"You don’t find it spicy?" Lou Fan also ate spicy food, but watching Xu Nianhua spooning chili after chili into her bowl, and the vegetables from the hot pot rolling around in her own blend of seasonings, even looking at those fiery red chilies made Lou Fan feel the heat.
Xu Nianhua flashed a big smile and praised, "Not spicy at all, just right; this hot pot restaurant isn’t bad."
She was the type who absolutely needed spiciness in her food; even when stir-frying vegetables, she seed to yearn for adding chilies.
Lou Fan: "..."
Well, maybe people from South City can handle the heat better?
Pei Yicheng used serving chopsticks to pick up her favorite tripe, along with enoki mushrooms, fatty beef rolls, and baby bok choy, among others.
"Thank you."
Xu Nianhua ate with exceptional joy; she just had to bury her head and enjoy the delicious food.
She also had several prawns, which were satisfyingly aty. Touching her rounded belly and gazing at the trash beside her table, she blushed and asked, "Yicheng, you’ve been tending to all this ti; what would you like to eat?"
Pei Yicheng casually ordered a couple of dishes, watching Xu Nianhua eagerly serve him. It seed as if the food tasted even better.
On the side, Lou Fan felt as though he was eting Pei Yicheng for the first ti. When had Yicheng ever been so attentive in serving others? When had Yicheng liked having others serve him?
Lou Fan’s gaze uncontrollably returned to Xu Nianhua’s young and beautiful face. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen won prettier than Xu Nianhua, but why did Yicheng particularly like her?
"Lou Fan, don’t you have stuff to deal with back at the factory?" Pei Yicheng suddenly spoke up.
Lou Fan: "..."
He had specifically invited them for a al, what business could there be?
However...
Lou Fan’s eyes shifted, and he scooted closer to Xu Nianhua, sensing soone’s gaze growing colder. With a sly smile, like a cunning fox, he said, "Nianhua, in half a month, which is also a Saturday, our factory is expecting a foreign inspection team. So, we need an accompanying translator—thirty dollars a day, food and accommodation included."
Originally, he could have contacted Xu Nianhua next week, but seeing how eager Pei Yicheng was for him to leave, he decided to ntion it early.
"Sure!"
Xu Nianhua readily agreed; she was completely free on weekends, and at thirty dollars a day, including food and lodging, working just two days would equate to a month’s salary!
"How much money could this inspection team bring if they ca more often?" Xu Nianhua murmured, wondering if the pay was a bit high.
"Do you think the inspection team cos every month?"
Hearing her soft mumbles, Lou Fan explained, "Sotis they don’t even co once in half a year, so opportunities like this are rare."
If not for the rarity of the opportunity, how would the previous translator, Pangxin, have dared to demand such high prices?
Finding a skilled and professional translator isn’t that easy.
"Oh, I see. So I’m pretty lucky then," Xu Nianhua said with a delighted face.
"Right."
Lou Fan nodded affirmatively, feeling content as he sensed a chilly air all around. He satisfactorily watched Pei Yicheng stewing in jealousy and wisely chose to leave early.
"Yicheng, thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have stumbled upon such a good job!"
On the way back, Xu Nianhua expressed her gratitude; although the money wasn’t a lot, it was quite a bit for a student!
