salted fish marriage

The project is not located locally, but on an island in the south.

That week, Qin Ling took his team on a business trip to the island for on-the-spot investigation, and met with the resident representative of the French company by the way.

This time there were two translators, one was Mr. Shen, and the other was Tong Beibei.

Since Tong Beibei joined the project team as an employee this time, it is naturally not good to be under the halo of the proprietress all the time - she always sat with Mr. Shen on the plane, not with Qin Ling.

Sitting next to Qin Ling was Li Meng.

As soon as he got on the plane, Assistant Li saw his boss's eyes passing through the two rows in front, and seemed to fall on Mr. Shen who was talking with Tong Beibei.

Li Meng coughed silently in his heart.

After a while, after the plane stabilized at an altitude of [-] meters, Qin Ling got up and walked to the front row.

Tong Beibei was looking sideways at the cotton candy-like white clouds outside the window, when she turned her head, Mr. Shen was gone, and Qin Ling just sat down with the front of his suit folded.

Tong Beibei:?

Qin Ling said righteously: "Mr. Shen has something to talk to Li Zhu about."

Tong Beibei smiled, seeing through but not telling.

Qin Ling looked at Tong Beibei: "What were you chatting with Lao Shen just now?" The chat was so lively.

Tong Beibei: "He graduated from University D and also learned French. We are talking about some interesting things about learning French when we were students."

Qin Ling propped up Erlang's legs, leaned slightly towards Tong Beibei, and asked, "What's interesting, let me listen to it."

Tong Beibei: "Some memes can only be understood by French majors."

Qin Ling asked about loneliness.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't come here to inquire about these.

"Wife."

Qin Ling called out in a low voice, and reached out to shake the hand of the person next to him, but was pushed away by Tong Beibei. On a business trip, let's be serious, business hours are for the boss and employees.

Now on the way of business trip, of course it is also considered business time, how can the boss hold the hand of the employee?

Tong Beibei reminded Qin Ling: "It's agreed."

Now holding hands also makes me feel lonely.

Qin Ling reluctantly withdrew his hand, not knowing where to put his arm, and finally took out the publications on the plane and flipped through them casually.

Beside, Tong Beibei quietly looked at Qin Ling from the corner of his eye.

Although the situation was completely different many years ago and now, and he didn't know what Qin Ling would be like when he was young when he was on a business trip, Tong Beibei really wanted to recall the part-time job through this co-work.

——Just satisfy your own selfishness.

After getting off the plane, the French from Party A's company, which is based on the island, took the team to wait at the pick-up port in person.

As soon as the teams of the two sides meet and shake hands, the leader is in front, followed by the translators on both sides.

On Lushan's side, Mr. Shen was originally turning over. After getting in the car, because Qin Ling was sitting next to Tong Beibei, Tong Beibei was in charge of the translation.

It was nothing at first, the chat between the two sides was smooth, and Tong Beibei's translation was also smooth without any problems.

While chatting, Qin Ling suddenly noticed that the representative of the French company would look at Tong Beibei from the corner of his eye from time to time. Qin Ling felt strange and thought there was something wrong, so he turned to Tong Beibei and said, "Ask him Why do I keep looking at you?"

?

Tong Beibei asked in French.

The French representative was stunned for a moment, looked at Tong Beibei, and replied with a smile: "Because you are so good-looking."

This straightforward admiration paired with elegant French was uttered from a Frenchman known for his romanticism, and the meaning is self-evident.

Tong Beibei smiled back politely, looked at Qin Ling, and whispered in Chinese: "It's nothing."

Qin Ling also turned his head and said in a low voice, "I understand, he didn't mean 'nothing'."

Tong Beibei looked at Qin Ling silently.

Qin Ling said righteously: "You tell him that you are my wife, and let him keep his eyeballs away."

Tong Beibei: "..."

Mr. Shen almost burst out laughing in the back row.

And this sentence in Chinese, the French representative actually understood a little bit.

He looked at his translator, then at Qin Ling, and asked in poor Chinese: "Wife? What wife?"

Tong Beibei said politely in French: "It's nothing, let's continue talking about the topic just now."

Qin Ling spoke English directly, pointed to Tong Beibei, then pointed to himself, and said seriously: "wife, mywife."

The Frenchman was surprised: "Oh~sorry."

The scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

Li Meng and Mr. Shen, who were in the same chartered car, were almost suffocating from laughter, and the translator on the French side couldn't help laughing.

Tong Beibei quietly poked Qin Ling with his elbow, Qin Ling tilted his head, and said righteously, "He's staring at you, I can't help but express my opinion."

Tong Beibet wanted to raise his hand to his forehead.

He pouted his lips and said in a low voice, "Now you treat me as an ordinary colleague."

