by yourself.
A job."
Mint was touched by his son's thoughtfulness, but also very sad, "An'an, making money is an adult's business. You are still young, and your mother can support you!"
"But I am a man, and it is the right thing for a man to raise a woman!"
"Who said that? Men and women are equal!"
"No, it's natural for men to raise women!" An An was stubborn.
Mint looked at his son's righteous expression and seemed to see Guan Shouheng back then. He was truly a father and son, and they both insisted on the same things in their bones.
"But An An is still young. He is just a little boy now, not a man yet!"
"I'm almost ten years old, I'm not young anymore!" An An clenched his fist to show off his manly strength.
Mint couldn't laugh or cry, and stopped arguing with him, "Okay, if you want to participate, then you can, but you can't just go for the money. Mom thinks your idea is quite good. Even if you can't successfully participate in the exhibition, you can use this learning method in the future.
It would be good to introduce it to other students and try to promote it first this time.”
"It's definitely good!" An An was very confident, "Mom, think about it, foreign language cram schools are so popular now. It can be seen that everyone is willing to spend money to learn foreign languages, so I will definitely have a market selling point, and I am confident that it will succeed.
!”
Mint couldn't help but tap his head, "Don't be overconfident!"
"How can I? I am doing market analysis with you! Mom, do you know why I draw these cartoon pictures?"
"Why?"
"Because cartoon pictures are attractive to those children! My learning method is specifically aimed at students. As long as the students like it, the parents will pay for it, just like when my mother buys things for me.
, show no mercy!”
Mint was stunned, she really didn't expect An An to have business talent!
But, what are those children? How old is he? He is also a child!
"Okay, okay, you are the most reasonable! Mom wishes you success in advance, but An'an, don't work too hard. It's very tiring to draw so many pictures. You should pay attention to your health! If you are exhausted, your mother will be sad.
,do you know?"
"I know, I will pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
"What's the work-rest balance? You have to be cute when you talk, don't be pretentious!" Mint couldn't help complaining. It's not good for his son to be too talented. He's not cute at a young age!
"Okay, Mom, it's very late, you should go to bed early!" An An quickly changed the subject.
Mint glanced at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, "Okay, you should go to bed early and don't stay up late secretly anymore!"
In the past, she had caught An An secretly reading under the covers with a small flashlight in the middle of the night, and she felt so sorry for her.
"Well, mom, don't work too hard."
Mint's heart felt warm again, "Mom, with you, I won't be afraid no matter how hard it is."
"..." An An expressed her weakness. Why is her mother so stubborn? He just doesn't want her to work too hard!
Forget it, forget it, women love to show off so much, my mother is like this, and Aunt Wu is the same, Wu You is right, you don’t need to say too much to women, just take action directly!
"Good night, Mom." He quickly climbed into the single bed and prepared to "sleep" first. He hadn't finished drawing tonight's pictures yet and would have to stay up late.
"Good night." Mint turned off the light for his son and turned to leave.
After leaving the small bedroom, she went to the small kitchen to continue eating noodles. After talking for a long time, the noodles were already a little cold, but she still found them delicious.
While eating noodles, she was thinking about a question about the "Wanshi Expo".
First, after the opening of the expo, the number of outsiders in Xihai will increase rapidly, especially foreign tourists. Then the travel agency's business will become better and she will have more opportunities to make money.
Second, she heard that the organizing committee of the expo issued an announcement saying that it planned to recruit some social personnel, mainly in foreign languages, to serve as information coordinators at the venue to help foreigners and foreign tourists who came to the exhibition.
Communicate better with local people.
Therefore, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and maybe she should give it a try.
Although she does not have a high degree of education, her spoken English has always been good. Even if she cannot apply for a senior position, she is still more than enough to provide guidance and explanations at the venue.
Although this is not a long-term stable job, the expo will last for several months, and the pay is much better than other jobs outside.
She had just lost a job today and was worried about where to find another one. She had not thought about this problem at first, but after An An said it, she remembered that there is no perfect way, no matter what, she should do it
Go try it.
Yes, I will apply for the job tomorrow!
After making up her mind, Mint hurriedly finished the noodles, then washed up briefly and returned to her room.
