Chapter 306: She Certainly Has an Eye for Talent
Chapter 306: She Certainly Has an Eye for Talent
Jiang Xia turned around.
The one calling her was Yang Qiongying.
Jiang Xia remained silent, waiting for her to speak.
Yang Qiongying had realized that Jiang Xia wanted to bring breakfast to Zhang Fuyan, so she called out to stop her, preventing her from interrupting her son's time with Zhang Fuyan.
Zhang Fuyan was the ideal daughter-in-law in Yang Qiongying's eyes. She came from a good family, excelled in her studies, was a top student at Jing University, and was also very beautiful. The children she would have in the future would undoubtedly be good-looking. Moreover, she had a pleasant temperament and had already secured an internship at the External Translation Department before even graduating, ensuring a promising future career.
She was the perfect choice for a daughter-in-law.
Yang Qiongying would not allow anyone to ruin this opportunity.
The previous night, Yang Qiongying had learned the whole story from Ye Xian. Zhang Fuyan and Jiang Dong were initially strangers, and it was Jiang Xia who had intentionally brought them together, even going as far as to orchestrate the breakup between Jiang Dong and Ye Xian.
One could say that Jiang Xia had been meticulously plotting and overcoming all obstacles to make Zhang Fuyan her sister-in-law!
Yang Qiongying gave Jiang Xia a once-over, unable to discern her hidden scheming. However, she had been outmaneuvered by Jiang Xia the previous day, so she needed to be cautious. Smiling, she said, "I saw your foreign language skills were quite good yesterday, but unfortunately, one of my staff members here isn't feeling well this morning. Could you possibly help out at the Negotiation Center as a translator?"
If it were any other time, Jiang Xia might have agreed, as the Negotiation Center provided opportunities to meet various clients. However, Jiang Xia had already made plans to meet with foreign friends at the South Gate, so she declined, "I'm sorry, I've made plans to meet foreign friends at this gate. I can only help out here for a while, or else they won't be able to find me when they arrive."
After saying this, Jiang Xia didn't pay any more attention to Yang Qiongying and headed towards Zhang Fuyan.
Yang Qiongying saw that her son had already ridden off on his bicycle, and Zhang Fuyan had received the breakfast her son brought. She no longer paid attention to Jiang Xia.
She was simply worried that Jiang Xia might disturb her son's plan to bring food for Zhang Fuyan and disrupt their chance to develop their relationship.
She now hoped that the two would cultivate some feelings during the Canton Fair and that after the fair, she could ask Zhang Fuyan's aunt to help talk to her parents and see if they could finalize the marriage arrangement.
Initially, she had planned to bring up the topic after both of them graduated from university, but she never expected an unexpected obstacle to appear. If not for this Canton Fair, she wouldn't have known about it.
Fortunately, she had discovered it early!
Jiang Xia arrived beside Zhang Fuyan and looked at the thermos in her hand, "Have you eaten breakfast? If not, I can stand here for a while so you can go and eat."
Jiang Xia didn't give her the lunch box she was holding; she already had her own.
Zhang Fuyan replied, "I've already eaten, but it's hard to refuse such kindness."
Jiang Xia smiled but didn't inquire further.
The meaning was clear, whether it was delivering soup or bringing breakfast. There was no need to investigate.
It was only natural for a girl as wonderful as Zhang Fuyan to have admirers and suitors.
Zhang Fuyan glanced at the lunch box in Jiang Xia's hand, "You haven't eaten yet? I have some congee here, do you want some? Lu Kunjie's grandmother made it."
"I ate at the hotel, but I brought this in case you hadn't eaten. You can eat it later if you get hungry."
Zhang Fuyan sniffed, "What did you bring?"
"Char Siu buns and beef congee."
Zhang Fuyan was taken aback. She had wanted to eat Char Siu buns yesterday, but they were sold out. At that time, both Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei were not around, so she only mentioned it to Jiang Dong.
Jiang Dong said he would buy some for her the next day.
Then she told him she had a meeting the next day.
Jiang Dong offered to get it for her.
So, these Char Siu buns were prepared by Jiang Dong?