Qin Ling: "An ordinary colleague, you are also my wife."

Tong Beibei: "..."

After such an oolong, the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

Fortunately, Qin Ling and the French talked about the project again, and the situation did not really become awkward.

But when they arrived at the hotel, the Frenchman shook hands with Qin Ling and said goodbye temporarily, Qin Ling said in French: "Don't stare at my wife next time."

The French said in broken Chinese: "I'm sorry."

Tong Beibei: "..."

This is really far from the work he envisioned.

And with such a beginning, it was their turn to stay in the hotel and allocate rooms. With so many people in the team, they all agreed that Qin Ling and Tong Beibei would live in one room.

Qin Ling took the key card and signaled Tong Beibei to follow him as a matter of course.

Tong Beibei asked as she walked, "Are you agreed to be a colleague?"

Which co-worker will share a room with the boss?

Qin Ling replied: "Don't worry, no one dares to sleep with you except me."

Tong Beibei couldn't laugh or cry.

Entering the room, Qin Ling pressed Tong Beibei on the bed, kissed her hard, and said through grinding teeth, "I knew I wouldn't let you come."

Tong Beibei gave Qin Ling a hammer: "Isn't that normal just now?"

It looks good, so it's natural to see it.

People secretly watch, let him see, what to ask.

Some couples must get to the bottom of it, and they have to emphasize the word "mywife".

It's all right now, have a good meeting, and it's embarrassing or embarrassing as soon as it comes up.

Even Party A had to say "I'm sorry" in Chinese.

Qin Ling also noticed the problem, and said: "I should introduce you as soon as I come up, saying that this is my lover."

Tong Beibei also found out the problem when she heard it.

He paused and asked Qin Ling: "What should we do now?"

Qin Ling kissed Tong Beibei's lips, turned over and said, "Cold salad."

In the afternoon, when I went to the project site for field inspection, Tong Beibei honestly mixed with the crowd, and Mr. Shen followed Qin Ling as an interpreter.

However, the French representative already knew that Qin Ling had brought his wife, so he hadn't seen him this afternoon, so he naturally had to ask, and if someone asked, Qin Ling naturally had to answer.

So Tong Beibei, who was in the crowd, still walked up to them.

And as soon as he came in front of people, the French company treated him with respect and courtesy.

In addition, he knows that he can speak French, and sometimes the French representative will even look directly at Tong Beibei and say something.

So back and forth, the translator became Tong Beibei again.

But obviously, an ordinary translator would not be treated like Tong Beibei.

And this is completely different from Tong Beibei's initial idea of ​​"working together" - not only will the boss not discipline him, but not only will there be no setbacks and difficulties at work, Party A and the company will be extra polite to him.

Where is the work and co-working that he wants?

In the evening, Tong Beibei stood on the balcony, with her arms on the balcony railing, her face in her hands, looking into the distance while blowing the cool sea breeze, and sighing silently.

Qin Ling came from behind him: "What's wrong?"

Walking to the side, put his hands on Tong Beibei's waist, and asked with concern: "Too tired after a busy day?"

Tong Beibei looked up at Qin Ling and remained silent.

After a while, he turned sideways, faced Qin Ling, and said with emotion: "Today's class is far from what I expected."

In fact, Qin Ling never knew why Tong Beibei joined the project team as an interpreter.

This runs counter to the life attitude of my partner who has always been salted fish.

Qin Ling propped his arms on the balcony railing, turned his head and asked, "What do you imagine?"

Tong Beibei recalled the part-time job back then: "Probably when I performed well at work, and sometimes when I performed poorly, you would praise me when I was good, and you would train me and teach me when I was not good."

Qin Ling smiled.

Tong Beibei wondered: "What's wrong?"

Qin Ling put an arm on Tong Beibei's shoulder and said, "First of all, if you don't do well, I won't discipline you."

Qin Ling: "Secondly, I will appreciate and be very happy that you have done a good job. 'Praise' should not be applied to you."

This is all from leaders to subordinates, and bosses to ordinary employees, and "praise" is regarded as a kind of verbal reward.

Tong Beibei leaned back against the railing, blowing the sea breeze, and sighed, "I knew you didn't consider me a colleague."

Qin Ling put his arms around Tong Beibei's shoulders, and said in relief: "This is not a question of whether or not to treat you as a colleague, this is reality."

Qin Ling: "The reality is that you are my wife. At the company level, you will not be an ordinary employee. There is no way for everyone to treat you as an ordinary colleague, and it is impossible for me."

Qin Ling: "In terms of the project, the project itself is fine. When it comes to the stage where you need to meet people, in your original capacity, everyone will be very polite to you."

Qin Ling: "The 'ordinary' experience you want to go to work is really impossible for you now."

