chapter Ten
Wang Meifang finally understood why her husband was so wrong today. She immediately understood the look in her daughter's hand and smiled and gave Lin Guoqiang a chopstick dish: "Baozhu has been busy dating Mr. Qian recently, and he has recently accepted a TV series.
Being a maid in it requires a lot of roles. The child doesn't even have time to sleep, so how can she be allowed to delay the progress of the brochure."
Then he looked at Lin Qin: "Xiao Qin is so humble. He has been abroad for so many years. If he can't even translate a brochure, wouldn't he be throwing the family's money into the water? Let Xiao Qin give it a try."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Guoqiang and others looked at Lin Qin.
Lin Qin had been immersed in eating food. She had to eat enough before leaving. After finishing the food in her mouth, she wiped her mouth with a tissue: "I studied abroad for seven years, and my father gave me a total of 50,000 yuan. Only
Are you afraid that a bag of orbs is not worth as much?"
Lin Guoqiang and Wang Meifang were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Lin Qin's focus was here. Lin Guoqiang looked very bad: "What? Do you blame dad for not giving you money?"
Lin Qin smiled: "That's not true. I was washing dishes every day in order to earn tuition fees abroad, and my English was average. So I'm afraid that the translation of the brochure will not meet the level you require." She really felt that she was not good at it.
Generally speaking, there is still a lot of room for improvement. It is not a lie to say this.
The main reason is that she has too many things on her hands right now, so she doesn't want to take on this job. And this is the first time she has done it, and it has happened countless times.
"You child, it seems that you are blaming the family. Guoqiang, I think you should hire someone to translate. If Xiaoqin doesn't want to, don't embarrass her." Wang Meifang comforted Lin Guoqiang.
Lin Guoqiang's face became more and more ugly. Thinking that he had to spend 30,000 yuan for free, his heart was bleeding. He stared at Lin Qin: "What? I raised you to such a big age and provided you with education.
Can you even translate a brochure for your family?"
Lin Qin has long been accustomed to this kind of scene where Lin Guoqiang is easily angered by Wang Meifang. In the past, she would panic every time she encountered this kind of situation, but now she can face it calmly.
She smiled and said: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to. First, I'm afraid that I won't meet your requirements. Second, I've been short of money recently and have taken on a lot of casual work. You also know that the Gu family doesn't have much money. Dad, I see.
Otherwise, I will translate this manual and you can give me the 30,000 yuan. After all, the good news will not go to outsiders." She didn't lie to her father by saying she had a part-time job. Recently, she accepted a colleague from a global technology summit.
The life of audio interpretation.
Lin Guoqiang was stunned. He obviously wanted to save the money, so why did he still have to spend it in the end? But when he heard about the Gu family, he felt guilty.
Wang Meifang and Lin Baozhu didn't dare to say anything after hearing the word "Gu family".
Lin Baozhu even sneaked back to the room on the pretext that she was full.
Lin Qin hadn't finished her words yet, "Dad, there is also the matter about the courtyard, please take a look."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Guoqiang immediately interrupted Lin Qin: "Okay, I will give you 30,000 yuan and you translate the brochure." He avoided talking about the courtyard.
Lin Qin knew that her father would never ask her for free translation again. As for the Siheyuan matter, she did not expect to get it back this time.
Before Grandpa Lin died, he told Lin Guoqiang in front of Lin Qin that the courtyard house left by Lin Qin's biological mother Shen Shuyun would be returned to Lin Qin when Lin Qin came of age. Lin Qin, who was 12 years old at the time, was lying on the bedside crying.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. It was then that she realized that her own mother had left a courtyard house for herself.
When she was eighteen years old, Lin Qin mustered up the courage to talk to Lin Guoqiang about the courtyard house. She only remembered that he looked very bad at the time, and later rejected her because she was still young.
Lin Qin never mentioned it again.
After so many years of Chinese New Year, she is no longer the little girl she was back then.
One of the conditions when she agreed to get married that day was to take back the Siheyuan. Lin Guoqiang was obviously hesitant at that time, and he hesitated for a long time before agreeing. He only said that Siheyuan was currently in the teahouse business, and it would be a huge loss to suddenly vacate it, and he needed some time.
Lin Qin agreed. The Lin family originally started their business by opening a teahouse in this courtyard. She had known that Lin Guoqiang would not easily return the courtyard to her.
She took a step back and said that she could transfer the ownership of the courtyard first and continue to rent it to her family for business at half the market price.
When Lin Qin said it, both Lin Guoqiang and Wang Meifang were shocked. Lin Guoqiang was obviously unwilling, but Wang Meifang kept urging Lin Guoqiang.
Lin Guoqiang reluctantly agreed.
Later, Lin Qin asked Lin Guoqiang to write a letter of commitment.
Because of this, Lin Guoqiang scolded her and said she was too evil-minded. However, Lin Qin insisted, and Lin Guoqiang was urged by Wang Meifang to write it.
In fact, even if Lin Guoqiang didn't sign, she would still agree to the marriage, because it concerns her grandfather who raised her from childhood. This was just an additional request she made in passing, and it was nothing if she didn't mention it.
