Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Joining the Translation Agency 6

He Teng only then looked over in He Zhilan’s direction upon hearing this, without any hesitation, he strode directly towards her.

There, He Zhilan saw that He Teng didn’t intend to avoid her and happily bounced over. Due to her excitement, she immediately hugged He Teng, "What a coincidence! You’re staying here too!"

"En." He Teng nodded, and seeing He Zhilan’s colleagues looking at him, he took the initiative to nod to them.

"Zhilan, who’s this?" Fang Ran and Sister Lin leaned in towards He Zhilan to ask.

"My brother! He Teng!" He Zhilan introduced them, "Bro, this is Sister Lin, this is Fang Ran, oh, and that one over there, Zhou Hongjin!"

He Zhilan called out for Zhou Hongjin, "He was my senior in university and a good friend!"

"I know Zhou Hongjin, he’s one of the guys I hang with!" After Zhou Hongjin came over, Fang Ran slapped Zhou Hongjin’s shoulder with his hand forcefully, with a loud thud, showing no mercy, "Us few, including Sister Lin, have known each other for a long time!"

"When did you come back? You didn’t even tell me!" Zhou Hongjin frowned, "You hit so hard."

"Isn’t it because I’m excited?" Fang Ran smiled and shook his hand, "Gotta say, you’re still as tough as before. It hurts my hand to hit you!"

While Fang Ran was talking to Zhou Hongjin, He Zhilan was softly asking He Teng about his visit to Qiao City.

Now that they had met, He Teng didn’t continue to keep it secret, "Zhou Hongjin is representing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while I am..." He Teng paused, searching for the right adjective, "a high-level bodyguard, ensuring the safety of the entire delegation."

"No way? They need you, a deputy leader, to protect just a few people?" He Zhilan exclaimed in astonishment.

"There are a few other young soldiers, it’s not just me," He Teng said, "They’re currently arranging follow-up work, which is why they’re not sticking close."

Bringing He Teng out was to show these foreign partners how seriously our country took their arrival, or rather, the technology they were bringing with them.

"How long will you be staying here?" He Zhilan sighed, "My work here is almost over, and only now you’ve come. It would have been great if you had arrived earlier!"

"About a week," He Teng replied softly, then joined Zhou Hongjin back with the group of people.

However, when everyone went upstairs together and stopped on the same floor, they all laughed, each of them commenting on how strong their fate was to meet like this.

He Teng and his party had just arrived; they came directly from abroad and were busy adjusting to the jet lag upon arrival at the hotel.

After freshening up in their rooms, Sister Lin directly called He Zhilan to invite He Teng and Zhou Hongjin to dine together with everyone.

The venue was chosen by Fang Ran, who was more familiar with Qiao City than everyone else since it was their first time visiting.

The five people, sitting together with dishes served, the atmosphere was lifted, but since everyone was working, no one inappropriately brought up drinking.

There, Sister Lin was originally catching up with Zhou Hongjin, but somehow, the conversation shifted to Zhou Hongjin’s major life events.

"Sister Lin, you’re a non-maritalist, and yet you still care about my marriage?" Zhou Hongjin gave a wry smile.

"I’m a non-maritalist, but you’re not. You’re not getting any younger, and your career is on the rise. It’s time to think about settling down," Sister Lin said in an elder sister’s tone, then turned her head, glanced towards Fang Ran, then looked back at He Zhilan and He Teng, and laughed, "I’ve realized, all five of us at this table are unmarried! It’s okay for boys to be late, but not for girls! Our Zhilan, having gone to university, is already behind other girls. Now that you’ve graduated, what are your plans?"