Zhang Fuyan asked, "I wanted to eat them yesterday, but they were sold out. I'll try them; I've heard the hotel's Char Siu buns are delicious."
Jiang Xia didn't know she had wanted them yesterday, "Jiang Dong ordered them."
Zhang Fuyan took the lunch box and gave the sleeve badge to Jiang Xia, "You can stand here for a while. I'll take these to the back for everyone to share. Some classmates woke up late and haven't had breakfast yet."
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
Zhang Fuyan left with breakfast in both hands.
It was a few minutes before the 8 am start time, and she was walking a bit fast.
After arranging her work, Yang Qiongying returned to the back office and saw everyone eating her family's congee, while Zhang Fuyan was eating steamed buns.
Zhang Fuyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yang, for the congee. Since they didn't have breakfast, I shared it with everyone."
The others all praised the delicious congee upon hearing this.
Yang Qiongying looked at the lunch box in front of Zhang Fuyan and the steamed bun in her hand.
It wasn't from her family at all! She forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's delicious. Hurry up and eat, it's almost 8 o'clock."
Zhang Fuyan stuffed the remaining bun into her mouth and packed up her lunch box. "Thank you, Aunt Yang, for the congee. It's really too much trouble for you. There's no need to send it in the future. Look, I have someone to help me prepare breakfast every day."
Zhang Fuyan was a smart and perceptive person.
After chatting with Lu Kunjie last night, she had sensed something.
Today, she took the opportunity to use Jiang Xia's breakfast to subtly convey her intentions.
She didn't have romantic feelings for Lu Kunjie, so she couldn't accept their kindness anymore.
Although they had known each other since childhood, they hadn't seen each other in many years, and she only considered Lu Kunjie as an older brother from a neighboring family and a childhood playmate.
Yang Qiongying understood Zhang Fuyan's intentions and smiled. "Alright, it's good that you have someone to take care of you. Your aunt also asked me to look after you!"
"It's really not necessary. I'm an adult and can take care of myself. I don't want to be treated specially. I'll be going now!"
"Okay."
Zhang Fuyan left and continued with her work.
It wasn't until this morning that Zhang Fuyan heard everyone discussing the incident with the water kettle from yesterday afternoon.
She felt that Director Yang wasn't genuinely unaware of the situation and almost misunderstood Jiang Xia; it was probably intentional.
After all, she had just seen Director Yang calling out to Jiang Xia from a distance, telling her not to come find her.
People have their own circles of closeness, and now that she was closer to Jiang Xia and the others, she didn't want to be close to them anymore.
Not long after Zhang Fuyan returned to Jiang Xia's side, Jill and her group arrived.
Jiang Xia led them to the booth where the Aquatic Products Company was located.
Coincidentally, Director Yang was also at the booth that day.
He had just returned from his trip the previous night and, after resting for two days, decided to come and check on the situation at the Guangzhou Trade Fair and help out.
Jiang Xia greeted him with a smile, "Director Yang."
Director Yang turned around and smiled, "Jiang Xia, do you have some good products again?"
Jiang Xia smiled and replied, "No new products, but I have two foreign friends who want to place an order for our Huaguo's aquatic products. I'm showing them around."
Director Yang waved at the translator, and Jiang Xia introduced them to each other.
Director Yang was amazed at Jiang Xia's fluency in foreign languages.
The Aquatic Products Company had a translator, and Jill's group knew that Jiang Xia had her own work to attend to, so they let her go.
After introducing them, Jiang Xia left and passed by a booth selling pearls.
Early in the morning, several foreign merchants were already there, and the staff was introducing the pearls diligently while the translator provided detailed explanations.
These were all cultured pearls, and Jiang Xia was interested in learning more, so she stopped to listen.
One foreign merchant was signing a contract with the staff, and he was in a hurry, urging the staff to speed up. However, he kept picking up pearl after pearl and asking questions in Chinese, chatting with the staff, and asking about various things. After the staff explained a few sentences, he urged her to quickly finish writing the contract.
Finally, the staff completed the contract, and the foreign merchant signed it, then urged the staff to stamp and sign it immediately.
The pearl farm employee was about to stamp it.
Jiang Xia took a glance and quickly said to the staff, "Wait a moment?"
