Chen Lishu, Jiang Yuwei and two other translators were assigned to the same box. A female teacher named Liu Yun immediately occupied one of the lower bunks as soon as she entered the room.
"I'm really sorry. I'm not used to climbing up and down. Xiao Chen, please go to my upper bunk. I think Xiao Jiang is about the same as me. How about giving her the other lower bunk?"
Liu Yun looked at everyone and arranged with a smile.
Although she felt disgusted, Chen Lishu didn't want to waste her time arguing with her over such a trivial matter.
Gu Lichun, who teaches German from the University of Technology, was the only man in the entire box. He was somewhat reserved. After hearing Liu Yun's words, he took his briefcase and went to the upper bunk opposite.
"Thank you, Sister Liu." Jiang Yuwei smiled and thanked Liu Yun, then went to sit down on the lower bunk opposite.
"Xiao Jiang, I think you seem to be familiar with Minister Li?"
Jiang Yuwei took out something from her bag and paused: "He was a colleague of my parents before, so the relationship between the two families is relatively good."
Although it is only a short sentence, it still contains a lot of information.
If he is a colleague of Li Tingliang, he must be serving in the municipal party committee or the provincial party committee. Moreover, Jiang Yuwei's dress and conversation are very good, and her family must be also ordinary.
Liu Yun couldn't help but want to make friends.
There were no entertainment facilities at this time. Chen Lishu put away her luggage and went to the upper bunk. She took out a book from her bag and started reading it carefully.
Starting from the province, there is no direct train to Yangcheng. Instead, you have to take a one-day and one-night train to another province and then transfer to another train.
After everyone put away their luggage, Chen Guoping's secretary came over and took a thick dozen of materials and put them on the table.
"This is the introduction of several companies participating in this exhibition and the details of their products. Director Chen said that when you are free, you can take a look in advance to understand the situation."
"I just wanted to ask about the situation. Director Chen was so considerate." Liu Yun said as he picked up the information on the table and took the initiative to send a copy to everyone.
"Everyone, please hurry up and try to read all these materials before dinner today. After sharing your experiences, we can write a report and summary to Director Chen together."
Chen Lishu raised her head and saw the impatience flash across Gu Lichun's face opposite her.
"Xiao Jiang, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Although we learn different languages, I still understand a little bit since the factory school ran the school a few years ago."
Jiang Yuwei listened to Liu Yun's words and nodded towards her.
Chen Lishu had information from an electric meter factory. The focus of their exhibition this time was a newly developed SLR camera.
Previous cameras had 120 lenses, and one roll of film could only take 12 photos, but this time the camera uses 135 film, and one roll of film can take 36 photos.
Chen Lishu was very moved after reading the detailed data.
Now there is more Rui Rui in the family. Children grow up very fast and almost look the same every year. If there is a camera at home, it can also save more memories.
After all, there were information from six factories. When encountering unfamiliar words, they had to look through the dictionary to write down their handwriting. It was not until dinner time that everyone had only read the information from three or four factories.
The space in the carriage restaurant is limited, so everyone takes turns to eat in batches.
When Chen Lishu and Jiang Yuwei went out, Chen Guoping took his secretary to the restaurant.
"Hello, Director." Because outside, Chen Lishu, like everyone else, also called him Director Chen.
Chen Guoping smiled and nodded: "How are you preparing? If you need anything, be sure to mention it. Don't be embarrassed. You are the top priority for this exhibition."
"We have carefully read some of the information that Secretary Zhang brought over. Even if we stay up late, we will read all the information. Director, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to help everyone complete this trade fair smoothly."
Before Chen Lishu could speak, Liu Yun answered from the side.
Chen Guoping waved his hand: "Don't worry, just get familiar with it first. After all, there are still a few days on the road."
"The time on the road is limited, so we must race against time and read all the information in a quality and quantitative manner. We will definitely live up to your expectations of us, Director."
Chen Guoping: "Just don't be tired."
The food on the train was a bit hard to describe. Chen Lishu didn't have much appetite, so she simply ate a steamed bun and that was it.
Not long after returning to the box, Zou Liang came over with a brown paper bag in his hand.
"I see you didn't eat anything at night. Here are the noodles and fruit I brought from home. Share some with you."
Chen Lishu smiled and waved her hand: "I'm not hungry. Thank you for your kindness. You should keep it for yourself."
"Why are you being polite to me? I've put the table on the table for you." Seeing that she didn't answer, Zou Liang put the things on the table and turned around to leave.
At night, Chen Lishu lay on the bed and covered herself with a quilt and was getting ready to sleep. Liu Yun got up and patted her bed.
"Xiao Chen, you haven't read the information yet, have you?"
Chen Lishu raised her head: "I haven't finished watching it, but it's too late, so I'm going to sleep first and watch it tomorrow when I have time."
"How can that be done? This is not your attitude towards work. Besides, I have promised Director Chen that I will read through the information today. After reading it, everyone will have to make a summary. You can't be so young and not seek improvement, can you? You're grown up.
You should work harder to look good, otherwise others will think you got in based on your connections."
As Liu Yun spoke, his reproachful tone became more and more serious.
"Besides, you can't affect everyone's progress just because of you, right?"
Chen Lishu finally sat up from the bed, looked at her condescendingly, and said: "I don't know what the progress Teacher Liu is talking about? If it is the so-called must read it tonight and sort out the summary, this is just your opinion.
Right? I never said that."
Liu Yun didn't expect that she would talk back, and he suddenly became angry.
"So what if it's me? I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. If the organization can give everyone this opportunity, we should cherish it more. In your current state, are you dissatisfied with the organization?"
Oops, what a big hat to put down.
"Forget it, Sister Liu. She always goes her own way in school, and I'm afraid she's already used to it." Jiang Yuwei seemed to be trying to break up the fight, but in fact she was trying to get angry.
Sure enough, Liu Yun looked at Chen Lishu and said angrily: "You are not my student. If they have this attitude, I guarantee that they will not graduate."
"Forget it, otherwise Xiao Chen, just get over it." Gu Lichun persuaded from the side.
Although he was also dissatisfied with Liu Yun's dominance, first of all he was a man, and secondly they were both teachers and half colleagues. Even though he didn't want to, Gu Chunsheng still chose to read the information together.
"Mr. Liu, you may have some misunderstanding. I am honored and valued by the organization for choosing me and giving me this opportunity, but I think it is unnecessary and unwise to stay up late when I have time. If you want to insist, I will not object.
