"Yeah, so what do you think I do for a living?" The girl looked at Xiaofan with pure curiosity, not imdiately realizing Xiaofan's earlier misunderstanding.
"Um, hahahahaha..." Xiaofan admitted he was being a bit naughty. But there was nothing he could do, since he really didn't have much affection for this country. Based on his preconceived notions from Japanese videos he had downloaded during school, Xiaofan had ford certain biases. The misunderstanding was indeed Xiaofan overthinking.
Yes, it's my fault, it really is my fault.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Qiong looked at Xiaofan strangely.
"Ah? I just happen to need a translator because I really don't understand Japanese. How about this, it's uncomfortable to talk while standing, let's find a place, I'll buy you a drink and we can discuss it in detail. How about it?"
"Really? That sounds great..."
Regardless of the misunderstanding the other person might have had earlier, successfully finding a job was indeed a very happy thing.
Afterward, the two took a taxi to a restaurant. Before arriving at this place, Xiaofan first went to a bank to withdraw money. Of course, he still needed Liu Qiong's guidance to help him out.
In this country, you have to use the local currency, which Xiaofan had asked the Ren Family to prepare for him before he left.
"Wow, you perv, you actually... actually... thought like that."
While eating, Xiaofan cheerfully explained the misunderstanding from earlier. There was no reason to hide it; he was wrong initially, and apologizing was not hard.
"Yeah, I'm at fault, so order whatever you want, this al is my apology for my earlier rudeness..."
"Hehe, then I won't hold back."
The girl's laughter was as bright as when they first t, clearly not dwelling on Xiaofan's earlier misunderstanding. At least, today's dinner had one less expense.
"Could you introduce yourself first? Like, what are you studying here?" Xiaofan asked casually.
"I'm studying dicine here. Originally, I was attending dical University in Huaxia, but they had two spots for sponsored study abroad at DJ dical University here in Japan. I was lucky to get one."
"Oh, a brilliant student. Impressive, impressive..." Xiaofan complinted lightly.
"You're too kind..." Liu Qiong replied, taking big bites of the al but noticed that Xiaofan wasn't eating much, and asked curiously, "Why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not used to the taste here. No worries, as long as you're full. I just got off the plane, not much appetite," Xiaofan said honestly.
Through the conversation, Xiaofan learned that Liu Qiong's family wasn't well-off. Although she was sponsored for the study abroad, she still had to pay tuition fees, with the school covering half and her family figuring out the rest. The financial pressure was huge, so Liu Qiong had taken various odd jobs over the past two years. Even this restaurant they were eating at now, she had worked as a waitress. Later, she found an even better job, so she gave up the part-ti work here.
Then she heard that translating for tourists or business travelers at the international airport could earn a good sum, so during free tis, she would hang around the airport entrance. Xiaofan was her first client.
"How would I know, dressed so sexy and coming over to ask ..." Xiaofan smiled, giving another glance at Liu Qiong's cleavage.
"Got to hustle for a living. Dressing a bit sexy makes it easier to find work." Liu Qiong didn't mind.
"Aren't you afraid of running into so bad folks?"
"Not really, no bad guy would specifically take a plane across countries to commit a cri, right? Besides, their IDs and border crossing records are all noted. If anything happened to , even if they fled back, they wouldn't escape," Liu Qiong logically analyzed.
Her reasoning made so sense indeed.
"Ring ring ring..." As they chatted, Xiaofan's phone rang.
"Hello..."
"$#&^**$H#&@..."
"Find soone who speaks Chinese..."
"...￥...%￥%*￥......&"
"Honestly..." Xiaofan said as he hung up the phone again.
'Ring ring ring...'
Just after hanging up, the phone started ringing again.
"Hello... damn"
Answering, hanging up, answering again, and hanging up... after over twenty rounds back and forth, Xiaofan simply stopped answering and directly rejected the calls.
The constant ringing indicated that the advertisent had aired in Japan and people were calling to inquire about him. However, the calls were from TV stations or the Japanese general public, not the people Xiaofan was waiting for.
But letting the phone ring non-stop wasn't a solution, so Xiaofan sent a ssage to Li Kuo, asking him to intercept all the calls. When soone truly important wanted to reach him, Li Kuo could then notify him.
Five minutes after sending the ssage, his phone finally quieted down, allowing Xiaofan to breathe a sigh of relief.
"You seem quite busy. Oh right, you haven't introduced yourself yet. What's your na, and what brings you to DJ?" Liu Qiong then realized she knew nothing about her new boss in front of her.
"Oh, my na is Li Fei. Here's the plane ticket and ID. I ca to DJ for vacation. Rest assured, I'm not a bad person." To reassure her, Xiaofan showed his new ID and plane ticket.
"Vacation? So you're a rich second-generation kid, huh?" Liu Qiong smiled and asked.
"What rich second-generation? I'm just a worker. Used to work in a factory, but my boss always looked down on my low education and wouldn't give a raise. Out of frustration, I trashed his office, and then he fired . Of course, he did give an extra two months' salary. I'm just using that money to travel and relax. So, you see, I'm a good person..."
"Yeah, a good person who keeps staring at ..."
"Cough, cough..."
Actually, Liu Qiong knew Xiaofan was lying. How could a laid-off worker have a gold card from a Japanese bank? He was intentionally hiding his identity.
But IDs don't lie. Maybe his identity is sensitive or sothing else. As long as he doesn't an harm and is willing to pay her, Liu Qiong won't delve too deeply.
"So, as I've ntioned about the daily rate, do you have any objections?" Having eaten enough, it was ti to discuss business.
"No problem with that..."
"Then you'll need to lay out the itinerary so I know. If I have classes, I won't be able to work for you..."
"Ring, ring, ring, ring..."
At that mont, Xiaofan's phone rang again. This call made Xiaofan's expression turn cold. Since the call ca through, it ant Li Kuo had allowed the caller through.
"Hello, who is this..."
"Hello, is this Black Mantis? It's Uncle Zhong..."