There was originally only one bedroom in the small attic, but she later separated it from the middle. She and An An had one room each, so that she would not disturb her son's sleep when she was working at night.
The room was not big originally, but it became even smaller after being separated like this. Moreover, she had given the side by the window to sleep peacefully. There was not even a window in her room. No matter it was day or night, the lights had to be turned on after entering.
The biggest piece of furniture in the room was the bed, which was their wedding bed. After years of wear and tear, it was very old, but despite this, she kept sleeping.
But every night when she lay on it, she would toss and turn and subconsciously look to the other side, but she could no longer see the familiar figure or touch the warm embrace.
When An An was young, she took her son to sleep with her. When An An grew up and had her own room, she changed the other half of the bed into a work area, because the room was too small and there was no way to put a desk.
She got a small folding table and put it on the bed to use as a writing desk. Anyway, it would be a waste for her to sleep on a double bed alone, and this way, she wouldn't feel too empty when sleeping at night.
The small table is filled with books, most of which were left behind by Guan Shouheng. This is really a very valuable asset. Over the years, she has read all these books and learned a lot from them.
It benefited her a lot.
In the past ten years, she had not gone to school or further education. What she relied on were these books. She did not learn systematically and learned very complicated things, but it helped her a lot. For example, she learned some very small things.
language, and with this advantage, he successfully found many jobs and supported An An.
Sometimes she thinks about it and finds it ironic. Guan Shouheng was impoverished back then, but the house he left behind and everything in it gave her and An An their last place to live. Without these, mother and son would not know what to do.
No matter where you go, it will definitely be worse and worse.
But because of this, she became more aware of how deeply she hurt him back then. When she hugged An An and had nowhere to go but to come back here, the moment she pushed the door in, she burst into tears.
He took nothing with him, he left in despair.
He is not the only one who is desperate. Living here, she will also be very sad. Everything in the house is the same as before, but things and people have changed. Facing the walls around the house, she will think of their happiness here, especially their
At the beginning of my marriage, those days were really happy, so happy that when I think about it later, my heart will tremble.
Of course, she would also think of the quarrels they had here back then, but as the years passed, as personnel changed, and as her mentality became more and more mature, those unhappiness and conflicts gradually became blurred and became so insignificant.
The reality is indeed like this. No matter how much love or resentment there was, it doesn't matter anymore. Their lives have no longer intersected. He only has hatred for her, and she looks at him and becomes out of reach.
She didn't know why he returned to China, nor how long he would stay. She only knew that he was no longer the poor Guan Shouheng he was back then. He was now the leading translator at international conferences, the elite among the elite.
Stand out from the crowd and have everything.
In the box of "Haidu", maybe because everyone saw something was wrong between them, they were reserved in their words. Therefore, she did not hear what he was going to do when he came back this time, but she talked with him.
The characters at the same table are each more impressive than the other, reflecting how extraordinary his current worth is.
She was truly happy for him that he finally succeeded.
And she must continue to work hard for An An!
Mint collected her thoughts, turned on the computer, and prepared to type out a resume.
The computer was from ten years ago, and it couldn't be any older. No wonder An An "dislikes" it so much, but she doesn't have the spare money to buy a new one now. She can buy it for An An when he really needs a computer in the future.
It was really slow, and it took several minutes to boot up. When she started up, she caught a glimpse of the small potted plant next to the computer, and felt very warm in her heart.
A small pot of cactus was given to her by An An. Because there were no windows in her room and the air was not good, An An always gave her some flowers and plants from time to time, and they were all oxygen-breathing plants.
For An An, she must work hard!

The next day, Mint got up early. After washing, she put on a set of professional clothes. She rarely wore this set of clothes because none of her current jobs were in the office, but she had to apply for a job today and had to dress formally.
point.
Although the style of the clothes is very ordinary, the overall style is still very new, and the effect looks good. Her hair is also tied up, creating a capable image. She also specially puts on light makeup, although the whole set of makeup together does not look like her.
A lipstick used to be valuable, but she had no choice.
She didn't go out to buy groceries or make breakfast, because her capable son was a hundred times better than her in this regard. It would have been better if she didn't do it, but it would make things worse if she did, so she only kept some change.
"An'an, mom is going out. You go downstairs to buy something to eat later. I'll put the change here."
