Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Too Childish

Director Lu and Director Lian watched Jiang Cheng’s daily operations, already able to do so without being ruffled.

The two of them carried large hemp bags and went upstairs first.

Jiang Cheng continued to chat a bit more with the guesthouse auntie.

Left a compliment that she’s beautiful, right a praise for her natural beauty.

The auntie’s smile was so wide you could see her molars.

Seeing the timing was right, Jiang Cheng finally went upstairs.

Director Lu and Director Lian were waiting for her in the room, and they quickly stood up when they saw her come in.

"Sit here!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I made you some instant noodles and a box of luncheon meat to tide you over."

Director Lu and Director Lian had been concerned that Jiang Cheng hadn’t had dinner, so as soon as they went upstairs, they looked for something for her to eat.

The smell reminded Jiang Cheng that she had indeed forgotten to eat dinner.

"Oh—slipped through the cracks."

Jiang Cheng’s exclamation startled Director Lu and Director Lian.

"What, is there a loophole in the contract?"

"Was today a wasted effort?"

Jiang Cheng quickly shook her head and said, trying to sound deep: "It slipped through the cracks.... forgot to freeload a meal."

Director Lu felt itchy-handed, wanting to hit someone.

Director Lian had many words he didn’t know how to express civilly.

"Just joking! Don’t be nervous, let’s eat together."

Jiang Cheng pulled Director Lu and Director Lian to sit down, and the three of them "luxuriously" ate instant noodles and luncheon meat.

Not a drop of noodle soup was left, they drank it all.

Finally filling their stomachs, Director Lu reminded a few things about closing the door before heading back to the room.

After closing the door, Director Lian looked at Jiang Cheng and said: "If you wake up at night, call me, don’t go out on your own."

"You must call me!"

"Okay, I’ll definitely call you."

Jiang Cheng agreed, and Director Lian hoped she wouldn’t sleep too soundly and would listen for any noise.

After the night passed, Director Lian groggily opened her eyes and suddenly remembered she was in the guesthouse.

"Jiang Cheng!"

"Sister Lian, I’m here."

Jiang Cheng, who was already up, sat at the desk looking over at Director Lian.

Director Lian felt relieved seeing Jiang Cheng, but simultaneously guilty: she had slept too soundly.

Director Lian got herself ready, and Jiang Cheng was also tidying up.

Ten minutes later, the three of them met in the hallway and went downstairs.

Just as they got downstairs, the guesthouse auntie was waving with a basket of vegetables.

"Xiao Jiang, come here!"

Jiang Cheng immediately put on a brilliant smile and ran over, warmly calling out: "Sister!"

The guesthouse auntie affectionately pulled Jiang Cheng aside to introduce: "I switched shifts, this is Xiao Fenger, you can find her if you need anything."

"Sister, you’re so good to me! My grandmother said I would meet great people outside, and she was really spot on."

After praising the guesthouse auntie, Jiang Cheng turned to the younger Mr. Feng.

"Mr. Feng, your hairstyle is too stylish!"

No need to look, no need to ask, Jiang Cheng had absolutely united every possible force she could.

After the daily interaction, Jiang Cheng and Director Lu went out together to find a place to eat.

On the way, Director Lu asked, puzzled: "Jiang Cheng, is it useful to get along well with the guesthouse staff?"

Jiang Cheng shrugged her shoulders and said: "I don’t know, it’s just convenient!"

Director Lu admired her and gave a thumbs up.

You can tell she’s capable of getting things done!

The three of them had breakfast at a state-owned restaurant, each with a bowl of wontons.

After filling their bellies, they took a state-owned tricycle to the Foreign Affairs Hotel.

On the way, Jiang Cheng communicated warmly with the tricycle driver in Sea City dialect.

These current tricycles were from the state-owned factory, running all across Sea City and knowing quite a bit.

Jiang Cheng was generous with gifts, stuffing a big handful of candy over, and the driver was happy to chat away with her.

By the time they arrived at the Foreign Affairs Hotel, Jiang Cheng was already calling him Brother Shan.

After getting off the tricycle, Jiang Cheng directly took the proof document issued by Director Mu and entered the Foreign Affairs Hotel.

Today, all three of them were dressed very well.

Respect is given to clothes first, then to people.

Dressing formally represented their serious and earnest attitude.

Jiang Cheng stopped a waiter to inquire about the restaurant’s location.

She had investigated it.

These foreigners rarely got up early, usually around nine o’clock.

After the waiter pointed out the direction, Jiang Cheng and the others walked to the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they received most people’s attention.

The interpreters didn’t recognize them, nor did the foreigners.

"Oh—Jiang? How come you’re here?"

The MD businessman from yesterday stood up, looking surprisingly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng immediately showed a sincere smile and walked over to the two MD people.

"I’m leaving in a few days. Yesterday, you left too hastily. I didn’t get to give away the gifts I wanted to."

"Yesterday, I pleaded with the foreign trade people to issue me a proof and allow me to personally deliver the gifts."

Jiang Cheng took the bag Director Lu was holding and began taking out the individually packaged gifts one by one.

"This is tea unique to Hua Xia."

A beautiful tin with landscape paintings was placed on the table.

"What a beautiful tin!"

"I’m glad you like it. Also, this is Sea City’s special Little White Rabbit Milk Candy, this is the extra sweet version, would you like to try it?"

"Extra sweet?"

A foreigner walked over with interest, casually asking: "How sweet? I’ve tried your candy before, it’s just average."

Jiang Cheng simply smiled without speaking, silently unwrapping a candy and handing it over.

"Please try it, regular people can’t get this candy."

Jiang Cheng: She wasn’t joking! Regular people really can’t get it.

Because it’s her special recipe.

She melted bought milk candy and added white sugar to it.

Foreigners’ sweetness tolerance for sugar, for Hua Xia people, is a lethal dose.

So the current domestic candy is quite "mild" for foreigners.

The foreigner opposite took it with interest, placing it in his mouth.

"Oh—my god! I like it!"

Other foreigners heard and also came over to taste.

Jiang Cheng smiled softly and took two steps back, noticing one of the buyers Director Mu mentioned through the corner of her eye.

Easy to recognize, blonde-haired blue-eyed, six feet three, male.

He was looking toward Jiang Cheng’s side with genuine interest.

That smile was condescending, as if Jiang Cheng and the others were mice, and he was the cat in control of life and death.

Jiang Cheng strategized.

Seems like the usual tactics wouldn’t work.

Then... change the approach.

Jiang Cheng continued to take things out.

"This is a bamboo-weaved vase."

"Oh my! How is this made!"

"Can bamboo really be made into vases? Doesn’t it leak?"

Several foreigners unknowingly gathered around, unable to resist praising the items Jiang Cheng displayed.

Some even asked if they could purchase some.

Upon hearing, Jiang Cheng repeatedly showed a nervous expression.

"I can’t make that decision; I also bought these as gifts."

"How about this? Let me ask for you, okay?"

"Alright, alright, don’t worry, I’ll write down the quantity you want, but don’t have high expectations."

Jiang Cheng humbly wrote down many foreign individual orders.

After noting it down, Jiang Cheng shook hands with the two MD people, acting like she was ready to leave.

The tall blonde blue-eyed foreigner smirked and shook his head.

He bet this person didn’t want to leave.

Such a sales method to pique others’ interest was too juvenile.

This show today was just to catch his attention.

Not to mention, she did take out decent stuff, but the initiative must be under his control.

The man’s expression was lazily observing Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was saying goodbye.

Jiang Cheng picked up the bag.

Jiang Cheng... left.
