Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Gifts

Jiang Cheng prepared beer for Mr. Laine.

Something D people love most, Laine really missed it.

Beer was just the appetizer, she also prepared authentic D country cuisine, roast pork knuckle.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng thoughtfully prepared juice for Andrew.

Jiang Cheng ran to many supply and sales cooperatives for this apple juice.

The four of them sat around the dining table, eating the dishes Jiang Cheng had carefully prepared, making Mr. and Mrs. Laine feel at home for a moment.

"Jiang—I can’t believe how much thought you’ve put into this."

Mrs. Laine expressed her gratitude, Jiang Cheng smiled and shook her head.

"That’s because you deserve it."

"I know these words shouldn’t be said by me..."

Corner of Director Mu: It’s starting!

Jiang Cheng hesitated, took a deep breath.

"Our country is still at a nascent stage, yet you chose to come to Hua Xia at this time. As a Hua Xia person, I thank you!"

"Although I’m just a small translator, we Hua Xia people inherently understand gratitude."

"I may not be able to give grand gifts, but I’m willing to make an effort to see your happiness."

Mr. and Mrs. Laine were moved by Jiang Cheng’s heartfelt words, and after being moved, they felt a bit guilty.

Because they have decided to delay their investment decision.

"Jiang—we haven’t decided to invest this time—"

Jiang Cheng looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding why they were telling her this.

"Investment is a big thing, how can it be decided hastily."

"Each decision you make affects many people below, such things certainly require deep consideration."

"I believe when you make this decision, it must be the most appropriate one at the moment!"

Jiang Cheng’s understanding made Mr. and Mrs. Laine feel even more appreciated.

In the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Laine, Jiang Cheng is a kind, sincere person who truly has their interests at heart!

Ordinary people would probably leverage Andrew’s rescue to directly request them to invest.

But Jiang Cheng never mentioned it, instead, she cared about whether they were eating well.

Mrs. Laine emotionally grabbed Jiang Cheng’s hand.

"Jiang, you are the kindest girl I’ve ever met!"

"Thank you for your praise, Mrs. Laine, I think so too!"

Jiang Cheng playfully winked, the atmosphere around the dining table couldn’t be better.

A harmonious and delightful dinner thus ended, Jiang Cheng took out three wrapped gifts, giving them to the Laine family.

"This is something I prepared myself, hope you like it."

Mr. and Mrs. Laine opened their respective boxes.

Mrs. Laine pulled out a wooden cross, intricately carved, not a single burr, with a faint wood scent.

At first glance, Mr. and Mrs. Laine fell in love with it.

This cross gave a simple and natural feel, making her feel slightly closer to the call to the Lord.

"Jiang, I love it very much! Really love it! Thank you!"

Mrs. Laine thanked, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Next was Mr. Laine’s gift.

It was a stack of cards.

A stack of D language-written cards, recorded with all the recipes of today’s dishes.

The gift absolutely wasn’t expensive, could even be called without spending money, yet Mr. Laine was touched by such an unpretentious gift.

"Jiang, thank you! I like them very much! I love the taste of these dishes."

Jiang Cheng still smiled sincerely.

As long as you like it!

Whenever you make these dishes in the future, you will remember that there’s someone in Hua Xia who gave you a recipe.

Jiang Cheng did not believe, eating her dishes every day, that Mr. and Mrs. Laine wouldn’t come back to invest.

Mr. and Mrs. Laine finished, only Andrew was left.

Andrew was a bit excited because his gift was the biggest.

Andrew opened the box, his small mouth opened round, surprised to pull out one of the comic books inside.

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

Andrew spoke in imperfect pronunciation, Jiang Cheng immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"

Andrew eagerly showcased his gift.

"Mom—this is a complete set of Journey to the West!"

"Wow, it’s all handwritten translations on it!"

"I love it so much!"

Andrew’s excitement was seen by Mr. and Mrs. Laine.

Their liking for Jiang Cheng was evident, a handwritten translated version of Journey to the West comics, absolutely unique.

More importantly, the time and effort put behind this book moved both deeply.

This moment, at this moment.

Both felt it’s a sin not to spend money.

"Jiang—you are really too good! Please allow us to do something."

Jiang Cheng seemed startled by Mr. and Mrs. Laine’s words, she wanted to say something but swallowed it with a smile and a shake of her head.

"Jiang, you can say it directly, we are very willing to help you."

Mr. and Mrs. Laine were very sincere.

Jiang Cheng was also moved by this sincerity, looking embarrassed and said, "I want... I want to trouble you to introduce a plastic production line to our Sea City plastic factory."

In Mr. and Mrs. Laine’s minds flashed many potential requests Jiang Cheng might make.

But they never thought it would be this.

"Plastic factory?"

Mr. Laine continued puzzled, "Do you have any connection with the plastic factory?"

Jiang Cheng immediately shook her head.

"No connection whatsoever! If Sea City didn’t need plastic film, I couldn’t have come to Sea City."

Mr. and Mrs. Laine exchanged a look, even more puzzled.

"Then why not ask for something for yourself, instead of for a factory director?"

Jiang Cheng’s bright smile paired with her clear eyes, her face was a picture of sincerity.

"Because they need it more!"

Because they need it more, those few words were resounding, powerful.

At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Laine suddenly felt very small.

The vastness of the girl’s vision before them, beyond their imagination.

Mr. Laine was the first to stand up, extending his hand to Jiang Cheng: "Jiang, I admire you."

"Thank you!"

After a talk, Mr. and Mrs. Laine couldn’t have a better impression of Jiang Cheng.

Combined with Andrew’s presence, the four of them talked for a long time.

As they chatted, Mr. and Mrs. Laine decided to purchase a batch of wooden jigsaw blocks and hard puzzles from Sea City’s toy factory.

Jiang Cheng constantly tried to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Laine.

"I just gave Andrew these to play with, not to make you spend money."

"Please do not!"

Jiang Cheng kept blocking, while Mr. and Mrs. Laine kept adding orders.

As for the Sea City toy factory currently not having these two products... it’s not important!

They just wanted to spend money for Jiang Cheng!

Jiang Cheng was sweating trying to stop them!

The persona today was crafted perhaps a bit too successfully!

Director Mu in the corner was also seeing such a scene for the first time.

Hua Xia trying to stop the opposition from spending money, while the opposition insisted on spending money.

Director Mu had a bit of memory confusion for a moment.

This scene seemed like when giving red envelopes in childhood.

Anyways, Mr. and Mrs. Laine didn’t invest, but didn’t come for nothing.

Most importantly, the fishing line Jiang Cheng cast was long enough, it was cast all the way to their dining table.

Jiang Cheng was confident, next time Mr. and Mrs. Laine come, investment will surely follow.