"Okay, mom, you must also remember to have breakfast."
"Mom knows, I can just eat on the way. But you, don't be lazy, you know. You must eat well, and remember to take medicine after eating."
"Um."
After explaining a few words to her son, Mint took the key and went out. When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped in her steps. As if she remembered something, she turned back and said, "An'an, if a stranger knocks on the door, you
Don’t open it, you know?”
An An blinked and thought about who the so-called stranger was.
After three seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Mint was relieved now. Maybe she was overthinking it. Guan Shouheng probably wouldn't come back here. This place was just an embarrassing memory for him. How could he come back?
Go out, wait for the bus, squeeze into the bus, just like usual.
An hour and a half later, she arrived at the Convention and Exhibition Center. Ten years ago, her grandmother held an art exhibition here. Ten years later, this place became more magnificent, but she became humble and insignificant. Ten years ago, she and Guan Shouheng were here.
There was a fierce argument, and then her stomach started to hurt, and then she learned the news that her father was in trouble, and then...
Stop, stop thinking about these things!
She ordered herself not to think too wildly. What she was thinking about now was how to perform well later so that the interviewer would accept her.
Her resume is not an advantage at all, or even a disadvantage, so she must perform well in the interview so that she can get the job.
Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her emotions and walked into the building.
Soon after, the "Wanshi Expo" will be held here. Now the entire convention and exhibition center is no longer open to the public. The construction of the venue is in progress. At the same time, external recruitment work is also being carried out here, but on a dedicated floor, and to
Take the side door next to it.
She followed the signs and walked all the way to the designated floor, but as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was startled.
The entire floor was almost occupied and overcrowded!
Mint's heart suddenly became anxious. There were so many people and the competition was too fierce. She might not have any chance.
However, it seems that many people here are not here just for work.
The women on the side were talking quietly——
"Hey, did you hear? The leader of Gaofanju is coming over today!"
"Of course I have. I also heard an inside story! It is said that Gaofanju has a new translator who came back from abroad. He is super young and super handsome!"
"Yes! My cousin's sister-in-law's sister-in-law is responsible for delivering newspapers in the Gaofan Bureau. She said that everyone in the Bureau has received the news a long time ago and said that the person will report for duty in the next two days!"
"I have been waiting here for a whole day yesterday, but I didn't come. I guess I will come today!"
"I hope so, I really want to see it!"
"Hehe, do you want to meet people or talents?"
"Wouldn't it be better to have both talents? Haha..."
…
Mint couldn't help but feel uneasy as he listened to the gossip around him. Could it be Guan Shouheng? It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? But from everyone's descriptions, it felt very much like him! And they were in "Haidu" last night
I've seen it before, that scene was meant to attract the wind for him.
Oh my God, why do people I haven’t seen for ten years appear one after another in just 24 hours?
If it was really him, should she leave quickly?
But the interview hasn't even started yet, isn't it a pity that she left just like that?
But if you don’t leave, if it’s really him, then...
Forget it, she'd better leave quickly and find another job.
She didn't want to see him. She had finally angered him last night and made him angry. She didn't dare to take any more risks. If he wanted to pursue the child's matter again, with his current ability and her current situation, she
It's hard to escape even if you have wings. Now that he is already a high-profile figure, she doesn't want to disturb him, let alone let others know that he once had such a bad ex-wife like her.
Just when Mint decided to retreat, a group of elites in suits and ties slowly went upstairs.
Guan Shouheng was walking in the middle surrounded by people, but his expression was still indifferent. To be honest, he really didn't like this. Rather than making such a big fuss, he would rather hide in the "box" and do simultaneous interpretation.
But there is no other way today. The director specially invited him here. And since he is responsible for the special work of the expo, there will be many such situations in the future. He must learn to adapt.
"Guan Yi, there is an interview here today. You should check it first. After all, these selected people will have to undergo unified training in the future. You might as well feel their skills first."
"I understand, Fang Ju."
The group of people walked neatly towards the floor where the interview was held.
With a "ding——" sound, the elevator door opened, and Guan Shouheng's Qing Rui eyes suddenly condensed.
Mint was about to leave, but she didn't expect to bump into him, and her expression suddenly froze.
