Chapter 272 The person we choose can enjoy life by lying down(1/2)
live
After nearly a dozen hours of flight, the Jonina family finally arrived over Hong Kong Island.
Through the plane's porthole and looking at the night view of Hong Kong Island under the plane, she finally understood why Hong Kong Island is called the "Pearl of the East".
The colorful lights gather together into pieces, and they are really as brilliant as pearls dotted on a black velvet carpet.
In the 1980s, if only night viewing was discussed, Hong Kong Island could be ranked among the top three on this planet.
"Mom, this city is so beautiful. That bay seems to be more beautiful than London. Can we go and have fun tomorrow?"
Jonina's son Dean lay on the porthole and looked at the night view of Victoria Harbor greedily, and couldn't help but make her own small request.
But his sister Louisa said sternly: "Dean, sit in your seat right now, and don't make excessive demands. Mom is here to work, not to take you on a trip."
Dean, who has always been suppressed by his sister's blood, suddenly said: "We can ask Miss Lu to take us to play!
You tell me stories about adventures all day, but I only remember the two houses in my home, and I have never even been to the beach."
""
The stern sister can no longer suppress her younger brother.
After Jonina moved to Manchester with her siblings, she stayed at home for 365 days, and the range of activities of the siblings was limited to a 100-meter radius around the rental house.
My younger brother just started to remember this year. His understanding of this world is only a radius of 100 meters.
So when my sister Louisa tells Dean various adventure stories, even if Dean is hungry, she will obey and imagine that she may one day take risks like the protagonist of the story.
And why is Louisa, who tells the story, not?
Jonina was so ashamed that she was beyond shame.
The child's childhood should be happy and naughty, but her child is quiet and well-behaved.
But Jonina is just a social fear and is not a fool. As a delicate writer, how could she not know that under this quietness and obedience, she is suppressed timidity and deep desire?
"If my mother has time to finish her job, she can bring her some fun."
"Really? That's great mom, thank you mom."
Dean almost jumped up excitedly, but thinking of his sister's restraint, he quickly sat down in the seat, with only a pair of blue eyes, full of excitement and agility.
But when he looked at his sister carefully, he found that his sister seemed to be as excited as he was.
Jonina looked at the child apologetically, then looked at Lu Jingyao who was sitting across the seat.
"Lu, can you please accompany us to see the sea? I can pay a part of the extra reward."
"Ms. Jonina, you've paid it."
""
"Thank you, Lu."
Jonina now feels that her decision in the restaurant the day before yesterday was extremely wise.
It can be said that Lu Jingyao is completely a "savior" tailored for Jonina.
At that time, Jonina wanted to find someone who knew how to grow flowers to accompany her to Hong Kong Island, and then asked Lu Jingyao if there was a suitable candidate.
Then she was surprised to find that Lu Jingyao turned out to be a loyal reader of her Jonina Walls.
Jonina didn't believe it at that time, but Lu Jingyao took out a trial version of "Song of Ice and Fire" she carried with her, and the translator was Jonina.
The next thing went much smoother. Lu Jingyao agreed to Jonina's request without hesitation and accepted a "super low price" of 150 pounds.
Although the average monthly income of Britain in the early 1980s was only two or three hundred pounds, a weekly salary of 150 pounds was really low for a translator who accompanied him thousands of miles away.
But Lu Jingyao seemed to care about money at all, so she enthusiastically discussed the plot of "Song of Ice and Fire" with Jonina.
Then the two realized that they had countless common languages.
In short, both of them think they are very much like Lis Targaryen in "Song of Ice and Fire", both of whom are arranged by fate, and they cannot control their own destiny and can only struggle silently and humbly.
Fortunately, both of them had achieved success in their struggles and saw the dawn.
Jonina is likely to receive a huge sum of 20,000 US dollars, and Lu Jingyao also came to study in Britain from the far east.
The literary resonance brought Jonina and Lu Jingyao closer, and in the next two days, Jonina didn't worry about anything.
All the things were covered by Lu Jingyao, a flower-growing girl.
She took Jonina's family to the discount market and used the incredible price to prepare brand new clothes, fully allowing Jonina to understand what it means to spend "one penny and two halves" and "good steel is used on the blade".
