"Don’t want the bonus anymore?" The man who had been flipping through docunts suddenly spoke up in a heavy tone. Though he was working, it seed as though he had eyes everywhere, startling Li Ruhai into sitting up straight and no longer daring to let his gaze wander.
Gu Qili got up halfway through to have lunch, watched the scenery for a while, then dozed off again.
Mu Shuoqian didn’t say anything, letting her sleep soundly until they were about to arrive at their destination before waking her up to prevent her from catching a cold after getting off the plane.
Gu Qili opened her eyes in a daze and vigorously rubbed them, "Are we there?"
Mu Shuoqian finally closed the docunts he had been reading throughout the journey and said lightly, "If you keep sleeping, I’m afraid the plane will take you back."
"There’s nothing to do on the plane anyway, why not sleep?" Gu Qili stretched lazily, took a big sip of water from the cup in front of her, and then curiously asked him, "Didn’t you sleep? Aren’t you tired?"
Mu Shuoqian remained silent, clearly not interested in answering such a trivial question.
After getting off the plane, two individuals there to pick them up could be identified by their clothes as having status. Hearing that Mu Shuoqian was coming, their big boss had also personally arrived with a secretary to welco them with great enthusiasm.
Gu Qili never forgot her role. Before coming here, she had morized the difficult cooperation docunts from start to finish, fearing that any translation error might cause trouble for Mu Shuoqian.
Just as she was about to step forward to interpret, the young man who had been with them suddenly stood out. He spoke to the others in perfect French and then conveyed their ssages to Mu Shuoqian and his party, appearing very professional.
Gu Qili’s advancing foot shrank back. Although filled with incomprehension, she didn’t let it show.
After the exchange of pleasantries, the French hosts had prepared two cars for them. Mu Shuoqian took Gu Qili in one, and the others went in the second car.
Very polite.
On the way, Gu Qili couldn’t help but ask, "Wasn’t I brought here to be the interpreter?"
Actually, there was a bit of sadness in her heart. He clearly brought an interpreter, yet she seed like an unnecessary ornant which was of no use at all.
Mu Shuoqian glanced at her, the changes in her emotions obviously not escaping his observation.
"Isn’t it good not to have to work?"
"This isn’t about whether to work or not; it’s about you clearly telling what I was brought here to do, and I also prepared in advance. Do you think morizing those things didn’t take ti and effort?" She beca irritated as she spoke, feeling that he was too whimsical in his actions. If she had known that coming here ant she wouldn’t need to do anything, why bother taking a twelve-hour flight?
"Did I ever say what I was bringing you here to do?" He spoke as if he had forgotten his own words, actually still questioning her.
Gu Qili replied with irritation, "To interpret."
He seed to recall, tapping his forehead with his slender finger, "Oh, I forgot to add two words - ’trainee’."
Gu Qili: "..."
How is she supposed to explode at him now?
"How do you think Jiang Wei did with the interpretation today?"
"Very good." From her professional perspective, indeed there were no problems; he was a qualified interpreter.
Mu Shuoqian nodded his head, then said nothing more.
Gu Qili was no longer angry, sitting back down obediently.
After all, she was just a student who hadn’t yet graduated, lacking work experience. Solely relying on morizing things on paper, how could she possibly handle such a situation? The dealings that warranted Mu Shuoqian personally coming over were surely big business. She, with her limited capabilities, was not yet ready to take the stage, learning from Jiang Wei was the main priority.
She was indeed impulsive just now.
Thinking this, Gu Qili suddenly felt a bit grateful to Mu Shuoqian. He always thought more thoroughly than she did.
