Jiang Cheng, watching from a certain distance, did not act rashly.
She chose to observe for a while.
An accent from Southeast Asia... with a few foreign words popping up now and then.
If she’s not mistaken, they are from MD.
Both sides were trying hard to make the other understand, but the more they talked, the more anxious they beca.
Just when it was getting a bit heated, Jiang Cheng stepped in.
"Excuse , sorry to interrupt, but I know a little MD language."
The two foreigners, upon hearing the familiar dialect—though not very standard but understandable—looked at Jiang Cheng with surprise and excitent.
"You can speak MD?"
Jiang Cheng slightly bowed her head, apologizing, "I am fond of MD culture, so I taught myself a little, but I’ve never mastered the essence of your language, and my pronunciation isn’t very good."
In these few words, Jiang Cheng exalted the other side.
Indeed, after hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the two people, with more smiles, said, "Our language is indeed difficult, you’re already amazing."
"Really?"
Jiang Cheng showed the joy of being praised and eagerly asked them for tips on language skills.
With the exchange back and forth, the three of them chatted more and more congenially.
The service clerk in the foreign exchange store watched the female comrade, who they had just looked down upon, with a complex feeling in their heart.
Being able to speak a foreign language in this era is definitely a super impressive skill.
"Thank you so much, I’ve learned a lot!"
Jiang Cheng thanked them again.
"To show my gratitude, I really want to help you both in so way!"
Jiang Cheng spoke sincerely, and indeed they needed a translator.
Originally, they had finished their itinerary and suddenly rembered to buy so gifts, which led to this trip.
After reporting, the two arrived here with a foreign trade worker who couldn’t speak MD.
The two parties imdiately clicked.
Jiang Cheng looked at the service clerk who had rolled her eyes at her previously.
The clerk’s heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
"Comrade, these two distinguished guests would like to buy gifts to take back ho. Can you help them with the service?"
"?"
"Of course!"
The service clerk, originally thinking Jiang Cheng was going to make things difficult for her, imdiately agreed, and together with another colleague, followed behind the three of them.
Next, Jiang Cheng led the two foreigners to start shopping.
She was humorous in her words, without a hint of the arrogance so major powers show towards smaller countries.
The two MD people for the first ti enjoyed shopping wholeheartedly.
Additionally, with Jiang Cheng’s extensive knowledge, while the two were shocked that each gift here had a story, they also bought quite a few items.
From start to finish, Jiang Cheng did not make things difficult for the two clerks.
It’s precisely this approach that started to make the two clerks feel guilty.
Towards the end of shopping, the two MD people expressed their gratitude to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng was even more sincere, with a sense of regretful longing.
"I don’t know when we’ll et again; it’s a sha we can’t spend more ti together."
The two MD people were equally regretful, with one saying, "The sa for us, it’s a pity we didn’t close a deal, otherwise we could have stayed a bit longer."
"Oh? It sounds like you’re a bit regretful?"
Jiang Cheng picked up on the topic, and the two beca more willing to share.
"We wanted to purchase a batch of canned products, but we couldn’t agree on the price, so we couldn’t reach a deal."
The more they talked, the more information Jiang Cheng gathered.
In short, they wanted to buy good products at a low price.
Hmm... the idea is beautiful, but the reality is harsh.
However... a plan gradually ford in Jiang Cheng’s mind.
"I really can’t bear to see you leave empty-handed... To be honest, I know the director of a food factory. Though it’s not a factory in Sea City, maybe there’s a chance."
"If you don’t mind, I’d be willing to ask."
"I just can’t bear the thought of you coming all this way and returning empty-handed."
Jiang Cheng’s words surprised the MD people, and they asked skeptically, "Jiang, do you really know soone in a food factory?"
"Of course! This is my proof... Oh, I’m so silly; you don’t know Hua Xia characters."
Jiang Cheng’s clumsy and straightforward actions made the two MD people believe her a bit more.
They thought Jiang Cheng was just being kind and not intentionally trying to help.
Moreover, going back empty-handed wasn’t a wise decision for them either.
Making a profit was their goal.
"Jiang, we are truly grateful for your willingness to help, how can we contact you?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a mont.
It’s better to keep the fishing line in her own hands.
"How about this... I’ll have the factory director co and talk to you personally, is that okay?"
"The director?"
The two MD people were doubtful, but Jiang Cheng confidently said, "Just give it a try, what do you have to lose?"
The two foreigners understood.
The money is still in their pockets; as long as they don’t take it out, no one can take it from them.
Seeing their agreent, Jiang Cheng then looked at the two sales clerks.
"Comrades, can we stay in the store a bit longer?"
"Of course."
The two clerks were already feeling guilty, and with foreign guests present, they couldn’t possibly kick them out.
"Thank you so much! I have an unusual request...."
"Can I use the phone?"
...
Jiang Cheng successfully borrowed the phone and made a call to the plastic factory.
When Director Li’s secretary answered the phone, he listened a bit and then hung up.
"What happened?"
Director Li happened to co out of the office.
The secretary, seeing him, said imdiately, "It was Comrade Jiang who called this morning. She said she’s negotiating a deal with foreign guests right now, and it’s a crucial mont. She asked to go to the guesthouse to fetch Director Lu."
Director Li tried to understand every word from the secretary, but he still asked one question:
"What?"
The secretary scratched his head, he didn’t quite get it either.
Director Li was very curious and, coincidentally having nothing to do, went with the secretary to find Director Lu.
When they arrived at the guesthouse, the secretary relayed Jiang Cheng’s ssage, and Director Lu rushed up the stairs without a second’s delay.
"Wait for ! I’ll be right down!"
Director Lu’s swift execution greatly shocked and puzzled Director Li.
This made him even more curious.
A director so obedient, and Jiang Cheng, not even an official employee, negotiating deals with foreign guests?
Three minutes later, Director Lu and Director Lian ca downstairs, each carrying a sack.
"Let’s go!"
Director Lu, exceedingly anxious, led the way, and seeing the car outside, was even more pleased!
No matter whose car it was, as long as it was fast!
With the driver included, five of them headed to the foreign exchange store.
Half an hour later, the door of the foreign exchange store jingled, and Director Lian pushed it open.
Director Lian pushed the door open with a serious face and said to Director Lu behind him, "Director, they’re here."
Director Lu walked in with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Cheng had passed on the ssage.
His role now was to be a director who cares for the younger generation but is also authoritative.
"Director Lu!"
In the middle of learning "standard pronunciation" with the two MD people, Jiang Cheng quickly stood up.
Director Lu imdiately revealed a "you youngster never let relax" kind of elder expression.
"Why did you co here?"
Jiang Cheng smiled a little affectionately.
The two MD people, upon seeing this, thought: Jiang... really has connections.
Behind them, Director Li and the secretary witnessed Director Lu’s several "face changes" firsthand, and both simultaneously thought of the morning scene.
You three must be from the drama theater!!!
