I’ve practically memorized your personal information, and it doesn’t say you’re married?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng looked at Zhong Fan holding the paper, stepped aside, and invited him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You remember correctly, I’m not married yet, just planning to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan exclaimed, then followed Jiang Cheng and asked, \"Have you set the date for the wedding? This, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan wanted to reach into his pocket again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic seemed incomplete without something to accompany it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng quickly stopped Zhong Fan, saying, \"Don’t! Don’t rush, my future spouse hasn’t proposed yet, and the date isn’t set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan was completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do young people now have a trend of verbal marriages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng looked at Zhong Fan and, without any girlish modesty, said, \"My fiancé is too handsome, I’m afraid someone might snatch him away. I thought I’d better bring him home quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan’s mouth hung open for over a minute, finally squeezing out, \"You... really are different!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the compliment, indeed people as strategically-minded and excellent as me are rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan chuckled twice, as long as you’re happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had already entered the room, and Jiang Cheng gave Zhong Fan a brief introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan finally understood why the tall Gao Zhonghua called her sister-in-law earlier; it was because Jiang Cheng’s partner was concerned about her safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhong Fan added, \"Jiang Cheng, when you’ve set the wedding date, let me know in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng readily agreed, then took the tea brewed by Li Chunxiang and placed it in front of Zhong Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have some tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan acknowledged but paused, saying, \"I’ll drink the tea later, let’s talk business first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng sat across from Zhong Fan, waiting for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, here’s the thing, your recent performance has spread across all the booths, and several ceramic factories have come to us, hoping you can lend a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng listened and asked in confusion, \"What do they need my help with? Is there someone suppressing prices in ceramics too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the transactions are similar to previous years, but who doesn’t want better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, our translation department would like you to give some crash courses to other translators overnight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan expressed with emotion, \"If it weren’t for this time, I never realized the significant role of translation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you said that day was great: translators are the first gateway, and we indeed should take on more responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng nodded continuously, not opposing Zhong Fan’s suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment before saying, \"Zhong Fan, I wonder if you could coordinate with the foreign trade department, and best let us into the trading venue to learn, which would be more targeted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take ceramics, for instance. Each piece has its own method, craftsmanship, even a story behind it, and every pattern is different. Many foreigners are fascinated by our culture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly, this time there are more foreign traders, who are most concerned with profit, but only by convincing them can we make them more interested in purchasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Fan nodded repeatedly, stood up without delay, and said, \"I’ll head to the foreign trade department right away, wait for my news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stood up to see Zhong Fan out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhong Fan left, Jiang Cheng began organizing some basic knowledge about ceramics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 8:30 in the evening, Zhong Fan returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Director Leng and Director Mu came along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng was familiar with them, and there were no lengthy pleasantries exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Mu and Director Leng promised to personally escort Jiang Cheng back, and with Li Chunxiang accompanying her, Gao Zhonghua was reassured enough to let Jiang Cheng leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group left the courtyard, heading straight to the exchange venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they drove there; the speed was significantly faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Cheng and the others arrived, the bus from the translation department was also there, along with several factory managers waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side door of the exchange building opened, and a group walked in with Jiang Cheng in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng held a simple megaphone and went straight to the point, \"Let’s skip the small talk and begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fireworks booth... exports primarily to Southeast Asia, country R, country M... Fireworks generally have two selling points: romance and excitement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In country M, they have a tradition of setting off small fireworks for Valentine’s Day and their national holiday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ceramic patterns have many intricacies... the lotus branch pattern, as the name implies, resembles branches...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivory ceramics are mostly favored by country M and country R, as they consider simpler patterns to indicate higher quality products.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Jiang Cheng started, she didn’t stop for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spared no effort in teaching everyone the basic guidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng walked around the booth briefly, identifying the selling points of each product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing a round, over four hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stood once more at the doorway, carefully advising, \"Always avoid the points that each country dislikes, and don’t let selling become a burden for you; your most important job is translation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t obsess over details. Sometimes overly selling can have the opposite effect. If you find your words annoying even to yourself, stop, because your audience is likely even more uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mentioning several more points, today’s late-night translation training concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the translation department left first, leaving a few factory managers from the ceramics section at the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stepped forward a few paces, saying, \"Let’s discuss this here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factory managers followed Jiang Cheng for another round, impressed by this knowledgeable girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They accompanied Jiang Cheng back to the ceramics booth, where Jiang Cheng examined each piece and inquired about the sales volume and prices of each product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are all the ceramics displayed here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes—no, wait, there’s still a box of backup items that didn’t fit here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by one of the factory managers, Jiang Cheng saw a wooden box stuffed with straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out each ceramic piece, most of which were best-sellers from previous years, differing only slightly in size and shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jiang Cheng’s hand was something that wasn’t quite a vase or a wine pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a very large belly, with the mouth of the bottle almost as wide as the belly, then a very slender neck at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a small sake bottle from country R that had gotten a big belly and shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not... someone must have misplaced it; this is a defective piece we were going to destroy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factory manager quickly took the flawed piece from Jiang Cheng’s hand, preparing to toss it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, let me see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng reached out, and the puzzled factory manager handed it over, saying, \"This was considered destroyed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng shook her head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why define it as destroyed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my view, so-called good quality is just based on the recognition we created ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing is truly ruined; it depends whether someone likes it or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.788Z",1,"novelbin.me","14757aabc74edf69595e90d85ff3dd65709c720a60e32567a206f6f525e26e9d","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-161","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-144",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
