Guan Shouheng's Different Kind of Gentleness(2/2)
"As far as I know...Miss Mint was in charge of the art exhibition hall before. How is she?" Zhuo Xi asked directly by name.
"She is not the only person who has been responsible for this."
"But I think she's the best fit."
"Everyone in the language center is very capable. Don't worry, Mr. Zhuo, no matter who it is, they will help you with your translation work!"
"But I'm familiar with her, so it might be easier to communicate." Zhuo Xi's tone began to sound provocative.
Guan Shouheng's black eyes are indeed a bit sharper. Are they familiar with each other?
"Mr. Zhuo, in my humble opinion, talking about 'friends' would be detrimental at work. It is better to keep public and private affairs separate. What do you think?" Guan Shouheng said righteously.
Zhuo Xi secretly wanted to laugh, distinguishing between public and private? Who can't distinguish between public and private now?
"Mr. Guan, why don't we ask Miss Bo what she means?"
Guan Shouheng smiled slowly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Okay, I'll ask her to come over right away." Her slender fingers pressed the intercom on the desktop, which directly connected to the French team's switchboard.
Toot——
After only two calls, he hung up, obviously not sincerely calling people over.
But someone happened to be against him, and the phone was picked up the next second.
"Hello, this is the French group. What instructions does Mr. Guan have?" The girl who answered the phone knew his number by heart and asked.
Guan Shouheng instantly felt the urge to fire this person, gritted his teeth and said, "Give me some mint!"
"Yes, Mr. Guan, please wait a moment." The girl on the phone said quickly.
Guan Shouheng secretly gritted his teeth and tightened his jaw.
Soon, the call was transferred to Mint's extension, "Hello?"
"It's me..." Guan Shouheng paused and said reluctantly, "Zhuoxi is in my office, please come over!"
Zhuoxi?
Mint was stunned for a moment while holding the phone, and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
After the phone was disconnected, Guan Shouheng was in a worse mood. Didn't she even ask what was going on? When she heard that Zhuoxi was here, she flew over like a happy bird!
Didn't you leave in a hurry in the morning?
He snorted silently, secretly unhappy.
Not long after, Mint came to the 28th floor again. Fortunately, she already had a card and could use the card to take the elevator. Otherwise, her legs would be broken going back and forth!
She knocked lightly, then pushed the door open and saw a more familiar man in the office.
"Mr. Guan." She nodded to Guan Shouheng first, and then said hello to Zhuo Xi. However, she was not so familiar with Zhuo Xi, so she called his name softly, "Zhuo Xi."
Guan Shouheng's black eyes suddenly narrowed, gathering a strong storm.
"Miss Bo!" He also deliberately did not call her by name, but said in a serious tone with a businesslike attitude, "I called you here because I have work matters to discuss. Please sit down!"
Mint noticed his strange aura, frowned subconsciously, reached out to pull out the chair, and planned to sit down, but Zhuo Xi, who was sitting next to her, was a step faster and pulled the chair out for her in a gentlemanly manner.
Thanks!
She said silently, only looking at Zhuo Xi with her eyes, communicating with her eyes.
Zhuo Xi slightly curled his lips, with a gentle look on his face.
Guan Shouheng saw the tacit interaction between the two of them. They looked calm on the surface, but their eyes were as bright as fire.
"Mr. Zhuo needs a French translator." He directly mentioned business matters, "Ms. Bo, you were in charge of the art exhibition hall before. How do you feel about it?"
Mint also told the truth, "It was a bit difficult at the beginning..."
"Mr. Zhuo, you heard me, Miss Bo is not suitable!" Guan Shouheng interrupted her without waiting for her to finish speaking, and turned to look at Zhuo Xi with a firm gaze.
Zhuo Xi met his gaze and said not to be outdone, "Everyone needs to make progress, as long as they are willing to work hard!"
"That's true, but the expo is about to open, and we can't allow people to take their time. We must make sure to enter the situation as quickly as possible!" Guan Shouheng said strictly.
Mint couldn't help but feel annoyed. Was he questioning her ability?
"Mr. Guan, I can do it! I am confident and can do the job!" she said firmly.
Zhuo Xi also added fuel to the fire and said encouragingly, "I also believe you can do it!"
Mint straightened her back and her eyes became more persistent.
Now Guan Shouheng has no choice but to object, otherwise he will look stingy.
"Okay, let's do this for now. You give it a try. If it doesn't work, change someone else!" His words deliberately left room for leeway.
Mint answered proudly, "I will definitely do it well!"
Guan Shouheng twitched the corners of his lips and smiled stiffly.
Zhuo Xi stood up from his seat and reached out to Mint, "Happy cooperation!"
"Definitely!" Mint replied with a smile.
Guan Shouheng stood up and stepped in between the two of them, so the handshake between the two became a three-person handshake. The atmosphere was as weird as possible.
"Mr. Guan, I'll take my leave first," Zhuo Xi said after shaking hands.
"I'm going back to work first." Mint was also ready to leave.
Guan Shouheng stared slightly, "You stay here first, I still have some things to explain."
Mint had no choice but to stay.
"Mr. Guan, do you have any other instructions?" she asked suspiciously.
Guan Shouheng took out a piece of her free writing materials and praised slowly, "Well done!"
Mint narrowed her beautiful eyes and stared at him fiercely.
After a stalemate for several seconds, Guan Shouheng slowly looked away and said in a deep voice, "It's okay. You can go back to work."
Bo Min strode out of the office and found that Zhuo Xi had disappeared.
***
After taking on the new work task, Bo Mint became even busier, because the original task could not be left behind, and Zhuo Xi was not always at the convention and exhibition center. He only came to see her when he needed translation.
The biggest change was that she needed to go to the exhibition hall with Zhuo Xi, because the artists had to conduct on-site inspections, and as a translator, she naturally had to follow them.
In this way, she would have more opportunities to go to the main building and take the elevator.
With a "ding-" sound, the elevator door slowly opened to both sides. She stepped in, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar handsome face.
"Going to the exhibition hall?" There was a hint of displeasure in Guan Shouheng's deep voice.
Mint stubbornly raised his chin slightly and replied, "Yes, Mr. Guan."
Guan Shouheng's brows furrowed aggressively, but as soon as he glanced at the water glass in her hand, his expression immediately softened a lot, and even turned into a bright light.
The elevator dinged again and reached a certain floor. Mint nodded to him and stepped out of the door.
She made an appointment with Zhuo Xi to meet several French painters later, and the conversation was expected to take a long time, so she was fully prepared. In addition to the necessary information, she also specially brought a water glass to prevent her mouth from drying out during the process.
Dryness affects the quality of translation.
Before entering the exhibition hall, she habitually took a sip of water to moisten her throat.
The cool liquid slid into her throat, bringing a burst of refreshment, just like the cup of mint flowers on her body, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
