This suite is a one-bedroom structure, with a small, simple kitchen, exuding a strong home-like atmosphere.
As expected of Country F, from the macro to the details, everything exudes one motif—romance!
Gu Qili, like an excited butterfly, happily fluttered around the room for a few rounds before her stomach started to growl again, and she looked at him pitifully with one hand on her stomach.
Mu Shuoqian was on the phone, but when he saw her looking like she was about to starve to death, he quickly finished up and grabbed his wallet: "Let’s go."
Gu Qili cheerfully followed behind him, remembering to unplug the room card before leaving.
Arriving at the hotel’s restaurant, just so happened Li Ruhai and Jiang Wei were also there, having ordered their meals and were waiting, chatting casually among themselves.
Upon seeing Mu Shuoqian, they quickly stood up to greet him: "Young Master Qian."
They then looked at Gu Qili beside him, faces awkward, unsure how to address her as Mu Shuoqian had never introduced her.
Gu Qili was about to introduce herself, considering that they would see each other a lot over the next few days, and it would be odd to just nod heads upon meeting.
Just as she mentally prepared her introduction and was about to speak, Mu Shuoqian stepped in first with a tone flat and unexcited, introducing her like a completely ordinary staff member: "Gu Qili, trainee translator."
"Miss Gu, hello hello." Li Ruhai wanted to shake her hand, but the moment he raised his arm, he was stopped by Mu Shuoqian’s chilling gaze.
He had no choice but to cough twice: "Hello, I’m Li Ruhai, this is the Marketing Department Manager Sun Fan and the Research Department Manager Huang Honggui, and our French translator Jiang Wei."
Jiang Wei immediately greeted her politely: "Hello, Jiang Wei."
"Hello." Gu Qili replied with a smile, "Translator Jiang, I’ll be in your care these few days."
"No problem, just ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand." Jiang Wei looked very polite and gentle.
Gu Qili did indeed have questions, and just as she was about to ask, Mu Shuoqian pulled her away to a corner table, sitting far from Li Ruhai and his group.
When he introduced her earlier, Gu Qili actually harbored a small hope, but his business-like introduction of her as a trainee translator seemed fitting, just slightly disappointing. The source of this content ɪs novèlfire.net
In Country F, it’s natural to eat French cuisine, and Gu Qili ordered some of her favorites like foie gras, while Mu Shuoqian didn’t order food, only a bottle of red wine.
In Country F, one must also naturally drink red wine, as it’s the wine capital of the world.
The sommelier brought the red wine he ordered, checked it, then went to decant it, while Gu Qili idly flipped through the menu, occasionally taking in the surroundings. The small restaurant exuded romance everywhere, with carefully selected, elegant music perfectly complementing the dining atmosphere, bathing everything in mysterious and wonderful colors in this romantic country.
While waiting for the meal, Li Ruhai secretly glanced over, just in time to see Gu Qili consulting Mu Shuoqian with the menu in hand, the two very close, her head nearly resting under his eyes, while Mu Shuoqian appeared calm as though patiently answering her questions, showing no annoyance whatsoever.
Li Ruhai seemed to understand, whispering: "No wonder the president’s office recruited a translator from Australian University, that position was tailor-made for Miss Gu. It seems she’s indeed special to Young Master Qian, it’s my first time seeing a woman accompanying him."
The identity of Gu Qili, guessed by Li Ruhai as he saw her last time in Mu Shuoqian’s office carrying a backpack, indicating she was an undergraduate student.
Jiang Wei didn’t mind, not feeling threatened by Gu Qili taking his job, as he didn’t belong to the president’s office. He was like a brick in high-level departments, moved wherever needed. If Gu Qili also joined them in the future, it would make his work lighter.
"Miss Gu is truly fortunate, not yet graduated from university and Young Master Qian has already arranged such a good internship opportunity for her." Li Ruhai and the others sighed for a while before their dishes arrived.
After finishing their meal, Mu Shuoqian and Gu Qili headed to their room. Coincidentally, Li Ruhai also stayed on the same floor, and seeing them enter the same room, he wisely said goodnight and quickly swiped his card to enter his own.