She took the brochure with satisfaction and left. Before leaving, she shamelessly asked Lin Guoqiang to transfer the money first.
Lin Guoqiang looked at Lin Qin's disappearing back and suddenly slapped his head, "Hey, for the same money, it's better to hire a professional to translate. Who knows what Lin Qin's translation will be like."
Wang Meifang looked at her husband who had stolen the chicken but lost the rice and said: "I told you before that your daughter is not simple. If I had known earlier, it would be better to give Baozhu the 30,000 yuan and let her translate."
"Didn't you say Baozhu doesn't have time?"
Wang Meifang didn't worry about the 30,000 yuan anymore. She cared more about the courtyard than this. She brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Lin Guoqiang, "Are you really going to transfer the ownership of the courtyard to Lin Qin?"
Lin Guoqiang took the teacup, took a sip, and glanced sideways at her, "Didn't you force me to agree that day?"
When Wang Meifang heard this, she became anxious and sat next to him, "You still don't know what I mean? I asked you to promise Qinqin first, and you won't give it later, isn't it? That promise letter is just a piece of waste paper.
How can she, a daughter, refute you, a father? I'm afraid that other people's spit will drown her."
Lin Guoqiang looked at Wang Meifang and said calmly: "You have already thought about it for me, and you still ask me what to do?"
Wang Meifang immediately beamed: "Anyway, you have to know that this courtyard must be left to your son Baoshan. If you give it to Lin Qin, you will give it to the Gu family. You don't want to be taken advantage of by the Gu family, right?"
"I understand. I still know the importance of my son and daughter, not to mention that Lin Qin is not as promising as Baozhu."
Lin Qin came out of Lin's house and took a taxi directly to her best friend Cheng Wenxiu's cafe.
Lin Qin majored in simultaneous interpretation as a master's degree student. Later, in order to further improve her simultaneous interpretation skills, she also studied for a doctorate in Western literature.
Cheng Wenxiu has been studying art. After returning to China a few years ago, he worked as a freelance art editor and opened a coffee shop in the Science and Technology City. This location is very good, next to the famous M Technology Company. So away from Wenyili
The community is also very close.
Lin Qin also has a stake in this coffee shop, but Lin Qin had agreed at the beginning that she would not be involved in the management of the coffee shop and would only pay dividends at the end of the year.
This is Lin Qin's first time here. The ordering area of the coffee shop is stylishly decorated, but the reception area on the other side is laid out in a leisurely manner. The walls are covered with books, and there are also many Wenxiu paintings hanging on them. By the window, the book wall
There are also a lot of green plants nearby. In this fast-paced technology city, it really feels like a pure land.
Cheng Wenxiu originally opened this cafe just to realize her dream: to open a cafe with many books and her own paintings. It didn't matter whether she made money or not. Her parents didn't look down on her and the little money she earned anyway.
Who knew that business would be unexpectedly good after opening?
The hall is almost full, some are for two people per table, chatting while drinking coffee; some are for three to five people, holding computers and discussing work.
But it didn't seem noisy. Everyone spoke in a tacit understanding and lowered their voices.
Lin Qin fell in love with this place at first sight, and at the same time she admired Wenxiu very much. She didn't expect that she managed this coffee shop so well.
She ordered an American cup and found the only vacant table and sat down. Just as she was about to send a message to Cheng Wenxiu, she felt that her eyes were being covered.
"Cheng Wenxiu." Lin Qin was not surprised at all and called out her name calmly. She had already sent a message to Cheng Wenxiu before coming.
"Hmph, you, the second shareholder, still know that you are here to inspect the property." Cheng Wenxiu put down his hands, sat on the stool opposite Lin Qin, and then looked at his friend with a smile: "What do the second shareholders think of this place? Are you satisfied?
"
Lin Qin smiled and said: "Very, special, especially good." Then he sat down and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, major shareholder."
Cheng Wenxiu raised her chin proudly, "No, it cost me a lot of effort. I really envy you for being such a hands-off shopkeeper. You can just wait for the dividends at the end of the year."
But Lin Qin didn't feel guilty at all. She smiled with her eyes bent: "This was agreed upon at the beginning. I will only provide capital and not manage it. As for dividing the money," she said with a playful smile: "I didn't expect that.
You will make money, and I have already prepared that the money I invested will never come back. Who could have imagined that there would be such an unexpected surprise."
Cheng Wenxiu stood up and went to pinch his friend's face: "Okay, so you don't believe me so much."
"You said it doesn't matter whether you make money or not."
The two chatted and laughed quietly for a while. Lin Qin then got back to business: "I have something to come to you for today." After saying that, he took out the brochure and talked about what happened at noon today, "Didn't you say last time?
Have you recruited a summer student from Beijing who is a senior majoring in translation? Doesn’t it mean that she is very hardworking and has to work several jobs at the same time? I would like to ask her to translate, do you think it’s okay?”
"Why isn't this possible? Our Qinqin people are kind-hearted. I'll call him over, and you can ask him yourself." As soon as Cheng Wenxiu finished speaking, she waved to a waiter in the distance.
