"Sis, how do you maintain your hands? They’re so soft and smooth!"

"Sis, are all the guesthouses around here fully booked?"

"Oh dear, so many people! I’m a translator, first time here, completely unfamiliar with the place, and feeling uneasy."

Jiang Cheng showed the guesthouse lady her newly acquired work and entry permits.

The lady took one look and believed her.

She’s seen these every year, knows them all too well.

Seeing that trust was established, Jiang Cheng began to pursue her main goal.

"Sis, it’s my first time doing translation, and I’m worried about mistranslating for the manufacturers. I thought I’d play it safe by getting some product information from them first and translating it myself, so I don’t embarrass us before international guests."

What Jiang Cheng said made perfect sense, and the guesthouse lady warmly pointed her in the right direction.

"Let me tell you..."

"Those breweries stay at guesthouses around West Third Street every year..."

"The tea manufacturers prefer to stay around South Third Lane..."

The guesthouse lady knew quite a bit. After Jiang Cheng memorized some information about the manufacturers and chatted a bit more, she left.

She met up with Gao Zhonghua and Li Chunxiang, and the three of them opened a map.

Jiang Cheng took out a pen and started marking on the map.

To be honest, the location of the house that Gao Zhonghua’s friend mentioned was really excellent, almost at the center point.

"Let’s try to find a place first, and if we really can’t, we’ll go here."

Jiang Cheng made the decision, and Li Chunxiang and Gao Zhonghua naturally had no objections.

The three of them carried their luggage and walked a large circle, but found everywhere was full.

In the end, they went to the address that Gao Zhonghua mentioned.

After searching, Gao Zhonghua took out a key and opened the locked main gate.

Aside from some overgrown grass, it wasn’t messy inside.

A wave of emotion surged through Gao Zhonghua as he explained, "We have a comrade here who comes over to clean up from time to time."

No wonder.

Jiang Cheng thought, if no one regularly came to clean, the house might have been occupied by someone else by now.

No doubt, people would definitely do such things.

The house wasn’t large.

The small courtyard was only about ten square meters, with two rooms: a bedroom and a kitchen, and just one big bed.

After a glance, Gao Zhonghua said, "Sis, you two can take the bed, and I’ll use some planks to make do."

No better option was available at the moment, so they had to make do.

The three of them started tidying up.

There was a well in the yard, making water access convenient at least.

After tidying everything up and taking the important items with them, the three of them set out again.

Jiang Cheng chose the direction of the guesthouses where the breweries stayed and along the way, they found a place to eat and tried the local specialty rice noodles.

After eating, Gao Zhonghua only had one feeling: still hungry!

Fortunately, he also bought two buns.

They continued walking and eventually arrived.

Jiang Cheng put on her translator badge, work permit, and entry pass, and went in.

She used the same excuse, fearing she wouldn’t translate well the first time, so she came to familiarize herself with the products first.

The people at the first brewery were very impressed with Jiang Cheng.

They were more than willing to cooperate with such a diligent worker.

They fully understood that without translators, many of their products couldn’t be sold.

Thus, Jiang Cheng stayed there for over an hour, filling several pages with notes. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

By the time she left the guesthouse, it was getting dark.

Yet Jiang Cheng insisted on visiting another one, as time was really limited.

At the second brewery she visited, the attitude was a bit impatient, and they just tossed some materials to Jiang Cheng.

The reason was simple: they already had a translator.

Jiang Cheng didn’t push it; she just wanted to do a good job, not beg for help.

After leaving the second place, Jiang Cheng went to another guesthouse.

Li Chunxiang and Gao Zhonghua accompanied her without complaint.

The third place Jiang Cheng went to was the guesthouse for the tea manufacturers.

The tea manufacturers welcomed Jiang Cheng’s arrival and earnestly explained the history, production, and flavor of the tea.

Jiang Cheng knew that tea, textiles, and ceramics were currently the top three export products, and Hua Xia was in the seller’s market.

They weren’t worried about selling.

What Jiang Cheng needed to think about was how to maximize profits.

After leaving the first tea manufacturer’s guesthouse, Jiang Cheng decided to head back.

It was already too late.

The three of them returned to their accommodation, somewhat tired.

Once back, Li Chunxiang wouldn’t let Jiang Cheng do any work.

"I’m here to take care of you; you just focus on the brains. The rest is all on me!"

Jiang Cheng smiled gently and said, "Thanks, Chunxiang. If I get any orders, you’ll definitely get some credit."

"You’ll definitely get orders! I never doubt it."

After Li Chunxiang said this, she went to boil some water.

Inside, Jiang Cheng wasn’t idle either. She took out all the notes and information she gathered today, organizing the key points, and memorized them one by one.

Even after washing up, Jiang Cheng read for a long time, her pen writing swiftly until after one in the morning.

Sleeping past one, waking up at five in the morning.

Upon waking up, Jiang Cheng wasted no time heading to the guesthouse.

On the way, they quickly grabbed some food.

They busied themselves like this until the day of the translator training.

Jiang Cheng really didn’t want to attend. If it was etiquette training, she was confident her etiquette was more standard than anyone else’s.

Also, there was no way she’d accompany a top leadership at a summit without meeting the standards.

In the end, Jiang Cheng decided to send Li Chunxiang in her place.

Although Li Chunxiang was a bit nervous, she felt emboldened by the thought of representing Jiang Cheng.

While Jiang Cheng continued visiting manufacturers to learn about the products, Li Chunxiang went to the training venue.

At the entrance, the staff checked her credentials, calling out her name, "Jiang Cheng?"

Li Chunxiang was about to say "not her" when a surprised female voice interrupted.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Director Mu quickly turned around, looking around.

No sign of Jiang Cheng.

Li Chunxiang timidly raised a hand, looking at Director Mu and said, "Comrade Jiang Cheng had something urgent, I’m here to attend in her place."

"Nonsense!"

A voice called out "Nonsense" from the second-floor stairs.

A middle-aged man came to the reception desk, checking Li Chunxiang’s credentials.

"You’re not Jiang Cheng?"

Li Chunxiang shook her head.

Jiang Cheng had said there was no need to lie.

"Nonsense! Such an important meeting, and she’s absent. How can she do her job with such an attitude?"

"If she doesn’t want to attend, I don’t think we need her for the upcoming translation work!"

"No way!"

"Absolutely no way!"

As soon as the middle-aged man’s voice fell, two voices immediately objected.

Director Mu and Director Leng were both quick to argue.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng is not like that; I vouch for her with my persona."

"Exactly, Comrade Jiang Cheng is truly dedicated to the country’s progress, working with 100% sincerity for Hua Xia’s rise!"

After Director Mu said this, she turned to Li Chunxiang and asked, "Comrade, tell us, what is Comrade Jiang Cheng up to?"

Li Chunxiang stood up straight and loudly said, "Comrade Jiang Cheng is visiting the guesthouses where various manufacturers stay, gathering product information to prepare thoroughly for the trade fair translations."

"She said, only by understanding the products can she translate with confidence!"
