Ch 33: I Want To Take You To The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Meeting
“What’s wrong, Sisi?”
Zhou Xiaofei was in a bad mood and didn’t want to deal with Gu Sisi.
Gu Sisi closed the door, frowned, and said, “What that country bumpkin said is true. She probably really earned three hundred yuan. After school today, I passed by her clothing store with a few classmates. Four of my classmates bought clothes, and they alone spent over one hundred yuan. Not to mention, she was busy all day, and there must have been other customers. I just can’t figure it out. You know, she’s a country bumpkin from the countryside, but the clothes in her store are quite pretty.”
Gu Sisi knew perfectly well that she sold so much money in a short time; she must have been in the shop for ten hours a day, and she surely sold more at other times.
I guess there are many styles there that many people like, whether it’s young girls or older women, they all look good in them.
Zhou Xiaofei was stunned when she heard this. This wasn’t what she wanted to see. She had thought that Shen Mingyue opening a clothing store was a joke, that she would lose money, and her family would look down on her even more.
Unexpectedly, she earned so much on the first day of opening. She is a teacher, and she works hard, but she doesn’t even earn one hundred yuan a month. That woman earned so much in one day. Compared to that? Who is the real clown?
Although in the Gu family, making money is not a standard for measuring a person’s ability, but the premise is that one earns little. At Shen Mingyue’s earning speed, everyone would have to look up to her.
“Is it really that good? Don’t you dislike her? Why did you let your classmates buy her clothes?”
Zhou Xiaofei felt that Gu Sisi was useless and couldn’t even handle this matter.
Gu Sisi sighed, “Do you think I wanted to? When they saw those dresses, their eyes lit up, and I couldn’t stop them. What’s even more annoying is that the price wasn’t cheap, and they bought them without blinking. I’m really impressed.”
Gu Sisi didn’t even dare to say that she also liked those clothes; if it weren’t for face, she would have bought two dresses as well.
Which child living in the compound doesn’t have some pocket money? They are all relatively wealthy. Shen Mingyue chose the right place.
Zhou Xiaofei was angry, but she couldn’t help it, and she couldn’t say it too clearly.
“Sometimes, when buying clothes, you can’t only look at the style; you also have to look at the quality. Otherwise, what’s the use of looking good if they are wrinkled when you wear them?”
Zhou Xiaofei said indifferently, but Gu Sisi remained silent.
She had seen those clothes, and the quality was quite good, after all, the price was there, but since Zhou Xiaofei had said so, she didn’t dare to retort.
The two plotted for a while longer, and then Gu Sisi returned to her room.
That night, Gu Sisi was so angry that she couldn’t sleep.
Lying in bed that night, Gu Yuanzhou was silent. He had something on his mind. In a while, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would have a meeting. A foreign guest would be coming from abroad, bringing his beautiful princess. Prince William usually markets an affectionate persona; the couple has been married for twenty years and are still very affectionate.
Their department attached great importance to this foreign guest and immediately decided to bring their wives to the event.
Simply put, it was to establish diplomatic relations and to build connections with Prince William’s wife.
Generally, the marital status of diplomats is quite stable, and they are very responsible to their other halves.
After all, in that position, one must set a good example in every aspect.
Gu Yuanzhou, as an attendant, would naturally also attend. Moreover, he speaks many languages, and his spoken English is the best. He would assist the Ambassador in achieving the purpose of the trip.
He didn’t dislike Shen Mingyue, but Shen Mingyue had a low educational level, let alone speaking foreign languages.
In their department, a pretty face was not enough. Without the support of strength, beauty is just an empty shell. If he brought Shen Mingyue there, she wouldn’t even be able to have basic communication. Not only would they be looked down upon, but Shen Mingyue herself would also feel uncomfortable.
So he was now quite conflicted about how to handle this matter.
Previously, Gu Yuanzhou was not talkative, but he would chat a little while when sleeping at night, which was considered a regular process for their fake couple.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s silence tonight, Shen Mingyue was curious. After making the bed, she couldn’t help but ask.
“What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?”
Gu Yuanzhou thought for a moment and decided not to hide it, otherwise, Shen Mingyue would be very sad if she found out later.
So he calmly explained the matter.
Shen Mingyue was not stupid, and she naturally understood. In any case, this man was quite honest. Most men would find it shameful. After all, attending such an important meeting, if he brought a shameful wife, not only would the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lose face, but he himself would be mocked.
Now that he could say it so frankly, Shen Mingyue respected him for being a man.
“When is it? How long?”
Gu Yuanzhou was stunned, “More than half a month.”
To be honest, although Shen Mingyue didn’t want to be in the spotlight, she wanted to help Gu Yuanzhou. After all, after coming to the city, Gu Yuanzhou had been helping her deal with all sorts of messy things.
She also spoke English fluently and had no problem communicating with people. And without boasting, her English level might be higher than Gu Yuanzhou’s.
But this is a persona; it can’t be revealed. Otherwise, how could a child who grew up in the countryside speak fluent English? Wouldn’t that be unbelievable?
Soon, Shen Mingyue came up with a solution.
“I have an idea. Isn’t there still half a month left? Actually, I have a strong learning ability. I’ve been reading English lately, learning with the radio, and I’ve learned some basics. After you get off work and come home every day, tutor me for two hours. By then, I will learn the basic phrases, accompany you to the event, and I guarantee I won’t embarrass you.”
Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t really considered this aspect, because half a month is too short a time to learn English.
But since Shen Mingyue said so, he couldn’t dampen her confidence.
If it were before, Shen Mingyue saying this, he wouldn’t have had any hope, but as Shen Mingyue had done things, Gu Yuanzhou began to have expectations of her.
A country girl, opening a clothing store for the first time, could earn three hundred yuan a day. Who dares say this woman is not clever? A stupid person really couldn’t earn this kind of money.
Perhaps she is also outstanding in other aspects.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t help but have expectations of her.
“Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you.”
Shen Mingyue was a pragmatist, and immediately got up to get the English textbook.
“Let’s do it right away. Let’s start tonight.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at Shen Mingyue. Her pretty face was full of seriousness. For some reason, he was slightly stunned.
His slender fingers pointed to the content on the book, his voice was pleasant and gentle, and Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but sigh.
It has to be said that this man is indeed skillful. At this time, most people’s Mandarin pronunciation is not very standard, let alone English.
But Gu Yuanzhou’s pronunciation was very strong and fluent.
