Become a burden in a period novel

The arrival of Qin Wangshu and his group made the eyes of the foreigners sitting at the door light up.

This wasn't their first time at this booth, so they naturally knew Qin Wangshu was the owner. Although Chinese features aren't as striking, making them somewhat face-blind, they still remembered Qin Wangshu's face.

Upon seeing Qin Wangshu approach, someone stood up and walked over.

Some of the staff at the booth breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Wangshu arrive. Since this morning, quite a few people had come to Qin Wangshu to discuss business. They could only sign some small orders, and they couldn't make decisions about the agency deals these people wanted to discuss.

But these were all foreigners, and they wanted foreign exchange. We didn't dare offend them. Luckily, their wives were inside making a scene, and they brought some tea and snacks, which made these foreigners wait obediently outside.

Now that Qin Wangshu has finally arrived, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Qin, you've finally arrived." The first person to approach Qin Wangshu was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. He had a bright smile on his face and was very enthusiastic.

One of the staff members at the booth immediately ran over to Qin Wangshu and quietly introduced the person to her.

Qin Wangshu looked at the staff member, who was one of the students she had brought this time. She was from the foreign language department, had excellent grades, and was also very good-looking.

Qin Wangshu arranged for her to work at the booth so that she could help entertain these foreigners. It seems she did a good job; at least she has learned about the foreigners' situations.

"Okay, I understand. Zheng An, why don't you come with me and talk to them?" Qin Wangshu didn't mind giving these students more opportunities.

"Hello, Mr. James."

Her factory will expand further in the future, and may even become a group company, which will require more talent. Some students may want to enter the system, but most will probably want to earn more money.

The treatment she receives is quite good, and Qin Wangshu believes she can retain a lot of talented people.

“Okay, Teacher Qin!” Zheng An knew from Qin Wangshu’s words that she wanted to give him a chance.

Although Zheng An's family wasn't well-off, her parents were both working in the city; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn a foreign language.

Her family wanted her to get a good job after graduation, but she had been paying attention to the companies her seniors had been assigned to since she entered university.

After seeing more, she realized that given her circumstances, she probably wouldn't be assigned to a particularly good company. If she were assigned to an ordinary company, she might as well join Teacher Qin's company.

She had inquired about the staff's salaries and benefits over the past few days. Putting aside the salary, the fact that their dormitories and canteens were free made it worthwhile for her to stay.

Not to mention, she also saw a senior from her school, who was in the first graduating class. It's said that she was Qin's roommate. She was willing to give up her job to come here, so the benefits must be really good.

However, she still has more than a year until graduation, so she can think about it some more and then go home to discuss it with her parents.

Seeing that Qin Wangshu was busy, Aunt Luo asked Qin Jingchu to take her to see other places.

"Brother, why don't you take my mother over there? It's a textile zone; she'll probably be interested."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us." Qin Jingchu nodded.

After they left, Qin Wangshu looked at the group of people who had walked up to her and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

"Lady first."

With a smile, Qin Wangshu led the foreigners to the lounge that had been specially set up behind the booth.

"Please sit down!" Qin Wangshu gestured for the people to sit down.

Four foreigners came in with Qin Wangshu; Zheng An had already introduced them to her.

They come from different countries, but two of them are from the same country, though in different cities.

The four of them sat down, and soon staff brought them tea.

This tea was also one of the products at this year's Canton Fair. Qin Wangshu went there specifically to buy it because it was meant to entertain foreigners, and they were asking for it at cost price.

This tea is quite good. Although it can't compare to the taste of the tea tree in Qin Wangshu's space, it's not far off.

If this kind of tea were in later generations, Qin Wangshu probably wouldn't even have seen it. How could he have gotten it at cost price like he does now?

After the tea was served, someone else brought milk and sugar, which were placed next to the tea for people to use.

Actually, adding milk and sugar to this tea would be a waste, but that's how foreigners drink it, and we can only respect their customs when entertaining them.

Qin Wangshu actually wanted to buy some lower-quality tea, but the staff there looked at her strangely after hearing her words, so she didn't continue.

Qin Wangshu drinks plain water, which she has been doing for the past few days. The staff here are aware of her habits, so they don't put tea in front of her.

“Qin, I’d like to speak with you alone,” said Mr. James, who was the first to arrive. He didn’t want to be with the other three.
