Chapter 672: 184: Shangguan Furong Apologizes At The Doorway_4
Hearing this, Ni Chengui exclaimed in surprise, “Really? Our ‘冰肌玉肤’ can go international now?”
“Mhm,” Ni Yang nodded.
“That’s fantastic!” Ni Chengui said with a deeply moved smile on his face, turning to look at Annie and Emily, “Hello, I’m Ni Chengui.”
Ni Chengui didn’t speak English, leaving Emily and Annie looking at each other perplexed, unable to understand what Ni Chengui meant.
Ni Yang smiled and translated for them.
When Ni Chengui saw Ni Cuihua could communicate normally with them, his face was full of disbelief.
“Yangyang’s mom, you’re really amazing!” Although he had known for some time that Ni Cuihua was learning English, Ni Chengui didn’t realize that her English skills had gotten so good!
Ni Cuihua smiled and said, “When I have nothing else to do at home, I practice on my own. After spending so much time, I’d be embarrassed if I still couldn’t do it.”
After all, she had also spent several months on it!
“It looks like I really need to study hard, or else I’ll be the one falling behind! But Yangyang’s mom, you’re really smart!” A year ago, Ni Cuihua was just an illiterate rural woman.
Now, not only had her appearance and temperament changed, but her knowledge had also improved along with them.
Moreover, Ni Cuihua was someone who loved to learn and had the perseverance to keep at it. Whenever she had free time, she would find a book to read, no matter what kind of book, she could get into it.
Ni Chengui truly admired her!
Ni Cuihua smiled and said, “Sister Chenggui, you sure know how to make me happy. You just haven’t started learning; if you did, I’m sure you’d be smarter than me! Come on, let’s eat. The dishes will get cold.”
“I’ll go wash my hands.” Ni Chengui put his bag on the sofa and went to the washroom to wash his hands.
Because they were aware that Emily and Annie wouldn’t know how to use chopsticks, Ni Yang had specifically prepared knives and forks for them.
Emily didn’t have much expectation for Chinese food at first.
She had eaten at Chinese restaurants in M Country before.
The taste was quite ordinary, not at all better than Western food.
But it was only when she tasted Ni Yang’s cooking that she discovered what real Chinese food was like!
The flavor was stunning!
“Delicious! It’s really amazing!” Emily could hardly stop herself from swallowing her tongue along with the food.
Seeing Emily’s reaction, Annie also lowered her head to taste a bite of the shrimp and vermicelli soup.
The soup was rich in flavor, the shrimp was springy, and the vermicelli was full of the savory broth. Biting into it brought a deeply satisfying combination of flavors, much more delightful than plain bread and sandwiches.
The Chinese were too lucky!
To be able to eat such delicious food!
“Very tasty!” Annie gave Ni Yang a thumbs-up.
Ni Yang smiled and said, “If you like it, eat more.”
The next day, Ni Yang took Emily to climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City. They took many photos and didn’t return home until after 6 in the evening.
Back home, Ni Cuihua had already prepared dinner.
After eating, Annie handed over the newly drafted contract to Ni Yang, “Ni Yang, if everything looks fine, we can sign the contract.”
Besides drafting the contract, Annie had also completed many procedures that day.
The Qing Dynasty had suffered from its closed-door policy, but modern China was very welcoming to foreigners. Moreover, at this time, export trade wasn’t very extensive, so Annie got all the procedures almost completed.
Ni Yang looked over the contract and, finding no issues, signed her name on it.
Annie took out five thick bundles of USD from her bag, “Ni Yang, this is the first deposit. Once we get back to M Country, we’ll transfer the second payment, and afterward, we’ll proceed with a cash-on-delivery payment model.”
Annie had requested a large quantity this time.
There was a total of more than fifty thousand dollars.
Converted to RMB, it was more than four hundred thousand.
Ni Yang nodded, “That’s fine.”
The following day, Annie and Emily left Ni Yang’s home. After completing all the paperwork, they took a flight back to M Country that very night.
Annie only checked in a little more than fifty boxes of the ‘冰肌玉肤’ products to take with her; the rest were to be shipped by sea.
The goods were expected to arrive in about half a month.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Lin Fang had been visiting the Shangguan Family more frequently these days, but coincidentally, every time she came, Shangguan Furong was not at home.
On several occasions, it was Zhao Shen who hosted Lin Fang.
Today was no exception.
“Comrade Xiaolin, please have some tea.” Zhao Shen served Lin Fang a cup of tea.