And in terms of life skills such as itinerary arrangement, procedures, etc., this girl, who is far younger than Jonina, seems very experienced and mature.
What's even more rare is that the two children also like Lu Jingyao very much, and they don't need Jonina's care during the whole journey.
In other words, Lu Jingyao took care of the three of them, and she did the work of the nanny, assistant and translator of the three of them alone.
Jonina was very sorry, but now she only received two thousand dollars, and after tax deduction, she had to repay her debt of more than 700 pounds, and bought some essentials. She didn't have a TV at home.
[If I can win the first prize, I must give her a reasonable reward, although she is a "black worker".]
.........
At the Taiping Mountain Villa, Pei Wencong knocked on Li Ye's door.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Jeff from America boards the plane tomorrow afternoon and will arrive at Hong Kong Island the morning after tomorrow, but he asked to set the meeting time the morning after tomorrow because he still has to return to the lighthouse in the afternoon."
"Since you're here, why are you so hasty again?" Li Ye said strangely: "Have you told him that we are likely to discuss the contract."
Pei Wencong said: "Mr. Li, I told him, but he said he is an amateur author and he may be fired if he doesn't rush back in time."
"Ha, it's interesting," Li Ye nodded and said, "Then arrange it the morning after tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll inform the other three now."
Pei Wencong turned around and went out, but when he arrived at the door, he turned around and asked Li Ye: "Mr. Li, are we really not considering Mr. Wood? He may be really busy."
Li Ye said lightly: "Then let him be busy! The people we chose can all lie down and enjoy life in the future without having to go around and be busy."
Pei Wencong suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he understood something.
How did I know Li Ye at the beginning?
Since he got to know Mr. Li, didn’t he, Pei Wencong, just lying down to enjoy life?
However, since Mr. Li already has him Pei Wencong, why do you still need others?
Pei Wencong was so confused that he almost met his sister who had just come out of Li Dayong's room.
He asked with a straight face: "What's wrong, Xiaohui, what are you doing in a panic?"
Pei Wenhui gave Pei Wencong a blank look and said, "I'm not so panicked, it's because you are absent-minded."
Pei Wencong smiled and said, "Brother is thinking about things. It's getting late, so go to bed quickly!"
Pei Wenhui curled her lips and passed by Pei Wencong, but was immediately stopped by her elder brother.
"Xiaohui, have you been in the factory recently and have you been with that Li Dayong?"
"No!" Pei Wenhui said in confusion: "I have my own business to be busy with, but I must have taken good care of him and got him a lot of information about sewing machinery.
But that Mr. Li is really strong! And he is simple and cute, do you know?”
Pei Wenhui came over and lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Today he saw the Macau horse racing on TV. He actually asked me if the horses of our Hong Kong rich man ran quickly. He giggled, he giggled, he giggled, he giggled!"
Seeing his invincible young sister laughing happily, Pei Wencong couldn't help but sigh.
It would be great if Mr. Li had no girlfriend.
No, I have to ask Aqiang again.
Pei Wencong turned around and quickly walked to Aqiang's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw him holding a letter and giggling stupidly.
"A Qiang, why are you stupid again? Have you finished painting this issue of comics? I've eaten and lived all day long, and I'm getting lazy."
The dazed Aqiang slowly turned his head, just like the invisible boss in the comic. After being disturbed, he was ready to release a murderous aura to destroy everything around him.
"I'm in love, do you single dog know anything?"
Pei Wencong was stunned, then shouted in anger: "Who did you say is a single dog? Who taught you the swear words?"
“Boom~”
Aqiang said disdainfully: "Mr. Li said, go find him."
Then Aqiang looked back at the letter paper and smiled and thought that Pei Wencong did not exist.
Pei Wencong's anger suddenly turned into nothing.
He is already thirty years old and it's time to have a relationship.
......
On the morning of the third day, Lu Jingyao put on two dark circles to tidy up Jonina's hair and clothes.
"Ms. Jonina, I have read all your readers' letters in the past two days and analyzed the comments from seven literary newspapers on the market. I think your translation has a high probability of winning.
Then the author of the original work will definitely give you the right to translate, and you must work hard to get the authorization fee.”
"Lu, can't you help me fight for it? I'm not good at these things."
