Chapter 233: Take a Walk to Aid Digestion
Mr. Li’s entourage included a translator and a secretary. After getting off the car, they stood aside and watched Shen Meng and Jiang Huan say their prolonged goodbyes, exchanging one sentence after another as if they had endless topics to discuss.
"Mr. Shen, look at Comrade Shen," the secretary said. "She just met this older sister, how can she be so affectionate?"
"Previously, when Comrade Hu Biao mentioned it, I really wanted to suggest not to bring her along. After all, although she understands the past of the headwear, she is still a countryside woman. I fear she will not even dare to show her face when she sees the foreign guests."
Secretary Guan was quite disdainful of Shen Meng. He believed that a rural woman with no education and culture was already fortunate to have a decent job, thanks to Mr. Li’s great kindness to her. Now she wanted to meddle in everything, which he found extremely presumptuous.
Mr. Li remained silent, the words of those around him going in one ear and out the other. He thought Shen Meng was a person with deep insights, not the type to engage in meaningless actions, and based on his observations, this Jiang Huan, although not dressed lavishly, was neat and her conversation was not vulgar. She clearly seemed like someone worldly.
After a while, Shen Meng walked up to Mr. Li’s side after parting with Jiang Huan, while Secretary Guan looked at her with a sour face.
"Comrade Shen, you’ve finally finished talking to your newly met older sister. Mr. Li has been waiting for you for a long time, and now we haven’t even found a ride!"
"No need to look, we’ll wait at the station for a bit. I reckon it’ll be about five minutes before a car comes to pick us up."