Tong Beibei understands everything.

He sighed: "Okay."

Since it can't be done, he can accept it calmly.

Qin Ling changed the subject: "But my wife, I don't quite understand why you want that kind of experience?"

"You want to join the team, I thought you were interested in translation at first."

It now appears that not at all.

Tong Beibei looked back at Qin Ling, looking into Qin Ling's eyes, he couldn't explain it in detail for a while, but he already understood his mentality.

Tong Beibei explained: "I actually just want to see what it would be like if I worked with you as an ordinary colleague."

Just like when I was working part-time.

But it is not the same as part-time job.

In other words, it is a step further than part-time jobs...

practice?

The cool wind blows, and the sound of the waves is far away.

Tong Beibei simply stood on the balcony and "imagined" this hypothesis with Qin Ling.

Tong Beibei: "If I am in my early 20s this year, I interviewed and entered Lushan's translation department as a French interpreter for an internship?"

Qin Ling followed these words and thought for a while: "The translation department does not recruit interns now. If you can come in, you will be a regular employee."

Tong Beibei nodded: "That's good. That is, I graduated from university, entered Lushan, and was in charge of French translation in the translation department."

After thinking about it, "Just treat it as if I'm in the probationary period."

Qin Ling accompanied Tong Beibei to continue "writing" this hypothesis.

He said: "The probationary period in the translation department is relatively long. I remember it was half a year or six months."

Tong Beibei: "Then I am now a new employee who has just completed the two-month probationary period."

Qin Ling: "After two months of probation, you should have mastered all the architectural related terms. If Lao Shen wants to cultivate you, he will bring you along for a project like this, in addition to another official French translation."

After thinking for a while: "Well, you are almost a translation assistant now."

Tong Beibei followed and said, "The translation assistant won't translate directly by your side, right?"

Qin Ling: "Record, summarize and refine the content of the conversation, and translate some not-so-complicated texts."

Tong Beibei: "With my ability when I graduated from university, these are not difficult for me."

Qin Ling nodded: "So on Mr. Shen's side, you will become an interpreter who will work with most executives in the future."

Qin Ling looked at Tong Beibei: "Then, during this business trip, President Shen will introduce you to me."

Qin Ling: "On my side, I'll go through your resume and get a general understanding of you from Mr. Shen."

"Since you are too outstanding, I will remember you right away, and I will be deeply impressed by you."

Tong Beibei smiled.

Qin Ling: "What about you? What impression do you have of me?"

Tong Beibei thought for a while: "It depends on the stage."

"If you are just getting to know each other, you are the boss, and we haven't worked together much, I think you are just the impression that ordinary colleagues have of leaders."

"If you've already trained me..."

Qin Ling: "Okay, let's say I'm going to punish you now because you didn't turn over a file properly."

Tong Beibei: "After being scolded, go and change the translation honestly."

Qin Ling: "Will you have any objections to me?"

Tong Beibei shook her head: "At this stage, I don't care about it. I only notice that my translation skills are poor, so I should quickly revise the manuscript and improve it."

He said and looked at Qin Ling: "Then—"

Qin Ling: "Then, my impression of you as an ordinary employee will become that this person's professional level needs to be improved."

Tong Beibei: "Worse?"

Qin Ling shook his head: "No. Everyone comes step by step, and no one can produce a perfect work result right away. It's normal for you to be improved after you just graduated from university."

Tong Beibei continued: "Then, I started a cycle of poor translation, being scolded, being scolded, continuing to translate, and being scolded after translating."

Just like the part-time job back then.

Qin Ling nodded: "Almost."

Then, on a certain day, this ordinary employee of the translation department named Tong Beibei successfully passed the not-so-easy probationary period.

On the day when he officially became a full-time employee, early in the morning, he would receive a bouquet of flowers from the president's office that every colleague had when he became a full-time employee.

Tong Beibei: "At that time, I should be very happy. I will cheer silently from the bottom of my heart, continue to work hard, and continue to persevere."

Qin Ling continued to hypothesize: "Then one day, because he thought you could be independent and wanted to train you, Mr. Shen put you in a project team led by me and asked you to lead the translation, and you met me again. "

Tong Beibei continued this "story", thought for a while, and said, "Then, go on a business trip together?"

Qin Ling nodded.

Tong Beibei was thinking about it, Qin Ling said: "When we were on a business trip together, as soon as we got off the plane, we met a Frenchman who was always staring at you."

Tong Beibei nodded: "I will not show my face and do the translation work well. As long as the Frenchman has no further indications, I will pretend that nothing happened."

Qin Ling: "But I can see it in my eyes, and I will know it in my heart."

Qin Ling: "I will inform other colleagues later, and try not to leave you alone."

Tong Beibei smiled and asked, "Is there a turning point here?"

