Chapter 144 [Meeting Wang Lichuan 5]
That day, Chen Meijuan introduced a job to Xie Xiaoqiu and translated the work conversation between three people on the spot.
But these three people are French, German and Italian. They all speak Italian but not much English. This makes Xiaoqiu worried as she cannot communicate normally.
It was too late to quit now. At this moment, Xie Xiaoqiu remembered Professor Lin, Lin Youyou, who seemed to be proficient in many languages. They had just added each other’s contact information, so she called Lin Youyou and said, “Teacher Lin, help me. I have a job here. Three of the customers can speak Italian, but their English is very poor. Teacher Lin, I remember that you can speak many languages. Can you help me when you are free?”
"Okay, send me the address and I'll be there right away." Youyou said.
"Okay, thank you Teacher Lin." Xie Xiaoqiu said gratefully.
With the addition of Youyou, the translation work went very smoothly. Youyou translated the other party's Italian into English, and Xiaoqiu then translated it into Chinese. The two people cooperated very well.
Things ended perfectly, and Youyou was about to leave. Xiaoqiu stopped Youyou and said, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll treat you to a meal, and I'll give you half of today's translation fee."
"No need, you can keep the translation fees for yourself and just treat me to a meal." Youyou said with a smile.
"No, Teacher Lin, I must give you this money. After all, you have put in so much effort today. If it weren't for you, I would have messed up this mission." Xie Xiaoqiu said.
"Okay, I said no, so you can treat me to a meal to offset it." Youyou said.
"Okay, Teacher Lin, let's go eat. Teacher Lin, do you have any food restrictions?" Xie Xiaoqiu asked.
"No, I'm not very picky. Since you're treating me, you can choose the place. I'm fine with anything." Youyou said.
"Okay, Teacher Lin, would you like to eat barbecue?" Xie Xiaoqiu asked cautiously, because a rich man like him would definitely not eat open-air barbecue.
"Sure, do you like skewers too? I told you that I often went out to eat when I was in college, but I did it without telling my family. My family didn't allow me to eat those things. Now I miss the taste so much." Youyou said with a smile.
"Teacher Lin, where did you go to college?" Xie Xiaoqiu asked.
"In China, it's the school where I'm working now. Because of family reasons, I went abroad to study in my junior year, and now I'm back." Youyou said.
"Ah, I didn't expect it, Teacher Lin. Then we are alumni." Xie Xiaoqiu said in surprise.
"Yeah, so you still call me Teacher Lin?" Youyou said.
"Then what should I call you? Senior sister?" Xie Xiaoqiu asked.
"I'm much older than you. So, you can just call me Aunt Lin. No need to call me senior sister. After all, I can't act younger at my age." Youyou said.
"How could that be? When Aunt Lin goes out with me, we are like sisters." Xie Xiaoqiu said.
"Hahaha, you have such a sweet mouth. I'll take you to the best barbecue stall I've ever eaten at. You will definitely praise the food there after you try it." Youyou said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'd like to try it." Xie Xiaoqiu said.
So, Youyou drove Xie Xiaoqiu around several streets and finally parked the car in an alley.
Youyou got off the car and took Xiaoqiu to a shop that didn't have a big sign, with only the four words "Wang Jie BBQ" written in chalk.
It was not even dark yet, but the place was already packed with people. Youyou and Xiaoqiu finally found an empty seat and said to the proprietress, "Sister Wang, it's the same as usual. I brought a friend here today. In addition to the usual dishes, please serve some of the other signature dishes."
"Good, you're here. You haven't been here for a long time. Niuniu missed you so much and has been talking about you for some time." said the proprietress.
"I miss Niu Niu too. I just returned to Shanghai not long ago. I will come to see you at home some other day." Youyou said.
"Okay, when you come, let me know and I'll ask my family to cook some delicious food to treat you," said the proprietress.
"Oh, Sister Wang, you are always so polite." Youyou said.
"You've helped us a lot over the years. I always remember you and can't forget you," said the proprietress.
"Sister Wang, you took good care of me when we were in college. This is what I should do." Youyou said.
"Then don't be polite to me. I treat you as my own sister in my heart." said the proprietress.
"Okay, Sister Wang, I won't be polite with you anymore." Youyou said with a smile.
"That's about right." The proprietress also smiled.
Soon, the skewers came up. They were delicious and I couldn’t stop drooling before I even put them in my mouth.
Xiaoqiu picked up a skewer of beef and put it into her mouth. The juice immediately flowed down the corners of her mouth. It was not very spicy, but very delicious. The outside was crispy and the inside was juicy, making people want to eat more.
Xiao Qiu praised, "Auntie Lin, this is really delicious. It's full of juice and has a lingering fragrance. It makes people want to savor it."
"Yeah, the craftsmanship of this shop is still as good as before, and it still tastes like the one I had in college. I always missed this taste during those years I was abroad, and now I can finally taste it." Youyou exclaimed.
