Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 64 The host and guest enjoy themselves

State-owned restaurants are very busy around noon, and sometimes it is even difficult to get a seat.

Liu Xiaoxi followed Gu Zhan cautiously, feeling a little reserved because of Li Yuquan's presence.

Gu Zhan also noticed it and pinched her fingers to silently comfort her.

The dishes ordered by Li Yuquan were very substantial. Three out of the four dishes were meat dishes, which greatly took care of Gu Zhan, who came from the countryside and rarely saw meat throughout the year.

After the dishes were served, Li Yuquan did not pick up his chopsticks. After waiting for about two minutes, Liu Jianhua, director of the Agriculture Bureau, walked in.

At that time, people who could eat in state-owned restaurants all had some qualifications and family background. As soon as Liu Jianhua entered the door, someone came forward to shake hands and greet him. After greeting everyone one by one, he went straight to the table where Li Yuquan and Gu Zhan were.

Li Yuquan and Gu Zhan saw Liu Jianhua as soon as he entered the door. They had already stood up and were waiting for Liu Jianhua to come over.

Liu Jianhua hadn't seen Gu Zhan for a long time. When he suddenly saw him today, he felt that Gu Zhan looked much darker than the last time he saw him. So he smiled and joked, "Hey, little Gu, you've become much darker."

Gu Zhan didn't feel embarrassed at all and greeted Liu Jianhua: "Hello, Director Liu!"

Liu Jianhua looked at Liu Xiaoxi and saw her standing quietly beside Gu Zhan. She was obviously his wife.

Li Yuquan had already informed him yesterday afternoon, so he knew that Gu Zhan came to the city with his wife.

"Oh, it's Xiao Gu's wife, right? The couple is a perfect match!"

Liu Xiaoxi smiled shyly, followed everyone and sat down next to Gu Zhan.

During the meal, the topic naturally turned to the batch of books that Gu Zhan and the other two were currently translating. Liu Jianhua did not hide his esteem for Gu Zhan in his words.

"Xiao Gu, you've really helped us a lot. When we sent the books you translated to provincial experts for proofreading, they all said your translations could be used directly. Xiao Gu, you've really brought honor to our city."

"Director Liu, you are too kind."

Liu Jianhua waved his hand: "Xiao Gu, you don't have to be so polite in front of me."

In fact, Gu Zhan was also grateful to Liu Jianhua. If he had not decided to hire him in advance, he would not have been hired at all based on what those teachers had done.

Li Yuquan took over at the right time: "Xiao Gu, we are not praising you, you did a great job on this matter."

Liu Xiaoxi ate quietly, listening to them talking about work, and suddenly felt that Gu Zhan seemed very powerful.

But when did he become so good? It seemed like it was just one ordinary afternoon, but it also seemed like he was getting better every day.

No one came. Liu Xiaoxi felt anxious. Gu Zhan was so outstanding, and she was just a woman who stayed at home to take care of her husband and children. Could she be worthy of such an outstanding man?

After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

In the end, Liu Jianhua and Li Yuquan discussed and decided that except for two books left for Liu Weibing and Li Yang to translate, the rest would be translated by Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan readily agreed. Since they were all jobs that made money, the more the better.

In the backyard of the Agricultural Technology Center, after lunch, Liu Weibing was still studying at his desk. After Gu Zhan's explanation, he developed a strong interest in English.

At the same time, I also realized that the little English I learned in school was just the most basic words, which would not be enough for me to translate original books.

However, the last thing he would do is back down. The more difficult it is, the more he will face it. During this period, he is waiting for work to be assigned. Since he has already accepted the job, he must complete it with quality and quantity.

"Hey, are you still reading?"

After Li Yang finished his meal, he walked into the room and saw Liu Weibing still writing something. He took a closer look and found that it was the same thing that Gu Zhan had talked about in the morning.

Li Yang curled his lips almost imperceptibly and walked into the lounge humming an unknown tune.

Liu Weibing frowned as he looked at his nonchalant appearance. He wanted to remind him, but then he thought that their current relationship was not even that of colleagues.

After a while, when the translation of this batch of books is completed, everyone will go their separate ways. There is no need to offend Li Yang for this.

In the following time, Liu Weibing basically listened attentively and asked questions continuously, while Li Yang listened occasionally, until all the classes ended at noon the next day.

When Gu Zhan announced that all the explanations were over, Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to see Gu Zhan's uncomfortable face.

For some reason, whenever he saw Gu Zhan, Li Yang always felt an indescribable sense of inferiority in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Gu Zhan had already stepped out of the door, Liu Weibing put down his notebook, stood up and shouted, "Comrade Gu Zhan, can I treat you to lunch at noon?"

Liu Weibing was a little cautious because he always felt that Gu Zhan might refuse. It might also be because Gu Zhan had taught them for two days. When he saw Gu Zhan now, he felt like he saw his homeroom teacher. He felt at a loss and afraid.

Gu Zhan paused, turned around and said with a smile: "I'll treat you two. I'll bring my wife with me, if you don't mind."

When Liu Weibing heard Gu Zhan's agreement, he nodded ecstatically. There was no reason for him to refuse when such a powerful person invited him to dinner.

Li Yang pulled the corners of his mouth hard, forced a smile and said, "I will definitely come."

"Okay, let's meet at the state-owned restaurant at noon."

"Hey, good."

Gu Zhan came out of the room where the two of them were working and went to Li Yuquan's office.

Because when I came here in the morning, I met Li Yuquan, and he said I would go to his office after the lecture.

As soon as Gu Zhan entered the door, he saw the accountant from the Agriculture Bureau in Li Yuquan's office.

He looked at Gu Zhan with his eyes shining, thinking that this kid had really found a job to make money.

Just looking at the translated manuscripts submitted and the translation royalties earned, an average dual-income working family could not earn back even if they skipped meals and drank for a year.

Li Yuquan stood up, pulled out a stool for Gu Zhan to sit on, and handed him a list with the number of words in the manuscripts Gu Zhan had translated and the amount of the royalties.

Gu Zhan took a quick look and found it was about the same as his estimate. He handed the list back to Li Yuquan and said, "Director, no problem."

Li Yuquan naturally knew that there was no problem, he just showed the list to Gu Zhan out of respect.

The calculation of this royalties was urgently discussed last night, and today we just need to confirm its issuance.

Not long after, the cashier came to Li Yuquan's office with sufficient cash and gave the royalties to Gu Zhan in front of Li Yuquan.

After receiving the heavy amount of royalties, Gu Zhan was already thinking that after he handed the royalties to Liu Xiaoxi, she would definitely look very surprised again.