Qin Ling followed suit and said, "However, a young and handsome translator who has just become a full-time official is still on the order."

Tong Beibei: "The French..."

Qin Ling interrupted: "I've placed an order, let's be alone with the boss."

Tong Beibei raised her eyebrows.

Qin Ling said honestly: "The boss invited the young colleagues from the translation department who have placed orders to have dinner together."

Tong Beibei said slowly: "The young colleague refused."

Qin Ling: "Why?"

Tong Beibei: "Because... I was trained a lot during the probationary period before, and I was a little afraid of the boss. Plus, I never got along alone in private."

Just like the part-time job mentality back then.

Qin Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the boss so scary?"

Tong Beibei took it for granted and was very sure: "Yes!"

Ok.

Qin Ling continued the plot: "Through this business trip, the strength of a certain young colleague in the translation department has been affirmed. The boss's impression of his work has also begun to change."

then……

Tong Beibei thought about what else to do next.

Qin Ling suddenly said: "Then, one day, the big boss found out that he and the little translator lived in the same community."

Tong Beibei interrupted: "Didn't you never live in Jinheng Mansion?"

Qin Ling pursed his lips: "You have come to Lushan to work, why can't I live in Jinheng Mansion."

Ok.

The idea continues——

Qin Ling followed suit and said, "Then, the big boss noticed this little translator."

Tong Beibei:?

Notice?

Notice what?

Qin Ling held Tong Beibei's hand in the palm of his hand, and looked at Tong Beibei: "I noticed that he drives a blue Fit car, and he will be with a well-maintained middle-aged woman who looks a bit like him. In and out together."

Tong Beibei's pupils shrank, astonished.

Qin Ling stared deeply at Tong Beibei: "You will find that when this little boy is not wearing formal clothes, he likes to wear a sweater with a hood in private."

"Especially the white sweater, which looks extraordinarily young and handsome."

"I found that he has a very good relationship with his mother, and the relationship between the mother and son and the neighbors is also very harmonious."

"Standing on the balcony, you will see the mother and son walking downstairs talking and laughing after buying fresh bouquets on the weekend."

"Little boys are not as 'cold' in private as they are at work, and they seem to talk very little. When going in and out with friends, they are always talking and laughing."

Tong Beibei was moved by the beauty that Qin Ling fabricated for him.

Qin Ling tilted his head, and kissed Tong Beibei affectionately: "And I, no matter at any time," even in a fictional plot, "it's the same, sooner or later I will be attracted to you."

Tong Beibei's pupils shone with light.

Qin Ling: "I will pay attention to you unconsciously when I go to work, and create opportunities to meet you when I get home from get off work."

Qin Ling: "I will be attracted by you, I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to listen to you."

Qin Ling: "I will use my work to get closer to you."

Qin Ling: "When I see you make mistakes, I don't have the heart to train you again. I will be more patient than before and guide you as much as possible in my work."

Qin Ling: "When the time is right..."

Qin Ling and Tong Beibei pressed their foreheads together, and their voices were tender.

"I will find an opportunity to confess my love to you."

There are vivid pictures in Tong Beibei's mind. These pictures are like an extension of the part-time job period back then. Even if they are fake, they seem to exist in another parallel time and space.

Tong Beibei understood that this was Qin Ling's confession to him.

He was touched and moved, his eyes were shining when he looked back at Qin Ling, his arms unconsciously wrapped around Qin Ling's waist, and he buried his head in Qin Ling's embrace.

"Will you see me then?" Tong Beibei asked.

Qin Ling circled him, stroking the soft hair of the man in his arms.

"of course."

"I like you, I love you."

"No matter what the circumstances, of course I will be attracted to you again."

And in those fictitious assumptions, Qin Ling sincerely hopes that Tong Mengxi is still there, that his Beibei can have a stable job that he likes without losing his mother.

Tong Beibei's voice choked up twice, Qin Ling embraced him and patted his shoulder lightly.

After a while, Tong Beibei buried her head in Qin Ling's arms and said in a muffled voice, "But the office romance is not very good."

Qin Ling kissed Tong Beibei's hair and said, "To tell you the truth, I didn't expect that step."

Ok?

Qin Ling: "At that time, you must have many suitors, not just me."

Qin Ling sighed in his chest: "We have to compete."

Tong Beibei looked up funny.

It's just a fictional assumption, he sighed so sincerely, isn't the sense of substitution too strong?

Qin Ling stared at Tong Beibei, holding his cheek, his tone was as deep as his eyes.

"So in reality, you can only choose me."

"Like me, come to love me."

Qin Ling kissed Tong Beibei: "I like you, I love you."

"Puff-"

Tong Beibei's heart skipped a beat, followed by a strange numbness.
