Xue Ling had already made a lot of money, so he thought that the royalties would not be much, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
"It is the obligation of every citizen to pay taxes in accordance with the law. You should pay as much as you should."
Xiao Jiaxue picked up the coffee and took another sip.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a lot more after finishing it. Your translation this time is the key publication of the publishing house this year, and the president attaches great importance to it. Don't let me down! If the translation is good, I will print it in additional editions in the future.
The subsequent income will still be considerable.”
"Don't worry, I will do my job well as you, Lao Xiao, told me." Xue Ling could only promise without patting her chest.
Xiao Jiaxue smiled softly and explained: "Last year, more than a dozen domestic colleges and universities applied for foreign language majors. Now, not only English and French, but Japanese majors have also begun to be established. I believe that in a few years, as the domestic economy develops outward, foreign language majors will also be established."
Talents and teaching will be improved to the next level."
Xue Ling is a "experienced person" and knows that the 1990s was a period of vigorous development of foreign trade, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, so if you work in a foreign language publishing house, you will have a bright future. Especially if you are in sales, you just need to wait to make money."
Xiao Jiaxue rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Look at what you said, as if you can stop working and wait to count the money! You don't know how powerful those middlemen are, trying their best to find people to be lobbyists at low prices, with eighteen different faces!"
Xue Ling laughed and took a sip of coffee.
"Then you must use all your strength and master all kinds of martial arts to make sure you get the money!"
The two were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Cheng Tianyuan has never drank coffee. Before that, he had only read it in books or copied it in Xue Ling's final translation. This was the first time he really tasted coffee.
After taking a sip, the bitter and rich taste made him choke and almost spit it out.
Afraid of being rude, he calmly swallowed it and did not dare to drink any more.
After calming down for a while, I found a strong aroma lingering in my throat, but I didn't feel that disgusted at all.
No wonder coffee is said to wake you up. The rich aroma alone is enough to make you energetic!
Xue Ling and Xiao Jiaxue talked about a wide range of topics, from old classmates to old friends, from economics to publishing, and so on. He couldn't get a word in, so he had to sit there all the time.
However, Xue Ling was very considerate and found that he didn't speak much, so he asked in a low voice: "Are you not used to drinking coffee? There are sugar babies and condensed milk over there. You can add a little and stir it. It will taste much better. Coffee is very refreshing, I
I used to be fine every day."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly, took the Tangbao and tore it open. He recalled what she had just said and was stunned unconsciously.
It seems that she must have worked very hard when she was studying and had to drink coffee frequently to stay awake.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad secretly.
It is said that coffee hurts the stomach, and drinking too much can cause serious damage to the intestines and stomach. Fortunately, there is no coffee sold in Rongcheng.
Friends got together and couldn't stop chatting. Soon it was lunch time.
Xiao Jiaxue said with a smile: "You and your wife have come all the way here. I have to do my best to treat you as a landlord and treat you to a meal."
"Yo!" Xue Ling teased: "My household registration is still in the Imperial Capital! It sounds like I'm no longer from here!"
"Of course not!" Xiao Jiaxue looked at Cheng Tianyuan and said with an ambiguous smile: "You are already married. You are this dear friend's beautiful wife. You are no longer considered a member of our imperial capital."
Xue Ling laughed and said: "You want to treat me, and I'm eager to do so! Just marry as soon as you get married. It doesn't matter if you're not from the imperial capital. I don't care. You will be the one to pay for it later, that's fine."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at her with gentle eyes and said warmly: "We have always troubled Miss Jiaxue. We should treat her to dinner this time and thank her properly."
Xiao Jiaxue blushed and stopped.
"I can't help you much. At that time, there were very few people in the publishing house who could translate. Several of the friends I introduced gave up halfway because they were busy with work. Only Xue Ling persisted and completed a book quickly. I
This gives me a lot of face in front of the president. It’s only fitting that I come to treat you to this meal.”
"Okay, okay! Stop arguing, we'll talk about it later!" Xue Ling quietly winked at her husband.
The couple had a good understanding of each other and quickly guessed what she wanted to do.
"Let's find a suitable place to eat first."
Xiao Jiaxue introduced: "Two new Western restaurants have opened near the square recently. I heard that the steaks are good. Do you like Western food?"
Xue Ling shook his head and explained: "Meat is included in all Chinese New Year meals. If you eat too much, you will easily get tired of it. We just had beef hot pot yesterday, so why not eat something lighter?"
Cheng Tianyuan on the side felt a little embarrassed, and felt that the young wife refused because she didn't know how to eat Western food.
He glanced at Xue Ling secretly, feeling warm inside.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiaxue immediately suggested: "There is a Chaoshan restaurant next door to the restaurant. It has been open for several years. I have eaten there twice. The taste is very light and the taste is pretty good."
Xue Ling asked and looked at Cheng Tianyuan. He smiled slightly: "I can do it." She smiled and said: "I think it's good too! Then go over and eat!"
The heating in the cafe was sufficient, so the three of them put on their coats and walked out of the shop.
There is a small restaurant next door, and it is warm and cozy inside. It is lunch time, and people are coming and going. It seems that business is very good.
The three of them ordered several dishes, including meat and vegetables, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Cheng Tianyuan excused himself to go to the toilet and took the opportunity to pay.
Then the three of them walked around the square together.
During the festival, the square is crowded with people and the radio plays happy New Year songs.
There are many people selling audio tapes, including ethnic songs and some popular songs from Taiwan. The female voice is sweet and sweet, and the singing voice is soft.
Xue Ling liked it and bought several boxes of songs.
"Some are sent to colleagues, and some are kept for oneself to listen to."
Xiao Jiaxue bought a few boxes of Peking Opera, saying she wanted to go home and give them to her grandparents.
There were many stalls selling snacks in the square. Xue Ling and Jiaxue ate some candies and candied haws.
It wasn't until evening that they said goodbye.
"The publishing house will be at work in two days. Once I finish the contract and the leadership allocates the money, I will send it to you."
"Okay!" Xue Ling waved his hand: "Let's keep in touch!"
Cheng Tianyuan led her back to the bus stop, and the two took the bus home.
It was already late when we arrived at the community, lights were on everywhere, and the two of them returned home after having a great time.
Xue's mother was busy in the kitchen, while Xue's father and Xue Heng were playing chess.
"You're back?" Father Xue asked with a smile, "Is it cold outside?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied warmly: "There is sunshine today and there is no north wind in the evening, so it is not too cold."
Xue Heng called to Xue Ling and shouted: "Come and help me! I'm going to lose!"
Xue Ling hung up his coat and walked forward with a smile.
Cheng Tianyuan went into the kitchen to help.
While playing chess, Xue Heng asked: "I heard from my uncle that the defective products in the factory warehouse will be shipped to you for sale in Rongcheng, right?"
"Yes!" Xue Ling replied without raising his head: "Tomorrow we have to go to the warehouse to take a look."
Xue Heng sighed and smiled in a low voice: "Sister Lingling, in Rongcheng, only defective products can be consumed. Although there are currently no big international brands in the Imperial Capital, there will definitely be many brands in the near future. I see you
